THE NEBRASKAN Tuesdoy, October 30, 1956 Pecs . , I 4 -r Nebraskan Editorial la Ia f Jo Frafj Mou? Proo Peter Raible, minister of Lincoln's All Souls Unitarian Church, has labeled a portion of the University's faculty as "discouraged," "sick at heart," and "fearful." He baa said with some qualification that the University, as a whole, is "sick." He has called the present policies of the University acts of cowardice. In the past year there have been several in cidents that give partial credence to the Lin coln mlnistr's remarks, not the least of these being the Clyde Mitchell case which is inten tionally not referred to by the Rev. Mr. Raible. The academic problem is that there have been no men of recognize! stature, men of disinter ested nature, who are willing to stand up and be counted as observers of these injustices, if they exist. There have been no proofs of administrative pressures which have threatened the freedom of the University atmosphere brought before the University community in an objective or factual manner. This is not to say that such practices have never existed. Mitchell claims that he will be able to prove that unfair pressures were exerted on Mm while he was chairman of the department of agricultural economics. Although The Nebraskan was a strong sup porter of Mitchell's case last spring, we now acknowledge that little or no evidence of un questioned veracity has ever been presented. By custom, it is the accuser that must bear the burden of proof. In the case last spring, Mitchell was the ac cuser. He will soon have his "day in court." Politically As far as election surmises go one thing is fairly certain, President Eisenhower's popular ity is an invincible element in the field of poli tics. Everywhere he goes, Ike attracts immense crowds which virtually bubble over with en thusiasm in support of the president. There is little chance, despite his much stronger position than in '52, that Adlai Steven son can even approach the vote of Eisenhower in the coming election. The Democrats are aware that their presi dential candidate is for the most part less popu lar in many states than local party office holders and candidates. Because of this fact the Demo crats have been applying what Time calls a 'reserve tail-coat" operation that is to say, Adlai is campaigning on the popularity if auch men as Lyndon Johnson, Soapy Williams, and Hubert Humphrey when stumping Texas, Michi gan, and Minnesota respectively. This new strategy coupled with Adlai's strengthened political machine and greater knowledge of the intricate workings of American politics, give the Democratic aspirant for presi dent a much better chance to gain the White House. Despite these indications that Adlai is treding on the more stable political ground, Ike's amazing popularity has been retained and pos sibly increased during the last few weeks. Ironically enough the Republicans seem to be having great difficulty pushing their congres sional and senatorial candidates even with the From The Daily Kansan: Closer Today's devout Republican and Democrat need to get out into the world and see more and talk more and hear more. This will shake-up their political beliefs a little but it will also strengthen them where they deserve to be strengthened. Now, a man goes through life believing in a party and its candidates and feels confident and comfortable in doing so. He reads the magazines newspapers and columnists who help him be lieve as he does, and he talks with those who support his position. If a Democrat sits down to read the column of David Lawrence or George Sokolsky, he is as comfortable in knowing they are fallible as he is in his easy chair. They may write something but whatever, it might be, it's only sprinkled among conservative "trash" and bias. The Republican, likewise, sniffs at leftist pub lications as at an ill-wind blowing socialism east ward across the Pacific. He looks at the qual ity of paper the New Republic and the Nation use and deduces everything but the simple fact that these publications don't have the circula tion as does Times magazine or other national and well-known magazines'. Then comes the day the day when the dyed-in-the-wool, comfortable believer is either matched against opponents who have just as much dye in their wool, or he is put face to face with his candidate's opponent. In the first case, there is a discussion and each points ou the qualities of his candidate and jeers at the inadequacies of the opposing office seeker. If the participants in the discus sion are not party blind and if each can support his candidate soundly on a few points, they will walk away from the discussion a little less devoted to their news sources and friends be cause the opponents argument was sound in places just as was his own. This condition is good even if it is depress ing for a time. It makes a person realize the fallibility of his own, guiding publications and it shows him the profit in questioning his own beliefs even more than just those of people who hold other convictions. It is much more dif ficult to prove one's self right than to prove oth- The Nebraskan FIFTY-FIVE YEARS OLD limber: Associated Collegiate Press Intercollegiate Press fejsresefitaSIvei National Advertising Service, Incorporated TuMMed St: Room 20, Student Unloa nth & a University of Nebraska Lincoln, Nebraska .

