Mon day asked the Senate to "help stoD World War III before it starts" by approving the Eu ropean Recovery Program. The leading Republican foreign rela tions expert made his plea as debate opened jn the $5,300,000, 000 question. International MOSCOW Travada, Izvestia. and other major Soviet news papers Sunday published the full text of Annabelle Buear's letter of resignation from the United contests forget that the university band plays for the sheer joy of playing. Under the direction of amiable Don Lentz the bandsters have been one of the main factors in making many Cornhusker contests a success. For their healthy and constructive interest in doing something for the university, the ROTC band deserves the - publication of the letter as a eon- Bucar, who recently married a Soviet citizen, charged the em bassy's policies were directed against the soviet people. The Associated Press predicts that the Russian people will take the thanks and applause vl the entire student body. A large audience received the ROTC program with deep interest but maximum response was not evinced until the band played 'Huskerland" and several other pep songs. Rarely has there been such a spontaneous demonstration of spirit seen at Nebraska. "Hus kerland" a new song written by Mr. Harry Miner evoked a great deal of favorable comment. Played for what amounted to the first time in the state under concert conditions, the band did an admir able job with a tune that is destined for a permanent place in the hearts of all Nebraskans. Last Sunday also gave ample evidence that no matter where or when the band is asked to perform, they do an excellent job. Ne braska can well afford to be proud of its great university ROTC symphonic band. WELCOME POTSY! According to the terms of his contract, Potsy Clark takes over the reins of Cornhusker football today. The Daily Ncbraskan takes this opportunity to welcome him back to the university and wish him all the luck in the world in a most difficult assignment. u There can be no question as to Clark's ability to coach football. With little marial. he was able to turn a team out in 1945 that showed a lot of fight. Clark has the too rare knack these days of instilling a "do or die" spirit into his players. We welcome you back, Coach Clark. The days ahead look rough but you've seen rough days before in your long career of coaching. Cornhusker fans, both student and alumni, will rally behind you, Potsy, and give you all the support they can. We wish you the best of luck.

Dentyn Gum Made Only By Adams firmation of Soviet charges of imperialism against the United Slates. HELSINKI Tlie Finnish con servative party announced Mon day tha its members of parlia ment had decided tentatively to urge the government to reject Stalin's suggestion that Finland and the Soviet Union negotiate a military pact. President Juho K. Passikivi, Premier Mauno Pekka la. Gen. Aarne Sihvo, comman der-in-chief of the armed forces, and several other officials con ferred for two and a half hours on the answer to Stalin. The matter will go before the parliament Tuesday. Pekkala was vmderstood to have recom mended the negotiation of a pact, for to turn down the soviet bid would aggravate Finnish-Soviet relations to a dangerous degree, while to accept could mean Fin land might get as favorable con ditions as possible towards keep ing national independence. Nebraska The weather, with the heaviest snow-fall of the season and threats of floods, took the spot light as sections of the Eastern lowlands were threatened Mon day. Waters were receeding in the Norfolk, Columbus and Wit her areas. GERING Terry Carpenter. Democratic pre-p r i m ar y "en dorsee" for the Senat. an nounced Monday that he will file for the post. Eckvall to Attend Regional Meeting Miss Jean Eckvall. chairman of the University YWCA commission group on Community Service, will represent the University YWCA at the north central region con ference of Young Women's Chris tian Associations, which will be held March 2 in Milwaukee, Wis.

One hundred and eighty student YWCA's from North and Sfuth Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Min nesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio will attend the region conference. Dear 'Editor: The student body might well consider the following quotation from an article by Dickson Hartwell which appeared in Readers Digest, March, 1948, page 7: "At the University of Wisconsin I found out how the National Students Association, organized last September, had beaten down militant left-wingers trying for control. It was an eight-day battle involving 700 student delegates representing 1,100,000 undergradu ates of 351 colleges and requiring of the leaders continuous sessions as much as 40 hours long. Out of the convention came a constitution, by-laws, a 'student bill of rights' and victory for the conservatives." The whole article would make interesting reading for those who are worried about Communism on Campus. EARL DYER, Jr. To The Editor: It is apparent that there is a need to remove unfair discrimina tion, to improve student government, to promote higher levels of teaching, and to raise the levels of political, social, and educational aspects of college life on our campuses. The N.S.A. was organized to help meet this need. Although problems of the aforesaid types might possibly be solved by individual campus action, their continued existence indi cates a need for an organization such as the N.S.A. The N.S.A. may not bb perfect it has been argued, with a degree of truth, that there are some structural defects in its constitution, but has any constitution ever been ratified free from defect? If the University of Nebraska fails to join N.S.A., we will lose the chance of organizing with students throughout the United States in an effort to meet our common needs. If we accept N.S.A., we will be in a position to help remove any inadequacies in the organ ization, but more important, we will have a medium through which we, as students, can work to solve the problems long existent on our college campuses. LEONARD HAMMES, HAROLD MEBELSICK. The Editor: The recent forum discussion of N.S.A. brought the issues openly before the students present and were resultant of some serious consideration by at least a few interested parties. After examining the issues which came to the floor, it seems obvious that they hre only two in number. The first is based upon the noteworthy principles of N.S.A. It was admitted even by the most verbose and the strongest of the opposition that no attack could be made on the purposes of N.S.A. or upon its principles. The second issues centered about the form of the Constitution of N.S.A. This question calls for an admission of weakness on the part of another group, those who support N.S.A. These 'are the big issues. The idealist will approve while the realist will not. I am a realist, but I cannot disapprove since the principles are so fine and worthy of the support of students and good citizens everywhere. Being a realist, I believe that there are sufficient safeguards to satisfy eveh the most doubting of my class. The University of Nebraska may withdraw from N.S.A. on 30 day notice and the most we could lose would be dues of one year. Our delegates will be chosen by our own student council and neither this nor any other student council will load a national convention with a reactionary group. We should be the first to attempt change in the national constitution since we have seen its mistakes and recognize the need ' for modification. If N.S.A. is to be accepted or defeated by the students of The University of Nebraska it should be done on these issues. Each voting student should decide if the purposes of the organiza tion are outweighed by the procedural blunders in the constitution. If we accept N.S.A. we may be part of those ffrie puropses and aid in the remedy of these constitutional mistakes. If we defeat N.S.A., we may and will do nothing and return to our complacency of inaction and stagnation. -,. A Law Student Innocents will meet tonight at 9:30.
