Sen. Wherry .
Adamant on
AEC Stand
By Roger Moore and Jack Hill
Kenneth S. Wherry, Nebraska's
republican junior Senator, said in
Lincoln yesterday that his pre
vious statements in connection
with the nomination of David Lil
ienthal to the chair of the atomic
commission "still stand."
The republican Senate whip, in
terviewed at a press conference
in the Cornhusker hotel, grew ve
hement when reporters questioned
him on his reaction to statements
made by Leland Stowe, war cor
respondment who spoke in Lin
coln Wednesday.
Stowe had said that the Ne
braska representative's views on
the Lihenthal question were simi
lar to those of a "13th Century
poliucion." The well-known in
ternational newspaperman con
demned Wherry's attitude on both
the Lilienthal controversy and on
foreign affairs.
Replies to Stowe
Wherry heatedly answered that
he could not understand Stowe's
statements since he had never re
vealed his reasons for objection
to Lilienthal either on the floor
of the senate or in committee
meeting. The republican said he
not only had not revealed his
reasons but that he did not intend
to reveal them now or in the fu
ture. Appearing at the Founder's Day
banqtfet in Lincoln last night,
Senator Wherry introduced Owen
Brewster, republican senator from
Maine and principal speaker at
the banquet Wherry and Brew
ster have been in accord on most
foreign and domestic issues dis
cussed in the senate during the
present session.

Panel Avers
School Value
To Nebraska
Three out of four speakers on
the weekly veterans forum yes
terday answered1 "Yes" to the
question, "Is the University Meet
ing the Needs of the State?"
Only negative argument was
presented by graduate student
Robert Shasteen. As evidence he
offered the point that many grad
uates leave the state when fin
ishing school. He stressed the
inadequate facilities and described
the school as a "sprawling group
of buildings."
Affirmative.
Arguing in the affirmative were
Arlis Swanson; Dr. K. O. Broady,
extension division director, and
Dr. Floyd W. Hoover, assistant to
the director of admissions. All
three felt tha"t the university was
meeting the state's needs as well
as possible, on the limited budget
allowed.
Miss Swanson stressed particu
larly the cultural advantages such
as the speech department's clinics
and debates, music choral groups
and social welfare on both ag and
city campuses.
Dr. Broady, while answering in
the affirmative, pointed out sev
eral possible improvements, in
cluding a better understanding of
people in small towns, and adult
education through extension work.
Dr. Hoover mentioned handi
caps with which the university
was forced to work. Among these
were the facts that the school is
overcrowded and understaffed and
that most students do not know
what to expect from a university.
However, he said, "The quality
of the training has not deterio
rated." Gymnast Team

In Calisthenics
Forty-two Danish gymnasts
presented a spectacular display of

ish fundamental gymnastics. The

grace and precision.
Directing the gymnasts were
Eric Flensted-Jensen and Mrs
Lind Boerup.
The team is composed of Dan

Sugar Grief
Sugar and coke lovers must
reconcile themselves to the fact
that complete reconversion of the
two items has not as yet been
effected in the post war world
according to Patricia Lahr, Union
director.
In the way of an explanation of
the current and recurrent lack of
commodities, Miss Lahr pointed
out that in both cases the Union
still is subject to rationing by the
government and individual pro
ducers
Quota Recommended.
The Union quota of sugar is
recommended by the sugar office
in Omaha and that decision is
based on a bi-monthly report
originating in the office of the di
rector. This report is a compila
tion of food and refreshment bus
iness figures regarding the amount
of sugar consumed by customers
during the alloted period.
After scrutinizing these figures,
the sugar office sends an allot'
ment check which is placed in a
local bank and drawn on in the
ensuing two months. This report
is submitted the first of each
month, and the check is received
abouth the tenth. The "in-between"
period is often a sugarless
one in the. event of an unforseen
lump in business, Miss Lanr
stated.
While the coke supply is free
from government restrictions, the
Coca-Cola company still finds it
necessary to ration the syrup due
to depleted and small reserve
stocks of sugar used for coke
syrup. The amount of coke which
the Union received each month is
based on a percentage which the
customer used in a corresponding
month in 1942. "This, of course, is
a figure that is far inadequate,'
Miss Lahr asserted, 'since we are
handling ten times the business
we did during any month of 1942
"Until these controls are re
moved, the Union will operate to
please the students to the best of
it ability and will ask only that
students in turn consider the
problems that still confront the
management and bear with these
inconveniences," Miss Lahr said

Health Clinic
Treats 250
Flii Victims
Approximately 250 cases of mild
flu have been treated by the Stu
dent Health Service, Dr. S. I.
Fuenning reported to the Daily
Nebraskan yesterday. This figure
includes treatment of patients on
campus since the end of last week
when first signs of flu appeared
in Lincoln.
While the campus is far from
the epidemic stages, Dr. Fuenning
voiced the hope that all students
who are feeling ill will go to the
Student Health department for a
check-up. He stated that prompt
care is one of the best defenses
against such an epidemic.
Urging strongly against any type
of home treatment attempted by
the student, Dr. Fuenning asked
tnat the student feel no hesita
tion in coming to Pharmacy build
ing. "Self-treatment can prove
very dangerous," Fuenning com
mented, "as is any attempt to
give instructions thru the Daily
Nebraskan for treatment."
The doctor concluded his state
ment by saying, "the best way to
be sure and play it safe is to come
directly to us at Student Health."
