presidency in 1960.
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.
Almost without exception the
student Democrat interviewed pos
sessed a deep concern with the
way the President is handling such
problems as Southern segregation,
agriculture price supports, the
guided missile program, and for

er did have much faith in Ike,"
and went on to brand him as "a
complete do-nothing." "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."
One GOP-minded student had
tered the contest sponsored by
the Engineering Executive
Board and the Nebraska Blue
print. Each of the women's or

at a session of the National Con- j

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

ments.

The Faculty Liaison Committee,
in its forthcoming report of the
Faculty Senate, recommends that
the Mitchell case be "considered
closed."
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 ;

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.

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.
