NIGHT NEWS EDITOR ANOTHER BOARD MEETING The university athletic board meets Monday night and pre sumably will discuss football coach Bernie Masterson's contract and the future of Cornhusker sports. It is fairly safe to assume that the "battle of Masterson" in the press and that this "battle" will settle absolutely nothing. Col. Walt Dobbins, sports editor of the Lincoln Journal, seems to have taken the healthiest attitude among the several all-seeing scribes in his column of last Thursday. Mr. Dobbins predicts that one of five things may happen. He lists the five possibilities as: 1. Announcement of a new director. 2. Vote of confidence to Coach Masterson and his staff. 3. Settlement with Masterson on his contract. 4. Announcement of a director-coach. 5. Nothing-. Judging from the boards past performance, the last item is the safest assumption. It can only be hoped that the board takes some definite, positive action that will heal the sore that harms the Ne braska athletic situation, the longer it is allowed to continue. Con ceivably the board will make dual action in either announcing a new director and giving Bernie a vote of confidence or announcing a new director-coach and buying up Bernie's contract. Giving- Masterson and his staff a vote of confidence seems to be the best possible move at the present time. Putting- the entire issue on an economic level, how many of the alums and students who are howling- for his scalp would be willing- to shell out a groodly piece of change to ret rid of him? No one will argue with the statement that $30,000 is a lot of money. It Is a lot of money that could be used to much better advantage in the university. The board's main decision it would seem will be whether Bernie stays or goes. If they decide that Masterson is not the coach for Nebraska, a horde of new problems will arise. By unloading the present head coach, it is not too mich of a stretch of the imagination to conceive of the university's getting a national reputation as a coach's graveyard. If would be very doubt ful that any well-known football mentor would come to a school that yields to the slightest whims of the fans and alumni As a guarantee, any new coach would probably want a contract similar to Masterson's present agreement. Then, with a couple of bad sea x sons, the whole farce would be repeated and the university might be out another $30,000. Settling up with Bernie right now would be neither good busi ness nor good sense. , If the board feels that a crar will help the situation, they should appoint someone as soon as possible. By leaving things up in the air, the athletic board has failed in its duty to the university and the state. It can only be hoped that tomorrow night will straighten out the whole mess. FIRST CONTRIBUTORS Honors for the title of first contributors to the Abraham Lincoln Friendship train drive on campus go to Wilson Hall and Beta Sigma Psi. The Wilson Hall girls, well-known on campus for their interest in such humanitarian drives, gave $10. The Beta Sigs were the first Greek organization with $25. All contributions turned in at The Daily Nebraskan office will be turned over to G. W. Roseniof on Wednesday. Money should be sent to The Daily Nebraskan before Wednesday if possible. The city of Lincoln is falling behind outstate towns and rural communities in contributions. With a few days left before the cam paign ends, university students and Lincolnites will have to push hard "to equal the challenge that has been laid down by the smaller communities in the state. Members of organizations meeting Monday night can discuss the train drive and meet the deadline without any difficulty. Individual contributors can bring their money to The Daily Nebraskan any aft ernoon this week.

Omar N. Bradley took oer as chief of staff of the army of the United States Saturday in place of Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower, who will assume presi dential responsibilities in June of Columbia university. The 57 year-old Eisenhower, who has no political aspirations, steps out of the army after 33 years of serv ice. Claiming to have completed the assignment for which he was ap pointed last September as a spe cial consultant on problems of army procurement - of supplies and industrial mobilization plans as special assistant to Secretary o( the Army Royall, Edwin W. Pauley, resigned his post. Pauley Is subject to congressional in Quiries into his commodity mar ket tradings, an issue set off by Harold Stassen, G.O.P. presiden tial aspirant. Nebraska's Secretary of State Frank Marsh reiterated Saturday that if legally sufficient petitions are filed to place the name of Henry Wallace, on the Nebraska democratic presidential prefer ence ballot, his name will go on the ballot unless the courts order it off. Such action has been strongly protested by democratic State Chairman Ritchie of Omaha and Wallace's campaign manager, C. B. Baldwin of New York, both of whom claim Wallace is run ning on a third party ticket. Under Nebraska laws, a third party could not be formed in time toi the primary election. It will take four hundred signatures to have the name of Wallace appear on the democratic ballot. The controversy comes as member or ganizations of the C.I.O. through out the country are pledging sup port to Wallace and the new party, in a protest against the Taft-Hartley bill and other leg islation supported by the two major parties that labor claims is responsible for inflation and putting us on the road to war. Justice department and rail road attorneys, finishing their oral arguments in the govern ment's railroad anti-trust action in federal court In Lincoln, dashed off to Washington to pre pare their attacks for the legis lative battle now shaping up in congress over the Bulwinkle rail bill, which would free railroads from the Sherman anti-trust laws. As yet no Nebraska congress man or senator has moved to amend the bill, the third attempt by railroad lobbies, so its provi sions will not destroy the anti trust suit pending here, although such amendment has been made by the gentlemen from Georgia, facing a similar situation. A cooling off period on discus sion in committee of the rent control bill will last until Feb. 16, just 13 days before the present bill expires. Rent controls, which are an important turn in the spiral of inflation, has long been a target of londlord lobbies and vested interest groups, which shall probably be responsible for a ten-day extension of the pres ent bill, pending the drafting and passing of new legislation. Senate republican whip Ken neth Wherry, a leader in the "re visionist movement," has stated that the administration's proposed new $9,333,000,000 foreign aid program U out of the question. The program includes the Euro pean recovery program, aid to the Philippines, China, and possibly Greece and Turkey, plus expen ditures In occupied countries. The ERP is still In committee as the major factor of time dwindles from the crucial point of winter aid. New Managers To Take Office At YM Banquet Don Crowe, president of the itv V M C.

In addition he is a member of Pi Mu Epsilon, math honor ary, and served as chairman of religious groups for the A.U.F. drive. - Don is intent upon seeing an increase in Y.M.C.A. activities and membership.
