Communism Transcends
Mere Political Party Ties
. . . Says A. T. Anderson
(ipAWMViiinicm c rnt cimnlv B
political party, it is a iheory of
history, a way of life and a faith,"
Albin T. Anderson, University
history professor, said Wednesday
night. "
Anderson addressed the first in
a series of five public lecture au
diences on the general subject of
Communism and what it means
to America.
Tracing the historial develop
ment of Communism, Anderson
said that it is the product of the
thinking and writing of two men,
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
These founded what they call
''scientific socialism." In modern
times, Lenin, the Russian revolu
tionist, became not only Marx
ism's most active propagandist,
but also the first Marxist to
achieve political power in a state.
ACCORDING TO Anderson,
there are three basic ideas which
communists believe, and which all
Americans should understand if
we are to oppose it successfully.
"Communism can be character
ized as a theory of history. Com
munists believe that each major
epoch of human history is never
static. Each epoch carries within
its womb a struggle between that
which is and that which is to be.

Palladians Elect
Boylston Prexy
New president of Palladians is
Mary Boylston. She was elected
by the society Monday evening.
Other newly elected officers are
George Mehuron, vice-president;
Bob Roscnquist, critic; John Davis,
program chairman; Jere Merritt,
recording secretary; and Norma
Spomer, corresponding secretary.
Thirteen new Palladians will be

nis Mitchem, George Corey, Ar
nold Allen, Marilyn Olson, Marilyn
Myers, Wendell Johnson, Madge
Matthews, Marcia Burkland and
Phyllis Morehead.
Basically, the struggle is that of
classes.
"THESE CLASSES in turn are
arrayed against each other in
terror of .their relationship to the
means of production. In a capital
istic society, it is that of the
means of production against those
without property. The latter must
eventually triumph. They will
outweigh, outvote or simply over
throw the smaller classes.
"Communism is also material
istic. All life, all thought, all cul
ture is rooted in the material. All
religion, says the Marxist, is a
great hoax.
"MARXISTS WOULD also in
sist that the state is simply an
organ of class domination. By pos
sessions of the law, police and
military, it served the few in
their possession of private prop
erty. That is why the state would
probably be thrown over by force.
No such instrument of force would
be needed in a classless society."
Anderson's speech is the first in
a series of five articles on Com
munism and what it means to
America. These lectures seek to
define what we mean by com
munism and why communism is
alien to American way of life

Filings to Open Next Week;
Present Election Rules Stand
Council elections will be
next week. This was the decision of the Student Council
in a two-hour meeting Wednesday.
The motion made by Jack
prolonged debate on constitutional provisions regulating
election rules. The by-laws or
that an election must be held
The Council discussed and
finally overruled the possibility
of changing the rules to delay
the election until May.
Bev Sievers asked if the spring
elections were conducted along
party lines and the faculty was
to vote down the two party con
stitutions would the election be
invalid.
President Ball replied that such
an event would probably entail
only a loss of seating by the
parties and representatives in
volved. TWO PRO
POSALS to
change election
publicity rules
were voted
down. The first
proposal would
have given each
party $25. Since
both measures
were vetoed the ,
election will be
conduct e d ac
cording to the I
rules printed in Schleusener
the Sunday's Daily Nebraskan.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL as
sembly, proposed in Wednesday's
Daily Nebraska, was explained to
the Council by editor Norm Leger.
Leger stated that the proposed
assembly would offer an oppor
tunity for "true representation of
all students interested in student
government." The proposal, he
said, would remove the burden of
decision from the shoulders of
the Council. However the Coun
cil would supervise the assem
bly, he continued.
The plan was tabled for next
Wednesday's meeting.
DICK SCHLEUSENER, judi
ciary committee chairman, re
ported on the meeting between
the sub-committee of the faculty
senate committee on student or
ganizations and social functions
and the Council judiciary com
mittee. He said that the faculty
committee was not empowered to
make any concrete decisions, but
that two courses seemed to be
clear. The courses were to pursue
the present political party pro
gram or to turn the decision on
representation over to some body
other than the Council, Schleus
ener said.
Schleusener also reported the
judiciary committee ruling on the
action of the constitutions com
mittee in dealing with the con
stitution of the University party.
The constitutions committee had
been charged with failing to con
sult all committee members be
fore presenting the University
party constitution to the Council.
THE JUDICIARY committees
recommended a four point pro
gram to be used in future con
stitutional consideration. The
points were (1) that the chairman
of the constitution committee not
ify all members, (2) that the com
mittee draw up an outline by
which constitutions shall be con
sidered, (3) that the number of
votes for and against the consti
tution be presented when the
committee reports to the Council
(4) that a faculty advisor be pre
sent when the constitutions com
mittee is making its consideration.
The proposal was adopted.

Ag Extension
Will Receive

Part of Budget
Inflation is one of the factors
j on which the University has based
its request for a 20 per cent in
crease in its operating budget.
One hundred and ninety thou
sand dollars of the proposed in
crease will go to the University
Agricultural Extension service.
Since federal funds have not pro
vided for the increased cost of
living, salary raises must come
from state funds.
Nebraska's Extension supervis
ors have an average salary of
$4,300 compared with an average
of $4,628 at ten other universities,
Colorado State, Kansas State,
Idaho, Montana State, North Da
kota State, Oregon State, South
