The pin has been flitting back and forth since last year but Lorna wore it only during vaca tions to make sure it would "wear veil." The freshmen do it. the sopho mores do it and even' the faculty is getting entangled. Latest one seems to be the marriage of Mis ............ vi me ijllKHMl UfJai l- ment and Mr. Natanson of the Philosophy department. The event took place during final week. To conclude the romance sec tion we'll mention the new one brewing in the bacti department between Eileen Hepperly and Chuck Arbke. It's amazing what a common interest in fungi will do. Come second semester and cam pus queens run rampant. Already people are plugging their Jr.-Sr. Prom Queen candidates. And speaking of plugs Tex Beneke's orchestra hardly needs one, but he seems to be one of the most colorful bands in the country. Whenever the Beneke band ap pears at a show or dance, Glenn Miller's trombone is on hand, oiled and shined. The horn is never displayed on the stand, but is kept in perfect condition as a tribute.

FROTEST FROM the Western World accompanied the sentence by the peoples' court of communist-dominated Hungary of life imprisonment for Joseph Cardinal Midszenty, prince of the Roman Catholic church. He was charged with attempting overthrow the government in Hungary late last year. He also pleaded guilty to espionage and black marketing charges, though many think he was forced to plead thus. Most of the world had litue hope of the Cardinal's appeal to the Supreme Court of Hungary. ttAKS Vt DKlr H.Nti snow were somewhat quieted Tuesday as temperatures rose, melting snow m a small degree thruout the state. Since snow that has started to melt does not drift as readily as "dry" snow, the im mediate threat of more blocked roads and isolated farms was not too great. THE LOWER house almost overwhemingly passed President Truman's request for the reor ganization of the government. This streamlining of the execu tive would eliminate the manv agencies now in existence. Ex President Hoover indorsed the plan and its fate now rests with the senate. A TLEA BY Secretary of State Acheson for more American aid to Europe in the form of the almighty American dollar was offered to congress Tuesdav. Believing that relief in the past has helped the countries of Europe get back on their feci. Acheson said the help in the future "would block any advance of totalitarianism on the con tinent of Europe." APPROXIMATELY 5.8 billion dollars for the ERP was asked by Economic Cooperation Ad ministrator Paul Hoffman who also appeared with Acheson be fore the Senate foreign relations committee, while this amount included many of the "free" countries of Europe, there were . .... i n'n'iu tjk Liiuuaiiitrti 'China and Korea. Chalk One Up for K Klub . . . During the past week we have praised both tho UNESCO project and the AUF for conducting activities which are specially beneficial in preparing students for their role as full-fledged citizens. Today we would like to offer commendation to another organization for eon- ducting a worthwhile activity which will benefit the Uni versity and students alike. The Kosmet Klub, men's dramatic honorary, has oU fered a gift of $1,000 to be Used in the purchase of books. Each college has been allotted $100 dollars, and thus the money has been apportioned equaly to the ten divisions of the University. Students too quick to accuse organizations of using their funds for selfish ends should consider the Kosmet Klub gift as an indication that students in activity groups can realize the needs of the University and, when financially able to do so, will help fulfill those needs. Dear Editor, There is a great possibility that many University students ar unaware that a bill concerning fair employment practices is com ing up for hearing before the Labor committee of the state legis lature on Feb. 14. Perhaps many of us realize that racial and religious discriminations concerning employment do exist but feel that there is nothing we can do. This may be the opportunity we have been waiting for. The fair employment practices commission does not propose to force any employee to hire any pei-sons who are unfit for a posi tion; only that the selection or refusal not be made on the basis of race or religion. In other states the history of F.E.P.C. has been one of success and progress. New York, Indiana and Illinois have reported effective and favorable results. In his Civil Rights program, the President has encouraged every stote to adopt F.E.P.C. The worthiness of F.E.P.C. is .undeniable. Certainly it is a chance for democratic government to fulfill its obligations to all of its citi7ens by alleviating a serious economic injustice. Undoubtedly, F.E.P.C. would be a powerful weapon in discouraging overt acts of prejudice against any members of our society. Letters and resolutions to our representatives would indicate our interest in and support of this bill. As individuals and as ornaniVa- tions we have a chance to help make fair employment practices a reality in Nebraska. joan Eokvall. Our Fortv-foiirth Year! - OHh (Editorial Note) The Fair Employment Practices commission calls for "the em ployment of all persons in accordance with their fullest capacities, regardless of their race, color, religion, rational origin or ancestry, and to safeguard their right to obtain and hold employment with out such discrimination." F.E.P.C. comes before the Labor committee in the legislature on Feb. 14. It has been adopted in Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, New York and Wisconsin. President Truman in his Ciil Rights bill has asked for legis lation of the bill in every state. Such regulations are already in effect in all military establishments, in collective bargaining " and Civil Service. student action on the bill has so social Action committee, the YMCA committee. far and been evidenced in the the YWCA Personnel 'But, HERMAN, this is only our twenty-fourth datel YOU'LL make an impression on your FIRST DATE Mith HER if you wear a NATTONAIJ,Y ADVERTISED GABARDINE SLIT Reg. $60 HOW 53.00 Another SIMON'S first!!
