In the 1870's, when the University first awine light of day, enrollment never surpassed 67 Btudents. But in the La':n school, registration went as high as 198. In the beginning emphasis was on the classics. Today we stress a practical education. Cultural and aesthetic values have not be forgotten, but today we are offered a cnance ior nrartiral knowledge. The movement began in the latter part of the Nineteenth century in the eastern schools, the coal of which was educational reform, spread throughout the United States. io longer were we .maaLuig muiu.

Fl'ENNING A part of the current courtesy campaign, but a big part, is being emphasized by Lincoln citizens who have opened their doors to entertain foreign students. Lin colnites have always been hospitable to our overseas stu dents, however, and the stress on courtesy has merely drawn attention to their generosity and kindness. Their motives are the same as those which have brough the Religious Welfare council and other organizations to es tablish the Nebraska tradition of an International Friend ship dinner. Foreign students and American students dined together and became better acquainted at the annual event last fall. Early in March they will again be entertained at another International Friendship dinner. Nebraska faculty members as well as students join to promote, not just an Dionship tournament is scheduled for Feb. 28, according to "Higgle Higgenbottom, Ag phys-ed and intramural director. Come next Monday night to the "civil war out here" is to be in the open, acortling to Higgie, when the A.G.R. and F.H. basketball teams battle for supremacy. This is a non-league contest which ought to be a thriller. The College of Agriculture is to be recognized in the near fu ture. Mary Chase and Rex Crom of the Ag Exec board visited Dean Lambert last Saturday with regard to the recognition. The Dean has four or five de signs from which one will be made into two signs appropriate to be placed at each of the main entrances to the campus. They will read "College of Agricul ture . ." After this, some Ag student' might not have to shout so loud to be recognized. All peo ple will have to do is look. And then the "feminine pulch ritude" of Loomis hall comes thru with the workings of a "thoroughbred" popcorn variety which delivers the dripping tid bits ready popped, buttered, salted and sacked.

Tar get of the pact was Ja pan, hence, General Mac Arthur's Far Eastern head quarters, plus western diplo mats through out Asia were S silent. rf the treaty, signed in Moscow by Russian Foreign Minister Vishinksky and Communist Chinese Foreign Minister Chou Enlai is aimed at curbing "aggression" by Japan and all foreign powers "directly or indirectly" connected with Japan. At present, the United SUtes, Britain, Nationalist China and Russia occupy Japan. The pact was the result of two months of negotiation in Moscow and was aimed at strengthening the economic and cultural tics of Russia and Red China. It provides for a Russian loan of 300 million dollars to China over the next five years to be used for the purchase of ma chinery and supplies from Rus sia. Important feature is the provision that either nation wiU , come to the aia of the other if either is attacked. The pact also provides that In tn-o years Russia will hand over the Red Chinese and South Man churian Railway, now operated by the Russians. Russia also promises to hand over the Port of Dairen and to withdraw troops from Port Arthur. These It could happen here and has in the past.

Students Back British Doctor The Czech radio declared Sun day that all British students studying at Prague's Charles uni versity had signed a proclama tion supporting Dr. Arna Rides in condemning the British Coun cil as a tool of the "hostile" pol icy of the British Foreign Office. The radio claimed that the students, whe were there on scholarships, expressed approval of Dr. Rides' action in quitting her job as medical advisor to the British Council, a cultural group. They also expressed approval of her asking the Communist-led government to let her remain here and continue her work in beha'.f of the country. The number of students In volved was not told. Dr. Rides resigned from the British Coun cil last Saturday. She said that she was doing so because she had become convinced that "the future certainly lies on this side, nnrtoH In h nut On Strike With guaranteeing women no more j ue) reservef cntically low in than seven seats on the Coun- ( some parlJ 0f the United States, cil, with both sexes voting only j sute and Local for their own sex. To this motion Rod Lindwall replied, "I would hate to vote on any motion which would de prive women on mis campus ui the joys of politics. There is a distinct possibility that the Coun cil of 1951 would have only one lone female." Betty Green presented Pan hellcnic's view of women in pol itics by saying, "Panhellenic is in favor of any kind of parties." This was met with an enthusias tic burst of applause. 'Party' Girls Another opinion was stated thus: "The report has come back from the party girls that they have a party. If there are fixed sex ratios it will remove the nec essity of girls organizing into a party." Bob Raun stated, "If the wo men don't want to organize po litical parties, I say let them stay clear out of politics and the Student Council." Similar views wert expressed by Council members such as, "With fixed sex ratios girls could get out of political parties," and "As long as girls keep their hant' off politics, they should keep them entirely off."

