To the Editor:
We would like to refer to a mis-statement which has appeared
in The Daily Nebraskan several times regarding the Latin-American
combo.
The mis-statement claims that the combo was organized ancf
sponsored by Robert Webster, "an American student." In the first
place we would like to make it clear that Bob is due as much
credit for the organization of the combo as any of the other mem
bers of it The combo was organized and brought about by the
initiative and cooperation of all of us as a group.
Secondly we would like to point out. that Robert Webster is a
native and citizen of the Republic of Honduras in Central America,
and therefore not a North-American student. We would like to
say here that Bob feels honored in being taken for "an American
student," but unfortunately' that is not the case.
Sincerely yours,
. J. Luis Munoz, Jr.

Thirty-six students will be under the direction of
Max Whittaker Monday night as they open the perform
ance of the University Theatre's "Once in a lifetime."
The Kaufman and Hart satire on Holywood will run three
evenings a the Nebraska treatre. With 50 stage crew
members supporting the 36 cast members, all efforts have
been directed toward presenting the best in the way of
laugh-provoking comedy. University students and in
structors will thoroughly enjoy the antics of a troupe of
dramatists when they hit the famous movie colony in the
Nebraska Theatre's "Once in a Lifetime."
When law students spend seven years preparing for
their profession, it's no wonder that the lav student is a
little befuddled when it comes to handling his own legal;
problems. But University students are always welcome
at the Law colege legal aid bureau, where they can inquire
about business problems, installment buying, taxes and
other legal matters. Not only is the bureau an important
tmrt in the law students' traininp. hut its arlvire is in
aemana ai me university ana tnrougnoui me city, i nej
bureau represents one of Nebraska's most important serv- j
ices; it stands ready to handle the greatest variety of
problems.

The YM-YW Easter tour is calling its last "All aboard"
toay for an 11-day trip to the White House, to Congress,
the Supreme Court and the UN. Reservations for the
student-faculty tour must be made today at the YW office. I
In view of Nebraska students' experience with the current
model general assembly, the visit to the actual assembly
should have special significance. The whole trip, designed
to give students an understanding of the federal govern
ment and the United Nations, promises to be a worthwhile
investment
The question "Why Do We Fail?" is a subject which
has commanded the attention of philosophers since man
first concerned himself with the delving into the study of
human nature. It is a question which concerns every stu
dent and every faculty member in everyday living. "Why
Do We Fail?" is the topic which will be discussed tonight
by W. T. Stace. rjrofessor of nhilnsnnhv at Prinrptnn uni
versity. Tonight's address will conclude Dr. Stace's visit
at the University and this vpar'a Mnnt

wind up his talks with a subject upon which Ke has spent

to all student and faculty listeners.

Friday brings to a climax an all-University project
which has commanded our attention for the past week,
the United Nations model general assembly. At this point
there can be no doubt about the success of the conference
The hard work of the delegates has made the entire pro
gram an important step toward international education.
We remind those who have as yet been unable to attend
the mock assembly that today is the last opportunity they
will have to participate as spectators in this momentous
experiment Those who have attended the conference be
fore today will need no reminder. We need not think twice
to realize the importance of the UN's role in our lives
our own part in contributing to the success of world gov
ernment will be given an extra boost by this final session
of the mock United Nations assembly.
It's not been too difficult to pick out the more in
dustrious juniors during the past few weeks. Tonight
we'll see what this first experiment in class organization
has done. The Junior-Senior prom, if it can be measured
by the efforts of its chief sponsors, will be one of the
best all-University dances of the year. Although presen
tation of the 1950 beauty queens tops this evening's bill of
entertianment, the atmosphere of the entire prom promises
to take the lead in spring events.

of coaches toward fraternities. Every spring since we've j
been in school coaches have urged fraternities to pledge
freshmen athletes the following fall and to give them some'
help by letting them work as "hashers" in the different!
houses. But when initiation time arrivps nftpr tho fircrl
semester, some of the coaches flatly refuse or are very

Obviously, the athletic department thinks fraternities are

No one can deny that, although fraternity men are not the
only ones on athletic teams, they do lend a great deal of
suport, both through participation and backing the teams.
It seems to us that fraternities deserve a little considera
tion from the coaches. It certainly isn't much to ask them
to let athletes who are beinsr initi.itpH ski
out fear of jeopardizing their positions on the team.

