NSA Committee to Wait
On Used Book Campaign
The projected collection of used
text-books for students in Europe
by the National Student Associa
tion committee has been tempo
rarily postponed on the advice of
Chancellor R. G. G-stavson, Marge
Anthony, chairman of the commit
tee, announced today.
"The drive has definitely not
been postponed," Miss Anthony
said. "We are waiting for direc
tions from Harold Snyder, direc
tor of the government's Commis
sion for International Educational
Reconstruction. Upon receipt of
his letter, the NSA committee will
continue collections.
No Train Space.
Committee members, in an in
terview with Chancellor Gustav
son, found that space on the Lin
coln Friendship train will not be
available since the planned cargo
will consist entirely of food.
Miss Anthony urged students to
refrain from selling their used
textbooks at the end of the semes
ter until word has been received
from Director Snyder. It is ex
pected that the CIER chief will
inform the committee as to ship
ping space problems and particu
larly the types of books that will
be permitted to enter Europe and
are needed there.
Tentative arrangements have
been made with the Nebraska

Win Top Rates
At Conference
Three members of the UN
women's debate squad carried off
excellent ratings, while a fourth,
Eloise Paustain, a sophomore, was
rated "superior" highest debate
honor, at a conference held last
Friday and Saturday at the
Illinois State Normal university
in Normal, I1L
The squad took part in both
debate and discussion activities,
but the results of the three rounds
of discussion have not been given
to the Nebraska faculty as yet -
The team composed of Mary
Dye and B. J. Holcomb won four
and lost two debates in the course
of the conference, while the team
of Jackie Wightman and Miss
Paustian split even with three
wins and three losses.
Among the prominent debating
schools who competed in the con
ference were Northwestern U,
Marquette, Augustana college, and
Wheaton college. It was estimated
that about 25 or 30 schools participated.
'Huskerland? Author Dedicates.
Winning Song to Gen. Pershing
"I wanted to write a song for
the University .1 Nebraska that
would become as familiar as the
Notre Dame Victory March or
"On, Wisconsin," Harry Miner
said in an interview with The
Daily Nebraskan on release " of
his song, "Huskerland" to univer
sity students.
Miner, former Husker football
player and an active alumnus on
the West coast, wrote the song
for a contest sponsored by the
university alumni association.
"Huskerland" was named the
winner in May, 1942. .
Written with the faint echo of
Indian tom-toms in the back
ground, the song traces Nebras
ka's athletic fame thru its lead
ers from the turn of the century.
Miner said that he had dedicated
the song to Gen. of the Armies,
John J. Pershing, '82, bacause "the
general was a real fighter and a
real Cornhusker and I believe that
this song expresses his spirit and
the spirit of Nebraska."
Recorded.
"Huskerland" has been record
ed by the Long Beach, California
municipal band. J. J. Richards,
director of the band, told Miner in
a letter, "You have a very snappy
and catchy tune, well-suited to the
purpose for which you wrote it
and it compares favorably with
other university songs."
University band director, Don
Lentz reported to The Daily Ne
Book Store to allow students to
sell their used books there and
apply portions of their credit
toward late copyright technical
books which would then be in
cluded in the shipment These ar
rangements, Miss Anthony said,
will be completed by the end of
the week and the used book drive
will probably continue then.
All-Vet Convo
Gets Walker
Report Today
I Norman E. Walker, the Uni
Vets delegate to the recent Na
tional Conference of Veteran
Trainees, will report on activi
ties of the conference when he
makes the principal address at
an all vet convocation Tuesday
at 3 p. m. in Love Library audi
torium. Walker, in a statement printed
in The Daily Nebraskan last week,
said that Nebraska's congressional
representatives expressed them
selves as favoring a reasonable
increase" in GI bill allotments.
But when the convening veterans
tried to get passage of the Meade
Bill (HR 866) before the special
session of congress adjourned,
they were rebuffed. The bill was
tabled when the House voted a
gag rule in the last 24 hours of
the session, so that congressmen
could get home for the Christmas
holidays.
Vets Want More.
Delegates to the veteran con
ference then voted to amend the
Meade bill, revising the payments
upward. They would like to see
enactment of a new GI Bill pay
ing $100 for single veterans, $125
for married student veterans and
$10 for each additional depend
ent. Current GI Bill payments
are $65 and $90. with no provision
for dependents.
Keith Kittle, former Uni Vet
president, will present statistics
gleaned from a veterans' living
expenses poll recently conducted
on the campus and at several Ne
braska colleges. He will compare
living expenses at Nebraska with
costs veterans are carrying at
other schools across the country.
Provisions have been made to
bring vets living at Huskerville
to the convocation. The regular
3:30 Huskerville bus will leave
at 3:45 and arrive at Love Li
brary in time for the convoca
tion. braskan that "Huskerland" had
been played at the Oklahoma foot
ball game and that it would prob
ably be in general use at univer
sity pep occasions as soon as band
orchestrations are available for
the ntire band.
Miner commented that his song
was played at a football game for
the first time by the Notre Dame
varsity band at the Nebraska
Notre Dame game. It was played
in honor of Gov. Val Peterson and
Michigan's Gov. Kim Sigler, both
Cornhusker alumni. Arrangements
for playing the song were made
in a week, the songwriter said,
"demonstrating Notre Dame's ea
gerness to cooperate."
General Pershinr.
When General Pershing re
ceived word of the dedication of
"Huskerland" to him. Miner re
ceived a letter of personal thanks.
While Pershing is too ill to have
the song played for him, he has
had copies sent to army bands
thruout the country.
Miner expressed the desire that
any royalties or funds received
from "Huskerland" be placed in a
fund to establish a university
scholarship. He said that he
hoped both the song and the schol
arship would serve as inspirations
to keep "the Cornhusker spirit
alive."
Words and music of the song
will be printed in The Daily Ne
braskan at a later date.

