To The Administration This publication is in sad shape. We've heard deroga tory remarks about the material published herein and we've only been going to press for some two and a half weeks. Consequently the time for clarification is at hand. In other words we've been trying to please too many people and the official school paper has suffered by that action. Hereafter we are going to speak our piece and worry about it later. Some two days past we published a letter to the editor concerning an organization known as the united World Federalists which, we assumed because of their activities on the campus last year, was a university sanctioned organ ization. Following the publication of above mentioned let ter weMearned that the organization (nee Student federal ists) is not at present and never was sanctioned by the university. According to press releases of last year, the Student Federalists met in the Union and on the campus without intervention on the part of the administration. This year the group announced, in this paper, a scheduled meeting at which a university faculty member was presumably to speak. Although this organization was apparently func tioning without university sanction, no action was taken to prevent their activities last year nor following the dis closure of a meeting this year. We have a Chancellor, dean of men, dean of women, dean of student affairs, dean of faculty and an infamous faculty senate: Yet a supposedly unauthorized organiza tion is allowed to function for several months. Not only allowed to function but allowed to sponsor an all-university convocation on one occasion, (Feb. 7, 1947) and a ballroom convocation (Nov. 26, 1946) on another. While these convocations were being attended by stu dents, and the speakers introduced by faculty members, the administration of the university neither sanctioned nor opposed these activities. Rumors were that a faculty.com mittee was invesigating the "red, white and blueness" of the organization's basic policies. However, no official report of their findings was ever published for public consumption. Since no official report of their findings was forthcoming, we assume that such an investigation was just rumor. Now the Federalists are informed that they may not maintain a membership booth in the union nor hold group meetings because the ever present faculty senate has not officially passed on the organization. If the senate will not pass on the group and if they are investigating it, why not make public an official condenmation of the group and state their reasons or the investigating committee's findings. Or, if they do not approve the organization but have not in vestigated it as yet why not since their non-sanctioning is apparent disapproval. If an organization on this campus is considered sub versive, students and faculty alike should be informed and the organization should be dissolved! If the organization is not proved subversive, and the action of the faculty shows that they apparently disapprove the group, then let's see some investigation and a decision one way or the "other. The purpose of this writing is not to be misconstrued. I have never backed the Student Federalists and am not doing it now! The issue at hand is the complete ignorance of the students and apparently the faculty regarding uni versity sanctioning or non-sanctioning of an organization. If the administration doesn't mind, the students who, after all, are the university, would like to know the reasons be hind administrative action! YMCA Film Tells Russian Story Friday "Crime and Punishmen t," French film version of Dostoyev sky's Russian novel, will be pre sented Friday at 8 p. m. in Tem ple Theater under the auspices of the university YMCA. First in a scries of foreign film are to be shown this year, the French pic ture has English sub-titles throughout. Directed by Pierre Chenal and starring Pierre Chenal and Harry Bauer, the movie drew this com ment from "Time" magazine after its American premier: "Crime and Punishment" with Dostoyev sky's sociological polemics stripped away moves, to a tempo of fore boding, unheard drums, with an intensity so great that the camera seems itself to be the living and tortured mind of Raskolnikov, the central figure." Members of the YM and YW are selling tickets which are avail able also at the Union office, Ellen Smith hall, Daily Nebraskan of fice, or at the box office in Temple Fiiday evening. Price, including federal tax, is 50c 15 of College Students Need Psychiatric Aid Fifteen percent of all students in the nation's colleges and uni versities need some kind of psy chiatric consultation or care, the committee on mental health of the third National Conference on Health in Colleges announced in Washington, D. C. , One-third of these cases are urgent ones who need immediate help before they get into trouble, the committee said. Another third have less serious neuroses and maladjustments and the rest can get along without preventa tive psychiatry, but would be bet ter off with it. There are many students who do not fall in the fifteen percent class who have personal problems which psychiatry could assist in solving. The actual number of breakdowns in any well-selected student body will not exceed two percent, however. The commit tee found that very few colleges offer the services of a psychiatrist at the present and suggested that teams of psychiatric specialists would solve the needs. Editorial Team .

The investigation also brought to light the following situations: The city, county and state au thorities are aware of these con ditions and are taking definite steps toward their correction. However, present conditions with in these agencies including lack of sufficiently trained investiga tors, financial problems, increased population, crowded living condi tions arid insufficient public sup port, have hindered elimination of these conditions. The city government will take action on justified complaints made by patrons against any restaurant or coffee shop, and such complaints will be of great aid in controlling the sanitary con ditions throughout the city. The Uni-Vcts are collecting data to present to the citj officials in regard to the present sanitary conditions of near-campus cafes. The aid of all students and the faculty is requested in ; gathering this data. If you have a just complaint, please send 'or bring it to Room 209, Nebraska Hall or to the Rag Office. List the incident, the date and place of occurrence. All names will be held in confidence by the Uni Vets. This is your chance to help your city, your school and your self. W. E.
