ResistanceStif f er , S lMortar Boards wiU also The once discounted report that Chinese communist troops were fighting against the United Nations armies in Korea may be true. Between 30,000 and 60,000 fighting Chinese reds have been reported by prisoners to be al lied with the North Koreans. Simultaneously, the North Ko rean forces have more resistance. The army that was cut to pieces following their great invasion of South Korea, seems to have taken new heart. If the Chinese red report is true, they might be the 75,000 Chinese communist soldiers that were defeated by the Chinese na tionalists in Manchuria. The re port is that they escaped to North Koreans and were housed there through the winter and next spring bounded back into Manchuria to decisive victory. Therefore the Chinese reds might be repaying their tremen dous debt to the Korean reds. Another key to the situation is the fact that the Chinese reds are uniting with the North Ko reans to prevent the United Na tions forces from getting the power dam on the Valu River which they are coming close to. This dam supplies 360,000 kilo watts to Manchuria and if cap tured by the South Koreans, would cut off Manchuria's elec tricity. Also in Korea William R. Moore, missing Associated Press correspondent, was killed on the South Korean war front. He was killed in an attempt to save a wounded fellow officer. Sings are multiplying in Wash ington to the effect that Dwight D. Eisenhower is slated to be su preme commander of allied forces in Europe. His job would be to build up the continent's defenses against communism. Eisenhower is evidently will ing to assume the new respon sibility. "I am a soldier and will do as I am told," he said. Also in Washington a suit de signed to enjoin and nullify the new internal security act was filed in U.S. court. The action attacks the law as unconstitutional. The complaint is aimed at the requirement that organizations regarded by the attorney general as communist must register and disclose finan cial backing.

The band will do the following dances for Her Majesty: the minuet, square dance, schottische, acrobatic, Charleston, beguine and samba. The band will perform special ceremonies commemorating the tenth anniversary of Nebraska's trip to the Rose Bowl. The Victory Bell, symbolic of gridiron supremacy between the Tigers and the Cornhuskers, will be presented to the Missouri team by the Innocents society. This is recognition of their 21-20 victory over the Cornhuskers last year. The bell is presented annually to the winner of the football game. Henry Schulte, former track coach at the University, sug gested the idea to the Innocents society in 1928. The group has sponsored the trophy since then. Since Nebraska won possession of the bell in that year, the Corn huskers have won possession 11 times, the Tigers nine times, while two games ended. in ties. The 1950 Pep Queen candidates will be announced at the rally Friday night. Voting will take place immediately after the rally, and the winner will be an nounced at the Homecoming Dance on Saturday night. Anson Weeks and his band will play for the dance, which will be held in the Coliseum from 9 p.m. until midnight. Weeks has a record of seven consecutive years at the Hotel Mark Hopkins in San Francisco, as well as en gagements at the Waldorf As toria, in New York, Edgewater Beach and College Inn in Chi cago and other leading hotels, theaters and ballrooms through out the country.

Dem- Farm House, Ag YM Win Ag Fun Night Eileen Derieg Receives Award FarmHouse and Ag YMCA copped first place in the skit and curtain act divisions respectively at the 19th Annual Coll-Agri-Fun held Friday night in the Ag College Activities building. "Good Knight Irene" was the prize-winning skit for Farm House and "The Play Without Words" won the $10 prize for the YM. Nearly 250 people attended the fun night. Placing as honorable mention in. the skits was AGR with "His tory of the Ag Campus." Ag YWCA won that same award with "Before the Mirror." Dick Walsh held down the po sition of "emcee." Chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Alex ander and Mr. and Mrs.- I. L. Hathaway. Ephriam Hixson. Al- tinias Tullis and Herbert Ken dall were judges. Deriesr Wins Scholarship As a climax to the showing of the skits Eileen Derieg was pre sented with the $100 scholarship which was given by the Coll-Agri-Fun to the participant in last year's show who had ac cumulated the highest average for the last two semesters. A brief resume of the skits and curtain acts is as follows: First on the program, Love hall presented "Charlie Comes To Town," which was a cow's "tale" about how 'Charlie' did just as the title suggests. "Char lie" happened to turn out to be the Charleston. Loomis hall followed with "Little Nell" featuring a story about how the young lass got into much trouble. Curtain Act Farm House's curtain act "Down on the Farm" was given tion on Thursday, Nov. 2. At that as a reading by Rex Myers. "Women As We See Them" depicted some Ag men who imi tated a bridge party. "Women were made before mirrors and they've been before them ever since," is the way that emcee Walsh introduced the YW curtain act, "Before the Mirror." Amikitas proceeded to show scenes of a group of girls getting ready for an hour dance and a retake after the dance was over. The typical comments were made as "The Hour of Destiny" got under way. FarmHouse followed with the prize-winning "Good Knight Irene." At this point the Ag country dancers exhibited their skill at square dancing. This was not en tered in the competition for the prize. "Black Face Follies" . Tap dancing and black faces adorned the stage as Home Ec club presented "Black Face Follies" with Joanne Knotts. tap Syracuse Frosh Form Platforms Freshmen candidates for class office at Syracuse university sub mitted the following as some of the platforms in their respective parties Co-op and United Stu dents. . . i ; Co-op proposed!: A class weekend consisting of inter-class competition and a frosh dance. :i A freshman cheering squad for freshman games. ; The publication of an all fresh man class paper.