Technically, Mr. Truman has
not thus far refused to turn the

Carthy's charges that Commu

infiltrated the state department.
A key Democratic Senator
termed McCarthy's criticism of
Mr. Truman "such a lowly attack
that I can't think of a fitting re

kind of criticism of the President

After Tuesday's ridiculous
column, it feels good to get back
in the saddle. I would like to
take this opportunity to thank
the editor who reads this column
and makes
cuts before it
goes to press.
If it weren't
for him this

probably have

out of school
long ago. Not
that any of the
remarks were
too bad, on the
contrary, you
readers may Farber.
have gotten a bang out of them,
it's just that the integrity of the
Rag has to be maintained on a
high plane so maybe thaf jus
tifies the actions of our esteemed
editor
An open letter to Mr. McKay:
Dear John;
First of all I'd like to say that
the material in this column is,
lor the most part, hearsay. That
is, I merely print material that
was given to me by another
party. You must remember that
you are as others see you which
is sometimes good yet on the
otljjr hand, it might not be so
gooo. I assure you that the dis
paraging remarks and reflections
cast upon your character were
done so in humor and not with
any attempt by this wrtier to de
grade your good name.
We all respect all of our teach
ers as much as you do and be
lieve me when I 'say that we
come to school for an education
alone and not for the fine fun
times that this conservative uni
versity offers. All I do is study,
study, study much as you infer
that you do. It's really not so
bad, but once in awhile I sneak
off for a bottle of Whistle just
to break the monotony. Do you
do the same?
We all like to make remarks
about our instructors and to our
instructors in class. It's part of
the game. Some teachers even go
so far as to join in and pitch the
remarks and things right back.
That's only to be expected. Now
I know that you are a fine boy
with no malice or mischief in
your soul. Aren't we all. Now
John, I want you to accept my
apologies and please let's be
friends. I want that very much,
really I do. You're not the first
character that I've ruined, nor
will you be the last. If you should
die. please feel assured that I
will compose an epitaph for you
that will live on forever.
Very truly yours,
Ajon F. Farber.
In all seriousness, there is no
harm done and we're sorry that
you were, as you put it, erro
neously accused. To show my
Kood faith, if we should meet,
I'll buy you a beer and we can
share our sorrows. Also I have a
card that will interest you if you
ran round up a chaplain.
Not too long ago we received
a letter from a covy of Alpha
Chis. We'd like to say to you
girls that we appreciated your
endorsement of this column and
we'd like to assure you that it
will continue much to the con
sternation of some of my lodge
brothers who see absolutely no
use for it what-so-eyer. It was
a sweet letter and if we can ever
do anything for you, please let us
know. Bless your hearts.
To the person who signed her
letter "One who cares," we like
to have more information along
with the personal statistics (sig
nificant digits and all). Having
never heard of Box 333, and
Bruce Kennedy doesn't know a
thing, we are at a loss as to
where to reach you. Come forth
and make a personal contact. Of
course this might be a feeble at
tempt at a "con" on this column
and if it is, remember, we have
the last word.
WUdt ever limine iird to the
j dances that were supposed to be
held in the I'ninn on weekday
afternoons? When the high
school kiddies were here, there
; was a dance in the ballroom that
was pretty nice. Lots of people,
: good musie. and refreshments.
! It's nice to be able to take a nal
and hold her close in some place
other than the crib and an after
noon dunce would facilitate this
sort of midday romancing great
ly. Over at the ZBT house one of
the boys is working on a deal
that, if it works out. it will be
the end. Several weeks ago, Orv
Milder wrote to Dave Garroway
(music director and chief disc
jockey of NBC) and asked for
information on Vivian Martin
(The cool singer who sings, and
we mean sings, (in the Garroway
show at 11:30 p. m. Monday nite
over NBC out of Chicago). Dave
sent back a picture of Viv and
on the back he said: "I wouid
suggest that you write Vivian
herself for the Statistics" and
signed it "Peace" Dave.
Taking this advice to heart,
Orv composed a letter to Vivian
and to his surprise, he received
an answer. The statistics were
all there along with a subtle in
vite to continue the correspond
ence. Orv was quick to take up
this ofler and immediately a pos
tal passion parlay was started.
The two of them have been writ
ing madly since. Orv asked Viv
down for the big ZBT Whoopee
i Daze in May and believe it or
i not she may come down. We
hope so. As a woman she's as
cool as they make 'em and as a
singer, she's too much for words.
They really would make a slick
couple. Not too bad.
Something different tn Hell
weeks is the turnabout deal that
the Tri Delts pull for their
pledges. Lighting cigarettes,
opening doors and other menial
tasks is only a part of what the
actives do for the pledges. They
really treat the gals like queens.
All the Fraternity pledges on
rampus are moaning how they
wished that they had pledged
Tri Delt. It's a good trirk if It

your own dance and go to this