Graduate Club
Cancels Dinner
The Graduate Club banquet
originaly scheduled for 6:15 to
night in Union parlors XYZ has
been postponed until late in
February. Approaching exams
and other circumstances beyond
the planning committee's con
trol have forced the postpone
ment. The large number of students
who bought banquet tickets at
the Union office may recover
their money upon presentation
of their tickets at the Union
office, according to Rosanne
Svoboda, program committee
chairman. Announcement of the
re-scheduled date will appear

Music Group
Against Ban
On Recordings
The National Asociation of
Schools of Music adopted a reso
lution against the'ban on record
ings at its 23rd . annual meeting
at the Hotel Statler in Boston.
Arthur Westbrook, director of
the School of Fine Arts, was
Nebraska's representative to the
convention.
The resolution read in full:
"The National Association of
Schools of Music wishes to em
phasize the fact that the pro
posed ban on recording by the
American Federation of Mu
sicians deprives the schools of
music of the United States of one
of their most essential tools in the
teaching of music. The association
realizes that there are economic
issues involved which cannot be
easily resolved except perhaps
by a revision of the out-moded
copyright laws which can only be
accomplished by Congressional ac
tion. At the same time, the asso
ciation re-emphasizes the fact
that recordings are today as es
sential in the teaching of music as
is the microscope to the teacher of
science and that the basic econ
omic problem cannot be solved by
merely discontinuing the making
of records."
Donald M. Swarthout of the
University of Kansas was elected
president of the association for the
coming year.
Social Workers
Exhibit Traces
Past Growth
A display, created for bulletin
board showing, has been placed
at the south end of second floor
Social Science by the Graduate
School of Social work to show the
growth of this field of study over
a period of years.
Consisting of a large water
color scene, the display shows a
hilly landscape criss-crossed by
rivers which empty through a
single channel into the sea. This
represents steps in the advance
ment of social work.
The river-routes are marked at
intervals by dates in the history
of the growth of social work
which indicate great single ad
vances, such as the establishment
of the first orphanage in America
1729, and the founding of the first
school of social work in the
United States. 1899.

on the Coliseum maples.
The Tigers' superior height
and beef spelled a second confer
ence defeat for Coach Harry
Good's charges and evened the
count between the two clubs with
a win each in two meetings this
season. The Huskers nipped Miz
zou, 46-44, in a Big Six pre-sea-son
tourney clash at Kansas City.
Nebraska drew first blood in
Monday's' battle as Forward
Claude Retherford dropped a
charity toss. Missouri's Ben Bide
well and Nebraska's Rod Cox ex
changed fielders before Stalcup's
fiery court masters began warm
ing the nets.
Timers Strike Fast.
Before four minutes had elapsed
the Tigers were sporting a 9-3
advantage. And with eight min
utes gone the lead was upped to
22-6.
Coach Good replaced his Husk
er regulars with a fresh reserve
quint. A gallant bid by the sec
onds with Bus Whitehead spark
ing, pulled the Nebraskans up
steadily and by halftime had the
margin whittled to 29-24.
The Scarlet scrappers returned
for the final half and converted
four successive free throws to
trail Mizzou, 29-28. William
Haynes added two for Missouri
but Cox countered with a charity
toss and Neal Mosser hit with a
field attempt to knot the count
at 31-31 with four minutes of the
second half gone.
From that point on the Huskers
tired and the Missouri quint be
gan to roll. With eight minutes
gone in the final canto Missouri
sported a 46-35 advantage and
with eight minutes remaining they
were ahead 58-43. A free throw by
Joe Brown and two quick bas
kets by Dick Srb cut the Missouri
margin to 12 points at the gun.
Rough Battle.
Nebraska was guilty of only
seven infractions during the tor
rid first half but committed 17
fouls in the rough final period.
Missouri lost two men via the foul
