We feel the school is being un

Alonj, this line, we leprint an
ctliforial from iie I iiiin.ui Horn
er: The new regulation allowing
unlimited cuts to those peions
attaining an acceptable average on
all their woi k at l'urman prior to
their junior vear is pet haps one
of the more progressive steps tak
en by the I'niversity in some- time.
To some members of the ad
ministration, it is a stepping stone
to telaxing an undesiied paternal
hold over the student bod v. Tor
vears students have cried longing
ly for more- responsibility. This is
the most advanced movement in
that direction vet.
Responsibility is a term often
misused. To some it means work,
haul woik, making of decisions,
and lack of sccuritv. To others it
means Ireedom from lestraint, a
challenge, a chance to use imag
ination. Whatever it means, the
new svstem is good good in the
lespect that it means i esponsibili
tv. the little t i hi of a student to do
what is best for him.
To have the ability to tccognie
and accept responsibility is a trait
unfamiliar to many college stu
dents. Manv abuse such freedom
. . . oiheis enjov it.
Although the new lobulation
a -v ill allect only a small portion of
the student body, it is hoped that
those allotted will not abuse the
piivilege. and thus allow a mote
relaxed svstem in the luture.
The addition of responsibility
to the l'urman curriculum is welcomed.
WISE AND OTHERWISE:
Rogue's Gallery
Of The Ingrate
Americana . . .
By Whit Whitfield
Only ' once in a generation do
truly great men like John Kasper
vnd (governor Orval Faubus arise
in American history. How fortun
ate can one country be?
To start our comments, let us
take John Rasper, self-styled Yan
kee rabble-rouser, and giant
among men. He is destined to go
down in history as one of the
truly great men of all time. There
can be no doubt about this. Words
do not come well enough to de
scribe this staunch defender of
"White Supremacy." and demago
gue of a thousand southern idiots
who follow him. And there must
be at least a thousand people in
the South who are that stupid, al
though Kasper and I both wonder
if there are really that manyi.
Just take a look at what he is
doing for the South. Not since the
days of the Civil War has the
South received so much publicity,
both nationally and internationally.
This is great for southern busi
ness. His tireless efforts in form
ing White Citizens Councils and
in bringing back the spirit of the
Ku Klux Klan arc a source of
wonder. Where does a man get
such strength? He is truly with
out peer in his realm of endeavor.
Word has it that he is being
considered for a Nobel Prize, but
we are inclined to believe that
a new category would have to be
added to include his kind.
Now let us praise another great
Governor Orval Faubus of
Arkansas. Few men have risen
from the oblivion of the executive
mansion of the State of Arkansas
to national prominence so rapid
ly and with so much publicity. As
a matter of fact, no one has.
His grandstand play was no
doubt used to garner him some
voters in the next gubernatorial
race. Little did he know that he
would almost have to get his state
to secede from the union and
declare war on the United Stales
to get out of this pinch. Now, what
wUl he do without his troops?
Capital publicity stunt I would
say. and darn good politics too.
lie did manage to save the True
South a bit of trouble however.
Now that he has lost out. our sis
ter southern states will be very
hesitant about seceding again. He
has probably helped us avert an
other Civil War.
That he has made the South look
more backward than ever is only
too evident. That he has given So
viet Russia a wealth of propogan
da to use against us is also too
evident. We do hope that he wins
back the voters which he pre
viously alienated, for it would
be ridiculous for him to lose the
next election after getting in all
of this mess, just to protect the
people of his state from "viol
ence.' And now the brave fool
is fighting for the rights of the
governor of a sovereign state and
states rights, neither of which
have existed since 1863. What a
brave man he is! How can we
help but admire him?
Much more could be said about
these two gentlemen, but space
will hardly permit. For that mat
ter, neither Mill the laws of propri-ety-or
the courts.

