Statistics
Traffic accident statistics are cold, cruel numerical
facts. Seldom are they cheerful; invariably they are fright
ening and apalling. And always they are hard to change.
But sometimes we cheat those long rows of figures
and percentages and come out on top. One of these infre
quent times has been brought to our attention by Mr. Ray
Osborn, director of public safety in the city of Lincoln.
"When a town can reverse the national average," says
Mr. Osborn, "especially with the number of students we
have, I consider that a fine record. I am very happy that
people can t always say it is
the accidents.
We agree with Mr. Osborn this is an outstanding
record for the students at the University. Statistics always
have shown in the past that drivers in the age group 16 to
25 are involved in a high comparative percentage of acci
dents. The presence of the University in Lancaster county
and the large increase of 16 to 25 year old drivers from it,
would tend to swing the balance towards more traffic ac
cidents. It speaks very well for all Nebraska students that
this is not the case.
The relentless fight to prevent fatal accidents should
not diminish, however, even though statistics are now in
our favor. Excessive speed, extreme carelessness and the
indulgence in alcoholic beverages while driving can quickly
fill the debit side of the ledger unless there is a concen
trated effort by all to prevent accidents.
Statistics are hard to change. But they can be through
the consciousness of the student body that it has been,
and could be responsible for a greater number of accidents.
Student drivers who bear this fact in mind and who prac
tice the simple safety rules will keep themselves and their
friends out of the statistic columns.
To The Student Body:
I would like to express my sincere thanks to the various organ
izations and individuals that made this year's Card Section a success.
The Cobs and Tassels for their hard work on those cold Saturday
mornings, Mr. Don Lentz for his words of wisdom and able counsel
ing, and Mr. Lewandowski and "Potsy" Clark for their wonderful
cooperation. Also to each one of the 1,386 students that form the
card section I would like to say "thank you", for without your co
operation the Card Section could not exist.

An appeal for cooperation
with the International Union of
Students was sent to the Na
tional Student association in the
United States recently. The ap
peal was contained in letters
sent from the IUS headquarters
in Communist-controlled Czech
oslovakia. A copy of the appeal, ad-
dressed to "students in the Unit-
ed States," was sent to the Daily j
Nebraskan. j
The NSA was asked to join ;
the international student group j
in working for peace and a re- j
duction of world armaments.
The IUS letter was signed by
Josef Grohman, president, and '
Giovanni Berlinguer, general
secretary. The IUS is composed (

Americans Not Members
The American NSA has not
joined the group, although
American observers have at
tended IUS congresses held in
Europe during the past few
years.
The IUS letter asks that:
American students join in de
manding a peaceful settlement
of the Korea question.
Aid be extended to "students
of Viet Nam and Malaya, who
nrf att.-mntincr tn tuzt f)ff
' the yoke of foreign domination."
Active support be given to stu
dent organizations of Puerto
Rico, "which have been banned
because of their activities for na
tional independence."
Korean Intervention
I Grohman and Berlinguer point j
iouti ..we know qujte well what
'tne intervention in Korea means
t for the peoples of the countries
i . : i .
whose armies have been sent
into Korea . . . militarization;
vast war budgets; decreased so
cial services; increased taxation;
increased prices . . . and repres
sion of peace supporters."
They continue in the letter,
"it means for U.S. students . . .
military service, increased costs,
deteriorating educational facili
ties . . . perversion of their
knowledge for murder and de
struction and eradication of per
sonal and collective freedoms."
The IUS letter flays the Uni
versity of California "loyalty
oath," the banning at Harvard of
the John Reed and Young Pro
gressive clubs and the McCar
ran bill.
"Students who work actively
for peace, against the oppression
of Negroes, for reduction of mili
tary expenditures . . . will be
subject to prosecution," Groh
man and Berlinguer predict.
The IUS officers invite the
NSA to send American students
to participate in European sports
and cultural festivals, to submit
articles to the IUS news service,

Greece to Receive
Aid From AUF
Almost one-half of the Univer
sity s contributions to auk is-
distributed through the World
Student Service fund. All organ
ized houses were asked to desig
nate which country they wanted
their contributions to benefit,
and Jackie Sorenson, Secretary
of AUF has announced that
Greece has been chosen to re
ceive the AUF aid.
In Greece there are many stu
dents who are tuberculosis
patients. These students have
neither medicine nor hospitals
and because of lack of money to
combat the disease it is spread
ing. The major project of World
Student Relief this year has been
the building of a pavillion for
tubercular students. The AUF
contributions will be of great as
sistance in the promotion of a
rest center in Greece.
Greece was selected from five

