Relax
For relaxation after the six weeks tests, there's danc
ing to a name band Friday night in the Union ballroom.
The orchestra is that of Alvino Rey and his singing guitar.
Since ticket sales are limited, students will have plenty of
room for dancing to his music.
It won't be hard on the pocket either, because compar
ing the cost of an evening of dancing and listening to Rey's
music with the money put out for dancing anywhere else,
what with transportation, tips, checkstands and refresh
ments, the Union offers more for your hard-earned money
any way you look at it.
Daily Nebraskan Staff:
The members of the Lincoln
high Advocate staff wish to take
this opportunity to thank you
for the chance that some of us
had to work on your paper. We
enjoyed it and it was wonderful
experience.
We now wish to ask you for
another favor. The enclosed item
is a list of the War Dead of Lin
coln high. It would be very much
appreciated if you could run some
article, the whole list if possible,
in the Daily Nebraskan. Pupils
and former students have been
contributing small donations for
purchase of the Plaque. We
thought that since many of the
men were probably known by
many persons now at the Univer
sity of Nebraska, some would also
like to contribute something.
Thank you very much,
Sincerely yours.
Advocate Staff,
CARROL CAMPBELL.
(Ed. note). Below is printed a
list of 209 names which will ap- ,
pear on a bronze plaque com-1
memoraung all former Lincoln
high school students who lost their
lives in World War II. The
plaque will be placed in the front
entrance of the high schools,

To the Editor:
I'm a simple man. I believe in Love, Truth, and
Beauty. I'm interested in the work of the Student Fed
eralists, the YMCA, and in Dick Tracy's capturing In
fluence. However, I've learned to take life more or less as
it comes, and expect to see very little improvement in
the world as a result of my having lived in it.
But there are situations which can cause the most
placidly contended canary-bird to scream deprecations in
a language which would cause Hanson the Cockatoo a
few blushes. The hopeish "infiltration of the Union
Cafeteria line is such a situation.
Last Friday I slipped out of Professor Kidd's English
21 class at 13 minutes of 12:00, in order to "sweat out"
the line in time to eat before my one o'clock class and I
just barely made it. Why? It wasn't the 40 people ahead
of me, nor was it the 40 behind me, who were responsible,
It was the 150-odd hogs who went home, read their mail,
prettied up, and sauntered in to swell the line just outside
the cafeteria doors. And this without so much as a by-your-leave
to the fellow they "chiseled in ahead of". The
girl I sometimes eat lunch with was second from the end
of the line when I joined it, so I waited until I had my tray
to join her. In the meantime, five "cultured" gentlemen
joined the line between us, and as many more immediately
before her. The "infiltration" nearer the door was sun
as to make the Japanese jungle warriors seem pikers
purely pikers. And these were "cultured" people, most
of them "nice euys and gals, who wouldn t insult the
aged, spit on the floor, or be seen in public without their
pants pressed, (or their make-up on straight, wnicnever
the case might be.)
And I'm not just talking about somebody else's friends.
My own friends and acquaintances are, in distressing num
bers, doing the same thing. Sure, I know I'm not the only
one who is stuck with an 11 o'clock and a 1 o'clock class.
I also realize that there are a few who plan beforehand to
eat together, and find it necessary to meet in the line,
but doesn't justify rudeness, nor even account for the
chiseling of the majority.
If we're going to throw consideration down the stairs,
let's agree upon that, and we'll all turn out with ball
bats, and meat cleaver?, and maybe a machine gun cr two,
to settle once and for all who goes hungry. If not, suppose
we join the line at the rear, and try to preserve a little
justice for humanity, and give a decent break to a few of
the "suckers" who are too considerate of our feelings to
cut in ahead.
As I said before, I'm a simple man. I don't expect to
evangelize the world, nor to establish immediate interna
ti6nal harmony. But it would be extremely gratifying to
see "refined", educated people demonstrate a little fairness
and consideration in the Campusline, instead of bearing
down on the door like a herd of Poland Chinas on a trough
full of slop. IVAN E. THOMAS

Madame Editor:
A well known professor of po
litical science at our university,
when asked whether he had heard
Lieutenant Governor Crosby's talk
on "Nebraska Approach to World
Government," remarked: "I don't
care to make speeches on govern
ment and don't care to listen to
any they are usually disappoint
ing." Unlike our professor, we may
care to listen to speeches of a
political nature; but we are in
clined to agree with him that such
talks are invariably disappoint
ing. The world being in such terrible
shape as it is today, perhaps we
expected too much from Mr. Cros
by last Thursday. Perhaps we
may have seemed comparable to
a company of riflemen in an am
bush with heart in our head
waiting nervously to catch any
hint which might disclose what
fate has in store. Thus, when an
inkling is given, our heart strug
gles to its natural position and
our blood circulation suiters
serious disruption: we are disap
pointed and feel let down.
