Faith, Zeal
Needed
Klolsche
One's education is not com
plete unless some faith in
ideas and principles is com
bined with a zeal for truth,
Dr. J. Martin Klotsche, pro
vost of the University of Wis
consin, said Tuesday morning
at the annual University
Honors Convocation.
Dr. Klotsche, a former Ne
braskan, maintained that
"the first obligation of an edu
cated person is to acquire
skills and habits of construc
tive and critical thinking."
lint he added, "The mere
search for truth is not enough.
An educated person is also
one possessed of a sincerity
of purpose and a concern over
value."
Observing that een an or
derly mind can leave a per
son uncertain about the pur
pose of life, Dr. Klotsche
pointed out that the basic
problems faced today are mor
al.
"A measure of belief must
accompany knowledge, for a
scientific account of the uni
verse while accurate as far
as it goes is yet inadequate
and incomplete."
Unsafe Pattern
Dr. Klotsche, who received
his master's degree from the
University in 1923 and taught
at Dorchester High School,
cautioned about permitting re

ulate it "for the Soviet sys
tem is not a safe pattern for
us to follow."
He also advised against
questioning the fundamental
assumptions of the American
educational system, saying
a proper comparison between
the United States and Soviet
oUnion would not be between
the extent and scope of sci
entific education and techno
logical advance, but between
free institutions, and a sys-1
tern of totalitarianism.
"Our system is pre-eminently
superior in providing an
education worthy and befit

600 Students Feted
At Honors Assembly
Dr. Thomas M. Raysor, professor of English, and Dr.
Lawrence K. Crowe, professor of dairy husbandry, were hon
ored Tuesday morning as the 1958 recipients of the Univer
sity of Nebraska Foundation awards for distinguished
teaching.
The awards, each consisting of a $1,000 stipend and a
medalion, were presented at the 30th annual University of
Nebraska Honors Convocation by W. W. Putney of Lincoln,
T1 .1 . : n. : i .
More than 600 students from
the top 10 ner cent of the un
dergraduate and professional
colleges of the University
were also honored at the Con
vocation. A complete list of
the award winners and stu
dent honor list will appear in
Wednesday Daily Nebraskan.
Dr. Raysor received his
award for distinguished teach
ing in humanities and social
sciences, and Dr. Crowe in
sciences and technology.
No Prize
In presenting the yearly
awards, Mr. Putney said: that
"the awards are not given as
a prize. Teaching is not a con
test. They are presented to
staff members who. in the
opinion of the University's
special selection committee,
reflect the competence, the de
votion, the character, and the
inspiring qualities held by all
distinguished teachers."
.Prof. Raysor, who has
served the University 28
years, is considered one A
the world's foremost authori
ties on English critic and poet
Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
A notice of Texas, Prof.
j Uavsor is the author of "Col-
eridge's Shakespearan Critl
cism," "Coleridge's Miscel
laneous- Criticism," and part
author of "English Romantic
Poets," a critical study spon
sored by the Modern Lan
guage Assn.
Fellowships
He has held the Sheldon fel
lowship from Harvard, post
doctoral fellowship from
Johns Hopkins, Guggenheim
Fellowship and Woods fellow
ship from the University of
Nebraska.
Prof. Crowe has been a
member of the University
staff since 1925. He has been a
Junior Division adviser, spon
sor of Varsity Dairy Club, fac
ulty representative of Ag Re
ligious Council, fraternity ad
viser for Alpha Gamma Sigma
and chairman of the Universi
ty Wesley Foundation.
Dr. Crowe has taken an ac
tive interest in the Nebraska
dairy industry on a state
wide basis and has served as
a consultant wun many
j groups on sanitary aspects of
dairy problems.
In nominating Dr. Crowe for
the award, his colleagues
said: "He has maintained a
critical attitude toward his
students' accomplishments,
not being satisfied with less
than the "best, but tolerant of
mistakes beyond control or
mistakes not made too often.
He has maintained a hearty
laugh and a sense of humor,
but at no time willing to sacri
fice principles for the sake of
popularity."

However, the bulk of
KUON-TV's production work
ers are University students
with an interest in television
who work at the station on a
volunteer basis. These s t u
dents, some 40 in number,
handle nearly all heavy jobs
other than directing in Chan

The University tele
vision station, which used the
facilities of KOLN-TV for tel
ecasting from 1954 until last
September, went on the air
during the evening hours for
the first time Nov. 4 of last
year.
