Chinese
Occupy
Seoul
Allies Give Up
Kimpo Airfield
Red Chinese troops are now oc
cupying abandoned, fire-gutted
Seoul. They also -smashed across
the frozen Han river to fight the
retreating allied forces west of
the deserted capital.
The Reds' swift movement is
aimed at pushing United Nations
troops into the Yellow sea at In
chon, Seoul's big port, 18 miles
to the west.
The swift seizure of the red
capital and the crossing of the
frozen Han underlined General
MacArthur's report on the dan
ger of & pincers .enveloping
Inchon.
The sheer weight of the seem
ingly endless Chinese Reds forced
the allies to evacuate the city.
They blew the last bridges over
the Han river and destroyed
Kimpo airfield, leaving the ruins
to the Reds. ,
United Nations forces protect
i ing Inchon, Seoul's supply port,
withdrew by sea.
Before leaving, army demoli
tion experts were setting off
charges that left the docking fa
cilities and railway yards in ruin.
The enemy would not be able to
find a thing remaining useable.
The main body of the U. S.
Eighth army was pulling back
southward by land instead of by
Inchon.
Price, Wag Controls
Necessary Truman
President Truman said that he
believes across-the-board price
and wage controls eventually will
be necessary to stop inflation.
If a price controls law went
Into effect such price ceilings
must be lower than the highest
prices before the Korean war or
parity whichever is higher. Par
ity is a figure calculated to give
the farmer a fair return for his
products.
Truman also stated that he is
not considering asking the U.N.
for permission to bomb red
China. He believes war can be
avoided for there is always hope
that his country can negotiate
its differences with Russia.
Demo-Republican
Coalition Formed
A coalition of republicans and
southern democrats was firmly
bound in control of the 82nd
congress opening, biding its time
. to put thumbs down on many of
President Truman s fair deal
proposals.
It leaders promised clear sail
ing to anything they consider
necessary to national defense.
A similar informal GOP-Dixie
coalition bottled up or rejected
much of Truman's domestic pro
gram in the last congress. Be
cause of the increased republican
strength in the new session, the
next two critical years are ex
pected to be even more potent
New Chemicals
May Improve
Ice Skating
Lincoln skating facilities may
be improved before next winter
rolls around.
The Lincoln Recreation board
has started a long-range program
which includes experimentation
to find a suitable way to make
artificial ponds.
The announcement comes at
the same time that the Univer
sity intramural program em
barked on a new intramural
hockey program. Facilities for
the hockey games will come from
Ag college where the tractor
testing lab field is frozen over
each winter.
However, additional and bet
tered pond facilities in Lincoln
would help University students
in both recreational skating fa
cilities and possible "practice in
tramural sessions."
New Chemicals
New chemicals are now on the
market to make soil hold water
better. Lincoln is planning ex
perimental plots to see how the
chemicals work.
Artificial ponds have been set
up over the country on tennis
courts, sand-lots and on athletic
fields successfully.
As for the possibility of addi
tional skating facilities on the
University campus, officials could
not be contacted for comment.
However, a number of plots may
be available in case a method is
worked out for inexpensive for
mation of ponds.
Among these possible sites
might be the newly cleared land
east of the military science build
ing. Construction of athletic
buildings and tennis courts which
arc on the docket for this site
may be held up by state emer
gency orders.
New Skating Area

that this area couldt be utilized

"Yes, I know my number is
5832, but my uncle in Huskerville
just fell in Oak Creek, and I have

Exaggerated? yes! but not
half as original as some of the
wierd tales pulled on the patient
and "understanding" doormen at
the Military and Naval Science
building by those who "just have
to register, right this minute."
One of the most common ways
of getting registered earlier is
fairly simple, but not always
foolproof. It consists of merely I
having the students with lower
numbers giving their remittance
flips to

those having higher
However for some master
minds, this method is just too
simple.
Another favorite scheme is the

or "Tve got-a-doetor's-appoint-ment"
routine.

