Predicted High Enrollment
Is Cause For Concern
, Now that classes have begun and most of the full
time students have had the opportunty to get a real pic
ture of the large volume of student traffic, the possibility
of an increased enrollment may not seem as remote as
perhaps it did a week ago.
Although not all classrooms appear to be terribly
overcrowded after a single day of class, traffic In the
buildings on campus Indicates that final enrollment tabu
lations will show a definite increase.
If w may take this opportunity to gaze into our
crystal ball, with quotes from the recent Glenny report
in hand, we forecast that our enrollment will never be
any smaller than it Is today.
Last spring the Glenny Report pleaded a strong end
convincing argument saying that our undergraduate en
rollment totals would easily double within the next ten
years. If the recent registration follows expectations, It
is a safe bet that we are well on our way towards meet
ing and perhaps exceeding the predicted mark.
Although 10 years may seem like an eternity at first
glance, it is actually a very small space of time to pre
pare for the onslaught of students.
Where will they go to class? Where will they eat!
Where will they stay? But more important, how win a
University struggling to operate for the next two years
be able to realistically plan for such a startling future?
Add to this depressing situation the low pay scale of
our present faculty in comparison to national averages
and one may toon see the ominous problem this Univer
sity faces today.
To a state which is engrossed in the battle to raise
its economy by bringing more industry to Nebraska, for
example, we urge that every Nebraskan who has any
bright hopes for not only this institution, but the state
in the future, to consider our situation.
We do not imply that this University is on the verge
of a complete collapse not by a long shot. However,
we do imply that we need to look beyond our noses and
consider tomorrow.

Wake Up Freshmen; ,.
Time To Hit The Books
An entirely new world has been opened to the incom
ing freshman class as they enter their second day of
classes. To some the transition from high school will be
slight hut for others it is a monumental challenge that -wiU
either make or break them.
Each college or university places a certain value
upon academic standards. The University of Nebraska is
no exception. At this institution a fairly high level of
accomplishment has been established which we a0 must
attain.
For some this standard (not necessarily a Tour or five
on the grading scale) will appear to be impossible to
achieve especially after the first assignments have been
announced. To others it will not seem so great.
Each freshman starts with a clean slate and an
equal opportunity to succeed. In four short weeks the
University wfll lose a certain number of freshmen who
simply could not adjust. We cannot say today which of
you win make the grade or who wfO not make it.
Eu?re a single student laughs when he thinks of bis
own possibility of falling by the wayside, we invite you
to take a serious inventory of your own situation and
environment
Were your grades in high school good? Passing?
Were your high school grades a fair indication of your
scholastic ability and achievement? Are you sincerely
interested in working for a college education? Do you
have enough time to study? Do you spend your time
studying? Are you studying correctly? Do you have the
facilities conducive to study? Do you ask questions in
class or do you merely allow the subject to pass over
your bead?
If you cannot answer three-fourths of the above
questions affirmatively then you wfll not be graduated
from this institution and the chances of completing a full
year of school are against you.
We do not intend to frighten you to the point of drop
ping out of school. If you did not have some chance of
succeeding you would never have been allowed to enroll.
However, we do ask you to see things as they reaDy are.
This University does not exist for the week-end parties,
the Greek system of sororities and fraternities, extra-curricular
activities or the football game next weekend. It
is here for your education which is your singly most im
portant excuse for living in Lincoln and spending your
parents' money.
The first time you feel you are slipping behind in
your school work and especially when you get a not-BO-good
test, theme or quiz grade, take time to ask yourself
some of the above questions before you blame the Uni
versity or your instructor.
It win not take long to single out the well-adjusted
student who finds a sense of accomplishment in his aca
demic studies and rounds out his college life with ath
letics, activities or part-time work. On the other hand
there wfll be those who win flounder through the first
eight weekB or first semester then disappear from cam
pus. Which wfll you be? The choice is yours.

