Although officers expected the local red opposition to crumble quickly on both , widely separated thrusts, the reds gave no indication that they would heed a new "last time" surrender demand of General MacArthur. The South Koreans may be preparing to turn at Wonsan from their 90-mile northward advance on the Sea of Japan coast and EtriKe west across the waist of i the peninsula for the red capital, Pyongyang, 95 air miles ahead. Moves Across Parallel About equally distant from Pyongyang, troopers and tanks of the U. S. First cavalry division crossed the 38th parallel in regi mental strength on the road lead ing northwest of Seoul, with Pyongyang as the apparent goal. As the allied troops shifted across the 38th parallel, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vish insky shifted his stand. The foreign minister said that Russia favors some points of the sweeping United States program to give the U. N. general assem bly emergency powers to combat aggression. Vishinsky's surprising state ment in the assembly's political committee came after John Fost er Dulles, republican adviser to Secretary of State Acheson, out lined the American program, which calls for standby military forces to back up United Nations decisions. Delegate Puzzled The Soviet minister did not specify which points of the American proposal he favored. His statement puzzled other dele gates. As the Soviet delegate aired his views, in Washington the Supreme Court Monday denied Sen. Taylor (d Idaho) the right to air his views of his conviction on disorderly conduct charges in Birmingham, Ala. Taylor was fined $50 and sen' tenced to 180 days in jail. The charge resulted from a scuffle Taylor had with Birmingham police May 1, 1948, when the senator tried to enter a Negro youth meeting through a door marked "Negro Entrance." The incident occured while Taylor was a candidate for vice president on the progressive party ticket, with Henry Wallace. The senator said his arrest would serve as a test of Birmingham's laws requiring separation of negroes and whites. Meanwhile no reason has been found for the plane crash Satur day which resulted in the death of four Nebraskans. An inquest held Sunday found oiiiy that the four on a charter trip from . Grand Island to Kentucky died in "a plane crash, reason un known." Four Killed The four were identified as: John Russell McWilliams, Grand Island: Carl Falk, his sister, Jean Falk, and their mother, Mrs. Ella Falk, St. Raul. With the fighting continuing in Korea, the number of Nebraskans killed in Korea climbed to 22 last week, according to an Associated Press survey. The survey listed 73 wounded, 27 missing and five injured. None were listed as prisoners of war. And, concerning the war casu alties, the defense department said Monday there are unidenti fied American war dead in Korea. But how many won't be known until American graves registra tion teams can thoroughly ex plore the area over which United States forces were pushed back by the red army advance in the forst two months of fighting. The work of these highly trained teams probably will pelp clear up at least some of the 3,877 cases reported as "missing in action" in the latest official casualty announcements. Red Cross Unit Activity Session On Thursday The Red Cross College Unit will hold an activity session Thursday, Oct. 12 in Room 315 Union, at 5 p.m. Previously an nounced as Wednesday in ine Daily Nebraskan, the meeting will be held on Thursday be cause of the conflict with the AWS Activity Mart. Red Cross officers will be on hand to explain the various phases of Red Cross activity. Students who are interested in entertaining at Vet's hospital are urged to attende the Union talent how tryouts Wednesday. Red Cross will file the names cf interested students who par ticipate in the talent show and request these workers as the need arises. At Vet's hospital, University students are needed to play cards and converse with patients. The Red Cross also sponsors a radio show at the hospital. Last year Joan Hanson and Bill Hemke produced "Joan and Bill's Vet's Jamboree," a bi weekly record program planned from requests of the patients. At Lincoln General hospital and orphanages here in Lincoln, Red Cross workers are needed to teach handicraft. Interested students will receive training in the Union craftshop. j Swimming Bnd motor corps will not be o; n to volunteer workers this year. Home Ec Conference Oct. 19-21 Home economics students from four states will meet Oct. 19, 20 and 21 at the University of Omaha for their annual province workshop.

Nine of the eleven guest lead ers at Religion-in-Life Week Nov. 5 to 9 will be furnished by the organization. In this manner, internationally known speakers and lecturers can be obtained to give students the best lead ership talent available. 'successful Program' Said Kansas State college pres ident Milton Eisenhower of the progarm, "From visits with stu dents and faculty members in recent weeks, I have obtained confirmation of my own belief that LIFT Week . . . was by far the most successful religious em ph":is program we have ever had." The program outlined by the mission group reaches students where they are, in meal-groups, in fraternities and dormitories where they live, in classes, in their moods of skepticism or rebellion of eagerness or urban ity. For instance, students can Shultz Named 'Institute9 Head Dr. Bertrand Schultz was elected president of the American Interprofessional institute at its annual convention Friday and Saturday in Minneapolis.

