We Must Not Fail
The Ivv Ilnv Oral ion
BY BOB GREEN.
I speak today well aware of the pressing problems in
world affairs. The war is over, the greatest conflict which
man has ever endured. That is history; the problems of
our generation are ahead of us. The youth of today con
stitute the leader of our nation tomorrow. We of this class
have attained our first goal by obtaining an education to
better equip ourselves to meet and conquer these problems.
It has been our good fortune to attend a great university,
a school supported whole heartedly by the citizens of our
state, a state proud of its school and proud of its youth.
We thank you for this heritage. It is our hope that we
may keep the faith you have entrusted in us.
Unfortunately, many of our original number are not
priviliged to graduate with us. These men and women
have returned from the war and are underclassmen. Far
too many will never come back. To those returning, a
grateful nation, a grateful state, and a grateful school owe
an undying debt a debt which must not be taken lightly
nor quickly forgotten, for theirs is a conflict as great as
the hardships they have endured, a conflict of readjustment.
This is our first problem. They do not ask favoritism, nor
pity, but only the chance of an adequate education, security
and a life of happiness. If we give them these things, we
will return to them a faith in something deeper and more
eternal than themselves. Our vision of a postwar world
will be a mockery, unless we provide a place for them. Only
then, will their sacrifice not have been in vain.
Let us turn momentarily to the opportunities offered to
those returning. The G. I. Bill of Rights, with which we are
all acquainted, makes it possible for them to obtain an edu
cation with a minimum of financial worry. Whether their
chosen field be law, medicine, engineering, agriculture,
education or business, all have the opportunity to reach
their desired goal and return to their communities, no mat
ter how large or small, and contribute a full measure of ef
fort toward the progress of our nation.
The men and women of our class that have been here
the full four years have been faced with the enormous prob
lem of maintaining a semblance of normalcy. We have
never faltered in our efforts to preserve the traditions,
scholarship and sportsmanship which have always char
acterized students of the University of Nebraska. We have
continued such traditions as Ivy Day, which we are cele
brating today. We have studied hard to maintain our
high scholastic average, and we have carried on an ade
quate athletic program, often against almost insurmount
able odds. Nebraska athletes have proved themselves true
sportsmen in any field of conflict.
In the past four years, we have observed improvements
in our school which have greatly benefited us in obtaining
our education. Among these are the addition of Carrie
Belle Raymond Hall, Love Memorial Library and Love Hall
on the campus o fthe Agricultural College. The future
promises even great improvements. The construction of the
Armory, the much needed men's dormitories, and the Agri
culture extension of the Student Union will further en
chance our opportunities and beautify our campus. It is
the desire of the class of 1946 to contribute to the improve
ment of our school in any way possible.
And now we must turn our thoughts and efforts toward
our present and future problems the problems of world
peace. Many months ago the leaders of great nations met
to take the initial step in the planning of this world of our
dreams. The names of these men are familiar to all of us.
A year ago this spring, the great statesmen of the world
gathered in San Francisco m an effort to make world peace
a reality. This was the second step. Today, great strides
are being made by the United Nations Organization, made
up of large nations, small nations perhaps even impotent
nations, but each an entity in its own right. The men that
represent these powers realize that throughout the ages
civilization has been bedeviled by wars and the destruc
tion wrought by them. They further realize that with the
advent of the atomic bomb and other such devasting de
vices, civilization could not endure if another world conflict
weer to occur. At last, it seems that light and hope have
begun to penetrate the darkness of the past few years. We
realize that the world is far from complete and that much
is left to be desired. Perhaps we can never reach a Utopia.
However, today we face a future of promise, a promise of
life undreamed of by our predecessors. Now is the time to
prepare. We must justify our every thought and action
toward this end. Each of us must actively contribute to
building the long road back to a free world, regenrating our
country with a new vigor.
utegeGTa's Approves W Feir
A budget allowing an increase
of 19 percent over the current ex
penditures was approved Satur
day by the Board of Regents, set
ting the operations figure at $5,
305,946 for 1946-47.
The budget for the fiscal year,
which begins July 1, represents
$2,408,458 in state tax funds; $1,
076,948 in cash funds derived
from student fees, endowments
and reserve; $716,685 in federal
funds; and $1,103,853 derived
from self-supporting activities and
enterprises of the university.
btate funds will be received
through appropriation by the next
session of the legislature.