What Mr. Crosby presented us
with was a speech on the organi
zation of a world Utopia and not
on an approach to it. For ap
proach implies the use of steps
leading to the ultimate goal. In
sum, the Ueutenant governor de
picted" for us a wonderful uptopian
world, but failed to point out what
we breathlessly expected to hear
his ideas on how to attain such
a world how to go about it in
shaping such a desirable order
with the few adequate tools at
our disposal.
Oh, yes, such world order as our
lieutenant . governor described
would be desirable indeed, mosi
of us are agreed to that. How
beautiful it would all be: a world
government based on the people
and not on political units on
noses and not on symbols. Yes,
we all agree it would be just what
we want.
But how will we get to it? In
this Mr. Crosby was no help. He
advanced no ideas as to what posi
tive steps we should or could take
in trying to achieve our goal. Or
does the lieutenant governor think
that a world Utopia such as he
proposes can be attained simply
by a sudden scrapping of the
present order of things: the gov
ernments, kings, politicians, na
tionalisrn and national jealousies,
and by pressing a button on Presi
dent Truman's desk?
He criticizes the organization of
the United Nations and the method
of representation used therein in
that it represents political entities
and not peoples. Could Mr. Cros
by be so naive as to believe it
possible for the statesmen of the
San Francisco conference to divest
themselves overnight of all ves
tiges of fiery nationalism, tradi
tional conservatism, and all other
traits that distinguish the pobtic-
lan from the philosopher?
Mr. Crosby goes further and
baffles us by saying in effect.
that nations are manufacturers of
our own mind! I'm sure one
would be more apt to think of
political entities as direct and nec
essary upshots of the evolution of
civilization, just as Big Business
and Big Labor are necessary and
direct outgrowths of the Indus
trial Revolution. But, even if na
tions were products of our imagi
nation, can the human mind be
expected to disrupt all its think
ing and espouse a new set of
standards and values suddenly? It
seems evident, then, that all
changes must come about slowly.
through definite planning and
positive steps through evolution
ary methods.
To head Mr. Crosby speak one
would think that to establish a
world government based on people
would be simple and the new or
der immediately applicable. As
supporting evidence, our lieuten
ant governor says we have done
so in our nation and in onr own
Nebraska. Have we really done
so in our nation and in our own
tion in congress truly based on the
people don t our 48 states try
desperately even today to retain
equal representation if only in one
chamber, the senate
In our Nebraska, have the coun
ties been group into representa
tive districts without a stern
fight? Have we forgotten the dis-
sentions arising only recently
when an attempt was made to
group some Iowa : and Nebraska
counties into an O. P. A. district?
Have we forgotten the bitter fac
tional fight that developed be
tween the two groups north and
south of the Platte river in the
issue concerning the location of
our state capital?
Our nation is basically unified
in culture and heritage yet the
states still cling to their soverign
ty. Our state is even more uni
fied in culture and the counties
gave in only after bitter fighting!
Can we think, then, that nations
are products of our imagination
and can we be so naive as to
think them possible of being abol
ished without hard and practical
planning?
Our criticism of Mr. Crosby's
speech on "Nebraska Approach to
World Government" revolves not
on the make-up and principles of
the utopia to be attained for,
most of us are agreed on the de
sirability of that type of order.
Our criticism, then, takes form
around the fact that no proposals
were advanced by the speaker as
to how we could attain 6uch an
ideal society: and therefore around
the implied assumption by the
speaker that the goal could be
achieved in a rather simple man
ner. This, of course, is absurd. The
proposed world order is far from
view and must be worked toward
and labored for through evolu
tionary steps not by day dream
ing. Here, then, are some steps
which may prove helpful in our
struggle for the establishment of
a new world.
We must have confidence in the
attempt being made by the United
Nations. Our criticism of its work
must not be unreasonable and too
idealistic. Changes must be made
in the organization of the United
Nations regularly but slowly with
popular representation in view.
This objective will be attained
only after patient and continuous
work and unrelaxed vigilance.
We must better the economic
and political relations among na
tions. Old reactionary political
tactics must be abandoned for
frankness, open mindedness, and
sincerity. A feeling of mutual un
derstanding must be developed.
Nations like Germany, Italy, and
China must be made ready for
admission into the new order. Old
imperalistic policies are obsolete
and must be abandoned in con
formity with the demands of our
Atomic Age.
We must labor toward a cul
tural fusion, stimulation of study
of languages, promotion of a sense
of mutual assistance in Education
and Science: a better cultural un
derstanding among the peoples of
the world.
Let's not allow idealism to be
come synonymous with dav
dreaming. That which is not
immediately in view but can be
worked toward is idealistic.
With clear, practical Dlannine
and hard work the idealism of
One World can someday be trans
formed into realism.
