, t i r' f , ! 5 I 5 ( Paqs 2 THE NEBRASKAN Friday, January 11, 1957 Nebraska.! Editorials: The Price Of Oracles University students and faculty are waiting for some answers as the semester draws to a close. WIH the University budget request be granted by the Legislature? Will Pete Elliott return to the University? "Will the committee on academic tenure and privilege reach any decision? The interrogative method sounds rather melo dramatic and is used, admittedly, for effect. Nevertheless, each of these situations presents a rather serious problem to the reputation and progress of the University. The Nebraskan has said that almost full ap proval of the requested budget is necessary for the welfare of the state as well as that of the University. Nebraska taxpayers do not want to pay again and again for new teachers, nor do they desire to send their children to a second class state University. The possibility of removal of accreditation of the College of Medicine should be and is frightening to many citizens. Loss of Pete Elliott as football coach is some thing that few people contemplated even as recently as a week ago. The first hint came when the Board of Regents hiked his salary $2,500. There are few Nebraskans who don't like Pete and who don't want him here next fall. One of the more perplexing aspects of the situ ation is that it is hard to imagine why Nebras ka's coach would want to change schools for a few thousand dollars when he is already one of the highest paid men of his age in the coun try and is on the way to an outstanding career at the University. Dr. C. Clyde Mitchell, and his accusations of abridgement of academic freedom which are aimed, in effect, at top administrators of the University are neither proven nor disproven. The committee has become weary of questions by Nebraskan staff members, and the student news paper's prodding has had few visible results. What Pete Elliott decides to do should be known within a few days. The budget story wont be completed until late spring. The issue of Clyde Mitchell should have been finished a month ago, but promises to be with us until spring, also. Of course, we would like to see Pete remain at the University and we would like full ap proval of the budget. The odds of the first men tioned wish are about even, the second item is almost beyond hope and Clyde Mitchell's case, like the poor, may always be with us. An Encircling Vice Governor Victor Anderson told student coun cil representatives Tuesday that he doubted if the full University budget would be adopted and that he "would have a problem to even get what I recommend.' The Governor has already gone on record as saying that he would recommend a $2.4 million increase of the $5.5 million asked specifically for salary increases and adjustments to the Legislature. For the remainder of the increase he suggested a tuition increase supplemented by a Student Loan Plan but he said he would not recommend the tuition increase to the Board of Regents. Likewise, the Board of Regents have said that they will not act upon a tuition increase until the final budget has been passed by the Legislature in one form or another. It appears that a vice is developing on all sides with pressures bearing most heavily upon toe Legislature at the present time. However, in the end it seems that tts final pressure is to be brought upon the student. "The $60 tuition increase mentioned by the Gov ernor would raise $2,3 million in two years and added to the $2.4 million to be recommended by the Governor, if passed by the Legislature, the total increase would still be short of the amount asked by the adnuniestratkn. If put to the stu dents as suggested by several sources The Ne braskan has no doubt that the overwhelming answer would be no, even with a Student Loan Plan. It is true that a college education should be one of the student's most important invest ments but indebtedness can be feared most as shown by many Nebraska businessmen who are experiencing the tightening of credit when they need the loans in the worst way. Many students are now graduating from the University in debt and an increased tuition would certainly gather a few more students who would have to begin working to afford their schooling. A first rate university must have the respect of the people in the state and even more so because a good many oi those people are sending their children to the university. How ever, this respect cannot be maintained if the University cannot afford to pay its professors enough to keep them or if the students have to pay so much tuition that they cannot afford to go to the school. A state institution has its first responsibility in the students of that state and the hope of the people in the state and the university is that those students will remain in the state after graduation. This will not be so if the university does not have enough funds to run a first rate institution, progressive in research and facilities and able to pay professors and instructors salaries that will keep the univer sity on that progressive trend.

Iifm-T trWj T Vf j. lrT "tHtfttiir 'round the prickly pear Are our universities becoming little more than athletic institu tions offering educational facilities to the feeble-bodied? Perhaps this is stretching the point, but nevertheless it's - just about time that someone restored a measure of sanity to intercol legiate athletics. The most recent example of the alarming proportions to which big time football has grown is the amusing were it not so pathetic game of musical chairs being played with several head coach- Bruce Brugmann ing positions throughout the na tion. And not the least colorful epi sode of this rapidly growing pas time is the one at Nebraska in which Pete Elliott, given a $2500 salary boost by the Board of Re gents, is negotiating with officials from the University of Washing ton. Latest development is the charge, hurled by NU athletic di rector Bill Orwig, that "stealing football coaches is rotten b u s i ness." Preceding the annual coach hunting craze, the bungling of which is likely to send an unlucky participant blushing to a nearby hillside dugout, were explosions in the Pacific Coast Conference and the Big Ten which resulted in efforts to revamp their respec tive athletic codes. Published evidence in both con ferences revealed a disgraceful amount of illegal recruiting and unauthorized assistance to football players. If the success of a good football team depends on dangling unau thorized lures before prospective high school athletes, the price is too high. If the success of a good football team depends on keeping a coach by elevating his salary unreason ablyto a point far surpassing the salaries of the athletic director, the top-ranking professors, the col lege deans and the governor, the price is too high. If the success of a good football team depends on inducing its star players to play by granting them financial aid above and beyond the NCAA and conference stan dards, the price is too high. If the success of a good football team depends on pandering to the public (normally a group of loud mouthed alumni) rather than work ing for the best interests of the players and the highest standards of the institution, the price is too high. The question which remains be fore us is simply this: At what cost, big-time football? HERE ARE THE CORRECT ANSWERS TO THE OLD GOLD J lFHo ) PUZZLES '' Mill I'll' '.'""
