College Days planning will be
done in part by Jerry Warren,
and Phyllis Haley, latest students
appointed to the general commit
tee. Warren will be in charge of
the opening ceremonies for the
three day celebration, which will
take place April 26 to 28. Miss
Haley will serve as secretary for
the celebration.
The program, which will be
similar to Iowa State's Veishea
and the University of Colorado's
CU Days, has received approv
al from top administrative offic
ials and will be presented to
deans of all colleges at a meet
ing Wednesday in the Chancel
lor's office at 4 p. m. Represent
atives from Builders, sponsors
of the project, will be there, in
addition to several members of
the general committee, said Gene
Berg, chairman.
Opening: Ceremonies
Warren's job as chairman of
the opening ceremonies will in
clude introduction of special
guests. He will make arrange
ments for speakers and the open
ing program.
Commenting on the project
which will portray all phases of
University life, Warren said it
would provide "a spark which
should help interest students in
all colleges, revive enthusiasm of
University alumni and provide
incentive for high school stu
dents to enroll at the University."
"The opening program," says
Warren, will be an introduction
to the three day celebration. It
will include outstanding speak
ers and a special feature as the
torch carriers at Veishea."

Nebraska Weather Conditions
Good Tonic of Conversation
By Amy Palmer
"The atmospheric condition is
one to be deplored." This state
ment was not uttered by some
profound philosopher, but by
your reporter. The rumor has it,
though, that many other Ne
braskans have voiced the same
opinion lately in some form or
another.
Even our own Coach Glass
ford was worried about the situ
ation until a reliable remedy was
found. Of course, he is having a
hard time finding water wings
large enough for some of the
players.
After some involved research
in an encyclopedia (1901 edi
tion) it was discovered that this
disgusting water from the skies
isn't rain at all. It is (in the
words of men who know) an
atmospheric phenomena. Study
of these various phenomena is
known as weather study. Now a
weather studier ( meteor oligish to
any brain who might object to
the word choice) surprisingly
enough, studies weather. This
has about as much effect on the
weather as cramming the night
Book Reviews
Calif ornia Oath
The fight for academic freedom
at the University of California
has accumulated enough signi
ficance to be of national concern,
says the author of a book on the
problem.
The "sign-or-get-out" order
Imposed by the Board of Regents
on the faculties at Berekley and
Los Angles has implications which
extend to every campus in the
land in ' the opinion of many
educators. The record of the con
troversy has been kept by the
faculty and is set forth in a book
entitled "The Year of the Oath,"
by George Stewart, professor of
English at the University of
California.
It was in May 1949, that the
California Regents first asked all
university employees, faculty and
Staff to sign an enti-Communist
oath. In August 1950, 31 members
of the faculty who had not yet
signed were dismissed from their
posts. The time between was one
of mounting tension.
At the end of the year of un
relenting pressure the faculty of
tee University -of California wasjXJniOll Craft SllOD
broken says Stewart. A feeling of, I
insecurity prevailed and the re- I )npi1 fn Ktiifloiife
cruiting of new teachers wasv'IJC11 lu "JlUUtliW
nearly impossible.
Gradually, the book relates
university politics became state
politics, and step by step the op
posing Regents appeared to sup
port the Kremlin.
Stewart says: "If the other
workers on this book are sought
out and diciphned, or if retalia
tion is visited upon tnem in a
subtler way, that in itself will be
proof that academic freedom no
longer exists in the University of
California.
Trade Institute
Begins New Plan
