Thanks, Lew
Thanks to A. J. Lewandowski,. The Daily Nebraskan is
now in a position to eive the
the lottery which determined
the stadium for season activitiy tickets.
As ticket orders were taken at the tables in the coliseum
the order was placed in a brown envelope. At the end of
the sales, all the envelopes were put in a large box irregard
less of the time the order was placed or the number of seats
ordered. Two impartial students in the presence of three
witnesses drew the envelopes from the box at random.
The first envelope drawn was numbered "1" and filed.
When all envelopes had been picked, they were in numerical
order. Seating arrangements were made by taking the
number "1" envelope and giving the person or group whose
order was in that envelope seats in Section G, Row 15. The
first 15 rows are by tradition reserved for Tassels, Corn
Cobs, Mortar Boards and Innocents. Whether the envelope
contained one order or a group order the seats were as
signed to fill up Section G, then Sections H and F and so
on until all orders had been filled.
Because the veterans had ordered their tickets in a
block of 1,35(3 and their envelope was one of the first drawn,
they occupy a large block in the center of the stadium. Since
the veterans were lucky in the drawing, the student body
has no doubt that they will co-operate in the cheering and
card section exhibitions during the half-time, because those
things are integral part of Nebraska football games.
Mr. Lewandowski assured The Nebraskan that every
part of the lottery was entirely fair and conducted on an
absolutely impartial basis. .He stated that next year when
sale of activity season tickets begins, each student or repre
sentative of a group will draw his own seat assignment when
he buys the ticket. Lewandowski also added that next year
any extremely large group wishing a block of seats would be
broken up into groups proportionate to other organizations.
This statement should serve as an object lesson to those
who indulge in hard feelings and mud-slinging without first
waiting for the true facts to be known.

To The Editor:
The fate of the world has been
said to be in the hands of today's
youth. This is undeniably true,
for we have been born in an
atomic era which necessitates a
revolutionary change in the ways
and thinking of every inhabitant
of the world. As a result of the
devolpment of both the modern
airplane and the atomic bomb, the
world is in need of a system by
which all nations and peoples can
work together for not only their
common safety, for the situation
is past that stage, but for their
common survival.
There are many pertinent ques
tions that face the youth of to
day. The United States is facing
a tremendous array of complex
international and domestic issues.
One of the most important issues
of our time is that of the world
federation. Machinery has already
been set up to attempt to meet the
needs of the rapidly shrinking
globe, in the form of the United
Nations, which binds all nations
together into a confederation. The
need for such an organization is
generally accepted. Some far
sighted people are aware of the
necessity of having an even
stronger organization than the one
now in existece, for Article 109
of the Uited Nations Charter pro
vides for the creation of a federal
world government by -calling a
convention or by other interna
tional action. This is one of the
most important issues of our time;
it is worthy of the attention of
the youth of the world.
There is in existence a youth
organization that is conscious of
.this major issue and is putting
noble thoughts into action by sup
porting the movement to establish
an international organization that
has at its disposal the power to
enforce democratic decisions and
the power to control such inter
nationally important things as the
atomic bomb. This organization,
which is rapidly growing and
gaining recognition as an influ
ential group, is the Student Fed
eralists. The Student Federalist organ
ization was organized in 1942 by
Harris Wofford, jr., in Scarsdale,
N. Y. Since its early beginnings
the group has spread thruout the
country and into foreign nations.
The four main purposes of the
S.F. group are:
1. ) Stimulate thinking on the
urgent need for federal
world government.
2. ) Educate our generation in
the principles of federal
ism. 3. ) Find, train, and organize
the necessary leaders.
And
4. ) Support all steps which
will lead to federal world
government.
It is said that a group is Known
by its members. According to this
logic, Student Federalists rate very
high, for among the adult mem
bers and supporters there are,
Harold Stassen, Harold Curey, Bill
Mauldin, Mortimer Adler, Thos.
Finletter, Elmo Roper, Clifton
Fadiman, Clarence Streit, Emery
Reves, and Mrs. Raymond Clap
per, to name only a few. These
people represent some of the
greatest figures of our times
and any group that has their com
plete support must be worthy.
The Federalists are a liberal
group of individuals that have one
definite goal in mind that of
world federation. They are not
all of the same opinion as to how
to bring such a noble ideal into
existence, thus discussion is stim
ulated. The group does many use
ful things, including sponsoring
lecture tours, polling public can
didates as to their opinions on
domestic and international ques
tions, and sponsoring radio pro
grams. There is a great deal for
everyone to do in this group, for it
takes a great deal of work to en
lighten the people to all sides of a
question of such scope as fed
eralism. This being a national organiza
tion, it would perhaps be worth
while for all interested students
and faculty members on this cam
pus to organize a chapter to help
carry out the basic ideals of the
national group. The activities need
not be limited to only questions
involving iederalism, but can be

BY JACK HILL
Placing OPA in the same class
with prohibition, Sen. Claude Pep
per, democrat of Florida, an
nounced his belief that the nation
would be better off without price
control, rather than facing a sit
uation similar to that of the roar
ing twenties. Pepper said, "If
price control is getting like pro
hibition in its last day so that the
public is not going to support ef
fective price control and the con
gress is not going to support it,
we might just as well not try to
have it."
This is direct turnabout for one
of OPA's staunchest defendants
and Pepper seems to have voiced
the sentiment of a rising tide of
influential legislators.
The Neurnberg trials continued
to promote argument as the na
tion's editorial writers and political
columnists climbed on the band
wagon. Taft and Dewey, princi
pal characters in the recent
squabble have subsided to siience
but it is predicted that the entire
debate is far from concluded.
Labor difficulties simmered as
the week continued and thousands
of workers are still out in Penn
sylvania and in the maritime
unions. Conciliators are no longer
voicing hopes for an early settle
ment as both management and
strikers refuse to back down on
their previously taken stands.
There is a good chance that if the
merchant seamen unions have not
returned to work by the end of
the week the strike will settle
into a battle of attrition. The
question on everyone's lips is,
who can outlast who?

Then he closed his remarks with

Debates on pertinent questions can
be sponsored, as can speakers and
movies. Contacts with students in
other countries can be made and,
by so doing, a consensus of for
eign opinions can be obtained. It
would certainly be interesting to
know what students in Germany
and Russia think about world fed
eration and about the interna
tional situation in general. A
chapter of Student Federalists has
untold possibilities on the univer
sity, for with the proper cul
tivation it could do the entire
community a service by sponsor
ing informative radio programs
and news releases on current
questions.
There is a move under way at
the present time to establish a
chapter here, but as yet the stu
dent body has not had an oppor
tunity to make its willingness to
co-operate known. It is for this
reason that all those students who
would be interested in joining and
supporting such an enterprise are
requested to make this desire
known by notifying me at 611
No. 24th, either personally or by
mail, at the earliest possible date.
This invitation for support is also
cordially extended to faculty
members.