Three full time doctors are employed by the center besides a staff of registered nurses. Spe cialists in practically every held of medicine are at the center from two hours a day to two hours a week. Available Specialists. Specialists available to stu dents are: skin, eye, ear, nose and throat doctors, orthopedists, gynecologists, urologists, neurolo gists, allergist, psychiatrist, ra diologist, an internist and a gas troenterologist for' stomach and intestinal ailments. Dr. Fuenning, director of the Student Health center, said that in the majority of cases, the most expensive work in medical care is the diagnostic work re quired for a patient. The center is set up to handle all medical ills except major surgery and the results of serious acidents. In these instances, a patient is referred to a hospital of his choice for treatment. A hospital has been set up on the second floor to handle con tagious diseases and acute ill nesses. Medical attention is available to students 24 hours a day at the center, but limited to emergency cases after clinic hours. Preventive Medicine. The entire health program is based on preventive medicine, and Dr. Fuenning stated, "One of the main reasons for a pro gram like this is for its educa tional values." The new program, established by Dr. Fuenning, has been in effect approximately two years. It has averaged 108 daily clinic calls in the past year.

(Continued from Page 1.) to the furtherance of the objec tives stated above. Discussion of the question of resources will involve such issues as what resources are available for development, the cost, where the funds will come from and technical knowledge necessary tor such a project. Trade Expansion of Indonesia's trade relations may involve these prob lems: ( 1 ) Formation of a South East Asia customs union, (2) en couragement of urban industrial development, (3) land tenure, (4) promotion of self sufficiency and (5) promotion of the flow of food from surplus areas to deficit areas. Continuance of Indonesian ex ports of vital materials will con cern a possible clash between maintenance of exports and land redistribution. It may also bring up the problem of cartel ization and price and the question of balance of payment. The fourth possible issue, re settlement of population, would bring up for debate such matters as treatment of primitive popu lation, adaptability of surplus population to the areas of deficit population, land tenure and the problem of determining which groups should be moved to new areas. The Indonesian issue will be turned over to the economic and finance committee at the mock assembly next March. Lois Nel son is chairman lor the commit tee, and Bill Dugan will act as vice chairman. Three other UN committees will be working at the time of the conference. They are: po litical and security; social, hu manitarian and cultural and trusteeship. Police Force The political and security com mittee will meet the problem of establishing a UN police force as provided for in the charter and increasing the force in power and size. To the social, humani tarian and cultural committee will come a proposal by Russia or one of the Soviet satellites that UNESCO be abolished. The trusteeship committee will consider making South West Af rica a trust territory. A hypo thetical proposal which this com mittee might also consider will be made by Russia or one of the natellites that the U, S. trustee ship agreement for the Pacific islands be amended so that the United States could not use the islands for military bases. First Session The model United Nations general assembly will convene for its first plenary session on Friday afternoon, March 17. The keynote speaker for the confer ence will addres sthe delegates that afternoon .and work will be assigned to the four commit tees. March 18. 21 and 22 Sat urday, Monday and Tuesday will be set aside for the commit tees to discuss the issues. On Monday afternoon all delegates will assemble together to hear the second conference speaker before going into committee ses sions. On Wednesday, March 23, delegates will attend the plenary session which will set off three days of debate and voting on the issues which come out of the committee meetings. The third conference speaker will open these final sessions. The three conference speakers will be announced in The Daily Nebraskan in the near future. Ted Sorenson will act as chair man for the conference plenary sessions. Sorenson also presided last year at the meetings of the mock UNESCO conference.

