MSflgP Says State Must
By ANDA ANDERSON
"Nebraska must pay the
-Piper, or put up with the
rats," saidDrTJames E, Mil-,
ler Jr., director of the Eng
lish department.
Dr. Miller made the state
ment Tuesday speaking as a
panel member for a sympo
sium, "The Future Shape of
the University," sponsored by
the local chapter of the
American Association of Uni
v e r s i t y Professors. Also
speaking was Dr. Ray G. Hol
ly, dean of the Graduate Col
lege and University research
administrator.
Dr. Miller paralleled Rob
ert Burns' poem about the
Pied Piper to Nebraska.
"I like to think of the Piper
as the teachers, the music as
education, and the rats as ig
norance and illiteracy."
Poses Question
The question he posed from
this comparison is whether
IFC Committee
Says No Hazing
"Times change and cultures
change, and a fraternity
pledge training program must
change, too," said Bill Buck
ley, Interfratermty Council
(IFC) secretary, Wednesday
in a special report by the IFC
pledge training committee.
Speaking to some 90 frater
nity presidents, pledge train
ers and other officers, Buck
ley said, "A man comes to
college to get an education;
anything that interferes with
that education has to go."
Quoting from the nation?!
president of Sigma Nu frater
nity, Buckley noted that the
fraternity will live on. "If
they (fraternities) die, how
ever, they will die at then
own hands suicide."
Calling for purpose and
goals in fraternity life, Buck
ley emphasized that the day
is gone when hazing or other
pledge activities can be jus
tified "because it (hazing)
was done to me, and to my
brother before me and to his
brother before him."
Such a pledge training pro
gram must recognize the dif
ference between today's high-!
ly independent youth and
those of thirty years ago,!
while retaining the ideals of
gracious living, character de
velopment and scholastic
achievement
Suggesting a cohesive and
organized pledge training pro
gram. John Zeilinger, mem
ber of the pledge training
committee, suggested innova
tions in the program:
"Make greater use of New
Student Week in making the
transition from high school to
college life less severe, ex
tensively interviewing the
pledge and explaining to him
fraternity roles and life.
"Elect the pledge trainer on
the basis of his leadership,
scholarship and maturity, not
his popularity.
"But most important of all,
develop a pre-planned pro
gram over the summer
months," concluded Zeilinger,
"giving the pledge training
committee jurisdiction over
the active chapter."
In a special report on fra
ternity scholarship, chairman
Dennis Christie said that "all
the facts and charts point to
one thing: the fraternity sys
tem must pledge the major
ity of their men from the up
per one-fourth of their grad
uating class."
Eighty-six per cent of the
men graduating from the
third quarter of fjeir high
school classes wUl not earn a
SJ average or better, pointed
out Christie.
And 94 per cent of the men
graduating in the lowest quar
ter of their high school
classes will not earn a 50 or
better.
"However," Christie said,
quoting University statistics
of a 1958-59 study, "69 per
cent of the men in the upper
quarter of their graduating

Both lectures will be held
In the Love Library auditori

Nebraska will lose its chil
dren rather than pay the
price to keep them here.
. "The University of the fu-
ture will not prepare students
to fill jobs but will rather
have them participate crea
tively in tne wnoie society.
He predicted that high-time
commercialized athletics will
decline as professional teams
develop. "University athletics
will concentrate on develop
ing the individual in partici
pation rather than spectator
sports.
Federal Aid
Discussing federal aid, Dr,
Miller pointed out that at
present, federal support is 80
per cent of the budget of
many great private univer
sities such as Chicago Uni
versity.
The question, he said, is
how is federal support now
shaping education policy by
classes will make a 5.0 or
better."
In other business, the Inter-

contributed greatly to the sus

ships among dairy interests.
Nibler joined the Univer

structor in dairy husbandry.
Later, he served as a county

AUF Wants
Permission
For Auction
All University Fund (AUF)
in conjunction with its fall
drive, has proposed to the
faculty committee on Student
Affairs that thev be allowed
to have an auction and car
nival. The event would help
publicize the AUF drive, raise
money for the AUF charities
and take the place of the
Pancake Feed.
The approved sections com
mittee will allow the organi
zation to hold a special event
in conjunction with the drive.
The event would include a
Mortar Board and Innocent
skit and a Mr. AUFul UGLY
contest. It would be held in
the Student Union ballroom,
the M&N building. Grant Me
morial or the Men's PE.
The main objections of the
committee to allowing AUF to
reorganize such an event
were essentially the same as
those which caused the
event to be abandoned. They
were (1) freshmen would be
too burdened, since the event
is at the same time as Home
coming, (2) the auction would
be a financial burden if or
ganized like it used to be
some groups spent as much
as $250 to bnv one pledge
class to do some little task,
(3) the carnival would be a
financial burden if the vari
ous houses made the booths
and outfitted the participants
with costumes and (4) inade
quate room to handle students
if the attendance would be as
large as it had been.
Limitations that were sug
gested to help eliminate these
problems were (1) have only
individual bidding which
would dispose of a few bid
ding for a group, (2) no auc
tion of social groups which
would dispense with social
group competition, (3) no con
test as to who has the best
booth, (4) AUF workers would
do the work instead of fresh
men pledge classes and (5)
place a limit on how much a
house can spend on the event.
Roger Meyer, president of
AUF, stated that the Pancake
Feed made only $35 and that
the whole AUF program col
lected $5,000. In 1955-56, AUF
collected $11,000. He said that
the organization would be sat
isfied if it made $400 from
the carnival-auction. He indi
cated that the events would
surely bring AUF before the
people.
