The Daily Nebraskan Monday, September 30. 1 957 V 1 5 ft v t A"': r n . 4' V iff , Y.-K , -v ; Yp ' A ' P'J Editorial Comment Word to the Wise Orfer From Chaos Were jetting something settled, it appears. And that ia the question of who can do what to the pep rallies to make them truly representa tive of student support for the Cornhuskers rather than support for individual houses. The Student Council sent recommendations to the Corn Cobs to the effect that immediate Faculty Tenure The Mitchell case goes on, the names have changed, the place, fortunately, is different, but the story and plot are very similar. In Brookings, South Dakota, as in Lubbock, Texas, situations arise where a highly esteemed mem ber of the faculty is relieved of his job under mysterious or shady circumstances. The Daily Nebraskan does not want to continue to grind the axe on the Mitchell case, but we do want to point out, when necessary, things we feel need little revelation. In this case we note, that, though this did not happen at the University, it's similarity to the Mitchell case makes it of interest to our readers. We feel that our readers would have much sympathy for these other colleges, having our selvea experienced a like situation. Affairs of this kind put the institutions in an extremely bad light, though perhaps not unjustly. The situation at South Dakota State College In Brookings, involves a one-time University of Nebraska professor, Ephriam Hixson, who re signed early this month from his position as Dean of Graduate Students at South Dakota State College. Dean Hixson resigned because, as he said, there is "no freedom of thought" at the South Dakota State College. He said seven persons including President John Headley were responsible for this at S. D. College, and that the conditions would continue as long as these men remained. With his resignation, Hixson filed a 42-page report with the Board of Regents which stated hit reasons for resigning and complaints about these seven men. The Regents, in a recent meeting, confronted Headley with these complaints. Headley excused himself with the statement that "He (Hixson) and I were administratively incompatible." Without any feasible reason, Headley dis missed the matter. If the claims Hixson made are not true, it would seem logical that Headley would have reply to the charges, but since he chose, in a matter of speaking, to take the fifth amendment, we see.no other logical con clusion than that the Hixson complaints were made with just cause, evidently the regents felt the same way. The regents decided to make "an immediate and thorough investigation of the personnel prob lems of State College and that when the facts re assembled and studied, positive and appro priate action will be taken." In Lubbock, Texas, at Texas Tech, the situa tion is similar to that at South Dakota College, though seemingly Texans do everything in a big way. Instead of one faculty member losing his job, it was three. The Texas Tech faculty has charged that the college board of directors violated accrediation standards on faculty tenure and academic freedom in firing these professors and then refusing to reconsider or give reasons for their actions. The Board chairman said in reply to these charges that, "the unanimous de cision of the board stemmed from what was considered best for Texas Tech." This again we look at as "taking the fifth amendment" the board chairman, in giving no logical explanation for the board's action causes us to draw the conclusion that there is no explanation or that it ia a poor one. action be taken to forestall any further recur rance of violence at the rallies. We were in a quandry for a while last week following the Pre-Washington State game when no sources could or would say just where author ity lies to set up regulations for the conduct of the rallies. It appears that the Council delegated the powers it was given by its constitution to the Corn Cobs several years ago. Then it will be up to the Cobs to lay down the law as far as the rallies are concerned and see to it that gentlemen conduct themselves as such and that vigor is apportioned for th team rather than for any one particular house. It s a sad state of affairs when organized houses must resort to the destruction of the property of other houses. But boys will be boys and the ruling established by the IFC last year aimed at halting mob violence at the rallies seemed to have fallen aside. We are just hoping that this year the Corn Cobs will get to work but fast on the proposal which we suggested a year ago to give the rallies new life and keep them directed to their original purpose. If the Cobs take the advice of the Student Council the situation will be resolved. It is a feather in the hat of the council that the letter was written promptly and with some force. Now it's up to the Cobs. 1 s -5f ywiiawtiesewgr- l" i if H ir .si! 1 JVtT Cost of Peace The following editorial is another In the series of fine ideas of man culled from sister news papers. This editorial appeared in the Mita University Campus, English journal of Mita, a Japanese college. How the world longed for perpetual peace when the World War II was declared at an end! Since then people have been trying to establish a peaceful Utopia without war. The result, how ever, is not so satisfactory so far. Everywhere on the earth are experienced the harmful nuclear