Friday, February 19, 1960 Pcge 2 Nebroskan .: f .A Editorial Comment: France Joins Atomic Racefor Good or Bad It's bow official France has an atomic bomb. The Western Allies may stand cp and cheer the French development, but before they feel secure at having a fourth mem ber and a third partner in the unclear arms race, perhaps they should watch the French nation a little more closely. Already President Charles de Gaulle has said that French atomic information is available to Russia and that it should not be kept secret from a friend, the United States. De Gaulle has the aim of gaining full membership for his nation on atomic coun cils. And apparently the release of infor mation on the French atomic experiment ing will be given only if France does join the United States and Britain on these boards. . Bill so far French claims to atomic knowledge have been based on a single explosion in the Sahara Desert last week. So the question arises: Does France Freshman Game Could Have Used Belter Scheduling Congratulations to the Busker fresh man basketball team on hauling down its second win in as many eatings,. The freshman cagers beat McCook Jun ior College 61-52 Wednesday night. Bat there weren't many people there to see the fresh in action. First of all, the event was scheduled for a Wednesday night, right in the middle of the academic week. And., admission was charged, too; 59 cents for students and fl for adults. The alhMac department probably can use the money but certainly didn't clear much from the meager turnout for the game,. More important to the freshman players wfcaald have been a larger crowd cheering for them. They would have had the crowd, had the game beea scheduled before a regular varsity bom game;" paying game viewers would have had an epportanity to see tw good fijacfrgfhaTI contests instead of the varsity game phis a preliminary of some what less Merest We know yon cant always get what yon want when scheduling athletic treats. hare the know-how to warrant equal-member status on such councils? And if so, will de Gaulle favor sharing the informa tion equally with Russia as well as Great Britain and the United Slates? A first attempt to answer these questions was to occur this week when two mem bers of the French Atomic Energy Com mission discuss atomic secrets in Wash ington with U.S. officials. With the addition of another big power possessing atomic weapon knowledge, it also appears that there is an increased possibility of world war. The internal in stability of France adds to the threat Egyptian premier Nasser disapproved of the explosion of the first French atomic weapon on Arab soil in Algeria; student demonstrations resulted in Damascus. It may be that this arms control for na tions will conflict before it is able to bring about a more secure, perhaps a la,sting peace. But on the other hand, perhaps atomic weapons will be the tool, the common ground of interest that will make France cooperate more readily with NATO in the future. Such would be proposition. a more encouraging Men in Selleck Should Choose Their Own Paths The squabble between "Independents and "independents in Selleck Quadrangle seems to be a little nonsensicaL The HAM Council apparently is worried about the "do-ncrthing' attitude of those termed "independents; apparently the "iMependenls' are concerned that they should be attacked for holding their con cepts of dormitory living. Dorms traditionally hare the widest range of character types and interests. Trying to mold all of them into somewhat of an organized group w never work. Many dependents' would have joined or attempted to join fraternities if they had desired organization, serial events, etc It is hardly likely they will change their views mcrw, after several years in the dorm. The same concepts win never be shared by al the many inhabitants of Selleck. Staff Com ment Balm and Sasre Si- ' ,.t v - ) Probate Eejcae! Tm back at the typewriter.

The latest move is a step m the right direction, but the quetUioB of whether EOTC should be compulsory is still being skipped over. CoL Rawie of the Army, guest on Y"our University Speaks," said recently that be is in favor of a rather "drastic change in the program, consisting of three phases. - He mould substitute academic subjects, at has partially beea done, inclading Eng lish, psychology and science courses necessary fw f fleers; increase the sum mer cam to nine w eeks instead of six, with these camps indnding instrncfiei ia iwrcu rate weaponry, geograpuy, tac tics, logistics, etc; and pvstgradaate work ia the above nulxtary subjects at a smite school. This, CoL Hawk points at, would re duce to a unmiiTitmj the inililary atmos phere cm campus, besides cutting down on military personnel assigned to the cam pus. However, pay for advanced students would be no longer under this program. These are .excellent suggestions. Coupled with the elimination of any com pulsion, the program would be vastly improved.

