And now, through the special arrangcemnts of the Mortar Boards, Lowell Thomas jr., is including Lincoln in his nationwide lecture tour. We feel that this is entertainment you cannot afford to miss. It is more than a movie or a stage show. It is adventure, mystery and romance. Nowhere else will you get such a lantastic story of a forbidden land. The lecture will be illustrated by a color film showing the Lama with their strange costumes, traditions and in credible ceremonies. The lecture film wilL be held on March 22 at 8:15 p.m. in St. Pauls Methodist church. iicKets may De obtained from Tassels or at a booth in the Student Union. Sincerely, The Black Masque Chapter of Mortar Board Lowell Thomases Label Tibefl 'Never-Never Land' A visit to the never-never land of Tibet will be offered to Uni versity and Lincoln residents, March 22. when Lowell Thomas, junior, presents his motion pic ture lecture of his recent expedi tion. Sponsored by the Mortar Board vttmm 1 Men With 'Know-How' . . . Here's a golden opportunity if we ever saw one. The model United Nations general assembly offers experience which few people have the fortune to obtain. It offers a chance to hear from men who have had close contact with the actual United Nations, men who know how the UN works and the problems it must face. William Agar, chief of the section for lectures and educational liaison of the UN department of public in-j formation, will start the conference rolling with his report of the seccrtary-general. Few men are better qualified to speak on the UN's job in this field than Mr. Agar. At the end of the First World War, as a result of his experience in Europe, he was a firm believer in international co-operation. His work in natural resources led him to see even more clearly the basic interdependence of all nations and the dangers inherent in isolation. With the outbreak of World War II, it was almost inevitable that Mr. Agar join with others working to assure American co-operation in the defeat of the Axis. As one of the founders and an ac- tive worker in the Fight for Freedom committee and later in Freedom house, he devoted his time to lecturing and writing in connection with the meaning of war, the require ments for peace and international cooperation in general. In May of 1946, after five months spent in Great Britain and Germany under the auspices of the British ministry of information, followed by an extended lecture tour of the United States, Agar joined the department of public information of the United Nations. So Mr. Agar Knows wnai ne s laiKinf; auuuu rinu con ference delegates and spectators will hear from him a - a , - 'I. a1 T TXT first-hand aCCOUnt Ot Wtiat goes on lllSiae me UiN. awarded the Arnold Keymond No University student needs briefing on Chancellor R.

Dr. Sor-I serines to what he calls the tele enson no doubt will present an enlightening discussion in his progress report of UNESCO. His UN summer session program also points him out as the logical man to inform students on an issue they themselves will be considering, the future of UNESCO. Of course, it would be absurd to think that within such a short time these three men could tell us all we want to know about the United Nations. But their talks, along with participation in the mock assembly business, will take us a step further toward an understanding of world government. Any University student will appreciate the chance to hear three authorities who have made the UN their full time or part-time jobs. Their names on the conference program schedule present us with the purpose of the whole project ... a more adequate knowledge of the UN and a better background for our part in achieving world co-operation. By Ralph Garnrr During this Lenten season the student with an inquiring turn of mind, with a strong religious background, and with a firm foundation in Biblical lore, often wonders how to co-ordinate the teachings of religion with the findings of the scientific world. Frequent difficulties arise in re solving some of the conflicts which seem to exist. Human Destiny by Pierre Lecomte du Nouy provides one answer to the problem (Humanities Heading Room and College of Agricul ture Library, 110L4!)h.) Leeonite du Nouy is both a scientist and a notable writer. He was the first scientist to develop a mathematical expression of the process of healing wounds, and has performed extensive research on the properties of blood. For ten years he was head of the bio physics division of the Pistour Institute. In literature, du Nouv was Baker, Hays, Sheets Have Best Cartoons Bill Baker, Stan Sheets and Hobe Hays are winners in the Corn Shucks 1950 literary car toon contest begun at the first I of this semester. They received $15, $10, and $5 respectively lor : winning first, second and third J prizes. The prize winning car- toon appeared in the March 15 ' issue of the campus humor mag- 1 azine. According to Bill Dugan one of the managing editors of Corn shucks, between thirty and forty cartoons were received by the staff during the contest. Most of them will be used in future issues, he said. The car toons were judged on the basis of style, originality, local color and quality of drawing by the editorial staff of the magazine. First Choire. One reason for the choice of Baker's drawing as first place. Dugan said, was that it was applicable to a campus condition. It depicts a student sitting on one of the girders of the Coli seum watching a basketball game. Sheets' drawing shows a small boy who has just shot his father thru the head, and Havs' is a comic strip about a gold dig ger. The prize money for the con test was supplied by the publi cations board. Essays and short stories, also a part ot the con- I test, will be printed in future is- sues of the magazine. These are I judged by the editorfial staff and Lowry C. Wimberly, prof fessor of English. There will be two winners in each category, I each receiving S20 or $15 fori first or second places. finalist theory. There is a delinitc purpose to life and a delinitc purpose to evolution. There is some guiding principle or lon e iGoii) hack of life and the evolutionary develop ments in it. The expression of this guiding force is a ctntinual evolutionary development toward an ultimate definite goal. Any misconceptions we have had arc due solely to the limited or one aspect point of view which we may have. For example, to the unaided eyr. steel is solid, and our con ception understandably remained that until the invention of the microscope showed that steel is porous. With further develop ments, analysis showed it to be made up of individual atoms. Du Nouy argues that our eoncep tions of human destiny as must similarly change as discoveries and new organiza tions of knowledge point up new concepts. In support of his theory. Le comte du Nouy traces the evolu tionary development of the var ious forms of life as we know it. The evolutionary development of each form of life and its physical expression is its own choice. If that choice be in line with the ultimate goal of life, it continues If not, then that form of life stagnates Happy Days Running Out... With "the happiest days of our life" rapidly running out, we find ourselves fighting down a nameless terror. Wei are about to be shoved into the "cold, cruel world" that the oldsters have been warning us about for years. Life so far,' we've been told, has been just one ivory tower after an other. School, the navy, more school and summer jobs have! all sheltered us from harsh reality. Now we've got to face it. I As near as we can tell from our sheltered position, life t develop and prosper i ai. ii.-u i u ; ;. then that form of life ! in uie uoiu, wuci wu.iu .a guiug tu tu.1Bi0t tins. , and usuav njs;pppars fl(,m thP 1.