explosion tests, and there are cold war antagonisms as if to threaten "If you want to fight, then I will let you know how strong I am." In every day life people often waste their energy, on trifle things. Though the reasonably economical life is respected by everything, it is not taken up in real life. "Such is the way in real life," is often heard. But should a man of intelligence think so? Of course not. They know what is right and what is wrong, but they do not assert themselves. The same is true with today's big countries in the world. Tliey know the war would bring only disaster but no profit. They want peace but they have no courage to disarm. Do not behave from the political view. Must have a heart-to-heart talk with each other; Then make up their minds not for the ske of them selves, but for the well-being of the human beings ! from the editoi First Things First. . . by Jack Pollock Heartbreak of the Week: The announcer de scribing Bennie Dillard going "from the 13, to the 10, to the five and over the Army goal line standing up but there's a flag on the play . . And an offside penalty nullified Nebraska's only scoring threat against Army Saturday. This week the Cornhuskers meet one of the trongest Kansas State teams they've met in yean. This last weekend the small but expe rienced Wildcats demolished Brigham Young University 36-7 at Manhattan, site of this week's X-State, Nebraska tilt. The Wildcats boast a squad with much expe rience combined with improved speed. Of the top 22 player, from the 1956 squad, 16 returned this year. Last year, with a mediocre season f three wins and seven losses, they tied for fifth In the Big Seven. One of their three wins waa a 10-7 upset over the Cornhuskers. Says Kansas State coach Bus Mertes of his quad, "They're small but I have never known any ball club with as much spirit and enthu iiaera as this one. We have a solid first unit with nine of last year's starters back . . ." It'i no surprise category: That Oklahoma Is rated the number one team again. (They didn't play this past weekend.) That Uie Cornhuskers may have a winless season. That the Huskers need spirit. Already the drugstore critics are holding wakes. For those who criticize so readily: It" easier to point out a team s mistakes than it is to work out day after day on the field for dear old NU. The Cornhuskers are trying hope the fans can too. t Quote of the week: "The best game of the season would be an Oklahoma intersquad con test." Another of the University's most ardent sup porters died last week. He was Fred Ballard, 72, nationally-known playwright and native Nebraskan. Mr. Ballard graduated from the University in 1905, majoring in English and American his tory. Until the time he died, at his residence at the YMCA, Mr. Eallard kept a close tab on all the University activities. In 1911, Mr. Ballard received Harvard Uni versity's first master's degree ever given in creative writing. He also received the Harvard Prize Play award for his comedy, "Believe Me, Xantippe," played on Broadway by John Barrymore and later produced by practically every stock college and Little Theater group in the country. Many of his comedies and plays were later produced as movies. It was Mr. Ballard who let the University Players use several of his top Broadway plays free of royalty charges. The group, in appre ciation, set up the Fred Ballard Scholarship Fund at the University. Daily Nebraskan FTFTY-SEX TEARS OLD an tba phi of ur imoa evtslde. the I a1reri.lt j.

YOU'VE MUSED TDtWl J (YgS I AMH)" v A Few Words Of a Kind The Galley Slave dick shugrue Freddy Foulup didn't have . a chance in life. He was a well ad justed man. Freddy really never thought much about this though until he won a contest sponsored by a breakfast food company searching for the best adjusted eater of "Sog gy Slush", their number one ce real product. 1 eat 'Soggy Slush because" . . . had H-gun Freddy's letter. A few weeks after he had mailed and forgotten about the letter, the phone rang at his home. Freddy's wife told him he was wanted on the telephone. "Hi," said Freddy. "Congratulations, Mr. Foulup," began the man on the other end of the line. And that was the first big step toward Freddy's down fall. The breakfast food company splashed Freddy's picture and life statistics over billboards, calen dars, magazine covers, book match es, sandwich boards, television and movie screens, and in hund reds of newspapers and several colorful brochures. Freddy's house began to fill up with stacks of mail he could never possibly read in two busy life times, his telephone started a con stant jingling, and people in the streets made it a habit to point their fingers at Freddy and say, "There he is, son. The world's best adjusted person." Mr. Foulup never had a moment to himself. Everyone wanted ad vice on how to be well adjusted. He started to worry. Not about himself, of course, but about every one else. "These people aren't well ad justed enough to take care of them selves," Freddy thought. So he went to work. He ran for presi dent. Everyone knew Mr. Foulup was the world's best adjusted person e. c. hines . . . and even though he didn't have a meritorius war record ... he easily won the election. Now Mr. Foulup was president. "The rest of the country must do as I say," he said. "It is for their own good." Soon, every man in the country was going to bed at 10 p.m., getting up