Vol. 33, No. 112 Attack Up for 'Trash9 Beutel Charges Student's Letter Is 'Tominyrot' By Marilyn Coffey "This is just trash," Fred erick Beutel, professor of law, said of statements Sen. Jack Romans of Ord said a law student had made about Bea ters classes. "It purports to be what some law student remem bered from a discussion that involved some 40 people over a period of nine months," Beutel said. "Even if it were true, so what?" he said. Asked about his alleged de fense of Harry Bridges, Beu tel said, "I did no such thing." Some of the statements are "fairly accurate if a per son understands the law in volved," the professor said. Others, he continued, are "out-and-out lies" and "tom- myrot." Asked about his stand on an investigation ot me hiring policies of the Univer sity's Law College, Beutel told the Nebraskan: "I, for one, would welcome such an investigation since I was responsible for establish ing the current hiring policy. have hired nearly half of the present faculty." Beutel was dean of Law Col lege when it was re-estab lished in 1946. The college had been temporarily closed because of the World War II. Morse Supports Prof. Bernstein "Much ado about noth ing," was the view of Sen. Wayne Morse, Democrat from Oregon, about the criticism of Merton Bern stein in the Legislature. Morse said that to set the record straight, it should be known that Bernstein "although not an ADA member when he acted in the capacity as my assis tant, served as my alter nate on the national board for ADA, and on many other committees of ADA whenever I was 'inable to attend a meeting," Such representation by a staff member, said Morse, is not uncommon and is necessary in the case of many ADA members who cannot attend all meetings. Morse had been ADA vice chairman since 1953, "and proud to be," he said. BUILDLNG WRECKING AND TOY REPAIR were only a few of the tasks undertaken by over 300 Nebraska fra ternity men Saturday for the IFC's annual Community Service Day. At left a minor wrecking job is undertaken on the old Student Health Building by Bernie Grossman (left) Mel Lewis, and Chuck Greenwald. Above, two Impromptu toy repairmen Denney Ellithorpe and Mike Casey find a basement full of toys in need of only a little fixing to put them in shape. Both projects shown were undertaken at the LARC school, one of seven points in or around Lincoln assisted by the IFC. The workers met at 8 a.m. on the Union steps for assignment to their various tasks by workday chairman Marty Sophir. The Daily on Law Professors Formal Disapproval Sen. J. W. Burbach, co-introducer of a legislative reso lution asking formal senatori al disapproval of recent charges against University faculty members, expressed confidence that the resolution would be adopted. Senatorial support of the resolution, expected to be brought up on the floor today, appears to be strong, the Crof ton senator said. Two Points The resolution states that in view of the amount of work the legislature has to do be fore adjournment, the major ity of the unicameral should go on record: 1. Against "unfounded In sinuations and charges of dis loyalty expressed in the legis Romans Says 'Liars Not Fit for Teachers' By George Mover "Anyone who lies is not fit to be teacher," state senator Jack Romans told the Daily Nebraskan- Fri day. "I'm not paying any at tention to his membership in any organization," the senator said, "But if the record shows he lied, then he shouldn't be teaching our young folks." Membership Denied Sen. Romans referred to Law College professor Mer lon Bernstein, who told the Legislature's Labor Com mittee that he had never been a member of the Americans for Democratic Action. "I never implied that membership in the ADA was a bad thing," Romans said. "Professor Bernstein wrote us a letter saying he had been a member of the ADA for a while some time ago, (1950) but that was wrong too. "If anyone wants to see the evidence on this, they can come down to the statehouse and I'll show them. It's right there in the record," Romans said. Name Mentioned He then produced a copy of the "ADA News" for April, 1958 in which Bern tioned as a member of an ADA committee. "I'm sure," he said, "that these men all have brilliant minds, and are tops in their fields, but ic i Hiring of Profs Mostly Responsibility of Deans How does a professor get hired at the University? Chancellor Clifford Hardin defined the procedure for the Daily Nebraskan in a Friday interview. Nebraskan lative chamber against Uni versity faculty members whose employment is the re sponsibility of the Board of Regents." 2. Reaffirming its "faith and confidence in the abilities and qualifications of the Chancel lor and the Board of Regents to operate the Unversity of Nebraska and to determine the qualifications of its facul ty." The measure was introduced In the legislature Friday by Sens. Burbach, Norman Otto of Kearney and Joe Vosoba of Wilber. The action followed another statement by Sen. Jack Ro mans cf Ord expressing his objections to the employment of Prof. Frederick Beutel and that's not the issue here. "We checked up on these men (Professors Bernstein, Beutel and Foote) and on their records," the 44-year-old Romans said. When asked who he meant by "we," he replied that it was himself and a group of Lincoln attorneys. 