An Opportunity. . ;,
University students have an opportunity this year to
participate in an educational program on UNESCO, a part
of the United Nations program.
If the co-operation of all organized groups can be se
cured the YMCA and YWCA will be able to go ahead
with plans for a three-day educational UNESCO conference.
Organizations will be grouped together to represent all the
countries of the United Nations and other schools through
out Nebraska will send delegates to help in this representa
tion. Six members of each group will be an actual part of
the conference, each serving on a committee of UNESCO.
With all members of the various organizations working to
gether on this, very little work or effort will be entailed.
Any reference work needed could be divided among as many
members as necessary to accomplish it with the greatest ef
ficiency and a minimum of effort.
The conference is to be built along the same lines as the
well-known peace conference held on the Nebraska campus
a few years ago. This conference gained national recognition.
Now, the University of Nebraska has an opportunity to put
on an even better conference about a topic of current and
vital interest. It also promises to be of great value to stu
dents. It offers a chance to learn and understand the pur
poses, accomplishments and workings of UNESCO, a proj
ect in which Chancellor Gustavson has taken an extremely
active part.
Lois Thorfinson and Dale
Stauffer, presidents of the Ag
Vs, would like all members who
are interested in attending the
annual fall YM-YW conference
in Hastings on Nov. 5 and 6 to
turn their names in to them or to
Miss Ruth Shinn or Gordon Lip
pett. "Faith Without Works Is Dead"
Is the theme of the conference
and Dr. Kessler of the First Pres
byterian church of Hastings is
the main speaker. He w,ill speak
on the theme.

O.V SALE AT
Nebraska university's Prairie
Schooner, quarterly literary
magazine edited by Dr. L. C.
Wimberly, has been selected to
participate in an international
literary pool operated by
UNESCO.
The pool is designed to lurther
mutual understanding between
peoples by the greatest possible
exchange of articles between lit
erary magazines of all countries.
Articles appearing in the
Prairie Schooner will be re
printed in similar magazines all
over the world. And other maga
zine's articles may be reprinted
in the Prairie Schooner.
Translations of articles will be
done at UNESCO headquarters
in Paris.
Dr. Butchers
Chosen Head
Of Ed Group
Dear Editor:
It is true that we vets don't have to concern ourselves
with the high cost of new books. If it weren't for the vet
erans on this campus, however, the University Bookstore
next semester would be able to sell these new books to regu
lar students at a lower rate. (According to Tuesday's edi-
loriai, me v. a. is tne only obstacle.)
ly can't the veterans buy their books at the Regents
Bookstore only Then the University would not have to
guarantee list prices to independent bookstores; the non
veteran students would benefit by lower prices; and Uncle
Sam would'nt have to pay out so much to send us to school.
Everyone would be happy except the independent book
stores. This plan is actually at work at the University of
Southern California and probably at many other colleges
in the country. At U.S.C., the only way a vet can obtain a
book outside of the University Bookstore is when that book
is not in stock. A special requisition is then issued to the
veteran which allows him to obtain his book elsewhere.
If the University adopted this method of handling
books, there would be a few things left to iron out, such as:
The disposition of the book stocks on hand at the in
dependent stores.
The ability of the Regents Bookstore to handle the ad
ditional volume of trade. (U.S.C.'s store is a little larger
than our own.)