at 6 a.m., kissing the wife goodbye at 6:45 a.m., and then walking 4 miles to work, ar riving there at 8 a.m., and work ing furiously until S p.m. when they returned home. Their dinners would be waiting for them when they got home. Their wives and children would always smile. Their dogs never ripped, up the newspaper. And their babies never cried. The television com medians were always funny, and Ed Sullivan was making weekly appearances on the Steve Allen show and con sidering a merger . . . everyone was well adjusted. But a strange thing happened. Some people got tired of being well adjusted. Eventually more and more people got tired of being well adjusted. These people peti tioned Mr. Foulup to let tiiera re turn to their old ways of life. Freddy made the mistake of re fusing their request. One afternoon while he was sitting at home watching the "Little Rascals" . . . a television series he had been considering outlawing because the children obviously weren't well-adjusted . . . one of the disgruntled petitioners shot him. Even before Freddy was laid in his grave, life around the coun try had returned to normal. Sulli van was again boasting about out rating Allen, husbands were beat ing their wives, and dogs were no longer careful with newspapers. Everyone was happy again. MORAL: Eat, drink., and be merry for tomorrow you may die. pis With all crusading passion aside I believe we should look objectively for a moment at the situation created by the crisis in educa tion and evaluate the words which our chancellor spoke at the State of the University address. This will exclude eny sentiment over the quality of the student body at the convocation or those words which weren't spoken. First, for a little bit of b a ckground. The New York Times pointed out recently that the second report of the Pre sident's Advisory Com m 1 1 1 e e on Higher Edu cation is even more provoca tive and challenging than the in terim study issued last November. The Times indicates that some of the language used is indeed strong. "The increase in both pop ulation and scientific knowledge is called an 'explosion.' In another context the word burst is used. But the strongest language of all is re served for the lack of adequate information in the field." The Times points out that at present more than a fourth of our population is enrolled in some form and that in another dozen years we can expect a collegiate popu lation of 6,000,000. Well, the wja-l Timps malrs: - wiiic auiM.- w .r n.- ? jraia Ul U1C aq uation which the chancellor did. "It is ob- v i o u s that teacher short age is and will continue to be the most diffi cult of all the. problems to be faced. The Times adds that the com mittee report points out this is an economic as well as an educational problem and recommends teacher salaries should be doubled if enough teacher recruits were to be expected. The New York newspaper in dicates, in addition, that there will have to be a total reorganization of the whole structure, since it was never geared to meet any such volume of educational and social responsibility as is certain to come. "This crisis is real. Strong mea- I .iz im .Courtesy Lincoln Journal Hardin sures must be taken to meet it," the Times concludes. Dr. Hardin pointed 'out that a "quality teaching program assures (the University's) students of the best possible learning opportunity." The chancellor emphasized that at "no time in its history has the University been able to offer a better opportunity for the student interested in higher education." What is encouraging about the words of the chancellor is that the University is making a concert ed effort to keep up with, if not to surpass, the steps being made throughout the nation in the ed ucational crisis. Granted that the teaching prob lem and the problem of adequate facilities for the University are of prime interest to all citizens of the state the support of the Uni versity should come from every segment of Nebraska. But fore most it should come from the stu dents themselves who are reapin? firsthand the benefits of today's modern education. Steps are beiifg taken, I be lieve, to improve the calibre of teaching on many fronts. But we must not become com placent or apathetic or whatever you want to call it, to the pending crisis. it ir it Despite what Jim Cole or Dr. Fuenning says, Inez Robb of the Chicago Daily News says she has been informed that Asian Flu is, in reality, a "dry run on germ warfare. If everybody is in bed for days with a thermometer in his mouth, maybe the enemy won't have to use hydrogen bombs. He'll just walk in and take over while the rest of us are taking our pulse. "Who's doing this," I cried (says Miss Robb), "The United States. Russia, China or Fu Manchuria?" it it ir Good old Max Shulman has in vented the neatest form letter of the week. He's sent all eds of col lege papers which run his ciga rette column nicely typed notes which don't ask the journalists to buy anything. "I'm sending you a copy of my Flag, Boys," which Doubleday al lowed to get off the presses. Local book reviewers say the novel about love and missiles isn't up to par with the Shulman humor. But at any rate it's nice to get some thing for nothing once in a while. Oh, the form letter? What made it exceptional was the fact that I could feel the dots and letters on the back of the page which mad it seem just like a letter from home.
