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.

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

moth, Kenneth Fitch and Keith

chairman, is sponsoring the trip.
The tournament, being held at
the University of Kansas, consists

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.

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.

Fay and "Harvey," and the rest

policy in connection with Arabian
oilfields. 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.

YM-YW Plans
Clothing Drive
To End May 2
The YWCA and the YMCA are
sponsoring a clothing drive in
order to help the many people in
the war-devastated countries. 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.
