To The Student Body and Student Council:
International Students' Day is being celebrated in prac
tically all the nations of the world today. On November 15th,
1939, a large demonstration took place in one of the great
SQuares of Prague against the Nazis who had just occupied
the city. The first person to fall from the bullets of the
German police was Jana Opletala, a student of Charles Uni
versity. Two days later, on November 17th, the students of
the university held a great funeral procession for their hero.
That night the Nazis acted: student hostels were raided, 157
students were executed, and many were deported to concen
tration camps and forced labor. The Czech universities were
closed for the next six years.
Two years later on November 17th, 1941, in London, stu
dent representatives of fourteen fighting nations proclaimed
this day as International Students' Day. The stand of the
Czechoslovakian students had become the symbol of student
resistance against Fascism and students' desire the world
over to live freely and democratically.
Out of this outrage has emerged a common bond from
which has grown a basis for an international students or
ganization. In August of 1946, the World Student Confer
ence was held at Prague to bring together representatives
of 2,500,000 students from thirty-six nations for the crea
tion of the International Union of Students. Nine national
student organizations cooperated on an American Prepara
tory Committee to select the twenty-five American dele
gates who came from the student organizations and ten
strategically located universities in the United States.
The purpose of the International Union of Students . . .
shall be to defend the rights and interests of students, to
promote improvement in their welfare and standard of edu
cation, and to prepare them for their tasks as democratic
citizens.
The I.U.S. has the following, among other, aims:
'To secure for all young people the right and
possibility of primary, secondary, and higher edu
cation; to secure for students an extensive system
of state scholarships and family allowances wher
ever necessary and all other means of assuring
their material independence;
... to ensure to all students the best possible
living conditions and facilities for the maintenance
of health;
... to promote friendship between the students
of all the world;
... to assist the students of colonial, semi
colonial and dependent countries to attain their full
social, economic, and educational development; . . ."
A conference of American students will hear a report
on the newly formed International Union of Students and
consider the formation of a national organization of stu
dents in the United States from December 27th to 29th on
the campus of the University of Chicago. Delegates elected
by the student bodies of several hundred universities and
colleges are expected to attend.
Both the Student Federalists and the Student Council
have received invitations to attend this conference. The
University of Nebraska is entitled to send 3 delegates. The
btudent Federalists are prepared to send representative def
egates from the organization and are prepared to cooperate
w.th the Student Council in giving this conference the sup
port of the University of Nebraska.
Being an international students organization ourselves
we believe that "In American colleges and universities today
there are issues which concern students directly and are of
great national lmnortance. A natinnaiiv
j . . . - VUitDVULdllVC bill
dent organization can provide both a medium for the widest
interchange of ideas among students and a basis for unified
it lZun 1SSUG W?er5 !eneraI cement found to exist
Jt could represent students on all bodies concerned with
student affairs. It would provide a splendid means for
American students to become better acquainted with f oreSi
student travel. Lastly, it would achieve a" more effective
KiPrtl0ni ft mCrn Students in the ities of the
International Union of Students."

Cornhuskers March
With the last game of the 1946 football season to be
played at UCLA November 30, a movement is in the wind
to send the Cornhusker Varsity Band to represent the UN
student body.
Such a plan entails a great deal of expense, but there
seems to be no doubt that the trip would be well worth the
time and money. The band made a fine record for itself
when Nebraska was invited to the Rose Bowl, and Cafilornia
is still talking about the Cornhusker visit in 1941. The rep
utation established by the team and band then still prevails
today, and the opportunity has come again to let others
share the glory of seeing the Cornhuskers and the band in
action.
Student opinion is unanimously in favor of giving the
band a big send-off for UCLA, and with concentrated effort
to back our verbal agreement, it shouldn't be too difficult
to persuade the university that the band is deserving of the
trip. Surely they would contribute a ereat deal to UN's
already prominent status on the west coast.
The Daily Nebraskan, in cooperation with the Tassels.
Corn Cobs and the entire student body, is now beginning a
campaign to send the band to UCLA to represent loyal
Cornhuskers and to maintain the outstanding reputation
that has been established-through the years.
Ag Instructor! iBiinflfleSnim
Conducts H02
Experiments
Prof. W. J. Loeffel, chairman of
the animal husbandry department
at the college of agriculture, is
conducting experiments on a new
breed of swine, the Hamprace
hog. These experiments will de
termine whether or not better
grad of animal can be produced.
In 1936. the deDartment nf auri.
culture started a search for black
Hampshire hogs that met require
ments set up by the department.
Two boars and three gilts were
chosen out of three litters raised
here in Nebraska. These hogs
were sent to Mills City, Montana
to be crossed with the Land race
breed. The progenies from this
cross were known as Hamprace
hogs.
This line breeding has been in
process for nine years. Recently,
the swine were shipped from
Montana to the ag campus where
Prof. Loefftl will determine their
carcass qualities.
Upon arrival, the hogs are
weighed and graded alive . and
then slaughtered to determine the
dressing yield. The carcass is
chilled, graded to standards set up
by the government and then sliced
into wholesale cuts.
Some of these cuts will appear
on the tables of school employees,
the football team, the uriion, the
ag cafeteria, and some of the or
ganized houses on the campus.
