Local Red Cross Chapter
Names NU Coed to Board
For the first time in the chap
ter's history, a University coed
has been named to the board of
directors of the Lancaster County
chapter of the American Red
Cross.
The student board member is
Audrey Roscnbaum, present Red
Cross college unit president.
Commenting on Miss Rosen
baum's appointment, Harold Hill,
chapter director, pointed out that

Exam Probe
Planned by
Council
The Student Council Wednes
day night took action to investi
gate the problem of final exams.
A committee of five was ap
pointed to work with the faculty
on this problem. They are: Roz
Howard, Bob Raun, Rod Lind
wall. Bob Parker, and Shirley
Allen.
Amid general applause. Bob
Raun made this statement: "I
don't think final exams are worth
two cents. The two weeks spent
taking finals could well be spent
in learning. Three sets of six
weeks exams would provide
much more education. I think
that the progressive instructors
in this institution will agree with
me that finals are wasted time."
Fred Chad made a brief state
ment on the problem, "I hate the
damn things."
Several suggestions were made
In regard to the problem, among
them the possibility of having an
open file of past finals in the
library, using the honor system
such as is used in many examin
ations in law college. These sug
gestions will be referred to the
committee.
An editorial in Tuesday's Daily
Nebraskan was the inspiration
for a pointed comment by Rod
Lindwall. He stated that appar
ently no member of the staff of
the Nebraskan had ever cheated.
The editorial referred to students
who cheated as "daring robbers."
It was pointed out that the
cheating situation was alarming
and that the situation does not
exist at other universities.

face at the Union.

It was announced that a total
of 68 volumes are missing, in
cluding biographies, plays, poe

Model Assembly
Delegates lo Meet
Fritz Kieschke. Nebraska stu
dent from Germany, will discuss
the question of trusteeship for
south est Africa at the meet
ing of model general assembly
delegates tonight
The meeting will be held at
:30 p. m in Room 313 of the
Union. The question of South
Africa, formerly under German
control, is one of the issues which
will come up before the mock
United Nations conference next
March.
Delegates attending the meet-
inK will also elect the chairmen
. l!ld v.lce chairrnen of foui
committees which will be work-
ing at the conference. The com-
mittees are: political and secur-
1 ity: economic and financial: so -
cial, humanitarian and cultural
and trusteeship.
UN Issue
The South West African is
sue. Kieschke's topic, will be
under the consideration of the
trusteeship committee when
the assembly meets. It is a real
issue before the U. N. South
West Africa formerly was a man
date of the Union of South Africa
under the League of Nations.
When the U. N. was established
the Union of South Africa re
fused to make it a trust area.
Some of the problems which
will be discussed at the model
conference will be: (1) Is there
any reason why the Union of
South Africa should annex South
West Africa security, economic
need or any other? (2) Is the
Union of South Africa acting
legally in reiusing to make South
West Africa a trust area? (3) Is
I the Union of Smith Africa h.-jrm-
, ,11R the trusteeship system by its
j ;.t-tio:iv (-4) if the Union of South
Africa has special interests in
South West Africa could thev be
protected as well by trusteeship

"It

"for someone to do otherwise

Using the Hydrogen Bomb
would be no different than using
an ordinary TNT bomb, was the
opinion expressed by Walter
Militizer. professor of chemistry.
The ethics involved is one of
killing people, he said, and both
bombs kill people to a different
degree.
Militzer said he doubted that
the Russians have the bomb now,
but that it was probable that
they would have it before too
long.

of coaching candidates now un

"I have done this for these rea
sons: 1) I like Nebraska and Ne
braskans. 2) When I came here
1 said I wanted to stay a long
time. This I hope to do.
3) "I feel I am obligated to th
people of Nebraska and the men
on my st;V, the Cornhusker
players and students to continue
the building program I started
here last spring."
Several hundred students, led by
cheerleaders and a band, demon
strated their support Wednesday
afternoon of Coach Bill Glass
ford and gave proof of their de
sire for him to continue coach
ing at the University.
Charging its way through the
campus and halls, the noisy and
enthusiastic throng paraded up
to the steps of the Coliseum de
manding, "We want Glassford."
Answering the cheering crowd,
Glassford said, "I can sincerely
-say that I haven't made up my
mind as yet; but which ever way
I decide, this demonstration tells
me how the students feel."
"This came as a complete sur-
i P'"se to me," claimed the coach,
i wno was in the Coliseum when
j the Parade arrived. "It is all so
sudden," he told them.
Student Relations
Concluding, he said, "All mv
relations with students here have
been very pleasant and I am
very happy to see this crowd and
appreciate your support."
Frank Piccolo, yell king, com
menting on the rally, said that
he hoped it did some good. "The
cooperation of the students was
terrific," he said.
"Nebraska has long needed a
display of this kind." continued
Piccolo, and he stated that he
was glad to see it.
Glassford returned Tuesday
night from Chicago where he
met Tom Hamilton, athletic di
rector of the Universitv of Pitts
burgh to talk about " the head
football coaching job at Pitts
burgh. Glassford is now under a one
year contract to Nebraska.
Potsy Comments
"I was tickled to death," said
George "Potsy" Clark when
asked about Glassford's decision
to stay at Nebraska. "Of course."
I was optimistic all the tire,
Potsy continued, "but couldn't
say anything until Bill made up
his mind."
Clark was pleased with the
fine demonstration Wednesday
afternoon and said it proved
"from the Chancellor down to
the people of Nebraska that they
are proud of Bill and the fine
work he is doing."
He also said we will go on
with our present plan of action
started by Glassford last spring.
