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.

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.

Therefore, ray n!y comment is that

The latest move is a step m the right

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,

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.

ALT Charity
To the Editor:
We agree with you thor
oughly that education
needs a boost through schol
arships both here ami in
foreign countries. 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.

AUF has been given a
suggestion; it is now for
the students to discuss and
decide through letters

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

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..