It lias been clarified that veter

We have lony; lelt that mature

FROM THE DAILY TEXAN:
Academic Freedom Is Stiffled?
Reverberrations From Texas
And so the Texas Tech incident
moves into another round with
blow-by-blow exchanges becoming
more and more heated.
Among the latest developments
are resolutions from j the Tech
faculty charging that the Tech
Board of Directors violated prin
ciples of academic freedom and
accreditation standards on facul
ty tenure in July when they ousted
three Tech professors Drs. Aber
ncthy, Grecnberg. and Stensland
in secret session wiihout hear
ing. Southern Association of College
and Secondary Schools has said it
will begin an investigation Sep
tember 23, and the American As
sociation of University Professors
has indicated it also may make
a probe.
Earlier, the Tech Board meet
ing August 17 a month after the
trouble first started, voting 3-1
again denied the professors an
open hearing.
No matter who is to . blame, it
is gratifying to see the concern
and sincere interest which has
been expressed from all parts of
the country from fellow profes
sors and educators and students,
from politicians and fanners and
businessmen all concerned when
violations of academic freedom
supposedly occur.
It would have been a sod day,
indeed, had their dismissal for rea
sons unstated been met with a
passive resistance from fear of
endangering job or position.
As from the start, there are
still too many unanswered ques
tions. Why weren't reasons given for
the ouster? The professors have
requested a public hearing, and it
would seem if only the trio's
teaching were involved and rea
sons for dismissals were well
founded, that only the professors
would stand to lose from such a
hearing.
The Lubbock newspaper openly
said that the removals resulted
from political and social pressure
Abernethy was a leader in the
Democrats of Texas, the liberal
wing of the Democratic Party,
and Grecnberg had publicly stated
he favored integration.
Other unofficial reasons have
come to the fore following an
informal meeting between the
three professors and two Board
officers:
1) Charges that Abernethy, for
mer regional director of the Wage
Stabilization Board, receives a
large outside income from work
as a mediator in labornanage
ment disputes.
2) Two petitions (signed by
about five Tech students asking
for the removal of Dr. Grecnberg.
3) Letters from students, alumni
and others critical of the profes
sor.
4 Abolution of the Adult Edu
cation Program 'and thus the
job of Dr. Per Stensland) as an
economy measure.
Influence of some of these rea
sons may be discredited and at
tributed to disgruntled students;
almost every professor has his
share.
Others have speculated, in the
case of Stensland, that the adult
program (sponsored by funds
from the Ford Foundation was
entirely too liberal for the Con
servative Board.
A less widely circulated reason
lias been advanced that the case
in some way involves the Tech
administration and the Board
wishes to save Tech's face.
Even then, it is hard to see how
a group of reasonable men, fully
aware of the consequences of their
action (possible loss of accredita
tion . could repeatedly deny the
right to public hearing if their
decision was made without haste
or prejudice d based on adequ
ate information.
Surely the name of Texas Tech
could not have had to suffer any
more in light of all the facts than
it has in the light of no facts.
We await the probe of the AA
UP and Association, and hope
that they may make headway to
Avard a workable solution to the
tangle which has been produced.
RANDOM RAMBLINGS:
Summerism And
WC Tee-Heeism
One of the more colorful expressions which I've
heard around this campus is usually said by'stu
dents"j ust before and just after a holiday, -weekend
or summer. The punctuation at the end de
pends on whether, it's before or after a lay-off from
"studies." Here it is: "
"Have a good summer?" said at the beginning
of the fall semester with a rising inflection and
a question mark at the end.
"HaTe a good summer." Said at the end of
school in May as you drive off in a convertible
headed for home with a descending note at the
end of the sentence and a period to denote either
a command or just a statement. I've never been
able to figure out if it is mandatory to have agood
summer or not.
"Have a good holiday," "Have a good weekend,"
with either question marks or periods after: them
are both equally colorful and quite useful at their
appropriate times. It saves much thinking on the
part of the greeter to have a ready-made greeting
to blurt out at the slightest provocation. None of
those old saying like, "Hi, how's it going?" for a
Carolina man.
I hate a friend who frowns on these greetings
about as much as I do, and so w henever we meet we
generally try to make up original and , colorful
salutations such as "Hot enough for you?", if it's
hot, and ,cWet enough for you?" if it's wet. and
other silly things like that. Anything to amuse
ourselves. .
My case rests as far as that is concerned.
There certainly were a flock of girls over from
Greensboro for the game. About five minutes be
fore game time, upwards to 20 busses come rollin'
through the gates by Woollen and parked down on
the intramural field and the women started pourin
mit of them liJce crazy. I was selling programs rath
er I was standing there with programs for sale,
when they came bounding off the busses, and I
ain't never seen such a crop in my life. Big ones,
fat ones, pretty ones, and some other kinds.
Most of them were having a little trouble with
their heels and everything, but on the whole, I was
duly impressed by the way they handled themselves.
One of the things I overheard:
"Which way is the woods?'' one giggling lady
said to her five young women companions, all of
whom were walking fast towards it.
"Oh, I mean which way to the stadium?"
"Tee, hee. tee, hee."
'Up in the woods, silly."
"Tee. hee. tee hee."'
Ah yes, it is another fine crop at old W C. this
year.
The football game didn't impress me too much
and neither did the cheerleaders, although one thing
I did notice; all the Carolina fans sem fo-be a
lot more willing and eager to cheer in the last
quarter, and by this time the cheerleaders are a'.
worn out and so is the team. Of course, all -we have
to do is sit up in the stands and drink, whereas
both the cheerleaders and the team have to exer
cise more than their elbow. If there was some way
we could all get together in the fourth quarter, the
games certainly would be more enjoyable.
The Card Section did its usual fine job except
for that one purple on row K which always kept
popping up.

Self-Styled Libs
Are Inconsistent
WASHINGTON "Book burning." interference
with free speech, censorship of radio and television
so that American history and old folksongs are in
accurately presented to the people all this goes on
in freedom-loving America nowadays without much
protest from the so-called "liberals" or their "civil
liberties" organizations.
Strange inconsistencies emerge. Thus, Senators
Humphrey of Minnesota and Douglas of Illinois.
Democrats, have joined in suggesting that President
Eisenhower should "personally take those colored
children by the hand and lead them into school"'
at Little Rock. Ark.
But did any of the so-called "liberals" ever
suggest or would they venture to recommend that
the President of the United States take worktngmen
by the hand and lead them into plants and factories
where their right to work a basic constitutional
right is denied them?
NOR HAS THE governor of any state .come
forth with such a solution for the problem created
when labor unionism does what Congress is for
bidden to do abridge the freedom of the press un
der the color of law. "Collective bargaining" rights
and picketing powers are, of course, derived from
federal law. Yet none of the so-called "liberals'
has risen to protest the closing down of newspaper
plants in many cities through the establishing of
picket lines which labor unions that are not them
selves parties to the dispute refuse to cross. This
is a concerted action that deprives many thousands
of workers of their opportunity and right to work
and just as effectually denies freedom of the press
3s if Congress had ordered it
The California Federation of Labor is so stirred
up over the Little Rock situation that it has just
urged impeachment of President Eisenhower for not
taking forceful action of some kind to get the
colored children into the high school in Little
Rock. But that same organization would hardly
favor any forceful measures to enable hDnest. law
abiding white or colored workingmen to enter a
plant when there's a strike.
FOR MANY YEARS now, the unions have de
nounced any use of the National Guard to protect
citizens in labor dispute. Yet today thre arr calls
f?r the government here to "federalize" the Na
tional Guard and u:e such tuv. to cr.fwice" desegregation.