'Seen Before' "They aren't all young," he said. "They range in age from about 55 down to 30. "They've seen things like this before." Turning to other sub jects, Sen. Romans dis cussed his background. "You think the Univer sity is a fine place. Well, my daughter does too. She's coming up here next year when she graduates from high school," he said. Romans has four chil dren. There are two boys and two girls in the fam ily. The oldest boy helps in Romans' trucking busi ness. Politics Not New "We have about 25 trucks when a couple aren't laid up for repairs," he said. "I've been in the trucking business since 1939 when I started with my dad and brothers." The senator is alone in the business now. "Politics isn't a brand new thing with me either," he commented. "I've been in it on the local level for years. I ran for the legisla ture four years ago, but got beat." "The dean of the involved conducts a inary investigation college the professor he wishes to hire," the Chancellor said. "He asks the following general questions about the individual: "Is he a good citizen? "Is he a good teacher? "Will he be able to operate effectively in the University environment? "We never ask a man about his politics that's his affair. As long as he is a good citizen, we will support his rights to act as one," the chancellor said. After this preliminary in vestigation, the dean 'of the college for which the profes sor is going to teach gets to gether with the professor for a talk on terms. If the dean is satisfied and they reach an agreement on terms, a recommendation is made to the chancellor's office. "We examine the recom mendation and - submit it to the Board of Regents for approval," Hardin said.

Monday, May 18, 1959 the former employment ol Caleb Foote by the Law Col lege. Brooks' Comment Romans, who operates a truck line, also commented on Gov. Ralph Brooks' ear lier statement that Prof. Mer ton Bernstein "would make a very poor truck driver and by the same token, Romans would make a very poor professor of law." "The governor's comments ... arc an insult to all track drivers in this state," Romans told the legislature. "I think that a Nebraska truck driver knows more about the best interests of tha state than a law professor im ported a few months ago from Washington, D.C.," ha continued. No Denial "I have never denied I be long to the Nebraska Track Association for lack of me mory or any other reason," he commented. Bernstein, professor of law and former assistant to Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon, was a labor law specialist in Wash ington before coming to the University. He testified last month before the Labor and Public Welfare Committee that he had never been a member of the Americans for Democratic Action. In a later letter to the legislature, he said that "contrary to my recollection," he had belonged to ADA. Caleb Foote's "two convic tions cannot be shrugged off by the Chancellor as having been for refusal to violate his religious beliefs," Romans contended. . 'Objection No Crime' "Conscientious objection during World War II was not a crime," the senator said. "Many conscientious objectors showed their loyalty and com plied with the law by report ing for duty as conscientious objectors. "This is not the case with Prof. Foote. He was sentenced to six months and again for two years imprisonment for deliberate refusal to report as a conscientious objector. Such a man certainly should not be put on the government pay roll or in a position to influ ence our students," Romans continued. Foote, currently at the Uni versity or Pennsylvania, was a professor of law here from 1954 to 1956. "Nor," Romans told the senators, "can the chancellor justify Mr. Foote's presence at the Nebraska University by saying that Mr. Foote 'was cleared by a full presi dential pardon.' Pardons are often given as a matter of almost routine after a man has served his sentence. 'Rubber Stamped' "They are sometimes al most 'rubber stamp' affairs and merely restore civil rights. A pardon does not forgive or excuse or clear Mr. Foote of his crimes nor change his views on the duties of the loy al citizen," Romans said. Romans next spoke of Prof, Beutel, once dean of Law Col lege, now a member of tha law faculty. "A student In his class this year quotes him as having told his class, among other things, that he had never met a dangerous Communist and that he could not see that they posed a threat to our se curity," Romans said. "The student says Beutel has on at least three occa sions defended the notorious Harry Bridges and has ex- pressed-sympathy for the hard ships caused Bridges by cases . brought against him by the government," the senator con tinued. These statements and oth ers," he concluded, "cannot be excused by Mr. Beutel merely saying 'trash.' " Sen. Vosoba, co-introducer of Friday's resolution, told the Legislature that Romans' "whole campaign against the law professors is an insult to all the professors, an insult to the legislature and an in sult to the State of Nebraska." Baack ASCE Head Don Baack, Junior in civil engineering, was elected president for the coming year of the mid-continent confer ence of student chapters ot American Society of Civil Eiv glneers. '
