It's high time the ag students let the rest of us in on the
latest scoops from yonder half of the university campus.
And a fine opportunity presents itself with the formation
of a journalism class at ag this year, under the instruction
of Prof. Clifford Duncan.
The class itself may form the nucleus for publicity, as
signing departments and clubs for regular coverage, but any
and all interested students are welcome to display their
talents and ideas with the hope that material for publication
comes rolling in by the carload.
There are several possibilities whereby students may
work on their own, or through a central office on the ag
campus. As plans are now moving forward, two or three
students will have charge of editing final copy which goes
to the Nebraskan office for publication. This means that by
next semester it should be possible to have an ag editor as
a paid staff member. This ag editor would have complete
charge of his news and probably maintain a staff of re
porters working on ag campus.
It's a fine idea, and one that can be worked, with the
result that ag cmpus students my get their fifty cents worth
after all. All we need is about fifty reporters who are will
ing and able to cover the entire campus. You write it and
we'll print it.

searing statement issued by the
thief New Zealand delegate, Sir
Carl Barandsen said, "the great
powers are attempting to have
their cake and eat is too."
Furthermore, the work of the
security council to date "offered
a humiliating spectacle" because
the council had completely failed
to agree on any major issues and
because of "the prolonged
wrangles over procedures."

In Rambling Homecoming Tale

Spurred by Soviet Minister
V. M. Molotov's fiery speech on
the floor of the United Nations
General assembly, American
Chief Delegate Warren Austin was
said to be preparing an address
to the General Assembly iate yes
terday. The Austin declaration was re
ported to have been worked out
overnight and okayed by Jimmy
Byrnes and President Truman.
Late reports had not yet revealed
the contents of Austin's statement
but informed quarters believe that
it will be in answer to Molotov's
demand for immediate action by
the Bit Four on the arms con
trol proposal.
Molotov's talk in the early part
of this week blasted Winston
Churchill, Bernard Baruch and
the general attitude of the United
Stales concerning the atomic
bomb. Apparently in an unhappy
mood, probably because of a
change in signals from Stalin and
the Politburo, V. M. called
Churchill a "prophet of aggres
sive, imperialist circles," and ac
cused Baruch as the leader of a
'militant philosophy leading to
ward new aggressions." '
The cream in the coffee, how
ever, was his statement that the
United States was attempting an
atomic monopoly and that troops
in occupied countries represent a
threat to the IN. All that, of
course, after the world had ac

I was hunting about the Student
Union grounds the other night
for a good place to hide a couple
of empty, five-gallon, jfasoline

weeping piteously.

I said like a Dutch uncle, sitting

off my wooden shoes.

Remembering that I was an
Eagle Scout, I explained to her
the hidden and esoteric meaning
of Homecoming.
Many Years At:
Homecoming tradition really
dates back to the early years of
the history of this state. About
1865, the city fathers of Lincoln,
in an attempt to stop immigration
to West Lincoln and curb juvenile
delinquency, decided to start a
university.
The scholar they picked to be
chancellor was Shelton Hodge

face, the youth of the community
refused to be interested in Virgil,
Simon, Sheets, Kelly, or any other
literary figures.
When things looked the black
est, Shelton hit upon an idea.
Sports, that was the thing; rugby,
soccer, middling, chess, etc. Who
could tell, with this program he
might be able to get as many as
nineteen or twenty students.
Although the first announce
ment of the new program raised
'a storm of protest the governor
called It dangerous, the dean of
men called it seditious. William
Jennings Bryan, a mot or man for
the Lincoln City Traction Co. said,
"Thou shall not crucify mankind
on a cross of gold," plans were
carried through.
