R. G. Gustavson Gives Convo
Report on UNESCO Conference
Chancellor Calls for Greater Understanding
Between Nation: Capacity Crowd at Coliseum
"UNESCO will never be com
plete as long as Russia remains
on the outside," stated Chancellor
R. G. Gustavson in a convocation
speech before an overflow crowd
in the coliseum Wednesday after
noon. If we are to live in peace, the
nations of the world must use the
next five to 25 years to cement
understanding between the "Rus
sian" and "western" ideologies, ac
cording to the speaker. The em
phasis is on military power by
many nations is an evidence of
an unsure world, he continued.
Military power, said Gustavson,
is a force in an insecure world,
UNESCO is a force" in a secure
one.
Main Objective.
"How we con organize educa
tion, science and culture so that
we can have a peaceful world," is
the main object of UNESCO, ac
cording to the chancellor who has
lately returned from its meeting
in Mexico City in November. .
In the course of the conference,
three new members, Austria,
Hungary and Italy, were accepted
into the organization. The only
dissenting vote was on Hungary,
when the 'US delegation voted
against its petition on orders from
the American state department.
Gustavson had only contempt
for the Washington order. Accord
ing .to the speaker, the reason for
this refusal to accept Hungary
was the election irregularities in
that country. The chancellor raised
a good point in opposition when
he said he did not especially ap
prove of the election procedures
in our southern states. If our own
country is guilty of these faults in
voting procedures, why should we
not grant membership to a coun
try for the same reason.
Six Points.
Gustavson, who acted as chair
man of the committee on program
and banquet at the conference,
listed six major facts on UNESCO
work:

Three Council
Positions Filled
Ruth Spurgeon, graduate stu
dent in the Arts and Sciences,
Dace Boyland, junior woman in
Arts and Sciences college, and
Gerald Gardner, junior in the
College of Dentistry, were elected
to the Student Council at the
regular Wednesday council meet
ing. The three appointments fill
council seats which were vacated
since the last election.
Seven women made applica
tion for the junior Arts and Sci
ence post. Only three were pres
ent to be interviewed.
Several council members ques
tioned the idea of voting without
hearing all applicants. The vote
was taken after previous experi
ences of waiting for applicants to
appear were brought out as un
satisfactory. Two of the three candidates for
the woman's graduate seat were
present for interviews.
Gardner was the only candidate
from the college of dentistry.
Constitutions committee chair
man Bob Wenke reported that
processing the 145 constitutions of
existing organizations would take
considerable more time. He said
that group revisions will be
recommended to the council
when the study by his committee
is complete.
New organizations receive in
dividual study to speed council
approval he said.

Ball Asks
Foil Return
Students who were unable to at
tend Wednesday's convocation are
asked to answer the Student Coun
cil poll which is printed in to
day's Daily Nebraskan, Dale Ball,
chairman of the Council's campus
improvement committee, as;ked.
Students who answered the poll
at the convocation should not
answer this newspaper poll, Ball
continued.
Ball said that the Council would
act on the four propsals in ac
cordance with the expressed opin
ions of the students. Several thou
sand poll ballots were collected at
the Gustavson convocation yester
day, he added.
Suggested improvements include
building an all-university chapel
for worship of all faiths, setting
up a priority system for campus
parking, inaugurating a senior
week of activities and social events
to replace a final week of exam
inations, and sending a student
representative to meetings of the
University Senate, the faculty gov
erning body.
A random tabulation made
Wednesday afternoon on several
dozen of the polls collected at the
Coliseum showed unanimous en
dorsement of the proposal for
senior week.
The poll box is located in the
Daily Nebraskan office, in the
Union basement.

Speaks on Tostwar Trade.
Taft, who served as director of
the office of wartime economic
affairs and of the office of trans
portation and communicati o n s,
both connected with the state de
partment, will speak on "Interna
tional Trade in The Postwar
World."
As Will Clayton's special assist
ant, Taft had charge of the pre
sentation to Congress of the Trade
Agreement Act. It was his office
that announced the agreement
with the United Kingdom, France,
Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway
and Luxenbourg for the rehabili
tation and operation of western
Europe's railways, highways, and
canals.
Son of President Taft
Taft is the son of the 27th presi
dent of the United States. After
propping at the Taft school, he
received his BA degree in ab
stentia in 1918 from Yale univer
sity while he was in the armed
forces. On his return to civilian
life he re-entered Yale and re
ceived his LLB in 1921 and was
admitted to the Ohio Bar the fol
lowing year. He entered law prac
tice with his brother Robert in
Cincinnati.
He is the author of "City Man
agement," "The Cincinnati Ex
periment," "You and I and
Roosevelt," and "Why I Am For
the Church."
Army Supply.
. Perhaps no one in Washington
was in a better position during
the war years to know what was
really happening behind the
scenes than Taft, especially in re
gard to supplying the armies. It
was during this period that he
became closely connected with the
field of international trade and
relations, which has caused him
to say repeatedly, "In this new
atomic age the fullest collabora
tion between nations is impera
tive. In many respects the atom
bomb has already obliterated na
tional boundries. A new world has
been created and only the form
of a constitution is required to
make it one world."
