Disappointment because of the :
small number attending was the i
general opinion of members of
the student-faculty panel discus
sion ori the faults of the present
examination system at the Uni
versity held Tuesday evening.
Both faculty members and stu
dent participants believe the stu
dents are either not enough in
terested in the problem, or do
not think it pressing enough to
take time to discuss it.
Roz Howard, Student Council
president, pointed out, "Evi
dently, from the meager attend
ance at the discussion, students
are satisfied with the status quo."
Cheating Worse
"The status quo to me," con
tinued Howard, "means an over
abundance of cheating. To my
observation, and it is not all per
sonal, the trend for rheating is
not getting better; it is still on
its way down. The status quo
does not sufficiently discourage
students from cheating."
Howard expressed belief that
"perhaps the Student Council
docs not represent the students
on this problem maybe they are
in favor of the status quo."

Slace Explains
Values in Human Nature
"Our democratic values, I be- I
licv0- are applicable to all human
1)oms cause they are expres
siun.; of the essential rational
nature of man."
Dr. W. T. Stace, professor of
philosophy at Dartmouth, said
before a crowd in Love library
Wednesday evening, March 23.
The title of his lecture, "Demo
cratic Values," was the second
in a series of three the professor
is to give concerning "What
Are Our Values."
The basic values underlying
democracy will survive as long
as man continues to populate the
earth, the professor said.
"The values of democracy are
freedom, equality and individual
ism," the lecturer said. "This
does not mean, however, that
every nation or culture thinks
them valuable, "he continued.
It does not mean that non-
democratic nations or cultures i
would find democracy satisfac- I
lory immediately after they
adopted our values, he said. j
The Montgomery lecturer de
clared that "it means only that
if the right conditions are pres
ent if for example their natural
resources or literacy were suf
ficiently developed all peoples
would in the end find that
democracy expresses their own

tional Work and Bridle club.

Answers Questions
Professor Stace tried to an
swer the question "Are demo
cratic values good for all human
beings or are they good for a
particular culture such as we
have here in America?" and "Do
we have a right to go around
the world trying to convert other
peoples to a democratic way of
life?"
The Montgomery lecturers are

Six Students
Indicted in
Assault Case
All Suspended
From University
The six university students
who were charged Wednesday in
municipal court with assault
with intent to commit rape will
be "indefinitely suspended," ac
cording to T. J. Thompson, dean
of student affairs.
"There is a possibility of more
drastic action," said Dean
Thompson, "depending on the
circumstances that are involved."
Those accused of seizing and
molesting two girls are James E.
Beal, David M. Darlington, Ed
ward E. Angle, Alan J. Bayley,
Don L. Eicher and Robert W.
Fulk. Two of them, Beal and
taking part in affairs on both
Friday and Saturday nights and
are charged on two counts. All
six Dleaded not guilty. Prelimi
nary hearings for the group will
be held on March 31 at 10 a. m.
Release on Bond
All of the students have been
released on bond, $7,500 each
for the two admitting participa
tion both evenings and $5,000
each for the others. They were
represented by Attorneys Lyle
Holland, L. R. Doyle, Carl San
den and Robert Van Pelt.
It is charged that the two
girls, one from Teachers college
high school and the other from
Northeast, were forced into cars,
taken to the Angle home and
molested. According to a doctor's
report, neither of the girls was
raped, but the one who was
taken Saturday night was
"sexually abused."
Darlington, Beal, Eicher and
Fulk signed statements admit
ting that they had been involved
Friday night, and Bayley, Angle,
Darlington and Beal Saturday
night.
Knew Nothins
Angle and Fulk did not admit
making advances. The former re
portedly knew nothing of the
affair Friday night, although it
happened in his home, until he
arrived late and found the other
members of the group already
there. He allegedly ordered them
to leave. According to County
Attorney Frederick H. Wagener,
however, statements showed that
Angle did participate to some
extent on Saturday night.
Under Nebraska law, all of a
group such as this can be liable
as principals, even though some
participate to a lesser extent
than others. The offense carries
a penalty of 2 to 15 years in the
penitentiary. In this case, the
age of those charged makes
possible a reformatory sentence.
Citizens Meet
County Attorney Wagener was
visited by citizens of Iiethany
and University Place Wednesday
as charges against the group
were being prepared. Spokesman
for the callers was Attorney
Norman F. Langemach, who
headed a discussion of the nature
of the charges.
A move for better police pro
tection of the Bethany and Uni
versity Place areas was urged
by the callers at the city hall.
Police Chief Carroll told them
that he recognized the need for
better protection, but that the
slate of the city's budget would
not permit it. He said that he
would like to place a radio
equipped car in the area In pref
erence to a foot patrolman,

Model UN Recommends
Continuance of UNESCO
Dr. Sorenson
Defines Role
Of UNESCO
UNESCO's role in the con
tinuing struggle for world peace
and better living for all man
kind, and the organization's
place in the family of United
Nations specialized agencies was
described by Dr. Frank Soren
son at the third plenary session
of the model General Assembly
Wednesday afternoon.
Dr. Sorenson, who is chairman
of the department of educational
services and director of the sum
mer session, presented the pro
gress report on UNESCO that is
to appear soon in the official
printed Bulletin of the United
Nations.
In the words of Dr. Jamie
Torres Bodet, director-general of
the organization, Dr. Sorenson
pointed out that UNESCO "is not
merely an administration it is
the center of a crusade. It is not
a secretariat and staff, but a
faith in the hearts of men."
Important Function
One of the most important
functions of the organization,
stressed Dr. Sorenson, is cre
ating educational settings." "We
all realize," he continued, "that
you con't make an individual
learn, but it is possible to es
tablish a setting conducive to
study such as, for example, the
model United Nations on this
campus."
Dr. Sorenson explained that
"not only are the two seminars
that UNESCO operates of inter
est, and worthy of mention, but
the efforts towards international
understanding is one of its main
achievements."
The UNESCO report was given
in two parts a review of the
organization's work for the past
year, and the forecast for 1950.
According to Dr. Bodet, the
speaket said, the job of UNESCO
is "to promote and sponsor pro
jects that promise to help the
masses, projects that would war
rant the support and assistance
of some of the world's great
men and women and projects
that would bring quick results."
4 Point Program
Dr. Sorenson outlined the 194fl
four-point program: 1. A careful
study of the needs of schools,
libraries and museums in war

