TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA'S STUDENT WAR COUNCIL and its many worth-while activities. The War Council's work usually goes unheralded, but such widely publicized activities as this week end's council spon sored War Show bring the council and its work very much into the limelight. Now in its third year, the War Council is busy adding to its already impressive list oi accompusnmems. ax. me top executive body for all student war activities, the coun cil sponsors and supervises a multitude of worth-while th lpst of which is the annual War Show. "Til Johnny Comes Marching Home," this year's show, is the third of its kind. As in tne past two years, proceeus from this year's production will be used to back tne coun fiVa vnrinns war activities. And thpse activities are worthy ones. The sale of war ivmia and fitamns drives for tin and scrao metal, bandage rolling for the Red Cross, publication of the Nebraskan for service men, entertainment ior tne iJincom ah dssc pital these and many others are the jobs of the War Council. By sponsoring and directing these worth-while war activities, the Student war councu is compiling muiu of service of which it, and the entire university, may well be proud.

Thru their addresses at the all-important plenary ses sions, these two former UN students should do much to insure the success of their alma mater's miniature peace conference. Peace Conference Previews POSTWAR TREATMENT OF GERMAN INDUSTRIES. By C. E. McNeill. The Big Three have announced their intention to "eliminate or control all German industry that could be used for military produc tion." Since this plan was chosen rather than the Morgenthau pro posal to strip the Reich of all major industries, it is probable an effort will be made to place the emphasis upon the develop ment of German industrial ca pacity to the extent necessary lor producing materials for re parations and subsistence. Germany is to be called upon lor reparations of war damans in kind "to the greatest extent possible." These will consist of materials and labor for replace ment of devastated industries in the various adjacent countries. Russia in particular has insisted upon complete reconstruction of her enormous devastated areas, and the other victims of invasion appear to be following her lead. Such demands will necessitate production in Germany of great quantities of basic materials such as lumber, coal, iron, steel, cop per,, and cement for use in the surrounding nations. Munitions and armament plants may pos sibly be converted to fabrication of steel sheets, beams, rods, pipe, and other building materials more quickly and cheaply than new new plants can be constructed and equipped. On the other hand, fatu eisovmt, INC., I4 Reprinted from th March lima of Eaqulrf 'I :.., To the Staff and Students: You of the Nebraskan can start licking your chops and getting out your sharpest cutting tools for the AWGWAN is about to reappear after a three year absence and don't say you haven't missed it. There's nothing in the world more fun to cut into than a new issue of the AWGWAN. Tuesday afternoon the publications board issued the following statement to members of Theta Sigma Phi and others who pre sented the petition for the renewal of the campus humor magazine: "The following motion was moved, sec onded and approved, that a permission be granted for the publication of a February number of the AWGWAN by the temporary staff, submitted as of this date, subject to the following conditions: First, that the eligibility of the temporary staff be cleared with the dean's office; second, that prior to the publication of the second issue of the AWGWAN, an election be held for perma nent membersof the staff by the publica tions board, open to the competition of all students who care to apply; third, that within the near future the temporary staff submit in writing a full statement of the permanent editorial policy of the AWGWAN and an outline of its business management." The AWGWAN is not coming back to the campus without a purpose, but with a hope that it shall attain and keep a position of permanent respect as a campus publication. Its purpose shall first be to entertain the reader, and second, to provide a means of attaining certain changes on the campus by satire and humorous exposition. Humor which is in obvious bad taste will be ex eluded and it shall not be turned into a joke book. No material containing scathing per sonal references will be accepted for publi cation, but the staff will welcome contnbu tions from all students, faculty members and alumni. Members of Theta Sigma Phi who have been interested in the reinstatement of the AWGWAN wish to take this opportunity to thank the students and faculty members who have helped us attain our end. The support the magazine has gained has been a large factor in its successful reinstate- ment. As was explained during a house to house speaking tour, all organized houses having 100 percent subscription will receive cover girls, and there should -be many of them. Here's wishing the Nebraskan bigger and better AWGWANs into which your in formed critics may sink their teeth. Marylouise Goodwin, Vice President, Theta Sigma Phi. it is reported that Russia in tends to strip much of German industry of its machinery for transportation to Soviet cities where it will be installed in dam aged plants. Need Food. Whatever program of repara tions may be put into effect, there will be no escaping the need for food, clothing, and shelter of the German population who are em ployed in furnishing the exported goods. Such industries will oper ate although their capacity prob ably will be limited to the needs of the German population. The continuance of a heavy reparations program will mean that German industry will have little opportunity to develop pro duction sufficiently to provide a profitable outflow of commercial exports. This implies an eco nomically weak Germany in cen tral Europe. It also means that one of the greatest prewar mar kets for European products will not be permitted to resume its former scope. The major trade routes of western Europe radiate like spokes of a wheel from a German hub. There is serious question as to whether such na tions as Belgium, the Nether lands, the Scandinavian countries. Czechoslovakia, Austria, England, and France can regain their pros perity until their best customer becomes prosperous again. In spite of artificial trade barriers their peace-time economies were so well integrated that they sank or swam together. Reparation First. It seems certain that immediate reparations will come ahead of the general restoration of Ger man industrial activity. This de velopment of postwar policy is certain to be a painful one for all parties concerned. While it continues the United States will probably be expected to make up any deficit that may develop in meeting the requirements for subsistence of the underlying European populations. How long this phase of indus trial manipulation will last is anyone's guess. After it is over Europe may settle down to order ly development of private indus try and commerce under an in ternational pact for reduction and removal of artificial trade bar riers. Or, unable to agree on such a program, and inspired by the Russian object lesson, the na tions may go the way of state socialism. UN StlldcntS a a a (Continued from Page 1.)

Purpose of the as sembly was to tie together the various conclusions reached in discussion rounds and form them into specific proposals which would be forwarded to appro priate congressmen in Washing ton. Other events were victory ora tory, extempore speaking, and radio newscasting. Superior in extempore went to Jacqueline Everett of Iowa State, superior in victory oratory to Mavis Fry of the University of South Dakota, and superior in radio newscasting to Ray Godberson of the Univer sity of South Dakota.

Ernie Larson's rendition , of "Dolores" in the third act was one of the best spots in the show, and Pete Anderson's singing of Bob Foster's original song "Indiffer ent to Me" had the coeds doing a Frank Sinatra. The crazy, climaxing fouith act has as its high spot the original skit, "Concerto In C.D.D." by CarH Ziegler. Zieglers take-off on Danny Kaye had a professional touch, lacking in most of tht show. Peg Shelley, well-known for her piano playing, proved her singing ability, too, with a med ley from "Oklahoma" featuring "I Can't Say No." Billie Trom bla's dancing was rivaled only by the grace and beauty of hula dancers Terry Barton, Ernie Lar son, Ed Robinson, Harold Ander sen, Jim Abdnor and Stuart Gold berg.

Slight Diversion. Difficult to describe was an item billed on the program as "Town Crief' Roslyn "Red" Green. Emitting screams from the back row of the audience, tear ing across the stage in the middle of an act, and rushing in and out noisily thruout the show were only a few of Miss Green's ac complishmnts in adding humor to the show. The finale featured the entire cast singing "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." The show featured three origi nal songs Foster's "Indifferent To Me," "I Don't Care," by Donald Glattly of the school of music, and "That Night in December," by Virginia Eberly. Peg Shelley served as music director and Jo Kinsey and Billie Trombla super vised the dances.
