rr,. ; ;.i-a murontlv featured in the Daily
Kebraskan on the Chicago Student Conferwcjis the resu t
of the feeUng of some students of this and 296 other col
leges that a national organization of students will help re
lations between colleges and nations. ,,,..
When plans have been completed, the National Student
Organization, will be an American branch of the Interna
tional Union of Students and will foster exchange of stu
dents Aside from this aim of the NSO, the broad purpose
of the group in the United States is to promote student
friendship and cultural activities. There are also in the
prospective aims and activities of the NSO, some specific
proposals which may give the students of Nebraska some
thing to work on.
One of these is to assure that all activity funds are con
trolled by the students themselves. Taken literally, this
means that all organizations will collect and disburse their
own funds with no control exercised by the administration.
At Nebraska, all organizations designated by the Chancellor,
Dean of Student Affairs or Board of Regents, turn their
mrmov in t n th Student Activities Office and can withdraw
it only upon presentation of authorized vouchers. WhetheH
or not this aim of the JNSU couia ever De reauzea on uus
campus may depend on how much faith the administration
has in the honesty of the students. The lack of faith indi
cated by the present system has unfortunately been justi
fied in the past.
Another controversial aim of the NSO is its desire to
establish measures to eliminate commercialization of inter
collegiate sports, and to sponsor interracial and interfaith
sports on a strictly amateur basis. Under the present sys
tem of subsidization and segregation existing in many of
the schools of America, students will have to reverse their
trends if this aim is adopted. As emphasized by Chancellor
Gustavson in his convocation speech, they will have to de
cide whether it is more important to win or to participate
in sports for the fun o fit Again great faith in the inherent
fairness and goodness of human nature is necessary to
make this aim the reality it should be.
The NSO has a good cause, just as the UNO has a good
cause, and both, if they can ever be worked out cooper
atively, will serve to promote international understanding.
Eventually perhaps, the leaders of the student organization
may become the leaders of the United Nations.
Representatives Plan Special
European Youth Hostel Trips
Special European Youth Hostel
trips have been planned only after
careful study and discussion by
American Youth Hostel repre
sentatives with the hostel asso
ciations of the countries to be
visited and their State Department
representatives. It was generally
agreed that the summer of 1947
would not be too soon to resume
regular hosteling trips.
Special arrangements are being
made to provide inexpensive
transportation for those who take
the trips to Europe, for it is the
dream of the AYH to have a float
ing Youth Hostel which will carry
thousands of hostelers from this
continent to Europe, returning to
these shores with an equal num
ber of Europeans eager for the
wonders of the "New World.
This travel should reduce the ,
round trip ocean fare to about
$100. Sailings will be scheduled
around the end of June and will I
return about the first of Sep- '
tember. .
Central Europe.
Hostelers, docking at Le Havre, j
will go to Paris and from there i
continue southward to the Ri-
viera. Afler tanning in the warm- j
ing Mediterranean sunshine, they i
will bike northward to Switzer- I
land and climb with rugged Swiss i
movlaineers in the land cf the j

bourg is the next stepping stone

E. and Orinda M.' Johnson faculty
and graduate fellowships, and the
Donald Walters Miller graduate
fellowships, and undergraduate
scholarships has been made. The
rules of eligibility, duration and
amount, and procedure for appli
cation have been received from
the graduate office.
Frank E. and Orinda M. Johnson
Graduate Fellowships
This fellowship has been pro
vided for by a 350,000 dollar es
tate left to the University of Ne
braska. Graduates of the Univer
sity of Nebraska or other univer
sities and colleges of recognized
standing are eligible. An appli
cant need not be in residence.

ture promise based on demon
strated ability, and financial need
will be considered by the univer
sity research council in determin
ing awards.
Frank E. and Orinda M. Johnson
Faculty Scholarships
The purpose of these fellow
ships is to provide faculty mem
bers with an opportunity for full
time scholarly and research pur
suits. Anv member of the faculty
who holds the rank of instructor
or above is eligible, however, this
scholarship is not granted for the
purpose of pursuing work for ad