Wr- 3J000 Fans Cheer Team At Airport Anyone who really wanted to see Cornhusker spirit at a high point, had a good chance last Saturday night. More than 3,000 University students and Lincoln fans drove to the Lincoln airport to greet the team which had broken the 48 year losing jinx on the Min nesota field. In one of the great est upsets in Saturday's football j games, the Scaret and Cream hed defeated the Gophers 32 to ; 26, and the fans were there to : let them know how they felt i about it. As the team members and I coaches stepped down from the j plane, fans let up a stream of j cneers ana the victorious squad, including Coach Bill Glassford, each gave a short speech as they stepped onto the ground. Members o the Yell Squad and a several piece pep band were present to aid the Corn busker fans with yells and songs. Cars enroute to the airport, formed a several mile long bumper to bumper line. Cheers followed the team as they embarked to a special bus or private cars to return to Lin coln. The Corn Shucks staff has announced that Tassels will continue selling subscriptions to the campus humor maza rine for another week. avoid a "religious meeting" call ed in the central auditorium. But they cannot avoid going to a class where they find faith interpreted in terms of that sub ject. Nine Speakers The nine speakers provided for by the group at Religion-in-Life week are Dr. T. Z. Koo, Chinese lecturer; Dean Charles McAllister, University com mencement speaker in 1948; Rev. Roland Dutton. pastor of First Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan.; Dr. Jerry Voorhis, former con gressman from California and currently executive secretary of the Co-operative League of Ameirca; Dr. Robert Fischer of the Chicago Lutheran Theologi cal seminary; and Rev. Bryant Drake, former president of Doane college and now national executive secretary of Congregational-Christian church stu dent work. Others are the Rev. Joseph King, pastor of First Church in Oberlin, O.; Rev. Eugene Dur ham, Methodist student pastor at Northwestern university; and Ruth Seabury of the American Board of Foreign Missions. The University Christian Mis sion was founded in 1937. Prior to that time, religious emphasis weeks had been held on many college and university campuses. However, there was a need for a unifying national group to help plan and execute these groups. After a brief wartime lapse of operations, the Mission came back in 1945 with a renewed program for the post-war per iod. Phillips P. Moulton was elect ed national director of the group and served in that capacity until 1947, when he was succeeded by James L. Stoner, who now di rects the organization's activities. Moulton will be in Lincoln Thursday for personal confer ences with the Religion-in-Life Week leaders and committee chairmen. He will help them plan their programs and advise them on arrangements and spec ific duties in preparation for the conference. During the 11 years that Moul ion's organization has been in existence, over 200 Mission pro jects have been conducted in 41 states and Hawaii, in addition to the campus wartime missions held from 1941 to 1945 at camp uses where trainees were located. VICTOR'S RETURN 3,000 happy Cornhusker fans were waiting at the airport Saturday night for the return of their vic torious grid team.

John Fur row of the University police with parking violation tickets in their hands. They make up the 60 cases a day that are heard at West Sta dium. Their offenses range from having no parking sticker on the windshield to parking where they shouldn't. When the start-of-the-year confusion is finally over, the number of cases heard will probably drop to an aver age of thirty. Final Phase The campaign to put a sticker on every car parked about the University is in its final phase. However, the fight is still on against bad parking practices. These include red-line parking along no-parking areas, improp er parking that takes up too much space per car, and worst of all, double parking. The heat is definitely on those who park in the center of lots. Areas that are giving the most trouble are the lots east of Stu dent Health and west of the Goes t Magazine Writer To Meet Coeds Any coed interested in entering "Mademoiselle" magazine's guest editor contest will have the op portunity to learn the rules from Gigi Marion, campus reporter, next week. Miss Marion, who is touring colleges and universities through out the country, will be here at the University Oct. 16 and 17 to inform students about "Madem oiselle" magazine's college board and the gather feature stories. Each year the magazine invites 20 guest editors to the New York office to edit the August college issue. Women who are majoring in fields associated with magazine work, such as fashions, mer chandising, art, journalism, or advertising, are urged to meet Miss Marion. Appointments for personal interviews should be made with Miss Mary Augustine, assistant dean of women, at Ellen Smith hall by Saturday. LrfOiioquium Of Physics Scheduled Herbert Jehle, physics depart ment, has announced that another physics colloquium will be or ganized, similar to that last year.

