Results of the recent investigation of the student health service, conducted by a special Student Council committee, will soon be released. The Council committee is currently surveying and tabulating the opinions of the student body, as recorded in the questionnaires distributed last week through the organized houses. When the tabulation is complete, a comprehensive report will be drafted and submitted to the Council at its Wednesday meeting. What use the Council will make of the report is not definite, but pres ent plans call for giving it full publicity through The Nebraskan and the Lincoln papers and dispatching a copy of it to Chancellor Boucher. There is every indication that the Council's report will reveal that a majority of students are not satisfied with the present student health service, that a general house cleaning is in order. An incomplete sampling of results of the questionnaire indicates that more than half of the stu dents queried expressed dissatisfaction with their present health service. Chief criticisms recorded on the question naires thus far examined have been directed at the general inefficiency, unco-operative attitude and inadequate hous ing facilities of the service. Clear-thinking students will withhold their final judgment until the Council's report has been made pub lic. But if the report, as anticipated, reveals the need for sweeping reforms in the present student health set-up, the student body as a whole, through the Council, should take prompt, vigorous action to win these needed reforms. We Point With Pride . . . ... to the high honors which the University's debate squad carried away from the Northwestern University Discussion and Debate Conference in Evanston, 111., last week. Nebraska was the only participating school to place all four of its debaters on the honor, roll for discussion, Gerry McKinsey won first place in extemporaneous speaking and a highly superior rating in discussion, Tom Sorenson and Mary Ann Mattoon received superior rat ings in discussion and Bill Miller won a ranking of ex cellent. And to cap this impressive list of achievements, both UN debate teams went undefeated throughout the conference. More power to McKinsey, Mattoon, Sorenson, and Mil ler, and to Dr. LeRoy T. Laase, debate coach, whose ca pable direction contributed no little to the squad's im pressive showing at Northwestern. Les Said The Better By Les Glotfelty Once again it might be a good idea to read the front page before reading this col- umn on account a Decauae uc i has done itself proud. Gerry McKinsey, Mary Ann Mattoon, Bill Sorenson, and Bill Miller made the trip to Northwestern this week with two strikes against them. Just a few days before they were scheduled to leave here for the big city, they got word that the debate question they had. been working on all year had been tossed neatly out the window and an entirely different question substituted. All of which meant that they had darned little time to work up a case, get material, and generally prepare themselves. Mattoon and McKinsey, maybe Miller and Sorenson, too, left with the feel ing of lambs being led to the slaughter. The four debaters and their coacn, leroy T. Laase, have something to be proud of, for LETTERIP Vr Manpower Directive No. 1. Because of the critical manpower shortage in the essential industry of University Singers, owned and operated by Dr. A.

Peace Conference Previews BY PROF. NORMAN HILL. Probably the most numerous, contentious and puzzling of all the problems to be faced by the next peace conference will be those re lating to territory. The present controversy between Poland and Russia is but one of many to come up before the new peace treaty can be ready for diplomats to sign. In Europe there are de cisions to be made for the future of Italian Istria, Transylvania, Klagenfurt, the Southern Dobrud jata Northern Epirus, Teschen, the Sudetenland, parts of Macedonia and many other areas. In view of the fact that we are committed to the destruction of the Japanese empire, some disposition must be made of Manchuria, Korea, For mosa, the southern half of the Sakhalien Islands, the Kuriles, the Pescadores, the llonins and many small islands in the Pacific for merly mandated to Japan. No question will be more difficult to settle than the future territorial , status of Germany, whether to; divide up the country or to leave) it substantially intact with onlyj minor los;es in land holdings. it could be readily resolved. Usually, however, both of the claimants can submit good argu ments to support their respective cases. Czechoslovakia, for in stance, needs the Sudetenland for its industry and for its strategic value, but the people there are German in nationality. Further complications come when both claimants use the same argument each alleging, for instance, that the people in the area belong to it in nationality. This is likely to be the case where the territory is inhabited by people of both national groups, as in Transyl vania and Alsace-Lorraine. Next Peace Conference Not Final. Only a blind optimist could hope that all of the worlds territorial problems will be satisfactorily and permanently settled by the next peace conference. There is no perfection in such matters. If, however, we can use our intel ligence rather than our emotions in boundary-making we may avoid the worst and least work able decisions. The ultimate solu tion of territorial problems re quires the eradication of those conditions which make territory worth having, as among the 48 states composing the United States. If sometime the kind of thinking that produces nationalism, trade restrictions, fear and insecurity is Jen behind, there will be no more international competition for land than between Kansas and Nebraska at the present time.

General subject for ex tempore speaking was "Current Affairs." Miss McKinsey's first place winning speech was on "The China Homme Front."

Competing institutions were Notre Dame university, Loyola university, Carleton col lege, Knox college, Monmouth college, Carroll college, Mount Mary college, Northwestern uni versity, Nebraska Wesleyan uni versity, Rockford college, and the University of Nebraska.

All of these problems will be extremely complicated. When a demand for territory is made by a state there are many facts to be taken into account. What are the wishes and aspirations of the! people in the coveted area? 1 Should they be consulted, and if; so, how? Can annexation be; justified on the ground of na-' tional security against military attack? Will annexation stabilize 1 or upset the balance of power? Is the territory needed by the claim- j and for economic reasons, to ac quire natural resources, industry or ports?
