A letterip appeared in Tuesday's Daily Nebraskan advocating Nebraska University's participation in NSA. This letter was signed "A Law Student." If there is to be such an argument put forth for this group, it seems only right that the signer should give his name. If he has such views, and is willing to air them in the paper or anywhere else, he should be willing to present his identity instead of hiding it that is if the letterip writer is a law student. "Law student" refers to the recent forum discussion of NSA. He refers to the "fine and worthy" principles and objectives of the NSA. But he does not, nor do any NSA supporters, ever elaborate on these "fine and worthy" principles. There has not been any clear-cut description of what NSA could do for Nebraska. Janis Tremper, the national officer who spoke at the above mentioned forum was asked several times from the floor to tell us exactly what the NSA stands for and what it could do for us. Miss Tremper evaded almost all such questions. She sug gested that the NSA could book dance bands, cheaply, for member schools; that the NSA could be a clearing house of information on other schools and on scholarships. Could the NSA book dance bands cheaply? Could the NSA give students any more information about other schools and scholarships than students could get themselves directly from the school? It is not likely. At the same forum, Norm Leger, representative to the regional convention, gave a list of things that the NSA might possibly do on this campus. He didn't say that the NSA would accomplish or even attempt to accomplish these things, but that it might. Then, at the conclusion of his talk, he said that he realized there were groups or organizations already on this campus that were handling the projects or could easily handle them but that NSA would give a national incentive or push. If, as admitted by an NSA representative, all the proposed NSA projects could be taken care of by groups already on the campus, why should Nebraska tvaste the time, money and effort on such a superfluous organization.

Even classrooms serve as constant reminder of the unplea sant weather as raindrops make swirling eddies on the floor. The sky turns grey and the campus becomes a quagmire. Tennis courts get more than their share of mud. Each spring brings the promise of hard-sur facing the courts for summer and each summer finds the work de laved until fall. Fall rains are common in this part of Nebraska and the work is postponed again Result: Only a few weeks of the entire year are the courts in suit able condition for use. The parking lots at this time are a natural hazard to be avoided by every automobile driver on Ag. Even if one is fortunate enough to be able to drive into a parking lot without getting stuck he faces the problem of walking a consid erable distance in ankle-deep mud. Monday was a day of snowbound motorists; nevertheless cars jam med parking lots at mid-morning Of these a few more than half were able to park in the approved areas, one by one the line oi cars was added to until they hid the no parking signs and even appeared on the mall. Double parking is objectionable from the safety standpoint and detracts from the beauty of the mall. However, an officers' field day with a handful of ticket books will not .sojve vie problem The order is a big one and for its sucess it needs student back ing ail the way. A good univer sity must meet the needs of its students as they arise even in the little things. Parking lots could prove a beginning for some real student zeal for campus im provements. As for recreational facilities, they should be in creased and when it comes to tennis courts I suggest some thing concrete.

LINCOLN A test ot polentiial presidential strength in Nebraska will be held in the April 13 pri maries as a direct result of the efforts of the Nebraska Bi-partisan committee, sponsors of the "all-star" presidential primary. Petitions were filed today with Nebraska Secretary of State Marsh for President Truman on the Democratic ballot and on the Republican side, the six promin ently mentioned as possible Re publican nominees: Thomas E. Dewey, governor of New York; Douglas MacArthur, U. S. army general in charge of the Ameri can occupation of Japan; Joseph W. -Martin, Congressman from Massachusetts and speaker of the house of representatives; Harold E. ; Stassen, former governor of Minnesota; Robert A. Taft, U. S. Senator from Ohio; and Earl Warren, governor of California. The name of Sen. Arthur Vanden berg (Rep.,- O) is being delayed but will be entered. ; LINCOLN Albin T. Anderson, Democratic candidate for the U.S Senate said Tuesday that he will "investigate the filing" of Terry Carpenter for the same office, Carpenter and a Notary Public employee of his aledgedly "fixed" a sworn petition dated March 1, violating several laws by not cor rectly dating a sworn statement, for Carpenter was in New York on the date of the supposed state ment. State House attorneys ex pressed the opinion that if it could be conclusively shown that there had been no mistake made in the dates that Carpenter was in New York, the filing could be invalidated. Legal filings close March 4. International. JERUSALEM As a result of the British declaration Monday to use their weapons henceforth "im partially against whichever side is firing," British troops found themselves 'battling besides Jews Tuesday against Arab snipers dug in on hillsides commanding the Jerusalem Jaffa Road, a Jewish agency source reports. HELSINKI The social demo cratic and agrarian parties indi cated Tuesday that their parlia mentary delegations favored ne gotiating with Russia a twin decision which with the already declared communist stand appar ently gives the Soviet proposal a majority in parliament. E NIMBLE SPANIEL by Sam Warren In this inventive day and age the most needed contribution to scientific perfection is a glorified overshoe with golf-shoe cleats to prevent the twenty slips per day on glassy, snow-packed sidewalks left unshoveled around campus.. Particularly annoying are the walks on the north side of "T" street between 16th and 14th streets, and the south side of "R" street between 14th and 11th streets. Our particular pet peeve in this regard falls on the walks along University Episcopal church which are NEVER . shoveled after any snow, light or heavy. Four weeks ago, when alternate sunshine and snowfall resulted in ice-covered walks where snow had not been removed originally, the church fi nally employed one ambitious soul who spent several hours trying to chip away the ice from the church walks with a snow shovel. A broom would have worked twice as quickly four days before! Iron Curtain of Sex. Last night the iron curtain of sex segregation was wrung up and down on another Coed Follies, which like the P.E.O., could offer the unofficial slogan, "Petticoats enter only, pants entirely out." Considering the great amount of effort that goes into the produc tion and its explicit purpose of raising funds for A. W. S., one eanot help but ask why the show should not be open to the male population as well. The A. W. S. would make twice as much money and the skitsters would have the satisfaction of performing before a far larger group. And if there's any question about having to change the nature of the act, all we have to say is that the girls went to the Kosmet Klub fricas, didn't they? The fel las would take the follies as is, with no questions asked, how about it? Contemporary Art Featured. A student identification card is any student's passport to the 58th annual Nebraska Art Association exhibition now showing in Morrill Hall. (General admission, 30 cents). This year, as last, contempo rary American art highlights the exhibit. Acknowledged to be one of the Midwest's outstanding cul tural events, the display is assem bled each year from leading gal leries in the east by the university art galleries director, Dwight Kirsch. Especially intriguing this year are the pieces of sculpture placed in the galleries and the corridor. Milton Hebald's bronze "Jungle Gym," is so constructed that the four or five children s figures can be removed and replaced at differ ent positions on the cross-bars. When the Lincoln public school children are turned loose on the exhibit teachers will probably have to drag the tots away from "Jun gle Gym." Captivating, too, is Leo Ani- mo s translucent plastic piece, "Spring," whose two stylized fig ures manage to present both a whispy and a solid appearance. Berta Margoulies' bronze pierce, "Strike," packs considerable punch into the determined countenances of the three picketers.
