Julian Bryan Describes Chile
In Absorbing Movie-Lecture
BY SAM WARREN.
In a movie-lecture convocation
at the Union Thursday, Julius
Bryan, Princeton-educated pho
tographer and foreign corres
pondent, presented an absorbing
account of the country of Chile
and the attitude of Chileans
toward prospective world condi
tions following the war.
"As an outsider, I find your
peace conference studies here at
the University of Nebraska very
interesting, as any one would,"
said Mr. Bryan in opening his lec
ture. "We mustn't fail in what
may be our last chance, before
the world destroys itself, to make
a lasting peace, he continued
"What is so encouraging about
this last Big Three conference at
Yalta is not that momentous de
cisions are being made, but that
countries are getting together over
, the round table to discuss prob
lems calmly, and in person in
stead of by correspondence." Such
Coeds Receive
Mortar Board
Tea Invitations
University coeds receiving in
vitations will attend the annual
Mortar Board tea honoring high
scholarship, held Sunday after
noon from 3 to 5 in Ellen Smith
hall.
Invitations to the tea were sent
to coeds who attended school both
semesters of the 1943-44 school
year, carried at least 12 hours
each semester, retained an 80 or
above average for both semes
ters, and registered for 12 hours
the first semester of this school
year. No graduate or freshman
students were included in the list.
Present Awards.
At 4 p. m., presentation of sen
ior and scholarship awards will
be made. Senior awards will be
given to outstanding senior
women, not Mortar Boards, for
exceptional work in scholarship
and activities.
Freshman honor scholarships
will be presented at this time
also. The scholarships, each
worth $75, will be given to four
students showing unusual ability
in some specific field and retain
ing an 85 average for both se
mesters Oi their freshman year.
Peace Committee
Groups Announce
Final Resolutions
Adoption of final resolutions
was the business of the 12 con
ference committees of the experi
mental peace conference at their
meetings Thursday afternoon.
Chairmen of the committees
have been asked by the planning
committee to have a copy of the
final resolutions turned in at the
Union office by 2 a. m. this after
noon.
Mimeographed Copies.
The planning committee has
mimeographed copies of the reso
lutions already turned in by sev
eral of the committees and these
copies will be distributed to all
organized groups concerned in the
peace conference today or early
Saturday.
The mimeographed copies will
be used by house delegations in
proposing amendments in the two
plenary sessions of the conference
discussions as this university con
ference, he stated, are helping
toward that lasting peace.
Chile Distrustful.
While Chile appreciates our
Good Neighbor policy in itself
despite what Mr. Bryan described
as the "unfair report of your Sen
ator Butler" Chile is distrustful
of the constancy of this policy.
"What will you Americans do to
morrow?" is a question which
many Chileans have asked Bryan.
"And although I reassure them
that it will continue," he said,
"they smile and turn away."
A question of great concern to
Chile is this: Will the United
States carry on a healthy two
way tiatz with Chile? Millions
of dollars of goods will come into
Chile, they know, but will Amer
ica buy Chilean goods in return?
Already 75 to 100 million dol
lars' worth of copper from U. S.-

Following Three
Weeks9 Recess
After a recess of three weeks
the Student Council met Wednes

lems. Stuart Goldberg was ap
pointed to interview Chancellor
C. S. Boucher concerning the re
sults of the Student Health re
port.
' The Student Foundation report
for the year 1944 was read by
Jean Larson and accepted by the
council. Helen Vennum and Jim
Abnor were elected to compile a
list of senior men and women

lect a member for the Student
Union Board.
A committee headed by Roberta
Collins will continue to investi
gate the possibility of obtaining
more lights for the campus and
increasing police protection on the

tions are taken because of reports
that coeds have been bothered
after dark. The council plans to
meet again next Wednesday If
peace conference meetings do
not interfere.