The Regents approved disburse
ments of $4,202,093 for instruc
tional and general expenses of
operation and maintainance; and
re-appropriated the estimated $1,-
iim.hm income from self-suDrxirt-
ing activities for the operation of
those activities during the next
fiscal year.
Budget Revised.
The new budget compared with
$4,430,406 approved for operation
of the university during the cur
rent fiscal year. Excluding in
come from self-supporting agen
cies, the budget total derived
from state and federal taxes and
cash funds next year of $4,202.-
093 compares with $3,402,636 for
the year ending July 1.
lhe difference in income is due
(1) to an increase in enrollment
which doubled income from stu
dent fees; and (2) dipping into
the university's reserve operating
fund for an additional $136,948
with which to meet the deficit
in next year's budget.
Income from state taxes re
ceived by the university is de
rived from five major sources:
General fund, $2,250,000, Agri
cultural Extension, $140,000; Agri
cultural Promotion, $4,500; Agri
cultural Meetings, $800; and Voca
tional Education. $13,158 all of
which were specifically "ear
marked" by the last session of
the legislature.
Income from federal funds is
derived from 10 different sources,
all of them appropriated speci
fically for agricultural purposes.
Income from these three major
sources (state and federal taxes,
and cash income (from fees, en
dowments, and reserve) will be
expended in the next fiscal year

Victor Borge, Eyebrow, et al,
Appears at Coliseum Monday
A JL
Victor Borge, Danish musical
humorist hailed by critics for his
versatility as actor, composer, mu
sician, writer and director, will
appear at the coliseum at 8 p. m.,
May 6..
Borge, who with his wife, fled
from Denmark after its invasion,
entered the United States in Sep
tember, 140. He is the child of
a musical family. His father, an
eminent violinist, played under
the direction of Richard Wagner
and was a member of the Beruta
quartette in Copenhagen. His
mother was a gifted pianist and
music teacher.
Royal Tutors.
Tutored by his father's col
leges in the Royal Opera in
Copenhagen, Borge later received
scholarships to the music con
servatory in Copenhagen, the Uni
versity of Berlin, the studies in
Denmark and Vienna with Vic
tor Schvo'er, Frederick Lamond j
and Eon Petri.
Assured that his wit was a
marketable commodity, Borge
went to Hollywood soon after his
arrival in this country, and
through the efforts of Rudy Val
lee, he was given a part on Bing
Crosby's variety show in 1941.
In his first motion picture,
"Higher and Higher," he was cast
as an Englishman. He refused an
other English part after the re-
f ' 1
VICTOR BORGE
lease of the picture because he
did not believe himself able to
master an English accent.
Tickets for the performance are
on sale at Walt's Music store and
are $1.20, $1.40 and $1.80.
We must not, we cannot fail. Today is important, as we
must prepare for tomorrow. None of its can shirk our duty.
A few cannot accomplish the feat which lies ahead. It can
only be effected by all nations and all men combining every
resource to stamp out the roots of distrust and dishonesty
between nations.
You may wonder what role the student must play in
this pattern. He must learn well the problems of peace,
of adjustments to tolerance of religion, of nations and of
races. There must be no room in our new world for blind
prejudices, prejudices which will as surely cause our down
fall as our enemies have been felled by the combined efforts
of all nations, all regions and all races. .All of these ideals
are within our minds, but the power to perpetuate these
lies in the insight and sound judgment of our professors.
I herefore, we look to them to clarify the meaning of some
thing which until now has been only a dream. In their
hands lies the ability to mold the minds of youth as the
sculptor molds clay into objects of beauty, through tfieir
efforts they may help us attain the complete world we seek
and which the generations to follow will also work toward.
The war has proved to all of us that we are a part of
the most powerful nation in the history of mankind. We
have proved ourselves to be a brave people, and a capable
people. Our tireless efforts and our undying will to main
tain our freedom spurred us on to victory. Now we must
renew our efforts and work even more untiringly to main
tain peace with our freedom.
President Truman, in a recent speech, summarized the
aims toward which we must all strive, with the following
statement, "We must use all our force and all our resources
and all our skills in the great cause of a just and lasting
peace!" These words have a deeply significant meaning,
for truly we must have an endurcr peace. We must not
fail!
