Mrrla BtaltVr, Inrla (hraaa A FINE WEEK-END This last week-end was one of the better three day periods in Cornnusker athletics that we can think of. Just to summarize the rec ord, Nebraska took second place in the conference swimming meet, second place in the conference wreitling meet, wound up its most successful basketball season since 137 with a win over K.U., won the invitational gymnastic meet at Colorado and the ROTC rifle squad took first at Booneville, Mo. To our way of thinking-, this last weekend demonstrates what Chancellor Gus means by a well-rounded athletic program. It's true that there isn't a conference champ in the list but the summation makes Nebraska a power to be reckoned with anytime, anywhere. More important than that, this fine record was achieved without any ver-emphasis on athletics. In all sports involved, it is doubtful that there were more than a dozen out of state men competing One of the most amazing things about minor sports at Nebraska is that they operate on a fiscal shoe string with relatively little publicity. Athletic public relations cover them in fine style, but they are more or less slighted by the state newspapers. A lot of thanks should be riven to Coaches Hollie Lepley, Husker swim mentor and one of the better contact men the university has, Charlie Miller, a fine gymnast coach and a real gentleman, Harry Good, the Iloosier shot in the arm that Nebraska basketball has needed for bo long, Pat Patterson, now turning Nebraska into a first rate wrestling power, and John Lovold, army sergeant and hard working rifle squad coach. These men are doing yeomen work in putting the university on the road to becoming an all-around athletic power. Con gratulations to them all. UN Rifle Team Wins Top Place In Indoor Match University advanced ROTC Rifle Team won first place in the senior class of the annual Midwest Indoor Camp Perry rifle matches at Kemper Military school, Boonville, Mo., March 5 and 6. The total team score was 720 out of a possible 800. Individual scores, out of a possible 200, were: Herb Miller, 185; William Brandt, 181; Walt Palmer, 178; and Gerald Roesler, 176. Palmer and Miller also copped second and sixth place, respec tively, in the individual kneel ing match. The team coach is 1st Sgt. John Lovold. News Print IOWA STATE LEAD Iowa State's Cardinal Guild is leading the fight once more against racial discrimination in the Big Seven. It is a fight that should never have been allowed to die. Sustained publicity, with no punches pulled, is the chief weapon students can use against the gentleman's agree ment. The Iowa State governing body has decided to submit the recom mendation made last November by representatives of five of the seven conference schools to Iowa State's students. It is felt that favorable action in the spring elections will add weight to the movement against discrimination. Proposed ballots will contain the present regulation re stricting Negro participation and the re-written clause which 4 as com pleted on this campus. The council should take heed of this action. If the Iowa State and Nebraska delegations to the next faculty conference can carry with them an expression of thousands of students, tabling may be avoided. Dean Roy Green, engine college head and member of the board at the university, wrote in his column "The Dean's Corner" in the Nebraska Blue Print that proponents of ending discrimination in the Big Seven were going about it in the wrong way. The Dean said that discrimina tion cannot be legislated out of existence. The Dean has either missed the point or is begging the question. There has been no attempt to legislate discrimination out of existence. There most definitely has been an attempt to end present discrim inatory legislation. There is a vast difference between the two. We agree with Dean Green that legislation is not the solution. We feel that the end of legislation may serve to solve the problem. An end should be put to the majority being dictated to by the mi nority. If Oklahoma and Missouri do not want to participate in ath letics on a democratic basis, let them get out of the conference! There can be no legislation forcing action which is already considered a guar anteed right in the Constitution, Dean Green. All we want to see is the Immediate end of Jim Crow in Cornhusker athletics. . International. BRUSSELS, Belgium Diplo matic informants in Brussels re ported to news services that Bri tain, France, Belgium, The Neth erlands, and Luxembourg are agreed on basic political, legal and military principles for a stop Communism alliance. a a a COMPIEGNE, France The re cent speech of General de Gaulle, in which he modestly stated that he was ready to return to power "when called," has hit France like a political bombshell. His blunt call for American military sup port of the Union of Western Europe was hailed by conserva tives but the Communists said ft indicated "total submission to the foreign policy of America." The General's attacks on the govern ment of Premier Schuman was expected to develop a crisis which might unseat the Government. HELSINKI, Finland President Juho K. Paasikivi announced Monday that the government has agreed to Marshal Josef Stalin's proposal to negotiate Russo-Fin-nish friendship and military pacts. United Nations The United States, Russia, Chi na and France launched one-week emergency talks on the Palestine dilemma Monday with a unani mous decision to bring Great Britain and United Nations Secre tary General Trygve Lie into the deliberations. National WASHINGTON The Senate Monday unanimously approved a Marshall plan amendment aimed at cutting off shipments of scarce U. S. industrial goods to Russia. WASHINGTON A press re lease by the National Liberal League stated that the Supreme Court ruled, in an 8 to 1 decision, that public school systems may not be used to assist religious groups in giving religious instruction. a a a CHICAGO Corn, wheat and soybeans dropped the limit al lowed for a single day's trading on the Chicago board of trade Monday. The bottom alsor fell out of the Lincoln markets. The first of three preferential primaries which could make or break a couple, of Republican presidential aspirants takes place Tuesday in the Republican state of New Hampshire. Dewey op poses Stassen for the state's eight delegates to the national conven tion. If the popular Stassen wins a split, which is expected, or breaks better than even, it will mean a decisive set back for f Dewey. (Late note) According to late word from a Student Council member Dean T. J. Thompson's office has cancelled the proposed poll of the student body on the NSA question. The poll was nipped be cause three deans deans voted against taking up class time Friday morning to carry it out. a a An OPEN LETTER TO THE STUDENTS: One week from Wednesday in your nine a. m. classes you will be handed a form on which yovi may indicate your pinion about joining the United States National Student Association (NSA). This poll is being conducted by the Student Council. It was suggested that the council use the poll solely as a guide and that three opinions be included on the ballot: "Yes," "No." and "Undecided." It was implied that if, for example, 100 voted "yes," 50 voted "no," and 2,000 were undecided, the "yes" plur ality would not be binding. x The council rejected this suggestion because it wanted the students of the university to make the FINAL decision. It did try to incorporate the "Undecided" opinion in the poll. The essential features of the council poll are: (1) The "vote" of the student body will be FINAL. (2) Three opinions will be expressed on the questionnaire, ( ( ) ( ) votes ONLY, will Yes No I do not choose to vote (3) A majority of the "yes" and "no" determine the outcome. (4) The "I do not chose to vote" ballots will be consid . ered as not being cast. The result is that the poll has the force of an election. Further, the "undecided" votes will have no influence upon its outcome. Thus, in the above example, 100 "yes," 50 "no," and 2,000 un decided votes would affiliate Nebraska with the NSA. It is estimated that 4,500-5,500 students will be contacted by the poll. For the election to be fair, it is imperative that everyone make a decision and vote "yes" or "no."
