The United States is at
war with the Communist
block today, according to
Col. V. R. .Rawie, prof, of
Military Science and Tac
tics told the Daily Nebras
kan. The war he spoke of is
one of "political, .economic
and cultural warfare." .
"We are in a cold war
today where all forces oth
er than military are being
used," he said. y
As long as the Commu

Reorganization Plan
Board of Control Asks
IFC to Compromise
The University Board of Control indicated that the pro
posed Interfraternity Council reorganization plan would re
quire a compromise between the Board and the IFC before
final approval. Ernest Dewey, board member, said, "The
proposal is a case of some things that we don't like and some
things that they (the IFC) don't like."
He indicated the need for a
compromise and stated,
"Everyone concerned should
find proper footing."
Dewey refers to the groups
interested in the plan as the
IFC, the fraternities, "the
Alumni Advisory Council, the
Board of Control, the Dean of
Student Affairs Office and the
Administration.
He said the Board was
"composed of fraternity men,
who are working construc
tively toward keeping frater
nities on the campus."
"There is a great necessity
for a constructive forward
move," he said.
The next Board meeting is
scheduled for Nov. 28. Defin
ite action concerning the plan
may be taken at that time
Dewey indicated.

Future War
Col. Rawie said he felt
there would definitely be a
future war but he was not
sure of what kind: "gen
eral war or a lesser war,
I cannot say."
"When two nations final
ly maneuver themselves
into a -position where com
munication is finally brok

able. Both nations will use
the total amount of force
they need to win that war,"
he explained.

Education
Must Serve
New Era
Hardin Addresses
Land Grant Schools
Chancellor Clifford M. Har
din told members of the
American Association of Land
Grant Colleges that "higher
education is being called up
on to serve a new American
era."
The association, which
next year observes the cen
tennial anniversary of the
land-grant college system, is
deeply committed, Chancellor
Hardin said, to the mainte
nance of broad educational
opportunity and has a spe
cial obligation to preserve
and strengthen the demo
cratic traditions in the realm
of education.
The new generation, he
said, faces the task of con
tinuing the nation's domestic
development and, in addi
tion, faces the new challenge
of extending educational de
mocracy throughout the
world. Their most important
task, be said, is advancing,
"unique and unknown ad
ventures in space."
To properly help in the
preparation of the new gen
eration, Chancellor Hardin
suggested emphasis upon:
Giving students "a rock of
moral values" as well as an
understanding of a field of
specialization.
Adjusting course offerings
to include more on "the long
neglected Afro-Asian and
Latin American parts of the
world."
Acting to keep open the
avenues to participation in
higher education even though
accomplishment of the ob
jective probably will require
the opening of new institu
tions and programs.
Giving effective attention
to the problem of providing
so-called terminal education
to young people who do not
include college in their ca
reer plans.
Pushing ahead the develop
ment of continuing education
without duplications of effort
in extension programs.
Working out policies which
will permit, without impair
ment of teaching programs,
the continued growth of re
lationship between universi
ties and governmental agen
cies in research and special
services.
Preparing for a greater
emphasis on and an enlarge
ment of graduate education.
