PICKET KILLED.
Strike violence broke out In
Waterloo, la., where 1,000 na
tional guardsmen were called out
to maintain order after one
C.I.O. packinghouse picket was
killed. The murdered man was
identified as William Firrell.
A murder charge was filed
against Fred Roberts, 55 year old,
non-union cleanup man at the
plant, who claimed he sought to
shoot into the ground when
pickets stormed his car.
Meanwhile in Chicago and many
other strike areas throughout
the nation union members were
preparing to take a membership
vote to see whether or not . the
66 day old strike would continue.
ARABS GAIN IN FIGHT.
Forty thousand Arab troops
threatened to take over the
ancient city of Jerusalem either
Thursday or Friday. The Arab
high command reported that
fresh reinforcements were now
pouring into the city and that
only 4,000 Jews were offering re
sistance. The Arab force is ten
times that number.
The Jewish air force reported
their first noted activity since the
beginning of the first full scale
war since the ending of hostil
ities of World war II.
An American - Belgian - French
commission again spent another
day in trying in vain to work out
a suitable peace treaty.
Representatives of both tides
again talked peace terms, but
they again left without coming
near a solution.
GERMAN BORDER CLOSED.
Under order from Gen. George
. Hays, deputy military governor
for Germany, all Russian move
ments across the American-Rus
sian rones m oermany were
closed Wednesday.
Meanwhile the peace exchange
commission hetween Russian and
U. S. officials seemed to be com
ing to a deadlock as all other
such missions have done in the
past.
The Soviets reported that any
agreement must have in it terms
concerning issues from the right
of human individuals to control
of the atom bomb.

THE NIMBLE SPANIEL
By Sam Warren
The University theater will pre
sent awards to four of its players
for outstanding performances in
leading and supporting roles at its
annual banquet tonight at the
Cornhusker. Our considered
opinion would line up the win
ners and an excellent season
makes the choice difficult in this
manner.
To Rita. Shaw for her splendid
performance as Maid of Orleans
in "Joan of Lorraine" should go
the award for the best female
lead. (Theater-goers will be dis
appointed if Mrs. Shaw is not
"oscared" just because she is no
longer in school.) Jack Wen
strand would receive our nod for
his spirited characterization of
Petruchio in "Taming of the
Shrew." "Joan," incidentally rates
with us as the outstanding pro
duction of the season.
Best in supportini roles were
Martie Huff as the posing actress
Lorraine Sheldon In "The Man
Who Came to Dinner," and versa
tile Gay lord as Cramps in
The Petrified Forest." Off the
beaten board, of. main stage, a
possible "oscar" could be .given
The Man from Dallas" for his
performances at Nebraska Mas

And speaking of awards, we'd
like to bestow a few awards our
selves. For example, The Iago
Award for Villany we hand to
Pub Board member Clay Kennedy
who, last semester, in the best of
AGR tradition of enmity, deliv
ered the royal shaft to 'former'
Ag News Editor Keith Fredrick
son, of the Farm House estate. A
few words here, an unfiled ap
plication there and the trick was
done. Congratulations Honest,
Honest Clayago.
Another AGR, of considerably
different mettle. Is the recipient
of our award to the senior man
whose caliber and Integrity are of
the type most needed and most
significant in extra-currienlar ac
tivtles. That man Is Ned Rann.
Ned will be missed next year. Be
longing to the same class of de
pendable, straight-forward people
who make activities meaningful
is Joanne Aekerman whose con
tribution from the secretary's
chair to Student Council this past
year has been Immeasurable. Jo
receives the award in the women's
division.

As a calandar year draws to a
close, newsmen annually glance
back over 12 months and come up
with a list of the ten top stories
in the year's news. As this aca
demic year becomes a part of
newspaper files, we'd like to con
tent ourselves with just two stor
ies, of the "point with pride and
view with alarm" contrast.
The most encouraging event in
campus news, to our mind, was
the breaking of the faction's jinx,
when the election of Dale Ball as
president of Student Council
demonstrated not only that the
faction could be whipped (and
this should be a sign unto you)
but also (and in these days this
is often more important) that the
deserving candidate can still win.
The news story most distasteful
in itself, and most amusingly il
logical in its subsequent develop
ments, was the decision ostensibly
by "the senior class" and the Uni
versity Senate to discontinue of
ficial University Baccalaureate
services primarily on grounds that
the few hundred seniors who at
tend the services oat of the thou
sand graduating embarrass the
guest speaker.
The irony of the whole situation
is that the administration then
turned around and asked churches
throughout Lincoln to hold special
services, to reserve seats for sen
iors who are urged to attend in
cap and gown, and to prepare
special baccalaureate sermons.
And so the embarrassment is
shifted from the university to the
many conscientious minister who
will comply, but who will see
few caps and gowns in their sev
eral audiences. But more of this
on Sunday.
a a
But back to our scattered
awards. To Stan Johnson we give
the SURPRISE PACKAGE
AWARD for being probably the
only president of Innocents to be
elected both to Phi Beta Kappa
and Sigma XI.. For the three
senior personalities of next year
we extend the THEY'RE GOOD
KIDS ANYWAY AWARD. Jerry
Johnston, Eileen Ifcpperty, and
Dace Boylan. Their eases Join the
