'More and More Engineers
General Electric Eyes
Space Travel Experts
By Jacque Janecek
General Electric will hire
"more and more" engineers
in 1960 and will need those
who will specialize in space
travel design, its comptroller
told the Daily Nebraskan
Wednesday.
In an afternoon press con
ference, a University of Ne
braska graduate, Gerald L,
Phillippe, predicted the com
pany" would have a special
need for engineers with ad
vanced degrees.
Quality Improves
He also noted that GE stud
ies show curricula changes in
universities m the past five
years have helped ' to
improve the quality of engi
neering graduates.
Phillippe, who has been
comptroller for GE since 1953
and also serves as general
manager of the company's ac
counting services division, is
touring major Midwestern cit
ies this week.
His purpose is "to make
better communication with
employers and customers."
Fourteen other executive of
ficers of the company . are
making similar trips, he said.
The '32 graduate of the Uni
versity, who also received his
masters degree here in 1933,
also discussed the outlook for
1960, the effects of the steel
strike on prices and wages,
and the process of automa
tion. Phillippe predicted a "very
good" 1960, in spite of effects
of the steel strike.
Three Problems
But, three problems worry
him the upward pressure on
prices, higher government
spending and the lack of con
trol over it, and control over
union activities.
Asked what Americans
could do about the problems,
Phillippe urged them to in
form Congressmen about their
disapproval of continued
spending and to insist upon
more labor legislation.
"Recent labor legislation
is a step in the right direc
tion," he noted, but com
plained," It provides for crim
inal offenses and distribu
tion of union funds only. We
need to have more control
over unions."
Automation and increased
productivity are also major
problems worrying work
ers and employers alike, the
comptroller noted.
The question is, Phillipe
said," Who should get . the
profit resulting from the re
duction of production costs
and the increased output?"
He thinks wages and salar
ies in industry should be more
in response to supply and de
mand, not on productivity in
crease. Educate Workers
Phillippe also discussed the
effect of increased automa
tion on employment figures.
He said his company attempts
to educate workers to work in
other areas, but admitted that
in some cases "ultimately the
work force would be cut."
However, he thinks the ef
fects wili be so gradual that
workers will be absorbed in
other industry. He pointed out
the increase in production of
1 e i s u r e-time goods and
added," When cars were in
vented, people moaned about
what would happen to the
whole economy as a result.'
will be distributed to presi
dents of organized houses and
organizations.
- Attempt Fails
Ken Tempero, chairman of
the social committee, told the
Council that attempts to
change the punishment con
nected with University con
duct probation failed. He aft
nounced that further sugges-
tions for the improvement of
the- present probation policy
are welcome.
Rob Steinheider, represen
tative of Alpha Phi Ome
ga, appeared before the Coun
cil and acquainted them with
the work of the group's book
pool. ,
Steinheider told the Coun
cil the pool would take in
books Jan. 22, 23, 25 and
26 and would sell the books
Feb. 1-6.
Final examinations again
were prominent in Council
discussion. Don Gable, chair
man of the finals committee,
explained that the final exam
schedule had finals for morn
ing classes on consecutive
days due to a long range
program of the University.
The program is one which
is attempting to achieve an
equilibrium level of morning
and afternoon classes. This
"We've doubled production
in 10 years and will probably
do so again. I really can't
conceive twice as much pro
duction without having more
employees than we have
now," the comptroller said.
What about smaller busi
nesses? Can they hope to com
pete with better mechanized
big industry?
Phillippe thinks so.
"Smaller businesses will
have smaller computers, for
example," he said. "Automa
tion will move to them too."
Although GE isn't consider
ing starting any smaller
plants at present, Phillippe
said they have not aban
doned the i d e a. "We're
concentrating on cost reduc
tion now," he added.

is hoped to be achieved in a
period of 10 years.
Complex Operation
Gable pointed out that the
University couldn't make up
new schedules for every fr
nals period since it was such
a complex operation. He also
mentioned the desirability of
mis plan among faculty
members since they can plan
to attend out-state confer
ences by checking and calcu
lating when they will be done
with finals in future years.
He told the Council that
Registrar Floyd Hoover sug
gested the Council draw up
a final exam schedule and
submit it to the Faculty Sen-
ate committee on final exam
inations along with the sched
ule which is, submitted from
his office.
It was then moved and sec
onded that the Council final
exam committee draw up an
exam schedule for the fall
semester of 1960.
Chuck Wilson told the Coun
cil tnat exam schedules are
very complex and that a fea
sible schedule would be dif
ficult to devise by students
without any assistance. He
proposed a motion which
would have the Council and
those who make the finals
schedule in Administration
Hall work in conjunction to
try to avoid holding morning
class finals on consecutive
days.
New Business
In new business before the
Council, Bob K r o h n moved
that ' the Council elections
committee be instructed to
investigate the possibilities of
combining all elections, other
than special honors elections,
on the same day.
The motion would necessi
tate the election of officers
and organizations members
on the same day in a com
bined election. Organizations
involved in the incorporation
would toe those which require
Council election sponsorship.
Special honors elections,
which Include the Homecom
ing Queen election and other
similar elections, would be
excluded.
Don Epp suggested to the
Council that the manager of
the Regents Bookstore speak
to the Council concerning the
store's work in holding, down
book prices.