The service area behind the Union is frequently used for illegal park ing. Three policemen are work ing full time on the traffic de tail. They check each parking lot four times daily, so that sooner or later every violation will be noted. Many Excuses A variety of excuses are given for violations. "I haven't got around to getting a sticker," says one. "I parked there for two years and never got caught," says another. One young man explained, "I left the keys in my car so any one could move it if it was in the way." Sgt. Furrow advised him, "That's poor policy, leav ing the keys in your car." Anyone still wishing to obtain a fticker must get a permit from the Student Council, Union 305. The stickers themselves are ob tainable at West Stadium. "All students and faculty who live In Nebraska over 30 days must obtain a Nebraska driver's license," reports Sgt. Furrow. Out-of-staters please note. o rasaae $300 Contribution Estimated by Lisher In an attempt to help lift the iron curtain, the AUF will contribute a lump sum of its total collections thii year to the Crusade for Freedom. This was announced Monday by Jo Lisher, director of AUF, who says that the organization plans to give tea cents per pledge to the drive. This will probably amount to from $300 to $500, she said. "Actual amount of the contri bution will depend upon the suc cess of the AUF drive," Miss Lisher continued. The University campaign to get 5000 signatures on the Freedom Scroll, which opened Monday with Gov. Val Peterson signing the scroll, is a part of the Cru sade for Freedom started Labor Day by Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower. Promote Free Radio The drive is an effort to pro mote Radio Free Europe, radio program formed last year to send free broadcasts to satellite coun tries, which at present is con fined to a single short-wave transmitter. Kosmet Klub workers began canvassing the University campus about 5 p.m., Monday. Organized houses were visited by workers during the evening to solicit signatures. According to Jerry Matzke, chairman of the general com mittee for the campus crusade, all houses and students should be contacted before Saturday when the drive closes. Booths have been placed at different points on campus for students to sign the scroll, Matzke continued. Governor's Support The Crusade for Freedom cam paign which received hearty sup port from Governor Peterson when he signed it, is being re ceived by other colleges and uni versities with enthusiasm. The Freedom Scrolls will be flown to Berlin where they will be enshrined in the base of the freedom bell on United Nations Day, Oct. 24. The bell, of solid bronze standing eight feet high, will ring daily after dedication. Words inscribed on the lower rim are: That "fhls '"world, under God, shall have a new birth of Freedom." This is a paraphrase of Lincoln's words at Gettyburg. Bell On Tour The bell at present is making a tour of American communities before being sent to Berlin for the ceremony. It weighs 10 tons. General Eisenhower has des cribed the campaign as a dirve by mobilization of millions of Americans in the battle against Communist propaganda and ag gression. He says it is Americans "fighting the big lie with the big truth." The Student Council is spon soring the University campaign. Matzke, vice president of NUCWA is chairman of the fol lowii4 committee: Bruce Kennedy, Bob Raun, Leon Pfeiffer, Dean Borgmann and Harold Peterson. NUCWA is acting as a coordin ating agency for the program. The scroll which students are urged by the committee to sign reads: "I believe in the sacredness and dignity of the individual. "I believe that all men derive the right to freedom equally from God. "1 pledge to resist aggression and tyranny whenever they ap pear on earth." U.S. Education 'Second Rate' -Times Editor Americans are providing their children with a second-rate edu cation, Dr. Benjamin Fine, edu cation editor of The New York Times," told the annual meeting of the Save the Children federa tion recently. Dr. Fine said this second-rate education is especially prominent in rural districts where the teachers are underpaid and not well-trained, and where school buildings are inadequate. Dr. Fine warned that "we are neg lecting the potential resources of our nation, particularly when education of children is at least as important as an army in the fight against communism." To compensate for this lack in American education, Dr- Fine recommends that the funds for national child education be dou bled from the present 5 billion dollars a year to 10 billion dollars. Dr. Fine won the Pulitzer award for the "New York Times" in 1944 for his articles on the teaching of American history in our schools and colleges and the George Polk award in 3 949 for outstanding reporting In the field of education. He is bIso the au thor, of many books and articles on newspaper work and educa tional problems. His most recent book, "Our Children are Cheated," is based upon the survey he made for the "Times" on the post-war plight of education in America All pre-dentsi students who wish to btake application for 1951 entrance to the CoHere of Dentistry should contact Dr. Ray Steinaeher, pre-dental adviser, regarding- the dental aptitude testa which will be riven on Nov. 24 and Dee. 28. Foundation Announces New Grants Gifts totaling $106,814 have been received by the University Foundation in the four-month period ending Oct 1, Perry W. Branch, director-secretary, an nounced Monday.
