A Good Idea . . .
As an experimental measure, three daily papers are on
sale to students in the Crib. The Lincoln Journal, Lincoln
Star and World Herald will be offered to help students ob
tain the papers more easily.
For a long time, there has been a lack of interest in
world news, probably due to the lack of available news
papers. With this new service offered by the Union, we can
reach out from our own little world heretofore limited to
the Daily Nebraskan.
Saturday morning when the papers were placed on sale,
the cashier reported a sell-out by noon. The primary reason
for selling the dailies was for those students taking courses
in which a newspaper was required reading, but the avail
ability of the papers should serve to wake us up to what is
going on more effectively than lectures or assignments.
Reading a newspaper each day is a good habit to get
into and the sale of the three papers in the Crib is a good
vray to start that habit among the daily Unionology majors.

Theatre . . .

five future admirals of the Brazil
ian Navy follow Ruth home and
invade the apartment, nearly caus
ing an international scandal.
The crews for this production,
headed by Max Whittaker, Tech
nical Director of the University
Theatre, have created a fine ex
ample of a sub-street Greenwich
apartment. Walls are of a blue
green, added to by the dabs of
fungus appearing at intervals on
the surface. Furniture is of the
shabbiest, while the effect of the
sidewalk, at a higher level than
the apartment thru, the window
backstage is excellent. It is thru
this window that the audience
views picturesque life in the vil
lage. Stadent Producers.
Students in charge of the vari
ous production crews are Dick
Espegren, head of light crew, Bar
bara Berggren, in charge of cos
tumes, Ann Proper, Stage Man
ager, Marjorie Hagaman, in charge
of properties, and Rex Coslar,
head of the construction crew.
Dallas S. Williams, Director of
the University Theatre, wishes to
stress the prompt curtain rising
at 8 p. m. on all nights of the
production. This is effected in or
der that the play will finish and
students may get home by 10 p. m.
To do away with an extra disturb
ance, therefore, no admittance
will be allowed after the beginning
of the play until the end of the
first scene.
"My Sister Eileen" is scheduled
for five performances. Productions
after the opening Wednesday will
be on Thursday, Friday, and Sat
urday nights. A special matinee
will be held on Saturday, Nov. 2.
at 10 o'clock in the morning, so
those attending will not miss the
Homecoming Football game. In all
future productions this year, the
Saturday matinee will be given at
two in the afternoon.
Iowa State's homecoming com
mittee rushed printing of 1,000 ad
ditional tickets to defeat scalpers
reported to be offering tickets to
the homecoming dance at twice

BY JACK HILL
The voices of the small nations
became louder and louder as the
United Nations general assembly
began its long debates on the right
of the Big Five to hold unchecked
veto powers.
The Indian, Argentine, Cuban
and Australian delegations have
all gone on record in one form or
another as opposing the veto in
its present form, while the Big
Five backed down and tossed the
entire question onto the open floor
for debate, and perhaps, satis
factory settlement.
In their first week of plenary
sessions, the United Nations, par
ticularly the greater powers, seem
to have gone far out of their re
spective ways to attempt amicable
settlements. By giving the smaller
nations the right to discuss vital
issues, the Big Five has added to
its own prestige and at the same
time, enabled the United Nations
organization to build a firmer
foundation for the work which it
faces.
The Justice department has put
its feet, both or them, into the
Krng-Lewis coal misunderstand
ings to see which nun is right.
Bone of contention now 'stands on
Krug's statements that the con
tract made with Lewis miners last
May is valid as long as the gov
ernment holds the mines.
John L. says, "Uh, Uh!" and
snaps his fingers at Krug to come
running. Now it will be up to
the brief-case brigade to decide
who, or what, is right.
Add comment to the last para
graph might be on President Tru
man's cabinet meetings on Friday
and Saturday. Harry S. is still
enough of a politician to realize
that 400,000 votes don't grow on
trees and that a coal strike on
election eve might be disastrous.
Hence the deafening silence now
issuing from the White House on
the whole problem.
In a last ditch attempt to save
the shreds of what was once OPA
and effective price control, Mar-
riner S. Eecles, chairman of tie
Federal Reserve Board, disclosed
this week-end that war-time con
trols on charge account and some
installment buying may be re
moved in the immediate future.
This is- interpreted as an at
tempt to keep the more essential
controls in effect by reducing all
extraneous reins and hoping that
the new Congress which is soon
to meet will pass them by rather
than ending them completely.
Which boils down to a question
of giving away five dollars to
keep three. And that's just what
the government appears to be do
ing . . . giving away a good five
bucks that isn't there.

In Memorial Student Union on
the Iowa State campus, Ames, is
a hall known as Gold Star Hall,
dedicated to graduates and stu
dents of the school who were
killed in action during World war
II. Right in the middle of the
floor of the hall is a big zodiac. It
has been a long-standing custom
at Iowa State that no one walks
on this sign, and when students
walk through this hall they care
fully go around it This week the
director of the student union did
his bit to shatter the custom when
he announced that it is perfectly
all right to walk on the sign, and
those who do so will do more
good than harm since they help
to keep the sign polished. There
are those, however, who refuse
to let his advice make any dif
ference. It seems there is also a
superstition that anyone who
walks on the sign will be the ob
ject of some bad luck such as
the flunking of an examination.
"In this day and age," they say,
"it just doesn't pay to take
chances."
The Indiana Daily Student, In
diana University student publica
tion, rang on its front page a col
umn called "Politics Day-By-Day,"
concerned with interpreta
tion of campus politics, apparently
designed to help the students who
have to have a better idea of
what and for whom they are vot
ing. The column goes into detail
about all type of campus politics,
and explains the function of va
rious organizations based en pol
itics. Syracuse University students
lost their battle. They have been
pleading with school officials for
weeks for a four-day Thanksgiv
ing holiday, so that more stu
dents could spend Thanksgiving
with their families. This week,
however, F. G. Crawford, dean of
the school, announced that the
Thanksgiving vacation would last
only one day, because the holiday
is so near Christmas vacation, and
because lengthening the vacation
to include the week end would
upset the school schedule. In re
sponse to this announcement the
Daily Orange, campus publica
tion, ran a front page editorial in
forming the administration that
the veteran students are entitled
to eat Thanksgiving turkey din
ner with their families, and the
very least the school can do is to
close its eyes to Wednesday, Fri
day and Saturday class cuts that
week.

There is something nostalgic a Sat
urday morning. Saturday morning
brings relaxation and the delicious
feeling of "Oh, boy, no classes!" No
hurried rush to breakfast, no cram
ming for six weeks tests in the early
yawning hours, just real relaxation.
Saturday mornings in the fall have
an added pleasure. There is an un
definable air of expectancy about
the afternoon football game or the
thrill of pheasant hunting for those
lucky ones with shotgun shells.
There's no doubt about it, there
ought to be more Saturdays in a
week!