Procrastination, one of the biggest stigmas on the face of a college career, is responsible more than any one thing for poor grades and poor mental health of the col lege students. One of the most familiar types of procrastination in which the students indulge is the habit of cramming. The student puts off reading the reference work that the professor has assigned, or he neglects to read the text material. Then before he knows it, the term is drawing to a close, and there is but one thing ' ft to do, cram. While the habit of cramming is an old college prac tice, it is certainly one of the most harmful and senseless. It is generally agreed by physicians and scholars that a student can not do his best work after staying up all night cramming with the coffee pot and benzedrine tablets by his side. A student must have a clear mind in order to have it functioning right and to do the best work. The result, then, of a man who stays up cramming is quite disastrous when he enters the classroom the morn ing after such a session. The student's brain is clouded from the need of sleep, and the things that have been hashed over during the night are not clear and concise in the mind as they should and could be with efficient study methods. He actually thinks that he has accomplished a great deal during the night, but in reality the student is fooling himself. Another practice equally as familiar as cramming is the student who puts off writing his papers until the last minute. It seems strange that college students are so extremely proficient in this line. They tell themselves that the end of the quarter is far away and what is the use of starting a paper now. They procrastinate until the term's end is once more upon them and then begin long sessions in the library trying to find mountains of references and digest them. Then they discover to their amazement that the writing isn't quite as easy as they had supposed. The references are mulled over, and facts (usually just any facts) are pulled out. The result is the same as in cramming, the paper is poorly written, and the trend of thought is broken or garbled. The professor isn't fooled either, for it isn t hard to tell the paper that has had weeks of preparation and research and the one that has had only a few days or hours. So take stock in yourself, "for time waits for no man." Daily Utah Chronicle. Wanted: A Job (Editor's note: The following item is an exrrpt from the Georgia Tech student newspaper. The Technique.) There is one course which vitally concerns all of us that is not being taught at Georgia Tech. Its name might be "How to Obtain a Job." Students generally begin to talk earnestly about the job situation as they enter their senior year. One hears stories about declining salaries, laying-off of workers and over-crowded fields. All of this spells UNCERTAINTY, and uncertainty can only be overcome with knowledge. To be more specific, I propose a course to be taught by the psychological department, since it should be ap proached from the psychological viewpoint. It would teach being positive; that is, it would present scientific methods of choosing a definite company in a particular field, of picking the exact job in that company and of proving one's userulness to tne company in that job. In short, the man who knows what he wants and goes after it has a tre mendous advantage over the man who does not. Even if no credit were given and the class met or!y once a week, the principals to be learned from such a course might eventualy prove to be more beneficial thin many of the others, because they can not only be applied to job-hunting but also to every pursuit in life. Kenton Tickets Low for Students Reduced studnt ticket prices of $1.20 for the Stan Kenton concert are only effective if pur chased before the performance, according to Wendy Cauger, ticket sales chairman. The 60-cent reduction is of fered to students only and are on sale In Ag and city Union offices and booths and in the Social Science building. General admission the night of the performance, Feb. 22, will be (1.80. Cauger advises students to buy their tickets early, both to insure admission to the concert and for the 60-cent savings. Which Little Eire Do Went to Market A research project on the ef fect of eggs taken to market from farm storage is being studied at the University. Researchers say the project has particular significance because of government egg purchases un der the price support program. Co-operating in the project ar Agricultural Engineer. F. D. Yung, Poultry Husbandrymaa I. L. Williams and J. W. Coble, marketing specialist. The researchers said they will study the problems of sweating, which occurs when eggs are sub jected to temperature change. The bacterial infection of clean and dirty eggs also will be investigated.