BY REX MESSERSMITH . .
Today is the first day of Farm
and Home Days out here at
Agricultural College!
The purpose of this program is
to acquaint any out-state people
with the ac-
complishments
and the op
p o r t u n ities
found on the
Ag College
campus. Many
talks and
panel discus
sions are on
the program
which deal
with almost f i
nnv s u b i e c t I
that a person Messersmith
might be interested in.
It is an annual event spoored
by the Lincoln Junior Chamber
of Commerce and the College of
Agriculture. This year it will last
through Friday afternoon with
special sections of the program
for about every phase of Agri
culture. There are portions of the pro
gram on ag economics, ag engi
neering, agronomy, animal and
dairy husbandry, home economics
and poultry husbandry.
If the visitors want to eat, ot
course there are the Ag cafeteria
and the Dell in the Ag Union. In
addition to this the Block and
Bridle club, Varsity Dairy club
and the Student Ag Engineering
society are all serving food to the
crowd.
Congratulations are due Alene
Ochsner, Lawrence Murphy and
Rex Meyer for being selected to
attend the national 4-H club con
gress this last week. Also, Bev
erly Kunc and Charles Klasek
should be mentioned for enter
taining the club congress as part
of the Saline County trio. Seems
as how Ag campus was pretty
weu represented.
The University sported some
judging teams around the coun
try this last weekend. Crops
judgers went to Kansas City, Mo.,
and to the International Live
stock exposition. The livestock
judging team was also at the
International.
From reports close to the
agronomy department, the crops
team had a little automobile mis
hap while on the trip. Oh well, it
just damaged the car and not
any of the members, luckily. An
other mishap reported from the
trip was the fact that the ribbons
won by the crops team displayed

a blow to these Agronomy
majors!
Ag Union is planning to "throw"
a "snowball" next Jan. 5. This is
not as fantastic as it sounds,
since the "snowball" is the an
nual Sno-Ball dance which is
held each winter after Christmas
vacation to help the students get
"into the swing" of things.
Bobby Mills has been con
tracted to furnish music for the
affair and in my opinion this is
about the most danceable music
in this part of the country.
Rumors have it that there is a
possibility of a hobby show with

AUF Agenda
To Include
TB Seal Sales
The All-University Fund under
the direction of Joe Lisher is
handling the 1950 Christmas seal
sales Tuesday Tuesday through
Friday on the University cam
pus. The drive is a part of the Lan
caster County Tuberculosis asso
ciation project. The sale of the
Christmas seals is the only finan
cial appeal made by the associa
tion for its year-round program
of tuberculosis prevention and
control.
Rather than begin any con
certed effort toward selling the
seals, AUF is sending out letters
with seals enclosed td the or
ganized houses on campus.
According to Jo Lisher, there
is "no need to extol the advan
tages of the Tuberculosis associ
ation's project."
The free chest X-ray survey
center in downtown Lincoln is
dependent for its operations on
seal sales.
The Lancaster county drive is
now in its second week of cam
paigning and will continue until
Dec. 25. The first week has
brought in a total of $4,454 or
22 percent of the goal of $19,875
set by the association as the
amount needed to finance its 1951
program.
Sales in the individual houses
will be handled by the respective
house solicitors. AUF treasurer,
Gene Johnson, will take all col
lections from the solicitors Fri
day. "AUF assumed the responsibil
ity of selling the seals," said Miss
Lisher, "with the realization that
no project is more worthy of
support."
prizes and all. Hope it's not just
a rumor.
Ag Union is also inaugurating
a ping-pong tournament next
Monday at noon. It is quite
unique in that any one who is in
terested is eligible, but it will
only last from 12:15 to 12:45.
All entrants will place their
names in a hat and then the four
pairings will compete in succes
sive elimination . contests until
the winner is crowned. Hollis
Eggers, Ag Union activities di
rector, said that all spectators are
more than welcome, so all you
ping-pong fans come over to the
Ag Union next Monday noon.
