FORTT-FIFTH tEAfl
1 in far th coMeae year.
Mondays and Saturday,, vacations, and ex-minat .on P'ods. by the "tudent.
of the University of Nebraska under trie supery15,0n . . r- -"j",:
Entered as Second Clas Matter at the Post Off tee Uncon, Ntbr, under
Act of Congress, March 3. 1879, and at special tate of postage prov.ded

Outcome Unknown
We are waiting! The Big Six governing board is sched
this? weekend. Student bodies on four uni
sity campuses wait the outcome of this confab. What the
group will do when they meet is hard to tell. Whether it
will be a "glad to see you Joe, haven't seen you since last
meeting" type of gathering or one that will deal with a very
pertinent question is unpredictable.
It is unfortunate, since this is a trial of student weight
exerted toward the solution of a current problem, that this
meeting takes place the same day that marks the semesters
last issue of the Daily Nebraskan. Little more can be said
employing this publication as a voice, on this question.
There are two sides to every question and to be fair,
both should be aired prior to this meeting.
Through the medium of mass meetings, student coun
cil demands and student petitions, four Big Six schools have
asked for the abolishment of the so-called "gentlemen's
agreement" barring Negroes from conference athletics.
Whether this student opinion is considered strong enough
to warrant consideration of the issue remains to be seen.
Follow Up Needed.
Our own Council will be partially to blame if this ques
tion is considered lacking in strength. Long past was the
day, if it ever existed, when a mere statement produced the
desired results. A strong follow up to their first action
should have been taken in order to add weight of relevant
outside sources to the issue. Being undergraduates of life's
great school we should realize that often superiority in num
bers is not sufficient to success. It is too late for a post
mortem concerning what should have been done, however,
We can only hope that on this issue we will be recognized as
possessing some intellect ana not oe tola we nave to attain
the "sliver hairs among the gold" stage before our opinion
will be honored as such.
The university's representative on the conference board
does not represent the students alone but several other
groups as well. His decisions on any issue are judged to be
the overall voice of these groups, not just one. lhis ol
course is the honored type of representative government
Consequently no definite statement has come from the Ne
braska conference member because the other groups he re
presents have made no indication as to their stand on the
issue.
A Definite Must.
Too often these statements have come after a settle
ment has been made but in this case that is hardly deemed
satisfactory. The students have publicly voiced their
wishes, why haven't the others? An answer must be made
BEFORE the group meets, but precedence' tells a different
story. In all fairness it has to be made.
Due to the current shortage of crystal balls the final
decision still remains unpredictable and even may be in that
same category after the gentlemen meet. Only time will
tell. Representative type of government is a fine thing but
of little practical value if a representative is uninformed re
garding those he represents. D. N.

and 7 a. m. Wednesday, left with
$170 in cash and a few pieces of
jewelry, stolen from a half dozen
members of the fraternity.
Victims were Darwood Long

Johns, both $20; Bob Loisel, $17
Leonard Gremer, $9 and Jack
Philpot, $11.
A check was underway at the
fraternity to determine whether
Philpot lost the $11 reported, or
whether his loss actually totaled
$18.

Dead Week Again
(Editor's note: All semester we have watched our good friend
the former editor of the Nebraskan wander around in the afternoons
as she made use of her free time to inhabit the Crib and study oc
casionally while we sat in our den in the Union basement and slaved.
We have watched her with a tinge of envy as she went on picnics
while we wore our fingers down to bloody stumps on our typewriter.
Today she made the mistake of getting too close to a typewriter
and just had to prove to herself that she hadn't lost the old touch
Yep, she can still write an editorial. Bye, we're going on a picnic!)
The editor of the Daily Nebraskan said to write an editorial. An
editorial is words with a message, printed in newspapers. The Daily
Nebraskan is a newspaper. These are wordse. Maybe they will be
printed. The message is undetermined as yet, but it is possible that-
one will develop as this thing goes on.
It seems that this editorial should have something to do with
finals, or more appropriately with Dead Week, which is about to
.clercend like the proverbial seven-year locusts. Dead week, this
yrar, will be celebrated between Monday, May 20 and Saturday,
May 25. It is a time of year when gay throngs of college students
may been seen wending their way to movies and other places of en
tertainment, or, more occasionally, may be seen crawling back from
Sosh or Andrews casting small tufts of their hair about the grassy
slopes of Teachers College as they go.
Dead Week is that time of the semester when, theoretically,
everything in theway of activity ceases except studying; when the
5 a. m. oil burns brightly and typewriters pound out term papers and
reading reports due two months earlier; when every body gripes and
worries and sleeps in the mornings, sits in the Crib in the afternoons
and goes to shows in the evenings on the theory that a relaxed mind
and body makes for a better exam.
Yea, this is Dead Week long may it reign! Let the professors
be benevolent, students studious and movie schedules changed frequently!