'Hitn Msses 9 Has Skits
From Yaks to Queens
Six sororities emerged vic
torious from the try-outs for
Coed Follies Tuesday night in
the Student Union ballroom.
Chosen were Alpha Chi
Omega, Kappa Alpha Theta,
Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta
Gamma, Pi Beta Phi and Al
pha Phi.
Kappa Alpha Theta tells
the "historical event" of the
fall of Humpty Dumpty
through the presentation of
the television program, "You
Were There". The scene is
Dumptyville. Skitmaster is
Barbara Anderson and assist
ant skitmaster is Susie Mat
thews. "A Yaktale" is the Alpha
Phi's Follies skit. Based on
the fact that Tibet's chief ex
ports are the tails of an ani
mal called a yak, the skit tells
of the confundment of the Ti
beian women who pack these
yaktails for exportation.
The termination of the skit
reveals that the yaktails are
used as Santa Clans beards
in Europe and the United
States. Joan Bailey is skit
master. A jab at the numerousness
of campus queens makes up
the plot of the Alpha Chi
Omega's skit, "Title Wave."
Three Houses
Three types of sorority
houses are represented:
sweet, sophisticate and all
round campus girls. Each of
the houses has nominated a
girl for "Miss Sixteenth
Street" and in the course of
the judging, it turns out that
the wives of the judges are
all sorority alums of the so
phisticate sorority whose
representative wins, s k i t
masters are Sherry Turner
and Shari West.
"Mooniversity" is the title
of Delta Gamma's skit, di
rected by Sharon Quinn. The
moon girls can't coordinate
themselves due to the ce::ter
of, gravity so they are forced
to take body mechanics.
Some of the moon charac
ters are Hannah, the moon-
monster, and a physical edu
cation teacher.
The Kappa Kappa Gamma
skit, "Madame President,"
directed by Mary Jane Koch,
is the story of the short-lived
term of a woman president.
No Agreement
As the president begins to
direct affairs of state she dis
covers the female cabinet
members and male congress
cannot agree.

critic and a Pulitzer Prize
winner.
He has written seven vol
umes of poetry and three
critiques including his most
recent work, "Poems of a
Jew," published last year.
Shapiro recently was asked
to write an article for the
New York Times expressing
his views on contemporary
poetry and criticism. The
request was a result of the
reaction to his review of a
volumn of Marianne Moore's
poetry.
In addition to the Pulitzer

children.

Anti-Semitism No Fad
Says Professor Koehl
Swastika PaintersNazi Tools
Splashing swastikas on Jew
ish homes, synagogues, fra
ternity and sorority houses
should bring severe punish
ment, a University history
professor and expert on Ger
many thinks.
"Sharp penalties at the very
beginning of the problem will
stop anti-Semitism. But heavy
publicity and shifting the
blame will do little good,"
says Dr. Richard Koehl.
He suggests expulsion for
any college student involved
in any demonstrations.
'Laughing View'
"If people believe it isn't
approved to be anti-Semitic,
they'll keep it down. But if
they think society doesn't deal
with the problem seriously,
they'll take a laughing view of
it," he added.
The history professor who
served as an interrogator of
German prisoners for Mili
tary Intelligence during World
War II, is in sharp disagree
ment with many international
church leaders, government
officials and social workers
who think the outbursts are a
uu.
American demonstrations
are "an excuse for people who
have always been anti-Semitic
and now want publicity," he
says.
He doesn't think the Ameri
can movements are part of an
international movement, and
he doesn't think German dem
onstrations are Communist-inspired
to discredit Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer's govern
ment. Nazism Alive?
"Nazi organizations still ex
ist, and this is their way of
showing Naziism is still
alive," Dr. Koehl says.
The reason the outbreaks
came at this particular time,

Prize that Shapiro received
in 1944, he has been awarded
the Jeannette S. Davis prize,
the Levinson and Contempo
rary Poetry prizes, American
Academy of Arts and Letters
Grant and the Shelley Me
morial prize. He also was
appointed a Fellow in Amer
ican Letters, Library of Con
gress. Shapiro's letter of nomina
tion acclaimed him as a na
tional figure but more impor
tant, as a figure of stature on
the University campus.

he thinks, is that it has been
15 years since Hitler's Nazi
forces were defeated. And it
was exactly 15 years after the
German defeat in World War
I that he came to power.
"The incidents are too well
co-ordinated to belive they are
accidental," says Dr. Koehl.
He says the youths who
started the Christmas-t i m e
outbursts in Cologne are
"tools" of the older order,
probably men in their 50's.
'Crackdown Needed'
Koehl thinks it is essential
for the West-Germany gov
ernment to "crack down and
not pass the buck to Commu
nism." If the West German govern
ment fails to crack down, the
next step will be personal at
tacks on Jews, Dr. Koehl
says.
Again urging severe penal
ties for American offenders,
Dr. Koehl seemed worried
that the anti-Semitism inci
dents will evolve much the
same as juvenile delinquency
in this country.
"As long as it's amusing
and if it is used for enter
tainment such as juvenile de
linquent movies, then it cant
be dealt with seriously," he
warns.
He also charged the press
with "a responsibility to re
port more than the bare facts
about the incidents," which
he says can incite many
more.
"Youngsters will love to go
painting swastikas like they
do stealing hub caps, and it
could go further and further,
unless they're punished," he
added.
Asked whether the younger
generation was as anti-Semitic
as their elders, the Har
vard graduate replied,
"There seems to be plenty of
anti-Semitism around."
