NUCWA Members to Air Federal Law Proposals The opinions of students at Nebraska will be heard in the U. S. congress. NUCWA members will discuss three proposals, now before the federal lawmakers, at their monthly meeting Thursday at 7:30 p. m. in parlor Y, Union. The matters which NUCWA will consider are the Senate reso lution for strengthening the United Nations (Ferguson-Graham resolution), creation of an Atlantic union and development of the United Nations into a world federation. NUCWA will submit its opin ions on these issues to its parent organization, the Collegiate Council for the United Nations. CCUN will in turn testify before Congressional committees, pre senting Nebraska's view along with the views of other CCUN affiliates. Atlantic I'nion The creation of an Atlantic union, now being reviewed by the Thomas subcommittee, would mean the establishment of a fed eral government, but one re stricted to the democracies of western Europe and North Amer ica. NUCWA will also submit its opinion on the resolution offered by the United World Federalists in hearings which are devoted to a consideration of methods of strengthening the United Nations. The resolution states: I "It is the sense of the Congress j that it should be a fundametnal ! objective of the foreign policy of I the United States to support and j srengthen the United Nations and ' Eshelniaii Named Head Of Ag Displays Richard K. Eshelman, senior eg engineering student, has been named window display chairman ior Ag engineer's week to be held in connection with NU Engineer's week April 27-29. His appointment was made by Duane Hansen, general chair man of Ag engineer's week. i t t If- i A J ESHELMAN will head w dow display committees of E-week. in Ag Eshelman has named the theme of his displays as "Elec tricity and Its Application on the Farmstead," and plans to include such instructions as correct ap plications of wiring for farm equipment and homes. A senior, F.shclman is enrolled in Engineering college. He takes engineering courses with some special training in agricultural applications. Following gradua . lion he plans to work with the ItEA, Kural Electrification Asso ciation, or design farm machin ery or farm buildings. Previous work with Engineer's 'eck Includes two years on the window displays committee. Esh elman is a member of Ag YMGA, treasurer of the American So ciety of Agr 'cultural Engineers, and a member of the Ag Men's Social club. Although enrolled in Engineer ing college, Eshelman says he has remained close to the agri cultural field by being an Ag engineer. Duane Hansen, general chair man for Ag engineers, was er roneously listed as being regis tered In a? college in an earlier T?R(5 story. His registration shows him a member of Engineers college. to seek its development into a world federation, open to all na tions with defined and limited powers adequate to preserve peace and prevent aggression through the enactment, interpre tation and enforcement of world law." Senate Resolution The Ferguson-Graham resolu tion provides several steps for strengthening the UN. It calls for the United States to cooperate with other governments in re moving the veto from all ques tions involving pacific settle ments of international disputes and situations, and from admis sion of new members. The resolution would promote the immediate membership of all countries qualified for member ship under Article 4 of the UN charter to the end of making the United Nations universal. It would eliminate the reservations made by the United States to its acceptance of the optional clause of the statute of the International Court of Justice. It calls for ac ceptance by all countries of the optional clause without reserva tions, so as to give the court com pulsory jurisdiction in legal dis putes as defined in Article 36 of the statute. Armed Guard Further development of the armed guard force and field ser vice under the secretary-general would insure adequate protection to missions of the United States in the course of their operations. The Ferguson-Graham resolu tion would renew efforts, at a political level, to secure agree ment for the contribution of forces and assistance under the provision of Article 43 of the charter. This issue is one of those which will be considered by the model United Nations general as sembly when it meets March 17-24. The resolution would bring about the utilization by all UN members of suitable measures for collective self-defense under Ar ticle 51 of the charter as neces sary to maintain peace and se curity. The United Nations would have direct administration of certain disputed areas where such ad ministration would contribute to the peace of the world. I N Revenue The resolution also would bring about passage of appropriate legislation to facilitate the pro vision of independent sources of revenue for the United Nations in addition to the revenue pro vided by contributions from members. Support for the principals of the United Nations charter res pecting fundamental freedoms is another provision of the resolu tion. It would have the UN interna tional law commission prepare an international criminal code and a statute for an international crim inal court. Finally, the Ferguson-Graham resolution calls for a program of technical assistance to under developed countries through the United Nations. This is another issue which will be debated at the University's mock UN as sembly. It will be turned over to the economic and financial com mittee at the conference. A 1 DAY ONLY SUNDAY.

