State Expenditure
"Active and moral support"
pledged to Governor Val Peterson
in a resolution passed by the Vet
eran's Organization on November
26. was removed by the group at
a mass meeting Wednesday night
This resolution had as its goal
an appropriation from the legis
lature that "would put the Uni
versity among the best of the land
grant colleges." Action was
prompted after studying Governor
Peterson's budget recommenda
tions which the univets believe to
be "unbelievably inadequate."
Speakers Bureau
The Univets have also organ
ized a speakers bureau to "pro-,
mote a clearer understanding of
the services of the University to
the state." Speakers will all be
University students giving their
service free of charge.
Under present plans the bureau
would furnish a speaker and,
when available, a 30-minute movie
covering University activities to
any Nebraska organization re
questing them. Requests may be
mailed to Mr. Carl Booton, 209

partment, Maxim M. K. Elias,

the question, "Is Russo-American
Cooperation Possible?" over Vet's
Views, a weekly radio program,

While all lour speakers agreed
that cooperation is definitely pos
sible, economic, political, cultural
and physical phases were investi

to the political factors involved
and discussed the respective sizes
of Russia and America, correlat
ing this information with popula
tions, resources and policies.
Other Speakers.
Elias, a fifty year old citizen of
this country, spent 25 years in
Russia. He attacked the problem

those of the people.
