'Understand Asia'
Broek Advises
The countries of Southeastern
Asia may become powerful allies
of the United States and other
democracies if we play our po
litical cards correctly. Dr. Jan O.
M. Brock told a University stu
dent convocation Tuesday morn
ing. The western nations should
understand, Dr. Brock said, the
following problems facing the
people of these far eastern coun
tries. Sums Up Problems
1. The democracies of these
countries may be somewhat dif
ferent in form than our own. We
should recognize that the strong
nationalist feelings of these peo
ple tend toward socialism, but
n o t necessarily communism.
They could not have u democracy
with free sufferage such as ours,
because the people there are to
a large extent illiterate.
2. America should avoid in
sisting on a military alliance be
tween these nations as a buffer
against the growing communist
tide in Asia. The people there
want help in an economic way,
not political control by other na
tions. 3. America should aid these
countries by sending trained
technicians to train the people
and to help alleviate the misery
and ignorance of the mass of
people. Capital goods and techni
cians should be sent rather than
money because the money would
be like water poured down a rat
hole. The people wouldn't know
what to do with it.
Economte Standard
In order to obtain a better eco
nomic standard in southeast Asia,
greater production is necessary.
The people of these countries
need help in their struggle for
greater productivity, said the
speaker.
Dr. Broek said that if the
Western nations did not help
these countries, the communists
would probably rush in to take
advantage of the situation. It is
usually in situations of unrest
and chaos, he said, that the com
munists take over.
Helping southeast Asia would
probably be beneficial to the
United States in the long run, he
gaid. Many of the Marshall Plan
countries rely on these countries
for muci; of their trade. If we
helped southeast Asia, he said,
we would probably be lessening
the need for a Marshall Plan.
"Southeastern Asia is now at
the crossroads," Dr. Broek said.
"We can do much to influence
their choice between communism
and democracy. Just as the or
iginal 13 American colonies
Sellin to Speak
At Ag Convo
Students who attend the Ag
convocation Thursday noon will
hear Duane Sellin, Ag junior, tell
of his recent trip to Finland.
Facilities in the Ag Union
lounge will be arranged in such
a manner that camera enthusi
ast Sellin can show movies of his
trip.
Head of the Ag convocations
committee, Jack Wilson, an
nounced that classes will not be
dismissed but that most instruc
tors will excuse students who
wish to attend The convocation
will be from 12:45 to 1:45 p. m.
Spending the greater part of
his trip living on Finnish farms
and working with the Finnish
people, Sellin believes that Amer
icans would do well if they took
time to study sonic of the Fin
nish agricultural practices.
Sellin recently returned to the
U, S. after spending six months
In Europe. He was one of a
group of 31 young Americans
who went abroad last June un
der the International Farm
Youth Exchange program. His
trip was 5ponsored by T'athan
Gold, Lincoln businessman.
Grades Out Soon
Reports Kosenlof
Dr. G. W. Roscnlof, registrar,
naid "all of last semester's grades
will be out in ten days."
The tardy grade reports from
some of the departments have
delayed the official publication
of the student's grades in the
entire University.
Builders to Celebrate Birthday
At All-Member Meeting Tonight
"Happy Birthday" will be
the theme of the mass meeting
of Nebraska Builders Wednes
day. In celebration of the eighth

ganization, a mass meeting of all
officers and workers will be
held Wednesday at 7:15 p. m.
in parlors ABC, Union.
A history and the purpose of
Builders will be given in three
parts. Genene Mitchell will re
view the past events of the

rector, will discuss the found
ing of Builders; and Jayne
Wade, a worker, will present her
impressions of the organization.
New Officers

officers will be introduced at the
meeting: Gene Berg, president;
Nancy Porter, vice president in
charge of publications; Phyllis
Campbell, vice president in
charge of the general cabinet;
Sally Holmes, secretary; and
Leon Pfeiffer, treasurer.
The 12 Calendar girls will also
be presented to the group. They
looked with suspicion on foreign
military alliances, so do these
new small nations. We can win
their friendship in the long run
by helping them conquer their
worst enemies ignorance and
fear."
Dr. Brock, a native of Holland,
has taught at the University of
California and Geografisch Insti
tute in Utrecht, Holland. He is at

department at the University of
Minnesota. He has written a
number of articles on far eastern

asf of February
The last of the February
queens!
She's Janet Carr, who holds the
title of 1950 Typical Nebraska
Coed. The 5 foot 4 inch brunette
I found out last Thursday that she
was the winner when coca rouies
chairman, Ginnic Guhin called.
No one except her mother
knew until she was revealed at
the show Monday night. Even the
19 finalists had no idea that Janet
was the winner until after the
Utylc show when she came onto
the stage.
''Shocked Speechless'
Questioned about her reactions,
the TNC said: "I was shocked
speechless."
In order to keep her secret,
Janet carried her formal back
stage during one 'of the skits un
der some other costumes she was
carrying. Depositing it under
some coats, she made the quick
change after leaving the stage
following her modeling.
The new queen modeled a
sports outfit of shorts and blouse
and carried a tennis racket in
the fashion show.
When asked Monday if she
knew who was the winner, she
simply replied that she had no
idea.
Her red velvet formal with
white eyelets around the top was
the one she wore to the Military
ball in December.
She was presented with a dozen
red roses before being revealed
as the Typical Nebraska Coed.

seniors of the class of 1950.

their assignments in half the

too.
A Psychology course, it is of-

testing and training for better
reading habits. These include
films and a device which photo

Under the surveillance of the
testing experts, each student's de
fects are pointed "lit to him, en

The most common fault the
