for graduate students is the
psychological Clinic.
This clinic sees people
(only one to two per cent
University people, according
to Dr. Marshall Jones, direc
tor of the Clinic) who have
problems of varied sorts.
"Some come in because
they have heard of the Clinic
and its services and some
are referred to us by Stu
dent Health, instructors or
other counselors," Dr. Jones
said.
The psychiatric clinic, on
the other hand, handles 150
students a year, Dr. William
Brill, chief of mental hy
giene, estimated.
Dr. Brill said that most of
the cases, self-referrals and
those sent by other sources,
are average students.
Problems Varied
"They may be nervous,
have headaches or not be
able to sleep," Dr. Brill said.
"External stress on internal
resources causes the student
to seek some help."
"The clinic functions with
in a medical setting with the
service of finished experts,"
Dr. Brill explained. .
Diagnoses are free; but
there are charges for pre
scriptions and pills.
"Whether you call it coun
seling, advising or psycho
therapy," Dr. Brill said,
"they are all ways of help
ing people."
Dr. William E. Hall, pro
fessor of educational p s y
chology, described the coun
seling offered to Teachers
College freshmen since 1947.
Students Counsel
Outstanding juniors,
"people who have success
fully adapted to college life,"
are selected to orient Teach
ers College freshmen the fol
lowing year.
"We feel that anyone who
has made the best of college
for himself is in a position
to help others," Dr. Hall said.
The counselors encourage
freshmen to try interesting
activities that they might not
have done otherwise.
"As well " as academic
ally," Dr. Hall noted, "we
want the undergraduate to de
velop intellectually, crea
tively and socially.
A similar service is Coed
Counselors for freshmen
women. Coed Counselor-sponsored
activities early in the
school year help open doors
to college life.
Pittenger: Ulcerless Diplomat

cordial, and the parade moved off on
schedule.
But the memory of feeling like a first
class fool remains vivid in Pittenger's
mind.
Stickler For Detail
In evaluating Pittenger's abilities, Vern
Scofield, a long-time associate, observed,
"I've never known anybody who could
match him for always acting with the long
range picture in mind and yet be such a
stickler for detail."
Scofield, who manages the Nebraska
Press Association, added, "I'm a' chronic
worrier, always checking people to whom
I've given assignments to make sure the
work will be done on time. Never with
Pitt; tell him what you want, when you
want it, and then you can forget the
matter."
This mania for detail is invaluable to a
man whose primary job is to explain the
University of Nebraska position in a man
ner acceptable to all parties involved in
a disagreement.
He and Sgt. Joe Friday of "Dragnet"
are equally zealous at getting "Just the
facts, Ma'am." A complete investigation
precedes action. Because it's facts you
must have when you tell a parent his
child is not telling the truth. And it takes
facts plus persuasive sincerity to correct
University errors and to provide an ac
ceptable explanation for the errors.
Pittenger explains it this way: "We can't
always get parents (or faculty, or alumni,
or legislators) to agree with our decisions
or our reasoning, but we always try to get
them to agree with our motives."
Referee Plus
His responsibilities surge far beyond
the duties of a referee in disputes.
He is appointment secretary for the
Chancellor and makes arrangements for
the latter's trips.
He supervises arrangements for special
campus events such as convocations and
commencements.
He wrestles with the ever-growing
campus parking problem and oversees the
campus police force.
He serves as liaison agent between the
Chancellor's office and the multiple ad
ministrative arms of the University.
Pittenger also handles requests for in
formation from members of the Univers
ity's 6-man Board of Regents.
And during legislative years, his political
experience is put to work explaining the
University's budget request to the present
crop of solorw. In this area he shares re
sponsibility with the Chancellor and with
George Round, director of public relations
for the University.
Total these assignments, and you have
a demanding position that requires a
multitude of talents sound judgment, a
disarming and confidence-winning person
ality and a slavish devotion to detail, to
name only a few.
By any measurement Pittenger is well
qualified for the job.
War Training
At one time or another during World
War II, he served as "personal" executive
officer for Maj. Gen. Frederick L. Ander
son of the 8th Air Force, for Gen. Henry
H. (Hap) Arnold, chief of the Army Air
Corps, and Ambassador Robert D.
Muiphy, chief civil affairs officer on the
staff of the Supreme Commander.
Pittenger's role with General Anderson
was later featured in the book and film
"Command Decision."
