The University of Maryland Is another
once-powerful football school at has be
come disgruntled with its athletic pro
gram. But a lot of the criticism has been di
rected not towards the
coaching staff, but to
wards the president of
the University, Wilson H.
(Tex) Elkins.
Reporting on the situa
tion, Newsweek said that
Maryland's decline from a
perennial Eastern football
power to that of a medio
cre team has been due to
Elkins' drastic change in
academic standards to offset the over
emphasis on athletics which nearly cost
the school its scholastic accreditation five
years ago.
Elkins stepped In then for Harry C.
(Curly) Byrd who retired to try for the
Maryland governor's post In the first year
of operation under an Elkins' plan requir
ing a student earn Junior standing in five
semesters, 1,300 students more than
twice as many as ever before were
dropped from the school's rolls.
This year the team won only three
games and signs were spray-painted over
campus walks, reading: -"Tex Go Home."
But the former University of Texas grid
letterman doesn't seem about to change
his plan.
The University of Nebraska situation
may or may not be parallel to that at
Maryland. In the five football seasons that
By Carroll Kraus
Nebraska has played while Clifford Hardin
has been Chancellor, the record has stood
at 19 wins and 32 losses. Three football
coaches have held the reins at NU in that
period; a new athletic director was se
lected the same year the University got its
new Chancellor.
The five preceding years were little bet
ter, however, with the Huskers winning 19,
losing 25 and tying four. The five years in
cluded two winning ones, including the 6-2-1
record in 1950 when Bobby Reynolds
made All American honors, however.
Maryland, like the University, apparent
ly isn't a "rich" school. Scholastic stan
dards have to be maintained, and if li
braries and teachers are deemed more im
portant than stadiums and coaches, then
the student body has no legal beef towards
a school's administration.
A university's function is still to provide
the student an education a good one for
the money and time he's paying with.
Maryland and its president have realized
this and paid with a losing football team.
That's why the Daily Nebraskan has
been highly in favor of the Extra Point
Club. The University can get only so much
money to carry on its scholastic, building
and athletic programs. If Nebraska wants
a winning team, the people of the state
and students will have to dig a little deep
er in their pockets.
What one Maryland coed had to say
seems to sum up the situation: "My di
ploma isn't going to have Maryland's win
and loss record printed on it, and an em
ployer isn't going to look for that, either."

A Few Words of a Kind
. . . e. e. Junes
And therefore, I, William Bradford (by
the grace of God to-day,
And the franchise of this good people),
governor of Plymouth, say
Through virtue of vested power ye
shall gather with one accord,
And hold in the month of November,
thanksgiving unto the Lord.
(The First Thanksgiving Day. Margaret Junk in Pros urn)
e.e.
For two hours I have stuck paper in
typewriter, pounded out a few words, then
ripped the paper out of the machine and
started all over again. It's like the scene
in the movies where the handsome young
actor is playing up and
coming author or play-
wriEht. The only difier- s..
ence is that I feel more
like and a down and going
columnist.
What I've been trying
to do is to say a few
words of thanksgiving. I
find it difficult. It is diffi
cult because it seems that
I have been raised during
a period in which patriotic poems and
hymns of praise are out of style. If you
say you love your mother you are sus
pected of an oedipus complex, and, if you
like to tell anecdotes of your battles with
the world at age six you are a doting
sentimentalist destined to early senility.
But, anyway, hero are a few of the
things I am thankful for:
America a land of myth and material
that holds more mysteries than anyone
could unravel in a thousand lifetimes.
Nebraska a state that's cold in winter,
hot in summer, doesn't have towering
mountains or sandy beaches but has been
the setting for the first few minutes of
strutting fretting in my hour-long life.
Smiles from people I meet on the
streets who don't know me and whose
identity I shall never know . . . from per
sons I've spoken oat to in anger, but who
have refused to be bothered by my petty
sputterings . . . from friends who are
glad for this or that thing in my life.
Books that have taken me off to a new
land of fancy or thought.
Chairs that have been comfortable to
sit, sprawl and sleep in.
My family who were the first limits of
my world . . . who have shared good and
bad with me, much of which is forgottea
by all of us . . . who are a part of con
scious and unconscious me every moment
of my life whether they stand beside me
or a thousand miles away.
Teachers whose guidance played a
major role in my early, early years.
Music including songs that have never
sounded right when echoed by my mono
tone voice that must resemble the noise
of a due-to-be-retired tugboat pushing
through fog.
Teammates especially the ones on bas
ketball teams at the Y who never yelled
that I shot too much.
Successes none very big, but which
help you to feel that somehow your life
isn't a complete waste.
Failures which have helped me learn
that you can't have everything, even some
things which you "work for like blazes"
and "want more than anything else in the
world."
Enemies who make me evaluate my
conduct.
Friends who do and don't put up with
my silly habits and ideas, who give my
life expanded dimensions of experience.
Sermons that tell about a God more
concerned with love than damnation.
Tears that are never to be spilled in
public.
Stubbed toes that remind me of moral
ity. A loved one who worries about my
stubbed toes, and whose presence more
often than not turns me into a grinning
schoolboy who can't and doesn't care to
see any face but the one which owns a pair
of brown eyes like but unlike any others
possessed by anyone else's loved one.
Radiators in winter that I can lean on
and burn my coat on.
A million other persons and things
many who and which my forgetful mind
will thoughtlessly never say thanks to or
feel thankful for.

Monday morning was par
ticularly foul and to amuseJ
myself while plodding to
class I counted the number
of camel little-boy coats plod

The total was
really quite

I saw 13 and
this was on
one side of
the sidewalk;
limiting my
tally onlv to
the specified camel .color (red
and navy didn't count); and
with my eyes only half open.
For the sake of science I
am going to conduct an in
tensive poll and find out ex
actly how many there are on
the campus. There should be
something very psychological
ly significant in this possibly
that we are a bunch of sheep
in camel colored coats. Khaki
raincoats no longer interest
me; the styles may be too
varied. This poll may be set
up with qualifications color
and drooping belt in back.
Possibly this will rank on a
par with Kinsey s research.
The possibilities are truly
unlimited.

professors are so cheery on
wet dreary days. I have been
told. They are happy o see
the students wet and cold and

The Kansas State Collegian
picked up this bit of campus
lore from the Cornell Daily
Sun.
An old army coat, an ob
servant counselor and some
cool weather were the combi
nation that resulted in a warm
clothing pool for foreign stu
dents. The counselor told the Cor
nell Sun he had noticed the
same old -brown army coat
showing up year after year on
different students.
"One winter the coat ap
peared on a friend of mine,"
he said. "I asked him where
he got it. He told me each
year a departing Philippine
student would leave the coat
in a friend's apartment and
tell another Philippine stu
dent where to find it."
And so the clothing pool
idea was formed. Now s t u
dents from warm countries
here in this country can draw
clothes from this pool. Their
only expense is in the form
of cleaning fees when they
return the clothes to the pool.

This whole business about
schools and professors brings
me- around to the matter of
the first foreign film. It was
a comedy dealing with a mot
ley crew of diabolical girls
who attended St. Trinians. It
was delightful.
The best way possible to
view a foreign film is to have
a box of Jujy Fruits and Jan

entirely synonymous but will
