Statistics compiled by the uni versity news and feature office re veal that there are representatives from thirty-six states in all, with in the ranks of the student body. Iowa leads the procession exclusive of Nebraska with the most stu dents, and Kansas holds second place. The neighboring states of Missouri, Wyoming, and South Da kota have about the same number of representatives, and Colorado completes the list of the six most prominent states supplying stu dents to the university. The others are scattered from Vermont and New York to Texas. California, and Washington. Oregon is an other contributor from the Pacific northwest, while Louisiana is one of the southern states represented. Ten countries and territories other than the United States have student delegates. In the order of remoteness. thy are Persia, Ger many, Maui, Philippines, Hawaii, Ireland, Canal Zone. Dutch West Indies, Porto Rico, and Canada. The last dominion mentioned, due to its nearness, holds the honor of matriculating more students than any of the other forpign territories mentioned. With the exception of four, all counties of Nebraska have stu dents in the university, and Lin coln leads the cities of the state with Omaha in second place. By CoHese News Service. LOS ANGELES. A widespread movement to supress alleged radi cal and communistic activities in American colleges and universities was under way this week as a di rect result of the recent suspension of four student officers and a coed at the University of California at Los Angeles. The movement began on the Los Angeles campus when an esti mated 1.200 students banded to gether to form the "U. C. L. A. Americans" in an "organized ef fort to further Americanism and rid the University of California at Los Aneeles of communistic or radical activities." Impetus was given the student "crusade" when Provost Ernest C. Moore charged that the campus was "a hotbed of radicalism" after suspending the five students John Burnside, student body presi dent: Thomas Lambert, Mendel Lieberman, Sidney Zaagri and Celeste Strack. The allegation, however, brought a reply in the form of a "round robin" letter signed by approximately 100 U. C. L. A. faculty members, who ad dressed their communication to Dr. Robert Gordon Sproul, presi dent of the university. The latter arrived on the campus from his regular office in Berkeley to con duct an investigation. The letter, made public by Presi dent Sproul, declared: "Our experience does not lead us to believe that there is suffici ent radical agitation on our cam pus materially to effect either the student body or the university as a whole. We deplore the impres- I sion should be corrected. "We wish especially to express our full confidence in the common sense, high character and patri otism of our student body and our conviction that it stands among the highest in these qualities in the country." Meanwhile, requests that the student antiradical movement be made national in scope came to U. C. L. A. from student leaders at the University of Southern Cali fornia, Stanford university. Colum bia university, the University of Minnesota, the University of Ne vada, the University of Washing ton and other institutions. Formation of a national organ ization built around the U. C. L. A. group was discussed in many quar ters. Explaining the aims of the movement, John McElheney, chair man of the U. C. L. A. organiza tion, stated: "We recognize that all young people are idealistic and impres sionable. In view of this, the U. C. L. A. Americans dedicates itself to the task of opposing any and all effects to divert the thoughts and ideals of the University of Cali fornia at Los Angeles students from constructive, sound and American channels." SAN MATEO. Calif Efforts of four University of California stu dents to promote a statewide col lege "strike" in protest against the recent suspension of five stu dents at the University of Cali- fornia at Los Angeles last week was frustrated here when the stu- take advantage of the opportunity to learn something interesting and here-to-fore unknown about the language which they speak. Displayed first is a picture of tne most ancient written record in the world, the Send inscription, dated about 4,000 B. C. The origi nal is preserved in the Ashmolean museum at Oxford, and the picture ana illustration given are from McMurtcie's Golden Book. Picture writing preceded writing with symbols," stated Clara Louise Craig, reference librarian who is responsible for the exhibit, "and examples of carvings on stone or bone dated back to the Paleolithic age." Animals were pictured most frequently and as letters were der ived from hieroglyphics so were hieroglyphics copied from animal and vegitable forms familiar to our remote