Nothing would be excluded. Dr. Jones stressed, but everything would be tuned to play in harmony with Christ as director. ' Dr. Jones was also asked for a definition of the kingdom of God and how one can find God's will. His answer was: The kingdom of God is defined as God's will being done on earth.

The royal presentation of the two winners is an annual high light of the show. Last Year's Winners Last year, Roxie Elias and Don Bloom , stepped through a large red cellophane heart to be named Nebraska Sweetheart and Prince Kosmet of 1949. In order to be eligible, each candidate must be an upperclass- man possessing a 4.5 average. All male students interested in taking part in the talent tryouts are urged to appear at the Union ballroom at the stated date. George Wilcox, chairman of the tryouts, said that all sorts ! of talent is desired. This includes : individual or group acts.

By Amy Palmer Just as exciting as the race for Honorary Commandant is the AUF's anti-pulchritude contest to find the Ugliest Man on Cam pus. Not all houses have nominated their candidates yet, but here is a rundown on those who have. The measurements which so often accompany candidates of the opposite sex are not avail able for publication yet, but a few facts are available to enable students to know candidates be fore going to the polls. First on the list is Howard Dennis from the Delta Upsilon house. Howard's qualifications for the title may be seen only by seeing him. He is a chairman us to li re singly and collectively j and an illustrious Kosmet Klub on earth. worker. To round out his per- God's will is tne teaching of the sonaiity, he steals cars. Bible, he continued.' and Jesus is God's self revelation. When in doubt of what to do. Dr. Jones recommends the Christ-like thing. Dr. Jones' opinions of the ecu menical church were asked. Ecu menical literally means "in com mon," he believes. He stated that Christ is the common element between all Christians. Dr; Jones believes all can have one church with denominational branches. He compared this theory with United States central government and individual state government. He hopes that churches, like the colonies can go from their present state to a union. Dr. Jones was sponsored on campus by the YM and YW. He has been speaking at St. Paul Methodist church under the spon sorship of the Lincoln Ministers association. . Keith Lytle, the Beta Theta delegate, is a senior and presi dent of his house. Besides this. he is an intramural sports whiz I that the rest of the fellows will really miss. Delts Nominee Delta Tau Delta has nomi nated Sophomore Keith Fiene who is on the football and wrestling teams. At heart, he's a gentle boy and collects butter flies and roadsigns in his spare time. Glen Moritz is the Alpha ' his experiences out on Ag cam pus have given him more than reason enough for being chosen the UMOC. The Sigma Chi's have nomi nated sweet little Don Bohmont whose habits are breaking mir rors and frightening children. To avoid frustration when away from these pastimes, he plays tennis. Big, outdoor man John Bauer is the Delta Chi's choice. He goes in for hunting. Likes Girls Phi Delta Theta nominated Bob Gilmore a soph who really likes activities. Chief among these are girls, girls, girls. From the Phi Kappa Psi house comes Larry Franzen whose hobby is being ugly. Regardless of this circumstance, he is pinned. Art Epstein, whose main joy in life is cooking, is the choice of the Sigma Alpha Mu house. Maybe his hobby has given him the wrong outlook on life. Donley Klein was the logical choice of the Pi Kappa Phi house. He is a hunter and is a member of AIEE. This is a worthy organization and not an exclamation concerning Klein. Photo Fan Bob Sherman of the Theta Xi i house is very forested in photography. In fact, he spends much of his time taking pictures of his pinmate. From the Phi Gamma Delta aggregation emerges Ozzie Solon, a junior, and fancier of butter flies. He insists, however, that he isn't ugly and is only enter ing this contest to avoid em barrassment by other members of his fraternity. Al Ross of tne Zeta Beta Tau house explains the fact that he is in such a degrading race dimply because he likes to enter contests. There will be more candidates later on. so don't judge Convocations Speakers Told Three noted speakers will ad dress university convocations in the near future.