men with

nation or ridicule or both.
But the statement wfll
be deeply pondered by
those who spend their en
ergies thinking, not wish
ing, for it is a lightning
flash of revelation about
Soviet calculations.
Khrushchev apparently
believes the Atlantic Al
liance is a sham that wiU
not stand up in any show
down, that it can be brok
en by a severe lest of
nerves. Be is saying that
these three Western states
are sources of strength to
Russia, not to the United
States. His reasoning be
hind the present Russian
policy of terror must in
clude this assessment of
Europe, and confirms the
impression of this writer,
for one, that bis terror
strategy is only secondar
ily directed against the
neutral countries.
He is not keenly con
cerned with the n o n
aligned nations because
be understands them,
if we do not or did not
until the revealing Bel
grade Conference.
He understands that
their role in the present
power context must be
negative. He knowB that
to speak of the "Eattle lor
the Uncommitted Nations"
in terms of "winning them
over" is to fool oneself. As
the sharpest British ob
server at Belgrade has put
it, the neutrals are uncon
cerned with the merits of
the specific issues be
tween the big powers,
seek only to avoid war,
will always put their ma
jor pressure for conces
sions against the side most
open to reasonable persua
sion the West and
will never voluntarily
throw in with either side,
whatever the other's
crimes, because non-alignment
is their only possible
position, an article of
faith, not a strategy. The
neutrals are where he
wants them for the time
being, and he feels safe
m assuming that no
amount of American aid,
cultural exchange, propa
ganda or appeals to jus
tice will budget .them.
No, his eyes and his
pressure are upon etr
central Alliance. But, one
may ask if he does nt
fear it, If he is so sure
the European bastions will
wither in the hot winds of
showdown, then why dues
he want it broken up?

fatal weakness to Ameri

that be fears the Ameri
can will and wants Ameri
can missiles and bombers
out of their European
bases, which is what
would happen if the Alli
ance began to crack.
It is impossible to fore
tell at what imaginable
point we shall bave proof,
not merely assumption,
that the Alliance will
hold. Evidence since t b e
terror pressures began as
to the true texture of the
popular wfll in the West is
mixed.
France has agreed to let
troops train with Ameri
can nuclear weapons in
Germany, but French
opinion polls indicate no
stomach for a showdown
over Berlin among ordi
nary people. Italy har not
moved a muscle se far as
I know. Canada and Bri
tain are adding a handful
more of troops. The Bri
tish press expresses indig
nation over the Russian
performance, some left
wing opinion Ik shak
en into second thoughts,
and the Trade Unions
Council no longer seeks
unilateral disarmament
for Britain. But there is
no move for a return to
conscription, and polls

" What "is being revealed by
Khrushchev's scalpel is
not only the human and
proper fear of nuclear
war, but the deep inroads
of years of consistent and
subtly conceived Soviet
propaganda.
Rarely has Soviet prop
panda attacked England,
France or Italy directly.
Consistently it has cen

has thus gradually, but
deeply and almost uncon

Staff View
Outside
Perhaps the best way to
alleviate any confusion
which may arise concern
ing the headline of this col
umn is to explain what I
had in mind when I knocked
out the title. In the first
place, the words, if re
versed come from a song
about a young boy who is
sitting inside "outlooking"
his window. His extreme
concentration on an object
in a tree outside caused him
to fall from the window and
break bis crown. I thought
that if I considered myself
in the tree looking in, I
would be so frightened by
the prospect of falling from
the tree that I would sit
quite still and simply and
calmly, if possible ) observe
what was happening inside,
in other words I would be
"inlooking."
With this bit of philosophi
cal thinking I will attempt
to apply to University life
in general which I feel may
effect the population of our
campus. However, bear in
mind thai an objective ap
proach to any subject varies
according to the persoi
making the interpretation so
I d not expect to meet
complete agreement with
other theories which may
exist concerning a specific
event.
There is a second reason
for the headline on this col
umn and that is the fact
that I am a senior. There
is something about being a
senior no matter how busy
r active you ire, that gives
you the slight feeling of be
ing on the outside looking
in. Sort of like standing on
the edge of a cliff knowing
that real soon yon are go
ing to be pushed over. I
feel that I am prepared f ra
the ""big push," however, as
I wfll .at least be equipped
with fhe parachute which is
almost a guarantee of a
safe landing. This parachute
is known more popularly in
society as a college educa
tion. The exact value of a col
lege diploma varies tremen
dously according to the
holder. T some it merely a
tool to the higher Income
brackets to others a meth
od, until just recently, of
avoiding Uncle Sam for a
few years. Then there are
those who consider It a
quick prelude to married
life or merely a way of
keeping occupied, pleasant
ly, fur a period of four
years or more.
But, in the midst of all
these, there are thoBe who
are genuinely interested in
a college education not for
the -diploma at all but for
the ixemendous lesson it
teache that knowledge is
endless, education never-

ceasing. It is these people
who leave NU as loyal
alums with a great appreci
arion for the lessons, both "
in class and out, which it
has givne them. These peo
ple never think of ceasing
to learn even after their
college career is history.
New students which are
yon? Do you really appreci
ate the opportunities which
this University offers you?
I hope that you d because
if you de not, a few years
hence you will leave this
school a much poorer per
son than when you entered.
On this note I fall from
the tree. But, seriously, if
you do get through the mobs
at Administration and get
your drops and adds
straightened out some time
this semester, do give col
lege a real try.