MAR. 1I-1I-1T KMO irNCOl.K BTTOIOS Combine of Brave' Six male students of the Uni versity will make their contri bution to the UNESCO program for March when they appear in the prize winning play, "Home of the Brave," Monday, March 13 at the Nebraska Theatre. To be presented in cooperation with the Model U N assembly program this month, the play is being sponsored by University Theatre and Nebraska Masquers. Winner of the New York Critics Circle Award or- 1945-46, the play was written by Arthur Laurient as a result of the last war. With UNESCO naming March as International Theatre Month, the play was chosen as an ideal choice dealing with brotherhood and human tolerance. Katx Directs Cast members are working un der the direction of Abe Katz, who also takes the lead part. They are Bill Line as the doctor, Mike Shanahan as Major Robin son, Milt Hoffman as Corporal Eeritt, Joe Moore as Sergeant Mingo, and Katz as "Cooney." Setting of the play is a Pacific island during World War II. Ac tion revolves about an army nivate, Peter "Coney" Coen, who suddenly becomes mentally distraught. He receives psychia tric assistance from an Army doctor and from Sergeant Min go's admissions to similar vul nerabilities and self weakness. I In an interview, Director Katz said, "With the forthright in telligence of Arthur Laurient, has evolved a play which sharp ly outlines the ignorance of bigotry and racial prejudice. This message is not striven for the playwright but emerges vividly from the people within the play and the accelerated tempo of the war situation in which they are engulfed." "Sound Drama" Continued Katz, "Its charac ters search for self-adjustment and the ever-present need for self justification." The director emphasized, "The play is sound psychological drama written in bold, striking modern realistic terms." As for technical aspects, the production staff will strive to make costumes and proper tics "functional and authenti cally realistic," according to ' Katz. The setting will be impres ! sionistic, highlighted by the use of unusual lighting to allow the audience to create whatever lm- ! pression they value for them selves. Tickets will be on sale from j Monday, March 6, until Monday, March 13. at the Union from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. and the Temple ! Theatre box-office from 1 p. m. until 5 p. m. Consultant Gives Marriage Advice "Marry a woman who knows more than you do" is the advice given to college men by War ren Bruner, management consul tant conducting an experimental course in career determination at Marietta College in Ohio. He said that a man tends to gain in mental stature as he progresses ir his work, but a woman does not when sn; enters a career as a homemaker. Bruner claims that many di vorces occur because men often seek a more compatible mate during middle life if their wives have had too little education.

Journalism Creative Writing Class Gains World Attention Nebraska's course in creative j thinking, the first of its kind, is reaching into far corners of the ! world, according to Prof. Rob ert P. Crawford. The course, taught by Profes sor Crawford, helps the student to secure new ideas in all fields. Although the course was orig inally designed for journalism students, it has now spread to many other fields. It is taught only the first semester. Jens Gram Barth. of Oslo, Norway, wrote Professor Craw ford to ask if the University would have any objection to use of Crawford's studies to develop creative thinking in that coun try. Barth said that altho he had made a year's tour of Amer- i ica which included Nebraska, he had first read of the course after his return to Norway. Bombay Author J. T. Martin, editor of India Publication in Bombay wrote to obtain information lor an article he wants to write on the subject. A benefactor of the University of Jerusalem wrote to obtain in formation on the creative think ing course for the university. Many inquiries have come from Canada, Mexico, South America and the West Indies. Crawford said that he believed that the reason for international From Gold's Sportswear Shop W.Si.

