Merle 8taloer. Irwla Che a The Campus Scene . . . The campus is buzzing with political activity, but it's not the usual run of campus pontes, ino, mis year, a. presidential election year, the campus has become a key stone in the statewide campaign plans of candidates for both national and state offices. Political strategists are not neglecting the sizeable number of university students who will go to the polls in the April primaries and in the November election. Both Democrats and Republicans have organized clubs on the campus, Henry Wallace's third party has its campus or ganization, and there are several university groups de voted to pushing the presidential aspirations of various candidates. 1 For students the opportunity to get a good look at the functionings of national parties is a good lesson in prac tical citizenship. No matter what the student's personal political affiliation, he has a chance to investigate other parties and aid the candidates he supports. Activity of this sort is a novelty to most University of Nebraska students. An inspection of Daily Nebraskan editions this year will show the interest which is present. The paper has carried a steady record of state and national political action on the campus. To see if the wealth of political activity was usual dur ring the election years, we checked Daily Nebraskan files. The 1944 editions of the paper contained little mention of national and state political activity as related to the cam pus, but war, conditions had altered the usual campus situ ation at that time. In 1940 more attention was given to politics on the campus than in '44, but the interest still failed to rival the present hum of local and national campaigning. The change can be attributed in large measure to the increased average age of college students. The heavy per centage of veterans in school had boomed the number of students of voting age to a new high and practical poli ticians are not ignoring this reservoir of votes. w IS-Vtt"- W " 1,, , ,, r- in iiir tt urrnr srrnn in 1 ImHj&M Campus News In Brief Cosmopolitan Club will meet Wednesday, at 7:00 p.m. in room 315 of the Union.

AD-LIBBING RADIO TKAM, Mary Dye and Bill Palmer, present "Personality of the Week", a public service program which intro duces renowned campus personages. The couple agrees it is "not the most orthodox radio program on the air." Dye, Palmer Present Personality9 Show "This is KFOR, Lincoln, pre senting Mary and Bill fn "Per sonality of the Week." With that cue Bill Palmer and Mary Dye begin their weekly radio show, aired at 10:30 on Wednesday nights. The program had its initial per formance in September, 1947 after KFOR had selected "Personality of the Week" from five types of programs Bill had suggested. Bill, on the lookout for new talent, con tacted Mary in the radio depart ment and sought her assistance m running the new show. The primary purpose of the pro gram is public service. Bill and Mary invite guests whom they feel will be of greatest interest to uni versity students and who will pro mote the university and its ac tivities. Students from the univer sity theater, Cornhuskerf rag of fice, and Student council have been asked to participate in the program so that the student body may better understand their func tions. Contrast Program. The program given during the seventy-ninth anniversary of the university featured Maurice Hyde, class president of 1898 and Glen Blinde, class president of 1948, who contrasted the college life and activities of their respective classes. Dr. Hoover, assistant reg istrar, Duane Lake, Union director, Professor Bogen, instructor in speech and radio, and Harry Good, university basketball coach have been some of the personalities pre sented by Mary and Bill. "Personality of the Week" is not the most orthodox radio program on the air," stated Bill. The script is written after a guest has been invited to visit the program. The average fifteen minute show usu ally requires ten pages of script. Not so on this program. Bill writes approximately four pages, partici pants assume an informal atti tude and their ad-libbing fre quently highlights the program. As late as an hour before air time, Bill has sought his personality of the week. Never has thfs radio team disappointed their audience by failing to secure a renowned personage, even though they have had to present one guest by proxy, and others through various means. The Stars. Mary is from Lincoln and a se nior speech major in Teachers col lege. She is a member of Mortar Board, president of Co-ed Coun selors, member of the debate team, Alpha Sigma Pi, radio fra ternity, Delta Sigma Pi, speech fraternity, and of Alpha Omicron Pi sorority. Foremost in Mary's plans for the future is a spring wedding. Bill, who hails from Omaha, is also a senior speech major. He is publicity chairman for the Student council, member of Nebraska Masquers, Kosmet Klub, and Kappa Sigma fraternity. Bill is in terested in public relations work, preferably for a theatrical show. Former NU Athletic Greats Take New Jobs H. S. "Sam" Francis, former University of Nebraska Ail-American gridder and Olympic track star, is back in the army. Francis has accepted a com mission in the regular army and will return to active duty in the quartermaster corps as a lieuten ant colonel. He held that rank in February, 1947, when he was re leased from active duty at his own request. He coached foot ball at Kansas State college last fall. Francis has been reporting for orientation training in supply, de pot operations and distribution center activities in connection with the return of World War II dead. In the latter part of March, Colonel Francis will leave ior an assignment in the Panama Canal Zone. News Print WEATHER. Wednesday will bring lower temperatures with considerable cloudiness to the Lincoln area. The high should be in the upper forties with moderate northerly winds most of the day. THE UNITED NATIONE. . Trieste Still held the spotlight of the international deli ma Tues day. U. S. diplomatic sources turned a cold shoulder to the Yu goslav proposal that a "trade" be arranged to give another Italian city to the Slavs. Officials in Washington made it plain that the free territory of Trieste is not Yugoslavia's to put up for bargain. Italian reaction shuddered at the suggestion of "a part of Ital ian flesh bartered for another part of Italian flesh." Reports in Italy showed hope there that treaty revisions will return part of her African colonies. Meanwhile, at Lake Success, N. Y., Russia quietly watched the opening moves against her coup in Czechoslovakia. While Gromyko sat silently, the Soviet Ukraine termed the charges brought by Chile "a fable." "There are limits beyond which this tide must not advance, and it delegate said in condemning the Communist seizure of the Czech government. He admitted the risk that this may not be possible by peaceful means. "IN TIMES OF TEACE." There seems an air of vague familiarity about of the Wash ington scene today. Congression al hesitancy is reminiscent of the 1939-40 era when congress strug gled against itself toward the "unprecedented peace-time draft." Secretary Marshall stepped be fore the Senate Armed Services committee Tuesday for a 50 min ute secret session. With him were Defense Secretary Forrestal and Army Secretary Royall. All three were reported agreed on the absolute necessity of both selective service and universal military training. Marshall reportedly declined to draw a line thru Europe across which Russia must not step. Congressional action to both military measures remains mixed and equivocable.
