Some disfavor towards Ike does exist in the rank and file mem bership of student Republicans. As one GOP advocate put it. "Ike plays a good game of golf." Another student Republican stat ed that he "didnt like what Ike did in the Middle East during the Suez crisis." However, the student went on to say that while he thought "Ike should have handled the incident with more discretion" be will continue to support .GOP candidates on both a state and national level.

"He's been built up as a big national hero but he hasn't done bird-diddily,' the student Democrat com mented. A large portion of the independent-minded student opinion can be summarized with this student's ob servation: "In 1960 if John Kennedy runs, I will definitely support him."

Gustafson Emphasizes Humanities Humanities should play a very i important part in the rush to em- j phasize sciences in high schools, j a fnrmpr TTrnvfri!v rhanrp11fr 1 r...u. -..- r.. 1... u at a session of the National Con- j ference on the American High Schools held in Washington, D. C. ' Gustafson said that humanities j help man formulate sound and re- j alistic judgments with respect to ; obtaining -freedom and security, liberty and justice. "In basic science, the great stim ulus is curiosity, the desire to know for the sake of knowing," he said. "But you would protect man kind from harm by education, by increasing his allegiance to that which is good, by establishing bet ter government, to make possible a better world. You are now in humanities. You are making valid judgments." He said the only way people can be taught the value of making judgments is through humanities and that people certailny need to ho, tT make better judg- ments.

The report comes after over a year of hearings, deliberations and ' slnHv hv thA PnmmittAA nn ' demic Privilege and Tenure which has been conducting an investiga tion into reports that Dr. C. Clyde Mitchell's academic freedom had been adbridged. Mitchell was relieved of his post as chairman of the Department of Agricultural Economics while on leave of absense in Italy in the spring of 1956. Mitchell cited "out side pressure" as the reason he was relieved. The original report of the Aca demic Privilege Committee sup ported three of eight charges by Dr. Mitchell that his academic freedom was abridged. The Fac ulty Senate subsequently directed the Liaison Committee to make recommendations. This report by the liaison group points out the action of the Com mittee on Academic Privilege in its June report recommended no specific action. The Liaison Com mittee, too, recommends no spe cific action against any Univer sity official. The report of the liai son group said that it felt that to make such recommendations "would not be consistent with. . . (its) functions." A minority report by Professors Allan A x e 1 r o d and Clifford Hicks, disagreed with parts of the committee decision. They recom-j mended that the report be for- j mulated in such a way as to per-1 mit the Senate to express effective- J ly 'the "sense of toe faculty" in ; Pep Rally An imaginary Jay Hank will be burned in effigy at the Home coming pep rally Friday.

Flu Cases Increase Slightly The number of flu cases has in creased slightly since Monday when it seemed that the incidence of flu was tapering off after a flare up last week. Dr. Fuenning, Studen Health Center Director, reported that as of Tuesday a total of 142 cases of fhi were known to be on camp us, with 21 of the cases in the Health Center. This was an in crease over Monday's figures of 126 total cases with 17 cases in Student Health. Extra nurses are still employed by the Health Center, and, ac cording to Dr. Fuenning, they will probably be retained for the re mainder of the school year in case of a second or third wave of the flu. No additional supplies of flu vac cine are available at present, Dr. Fuenning said. University High, closed on Tues day because of a high incidence of flu, is to re-open Thursday. On Monday, twenty-five per cent of the 265 students were absent be cause of the flu. Any student becoming ill should go to bed after reporting to his or her Health Director. The Health Directors have been in formed of the proper steps to take, Dr. Fuenning said. 4-H Retake A retake of the University 4-H Club Cornhusker picture has been announced by Joan Norris. president.

' STATE Displayed Although a dabbler In art since he was eight, Housten said that he has only taken three hours of art study at the University and that he is presently majoring in Business Administration. He add ed, however, that he does plan to take two years study in commer cial art after he receives bis bus iness administration degree. Housten said he started thinking about his art work as a source of income last spring when he was attempting to get some money for a trip to New Orleans. "I sold a couple of paintings to some guys in the bouse and that gave me the idea that I might be able to pick up a little more if I tried." He hasn't completed any new sketches this fall but has done some caricatures and watercolor drawings. A print of his ink draw ing, "What A Party." was an es pecially big attention getter. It was a grand scale drawing of a huge outdoor party with ironic and sub tle irregularities inter spersed throughout the sketch which provided good material for humor and smiles.