The form er may soon be used up while I the latter is not always appli ! cable to conditions elsewhere, i There is today a great premium j on original thinking, particularly : in the field of business." Not Creative ! Crawford said that he started the course over twenty years ago because he found that the aver age journalism student could not 1 create his own ideas after gradu ation. He said that he noted that tnose wri0 succeeded, whether or not they had had high grades, were those who could create something new, in ideas or ma terial. One large American corpor ation luvd all of Crawford's studies on creative thinking over the 20-year period in its re search laboratory. The Department of Defense has used some of Crawford's studies at the Air University in Ala bama.

National Smile Week is March 6-11. After one day's smiling, a sur vey showed that most Univer sity students were sick of the whole thing. "It's spring." sighed one coed, "and I'm too lazy to smile." Others objected that they couldn't see any reason to smile if they didn't have anything to smile about. "And what's there to smile about with all these six weeks tests," someone rejjiarked. Proof that people do smile, however, can be found in the picture at left. Bev Deal, sopho more coed, shows how it looks to radiate cheerfulness. (Mighty good, huh?) And on the right, last year's Innocent Prexy Norm Leger gives with his most Jnnocent scowl. (Note the correlation factor between smiles and suc cess in activities is hereby proved to be nil.) But for the rest of us, who aren't beautiful or Innocent, "Smile Week" offers some hope. According to chief-smiler Joe E. 'Schooner1' Appeared In Roaring Twenties The first issue of The Prairie Schooner was published 23 years ago, in 1927. It was born in the peak of the "roaring twen ties," the day when small maga zines sprang up everywhere. Some of these were the pulp kind, others literary journals, weeklies, and digests. The Schooner differed from the other magazines in that it was not an organ of some clique of organization. It was not a plaything of some rich man or foundation. It was not a side line of a big-time publisher who wanted to get in on the easy money. And since it had no motive other than literary expression, it survived the deary '30s while its fellow magazines died in great numbers from lack of funds. Some of them merged, others went bankrupt, and many des perately packed themselves with advertising or changed their content entirely. And all of this time the Schooner carried on, providing encouragement for amateur writers, and publishing contribu tions from successful writers who could have been paid large sums for their work from other magazines. The Schooner's first issue con tained a story by Marie Macum ber who later was to be known as I'arie Sandoz. now a famous novelist and author of "Crazy Horse" and "Old Jules." Cover Chances The quarterly has had three changes of cover, in 1937, 1940, and 1948. Each has carried the familiar symbol of the magazine, a picture of an ox-cart drawn covered wagon, which represents the pioneer-settled plains of Ne braska. Says Bess Streeter Aldrich of the Schooner's founding: "Any movement which attempts to further the advancement of the arts in Nebraska will always meet with the approval of her loyal thinking people."

The forthcoming spring issue of the magazine has articles from Alabama, Honolulu, New York, Iceland, Mexico, Texas, Maryland, and California. Nebraskans are still the most frequent contributors and the magazine is still clearly a Ne braskan publication. The Schooner ranks at the top of publications of its kind sub sidized as the others are. In the case of the Southwest review. Southern Methodist's official lit erary magazine, Dallas merchants raised $10,000 in a drive to keep the organ on its feet. Texan Influence Work in the Southwest review reflects Texan influence, and its pages display a representation of Texan lite. The Schooner, in contrast, though retaining intact its defi nite prairie character, has broad ened its scope to include many works by authors everywhere. In addition, the Schooner has no financial help other than the revenue from subscription sales. One reader who lives in Swit zerland wrote the Schooner to tell them that he prefers it over the Atlantic monthly and Har per's magazine as an interpre tation of American life. Over the years the magazine's staff has changed considerably. Lowell C. Wimberly, however, has remained as editor for 23 years. Emily Schossberger it currently the assistant editor in charge of publication. Says Miss Schossberger: "Many people know the Uni versity because it is the school where the Prairie Schooner is published." This proves the magazine's in fluence as a publicizer of the University of Nebraska. Lose that back with a valuable? Get Rag Classified. it should know! ? i Art Majnr.
