Bvron Kamlrk t'uxulatioa Maaacer Kelt Joaaa What Part Religion? What part does religion play in a university commu nity? What is the place of religion in each individual's life at UN? The answers aren't easy and must be decided by each individual's cwn evaluation. "Religion in Life" week, begin ning today and extending through Saturday, has been inte grated into the campus program for this reason. A week full of interesting talks and short discussions has been scheduled for the Union, YMCA and YWCA. Re ligious leaders from over the entire nation are here in Lin coln for this important week. Among them are Dr. T. Z. Koo, secretary of the World's Student Christian Federation and advisor to the Chinese delegation at the San Francisco conference; Dr. Phillips P. Moulton, national director of the University Christian Mission and delegate to the World Christian Youth conference in Amsterdam. Dr. Gabriel Nahas of France; Rev. Amos Thornburg, popular preacher in university churches; Miss Elizabeth Turner, traveling sec retary of the Student Volunteer Movement; and Rev. Ed ward J. Weisenberg, Associate Professor of Dogmatic The ology, Divinity School, St. Louis university are other guest speakers and directors. Another very important part of the week's activity is the schedule of guest speakers at organized houses Monday night. Each organized house requesting a speaker will be discussing current problems of religion over the campus to morrow evening. It is encouraging to know that many houses requested that this phase of the week be repeated after last year's similar plan. Using as their theme, "The Faith That Makes a Differ ence," the directors have brought internationally known re ligious thinkers to the campus in the hope that a few of the many important questions of faith and its meaning may be answered. "Religion in Life" week is planned for the students of the university, and not for any personal publicity on the part of sponsoring groups. The week itself means just what the name implies the part religion plays in your own life. The week has been planned so that students of every faith may be reached, with Catholics, Protestants and Jews cooperating on the program. A challenge to all of us: To determine for ourselves "The Faith That Makes a Difference" in developing a stronger and more vital university community. Hi, Cornhuskers! 'ED NOTF: This editorial was written by Gould "Fig"' Flag with the right, although unusual, idea in mind It is hoped that future letters to the editor will add to this list, which is only a Dcginning So many people have been printing what is wrong with this university that the student body has possibly lost sight of our real assets. We complain about everything under the sun when our friends from neighboring campuses visit us. Instead of bragging up our school we cry on their shoulders. Wre don't try to hear the fine things visiting schools say about us. We forget the prime reason for this institution. A few of the things you are noted for: Your band, one of the finest marching bands in the country. Your library, one of the most modern in the United States. Your Dental College, the best in the nation. Your coeds. (It was a pleasure to return to UN after service in the forces.) Your new chancellor, a swell fellow, whois on your side. Your friendliness, a magnetic attraction for the men stationed here during the war. Your school spirit, which was genuinely displayed last weekend for Homecoming. Let's give ourselves a break. Look around! I m.proud to be a CORNHUSKER!

(Not the nation, not the great State of Nebraska, not even the students of the University of Nebraska) . . . but, GLOOM HAS STRUCK MESSRS. HILL AND GILLAN! To these two perplexed and bewildered gentlemen there is yet a ray of hope. There jg one spot in this "Republican" land of ours which undoubtedly will welcome such a migration of "Democratic" loving Argentines that blotch on the map is Rhode Island. We all recall that little "Rhody" is always rebellious to the bitter end . . . even from the days of ron etitution ratification. At any rate, perhaps Messrs. Hill and Gillan would feel a bit more secure under a "Democratic" statehouse dome. As for the psychological explanation to this glorious change, there is no need for such a scientific analysis! The answer lies in the i determination of the "thinking" people of this nation who truly have "iL'VD ENOUGH!" The disastrous shortage of leadership which has plagued this nation is now nearing its end. Happily for America, today there is a surplus of Republicans in Congress! Unfortunately, the so-called "careful planning" of the New Deal (the "we planned it that way" boys) cannot be corrected for a good many years. It is going to be a terrific struggle to return individual initiative to those who would rather "sell pencils in tin cups." The -fantastic crisis" (as Mr. Hill w aptly put it) is about over . . . the profits of doom have been replaced by aggressive believers in a dynamic America! It is indeed a shame that those who have been "riding the grvy train" for yea, so many a year, cry so loudly before the evil Repub licans have had a chance to bring the walls of Wall street tumbling upon them! It is likewise regrettable that a man like Mr. Hill, not being able to produce fault In a man, stoops to maki ng personal re marks about the individual some 22,000,000 Americans deemed "worthy of the White House in 1944 the man in "whom New Yorkers have just' placed enough confidence to ring up the greatest guber natorial majority in history. Such slanderous remarks and such sin ister slaps will only bury the "New Deal" a little deeper in '48 . . . Uit why worry about that? MESSRS. HILL AND GILLAN CANT VOTE IN ARGENTINE ANYWAY! Sincerely, Harold C. Luedtke Roland A. Luedtke Gene Ells P. S. On questions of a political nature (such as Mr. Hill's . . . be be a staff member or not) the other political group deserves the same amount of space to answer. This is therefore a challenge to the non-partisanship of the "Daily Nebraskan." Any 3-column head such as was carried under Mr. Hill's authorship . . . and the ridiculuous remarks which followed deserve an equally ridiculous answer! Ed. Note This letter was written on stationery headed "Lancas ter County Young Republican Club". Mr. Roland A. Luedte is named as treasurer while the positions of Messrs. Harold Luedtke and Mr. Ells in the organization are not clear. Today, as we all know, begins Religion in Life week. This pro ject deserves every bit of the support that we, as university students, can give it. If we are honest, -we know that there is somthing more to living than just rallies, queens, and elections. We know that there is something more that everyone of us needs if he or she is to have) stability in lif when college is over. This week might w 11 help us to find it. Whether we agree or disagree with the ideals of these men is be sides the point. Men like Dr. T. . Koo desrv the attention which We as intelligent students will gladly give. Men like Dr. Richardson, Dr. Nahan, Dr. Nelson, and Rabbi Wohl have dedicated themselves to an ideal and with an ideal have been recognized as some of the great men of our time. The convocation on Sunday and the meetings during the following wek should have the attention of every student at the university. Very sincerely, Eleanor Knoll Religious Views...
