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.

'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?
