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

the reorganization of local govern
ment and the revival of the tradi
tion of municipal self-government,
which is an old and deeply-rooted
tradition in Italy.
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.

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. Kosmet Klub.
Kosmet Klub officers have
announced that there will be a
meeting in room 315 of the
Union today at 5 p. m., for all
applicants interested in the
Klub. Dick Folda announced
that this will be the last chance
for men desiring consideration
for honorary membership in
Kosmet Klub.

Aivgivan's Out!
Campus Takes
Event Calmly
The Awgwan has been pub
lished. 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.

Nebraska Association To Open
Annual Art Exhibit March 3
BY SUE GOLDEN.
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.

the diplomat requested that he
should speak'informally to a small
audience of only students and
faculty.
Lord Halifax will be intro

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. Since that time Halifax
has worked hard in an effort to
promote a complete understand
ing between the people of Amer
ica and Britain.
Instructors may dismiss classes
for the convocation with the ap
proval of the department head,
according to T. J. Thompson, dean
of student affairs.
