PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Thursday, April 28, 1949 Seventh Hour . The Student Council is out! At least for all practical purposes it seems to have been disposed of. The Council in its present form will con tinue to exist and perform routine duties but it's a man without a future. With the abolition of Council elections by the faculty a way of government has disappeared. What will happen next is best expressed by the classic remark "Nobody knows." Since student self-determination has bitten the dust, at least tempoararily, only one form of expression is left to the student body. That form is the Constitutional As sembly which will begin holding sessions on Tuesday. Since the Council did not succeed in devising a means of self-perpetuation the burden of providing a method of student government rests on the shoulders of the delegates to the Constitutional Assembly. It rests even more heavily on the shoulders of the students these delegates will repre sent. If a plan for student government is to come from students, this is the moment. The time is short. The need is urgent. The Constitutional Assembly has always been an op portunity for student expression. It now becomes a last ditch stand. Either students develop a sound workable fu ture for selves or one will be developed for them. Student government on the Nebraska campus has a long and remarkably untroubled history. Revisions in that government's plans have always come from the ranks of the students. The end of a long and valuable tradition may be near. The opportunity for students to rise to the occasion is here. It is an opportunity to build a better future out of past failures. It is an opportunity, but a fleeting one. It must be seized and acted upon or the years of careful building and friendly cooperation will be brushed aside. Student government has been on trial. It has lost the case. There is only one appeal. M. J. Melick. Magi E Week On Display at Open House Did you ever see a golf ball that shatters when dropped to the floor? Or a machine in which you can see your heart beat? Or a television broadcast? Or a model train that will obey your com mands to start and back up? Or a gadget that makes a rapidly whirling flywheel look like its standing still? These and many other marvels of science and engineering will be on display at the college of engi neering and architecture annual "open house" Thursday from 1 p. m. to 11 p. m. In addition to the "maeic" of science, there will be many more exhibits designed to show the teaching program of the college, and the problems which engineer ing has solved or is now struggling to solve. NU-Sends Four To Bridge Meet Neil Atkinson, John McDer moth, Kenneth Fitch and Keith Fftch will represent Nebraska in the Big 7 Bridge Tournament in Laurence, Kansas, this weekend, April 29 and 30. The competitive games committee with Pat Bussey as sponsor and Dave Slusher, chairman, is sponsoring the trip. The tournament, being held at the University of Kansas, consists of four representatives from each school. A cup, whfch was donated to the tournament from Nebraska University, will go to the win ning school. f JJl0J1L iltSL I BY NORMA CIIUBBUCK ANOTHER STEP toward lift ing the Berlin blockade was taken as American and Russian repre sentatives met in New York to discuss the problem. U. S. hopes were centered on the possibility of Russia being willing to lift the blockade without unacceptable conditions. IN WASHINGTON, Secretary of State Acheson asked Congress to approve both the North At lantic Treaty and the proposed $1,450,000,000 arms aid program to bolster "world-wide security." Acheson said the Atlantic pact will bind the United States to the principle of "self-help and mutual aid." The Secretary said that if a senator votes to ratify the pact itself, the senator would be "less free" to oppose arms aid for Europe. UTILITIES executive Curtis E. Calder agreed to become Secre tary of the Army, to succeed Ken neth Royall. He says he will be ready to take over the post within 60 days. A PESSIMISTIC note was sounded by Chaing Kai-shek as he returned to the battle against communism Wednesday when he forecast a third World War if China is lost to the Communists. He believes his country would be the "tinderbox," and would fur nish the men for the third war if Chinese Communists take over the government. THE "BATTLE of the normal schools" continued, with the four schools desiring expansion win ning another round. Amendments designed to attach some strings to any expansion program of the four schools were defeated by the legislature Wednesday. The nor mal school liberal arts bill has been advanced from select file to final reading on a voice vote. The proposed 2 percent sales tax bill was killed by the legisla ture by a 30 to 12 vote. This is the first session that a sales tax has reached general file. In the past they have been killed by committee action. Ten state senators agreed to back two bills relating to the supervision of the state highway department, thus the governor's proposed highway revenue pro gram was virtually assured of passage.

MII.ICK Happy Birthday . . . NU's yearling the Red Cross College Unit. Today the Red Cross Unit will celebrate its first birthday, com memorating its first 365 days at NU. First years are usually taken up with beginnings, grow ing pains and developments. Not until after the end of the first year is the yearling ready to take on new and useful ideas of life. Not so with the Red Cross College Unit. After a successful start last spring, the Unit cast off all clumsy neophyte ways and began immediately upon a program for its life here. Now that the first year has passed, Red Cross can look back on its accomplishments parties for orphans and veterans; a motor corps that provides transportation for swimming instructors, .handicapped children and first aiders; a regulation first aid course offered for about 50 students; a swimming instructors course for men. Yet this provides only an outline of Unit activities, keeping Red Cross members busy in their work for humanity. To the Red Cross College Unit a happy birthday and many happy returns. Your organization dedicated to deeds of mercy and service has a place on this campus permanently. Louise McDill 'Harvey Spends Today in Lincoln "Harvey," the six-foot invisible rabbit, will be in Lincoln today for two performances of Mary Chase's Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Accompanying "Harvey" will be Frank Fay, originator of the lead ing role on Broadway. Fay and "Harvey," and the rest of the original New York cast will give two performances of the play Thursday at the Stuart thea ter. A matinee and evening per formance will be given. KK Show a a .

Someone remembered to ring down the final curtain, alter the entire cast moved on stage for a number rather philo sophically titled "Women, Women, Women." NOT ALL OF "Let s Change the Subject" was ennui. A take off on the traditional changing of the guard at Buckingham, in the first act, was riotiously per formed by cast members fn Ter shing Rifle uniforms and others in Scottish garb. Larry Veta and Herm Shy ken deserved the en core they got when they imperso nated two maids in their "Tea for Two" dance routine. Johnny Cox and his tuneful orchestra rendered accompani ments to the show's lyrics. Solo mon's music seemed considerably more inspired than his words or dialogue. Generally, however, it was quite obvious, directly after the first curtain of "Let's Change the Subject," that the show's title might have proved a pregnant suggestion.

The drive opened April 15 and will close May 2. It will be reopened from May 25 to June 3. Winter clothing will be the object of the first drive. In this way the bulk of the winter clothing can be packed and sent before school is out. Particularly usable in this first drive are coats, jackets, substan tial shoes, and any extra blankets. Also men's and women's sweaters and jackets, warm gloves, and scarves, boots and galoshes which are in useable condition, and dresses. Dress clothes are suitable with the exception of toeless, heeless shoes and sheer, backless formals which cannot easily be remade. The clothes turned in should be in fairly good condition. Torn or very dirty clothing cannot be used. The YWCA will welcome vol unteers who are willing to help pack and sort clothes, for people who have received clothes from church and Y groups have ap preciated the care with which they were sent as well as the ac tual clothes. It is important to get this basi cally heavier type of clothing in as soon as possible. Any winter clothing should not be put aside but instead put into the YW and YM clothing boxes and turned in at Ellen Smith hall.
