We can't put off the model United Nations genera
assembly any longer. Delegates have only a week in which,
to put the finishing touches on the store of information
which they have assembled for the conference. Students;
and faculty members who will participate in the assembly;
aa spectators have the same time to brush up on the issues;
which they will hear debated. I
Up to now delegates have gone to great lengths to
make the conference a success. They have supplied them-,
selves with the background information necessary for auth-
oritative discussion and voting. They are making an earnest
attempt to represent their nations accurately. They are
taking it upon themselves to have an understanding of
the rules of procedure and tnereDy insure 3...,.!-...,
conference. The enthusiasm they have shown makes them
worthy of sincere praise and seems to indicate the signifi
cance of the whole project.
But the problem doesn't lie wnn me ue ieKacca u. j
sponsors of the conference. From last years experiencei
with UNESCO meeting, we might anticipate the real stick-,
ler in the conference to come from the spectators Last'
year's legthargy was appalling. Spectators scarcely ac
counted for half of the conference participation It wasnt
that outsiders didn't know about the mode UNESCO meet
ing; it was just that they didn't care. All students admit,
the general unconcern toward national and international af-.
fairs, but most of them do nothing about it.
In a sense, the conference was just as sucessful with
out the spectators. Last year's delegates were just as
enthusiastic as this year's. They studied the issues, and
when the conference was over, they didnt feel they had,
wasted their time. They had seen how this branch of the
United Nations works, they had faced some of the same
problems UNESCO faces and they had acquired a taste of
what is meant by international cooperation. j
But in another sense, the conference failed. It failed in
that it could not reach ttose students and faculty members
who could profit most by it. Those who were active par
ticipants probably would have attended every session any
way. They are the type of people who recognize the need
for being informed on world affairs and do something
about it. Those who stayed home are the type of people,
who preach about the general lethargy toward international
affairs but who don't take heed to their own wise state-,
ments. They would have profited most by the conference,
in that they were the ones who needed the prodding to;
make international relations their own, personal business, j
NUCWA is not staging the model United Nations as-
sembiyjfor its own benefit. This organization is concerned
about educating the whole University. Every attempt is be
ing made to make the mock confernce an authentic r ...lica
of the actual assembly. A good understanding of the United
Nations is necessary to enlightened, progressive and peace
ful world relations. Surely anyone canee the advantages
even of being an on-looker at the model general assembly.
Even dismissing a few classes isn't too much out of the
picture. Those courses which are concerned with foreign re
lations might throw in the practical side of the matter in
cluding the conference. In fact, the project is worthy of dis-;
missal of other classes if the instructors see fit. :
At any rate, all students and all instructors are invited
to get this sample of international problems and coopera
tion. The model United Nations general assembly will be
time well spent.
Editorial Briefs
If appearances mean anything, chivarly is out-modedv
something to which the old fogies used to cling. But society,
has not laid it aside as an antiquated custom ; and as long
as we uphold its principles, we may as well put it to use.
The other day we saw an instructor pick up a stack of
books from the floor for one of his female students, while'
several of her classmates ran out of the room hel-bent-for-'
election. There probably are plenty of husky girls on the
campus who should be picking up books for the boys but
that is not the point. The instructor had not forgotten
those basic principles which underly the idea of courtesy.1
We are inclined to think that courtesy is not "old fogyinh."j
Those who say it is out-dated in this modern world are;
merely passing the buck for their general laziness. We've;
heard alot about courtesy lately, maybe it's been in the1
limelight so much that it's lost its emphasis. The courtesy,
campaign is not just another sceme. As we see each phase
of the campaign we must conside- it with personal mean
ing: How does this apply to me?
When Nebraska high school students arrive in Lincoln
for the state basketball tournament, the University Build
ers will be on deck to welcome them. It will be the begin
ning of a two-day pep conference to hash out the problems
of pep orgpuizations. Once again Builders takes the lead as
a service organization; as one of the University's most
active groups it certainly deserves a plug. Not only will
the prep students return to their home towns with new
ideas on pep leadership, but they also will have some new
ideas on University life. Builders couldn't have picked a
better name for themselves; they are building the reputa
tion of the University. Furthermore, when these students
come to Nebraska, they will be instilled with something
quite unfamiliar among University students, school spirit.
