It Happened At NU
The days of the Crib's low-fi jukebox, which,
usually sounded as if it were being played
under water, are gone forever.
A shiny glass and chromium one has "taken
Its place. But the modernization comes high . . .
the price has gone up to ten cents.

The Lincoln area can expect no relief from
the present cold snap Tuesday. The expected

Assigned Car
For Patrols
The University's police depart

will have a regular car of its own

It will be radio-equipped and main

"The University police," Selleck

The Outside World:
Hall: 'Talk Encouraging'
By BARB SHARP
i Staff Writer
After a conference with President Eisenhower, Republican Na
tional Chairman Leonard Hall declared he felt f'very much encour
aged" about prospects that the President will run for re-election.
Hall, however, indicated that the President himself did not say
what his decision will be about a second term. He predicted that Ike
will run in 1956 "if he feels able" and that he will defeat the Demo
cratic candidates by a larger margin than in 1952. ' ,
The conference with Hall was the President's first political dis-.
cussion since his heart attack Sept. 24.
Better Farm Information Asked
Secretary of Agriculture Benson called upon agricultural econo
mists and educators1 to help farmers by supplying them with adequate,
reliable economic information.
Speaking before the department's 33rd annual agriculture' outlook
conference, Benson declared that fanners', problems are very real
but "they are working out of their .difficulties with fewer hardships
than in any other postwar period in history."
Army-Air Squabble Grows
The feud between the Army and the Air Force over the Army's
growing aircraft fleet is expected to reach a showdown before Secre
tary of Defense Charles Wilson.
Denying any intent to duplicate the combat jobs of the Air Force,
the Army intends to change a 1952 agreement which it believes
gravely restricts its flying rights. The Air Force suspects the Army
of trying to establish its own air force.
The disagreement came, to a head last week when Donald
Quarles, Air Secrettary, revealed that -he had overruled an Air Force
general and permitted the Army to test a new aviation unit in the
Louisiana war games.
Cold War To Push South
Diplomatic experts in the U.S. predict that Communist strategy for
Round Two of the Cold War will be to hold the line in Europe and push
steadily south in the Middle and Far East.
' The new Communist plan is expected to involve trade concessions
and economic aid. A study of communist strategy by U.S. officials
Indicates tlhat this Communist policy is not the kind that can be
checked solely by a "policy of containment."
The Committee on International Policy of the National Planning
Assn. reviewing the situation in a report, said the cold war is in its
"most perilous phase."
His Own" and "I Wonder." Also
in 1947 he won first place in Bill
board magazine's popularity poll
in the greatest allaround and popu
lar music categories.
Howard and his band have played
engagements at Chicago's Aragon
Ballroom, New York's Commodore
Hotel, New York's Capitol Theater
and Los Angeles' Cocoanut Grove.
Besides conducting the orchestra,
Howard plays the trombone 'and
guitar, sings and composes many
of the songs that his group plays.
He uses "Careless" as his -theme
song. A male trio also does some
of the vocal selections.
Howard started his career in 1!$39
when he sang "My Last Goodbye"
which was number one song on the
Hit Parade foi several weeks.
Shortly after World War II How
ard started his own band.

The first clear picture of how
atomic energy may be used to per
form useful, fruitful work will be
unveiled Thursday and Friday at
the University at the Nuclear En
ergy Institute.
At the first Institute of its kind
held in the Midwest, authorities
will attempt to explain the busi
ness and industrial application of
nuclear energy on the level of the
businessman and industrialist.
Scientists who have made rapid
progress in harnessing atomic en
ergy since the first controlled chain
reaction occurred in 1942 believe
that "the possibilities are unlimit
ed."
A few accomplishments which
will be discussed include the ap
plication toward food, medical di
agnosis and treatment, generation
of power, agriculture and plastic
and metal manufacture.
What use can be made of the by
products of an atomic power pile,
such as the one to be constructed
in Nebraska by Consumers Public
Power District?
How can Nebraska management
plan for the future' with atomic
energy included in the picture?
Scientists who have made rapid
progress in harnessing atomic en
ergy since the first controlled chain
reaction occurred in 1942 believe
that "the possibilities are unlimit
ed." Here are a few specific accom
plishments which will be discussed
at the Institute:
Sterilization and preservation of
meats and vegetables throug
atomic radiation.
Medical diagnosis and treatment
of various diseases with atomic
radiation, including cancer, brain
tumors, diseases of blood and thy
roid.
Generation of electricity by
atomic power plants.
Atomic engines powering ocean
going vessels.
Transformation of ordinary alco
hol into permanent anti-freeze.
Sterilization of penicillin, corti-
zone, and rabies vaccine through
irradiation (sterilization by heat
not possible because of spoilage).
Discovery of new physiological
facts through the use of radioactive
isotopes as tracers.
New and improved plastics
through the rearrangement of nuc
lear structure of matter.

Biochemistry
Building Bids
Authorized
Board of Regents Saturday
morning authorized the chancellor
to seek bids on the proposed Bio
chemistry building to be construct
ed on the College of Agriculture
campus.
The three-story structure will
house the department of biochem
istry and nutrition which is con
cerned with the basic research in
problems relating to agriculture
and other fields.
The modern building will have a
detached lecture room which may
be used as a small auditorium on
the College's campus. The room
will seat 192 people.
Consisting mainly of laboratory
and research areas, the building
will contain 35,000 square feet of
floor space and will measure 50
feet wide by 200 feet long. Con
struction is expected to begin next
March, and the completion date is
January, 1948.
