This t . . .
Saturday marks the final Homecoming that the ot
the aus. of 1950 will see as undergraduates. For three years that
Zs watched Ncbr.k. Cornh-Wer.g down , in de tea , m he
University's most coveted gridiron contest. To say me
time Nebraska was winning a Homecoming game.
We're not inferring that the football team go Cut and win or the
Chss of '50 The entire University, freshmen, sophomores, juniors.
Sniors graduate students, faculty and everyone concerned are more
than anxious to see the Huskers defeat Kansas tomorrow.
Saturdays contest will also mark the last Homecoming gam
for a group ol fine Nebraska Cornhuskcrs who have played m th.ee
Sing Homecoming games. They, too, will be more than anx.ous to
bring home a victory for themselves and their school.
Nebraska goes into tomorrow's game a 14-point underdog Kansas
h-is a greatly improved team and has been showing the B.g Sex en
conference that it cannot be taken lightly. Nevertheless, we think
that the 1949 Cornhuskers have what it takes to treat Nebraska fans
to a Homecoming victory. .
Coaches Clifford. De Angelis, Franklin and Davis have done a
greaUob'this yea. They have fielded a team wh.ch can -" with the
best of them. Last week's thriller against Missouri proved that th.y
are capable of playing real football.
Two factors will be involved in winning tomorrow s game-team
spirit and student spirit. It's the same old story, without student spirit,
there is less chance that team spirit will be at its peak. If you vc
never attended a rally before, tonight is the time to attend; if you ve
never yelled at a football game before, Saturday afternoon is the time
to yell; and if you've ever felt that displaying school spirit is so much
imih this weekend is the time to forget that feeling.
Your all-out display of spirit may mean a Homecoming victory
Saturday. It's certainly worth a try.

NOVAK.
This Friday's Man of the Week
has deserved to receive the same
honor every fall weekend since
1946. He. is Tom Novak, Ne
braska's captain and rugged can
didate for All-America honors at
center.
Tom is undoubtedly the Univer
sity's most famous athlete. More
than any other player, he exem
plies the best in spirit and ability
on the gridiron. Had he been
playing on a better team during
the last couple of years, he prob
ably would have been All-America.
As it is, the received con
siderable support for that honor
after his sophomore and junior
campaigns. He has been named
to the All-Dig Seven (or Big Six)
team three years in a row, and
should be a shoo-in this year.
Another player ol Tom's
capabilities might have given up
or slowed down playing for Ne
braska's below-par teams since
1946. Not so with Novak. In this
his senior year, he is tsill in there
giving his best for an improving
team. The Cornhuskers will not
be nationally prominent this year,
but that is no fault of Tom No
vak. The Daily Nebraskan salutes a
great player and a great Nebraskan.

" Vrrnr rnnsirleration of
the thousands of needy students
of Pakistan is admirable. It is
very noble of the students of
your college. Pakistan's estab
lishment is an event in the his
tory of nations. It is a story of
how a nation of a hundred mil
lion people struggled on two
fronts that of our friends Hin
dustani! the British. But Truth
has power in it. It can fight the
greatest of atom bombs. It is hu
man. It is loving and it sur
vives. The people of Pakistan
had the truth within them and
only on that account could they
establish the biggest Moslem
country of the world the truth
which is spoken in these words.
"We are a nation whose culture
has much to contribute to peace
and harmony of the world" . . .
. . . Our pride lies in our belief
in the equality of human origin.
We have our own way of life
and no communism can replace
that. Our past has always been
a treat example of democracy . . .
. . The bearers of such ideas
have improved their conditions.
Yet a tremendous task lies ahead.
It is in the sphere of education, in
the University sphere. Seven mil
lion people migra'ed from India

starved and misery-stricken. The
story of their sufferings is a ter
rific nightmare beyond the
thoughts of anyone of you living
in America. Unfortunately the
world believes whatever is said by
a country which has a radio trans
mitter of great power ana moie
access to the press. ....
.... But it is the duty of those
who believe in truth and in de
mocracy to help those who estab
lished themselves because of
truth, and have democracy as the
essence of their way of life . . . .
.... In this drama of human
misery, the condition of the stu
dent is much worse. His illusion
about man and his humanity
tumbled down when he saw what
man could do to man. Yet he got
up and lived to work for a bettor
orld. Thousands of students died
of starvation while' journeying
from India to Pakistan. You could
see thousands on pavements and
in the streets. Winter, disease,
starvation, attacks from Hindus
and floods everyone of these
had its toll on human life, includ
ing that of the students. We were
setting up a new capitol with
even no per. . paper or pencils in
our offices. U was a unique start

To the Student Body: ' .
Tonight marks a memorable occasion in the life of the University
. . .u r th Mueller Carillon tower. This tower, reprc-
Willi UlC ucuivaiivn v . i i
senting a gift of nearly $90,000 by Mr. Ralph Mueller, was designed
by Mr. George Kuska, jr., when he was an unuciB.
University Mr. A. L. Bigelow from Princeton university, the most
notable ca'rilloneur on this continent, will play the bells during the
ceremony. Mr. Mueller and his family. Chancellor Gustavson, Chan
cellor Deane W. Mallotte from Kansas universuy, rri -the
Foundation, the Alumni association and others will be on hand to
make this ceremony a beautiful and memorable occas.on. The tower
will be illuminated and decorated in keeping with the spirit of Home
coming. ..
The student organizations in charge of Homecoming events have
planned their activities so that every student will have an opportunity
to attend the dedicatory ceremony. The rally has been scheduled to
follow the dedication. No organized house displays will be in operation
between 6:30 and 7:45 p. m.
The committee in charge of the tower dedication is very anxious
that all students attend since they are the ones who should receive
the greatest enjoyment from it. The Innocents Society and Mortar
Boards, therefore, on behalf of the Dedication committee, urge every
student to attend the ceremonies.
There is no setter way for students to show their appreciation to
a Univereity alumnus for his generous contribution toward the en
richment of college life on this campus.

uitees is not an ordinary one.
While the government is busy in
over-all projects for the people, It
is mainly the students in compar
atively eood condition who come
to help in an hour of dire need
of those students who, like every
one of us. have a wish to study
but don't have the means to do
so
. . . Let me end my thoughts
with one story of a student. He
lived in a house on the hilly
ranges of northwest Pakistan, He
had a yearning for knowledge but
his parents, in the twilight of their
age life, could not afford to edu
cate him. But this young man had
too intense a desire for learning
to be suppressed by adverse cir
cumstances. One morning he left
his home with a determination to
reach the city which was the seat
of the university. It was more
thr.n two hundred miles away. He
walked and walked, yet miles ic
maincd to be covered. Days
passed but he remained deter
mined. His feet got wounded in
his broken shoes, yet he went on
til he reached that citj called
Lahore
In short, he questioned many
people and one of them helped
him in ioin the colleee. One eve
ning: this youne man was seen on
the railway station picking up
luggage to earn twenty cents. He
was asked by the person who
saw him. "What arc you doing
here?" '"I am working to cam
twenty cents to have some food
because I did not have anything
for two days and now I can't
even pick up the lupgage. The
hope of making twenty cents' is
waning. I hate to beg. I shall not
beg. Therefore 1 did not tell my
college fellows and came here to
try my luck,' 'was the reply of
the knowled?e-sceker
. . My best wishes to you nnd
your college students who love
humanity because they are so hu
mane.
Sincerely.
NASEEM BEG.