Ag Extension, Home Agents To Attend Meet Nebraska's force of 80 agricul tural extension agents and 41 home agents will attend their an nual conference at the University Tuesday through Saturday. The agents will confer with the state staff of the Nebraska Agricultural Extension service and discuss ways to make their jobs more effective. Acting Ex tension Director E. W. Janike of the University said several well known speakers on rural educa tion have been lined up for the week's program. They include C. L. McNelly from the Minnesota Agricultural Exentions service and Dr. Arthur Mauch, extension economist at Michigan State college. In addi tion to speeches and discussion groups the agents will be in structed in the use of new meth ods of rural education. Chancellor R. G. Gustavson is scheduled to address the group Tuesday afternoon. Home extension agents will have their annual association dinner Tuesday evening.

Will Close Soon ' Subscription sales for the 1951 Cornhusker are well under way, according to Jack Barnhart, business manager, who urges stu dents to place their orders before the subscription deadline, which will be soon. Many students last spring were disappointed when they at tempted to buy Cornhuskers," Barnhart said. "Since Cornhusker printing costs are so high, the department can order only the exact number of books purchased in the fall. Anyone wanting a 1951 Cornhusker must purchase it during the fall campaign in order to receive a copy next spring." This year's Cornhusker is going to include much more color, and will place more emphasis on im portant events of the school year, according to Dick Kuska, editor. J. JL Kosmet Kluli Seeks 'Okay' By Panhell The Kosmet Klub's request for coed participation in the annual Spring Show has won enthusias tic support from 57 student or ganizations representing general student opinion. In today's Letterip column, th groups endorsed the Kosmet Klub move to promote a produc tion "integrating the best in cam pus entertainment talent." The approval which comes as a culmination of the concentrated drive to win student backing, was foremost among the Klub's reorganization goals which re ceived first consideration last spring. The mixed cast idea would re vamp the entire procedure which has been used for spring shows in the past. Eliminate Slapstick First announcement of the plan was published in the Daily Nebraskan Oct. 11. It stated that the modification would be presented to the student body for their support. Such a step would "do away with the much-criticized slapstick and make room for real musical comedy enter tainment." Leon Peiffer stated then: "When men dress as women, wholesome musical comedy is obviously impossible and bur lesque is inevitable. Inclusion of coeds in the Spring Show would alleviate the situation." In order to accomplish the de sired aims, organizations which generally represent every student on campus were contacted to discuss the plan. Affirmation was received from every group reached. Special meetings were held with coeducational groups in or der to familiarize them with the plans and purposes of the entire program. Kosmet Klub members decided that if the new type of show was to be at all successful, it would require the backing of coeds themselves. AH Groups Approve . All the coed groups visited gave prompt approval of the plan. The Panhellenic council has not voted yet, but will give their decision at the next meet ing. Both independent and Greek coeducational social and activity organizations were included in the list of supporting groups. The Student Council sanction of the plan added the endorse ments of the following groups: Ag Exec board, Corn Cobs, Builders, WAA, military depart ment, publications, ISA, Engi neers Exec board, YMCA, Inter fraternity council, Cosmopolitan club, Religious Welfare council, Tassels, YWCA and N-club. A survey of other colleges with similar enrollments, traditions and administrational set-ups re vealed that most these schools with groups similar to Kosmet Klub, sponsored coeducational productions. Survey Revelation Other points revealed that the shows were for the most part: 1. Annual; 2. composed of com binations of Greek and inde pendent students; 3. fully sup ported by the faculty; and 4. fully supported by students. Such a production staged at the University and sponsored by the Klub, is believed by mem bers would boast the same de scription. Schools with such shows in cluded the Universities of the following: California, California at Los Angeles, Cornell, Kansas, Kansas State, Louisiana State, Michigan State, Missouri, North western, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn State, Purdue, Southern Methodist and Wisconsin. Photo Group Displays Art Work in Union Photographs 'of varied types 1 are now being displayed on the walls of the Union game room by the. Kappa Alpha Mu pho tography dub. , . . Human interest, tragedy, aes thetic beauty and ar-stractness are some of the picture themes.

One photo of a fire is printed in red and black tones of a nocturnal blaze. side are shots o children and religious subjects, A girl , read- . ing a Bible between two candles is one example of the pictures in that line. The camera angle on a shot of an actor's tortured facial expression is another of the serious toned pictures. Even, filth covered garbage can become an appropriate sub ject for one photographer. Just a pair of gloves were caught by someone's camera and their Lke ness is now a part of the exhibit. Shots of tumblers and silver dishes are- part of the show, along with a picture of the dimly lighted Coliseum.