ancestors. Cuneiform writing, which was the next development, made use of an imperishable material, baked clay upon which their records and thoughts are expressed. These tablets were usually quadrangular In form, varied in thickness, and varied from nine by fifteen inches to one by one and one-half inches. One of these original clay tab lets from a Babylonian temple record dating back 2.000 years is in possession of the library. It is, according to Miss Craig, the most outstading of the exhibits. It was obtained for the library by Edgar J. Banks, field director of a recent Babylonian expedition sent out from the University of Chicago. "A reproduction in facsimile of the finest book extant in the Brit ish museum is another outstanding display," Misa Craig said. It is a funeral papyrus containing a series of chapters from the passage of souls of Ani and his wife to the abodes of bliss. The papyrus, which was found in Egypt in 1888 has been edited by E. A. T. Wallis Budge. Examples of skillfully drawn Maya inscriptions dated from the Christian era and written on deer skin parchment show the next step in language development. The finding of these enables Egyptolo gists to recover history and much of the literature of the ancient Egyptians which for centuries has been unknown. Our alphabet has also derived much from the Phoenicians. Hence its genealogy may be said to be as follows: Egyptian hieroglyphics, Sinai script, Old Semitic, South Semitic, Phoenician, Greek, and Latin. Runic, the oldest of the Ger manic writings, is also shown in sample display. It too had an in fluence on the development of our alphabet. CONTINUE FIGHTS! 1NG CONIES! Competition to Remain Open Indefinitely, Society Announces. Entries in the Innocents fight srtnir font put lire still nomine- in and the contest will probably be left open for some considerable time, according to Jack Fischer, chairman of the song committee. Scheduled to close on two different occasions, the deadline has twice been extended to accommodate those wishing additionar time to work on compositions. "Although the contest has been open for more than a monin, Fischer said, "we are still receiv ing new entries and additional re quests for information almost daily. The Innocents society now feels that it originally failed to al lot enough time for people to pre pare thpir entries. We will now hold the contest open until we arc sure that we have the greatest possible number of songs from which to select Nebraska's new song. "What we want," Fischer con tinued, "is a song like Notre Dame's Victoty March, Southern California's "Fight On," or "On Wisconsin." Anyone is thrilled when they hear one of those good songs. We are too late to send a new song off to a flying start in this year's grid campaign, but we intend to have it ready for a great Cornhusker team next year. A $20 prize has been offered by the society for the winning tune in the contest. Galsnorthy First Among Authors for College Students dent speakers were greeted by a barrage of over-ripe tomatoes. It was their second such shower in a week, having met with similar circumstances on their home cam pus at Berkeley when they at tempted to make an appeal to the U. C. students for support of the suspended Los Angeles undergrad uates. One of the agitators was a girl. Miss Ruth Moore, graduate student. STANFORD UNIVERSITY. College men that "throw eggs at women" were ridiculed last week by Will Rogers, jr., student at Stanford university, when he caus tically criticized the recent egg throwing incident at the Univer sity of California at Berkeley. in a letter to the Stanford Daily, student newspaper, he said: "What kind of men do they have at California, where they throw eggs at women? And with the football players looking on too. With such manhood, it is no won der their team has been beaten so much." Rogers referred to the melee which occured when several stu dents staged a protest meeting on the Berkeley campus flaying U. C. Li. a. officials for suspending the five students accused of radical activity. SAN JOSE, Calif. "Take com munists to the edge of the campus and drop them off" was the invi tation extended students of San Jose State college this week by President T. W. MacOuarrie. The offer followed on the heels of the expulsion of Ed Horton, editor of the student newspaper, wno was assertedly removed be cause of insubordination and cause he refused to print what the lacuity wanted him to." the summer surveying camp at Ashland this summer proved to be very interesting, a special fan dance act given by Franklin Meyer creating much laughter. Many un suspecting engineers were snapped by the camera. The society also held a short business meeting at which plans were outlined to begin a member ship drive.
