SJuJ rJ LI ITU Vol. 51 No. 136 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Thursday, May 10, 1951 nisei T An all Ag campus student election got underway this morning at 9 a. ro, and is scheduled to continue until 5 p.m. Voting is by secret ballot in the AgUnion where voting booths are set up by the Ag Exec board. The senior Farmers Fair board members and the junior members of the CoU-Agri-Fun board are being se lected. Three men and three women will be elected to the Marshall Says . J s firing iliac Not Caused By UN Allies Defense Secretary George C Marshall denied that the allies caused MacArthur's removal. Testifying for the third day to the senate armed services and foreign relations committees. Marshall said: 1. MacArthur's proposals for hitting directly at the Chinese communists might lead more United States and allied casual ties rather than saving lives. 2. The efforts to limit fighting to Korea have only slightly maybe not at all" affected war casualties. 3. MacArthur was denied his aggressive authority because of the allies and because of our: own feelings that to act other wise in these limited general e auditions would possibly result in a larger casuality list. 4. Japanese have not been al lowed to fight in Korea because of a Chinese-Russian defense pact aimed at Japan. This im-, plied that the Russians might come into the war if Japanese volunteers were used. However, the defense secre tary said that MacArthur's ouar Yel had created uneasiness among United States ailies- ana migni have jeopardized our relation- United States allies' and might ship. Sed Jet Base Blasted by Allies More than 300 allied planes blasted a red jet base, on the Korean-Manchuria border Wed nesday, preventing an expected red aerial offensive. The precise results of the raid were screened by flames and smoke from the deluge of fire bombs, rockets and bullets. Ten square miles were reported to be blanketed by smoke and flames, and hundreds of communist troops were massacred. United Nations planes came from every Korean air field for the attack on the Sinuiju air field, where 70 to 100 red planes had been sported on the ground. Communist troops fell back to or across to 38th parallel all along the rest of the fighting front. Penny-a-Calloa Tax Killed A measure to re-enact a penny-s-gallon gas tax was killed by a state legislature vote of 24 to 17. The legislature members up held Senator Person's statement that the only reason for passing the bill was to appease the farm, petroleum and trucking groups who had fought the gas tax Increase. Peterson stated that at last the leJeat of the bill last November showed the public's opinion, and "we should abide by their decision.'" An Ediinrwl ... .Student Action Needed to Solve University Problem of TNE Now By Jerry Warren It is time to examine the facts of the case pres ently before the administration and students. Un til this time students of this university have done little but talk about four members of TNE being suspended. This is about the extent of it Few have expressed opinions and those who have aren't too emphatic in defense of their opinions. It i time to ask the stuaents point blank this quesiton: 'Do you as students of a large state uni versity facilitating some 8,000 people approve a secret organization within your midst which does more to bring public disfavor to the Uni versity than any other single factor?" Can you, as students of a democratic insitution, tolerate a fscret society which is founded on principles which violently contrast with the bask ideals on which this country survives? There are many sound arguments available if these seemingly intelligent students need them. Among these arguments are these few which can jwt be ignored: First and foremost is the fact that Theta Nu Epsilon, as an organization, is Board of Regents. And therefore any person who vorable criticism as a result of newspaper head-1 chooses to become a member is similarly outlawed line, like, -Four Student Suspended," "TNE As- t:Tl, in ion 20 of the by-law. of the ociation causes Indefinite Expulsion Term." It is Board of 2eeents. If there were than this It would be grounds enough to sub stantiate all possible efforts to uncover the organ ization and insure its demise. These students are defying the University and tH of tb- rule, governing theadministration. This glaring fact alone is evidence enough. Secondly the organization is founded and thrives on secrecy. Does this not cast an air of Ku Klux Kian type activities about the group? Let us take a rather absurd supposition Suppose TNE has definite principles and standards and ambitions which are honorable. If this it true why do tbey feci compelled to keep their Identity unknown and hide their occupations in a cloak of secrecy? If any member of the student body still looks upon TNE with an attitude such as made Robin cloy !! Farmers Fair board. Two men and three women are to compose the new members of the Coll-Agri-Fun board. The women candidates for Farmers Fair board are Mary Ann Grundman, Lois Larson and Janet Ross.

Thirdly, and most important is th organizational foundation upon a lie. Members of TNE must lie and lie frequently to preserve their hidden ident ity. Is this right? Does it conform to any cf our democratic principles? Were there any plausible reason for the identity to be kept such a great be caston the subject. But there is none or if there is, that too is a secret Student opinion is the determining factor in this case. Students organization is case of a student beaten up last fall?

Ales Bebler, will speak at an all University convocation Monday at 10 a. m. in the Union Ballroom. Bebler, president of the Se curity Council for the month of November, 1950. has been a communist member since 1929. He received his appointment to the Security Council in De cember, 1949, after conducting Yugoslavia's campaign for the seat against Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union's candidate. Became Communist At IS Communism first attracted Bebler at the age of 15, because the Soviet Union's program provided for seU-determination for small nations. The economic tenets of communism also ap pealed to him in later years. Shortly after being awarded his doctorate of law in Paris in 1930, Bebler was warned by friends that if Tr returned to Yugoslavia, he would be ar rested Accordingly Bebler trav eled in Europe working for the communist cause ana develop- ing his knowled - of languages.

A recommendation passed Wednesday stipulated the fol lowing: "The Student Council desires that all freshman wear their beanies according to Uni versity tradition." Class Spirit After discussion about the furthering of class and Univer sity spirit by the wearing of freshman beanies, the Council concluded that the banies should be a source of pride among fresh man. The "University tradition" mentioned in the recommenda tion involves the wearing of the beanies until the first snow fall unless the freshman defeat the sophomores in the annual Home coming tug-of-war.