ending their summer of cycling
with a trip through the Dutch
Lowlands to Amsterdam.
On this trip, hostelers will find
opportunities to speak French,
German, Italian, Flemish, Dutch,
and even the native tongue of
little Luxembourg. There are so
many historical and cultural
points of interest in Central
Europe with such divergent itin
erary possibilities that general
route schedules are planned only
after studying the particular in
terests of the group. The cost is
$200 plus transportation from New
York.
Scandinavia.
in the Scandinavian countries
there are a friendly people anxious
to reopen their trails to Amer
ican -hostelers. After cycling
through Denmark the group will
leave from Copenhagen on a boat
which will take them through the
fjords of Norway penetrating the
silence of the Arctic Circle. Swe- .
den and perhaps Finland will fol
low on the itinerary.
The group will travel for 400
miles along the great Arctic high- !
way. the only motor road in the 1
world that runs to the Arctic !
Ocean, bike across great tundra '
wastes, and climb on one of
Europe's largest glaciers. Tjie cost
is $200 plus tra r ."-porta Ci from
New York.
British Me. I
Over 10,000 Youth Hoi-.. J guct I
passes were given Americans on
furlough in England during the
war. Returning home they said,
"the only way to see and know
England is to pedal the country
side on a bicycle." The British
Isles are not only rich in cottages,
gardens, and historic buildings,
but is the birthplace of Shakes
peare and other immortal people.
The boat will dock at South
ampton, sending its hostelers
across the British countryside to
the shores of Loch Lomond, Scot
land, where in 1946, 2,000 hostel
ers met at the International Youth
Hostel Conference; they then re
turn to the boat through the bleak
hills of Ireland.
Hosteling is a favorite educa
tional diversion for the cyclists in
England, where there are 100,000
hostelers. Cost: $200 plus trans
portation from New York.
Explain Details of NSO
Committee Organization
The following is a report of
Panel II, which was concerned
with the organization of the pros
pective National Student's Organ
ization, at the Chicago Student
Conference.
This report is being made under
the sponsorship of the Student
Council for the purpose of ac
quainting all students with the
National Student Organization
now in the process of formation.
It was resolved that a national
student organization be formed
and shall include representatives
of each college and university stu
dent body in the United States,
and representation of national stu
dent organizations on the follow
ing basis: That 10 percent of the
executive committee of the NSO
shall be composed of voting repre
sentatives of the national student
organizations, elected by these or
ganizations; that no ' representa
tives of organizations be seated
on any other level of the iSO
than the Executive Committee and
the General Assembly; that the
Presby Students

Election of officers for the com
ing year will be held at the Pres
byterian student house meeting
next Sunday. Bill Miller will

Christian in World Affiars."
All donations for the box to be

search council. Closing date for
applications is March 1.
Donald Walters Miller Under
graduate Scholarships and
Graduate Fellowships
Eligibility extends to all stu
dents above the freshman year in
any of the schools or colleges of
the university, including both un
dergraduates and graduates. Re
cipients of the scholarships shall
be selected upon basis of scholas
tic ability, aims, character, tem
perament, and financial need.
Candidates must have been regis
tered in the university during the
present semester.
Three or more fellowships and
scholarships of 750 dollars each
are available for the next aca
demic year. These scholarships do
not carry remission of tuition.
Students should fill out applica
tion forms available at their
dean's office and should file them
with the dean of the college in
which the student is registered.
Applications for graduate students
should be filed in the graduate
office. Applications should be ac
companied by a letter from the
student which should include a
detailed statement concerning ed
ucational and professional objec
tions. The committee requests
letters from one or two staff
members in support of the appli
cation. Closing date for applica
tions is March 1.
participating national organiza
tions form a Council, which will
be responsible for the selection of
the organizational representatives
to the executive committee, and
shall report to the General As
sembly of the NSO shall have rep
resentation based on approximate
ly the same apportionment be
tween college student bodies and
existing national student organiza
tions as exists at the Chicago Stu
dent Conference; and that the
Credentials Committee of the NCC
shall re-evaluate the existing ap
portionment so as to insure demo
cratic representation.
Organisation Structure
In discussing the structure of
the proposed organization, the
panel decided that included in the
structural make-up there should
be: Regional Committees, elected
representatives from the schools
in- the region; a National As
sembly, composed of representa
tives from colleges and national
student o rganizations and an
Executive Committee, made up of
four executive officers and any
other representatives that the NCC
wishes to propose in the constitu
tion. A split came at Chicago over
plans for a Judicial Council or
Advisory Council. Those who fa
vored the former proposed a group
composed of an equal number of
students and educators, with a
student chairman, voting in case
of a tie, that would have the
power to review any legislation
of the General Assembly on the
basis that it does not conform
with its constitution. Such a re
view, if passed unfavorably,
would require a 23 majority of
the assembly to overrule it.
Council Suggestions
The proponents of an Adviscry
Council suggested that a group of
21 prominent American educators
be set up in the capacity f an
advisory group that could do no
more than make recommendations
to the Assembly. This alternative
was finally substituted for the
first motion, but by the majority
of only three votes, which means
that this will be a controversial
issue at the Constitution Conven
tion. Membership requirements for
the NSO were established aloig
democratic lines, with, no in
dividual being denied member
ship for reasons of race, color, or
sex. Ail delegates to any NSO
meetings must be democratically
elected by the student bodies of
the colleges.
No constituent member (co!!:ge
student body or national stuf'?nt
organization) will be obligated to
follow the policies of the NSO.
but that any cors'iluent body
following policies directly opposed
to the NSO would be subject to
expulsion upon a vote of 23 of
the General Assembly. Any of
the constituent groups will b: f,-ee
to disaffiliate with tKe orr"
Un if they Izzl tLr.t iU'Ji action
is warranted.
