today's Letterip author, toward the model United Nations
general assembly. We do not feel the delegates sat at the
meetings like a bunch of mokeys, deluding themselves into
thinking the conference was achieving its aims. We offer
no apologies for the conference; we feel that it served its
purpose, that it was a success.
We are certain that when the delegates arrived at
the conference the matter of activity points was the
furtherest thing from their minds. Concerning the con
tention that the delegates were talking just to hgar them
selves talk, the "enormous amount of time end energy"
which went into the conference would seem to prove this
charge utterly false. We had only to take the time to at
tend the assembly to see that the most sincere eflorts were

far surpassed the expenditure of effort that went into it.
The lack of response was expected. There are some
people who, no matter how much prodding they receive,
remain totally indifferent toward their part in national
and world government. Not only do they permit them
selves to remain uneducated in these vital matters, but
they show no desire to become intelligent citizens upon
which world peace depends. The situation seems to call for
sort of an education for education: these people must be
instilled with the ardent ambition to become well-informed i
world citizens. The students who participated in the con
ference recognize this need and realize their responsibility
in remedying the widespread inertia toward active interest
in international relations.

fit to praise last year's UNESCO conference, we could not
help but feel a little pride in this unique experiment. Uni
versity students felt their work contributed to overcom
ing the label of "isolationism" which has been tacked on
to the Mid West.
The University may appear to be sleeping while great
movements for peace materialize, but we suspect that it
is sleeping with one eye open. We realize that one of the
most important functions of the University is to prevent
students from skimming through school without a basic
education in world government.
The model United Nations general assembly has left
us with the feeling that it was a success. We are not satis
fied with completing the conference but realize that our
work is just beginning. Even this realization points to
some measure of success. Those students who directed the
conference, those who participated as delegates and those
who attended the meetings as spectators deserve the most
hearty praise. Their project was a positive step toward
solving the world dilemna, toward bringing about an edu
cation, for peace.
Editorial Briefs
A picture display of other Unions in the country is
on exhibit this week in the Union lobby. The purpose of
this display is to snow NU students the facilities which
students of other large universities enjoy in their Unions.
The display is part of tho Union Expansion committee's
program to give students ideas on what they might like
to have included in the proposed Union addition. If Ne
braska students feel that an addition is desirable, theyj
will have an opportunity to give their OK in an all-student
election of some kind in the near future.

cause of a mixup, which is com
mon to the two actors, they find
themselves on a dude ranch in
the west.
"Idol of the Crowd"
John Wayne will take the
stellar role in the co-feature,
"Idol of the Crowds."
"Stan In My Crown"
The chances are very great
that when you walk out of the
motion picture, "Stars in My
Crown," you'll be humming the
song with that same title. The
picture, starting Tuesday at the
Lincoln, is a midwest premiere
engagement. If you enjoy a down
to earth picture about just com
mon people, this film will be a
pleasure. Joel McCrea has the
lead role of a pistol-totin' parson
in a small town in the south.
Playing the role very effectively,
McCrea preaches in barns, in
parlors and outdoors until finally
a church is built in the former
religion-shy community. The par
son falls in love with his or
ganist, Ellen Drew, and marries
her. An orphan. Dean Stockwell,
comes to live with them. Trouble
comes in the form of a typhoid
epidemic, and during this period,
the parson proves how effective
is his faith. Later, single-handedly,
he disperses a violent mob
and wins another victory adding
one more star in his crown.
"Borderline"
"Borderline," starting Wednes
day at the Stuart, co-stars Fred
MacMurray and Claire Trevor
and attempts to combine sus
pense and comedy in proportions
that can tax an audience's ca
pacity for laughs. The plot of
the film revolves around a Los
I .,is4K.iJ
d a
or
phan girl to live with his fam
ily. Although at the time, the
little girl is nearly an idiot, she
becomes educated quickly. "By
the time she becomes a grown
woman, the minister is hopeless

Her performance has reminded
many critics of the acting of
Greta Garbo.
Reality of Setting:
Film goers will be attracted by
the reality of the setting. This
intimate tiarv nf a mountain
pastor wa filmed at the Swiss
village of Chateau D'Oex in the
the locale moves to ncaarly Pos
siniere where the company built
Pastor Martin's house alongside
a real church.
Author and recent Nobel prize
winner Andre Gide can be proud
of the way the picture catches
the sorrow and frustration of the
real setting, the corners of the
human heart. The New York
Times calls it "One of the 10
most distinguished foreign films."