In response to student requests
the American Institute for For
eign Trade has approved a new
course for those wishing to spe
cialize in language, area study, or
foreign trade.
The new program. Course II,
is aa extension of the present
basic one-year dealing with in
ternational relations. The Institute
prepares those entering a foreign
service, such as: Exchange and
banking, exporting and import
ing, marketing, advertising, ac
counting, and positions with the
United States Government.
Any student who has com
pleted the basic course and has
met the requirements for the
basic certificate for graduation is
elip'ble for the new course. The
additional work does not have to
be from the more advanced
courses in the student's particular
field.
A specal certificate indicating
the student's major is awarded
on completion of the second year
course.
Miss Haley
program a terrific send-off," says
Warren, "which will be indica
tive of the following events."
"College Days," according to
Miss Haley, who is secretary of
the event, "is the best project
that Builders has ever promoted.
The whole University can do a
lot with it."
Miss Haley, as secretary, will
take care of all correspondence
and handle files for the celebra
tion. Tentative Plans
Previous appointments to the
committee which is headed by
Berg, are: Bill Dugan, assistant
chairman; Susie Reed, chairman
of open houses; Joan Krueger,
publicity chairman; Rob Raun,
business manager; Nancy Porter,
personnel chairman; Phy His
before a Chem 31 exam. But, it
pays well.
We should all really be grate
ful for all these awful happen
ings loyal Nebraskans call wea
ther. After all, where would the
great art of Conversation be if it
weren't for that well known
opener?
Can you imagine conversation
at an hour dance without it? He
would say, "I'm from Grand
Island and where are you from?"
And she would say, "I'm from
Steele City" (or Gopher Junction,
as the case may be.) A blank look
comes to his face and immediate
ly the conversation is at a stand
still. But just let two people
start off about the weather and
right away they're off to a good
start. He asks her for a date,
they fall in love and marry. Of
course the snow ruins their love
ly August wedding.
Right now wind and rain
cause most trouble. These two
conditions lead a great many
people to believe that straight
hair is a new fad among the
girls. It isn't, anyway not inten
tionally. The greatest disadvantage in
perpetual cloudy weather is that
it hides that celestial body known
as th moon. Southerners a few
years back invented a canned
substitute for those bright beams.
They called it moonshine. That
organization wasn't in business
long.
In closing, we have a poem
about Nebraska's weather. It was
written by a student who was
interested in meteorology, but it
got the best of her. She has re
cently been removed to another
well known state institution. Her
parting words are in this poem:
I walked down the street and
the wind blew wild.
The day was warm and sunny.
The dust was thick, but the
weather was mild;
The snow was up to my ankles.
I looked in the sky and what
did I spy.
But a bird with a parasol!
This is too much I sez, sez I
And a rainbow shone in the
sky.
If this poem doesn't strike you
as being one of the greatest by a
Nebraska author, just blame it
on the weather. After all. maybe
Shelley and Keats had more fa
vorable weather when they wrote
their immortal works.
Union facilities for a craft shop
are now open to students. Classes
will be held every Tuesday and
Wednesday from 7 to 9 p. m.
Classes include leather work,
textile painting and weaving.
Other craft classes taught are
metal work, gimp braiding, fig
urine painting, wood burning and
simple plastics. The only expense
for the participant will be the
craft material.
The craft shop is sponsored by
the Union competitive games and
hobbies committee under the di
rection of Bob Russel. Mrs.
Charles Coleman will instruct
the classes.