Dona Barbara
To Sliow Here
March 24, 25
The film, "Dona Barbara"
which is to be sponsored by the
modern language department,
will be shown Thursday after
noon, March 24 at 3 p. m. and
Friday evening, March 25, at
7:30 p. m. The schedule of the
film, to be shown in Morrill hall
auditorium, was previously an
nounced at the wrong time.
Based on a novel of the same
name by Romulo Gallegos, ex
president of Venezuela, the story
concerns Dona Barbara. a
strong-willed woman who takes
delight in ruining men so she
can take over their property.
The novel, published in 1929, has
been hailed as one of the great
est pieces of contemporary
Spanish-language literature.
The star of the film is Maria
Felix, the "Hedy Lamarr of
Latin America." Dona Barbara
lives outside the law and is con
sidered bv many to be a symbol
of the late Dictator Gomez of
Venezuela.
The author of the novel, Gal
legos, is one of the most famous
South American authors. He is
a liberal, favoring a democratic
government for his country. He
served as a minister of educa
tion for Venezuela, president of
Venezuela in 19 It!, but was over
thrown by a military junta in
1948. He is now living in exile
in the United States.
Tickets to the film are 25
rents, and are available at the
modern language department in
Burnett Hall.
Claude Shokes will present the arguments. The court will be open

Strong Soviet
Opposition
Overridden
Despite a heated barrage of
opposition led by the Soviet
Union and its satellites, the re
port of the third committee, th
Social, Cultural and Humanitar
ian committee, was passed by the
General Assembly at the third
plenary session Wednesday after
noon. The report, submitted by
Chairman George Wilcox, after
three meetings by the commit
tee, recommended that the As
sembly commend and urge con
tinuance of the work oi the
UNESCO. The committee reports
expressed the opinion that tha
organization is fulf.lling its pur
pose and is not working outside
of its realm, as the Soviet dele
gation has charged.
The first protest was offered
by the Ukraine delegation. Ruth
Sorensen, chairman, pointed out
that the organization is one of
"cultural imperialism, and urged
all countries, especially the small
er nations, not to surrender their
culture to an international bu
reaucy dominated by the United
States."
Miss Sorensen continued by
saying that the United States
ought to "clean up their own
back yard." She cited examples
where the country had barred
teachers from teaching because
of being accused of being com
munistic. She pointed to the
state of Nebraska as another
place where the United States
ought to "clean up." In that
state, she said, a legislative com
mittee examines teachers to sea
if they are communists before al
lowing them to teach in the Uni
versity. Certain magazines are
barred in some cities, she con
tinued, and "anything pertaining
to communism is barred in some
places." She concluded by say
ing that "because it is so bad
in the United States, the Ukraine
certainly did not want such a
situation on an international
basis."
Answering the attack on her
country, Irene Hunter, chairman
of the United States delegation
said that "Russia has not taken
into consideration all the facts."
She asked the Ukraine "why they
don't petittion for membership to
the organization and voice their
opinions of the organization
there, rather than outside of the
body."
In answer to the charge that
UNESCO is dominated by the
United States, Miss Hunter
pointed out that every nation in
the body has one vote, despite
what financial aid they give the
organization. "What better ex
ample can we cite for improving
culture and education in the
world than UNESCO?" she asked
the Assembly.
Presenting the Soviet Union's
opposition to the report, George
Hancock said "there is no ques
tion but what the United States
controls UNESCO. She controls

Stomp Out Of
Mock Assembly
Russian delegates stomped out
of the UN mock Assembly Wed
nesday night with a clatter of
chairs and a slamming of brief
cases. The action was taken follow
ing the 25-6 approval by the
fourth plenary session of a
Yugoslav amendment which
would provide for international
inspection of all armaments. The
plan was offered as an amend
ment to a Russian proposal
which would have placed all
arms in an international stock
pile for the use of the United
Nations.
Jerry Matzke, Russian dele
gate denounced approval of the
amendment. He said that
Russia could not support the
proposal since it indicated a lack
ol good faith on the part of the
rest of the world, and the
United States in particular.
The General Assembly ad
journed without taking final ac
tion on the report of the Polit
ical and Security Committee. In
addition to the twenty-five non
controversial proposals pre
viously recomended by the UN
Military Staff Committee, these
four proposals were presented by
the Political and Security Com
mittee: The Security Council would be
empowered to make arrange
ments for policing and guarding
in the event of an emergency.
A committee would be estab
lished by the Security Council to
set up and maintain seven bases
for the use of United Nations
troops. The seven-member com
mittee would provide for the use
of these troops at staled bases in
an emergency
A supreme commander for all
UN forces would be selected by
the national commanders of the
member nations, lie would be
selected for a four-year term,
with his successor to assist him
for his last two years of office.
UN Forces would be rotated
so that the total force available
would be larger than that of any
single member nation.

pute between the mythical states
