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!

Editor:
Gloom has struck! (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