7 Germans Study
At Nebraska
The returns are now in on the
year's international student ex
change, and Germany leads with
some 900 students sent to Am
erica Nebraska's share is seven
ranging from sophomore to grad
uate students.
The feminine members of the
Deutschland delegation are
Emmy Werner and Gudrun
Wiebe, now settled at Interna
tional House. The men, late ar
rivals on the campus, are Dieter
Berendt and Clemens Hufman of
Bonn University, Hans Austen
feld of Muenster, Tom Iwand of
Goettingen, and Hubert Bruns of
Munich.
The students agree that Ameri
cans don't appreciate what they
have. A campus unscarred by war
is comething new to the Euro
peans. "If we had a room at Bonn
University this size," says Dilter
Berendt, indicating the Union
lounge, "We'd use it as a lecture
room!"
Cornshucks workers who

general chairman of the meeting,
Comhusker
Fans Exhibit
Enthusiasm
The Cornhuskers arc on the
25-yard line of Indiana and
fourth down is coming up. Sud
denly a guy pops up clutching his
portable radio and yells, "The
Phillies made another run!"
The avid Husker fan doesn't
know whether to conk him with
a dixie cup or cheer with him (if
he is a Dodger fan, too bad).
"Hey, they're singing the new
Cornhusker song."
"What are the words, Joe?"
"Do I ask you if you know
the second verse to the 'Star
Spangled Banner?'"
The main problem in a Univer
sity football game is to get there
early. We saw a number of people
munching sandwiches and yelling
for the coke man an hour before
the kick-off Then there are
those who sit in the bleachers.
Plaid hats and sun glasses are
a must for all East-siders. The
mass troop movement to the West
side of the stadium in the Frosh
Varsity game is definitely out.
Then there's the unlucky Joe
who has two cents in his pocket,
a girl at his elbow and coke, ice
cream, sun shade, back rest, and
program sellers yelling in his
vicinity 99 percent of the time
while 28,000 other fans wonder
how many hours it will take be
fore the pop man happens to
stray close enough for them to
catch him.
The most favored comment
was the quality of United Nations
football n material and the play of
the evenly matched teams. The
bleacher quarter-backs were ex
cited enough to buy Sunday's
paper to prove that their running
commentary durig the game was
borne out in print.
Column Writer's
Name Omitted
The News and Views column
appearing in Monday's edition of
The Daily Nebraskan was writ
ten by A. T. Anderson, assistant
professor of history. His name
was unintentionally omitted from
the article. x

everything will be free of charge.
The club, which is being re
vived after one year absence
from the University campus, is
being sponsored by the entire
French department staff.
Tables of Four
Students attending the party
at their tables in an effort
meet all the students.
Included on , the evening's
agenda will be the singing of
traditional French songs. The
French instructors will teach the
words to the students and the
group will gather around the
piano for group singing.
'It will not be like the usual
group singing," says Pond, "where
a leader waves a baton at the
students and the students try
their best to read the lips of the
leader and follow the best they
can, without realizing what they
are singing or understanding the
words."
Chopin Numbers
Kooert rirestone, assistant in
the German department, will ac
company the groups on the piano
and will also play selections from
Chopin.
Pond, who is a native French
man, will preside as master of
ceremonies at the party.
According to Pond, the French
club meetings this year can be
compared with the United Nations
meetings. All proceedings which
are carried on in French will be
translated on a microphone so
that all bewildered students can
follow what is going on.
"The translation will be steady,
and beginners of people not too
sharp at their French will not
lose out on anything," says Pond.
Slow Speakers
Another plan which will help
the beginning French student to
understand "the program better
will be the practice of having the
speakers talk more slowly.
On the planning committee for
the Wednesday meeting and
party- are: Romance language
faculty members Dr. Charles
Coleman, Miss Marion Crain, Miss
Dephne Adams, Karl Pond, For
rest Hazard and Bob Gist.
The purpose of the first meet
ing will, be for members to get
acquainted with each other and
organize.
Plans for the year include
parties, meeting with speakers
and song sessions. Besides the
traditional French tunes, current
songs now popular in France will
be taught members of the club
at a later date. ..
Students Invited
All University students enrolled
in any French course from begin
ning French to advanced classes
are invited to attend. In addition,
any students interested in French,
though not now taking a course
may attend.
"We are planning on a big
year," says Pond. "We will try to
give good interesting programs at
our meetings and are hoping for
a good active French club."

JITTERBUGS? No, these are cheerleaders Leonard Kehl (bot
tom) and Jerry Tubbs (top) doing a hand-to-shoulder stand at
the Nebraska-Indiana game. The tumbling acts performed were
part of a new system of entertainment for the games. All of the
eight cheerleaders received instruction in basic tumbling stunts
such as trips, flips, hand stands, somersaults, rolls and cart
wheels. During the half some of the cheerleaders did hand stands
on the goal posts.
Pledges Stage
Mock Arrest
The man told the boys that he
was a law officer and that the
three of them were under ar
rest, but the boys didn't argue.
He told them to get into a car;
that he would follow in his own.
Still the boys didn't object.
But there were
couple of
boys that did object. It seems
that the boys who were "ar
rested" were pledges of a Uni
versity fraternity. And the boys
who objectedwere actives of the
same fraternity.
It seems that the "arrests"
had been arranged by the three
boys to avoid a work detail.
Sheriff Myles Holloway, who
was contacted in the matter
shrugged and commented "fra
ternity stuff!"
At last report the three "pns-
j oners" were still working.