Phyllis Warren, noting that th
rights of the minorities were
recognized only with the down
fall of the tsaiist regime, traced
tne pnenomeiu development in
Russia's educational system since
1917 and the gradual suppression
of religion climaxing in 1929 when
all social activity of churches was
outlawed. However, she declared
"Atheism was a failure in Rus
sia: ur. Maxim lMias, resource
person for the forum, added "Re
ligion was never dead in Russia
It has been purified and strength
ened thru the trying times since
the revolution. In the long run
the. persecution of the church has
been beneficial for its survival
Gladys Jackson, speaking of the
nation's economics, declared that
Altho the farmer is bound to
the land and the worker to the
factory, the Russian people feel
secure." Since the interests of
state and industry are identical,
from a soviet viewpoint, trade
unions are national agencies
whose purpose is to increase the
skill and promote the all-around
welfare of the worker. "A party
worker cannot quit and there is
pay for work only," she con
tinued. "There is no seniority, no
unemployment insurance. In Rus
sia, he who does not work, does
not eat: '

The Ash Can
by
Marthella Holcomb

Someone said it was the new Montgomery Ward catalogue, but
we've had contact with that before. Besides, the red letters on the
white leather spelled out 1946 CORNHUSKER. Gather around chil
dren, and Mother Molly will tell all about the masterpiece you'll
view this afternoon as you pick up your annual in the ballroom.
Surveying the book as a whole, we might mention that Priscilla
Flagg's name is the last on the 432 pages, all the paper isn't shiny
(war, you know) and most people in most formal pictures look
slightly sick. Especially all the M. Holcombs.
Very first picture in the book is worth price of the whole show
. . . the Chancellor himself. Looks every bit as nice as he did the
one other time we saw him. There's a complete history of the uni
versity, including all important data from the first signing of the
charter till the fatal day they slipped and allowed us to register.
Book One Transition. Begins with a terrific map of the cam
pus, showing today's buildings, and all projected building plans.
Did we mention the theme is "World of Tomorrow with Blueprints
of Today?" Each college is shown with its buildings and personnel,
including proposed construction. University hall with cannas in
bloom, Navy hall with the blooming navy. Gray's droppy socks are
in evidence in a shot of his typical professional stance. Had an
uncle once who could balance his chair on one leg. . .
Book Two, as might be expected, comes next. Says Learning
on the cover, and sure enough, there's a display of the big wheels.
Wouldn't mind learning how Hecox got three presidencies without
the faction working on it. Grateful notation can be added, as here
appear the first page numbers. And there's Myrt without a cast on
her knee. You can see the knee, too, all of it. Consult page 97.
Book Three's Flashes include some pretty terrific comments and
sketches by Coleen Kahoa and Hedy Schulz, as well as pictures of
the freshmen reception, minus the Chancellor. Glamour shots of the
Beauty Queens and attendants chosen by Harry Conover suggest
thnt more combs, fewer sweaters and more sleeD can make a bie im
provement in the total product. As witness these twelve shining
examples.
Well, whaddaya know . . . there's the Coed Follies, complete
with Egyptian Ella Duckworth . . . now Buffington won't be the only
man to have seen her.
Quick, look at page 162: Caveman Rutherford with Lee Mc-
Clure swung over his shoulder. But a fireman has a ladder!
Services are included in Book Four, and glaring from a full-
page shot are meanies Pumphrey and Holtzscherer. No wonder coeds
quiver at the thought of AWS court, and students grit their teeth
over the Council. More charming are Tassel prexie McKinsey and
PRESIDENT OF THE N CLUB Kathol in their shot.
Kline and Cosier are hung up again . . . this time from the Tem
ple light bridge as part of the super-fine theater layout.
Page 239 brings us to the criminals, and they don't look a bit
sorry about the whole thing.
Book Five shows Doing, and speaking of what's doing, there's
Captain Matthews again, the boy who handed down that bright de
cision for NROs to salute the Chancellor. Course none of them have
ever seen the man, so it doesn't make too much difference. Ensign
Sloan's picture is there, too. She's the favorite pin-up girl in Navy
Hall, since she worked overtime so that the unit got Jockey suits
issued before their first leave.
Don't miss bee'dy-por time on page 268. Heaven help us, such
inviting smiles. . .
