AG FIGHT:
Important Factors
According to E. F. Frolik, dean of the College of
Agriculture, the cancellation of Ag college projects aimed
at finding new uses for farm products and the cancella
tion of some $249,000 of research has caused the Univer
sity to lose two faculty members to other positions.
Also, seven technicians and four other faculty positions
were affected.
Dr. Herbert Kramer, director of the experiment sta
tion, said that the cutback had a damaging impact on
the University's research organization in stability of ten
ure and reputation.
Here are two examples, tangible and intangible, of
how state policies regarding the University may have
damaging results. In this case, however, after the fact
moaning and groaning is a waste of time unless supported
by that institution of which the Ag College is a part. Is
it necessary to say that that is the University o.' Nebras
ka located in Lincoln? It certainly is needless to say
what support Ag College has drawn openly, there has
been none. No students, no faculty, no administration.
One thing for sure, out-state individual,: are concerned
and are following the developments of this situation with
unabated interest. But, their fighting is not effective un
less they are here.
We can only hope that the fight for the Ag College
is yet to come, it will probably be next year before, during
and after elections.
By then the University will have had ample time to
take these, the most important factors, into considera
tion: why were these funds and projects cancelled; what
were the motives behind a move which has caused the
Ag College to lose faculty members and alter other posi
tions; why does somebody fail to see the importance of
Ag College research of the quality that has been done:
why does somebody fail to feel a loss as the stature of
the Ag College is damaged when it has been one of the
most dynamic University departments; just what are the
politics involved here?
If the University, at least Ag College, forces can de
termine the answers, they will have formidable matter
to throw in the State Department of Agriculture's lap.
JOURNALISM AND YOU:
ow To
When LIFE MAGAZINE first began publication its
directors faced this problem: whether to go for the mass
circulation or not.
In order to go for the mass they felt they would have
to "edit down" their material. They decided they didn't
know how to do that so figured they would have to be
satisfied with a relatively small circulation.
Today more than 30 million people read LIFE MAG
AZINE. There is more evidence than this that the intel
lectual level of the American public is on the rise. The
increment has shown up in a vast cultural boom
throughout the nation.
There are still problems, however. How does a news
paper, magazine, television or radio station judge this in
tellectual advance? At what point does their writing ad
fance to before they are going too fast for the public
that reads them? By staying behind the public level they
can endure. By rushing ahead too far, and losing the pub
lic, they can die.
Only time holds the answer because only experience
can determine it. The most helpful answers come from
you, the public.
The news media serves the pubic, but too often the
public fights it. Your cooperation is the door to better
journalism. Mutual patience is the key.

Age Barrier No Reason
To Ban Good Educators
By Arnie Garson
We spend our entire lives
learning. And it is through
what we have learned that
future generations will be
able to solve the mysteries
and puzzles which we can
not. And the longer each
one of us lives, the more he
or she will be able to pass
on to future generations.
Why then does the Univer
sity of Nebraska force the
men who are most capable
of teaching into retirement?
Some men at age 65 or 68
are no longer capable of or
interested in teaching. Vet
many others have stores of
information and experi
ences which could and
should be offered to students
of higher education.
The Board of Regents has
set the mandatory retire
ment age at 65. However,
according to that group's
bylaws, "When the best in
terests of the University
may be served," a faculty
member can be reappoint
ed on an annual basis for
three additional years.
So at age 68, when many
men are in a position to of
fer students the most in the
way of educational training,
background and experience,
the University puts them
out to pasture.
Enough good faculty
members leave the state for
more pay or greater oppor
tunities. Why must we also
force proven educators to
leave our fold? Until more
funds are available we can
not do anything about the
men who leave for financial

PROCEDURE AFTER
REMOVAL IN CIVIL
RIGHTS CASES
Sec. 901. Title 28 of the
United States Code, section
1447 (d), is amended to
read as follows:
"Art order remanding a
case to the State court
from which it was removed
is not reviewable on appeal
or otherwise, except that
an order remanding a case
to the State court from
which it was removed pur
suant to section 1443 of this

ESTABLISHMENT OF

RELATIONS SERVICE
Sec. 1001 (a) There is
hereby established in t h e
Department of Commerce a
Community Relations ser-
or research opportuni
ties. But it is entirely with
in the financial power of the
University to keep good men
on the staff past the age of,
68.
Many men have been
forced into retirement at the
University by this ruling.
Among them are Dr. Thom
as R a y s o r. a nationally
known authority on Shake
speare; Dr. James Rein
hardt, one of the foremost
criminologists of our time;
and this year Linus Burr
Smith, chairman of the De
partment of Architecture.
And there have been many
others who do not come im
mediately to mind.
True enough, there are
many men who should not
be teaching past the age of
65 or 68. But many should
be allowed to share their
vast store of knowledge with
the students. And students
deserve the best education
this state can offer. I there
fore cannot understand why
good men must be lost just
because they reach the age
barrier. They are often cap
able educators for many ad
ditional years.
Many Universities retain
this calibre of personnel for
an indefinite period as visit
ing lecturers on a year to
year basis. The University
could and should follow this
example. It would not only
be in the best interests of
the University and the stu
dent body, but in the best
interests of the State of Nebraska!

