rro) rd nn w fm Vol. 45, No. 56 Fellman Urges Bolder Action on Italian Policy Di. David Fellman, professor of political science, at the first of a lecture series sponsored by the university extension division, em phasized Wednesday night that American policy in Italy should clearly define our desire to estab lish democracy there and to elim inate the fascist heritage. "We should give every possible aid and encouragement to the many democratic forces and im pulses of the country," Fellman said. "We should refuse any sup port to the anti-democratic forces. It is of course difficult to trans late this general policy into spe cific terms in concrete situations; but it still remains that we ought to know what, in sum, we really want." Problems Still Exist. Fellman declared that many major political problems now face Italy, among them the future of the monarchy, the property ques tion, the purge of fascists and fascist influences, the threat of the rise of neo-fascism, the elections to the constituente (constitutional Follies Director Calls Practice For TNC, Skits Candidates for Typical Ne braska Coed will hold a dress re hearsal in the dormitory tonite at 7:30, according to Eleanor Knoll, Follies director.

Having just returned from the Army University Study Center at Florence, which offered him an opportunity to make a study of Italy's problems, Dr. Fellman be lieves that these political questions may be solved through five major post-war developments: 1. An experience of over 20 years of fascism, which has had the net effect of producing a po litically illiterate and intellectu ally sterilised population. 2. The disaster of defeat in a major war, with its accompani ment of physical destruction, mili tary and civilian casualties and general demoralization. 3. A post-war heritage of frus tration, bitterness, inflation, star vation and nakedness. (See FELLMAN, page 4.) Moritz Reports Acute Shortage Of Teachers An "alarming" shortage of teachers, even greater than dur ing the war years, is faced by Ne braska schools next fall, according to R. D. Moritz, director of the university's educations service de partment. Moritz declared Wednesday that the shortage would be caused by (1) a great number of veterans wives retiring from teaching on the return of their husbands from the service: (2) insufficient num ber of veterans re-entering the teaching profession after dis charge from the service; and (3) a steady decline in the number of teachers being trained by the uni versity and other Nebraska teach ers and denominational colleges. Requests Received. The teacher placement bureau of the university already has 75 requests from Nebraska high school and elementary schools. Moritz commented that this is far in excess of normal for the month of February, and predicted that requests would reach an es timated 2,000 by April with the probability of less than 500 teach ers available to satisfy the de mand.

It has been more or less forced on the forewarned student body. At long last the unlucky ones who have a stray quarter can read all about the life and times of one George Tierney Shestak, the irrelevant story of the found ing of the Campus Line, and Trip ammer Peepash's incidental con tribution. The contents of this "humor" magazine are somewhat humor ous, that is if you're in a humor ous mood. Several jokes are thrown in, but the one redeeming line of print we noticed was the mention of the New York Times and the Daily Nebraskan in the same breath. We ignored the car toon on page 13. Uninspiring Issue. This issue of the' Awgwan wasn't particularly inspiring (is it ever?) but we'll excuse it. They have troubles, too. Incidentally, anyone who might want to read this literary attempt may pick up their copies in the booth in the Union between the hours of 10 and 5 o'clock any day this week. They also sell subscrip tions there, but that's beside the point. Union Weekend Activities Include Dances, Show Union activities this weekend begin with a dance Friday night in the ballroom featuring the Smith-Warren orchestra. The ad mission is 44 cents per person. There will be no regular juke box dance Saturday night be cause of the Barb "Hello" dance.

The story portrays the life of the late Major Frank Cavanaugh, one of football's greatest coaches. Following the movie, coffee will be served in the Union lounge. STUDENT FOUNDATION. Student Foundation will hold a mass meeting tonight in room 315 in the Union. Any one interested in helping pub licize the university is invited to attend, according to Mar garet Neumann, retiring president.

According to arrangements fowarded by Lord Halifax's secretary, Four Home Ec Majors Teach Homemaking Four vocational homemaking education majors left the campus Wednesday for a month's teach ing experience in the "off-campus" teacher-education centers. Doris Atkison will be in Ashland, Lor raine French in Lyons, Vivian Ferris in Pawnee City and Lois Opper in Stanton. The students live in the com munity, are considered regular members of the school faculty and carry on the in-school and out-of-school activities which are the responsibilities of the resident homemaking teacher. They will also have experience in teaching adult classes in homemaking. Provides Teaching Experience. The trend among teacher-education institutions is to provide off-campus teaching experience for their students, but at this time (See HOME EC, page 4.)

University students will be given an opportunity to see free of charge what has been reported as one of the finest art exhibits between Chicago and the Pacific coast when the Nebraska Art as sociation opens its 56th annual exhibition of contemporary art, March 3 at Morrill hall. These exhibits, which have given many groups the chance to study and enjoy art for a number of years, have resulted in a greater appreciation of better art among Lincoln residents, several or whom now buy pictures for homes and offices from these ex hibits. Thursday, February 21, 1946 the diplomat requested that he should speak'informally to a small audience of only students and faculty. Lord Halifax will be intro duced to the audience by Chan cellor C. S. Boucher, who has not yet been informed "what the topic of the address will be. Mid-West Tour. Touring the mid-western states, Lord Halifax is endeavoring to further explain American and British relations. He has held one of the most difficult jobs of the war for over five years. When Halifax came to the United States on January 24, 1941, he encountered much anti-British feeling.