After this is completed, the pull

of admission. He emphasizes the
fact that no student should cut
class to register. Exchanging
lower numbers for higher num
bers should also be discouraged
because it is confusing and un
ethical to all concerned. Dr.
Hoover would appreciate sug
gestions to prevent this.
New Rule
Registration fees are to be paid
alphabetically beginning Jan. 22.
The schedule is: Jan. 22, A-G;
Jan. 23, H-Q; and Jan. 24, R-Z.
No student may register or add
a course after 12 noon, Febr. 17.
This is a new registration
ruling. Adding as well as drop
ping classes costs the student
money. Register carefully.
Second semester classes begin
Monday Jan. 29.
A new system of "orange
check cards" has been inaugu
rated this year to prevent con
fusion and also to keep students
from registering before their
numbers come up.
Each student, upon admittance
to the drill hall, is given his
orange card, which is alphabeti
cally filed. He must present this
card to the final checkers when
he has completed his registration.
Students Still
May Contact
Advisers at Ag
Ag students who have not yet
seen their adviser,, may still do
so if they act promptly, accord
ing to a notice from Dr. Hix
son's office. '
Hixson is assistant dean in
charge of Ag college registra
tion. The notice said that Ag stu
dents do not need assignment
numbers before they continue
with their registration.
Students who have seen their
advisors and have their sched
ules completed are advised to
complete registration procedure
by going to the Military and
Naval Science building, second
floor, with worksheets in hand.
Contrary to city campus stu
dent procedure, Ag students' re
quirements for entry to the regis
tering room are that they have
work sheets and that it be the
proper class registering day.
Seniors registered Thursday,
juniors registered Friday, sopho
mores Saturday. Freshman reg
istration will be Monday and
Tuesday next week.
Students are classed accord
ing to the
number of hours
earned prior to Sept. 1.
Seniors are students with 89
or more hours. Juniors must
have 53 hours. Sophomores are
required to have 27 hours.
Dr. Hixson said that students
scheduled for less than 12 hours
or more than 18 hours must go to
his office for approval. The as

characteristics of the student

YM-YW relation to other organi
zations and the fair share finance
plan.
The student delegates sent in
their preferences before attend
ing the assembly as to the hear
ing group with which they would
like to work.
Audrey Flood worked with the
program emphasis group which
determines what the YM-YW
policy will be during the next
four years.
The YM-YW governing policy
for the next four years will
place emphasis on working for a
just peace. Miss Flood said. This
just peace, she continued, will
include all phases of peace such
as military, racial equality and
economic justice.
In order to obtain this "just
peace," Miss Flood explained, the
program will be divided into four
separate but related groups.
These are personal life, higher
education, Christian heritage and
fellowship and the nation and
the world.
Develop Leaders
Miss Flood stressed that the
main purpose of this new policy
would be to develop Christian
leaders or workers who could
bring about this peace.
One of the important ideas of
the assembly, as observed by
Audrey Flood, was the realiza
tion of all students of the need
ior a greater religious faith in
their lives.
One activity of the assembly j
which seemed especially mean
! ingful to Miss Flood was the
i iiiiimi iTi ii in np n t rn mnav
morning which was attender" by
the entire assembly membership.
She felt that this was impor
tant "since a wide variance of
religions was represented at the
communion" which was presided
over by Rev. Joseph King.

part in the University Religion-

Miss Flood also emphasized
that an effort was made by the
hearing group members to relate
any emphasis placed on world
or racial ideas to their own per
sonal life. Practical application
of principles discussed by the
aswembly was stressed.

All college classes were dis
missed Thursday at York college
due to a fire which completely
destroyed the 60-year-old Ad
ministration building Wednesday
night
Firemen from Bradshaw, Bene
dict and Waco aided York fire
fighters in battling the flames,
but they were hampered seriously
by freezing temperatures and lack
of water pressure. Many York
college students also helped com
bat the blaze.
The blaze, discovered in the
three-story brick and stone build
ing was discovered about 8 p.m.
and raged out of control until
nearly 3 a.m.
Dr. G. T. Savery, college busi
ness manager, said all student and
financial records kept in the Ad
ministration building were saved
but many things were lost
The building was built at a cost
of only $20,000 sixty vears ago
but today it will take $300,000 to
replace the old structure. There
was some insurance on the build
ing. Due to the hard work of the
firemen and the lack of wind, the
surrounding buildings, which in
cluded the library, the school's
heating plant and the new wom
en's dormitories were undamaged.
No one was inside at the time
the alarm was turned in. The
flames were not discovered until
seen breaking through the roof.
