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.

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.

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

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.
