Reds Defame
U.S. Youth
Says Writer
"American youth have no jobs
at all, and walk the streets in
search of employment."
American communist young
people told this to youth of other
nations at a world youth meet
ing held in Hungary, says Vic
Reinemer, a University of Mon
tana graduate who attended the
conference as a free lance dele
gate. Reinemer Is writer of an
article in the Saturday Evening
Post for Feb. 11, entiiled "How
Our Commies Defame America
Abroad."
In the article he also tells how
America and American life was
distorted at the meeting by the
publishing of pictures of Amer
ican slums and hooded Negro
lynchers.
Reinemer says that "things
were different at the Soviet pa
vilion," adding: "The pictures
there were bright, modern day
nurseries, beautiful school build
ings, hospitals and resorts."
American youth, according to
the communists, are told by Wall
Street to "join Iha army" il
they are out of a job.
A large percentage of the
American delegates were stu
dents. Many were trade union
ists, and others represented
American youth organizations.

Yiews on II-Bomb
Howard Corey and Doris Little,
both etudents at the University,
were interviewed by the "Inquir
ing Photographer" of The Lin
coln Journal.
Corey, when asked if he agreed
that the U. S. should make the
H-bomb, said, "The United States
would be asking for Russia to
get a war started if we didn't
build a hydrogen bomb." Corey
then went on to add that "It
would be fine if Russia only
wanted the bomb for purposes of
peace, but" he concluded, "How
can we trust them when they
have gone back on their word be
fore?" Miss Little agreed that the
H-bomb should be built, anu
suggested "We should make the
bomb and hope that wc never
have to use it for war."

Following the convocation, the
Union will hold an informal
"col lee hour" at which time he
will answer questions of stu
dents and faculty. Nash will also
autograph any of his books that
listeners may own.
Discussion Hour
The discussion period is being
sponsored by the Union house
rules and hospitality committee.
Free col fee will be served.
Wednesday evening Nash will
speak at the University Alumni
club's annual charter day dinner
at the Union. Along with Nash,
Chancellor K. G. Gustavson and
Coach Bill Glassford will speak.
It will be Glasslord's first ap
pearance before the alumni group
since he made his decision to
remain at the University.
Faculty members of the De
partment of English will hold a
luncheon for the writer at 12
noon Wednesday in the Union
parlors. Roy W. Frantz, chair
man of the department, is in
charge of arrangements.
No formal speech is sched
uled by Nash at this time, but
he will hold a question and an
swer period.
New Appointment
Nash was one of 12 recently
elected to the National Institute
of Arts and Letters, an exclusive
group of creative artists whose
works are judged most likely to
achieve a permanent place in
American culture.
The election brings the mem
bership to 241. It is limited to
250.
Other new members are: Percy
Grainger, John Mason Brown,
Oscar Hammerstein, 2nd, -John
Richard Hershcy, Thomas Mann,
William F. Lamb, Oronzio Mal
darelli, Andrew Wyeth and
Robert Penn Warren.
Nash enrolled at Harvard in
the 1920's. but quit the follow
ing year. To this day he claims
that this was his original intent,
and he insists he has affidavits
to verify his statemnt.
If one wants to read about his
adverse ideas on children's books
that aren't really for children,
television, professional optimists,
golf snobs and women who leave
lipstick on glasses, his recent
book, "Versus," gives a detailed
description of them.
On the other hand, the book
contains a list of his likes. These
includes robins, spring, marriage
and dogs.
Middle Ace Inevitable
Since middle age is inevitable,
for anyone who lives long
enough, says the poet, he treats
it with affable resignition. "Let's
Not Climb the Washington
Monument Tonight," contains his
views.
Nash, who maintains that he
has lived through four of Shake
spear's "Seven Ages of Man," is
a native of New York. However,
he insists that 10,000 of the pop
uliis of North Carolina are re
lated to him. Nashville, Tenn.,
was named after one of his an
cestors, he says.
It was by accident that Nash
began writing bad verse deliber
ately. He initiated the idea after
doodling with memo pads in his
office, while working for the
Doubleday Page Publishing com
pany. Besides being a co-author ol
the lyrics of the musical hit, "One
Touch of Venus," his books in
clude "Hard Lines," "I'm a
Stranger Here Myself," "Good
Intentions," "Many Long Years
Ago" and "The Face Is Fami

February Queens
With 17
By Joan Krueger.
Motto for February: A queen
a day; that's the way.
Any king searching for a well
stocked harem, will probably find
his best results on the Univer
sity campus.
Not only will he find o harem,
but every one of the women will
already hold the title of a queen.
On this campus, if you're
afraid to be different, you'd bet
ter get to be a queen of one thing
or other.
If you think you're too shy to
be a campus personality, be a
queen. Join the crowd. Don't be
unusual.
Queens Not Uncommon.
It's gotten to the point now that
in order to be noticed on campus,
you must be unique. And that
eliminates anyone who possesses
a queen's title.
After all, variety is the spice
of life: men get tired of beauty,
queens, beauty, queens and more
beauty, or so they say.
When a visitor walks on the
campus, it's much easier for a
student to point out coeds who
aren't queens than those who are.
After all, he has a better chance
to remember names of a shorter
list.
This month is February.
Haven't quite figured out yet
whether they arc trying to outdo

