Rationalizations aic made to justify them, but in the final analysis, they don t hold water. . For instance, the pledge who is trying to participate in athletics and maintain his grades absolutely cannot per form well after spending several days going thru nel week." As a result, he looks bad in practice and in the eyes of the coaches. Certainly fraternities do not want this to happen. . . And the pledge who is trying to keep up in his schoo' work, a big enough job in itself, also runs into difficulties We recently watched a pledge in class who was goinp through "hell week." His eyes resembled burnt holes, and he obviously was not enough awake to know what was going on. No doubt his studies were suffering, too. "Hell week" may be fun for actives and a few pledges but is a form of fun which seems a little immature for college men. Fraternities are under fire all over the coun try for various reasons. "Hell weeks" undoubtedly help fan the flames.

Although member nation will sit in on tne commiucu wun. uan. this particular issue, all house representatives will be con cerned with the police force problem when it is discussed in plenary sessions. Therefore, it is -vital that all delegates hear the airing of this issue. Less than two weeks remain Jn which they can give this question a thorough study. The success of the entire conference depends upon how well versed the delegates are on the questions which will make up the business of the assembly. All of us became acquainted with the World Student Service fund when AUF asked to contribute to the organ ization. Now WSSF is offering us something for our money. It has made a European tour available to students at special, reduced rates. The WSSF itinerary includes Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzer land. Those wishing to concentrate their study may limit their travels to only one of these countries. Students might well take time out to examine this WSSF opportun ity. We have long held the N-Club and its members in highest esteem. They are members of the student body who have earned the respect and admiration of their fel low students and of the citizens of Nebraska. And they are the first to advocate good sportsmanship in all phases of life. However, one feels a bit disillusioned after sitting near an N-Club member at a basketball game who acts as if he never heard of sportsmanship. We had this experience during the Oklahoma game. The particular lettcrman in question sat two rows behind the Sooner coach and passed out insults and remarks of which no one would be proud. In addition, he continually "rode" the Oklahoma playcn and the referees on the floor. It only takes one such per eon to cast an unfavorable light on a respected organzation like the N-Club. For 60 years Nebraskans have had the opportunity to ad the Nebraska Art association's annual exhibit.

Do you by any chance have as many as 40 extras of the Feb. 28 issue of the Daily Nebraskan which I could get in order to use it with my class in chemistry? If you could have run several hundred reprints of that Purdue scale, with the proposal that faculty folks who cared to use them were welcome, there might have been more than mere talk to your editorials for improvement of campus instruction. Some of us faculty folks have a rather hazy notion of how we appear from the other side of our lecture table. Union Advancement Group Tells Progress on Work their jmtiai meeting Feb. 11. the 20 tion of the possibility for an ad dition to the Union building. According to co-chairmen Sue Allen and Fritz Simpson, over JO Unions of other schools in the nation have returned infor mation regarding their own present conditions. This inf mat on wil be used to comp; Univei.sitv,s Union for- compare ith oth ers. The comniittpp whose purpose it is to undertake a program ol orientation to inform University students of the Union's present and future needs, decided that a Union addition definitely would be beneficii 1. First Action The first action toward an in vestigation was promulgated with a Daily Nebraskan report er's inquiry as to when the Union addition would be built as provided in the University's ten-year building program. The answer to this question was that a Union addition will not be in cluded in the program unless the students want it. Following this action, Student Council President Roz Howard was contacted. Rag editors Cub Clem and Fritz Simpson, and Howard then discussed the mat ter with Duane Luke, Union di rector. Lake was asked to meet then with a student committee which Dance Group To Appear March 21 Martha Graha.111, acclaimed by critics as the "greatest celebrity of the dance world," will bring m"i cunijii,y ui 11 her company of dancers to the r Martha Graham Miss Graham is on a limited tour of the nation prior to her ( opening in New York season. Four dance pieces will high light the performance, includ- f ing tine ol the solos which has won for Miss Graham the title of "mistress of the solo dance." Other workers will be staged by the entire dance troupe, and will include at least one of the dance dramas. One work not yet seen on Broadway will prob ably be included in the how. Not Continental ' Miss Graham's dance company does not follow the line of con tinental ballet with premiere dancers and hallannas. It is made up entirely of young mod ern dancers, each of whom has attained recognition in his own right.

