Cub C'ltm NlKht News Editor M. i. Mrllrk Comment Number 2 . . . Those who looked further into a Tuesday front-page story headed "Cornhusker gets new arrival," found that it was another publication, ''Cornshucks,'' which recently obtained the additional space. (A hasty " 'scuse please" for another "Daily" inaccuracy.) Last spring we put ourselves on a limb for lampooning aforementioned publication, were asked what business we had criticizing another publication, why didn't we clean up our own back yard, who were we to be judging the magazine, etc. That was eight months ago. Now, for the pleasure of sardonic bystanders, we'll eat those words. To this year's staff, with two issues behind them, we extend congratulatory roses for showing a great improve ment over past editions and giving promise for bigger and better issues to come. Suh features, for example, as the pictorial coverage of the student migration trip and Jan Haugseth's "The Union Lounge when Lake ain't lookin' " (Beauty Queen issue) have the kind of humor and interest to appeal to most university students. As "Cornshucks" continues to find able means of presenting the humorous side of college life it should find its circulation ever-growing. With its added space for operations and its present staff, bent hard on putting out a good magazine, students will do well to consider "Cornshucks" for their extra curricular activity. Norm Leger Feel Shopworn? Shop Refreshed Over forty campus UNESCO chairmen heard Dr. V. Oester gaard of Copenhagen, Denmark discuss international co-operation Tuesday evening in the Union. Dr. Oestergaard, formerly state school gentafte (superintendent) and professor of Greek, Latin, and German in Denmark, now teaches literature at Kansas State college. He has recently returned from the Paris UNESCO Confer ence for Educators to which he was the Danish delegate. The Danish doctor emphasized two points for better international PE Director Conducts Child Therapy Class BY GENE BERG. "Look, Mom, look! I can do it! I can walk straight, Mom!" Ten-year-old Joe beams with each firm step he takes in front of Grant Memorial hall.- His mother stands nearby, offering encouragement. This is a brief practice session. They have just left Joe's "own school," the two-hour physical education class which the Wom en's Physical Education depart ment conducts for handicapped children every Saturday morning as a laboratory session for- a re quired major's course. Group Numbers 20 Organized for children afflicted with cerebral palsy, physical han dicaps and bad posture, Joe's "school ' is made up of a group numberine nearly 20 children and their mothers from Lincoln and surrounding towns. At ten, Joe is in the middle of the age extremes in the class. 5 ' ' to 16 years. Clara I.

Dr. Oestergaard maintained that the two greatest barriers in the road to this co-operation are the language barrier and Euro pean resentment of the United States' influence in UNESCO. "European interest also lags be cause of the physical interests surpassing cultural interests," added Dr. Oestergaard. "I also be lieve that an international lan guage is not needed, as its primary benefits would be artificial." drcn are transported to the classes by Red Cross Motor corps mem bets, most of them are brought bv their mothers. Rausch Comments It's the individual that matters in the Saturday class, Miss Rausch emphasized. " Each child is as signed to a college student, who helps by studying the background of the case and the physical handi caps of the child. Then Miss Rausch recommends exercises and training to secure improvement in the child's condition and the col lege giil carries them out under her supervision. The lessons arc fun in Joe's "school," for often they are games or such exercises as weight-lifting and football-kicking. "Social ization" is a big factor in the psychological attitude of the f 'A is I V (Citlkt J More cases 1 infantile paralysis have been reported in Nebraska in the past four years than in all of the previous 20, according to the State Department of Health records. In 1948, 717 cases of the disease were reported in Nebraska. This is the largest number ever re ported for a calender year in the state's medical histoy and repre sents more than one-third of all cases recorded in the state since 1930. Counties Have Chapters Fortunately, every county in Nebraska has a chapter of the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. These chapters pro vide money for treatment and care of polio patients who need financial assistance. Polio is one o! the most costly diseases known to medicine. Ne braska chapters of the National Foundation, during 1948, paid or obligated themselves to pay, a total of $248,526.87 on behalf of care and treatment of 847 polio patients. This amount exceeded by more than $100,000 the chapters' share from the 1948 March of Dimes. AL'F to Begin Drive The All University Fund drive will begin in the near future. Part o fthe money collected during the drive wil be given to the Nation al Foundation for Infantile Para lysis. Your contribution will aid the people of Nebraska to fight and some day completely stamp out infantile paralysis. J. Paul Sheet.)

The handicapped children of the class are enthusiastic and inter ested in their training afid their progress, says Miss Rausch. Joe himself once confided to the in structor, "I'm going to show im provement.'" That was after he was reminded of the football-kicking practices of Grozo of the Cleveland Browns and had de cided to become some team's spe cial kicker himself. This was in spite of Joe's spastic foot. The Physical Education depart ment has aided in such a course as this class for the past twenty yea is and has graduated many girls interested in physical therapy rrom it. Thus, Miss Rausch and her associates are "very encour aged' over the possibility of a law providing for state-wide edu cational opportunities for phys ically handicapped children, "it's a wonderful thing," commented Miss Rausch, "for it will give those children a real chance. That's what they need most." ni5lls?i mm SECRETARIAL It you start now, you oar. be holding down your owi. Job in 6 to 9 months.