Agricultural production and

"Most of the farming in Africa

there are going to be a lot of

Tigers Wo
For Tall N U Team
By Jerry Warren.
The University of Nebraska Cornhuskers kept their
home winning streak alive Monday night, when they stalled
past Missouri, 50-41 in a slow-moving game at the Coli
seum.
Action in the tilt dragged
senousiy tnreatened after the ,
first half.
It was the fifth straight con
ference loss for the Tigers. Ne
braska now sports a four win
one loss record, the only defeat
was at the hands of Colorado
at Boulder.
Tied 12 Times
The game was tied 12 times
in the first half but the best the
Tigers could do after intermis
sion was to creep within one
point of the spasmodic Huskers.
With 1:47 remaining in the
game it looked like the finish
would be a near repetition of
last week's tilt with Kansas
State. Coach Harry Good's cag
ers were leading by a meager
three points when Bob Gates,
hero of the K-State thriller, sunk
u driving set-up and collected a
foul in the process. His three
points gave the Huskers a sub
stantial six point margin. Safe
enough in the two-minute period.
Bob "Shorty" Pierce, -who
started a forward in place of
ailing Joe Malacek, sunk a free
throw after a minute and a half
had elapsed for the first scoring
of the game. Missouri's Bill
Stauffer, 6-3 forward, quickly
countered with a charity toss to
keep the Tigers on even terms.
Trade Gift Shots
The two teams traded shots,
mostly gift tosses, and neither
could gain an advantage until
the last minute of the first half
when the Scarlet poured in three
quick points for a 24-21 advan
tage at intermission.
Most of the scoring before the
rest period was by free throws
and fouling was frequent.
Husker Center Milt "Bus"
Whitehead found himself in a
rugged duel with Don Stroot,
6-8 Tiger center, who was ably
assisted by Jerry Fowler.
Pierce again opened the scor
ing in the second half when he
loiiowea a free throw witn a
iiiivc-ui noL. duo iviurrey, n-i

Missouri Closes In.
Good's men were leading 38
30, with 7:43 remaining when
Stauffer, George Lafferty, Tiger
captain, and Bud Heincman, 5
10 Missouri speedster, sank suc
cessive baskets to bring Coach
Sparky Stalcup's Missourians to
within two points of the Corn
huskers. Ken Shockley then
added a free throw to make it
37-39 with four and a half min
utes left.
With only two minutes left,
and the new ruling in effect, the
Huskers had the ball and a 42-39
margin. Gates' three tallies and
Slroot's gift toss brought it to
46-40 and from there it was
never in doubt.
Larry Walsh, Joe Malacek and
Gates tallied on free throws and
Cerv scored on one of his drive
in shots to close out the scoring.
Four Foul Out
Three Missouri men and one
Husker fouled out of the rough
game. Bus Whitehead, who
rarely leaves the game via the
foul route, was the only Nebras
kan to be evicted. Stauffer, Laf
ferty and Dan Witt were the Ti
gers guilty of dive misdemeanors.
Joe Malacek, badly hobbled by
a sore' knee, entered the game
with 1:30 left when Buster fouled
out. Pierce played well at for
ward in Malacek's absence as he
teamed with Bus on rebounds as
well as scoring seven points.
Whitehead topped the game's
scorers with 14 tallies followed
by Stauffer with 12. Gates scored
9 and Cerv 8 to close out the
Huskers' high scorers.
Buck Chews Cotton.
Jim Buchanan, who started at
guard, adopted another of Claude
Retherford's habits last night
when he appeared on the floor
chewing a huge wad of cotton.
"Buck" also wears Claude's old
numbci 13.
The game was enlivened by
three types of fouls: technical,
multiple and the standard double
foul. Tiger Coach Sparky Stal
cup was the victim of the tech
nical when he uttered something
to Official Faye Ferguson's dis
like when the referee was nan

Began Early
Henry Scott, who is to appear
at the Union ballroom Thursday
evening, used a novel method
to attain proficiency in perform
ing classics.
He simply learned from the
best authorities available by lis
tening to phonograph records of
the music assigned to him by
his teacher.
Young Scott didn't tell his
teacher what he was doing be
cause he wasn't sure that it
would meet with approval. His
teacher was continually baffled
by the advanced ideas in shad
ing, warmth and color displayed
by his pupil.
Things went badly, however,
when Scott couldn't find a rec
ord of his next week's lesson.
Then he was only an ordinary
student with ordinary problems.
The whole thing exploded
when Scott started putting things
into the music that weren't writ
ten there. He finally had to ad
mit that he was working from
recordings. Much to his surprise,
this met with the approval of his
instructor, and all went well
from then on.
Scott will play classics as well
as more modern type music when
he performs at 8 p. m. Thurs
day night. Tickets are on sale
in the Union office for $1.20.