Aebiwduv nudcr tlw rxt of August 4.U1S. In the instance of the "open letter to Chan cellor Hardin," it is the Rev. Peter Raible who is the accuser, and again, as such, he too should bear some burden of proof. It would appear that he has presented no proof, but opinion. It would appear that be has offered not truth but advice. We would ask the Rev. Mr. Raible what right he has to join the chorus of voices who challenge the integrity of the University with words and not facts. The Nebraskan will literally fly to the side of that responsible individual who will prove an instance of violation of academic privilege. But, The Nebraskan has grown tired of un substantiated claims of lack-of integrity on the part of the Chancellor and the administrative saff. The Nebraskan has grown weary of charges that can only harm the University. Without sub stantiation, these charges boil down to nothing more than "name calling." The Nebraskan does not know if members of the faculty are discouraged it is possible that some are discouraged and fearful but we do not know this, there has never been any clear evidence of unfair pressure exercised by the University in dealings with faculty which we be lieve to be clear cut and unquestionable. If. violations of academic freedom exist and if professors are fearful and sick of heart, then let some man shake off this fear and abandon cowardice and let this man present truth and The Nebraskan will see that he is heard. We believe that there is no defense against truth, just as we believe that there is no point in unfounded name-calling. Speaking rising tide of the president's popularity. The Oregon senatorial contest, involving tne political turnstile Wayne Morse and former In terior Secretary Douglas McKay, promises to be one of the closest elections of the year. Morse is one of Eisenhower's most outspoken foes. In contrast, McKay ardently supports Ike and his policies of moderation. In Washington, Republican Governor and con vention key-noter, Arthur Langlie is slugging it out with Democratic Senator Warren Magnuson for the latters Congressional post. "Maggie" and Langlie both are excellent vote-getters, however the Democratic senator is currently ahead in the campaign and is the predicted winner. In California Republican Senator 'Thomas Kuchel is running scared in his fight against young state senator Richard Richards. John Sherman Cooper, who was defeated by the late Alben Barkley in 1952, is reported run ning very strong in Kentucky and from all indi cations should win. The controversial Happy Chandler, Democratic governor, is supporting the Republican senatorial candidates in the Blue Grass State. His influence is questionable, how ever. Although the experts feel that Ike will win the presidency and the Democrats will retain con trol of both the House and the Senate, Ike would insure a Republican majority in either or both of the houses, if he repeats his landslide victory of '52. crul'my ers wrong, which is perhaps the explanation for so little of it being done. In the second case, meeting the man who is trying to defeat your candidate, a good is also produced. Although few people will admit it, the politicians hand-shaking, even with those who vehemently say he is a dirty politician and an opportunist, has its effect. Coming face to face with this man will temper your convictions. It isn't easy to talk to a man who pats you on the shoulder, asks about your home town and how you are and not have him make a place, however little it might be, in your heart. A person discovers this political devil to be human and as such, fallible. He sees him in a honorable light for a change and wonders if all the unkind and condemning things he's heard about him might be partly wrong. Again, the person who has not experienced this will not believe it. Nor will the fool who un derstands no change of convictions. However, it is so and that is why more Democrats should meet more Republicans and vice versa. No matter which happens, each of the two instances cause a person to reconsider his politi cal beliefs. And if there is anything that's need ed in politically unconscious America, it's closer scrutiny of party politics by the party members themselves. After thoughts This Is Living? The University of Texas was faced with quite a problem this fall. It seems that it sent out more dormitory space contracts than there were available rooms. As a result, 16 students showed up with contracts, only to find that they didn't have a room. Since that time, they've been living in the dormitory hallways. Univer sity officials indicated the extra contracts were mailed because some room cancellations were expected. As of September 21, those cancella tions hadn't materialized and the students were still in the halls. EDITORIAL STAFF r.dltor F.ditorlal Kdltor. . .......................

For the most part I agree with Brother Dick. Life is not long enough for any man to collect, unaided by those who have lived before, all the wisdom which experience can give. We are presumtuous to as sumeas we are inclined to that and furniture makers are not fables; the stories are true, and they add to the thrill of owning an tiques. But no tradition can gather around assembly line products; no trade secret is necessary to turn bolt after bolt, hour after hour, night shift after night shift. Mass production is a tedious process, and its procuts are equally tedi ous. All this should not be con strued as a battle against pro gress. That kind of fight would be futile. I am simply being wist ful. Does anyone know where I can buy a handmade cuckoo clock? Steve Schultz the America of Metro Goldwyn Mayer and Richard Nixon needs no advice from the Greece of Theatre Dionysus and Pericles. And certainly the modern portray ers of dead fish and explosions in paint factories could benefit from study of the literary and plastic arts of Greece and Rome. But I differ with Dick on one point; he seems to foresee that a classical revival would mean marvelous marble temples instan taneously springing up where corn grew before. (Probably the author of "Pandoria" does not believe in overnight architectural miracles, but his article gave that impres sion.) The point needs some clari fication. Men of Greece did noW live beautiful lives because they constructed perfect buildings and sculpted mighty statues; on the contrary, they built and carved well because their everyday lives were beautiful. The ancients sir rounded themselves with works of art which were minor only in di mensions. Their cups and caucers, knives and forks were miracles of craftsmanship. Their religion com pelled them to erect shrines in their homes, carved and painted with artistry and precision though they were small in size. And the Greeks had leisure to stop on street corners for speculations about manners and morals. Con trast this everyday beauty of an cient times with our life today. We drink from plastic cups, we ea; with plastic spoons. After din ner we become engrossed with the trivialities of television rather than with discussions like the "Symposium." We drive chrome laden automobiles, which may be faster than chariots but are not as aesthetically pleasing. And so on and so on in modern life. Mass production is, of course, responsible for our beauty-barren lives. When one must produce in quantity, he has little time to consider quality. Instead of orna ment one must consider function and instead of craftsmanship, speed fit manufacture. Moreover, mass production has caused us to lose the sense of tra dition. Antiques are not necessar ily valuable for their beauty, though beauty is a contributing factor. Antiques attain value be cause in their presence the behold er has a feeling of awe for the craftsmanship involved in their making.

Just what this decision is has been kept a secret from normally well-informed observers and not a few experts. Press representatives far the Possum Hopeful have said tersely, "We do not know." Terse ly, a reporter for the Wallaby Word has copyrighted a story today which says in effect that "No com ment" is the byword. It is believed that the affair may blow over, or may possibly blow up into a major campaign issue. In any event, by sheer reiteration, politicians here have made of "no comment" a key, or major, phrase. Some disturbance among the Bandicoot Band members was no ticed today as the group (Basil Baxter's Bugle Bunch) performed at a ceremony intended to welcome the Welcoming Committee selected to welcome Pogo to Australia when he gets here in search of votes already concerned by ttie two ma jority parties. It is believed that the Tuba section inferred that the Welcoming Committee was wel come to leave any time it so desired. A strong movement in the Trombones combined to pour wa ter into six tubas and upon seven tuba players.