One cant be sure which students need more help. ALT welcomes both sug gestions aud criticisms. It is our duty to investigate all aspects of charity and to fcelp the individual rec ognize his obligation to his fellow man. However, AIT does stand far "aD university." AIT nly suggests and presents ew ideas. The final ded sions are left to the stu dents' discrefjoi throngs, the charity poll in the falL The question is this: could ALT finance a for eign student? We must con sider the pros and cons. L ALT already gives to foreign students through World University Service. (Perhaps we could increase our contiibution in this area.) 2. There is a problem in selecting a person who is both worthy and needy. 3. The United States does need to strengthen foreign relations, and better under standing is gained through foreign leaders with first hand knowledge of our way of Me. Some suggestions have been offered to aid foreign students: 1. To have the State Leg islature reduce the $24 se mester tuition required of foreign students. 2. To have the University lower the 6 average re quired for scholarships in upper division. For the Heck of It Practically every text bock on American educa tion contains a section dis cussing the tremendous increase in students in American schools, the pro jected increases to come and the hopeless and grow ing inadequacy of the teach ing profession to quantita tively meet these needs. Not only is the ccrrent ratio of teachers college graduates to new students wholly inadequate, but the long-run trend shows a de cline in the percentage of persons selecting teaching for a profession. Still, scarcely aay of the modera texts are willing to snggest any measures to partially alleviate this sita atkn. It is apparent, to even the casual observer of the prob lem that in order to meet the teacher requirements in the future and sffll provide satisfactory and improving standards ef education that the American system of ed ucation needs a drastic ad ministrative overhaul. It seems to me that the first change to be made should be the elimination of the local edtotalraial sys tem that predominates ia the nation. Under our cur rent system, education is primarily 5a the hands off inept local school districts scattered throughout the stales in varying number1 ranging frm 17 in Wyo ming to mre ft 3,SM in Nebraska dby far the worst offender in the natal." This result r myriad a Embers ef rufl. ineffi cient schools, partkmlarty at Qte secondary level, which provide ia most in stances a poor CErrk cliuB, too broad and heavy a workload for teachers and little experienced guidance from the Ben-profetsiona! people who set local school policy. By re-raiionaliring the administrative aspects of the American school sys tem and placing schools under slate beards of edu cation, many of our worst education problems could be at least partially solved. - First, by consolidation fewer but larger and better staffed schools could pro vide a greater variety and better standards of educa tion. Second, by uniform taxa tion and appropriation, ani fenn expenditures for edn ratkia eaald be made across the state, probably at aa overall saving. Third, by placing school administration and policy under state control, educa tion would become more dependent cn professional rather than amateur lead ership; education policies would become more uni form and consistent; and teachers, superintendents and other professional peo ple in education would be removed from tine detri mental interference of lo cal pressure groups. Lastly, the state depart ments of education would be more capable f effi ciently ctaliang federal aid to education funds which wfll become more and more important for American ed ucational advancement and the provision of incentives to prospective teachers. Perhaps if teachers were respwssible to s t a t e-ap-pointed eCfkials ratker than torai superintendents in tarn refpwktibie to local school boards, some of the prestige aad states that American educators lack coxld be returned. This in turn might pro vide the nation with mor competent teaichers.. C e r tainly, for most stales, sal ary scales for nine months" work are mot the prime factor in Enaking careers in teaching lundesirabje. By Ileecht 3. To have AUF finance one foreign student. AUF has been given a suggestion; it is now for the students to discuss and decide through letters and participation in the fall poll. GAIL SDION Vice president of Publicity AH Universiiy Fund Not Do-Nothing To the Editor: In reference to a recent letter by Tom Eason, RAM Council president, directed to all the residents of Sel leck Quadrangle, we, the undersigned, firmly believe that Sellect exists for the purpose of providing the male student with a place to study, sleep and "eat" only. If we had desired an or ganized social program, a fraternity would have been the solution. However, since this was not the case, Selleck Quad remained as the only residence available for the following reasons: L Incoming freshmen are required to live in organ ized, approved housing. .. 2. Those students who are not freshmen are hampered in their search for other, more satisfactory housing by the inconveniences of time and distance. Is a student required to meet RAM CoimdLinstitat ed obligations which are not ia his contract? Per haps Mr. Eason should take another look at the contract which all residents are required to sign before he complains of the re luctance to pay "boose" dues or enter into organized social functions. The little Ts" that Tom Eason refers to are net do nothings! They are rabid participants in toe line art" of getting an educa tion. Lloyd J. Hoppner Donald R. Robisoa Richard L. Marsh Defend ROTC To the Editor: In reference to a letter written by a Mr. J. L Murphy criticizing the ad vanced ROTC units, we are inclined to disagree with him. While we are not juniors, but only basic freshman cadets in the Army and Air Force, we are subject to similar inspections by our commanding officers, t and we feel that the stand-' ards of inspection are fair and just. The ROTC courses pre pare yocng men to become leaders and train them so they will be better prepared to defend the freedom and sovereignty of our great country, those who have had the initiative and de . sire to enter the advanced courses should be consid ered as having the ability to become leaders. Mr. Murphy has made the unwarranted accusation that all cadet officers are unpopular with their fellow students, which we know for a fact is not true. In closing we feel that Mr. J. L. Murphy has made a very unfair and unethical accusation con- ceraing the advanced ROTC units.. Cadet H. Martin Swan, Army Cadet Jerry H.
