Danish AretaBecS'
Lars Marnus, Danish architect, will be guest speaker
for the department of architecture Wednesday, May 12,
at 3:30 p. m. in Love Library auditorium. '
Th Danish dftsimer will lecture on the "rationalist"
movement in architecture in
talk will be accompanied by
which show the evolution of a
modern or functional style from
the strict neo-classic design which
has been customary in Scandi
navian countries and Finland.
Sponsored by Danes.
Arriving in New York several
months ago, Marnus has been lec
turing at various state universi
ties and conferring with fellow
architects, among them Frank
Lloyd Wright, famed American
designer. His tour is sponsored
under the auspices of the Danish
government
In lectures at other schools
and colleges, Marnus has ex
pressed his modernistic ideas on
the industrialization of house
building. He explains that since
housing is, at present, the only
kind of building going on in his
country, as well as in America,
it should be made to keep pace
with the progress of other com
modities. He is deeply interested
in substituting for high tene
ments low housing units that will
provide easier access to the out
doors for mothers and children.
Lists Improvements.
He describes today's house as
"a heaping up of obsolete and
halfway modern materials."
Among his listed improvements
are the extensive use of synthetic
materials which are now made
completely fireproof, and the do
ing away with useless woodwork
which is only an excuse to cover
bad construction.
He will also outline in detail
the use of reinforced concrete
to make for new, more grace
ful lines in dwellings, as well as
industrial buildings. The sys
tematic production of every build
ing detail, which the Danish
architect advocates, should make
the machine-made house quicker,
better and cheaper, through the
use of new materials and methods
designed to fit specific needs of
the occupants.
Four Aspects of US-Russian
Questions Explained in Forum
BY JERRY ROESLER.
Nebraska students demonstrated
Tuesday night that this is one of
the most democratic sections of
the country by the absence of
heckling or any attempts to break
up the Y.M.C.A. forum held in
Love Library, according to Cur
tiss Elliott, moderator of the
forum.
Speaking on the question, 'Can
We Have Peace With Russia?,"
were: Dean of Law college Fred
erick K. Beutel; Rev. C. B. How
ells, Baptist student pastor and a
chaplain with the First army dur
ing the war; Milo W. Price, in
structor in political science at the
university; and Richard Criley,
communist party member, for
merly a captain on General Eisen
hower's staff.
Advocates 'Get Tough' Policy.
Dean Beutel advocated the "get
tough with Russia" policy. He
stated that the only language the
Russians understand is force, so
we must use force against them.
According to Beutel, the Russians
favor the overthrow of existing
governments thru force. As far as
letting the United Nations deal
with Russia, Dean Beutel says
that organization cannot even
scare the Arabs out of Palestine.
Mr. Price said that the only
concrete program to peace is the
United Nations, and that there
will be wars as long as independ
ent states maintain armies and
navies, since armed forces cer
tainly do not inspire nations' corv
. fidence in each other. : (

Friendship Dinner
Set for May 7
All foreign students on the
campus are invited" to attend the
International Friendship dinner,
May 7, according to Bev Sievers,
religious welfare head.
The dinner, sponsored by the
Religious Welfare Council, is to
be held in the Green Room of
the city YMCA and will begin
at 6:30. Dinner will be an informal
affair with the American and
foreign dishes presented as a
smorgasbord.
The original plan stated that
each foreign student would come
as the individual guest of a spe
cific student or faculty member.
However, in order to be sure that
each foreign student is invited,
the Religious Welfare Council is
issuing an invitation to each and
every foreign student on campus
to attend the dinner.
Although a blanket invitation
has been issued, the council hopes
that students and faculty will
still continue asking foreign stu
dents individually, for in this
way personal friendships and un
derstandings will be promoted.
have not brought peace, and there
is no reason to believe that the
next one will. Price stated that
the present United Nations is a
weak attempt to preserve peace,
since it is based on the principle
of sovereign equality of nations,
but that the United Nations might
lead to world government.
Hits Russian "Distrust.''
Reverend Howells described in
cidents to prove that early as one
week after VE day, Russia dis
trusted the. United States. He was
with the American troops that
contacted the Russians in Ger
many. As a result. Reverend How
ells questions the sincerity of the
Russians. He deplored the rapid
demobilization of the U. S. army
and navy after war, for we must
have a strong army, navy and air
force to maintain the peace. He
said that the Truman policy is a
step in the right direction.
Mr. Criley stated the United
States government does not want
peace, and has sabotaged relations
between nations. He scored U. S
policy in Greece, China, Italy,
Korea, Palestine and Spain. He
also accused us of favoring the re
vival of Germany with Hitler's
cohorts and aides. He stated that
the masses all over the world are
refusing to subscribe to the pre
war world order, and are demand
ing land reforms and the nation
alization of industries.
Strong student interest in the
question was evidenced by the
question session, which lasted
until the audience was forced out
by the closing of the library.

partment affair.