What with all the talk
that this is an election year
and all the concern for wiio
will ba each party's nom
inee for the Presidency,
comparatively little space
has been devoted to the of
fice of the vice-president.
This falls in line with the
history of the American
peoples' regard for the high
est office in the land and
their disregard of the sec
ond spot. For the most part
we have never paid much
attention to our vice-president,
and almost never do
you hear of anyone declin
ing to vote for a candidate
for the Presidency because
of his running mate.
This all seems rather
strange in light of the role
the vicc-p resident has
played since 1952. Beginn
ing with that date the Eis
enhower administration be
gan making major use ot
Dick Nixon. In general he
acted as trouble shooter for
the President. He sat in on
cabinet meetings and the
meetings of the top defense
councils of the nation. In
cluded in his job were se
veral overseas tours on be
half of the President and
the American nation.
Beoause Nixon was made
use of to such an extent the
American people began to
take notice of the office he
held. Some even ventured to
say that he had already
been running the govern
ment for eight years when
he ran for the Presidency
in 1S60.
The consideration of the
Bill
standing that it would be
so held. No officer or em
ployee of the Service shall
engage in the performance
of investigative or prosecu
ting functions of any De:
partrnent or agency in any
litigation arising out of a
dispute in which he acted
on behalf of the Service.
Sec. 1004. Subject to the

or before January 31 of each
year, submit to the Con
gress a report of the activi

SIscwIiere-
mark, two for
importance of his office
came to a head when Eis
enhower suffered his heart
attack. The question was
raised with regard to presi
dential succession and we
found that there was no
way to determine when the
President was incapacitat
ed enough to warrant t h e
Vice-president assuming the
duties of that office.
Ike improved and was re
elected and with that t h e
question died down again,
and little more regard was
given to the office of Vice
president. In the nominating conven
tions and the ensuing cam
paigns of the 1969 election,
however, the office of Vice
president seemed to be giv
en more consideration. On
the Republican side, most
felt that it was quite imper
ative that Dick Nixon have
the strongest possible run
ning mate. Henry Cabot
Lodge had been making
quite a name for himself in
the United Nations and was
being received popularly at
the time. He was a rather
natural choice and one that
pleased most voters.
From the Democratic
camp affairs were a little
less certain. There was
much talk that Bobby Ken
nedy was dissatisfied with
Johnson as his brother's
running mate. The results
of the convention had the
aura of having been under
taken not willingly but out
of the sheerest political ex
pediency.' With the election of Ken
nedy in 1960, the office of
Vice-president again seemed
to be relegated to a position
among a distinctly lower
echelon of functions.
"Who's Lyndon?" became
a rather typical New Fron
tier joke.
The situation soon
changed. When Lee Oswald
brutally assassinated Amer
ica's beloved President, Lyn
don Johnson as next in the
line of succession to JFK's
office was sworn in as
President. And the question
of the importance of the
Vice-presidency was again
raised. It seemed for a while
that the American peoples'
regard for the office was
deepened, that the dramat
ic events of November had
instilled in them a here-to-fore
unheard of respect for
the office.
in the light of all this it
seems rather strange that
so little has been heard
thus far as to who will be
the nominees for this office
in the elections of 1964.
The Democratic party
seemingly has numerous
possibilities none of whom
at the present time would
meet with serious objection
by party leaders, but also
none of whom are strong
enough to call forth ma
jority approval. Some of
these posibilitie are Rob
ert Kennedy, Hubert Hum
phrey, Adlai Stevenson, Sar
gent Shrivcr, and Governor
Brown.
There is much sympathy
for Bob Kennedy, although
he by no means has the
popularity of his late broth
er. Furthermore he would
have to run with Lyndon
Johnson of whom his ap
proval is somewhat dim.
Unless he should try some
spectacular move to obtain

the show . .
By Kenneth labor
the Presidential nomination
itself, I think that one can
fairly well bet against the
possibility of him being the
nominee for the second spot
without yet counting h I m
out of the race.
Hubert Humphrey may be
a popular choice. He is the
commander of Senatorial ci
vil rights forces and his
political fate may well be
decided by the progress the
bill has made by conven
tion time. It does not seem
as if Johnson would object
to running with an old sen
ate colleague whose ability
and viewpoint he respects
and admires.
Adlai Stevenson cannot be
counted out of the running.
His name has been kept be
fore the public as Ambas
sador to the United Nations.
He is a veteran of many
political scraps and though
not as popular as some,
much more respected than
most. His own personality
would offer a pleasant con
trast with Johnson's, and
appealing lo two different
personality types among
voters never hurts a ticket.
Shriver seems to be at
this time the strongest of the
possibilities. He has been
head of the Peace Corps and
is presently heading the ad
ministration's war against
poverty. This has first of
all given the public the op
portunity to keep his name
in mind. And seeing that a
good many Americans fav
or the Peace Corps and that
the war on poverty is too
young yet to have serious
problems, Shriver enters
the race without any
blemishes.
Governor Brown appears
as the weakest of the con
tenders. He holds impor
tant office and his name is
widely known, but his na
tional popularity is dubious.
The party knows that he
would be a risk. His only
chance would seem to be to
corner delegate strength.
Outside of any of the can
didates presently running
for first spot, the Repnbli
can party has two addition
all possibilities for its nom
ination. They are Thruston
Morton and Mark Hatfield.
College mock conventions
across the country have
leaned heavily toward Mor
ton assigning him to second
spot a majority of the time.
Further, it seems unlikely
that he would be undesir
able U any of the present
front runners. Mark Hat
field is Governor of Oregon,
no easy office to obtain and
and even harder to main
tain. He recently appeared
on nationwide TV on an in
terview with the press, all
of whose representatives
looked pretty silly when he
was through. He is a fresh
er face than Is Morton, but
whether that is an advant
age or disadvantage will be
known only when the nom
ination for the Presidency
reveals party strategy.
The question involved can
not be at this time who will
be the running mates. Much
will depend on the choice
of the nominee for the
Presidency. But we elect
people at the poles, and the
question is whether in the
1964 election we will be
aware that we elect a team
and not a man.