Learning how to govern our own conduct instead of relying on a rule book to set our manners and morals for us. 6. Grappling with the vital issues of life as our elders are doing in women's clubs, bridge clubs, country clubs and Legion clubs across the nation instead of worrying about religion in life or world government. It's frightening to face such a future. But we hope the preceding generation will be patient with us, and give us a helping hand. Perhaps eventually we can adjust. We'd like to try anyway. Reprinted in part from the Iowa State Daily. man destroys the premises of those holding the mechanistic point of view. Because of the brain, man has the opportunity of unlimited development along moral and spiritual lines. Whether man takes advantage of this op portunity is another matter. The point is that because of this brain, man has the choice. If he chooses rightly, he can be the one to fulfill the role of destiny in this ultimate goal of life. If he muffs the chance, then some other form of life will take over. In the later chapters of Human Destiny, the author traces the evolutionary development of Minerstition, of organized relig 1 ion and the sensing of God and his omnipotence. He suggests the role of education and instruction in this development. There are no limits tn the help which or ; gani7cd religion regardless of ereed mav give. If human dig 1 nity is to he preserved and our moral and spiritual development ! are to pro':re.s. then the church such I has a role which nothing else ran new : fill. Both the student of religion and the student of science will find much tood for thought in Human Destiny. BY GEORGE WILCOX National WASHINGTON. The state de partment Wednesday ordered John S. Service back from India to testify personally in a depart mental review of his loyalty record.

"I tHnk the time is going to arrive when the peo ple of Nebraska and America I demand that railroad abanrion- ments be stopped." Gov. Val j Peterson said Wednesday as he I left by plane for Albion to testily before the Interstate Commerce Commission on proposals to abandon the Scribner-Oakdalc ! line of the North Western rail ; road. The governor continued that I "if the North Western is suc ; ressful at Albion, I predict that within relatively few years that j railroad will have no mileage in Nebraska. Then the north ern quarter of Nebraska will be w ithout railroad service. I do not believe we can afford to let that condition arise." LINCOLN.

Thomas, known to many as a radio commentator, will take his audience on a "remarkable mo tion picture lecture on a caravan trek into Central Asia, the mys terious land of the Dalai Lama." Few Travel There Until 149 only six Americans had penetrated this mysterious mountain kingdom to reach the sacred capital of Lhasa. Thomas will tell how he and his father, Lowell Thomas, sr., received per mission from the ruler of the country, to make their tour to the land. Thomas will relate how, after a treacherous journey by pack caravan, the two Americans were received in Potala itself, fabled golden-roofed palace of the Dalai Lama. What the Lowell Thomases did, what they saw, in this storied region, roof of the world, will be reported with .iatural color mo tion pictures. It will be accom panied by the vital, fast moving commentary of Lowell Thomas junior, in person. Another Planet Included in this "trip to an- NU Bulletin Hoard other planets," will be a tale showing the life of the last un touched nation on earth; a talc of high adventure among the Hima lays far up on the lofty Central Asian plateau. It's a tale of mon asteries covered with gold, of the Dalai Lama, of red-robed monks, of lofty mountains. It is a tale which also includes the accident that occurred to the elder Lowell Thomas on the re turn from far-off Lhasa, just alter crossing the loftiest pass. The commentator, the younger Thomas, is already a veteran of some six expeditions at the age of 26. He was a pilot in the re cent war, and was with the Air force at Bikini for the atom bomb tests.
