500 Married Students
Lack Living Quarters
Over 500 married veterans
registering in the university this
fall are still looking for hous
ing, according to E. B. Brown, di
rector of the university student
housing bureau.
While the bureau has placed all
single male students applying for
rooms, housing for married vets
is still critical. Brown said. "The
University has converted every
thing possible into rooms and
apartments in an attempt to place
the large group of married vets.
No more reconversion is possible"
the housing director explained.
Dorms Near Completion.
Single men are in a better posi
tion to obtain rooms with the new
dormitories on 15th and U streets
nearing completion. Building B
will be the first of the three-story
buildings to be finished. Sixty
eight men will move into it some
time next week. Building C, with
a capacity of 68, will be ready for
occupancy about Oct. 15. Largest
of the three building A, will be
finished in December and will
house 136 students.
Buildings B and C are filled,
but there are still quite a few
openings in building A. Applica
tions will be taken for rooms in
this dorm around the last of No
vember, Brown said. Men who al
ready have been promised rooms
in these dorms are now being
housed at the air base, the field
house and in private homes.
Expansion Planned.
"Eventually," Brown stated, "the
university hopes to expand the
men's dormitory project to in
clude six small buildings, one

University of Nebraska:
A hearty welcome to
you from the entire staff
of the University. You are
particularly fortunate to
be living in a country that
has escaped the ravages
of war to a very large ex
tent and has the resources
to make education, with
all that that word implies,
available to so many. You
can justify the investment
of society in you by pre
paring yourselves to help
build a world where the
opportunity to learn will
be available to an ever in
creasing number of peo
ple. Your principal task
here is not to accumulate
facts, but to learn to be a
critical thinker. Critical
thinking frequently leads
to convictions, which lead
in turn to demands for
great courage. Be not
afraid. Great causes de
mand great loyalties. Pre
pare yourselves to give the
world your best. May the
coming school year be one
of great significance to
you.
R. G. Gustavson
Chancellor
Delegated
To UNESCO
Chancellor R. G. Gustavson has
been chosen as one of the ten
United States delegates appointed
by President Truman to attend
the second international congress
of the UNESCO, scheduled in
Mexico City Nov. 6.
"UNESCO is intended to let the
people of one nation speak to
those of another," Chancellor
Gustavson told The Daily Ne
braskan, Wednesday. "It attempts
to concentrate the minds of men
on peace instead of on war. It
works through education, from
the basic teaching of reading and
writing to the seeking for a free
flow of information in the fields
of art, government, social science
and the sciences."
Information Exchange.
Gustavson said that the inter
national exchange of information,
apparatus and ideas includes
shuttling of students, professors,
experts and workers as well as
scientific writings, works of art
and current educational studies
a kind of international barter.
At the Mexico City conference
the delegates will wrestle with
problems regarding establishment
of an international radio and
television service, so that the
world's people will be able to
see and hear each other as well
as read each other's publishings.
Russia's refusal to join UNESCO
(whose membership is open to
any United Nations member by
virtue of its own choice) is a
bitter disappointment ,the chan
cellor said. Definite attempts to
encourage Russian membership
in UNESCO will be made, since
mutual misunderstanding and
suspicion have characterized Russian-UN
relations. A really free
flow of ideas into and out of
Russia is an immediate and im
perative goal of UNESCO, the
chancellor believes.
In Dr. Gustavson's opinion
there is more and more student
interest in the workings of the
United Nations and its arm,
UNESCO.
Asked what the UNESCO con
ference hope to accomplish.
Chancellor Gustavson replied, "If
we could do something to stave
off World War III, we'd be doing
something." .
