The University of Nebraska
now is fortunate enough to have
and I sincerely hope to hold
a seat in ISS, the International
Student Service organization.
There were many dubious mo
ments on the campus last year
about Nebraska and ISS. Colum
nists on The Daily Nebraskan
raised their editorial eyebrows
over the propaganda letters sent
out of ISS headquarters which
invited Nebraska to toss her hat
into the ISS ring. WhaLJthe devil
is this ISS business anyway?
everyone asked. What's it for?
Who belongs to it? Why should
we join? Will it hurt? Will it
cure Aunt Jamina's nagging
backache (or will it give us one?).
Plowing through the piles of
ISS info, it came to light that
the primary step was to send a
delegate to the ISS conference
in Denmark, after which said dele
gate would embark on a study
tour of Holland, Italy, Czecho
slovakia or Poland. The Poland
tour fell through for reasons
"undisclosed" by the state de
partment. That was last spring.
Weeks zipped merrily by while
the Student Council pondered.
Should we, should we not send
a delegate. Should we, should we
not. Eventually, a committee
whipped into action. And finally,
on May 15 just five weeks be
fore the ship was due to sail
the decision came. We should!
Now, for the sake of the san
ity of next year s delegate, a
few suggestions, all under the
heading: ELECT YOUR DELE
GATE EARLY. Kindly warn him
(or her) not later than New
Year's day of his coming sum
mer adventure. Reasons are at
least three:
Reason No. 1 Anyone who has
dipped his fingers into state or
ganizational work knows how
much book work and letter writ
ing is involved in getting to
gether a state convention, let
alone a national blowout. And an
international meeting is just that
much harder. Home offices are
in New York, but head offices are
in far off Geneva, Switzerland,
and that means IT TAKES TIME
to whip things into shape.
Furthermore, as interest in In
tern.ntional student exchange
b r 'is, and more and more
u isties become interested,
places will be harder and harder
to obtain. In other words, despite
the glad-handing, summer study
tcurs, such asthose sponsored by
the ISS participation may be held
down to but a few universities.
The student delegation touring
Italy this summer was limited to
ten, and still there were com
plaints that ten is too unwieldy a
group for traveling. Ideal travel
ing groups are small, so if you
want Nebraska to be assured of
a seat in the ISS tours, ELECT
YOUR DELEGATE EARLY.
Reason No. 2 Your delegate
will be entering foreign country.
Give him a month or three to bone
up on foreign languages, and
said delegate will love you for life.
I would have given my right
arm for Prof. Alexis the day I
started to look up a friend in
Paris.
Ach himmel, and I spent my
two foreign language years at
Nebraska on Spanish! Well, two
hours and sixteen Metro miles
later I spotted an Englishman and
finally found my party. But I
swear, I'll never be the same. Or
the time a reception was held for
us in Naples. Where should my
place, be but at the right side of
Giuseppe Buonocore, mayor of
the City of Naples, who spoke not
a word of English.
I gulped, shook hands with the
mayor, mustered every bit of
Spanish I could muster, and pro
ceeded to answer all of His Hon
or's million-and-one questions
about America. After the first
three hours it wasn't bad at all,
but I reckon I sweated off three
pounds that night. (On second
thought, three pounds off the spa
ghetti diet we were getting prob
ably did me more good than
harm!)
Rp.ncnn Nn 3 ELECT YOUR
DELEGATE EARLY and try to
pay at least hair cl nis expenses.
Granted, that's a pretty stiff un-rWfakino-
fnr a stale university.
but waiting until the last minute
as we did at Nebraska last year
meant that the Student Council
had less than $50 in its pockets to
contribute to a project costing
$500. Treasury funds are always
depleted toward the end of the
ephnni vpar Mnkc vour decision
one way or the other early and
set the money aside if it's at all
possible. It goes without saying
that a financially backed delegate
sent by the university will be re
rinvoi no n trnlv stable reDresen-
tative, and not as one who "paid
his way" into the group with
papa's cash.
Righ here and now might be a
good place to break the news I
managed to worm out of the
powers-that-be at ISS headquart
ers in Geneva just before our
Alps conference packed up for
hnm in Aiimist. And that is:
the University of Nebraska defin
itely WILL be invited to sena a
delegate abroad again next year.

can't yell it loud enough that it's
really a worthwhile undertaking
for the university. Not only does
it helD sDread he fame of Ne
braska's fair name. ' but it also

Hi, w

J,
GOOD JUDGES of meat on the hoof are Ned Raun and Richard
Wahltsrom. They place one-two in individual competition at the
American Royal Livestock show held in Kansas City last week end.
UN Ag Team First to Win Both
Top Places at American Royal
Ned Raun and Richard Wahl
strom, Ag college seniors, won na
tional recognition for themselves
last weekend when they placed
first and second respectively in
all ' classes cl competition in the
judging contest at the American
Royal Livestock show in Kansas
City.
delve into in this series of articles.
Next year's conference, by the
way, will be held either in India
or in Hungary, depending on the
political temperature of the world
"situation." Geneva headquarters
should learn definitely wuhm the
next month whether or not India
can come through. If not, the
conference will definitely be in
Budapest, sinve Hungary has al
ready issued the invitation.
Next chapter: "ISS Study Tours
for 1948."
This is the first time in the his
tory of the show that any team
ever won both top places. The
competition included 17 teams of
5 men each, representing most of
the prominent agricultural col
legos in the nation. (
Raun won with a total of 921
points out of a perfect 1,000 and
Wahlstrom earned 910.:Last spring
in the Block and Bridle judging
contest held on Ag campus, tables
were turned and Wahlstrom was
high man followed by Raun.
A total of 12 classes of livestock
were judged during the competi
tion and oral reasons were given
on eight classes. Placing of each
class counts a possible 50 points
and each set of reasons counts 50
point.
The livestock team, coached by
Prof. M. A. Alexander, was fifth
