Upon his death he left the university two Dodge county farms, totalling 348 acres, the in come from which was to be used to perpetuate the memory of his father, James Henry Montgomery, and family, long-time Dodge county residents. In 1945 the university's re search council approved estab lishment of a lectureship which would bring to the campus emi nent authorities who would dis cuss topics of current interest to the faculty, the students, and the general public. The lectures would be designed to "generate constructive thought on current problems. In 1946 the Board of Regents approved the research council's proposal to use the Montgomery gift to finance the lectureship. One lectureship will be given each year, but this year two will be given because of income accum ulated since the gift was received by the university. Hanson Discusses Weed Eradication Noel S.

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Straight Stuff BY SUSIE REED. Well, the D. U. "orchard" party was a success in every sense of the word. The "Delta Upsiloners" and their dates were quite dis appointed over the fact that Sal "June Christie" Holmes was un able to sing because of a severe cold, but aside from this mishap, verybody had one big time. Among the notables on hand for the dance was Jim Sullivan of Omax, who was seen leaving the dance floor at frequent intervals to check on the atmospheric con ditions. Jim, whose hobby is "Lodestone O'Toole," also took the consolation prize in a band lead ing contest and won a picture of our late president, George Wash ington, surrounded by four "l's." Jack "Frank Sinatra" Cottington walked away with second prize, a new sax. First prize winner was none other than Miss Jody Wol cott who received a lovely king sized chest-of-drawers.

The Russian motion picture, with added English sub-titles, will be shown .at 8 p. m. in the Temple Theater. Admission will be 50c, including tax.

It revolves about a Russian soldier who cap tures three apartment houses in a part of the city and tries to keep them from the Germans. It tells of his two buddies and their love of two nurses, all in the stress of battle. The San Francisco Chronicle hailed "Days and Nights" as "the outstanding foreign film of 1947." It has received favorable notices throughout the United States. Warren Rischling of the YMCA is in charge of this showing. The complete scries is under the di rection of Gordon Lippett, Y director. Affiliation With NSA It has been nearly five months since original plans lor th wrvk versity's affiliation with the United States National Student Asso ciation were submitted to the Student Council. Aside from the formation of a special committee on USNSA, the Council has taken little if any action on the subject. Such reticence is understandable.' since a high university official advised council members to proceed cautiously. With the tinge of "red" that every new student organization must overcome, it is only common sense to examine carefully every fact of a group be fore affiliation. However, five months would seem to be a reasonable length of time to arrive at some definite decision. The Council should be able to offer a report to the student body either favoring or oppos ing the entrance of the university into the ranks of the 200 or more colleges already affiliated with NSA. Certain Council members, anxious to prevent a blot on the fair escutcheon of Nebraska U., have been extremely conscientious In investigating this national student organization. They have met, in weekly meetings, with delegates to the national and regional meetings. They have read reams of material handed out by the NSA and by every interested pressure group. Now would seem to be an opportune time to report out of committee and request either a vote by the Council or a decision by campus-wide election. One of the major problems faced in affiliating with NSA has been the recurring doubt that it is of any actual value in everyday life at this university. Speaking frankly, delegates have admitted that as yet, NSA has not had an adequate opportunity to demon strate its value on any campus. The National Student Association is seemingly loaded with potentialities. Flooded with good ideas, the fledgling youth group at Madison, Wisconsin, has lacked neces sary finances and necessary membership to carry through. Thus, critics of any such group, fearing the infiltration of Com munists and fellow-travelers, have had a strong talking point against affiliation. They have said that it would be wiser to wait and see what NSA can do and that it would be wiser to wait and make sure that NSA is not Communist dominated. i , Supporters' of the organization1 answer these ideas with the theory that the longer universities wait to affiliate, the less chance the NSA has to becoming a success since members and money are the two vital necessities for existence. They also say. that if demo cratic institutions hold back, there is a possibility that the pinkoes, fellow-travelers,' et al will get a strong hold and never let go. In reference, to Nebraska, supporters of affiliation with NSA claim that the university would profit in many different ways by such affiliation. ' They point to the information service offered by NSA: a service that integrates news of campus problems and dis tributes it throughout the nation. They point to the projected ex change plans in connection with foreign travel and the accompany ing services to American students. NSA would eventually hope to correlate the credit, hour systems in the schools of the nation and facilitate transfer procedure. In other words, those who desire the university's affiliation with NSA have numerous favorable arguments, all rather nebulous but nonetheless praise worthy. Critics can present equally nebulous arguments built around possibilities on the negative side. Whether the Council's committee will OK affiliation remains to be seen. Certainly they have come to some decision in the interim of five months since NSA was presented to them. Whether they have decided or not, a report should be made o the student body with the possible result of putting the problem before the en tire student body. Five months is a long time even for such a knotty problem as the United States National Student Association. J. H. Bulletin PRE-LAW. A. C.
