Home Ec Club members who want to order a pin should con tact Gwen Monson before March 1. By Bob Bruce One of the most persistent gripes encountered on the Ag campus in relation to classes is the lack of cooperation between departments within the college which causes duplication in the coverage of subject matter by different courses. As if this weren't bad enough, about two-thirds of this informa tion is conflicting. Apparently, to use a purely hypothetical case, what is good enough to dust cattle parasites in Entomology suddenly loses its potency when one is dealing with the department of Animal Husbandry and vice versa. All this is very confusing to the poor befuddled student who is already on his way to psy choneurosis from trying to re member a few dozen other sets of conflicting opinions. Lack of Organization The lack of organization is also evident in the way that the vari ous instructors regard the' field trips of other departments. Some instructors 'cooperate to the full est extent; but others will make no concessions, and again it is the pupil who pays. In many cases, it is easier to miss the trip and receive no credit for it than it is to go on the trip and make up the other courses. A few teachers even go so far as to assign extra work in addition to the make-up. In all justice to the committee on course of study, it should be adimtted that the problem of overlapping courses is a difficult one which can never be com pletely solved. ,The other situa tions mentioned," however, could be alleviated by a few inter-de-paitmental conferences. While frictions will continue to exist as long as the majority of the fac ulty are convinced that they are teaching the only course of the campus, the student will not be caught in the crossfire as he is now. It should not be assumed that all the instructors are involved in continual warfare with one another. The situation is not quite as bad as that. The fight ing is all too prevalent, however and If we are to believe that the university is set up for the best interests of the students, some thing should be done about it, but soon. Other Side On the other side of the ledger, it is high time that someone ex pressed their appreciation for the system of registration used at Ag college. The whole set-up was worked out to be as painless as possible to the student. Those of us who were spared the long lines which our downtown friends had to suffer are grateful indeed. be held Friday, Feb. 27, at 4 p. m. in the Stuart room of the city YWCA for women interested in joining the Lancaster county and University of Nebraska Ymine An organizational meeting will Democrats. . ... rm m f -at- t m: University'of Nebraska students will have an oppor tunity to vote on a measure more important than the usual run of campus elections when the proposal to ratify the National Student Association constitution comes before the student body in the next few weeks. Altho the exact date of the balloting has not yet been established, the comment and discussion on the measure, which will determine whether or not the University of Ne braska will join with the NSA in the United States and with the International Union of Students on a world-wide scale, has gradually gained momentum until more than a nucleus of interested students have some inkling of the project. And it is necessary that more than a clique of red-hot NSA sponsors be aware of the issue. The election to de termine whether or not the University of Nebrasa affiliates with the NSA will also determine whether or not an addi tional financial obligation will be borne by the students and whether or not the school will join with 47 other fully af filiated member schools of varying enrollments. The school s financial burden imposed by national dues of $369 is so small that it need not be a factor in a student's consideration of the question, but there are several other I factors which are definitely of interest to the student at- j tempting to weigh the problem intelligently. a - i a. - i-: i ia c cl I - l av aii excerpt num lesumony oy waiter o. oieeie. cnair- man of the National Security Committee of the American Coalition of Patriotic, Civic and Fraternal Societies, as he testified before the House Committee on Un-American Ac tivities declares: "Young Reds are evidencing considerable interest at the present time in a comparatively new youth movement, the National Student Organization, (the original NSA), which was conceived at a congress of youth held in Chicago late in 1946." The danger of Communistic infiltration of the ranks of NSA should be a major factor in the student's consideration of the question of affiliation with the NSA. Background for this fear is provided by excerpts from the Communist magazine( "Political Affairs" which boasted in a lo-page report on the NSA convention at Madison, Wis., late last summer that representatives "of the Council participate actively in the convention, contributing both to of Student Clubs of the Communist Partyr in democratic contrast to the procedure on many campuses, were able to participate actively in the. convention,, contributing both to the Constitution and to the program." , , . . .In further reference to the "Left and Progressive stu dents" at the Madison gathering, the magazipe says, "It much to the successful outcome of the convention." jv These are some of the problems which Nebraska stu- J dents should ponder. If they are confident that NSA can withstand Communist infiltration, then they should have no further worry. But if they fear that the NSA is an item of the Communist Party formula in a battle to recruit the strength of youth, the Nebrasa student's plan of action should be just as definite. . G. M. SENIOR MEETING Senior class president Glen Blinde has taken the first positive move on the pa.t of a class officer at the university in many a fortnight. Blinde, and his committee on Senior week, will submit their case to the senior class Thursday at 5 p. m. in Love Library auditorium. With so much talk about class offices having lost their meaning, Blinde's activity on behalf of the class of '48 is in deed welcome. Now a little cooperation from his constitu ents Thursday should put Glen on the road to making his office mean more than ever before.- 1 Boelmi, Anderson, Kellcy Win Right to Play in Carnegie Hall 'Dentyne Chewing Gum!"

Dentjrna Cum Mado Only By Adam BY SAM WARREN Si'rcial Pratnrra Editor The Dnl.y .Nruraskan Mary Louise Boehm, university instructor in piano, baritone Rob- bert Anderson, Teachers college senior, and violinist Geraldyne Kelley, Nebraska Wesleyan iun ior, last night won the right to perform in famed Carnegie Hall, New York, in auditions held be fore a Union ballroom audience. Chosen from a list of eight au ditionists by Mr. Anton Schubel of the Associated Concert Bureau which is sponsoring auditions throughout the nation, the three winners will be among 90 young artists to make New York debuts this spring. After strenuous preparation, a struggling musician who is ready to appear before the concert pub lic may rent the main auditorium of Carnegie Hall for $2,200. These Nebraskans, however, will have the same privilege at the expense of the concert bureau. In announcing " the winners, Schubel stated that the purpose of the' nation-wide auditions is to encourage every portion of the country to sponsor proming local talent, so that the finest in music need not always be heard in New York City alone. Miss Boehm, who will receive her master's degree in June, has soloed with the Chicago Civic I Symphony, the Northwestern Uni versity symphony and the Uni versity of Nebraska symphony. She will give her fourth profes sional Chicago recital in March. Anderson, who sang a leading role in the recent Fine Arts school's production of "Carmen," was a finalist in the famous At-water-Kent auditions a few years ago. During his naVy service, he was a member of a special serv ices male quartet directed by Rob ert Mitchell, noted Hollywood boys' choir director. Miss Kelley performed with An derson last . spring as audition winner of the Lincoln Symphony orchestra's annual student audi tion. She has appeared in numer ous civic recitals in Lincoln. Alpha Psi ot Kappa Sigma fra ternity has installed the following officers for the coming . year: President, Lachlan Ohman: vice president, Clapton Hughes; pledgemaster, Houtz Steenburg; secretary, Rex Hoffmeister; treas urer, Hugh Lang. Members of Sigma Alpha Mu have chosen Bernard Goldware as their new president, to take of fice during this semester. Other officers of the group are: Secre tary, Marvin Bernstein: treasurer, Lee Harris; assistant treasurer, Jack Thorman: historian. Jack Forman.