Although he was a major, Pittenger was
depicted by Author William Haines as a
staff sergeant with, the uncanny ability of
always being able to find a bottle of bour
bon at the right time.
But it took much more than bourbon to
wash down the irritations, pricks at pride,
and differences of opinion that result when
you attempt to mesh the air arms of many
nations into a smoothly co-ordinated strik
ing force. Keeping allied air staffs happy
and at peace with each other was Pit
tenger's main job.
Pittenger was Air Corps hosts at an all
service planning conference in England
to map out details for the D-Day strike.
On another occasion, he chaperoned the
King and Queen of England at an Air
Corps celebration to honor the first B-17
Flying Fortress to complete- 50 combat
missions over German-occupied territory.
As a result of his wartime experience,
Pittenger is at ease in the presence of high
brass. If need be, he can still produce that
bottle of bourbon at the right time and at
the right place; however, today his own
glass will be filled with a soft drink.
Career Problems
Denied a permanent Air Corps commis
sion because of his weight, hospitalized
for a year and a half with a paralysis of
the lower part of the body resulting from
an air crash, Pittenger's post-war career
appeared anything but promising in 1947.
Home on hospital leave, he was visiting
with some acquaintances in his father's
clothing store in Albion one Saturday
night.
'What do you plan to do, Pitt?" he was
asked.
He jokingly replied, "I think I'll go down
to Lincoln and become secretary to the
Governor."
Two days later, one of the men in the
' group called and said, "I hope you weren't
joking about that job because I have just
arranged a meeting for you with the Gov
ernor." Two weeks later Pittenger's ap
pointment was announced. He spent the
next four years as assistant to Governor
Val Peterson.
Frank Marsh, Nebraska's secretary of
state, died early in 1951 in his 9th term
of office, and Pittenger was named to suc
ced him. Two years later Pittenger was
defeated in the Republican primary by
Marsh's son, who still holds the position.
It was while serving as a "lame duck"
that Pittenger attached himself to the Ei
senhower campaign for what he considers
his "most exciting days in politics." High
light of this experience was the campaign
finale which he staged in Boston Gardens
on the eve of the 1952 election.
Stayed in Nebraska
Following the Eisenhower victory, Pit
tenger passed up a political job in Wash
ington in favor of remaining in Nebraska.
He was named secretary of the University
of Nebraska Alumni Association in 1953, a
position he held until joining the Chan
cellor's staff two years later.
Pittenger is married and the father of
three children. The family, which resides
at 2835 Jackson Drive, also includes a
black Cocker Spaniel and a Dachshund.
When Pittenger can get away from Lin
coln, he most frequently heads for fishing
country. Otherwise, he can normally be
found working with his stamp collection.
Either way, he's close to a telephone,
. ready to respond to any S.O.S. summons
from the University.

selected papers from the cur
rent Conference on Asian Af
fairs. In the fiscal year 1960-61,
25 to 30 books will be pub
lished by the UNP, according
to Nicoll.
Selecting a munscript for
publication is not always a
simple matter, he said.
Preliminary decisions
ahou incoming manuscripts
are made by the editorial
staff. Virginia Faulkner, edi
tor, Amy Mitchell and Ruth
Prange.
Butt they aren't the only
ones to read manuscripts.,
The UNP has a board of ad
visory editors consisting of
Dr. James C. Olson' of the
history department, Dr. Wil
liam Aeschbacher, director of
the State Historical Society,
Dr. Marshall Jones of the
Psychology Department and
Professors Karl Shapiro and
lish Department.
Additional Reviews
The manuscript is sent to
one, or two of these persons
for consideration. If it is to
be seriously considered for
publication, the UNP sends
the manuscript to off-campus
experts for review.
In evaluating manuscripts,
1 the editors consider:
What has the author tried
to do?
How well has he done i'?
Was it worth doing?
After a manuscript has
been been accepted for pub
lication by the UNP, it takes
just 16 weeks to get it into
the printed form, Nicoll said.
The University of Nebraska
Press does more than print
manuscripts.
For Author, Money
The sales potential of each
book is fully exploited. Some
books are sold by direct mail
circulation, some by adver
tising in professional jour
nals, and some by advertise
ments in newspaper and
magzines.
Authors are paid standard
royalty rates.
the UNP does not accept
contributions from authors to
be applied against the cost of
publication. But funds from
the Ford Foundation's pro
grams for supporting publi
cation of scholarly works in
the humanities and social
sciences and from other
sources whose aims coincide
with the aims of the Univer
sity Press are accepted.
