Page 2 EDITORIAL Thursday, November 29, 1962 MORTAR BOARDS . . . Reason for Being Seen Junior and senior women students at the University will have an excellent op portunity next Wednesday evening to find out the why's and how's of graduate ed ucation. For the second year Nebraska's chap ter of Mortar Boards will present a semi nar to acquaint junior and senior wom en with the opportunities available in grad uate fields of study. And for the second year the Mortar Boards will be serving the campus in a definite manner and filling a void long overlooked. On lower levels of the education al system great measures are taken to acquaint students with the advantages and methods of acquiring higher training and education. Most of us as high school juniors and seniors were bombarded by college representatives and literature con cerning the subject of why we should go to college instead of quitting school to make good money outside. Advisors and principles, friends and parents all were an influence on our coming on to college through their mature and 'realistic dis cussions concerning college. A big step, they would say, but one that can be eas ily made if you understand what a col lege is and what college life is like. They made us understand. This is the purpose of the graduate seminar which the Mortar Boards are sponsoring in conjunction with the Gradu ate College here at NU. Through this seminar University coeds will be able to clear up their doubts and questions con cerning a graduate education. Questions like "Is it really necessary?", "What use is it?", "How do you go about apply ing and to what schools?", and other questions concerning specific details: "How do you get accepted?", "What tests need be taken?", etc. The seminar win consist of a general talk by Dr. Roy Holly, dean of the Grad uate College, on how to become a gradu ate student. Then a panel of deans will answer and discuss any questions the students might ask concerning graduate study in general or in their particular field of interest. Following the panel dis cussion, the group will break down into small forums according to colleges for close and specific discussion about grad uate study and possibilities in specialized areas. The deans of the various colleges on campus will lead these small groups in their discussion and answer questions. The seminar which is open to junior and senior women is a fine step for any service organization to make; and, in particular, for Mortar Boards to initiate since they are an organization that is concerred with the promotion of good scholarship among women. In connection with their interest in promoting graduate study among women here at the University, Mortar Boards will announce at the seminar Wednesday the offering of a $300 fellowship for any University women planning on attending any one of the University's graduate schools next year. The fellowship is of fered to both undergraduates planning on attending graduate school at NU or any women graduate students planning on con tinuing her graduate study here. Through both of these services the graduate seminar and the $300 fellow ship for women show a sincere effort on the part of our Mortar Boards to ful fill their obligation to the University of promoting scholarship and furthering ed ucation. Too often both the Mortar Boards and Innocents Society never let the general public or student body know about the services they perform. Thus, most people do not understand why the two honoraries are called "service" or ganizations. Not wanting to overdo our comments on Mortar Boards, but they have initiat ed with funds left over from last year a fine financial aid program for foreign students (men or women) studying at the University. Emergency foreign student scholarship they call it. It is a $150 scholarship which the Foreign Student of fice will grant to any foreign student en rolled in the University (length of time not important) who shows a need for the money in order to continue his education. It is the finest type of scholarship that could be set up by any group or individual. Foreign students often need cash during a school year, which they are unable to acquire from normal sources. Many are forced to drop their training and education in this country be cause most scholarships have require ments as to how long the foreign stu dent has been going to the University and assurance of his scholastic qualifica tions. The awarding of the Mortar Board's $150 is contingent only upon need. The mystic Mortar Boards have dropped some of their mysticism in or der that we might see and appreciate the truly fine service they are doing. Supplementary Statenient Prof. Albert Schrekinger of the Grad uate School of Social Work recognized some of the adjustment problems of new foreign students at an American Univer sity at a meeting of the Nebraska In ternational Association. He suggested to these new students that they cope with some of these problems by getting to know American people and American cul ture. Each foreign student needs to de termine for himself what he can and what he cannot accept. Professor Schrek inger appealed to the new foreign stu dents to look not only for evidence of "rugged individualism," provincialism and prejudice, but to recognize the strength of the humanitarian tradition in American culture and to look at evidence of con cern for human welfare, world orienta tion, and open mindedness in a growing number of American people in our time. The University expresses its concern for the welfare of foreign students through its foreign student advisors. Professor Schrekinger encouraged foreign students who need help with personal problems to use the service of these advisors. ll f Coed Commandant Changes Opinion To the Editor: While serving as an en listed man in the U.S. Army, I had a very low opinion of BOTC officers. I see now, however, that more is being done than I was aware of to give cur future military lead ers the correct perspec tive on the true condition of our Armed Forces. I wish to applaud the decision to elect an Hon orary Commandant ((fe male type) to head our future warriors. I hope the members of the ROTC realize the full signifi cance of this act It is a token gesture giving rec ognition to the actual command power that presently runs our mili tary services. In the battalion in which I served in Europe, the chainof-command went like this: Colonel's wife makes a decision, brings it up at supper table, colonel's daughter (19) comments on it, the colo nel then brings the sug gestion up at the -staff meeting, the decision is delayed until the staff members have a chance to talk over the idea with their wives, the wives dis cuss it at a bridge meet ing and reach a final de cision. The husbands are told of the decision which is then accepted at a sec ond staff meeting. 1 must admit 1 was en tirely ignorant of the fact that this procedure was admitted so openly in our ROTC training programs. It was only after I had found out that the Honor ary Commandant was to be a woman that my ig norance was terminated. Hats off to this truth ful approach and to the officers (or their wives) who have wisely insti tuted its use? Sincerely yours, Eldridge Foster Dean Had Better Investigate Team To the Editor: The confments made by Don Ferguson on the sub rosas was most certainly a milestone in journal ism. I agree wholeheartedly with Don but I feel that Dean Ross is stiQ playing the end to the mean. Ross has gotten a few boys, several good ones, but the fact still remains that he is afraid to touch the foot ball team. It is a widely known fact over campus that half of our football team are also associated with this mess. Is Ross afraid to take action as he has done with the common student population or are football players immune from the hand of justice. Ross is no better than his word, if he is afraid to take ac tion, he's no better than having no dean at all. Favoritism is not the best way to run a school. I hope the Administration wakes up to this fact. A clean-up must be made a clean-up. No per son barred or no reason valid if the parties are guilty. Sincerely ytur, James Penny worth Graduate ((Editor's Note: Every one would agree with you . . . concerning the foot ball team and other or ganizations on campus. This is not enough. Proof is needed before action can be taken and names are needed before an in vestigation can begin. If you have names or proof, report them to Student Affairs.')

How many secrets the United States guards in its storehouses of secrets is itself a secret, but the current estimate is that the government holds around 3 billion classified documents. That works out to at least one secret for every person in the world, man, woman and babe in arms. There is something for everybody. If there is a problem here and there must be, because just storing all this hush-hush stuff costs around half a million dol lars a year) the govern ment might try solving it with some kind of Surplus Secrets Disposal Act. On the other hand, maybe the government ought not to try to share the bur den. Most of us common folks have trouble keeping only one secret. The Sun (Baltimore) GOING PLACES ... In a hurry?
