NU Science
Gets $15,760
To Fight Polio
A March of Dimes grant of
$15.7G0 will enable University
scientists to continue a research
study as part of the fight against
infantile paralysis.
Announcement of the grant was
made jointly by Basil O'Conner,
president of the National Foun
dation for Infantile Paralysis, and
Chancellor R. G. Custavson.
The study, being conducted
under the direction of Dr. A. R.
Mclntyie, professor of physiology
and pharmacology at the Univer
sity College of Medicine, concerns
the chemical and biologic changes
in muscles undergoing degenera
tion due to impairment of nerve
supply.
Once the chemical and biologic
changes in degenerative muscles
are determined, the investigation
will turn to a logical means of
controlling or preventing the
changes. The ultimate object of
the investigation is the reduction
of the crippling after-effects of
infantile paralysis.
Teacher-Student Exchange
Bill Approved at Session
Although Ted Sorensen's gavel rapped the end of the
model UNESCO conference Friday afternoon, its work is
not finished.
The resolution, proposed by the United Kingdom and
unanimously adopted, recommended that a delegation or
committee be set up to discuss another conference of this
type next year.
The last session of the three-day conference passed a
Dr. McKeon' s
Speech
i mioses
Model Session
Dr. Richard McKeon told dele
gates at the closing session of the
model UNESCO conference Fri
day that the success or failure of
UNESCO will be determined by
the efforts of ordinary people
all over the world.
Nebraska's three-day "working
model" of UNESCO is one small
part of an international struggle
fcr understanding that can lead
to lasting peace. Dr. McKeon,
dean of humanities at University
of Chicago, said.
"I'VE HEARD it said that the
purposes of UNESCO are vague,"
McKeon said. "The truth is that
the ideas many people have about
UNESCO are vague."
McKeon pointed out that
UNESCO has a clear cut seven
point program which operates on
30 projects.
One particular accomplishment
has been the publication of an
international directory on fellow
ships, he continued. This, McKeon
said, enables students to find out
what studies ore available in uni
versities throughout the world,
what the requirements are and to
whom to write for information.
MeKEON read a telegram from
Walter H. C. Laves, deputy gen
eral of the United Nations which
sent "all good wishes on your
conference" and extended con
gratulations to the student body
and to Dr. R. G. Gustavson on
the conference.
"The future of the UN depends
on finding means by which
UNESCO can be brought into con
tact with the minds of people of
the world," McKeon believes.
Animal Science
Club Members
Hear Howard
Rufus M. Howard, chairman of
the state Department of Agricul
ture, was the guest speaker at a
combined meeting of the animal
science clubs Thursday night,
according to Bob Hamilton, pres
ident of Block and Bridle.
The meeting was under the
supervision of Gene Jensen rep
resenting Block and Bridle.
IN HIS TALK, Mr. Howard
discussed the duties of his office.
He said the main objective of his
office was the promotion of agri
cultuie as an industry in Nebras
ka. He also stated that his duties
include enforcing regulatory
laws and helping in the organ
ization of the 80 weed districts
of the state.
After the combined meeting
the three clubs, Dairy, Block and
Bridle and Poultry, retired to
individual rooms to conduct their
business.
The next meeting of the clubs
will be Thursday, March 10.
Ag Union to Begin
Weekly Mixers
Hour dances will start again
this week at Ag college. The
new series of dances, sponsored
by the Ag Union, will be held
every Wednesday from 5 to 6
p. m., according to Ernest Rousek,
publicity chairman.
Music for the weekly mixers,
to be held in the recreation room
of the Ag Activities building, will
be furnished by Muzak.
resolution to provide for teacher
and student exchange thru a
world-wide issue of UNESCO
stamps and rejected an interna
tional language and an education
proposal.
CZECHOSLOVAKIA asked for
a resolution, combining two pro
posals on the agenda, calling for
re-allocation of funds provided by
a world-wide issue of a UNESCO
stamp to be used for an interna
tional student and teacher ex
change. The motion was the re
sult of a compromise between
Bolivia and Czechoslovakia, the
proponents of the separate bills.
Mexico proposed that nations
whose citizens derive private gain
from the exploitation of the nat
ural resources of another country,
should be urged to aid materially
in the education of the country
exploited. Belgium pointed out
that this yas an infringement of
national sovereignty and more
appropriate for the action of the
trusteeship council.
NORWAY MOVED that the
proposal be postponed indefinitely.
Poland seconded the motion on
the grounds that stronger action
should be taken against imperial
ism. The motion was passed, kill
ing the resolution.
A second Mexican proposal that
Spanish be adopted as an interna
tional language was countered by
amendments in favor of English,
"phonetic" English, French and
Esperanto. The amended proposal,
making English the major inter
national language, failed to re
ceive the necessary two-thirds
majority.
AN ANALYSIS of the action of
the conference was presented at
the close of the session by Dr.
Albert Rosenthal of the Univer
sity of Denver. He judged the
conference on four points:
1. Attitude: Was that of courtesy
and respect.
2. Organization: Was illustrated
by the well-planned agenda, clear
understanding of issues and good
compromises.
3. Proceedure: Was excellent
because of close adherence to
parliamentary proceedure and the
fine work of the moderator,
Sorensen.
4. Follow-up: Was provided for
by the United Kingdom resolu
tion. Guys and Gals
To Learn New
Square Steps
Hey pardner! Lasso yo'sclf a
gal and bring her over to the
Union next Wednesday evening
along about half past seven.
There's gonna be a real big square
dance that you won't wanna miss.
It doesn't make any difference
if you don't know all sorts of
fancy-like dos-a-do's" and "alle
mande rights," cuz there'll be a
teachin' fellow to show you all
that there stuff. In plain English,
the Union's giving lessons in
square dancing. And who knows
you may get as hep to a fiddler
and "swing yer partner" as you
do to Tex Beneke or Gene Krupa.
The last get-together we had
was lots of fun. Even the folks
that were just learning were real
ly jiggin' it away. The fiddler
had lots o' trouble trying to keep
the bow from burnin' up, and the
caller's voice got so hot we had
to open the windows to keep from
bein' scalded.
So, when next" Wednesday rolls
around, be shore to high-tail it
over to the Union ballroom. Don't
forget that ya can come with or
without yer pardner, cuz there'll
be lotsa fellers and ga!: there.
Don't be a square be a tquare-dancer.