Members of that group are Merle Stalder, Paul : Weltchek, Mary Ellen Schroe der, Hattie Mann, Jack DeWulf, Sue Allen, Walter Willi, Bob Reynolds, Blake Cathro, Harry 1 Kimbriel, Gene Johnson, Roz Howard, Cub Clem and Fritz Simpson. Present Facilities At that time, Lake presented ' information concerning present J Union finances, recreational fa cilities and needs. Since then the committee has grown to include six more mem bers in order that action might be facilitated. Those students are Betty Carroll, Ruth Soren sen, Fred Chael, Herb Reese, Don Fisher and Norma Chub buck. j Needs presently recognized by the committee as most notice able would involve raising the Union fee of $3 a semester which is included in each student's tui tion payment. This present amount was lound to be lower than fees of at least 20 other major colleges and universities More investigation showed that Nebraska's Union does not have as complete a recreational program as do other schools be cause of the lack of adequate facilities. Another pressing need, accord ing to the committee, is more available space tor organiza tions. Each year the Union re ceives requests from organiza tions for allowance of separate rooms. These requests cannot be filled at the present. I Complete Information In following editions, The Daily Nebraskan will publish a series of articles providing com plete information which has been obtained by the Advance ment committee. This will in clude comparisons of Nebraska's Union with other Unions throughout the country. After publication of all the facts, a poll will bo devised by the committee so that -Ihe larg est number of students may be reached. The result of that poll will determine whether or not a Union addition will be constructed. Alcohol Subjects . . J I vis iff Lollcfrialc Writing Contest How can social leaders com bat the influence of alcohol on American college campuses? The Intercollegiate Association for study of the alcohol prob lem would like student opinion on that question. They are spon soring an editorial contest with 13 cash pi ies for the best an swers to the question. "Social pressure against alco hol," is the topic on which Amer ican college students are urged to write. First prize is $200 with two prizes of $50 and ten $20 prizes.

Mercy Killing Illegal Believe NU Students Mercy killings should not be condoned, according to the ma jority of students polled by a Daily Nebraskan reporter Mon day. Only forty-three percent ol the students questioned would approve of the action. A recent court case involving the legality of mercy killings -has brought about much comment, esperially on the Nebraska cam- pus. To determine the beliefs of students, the following question was asked: "What do vou think of mercy killings Hopelessly III The legal incident involved a doctor who is charged with the j killing of a patient. The doctor I claims that the patient was ! hopelessly ill with cancer. Of those polled, fortv-three percent believe that if a person was hopelessly ill, mercy killing should be approved. A sample comment was "if it's a hopeless case, I don't sec why a person should prolong the iilness." The majority view favored not permitting the use of this type Killing, commented one person, "If God wants you to suffer, then you should. But if 1 he didn't want you to, then you i wouldn't." "It's taking a life," I tcrnved another. Among the questions asked bv the persons polled was the prob lem of how such a plan could be put into effective use.

"On the other hand," claims ' another, "a person might be killed one day and the cure found the next. Medical ad vances are coming about very fast in these days.

"But if he is considered a hu man being, then death will come eventually. Why should we hasten it? After all, life is full of suffering." Another reason suggested for continued life was the idea that these people might be used to continue medical experiments. Subjects of this type could be used as "human guinea-pigs." Although they might die in the process, a cure for that exact sickness might be evolved out or the experiment. Many 01 tnnse ponea inougni that mercy killing as a plan was good essentially but that it could never be put into effect.
