Chancellor Gustavson can

was a euest of the Board.
Stating his policy concerning student publications, he
gave the green .light for a free university press. In the past,
he said his association with student publications had always
been a pleasant one. He hoped that the same association
would continue here at Nebraska. Something in the way
of a creditable goal for us to
That university publications are part of a school's dem
ocratic process is common knowledge to everyone. That a
free university press is also considered democratic is more
often the exception than the rule. Chancellor Gustavson
has stated his position in favor of this freedom. In my opin
ion, this is as much as saying that we now have the chance
to make the most of the three

respect.

Well, here it is Sunday again
. . . there's such a feeling of final
ity on Sundays. Maybe it's be
cause there isn't another Sunday
for another week. However, to
get to the point.
The main event Friday night
seemed to be the Scottsbluff-Lin
coin and the Falls City-Northeast
games. Seen at the Scottsbluff
game were Jack Selzer and Jean
Gass among the other countless
Univesity students. Another
couple out to cheer their high
school alma mater were Judd
Ankrem and Barbie Wendle, Falls
City.
The Betas royally celebrated this
week end the visit of their Kansas
State brothers. While Pris Bailey
chalked up another date with
Lloyd Peterson, sister Joel Bailey
joined the ranks and went out
with Johnny Baker Saturday
night. Saturday night found Bill
Beck and Bobbie Busch together
again and Bud Shaumberg and
Patty Hyland enjoying themselves
tremendously.
Running competition with the
football games Friday night was
King's Ballroom. Could it be that
the free passes given out drew
such a large crowd? One particu
larly interesting couple was that
of Dan Hagert and Jean Halligen,
while Jean is heing seen coking
often with Van Duling.
We noticed in the paper that
Ginger Walters and Jim Thomp

Pat Warren seems to have end

One of the best up-and-coming
bands of the year is led by 21
year old Elliot Lawrence. He
started out leading a studio or
chestra on station WCAU. in
Philadelphia. It was there that
he ironed out the wrinkles and
established a name playing coast-
to-coast broadcasts on the CBS
network.
We previously Dredicted that if
and when Lawrence started
traveling, he would instantly be
come a tremendous success. This
has been Droved bv the manv
compliments thrown his way by
magazines such at Metronome,
Downbeat, and Billboard, as well
as by the American Dublic. The
Pennsylvania hotel in New York
neia Lawrence over for several
months, drawing crowds on us
ually quiet nights.
Background Music
The piano Dlavine maMtrn
backs up his short intervals of
piano solos with a background of
oboe, bassoon, and French horn
as well as the customary saxo-
pnones. me brass section has
nice tone oualitv and doesn't hlast
at your ear drums. The rhythm
section has received much com
ment, especially praising Louis
Palumbi, bassman.
Columbia records has climbed
on the Elliot Lawrence band
wagon, and already has released
three platters: 1. Strange Love
from "The Strange Love of (whis

coupled with a new arrangement

I Know, with Who Do You Love
I Hope; and 3. Five O'clock
Shadow and You Broke The Only
Heart That Ever Loved you.
Elliot Lawrence really shines
when playing for a college crowd,
as his arrangements are styled for
dancing. The music is well bal
anced, and his band is capable of
playing both solid jump tunes and
smooth ballads. The Corn Crib
has two of Lawrences releases on
the juke box. Have a listen!

of its first fall issues a map of the

Iowa State's psychology depart

Derek and Dee Wang, Chinese
students at the University of New
Mexico came to college, not only
to get an education, but also to
spend their honeymoon, which
they say is to last for three years.
They sailed from Shainghai right
after their wedding about six
weeks before school began at New
Mexico U. .
According to various articles in
the Nebraskan, men have returned
to the University of Nebraska
campus. It seems that they have
returned also to the Iowa State
campus. One Iowa State woman
went so far as to go on record
as saying that at present there are
too many men on the campus! But
the rest of the women there are
"taking their date dresses out of
mothballs and replacing them
with the blue jeans of the past
years."

a settlement of the problem.
Henry Wallace became involved
in a new controversey as he ac
cused Barnard M. Baruch, of the
atomic power commission, of "at
tempting: to intimidate him." This
was in answer to the verbal storm
brought on by Wallace's claims
that the atomic commission had
failed in every respect of the
atomic control question. Harry S.
Truman, almost on schedule, was f
confused when reporters asked if
Baruch's statement had been
cleared thru his office. The Presi
dent replied it had not, but Charles
Ross, white house press secretary,
later said that the memorandum
had been okayed by the chief ex
ecutive. The original statement, made by
Wallace, which created what may
prove to be another world-shaker,
was based on the following words,
"We cannot hope to achieve suc
cess in our atomic energy negotia-
tions with Russia until a plan is
devised which will assure her, by
deed as well as by word, of our
sincere desire to pay due regard
to Russian as well as American
security needs during the period
of transition."
John R. Steelman, government
reconversion director, stated that
the meat shortage will become
worse this winter. Truman, when
Lasked to comment, agreed with
Steelman and observed that no
specail session of Congress would
be called since the legislation he
would get would be of liftle or no
help. The President remarked that
the government is doing every
thing possible with the, tools it
has at its disposal. All of which,
still leaves most of the country '
without meat.' t

Pennsylvania proved the na
tion's sore spot in labor troubles
on land with thousands of Pitts
burgh workers out after a 12 day
period. Some optimism has been
displayed by management in the
city, based mainly on the fact that
wage increases are as good as
granted. Fears have been ex
pressed that labor in other large
cities will note the victory in
Pittsburgh and take it as a cue
for a general work stoppage.
The American Legion, returning
to its noisy, pre-war style, turned
thumbs down on practically every-
thing at its San Francisco conven
tion. A feud has developed be-
tween National Commander John
Stelle and General Omar Bradley,
Veteran administrator. The con
troversey has been long and loud
about Bradley's administration of
veterans affairs and the conven
tion gave overwhelming support
to a general condemnation of
Bradley's policies. For the record.
the Legion heartily endorsed Sec
retary of State Byrne's foreign
policy and damned the Yugoslavs
and Russians. t