No matter how much a few leaders harp on the t abject,
their classmates seem to think it beneath them even to
hint that the University means something to them. Not
only will the Builders project develop potential University
material, but these high schoolers' enthusiasm might prove
contagious.
Now and then we get so deeply engrossed in studies
and other activities that we fail to take note of what the
University has to offer in the way of fine arts. Tonight
the Friends of Chamber Music will present their second
concert. It might be worth while for students and faculty
members to take time off to become acquainted with this
type of music and to absorb an apreciation of the fine
arts in general.

..."
By Arthur J. Vennix
You probably wouldn't search
very far to find someone to agree
enthusiastically that "history is
the dullest subject in the world."
And yet, when you regard the
steady flow of
new history
books you
realize that
not everyone
feels that way.
Take as an
example The
odore C. Blen
en, a professor
j the Univer
I 1 f ' 1 sil' of Minne-
sota. In 1947
Blcccn pub
lished a book titled "Grass Roots
History" (Social Studies Read
in Room, 917.3 B6lg). To even
the non-lover of history, his slen
der volume makes interesting
r idiiiE,
Blrk-en, an many other histor
ians do, goes to the source for
material. He has examined hun
dreds of personal letters from
pioneers to their folks at home
in "the old country." Most of
these are from early Norwcirian
Amerieans to their kinfolk in
Norire.
What hiippens to the laiiKunRP
habits of early settlers? IJow did
the pioneers leel about such
strange oecurrenees as the loss of
their entire families in Indian
massacres? How did Minnesota
happen to become a paradise for
tourists? What did the colonists
of two or three generations ago
have on their bookshelves by
way of reading material?
These are interesting questions.
Their answers are essential to our
comprehension of our funda
mental "four freedoms." When
they are accurately and fascin
atingly recorded, as they are in
"Grass Roots History," they make
pleasurable "the dullest subject
in the world."
That the spirit of the times is
reflected in the publishing busi
ness has been particularly evi
dent following the two great
wars. Alter each there has been
a flood of printed material deal
ing with mental attitudes, with
the causes of physical and spir
itual unrest.
One of the notable volumes In
the present blooming; rrop is
Harry A. Overstreet's "The .Ma
ture Mind" (Sooial Studirs Read
iiiR Koom. 13B.52 Ov2m). It is
an example of psychology for tl-
layman. It has been near the top
of the best seller list for many
months, and has been read by
several hundred thousand people.
Overstrcet points out many
signs of immaturity in adult
hood. An unsensible reaction to
fear as a weapon in the hands
of politicians, economists, histor
ians rimlomnts. and so forth, is an
example. When a university stu-
dent removes books from a li- ,
brarv without benefit of charg-
ing them out, or when he mutil- J
atcs a volume, he is exhibiting
immaturity. !
Too much has been written
about "The Mature Mind" to
warrant a more complete review
in this column. Suffice it to say
that in fewer than 300 pages
Overstieet has packed a thou-
sand and one thoughts and ideas j
that may profitably be read and I
analyzed and assimilated by all
men and women of university
stature. '
Did you know that the first
African slaves were brought to
the earlv colonies on a ship
named "Jesus." In the light of
today's thinking about freedom,
this fact certainly creates an ac- j
rimonious taste. But the think- j
ing of a few centuries ago was !
not identical with that of today. I
Earl Conrnd is a newspaper-
man. He has spent a great pro- i
portion of his working hours
studying and reporting on Amor- 1
minnritv eroups. His prin- :
cipal emphasis has been on the
Negro, or "the people of color
as he freouently refers to them
in "Jim Crow America," (Social
Studies Reading Room, 326.973
C7G3j).
This isn't the usual type of
book befriending the Negro It
doesn't nresent endless case his
tories of riots and atrocities. Con
rad hasn't attempted, in this vol
ume, to make "white America
1.1....W ,-r:iu.l because of the
treatment accorded minority
groups. . ,
"Jim Crow America points
out to the Negro those areas i in
which the Negro Is at fault. The
lark of unity among minority
groups, the renunc.ation of then
own people by some who would
rise above the bourgeoisie, the
threat to accept communism, are
several of the tendencies which
Conrad decries.
This pronuncio of Conrad s is
a remarkably impersonal view of
the condition of minority groups
in the United States today. With
out question, many ofjhe state-

in view of the author's aflilia
