Elias Speaks
On Russia's
Development
Declearing that Russian com
munism has come along way from
what it was immediately after the
revolution in 1917, and is very
near to a democracy today, Prof.
M. K. Elias, former instructor at
the University of Leningrad, spoke
before a meeting of the student
chapter of the Society of Amer
ican Military Engineers last night.
There is a great field for devel
opment in the Russia Turkastan
region which is comparable to the
Nebraska and Kansas area, Elias
said. He has worked there for
several years.
Communists will recognize the
church after this war, the speaker
predicted. In this war the church
has already given $100,000 to the
government to aid the war effort.

Written about the turn of the

testant by winning third place.
Both Wisser and Miss Mattoon
have been members of the fresh
men debate squad and have com
peted in state high school tourna
ments. Nine contestants tried out for
the trophy. Each debater gave

United Nations should establish a
permanent Federal Union."
Seven minute tryout speeches

War Group Holds
'V9 Jam Session
Victorv Jamboree, an all out
evening of fun, will be held to
morrow night from 10 to 12 in the
Union 'ballroom. Sponsored by the
War Council for the purpose of
increasing university war stamp
purchases, the Victory Jamboree
will feature door prizes, dancing
and games of chance.
A free telephone call to any
service man stationed in the
United States will be given to the
winner of the first door prize. The
telephone call will be donated by
cited Mr. Seaton. "We have not
received any coal for the past few
months, which is due not to the
rationing program but to mine
strikes and labor shortage, and
had it not been for our summer
purchases we would be out," he
continued.
Although not feeling any short
age as yet, university officials
have taken steps toward reducing
the fuel consumption. Night
classes have been consolidated to
only a few buildings on the cam
pus, thereby eliminating heating
entire buildings for the purpose of
holding one or two classes. Sev
eral other steps could be taken for
reducing consumption without ne
cessitating low room temperature,
Mr. Seaton announced.

show, a Hit or Miss
and the Daily Nebraskan of the
air will be presented following the
interviews on this "public forum"
program, a regular feature of
