Russian Forum Wins
Audience Approval
BY SAM WARREN.
Last night's All University
Forum, dedicated to promoting an
understanding of Russia today,
met with the positive favor of -an
audience that overflowed the
Faculty Lounge. After the
sprightly question-period, no one
went away embittered, nor with
totally unanswered questions, but
each raiher with a measure more
authoritative information and
consequently understanding.
Sponsored jointly by the Y. V.
and Y. M., the forum panel per
sented a composite picture of Rus
sian governmental structure, for
eign policy, economics, education,
religions, minority groups and the
people themselves. Student mem
bers of the panel, all 'Y' mem
bers, were Elmer Sprague, Gladys
Jackson, Don Meaders, Phyllis
Warren and Bob Gillan, Dr. G.
W. Gray, associate history profes
sor, sketched the historical back
ground leading to the present gov
ernment. Gerry McKinsey was
moderator.
Opening the panel, Dr. Gray
pointed out that "The revolution
ists tried to pass from fuedalism
to community farm and from an
age of primitive industry to a so
cial millenium of economic equal
ity in one step." Continuing,
he added that the Russians are
YM-YW Collect Relief
Contributions Tonight
The European relief drive of the
YW and YM will close tonight
when the committee collects all
clothes and money from organ
ized houses, and will officially
end tomorrow.
The contributions will be placed
in the Union where Lincoln Board
of Education trucks will make
the final collection Friday. Late
campus contributions will still be
received in the Union tomorrow.
According to Marilyn Mark
kussen, chairman of the commit
tee, the drive is progressing sat
isfactorily. Any house which has
not followed the lead of most
organizations is encouraged to add
its force to the drive.
Money Is Easier.
Although canned goods (espe
cially fruits, vegetables and
meats) are solicited, the commit
tee stresses that university stu
dents may find it easier to give
money instead. All money con
tributed will go to purchase food
w hich can be most easily shipped
abroad.
Each house is asked to place
all money contributions in an

"not unlike ourselves in thinking
that they are misunderstood. They
believe that they are cheated as
to their purposes in international
affairs.'' What determed "Soviet-Pan-Salvism,"
or total national
ism, is responsible for Russia's
feeling it necessary to be neigh
bored by states friendly to her
self. This point was born out by Bob
Gillan who declaied that "Russia's
foreign policy is based on distrust,
suspicion, and fear!" Citing cer
tain London, Munich and San
Francisco conference actions as
examples which confirmed Rus
sia's belief that the capitalist
world is openly against her, Mr.
Gillan stated that nevertheless
Russia is as anxious for the UNO
to succeed as any nation is. Nor
is she willing to throw herself
more whole-heartedly behind the
UNO or to jeopardize her other
interests more than any other no
tion, he asserted.
Outlining the origin and ma
chinery of the present govern
ment. Elmer Sprague posed the
question "What can we expect
from such a government?" The
answer includes such significant
outcomes as the right and duty to
work, the right to rest and leisure

Return
Herald
Faculty members as well as stu

types of war service, thus mark
ing the return of the campus to
prewar normalcy.

war, 150 staff members were on
