Council Constitution ...
The fact becomes increasingly obvious to even the
v. i nhoprwr' that the "interim" Student Council
vaouu v-w ----- . .J ,
will not be able to complete its work on a new student
government constitution this spnng.
With but a month remaining in the year, the group
has not yet completed its document designed to meet the
needs of the campus tor years to come.
And even if the Council were to whip up a consti
tution at its next meeting, as the past weeks have pitifully
illustrated, the instrument for government on this campus
still has hurdles to overcome max maite us aciuaiuy uu
Rnrine? imrjossible.
For even after the Council has put the finishing
touches on the constitution and given it their final ap
proval, the document then must be submitted to both the
student body and the faculty for their approval. There
exists, too, the possibility that the Board of Regents will
have to ratify the completed constitution. The process
nf ratification will take time lots of time. There must
be an adeauate period for careful analysis of the document
hv hnth students and facultv members. There must be
an, opportunity for discussion and time for adequate pub
licity on the constitution to assure familiarity before ap
Troval.
Even if the instrument could possibly win speedy ar.
ceptance, the days remaining could hardly be adequate tor
readying the machinery to put it into practice. Filings,
campaigns and an all-University election for next year's
Council under the "new" constitution take considerable
time even on a campus singularly unenthusiastic about
student government.
Thus, it is lamentable that the tone in the Council
is "let's get the constitution done even if it is a little
xrough." It is especially disturbing to hear Council members
say "we can revise, it next year if it doesn t look so good
then." The accent seems to be on getting the student
government instrument done at all costs. Hurryy at the
expense of sober consideration and necessary foresight, is
dominating the scene at (Jouncil meetings.
Such an attitude is especially disturbing in a group
selected to formulate a constitution that could adequately
serve the campus for a good number of years. The repre
sentatives of the Council should remember that their task
is to write the best possible constitution for this campus
or to offer their best possible ideas to a group that will
carry on their current project. The value of the present
body lies not in its ability to finish the constitution at any
cost in order to make the deadline of its term of office
but to serve us constituents, under the circumstances, by
offering the product of a year's work to successors in the
btst possible form.
This year's Council has not been a failure in any sense
even if its work does not result in a completed consti
tution. Its contribution has been an extensive investiga
tion into the possibilities of student government which can
carry over o next year's body with greater assurance of
suess. Its failure can come only by hurriedly completing
the document designed to create student government with
a future on this campus. By attempting to thrust a speed
ily, constructed constitution on the student body, Counc'l
members will have done their fellow students an irrepar
able harm.

Students and faculty members who participated in last
month's mock United Nations assembly will meet Tuesday
evening for a general evaluation of the conference. Open
to anyone interested in the NUCWA venture, the meeting
will be devoted to a discussion of what the model assembly
accomplished. Students who attended the conference meet
ings should be concerned with offering suggestions as to.
where the project fell short in presenting an attraction to
the entire campus. Their ideas can become the blueprints
for making any similar program next year a truly all
University program . . . one that will demand the attention
of every student and instructor. Their suggestions can
provide the outline for making the Nebraska University
Council for World Affairs better fulfill its aim . . . that of
bringing University students to play their roll in interna
tional relations.
One of America's most distinguished statesmen, Dr.
Ralph Bunche, United Nations mediator in the Palestine
dispute, will be on this campus May 8 for an all-University
convocation. Scheduled to appear at the Coliseum for his
address, Dr. Bunche should command a record convocation
crowd. He is one of the world's most noted figures in the
struggle for international peace and will discuss "How the
ance for all peoples of the world, Dr. Bunche is in every
sented our nation in numerous world conferences and was
recently offered the post of assistant secretary of state,
which he declined. A champion of understanding and toler
ance for all peoples of the world, Dr. Bunihe is in every
sense a great man, respected and admired the world ovej.
The all-out cooperative effort of Lincoln ' groups to
promote COURTESY in this city has now turned to self
control. ; "He who would manage others must first learn
to manage himself" is the slogan for the seventh of eight
campaign divisions. The month's emphasis on courtesy
calls for control of emotions, control' of speech and devel
opment of poise and dignity. As in the past portions of the
drive,-the month's accent puts the stress on practical ways
to practice courtesy in every-day life. The use of self
control plays a decisive part in making an individual a per
son one enjoys being around. Displays of temper, "touchi
ness," and "bad moods" belong to immature persons who
seem to want attention. "Swearing a blue streak" is less
a sign of Tm a big boy (or girl) now than it is a sad
commentary on an inadequate vocabulary. Control of
speech also should act aa a warning to those people who
tactlessly say the wrong thing at the wrong time, hurting
innocent people by their indiscretions. Betraying a confi
dence, too, poisons that, confidante's trust in a person's
ability to control his tongue. Poise and dignity are invalu
able in inspiring confidence, creating calm and reason, and
meeting crises, confusion and irrationality. They are essen
tial, la putting others at ease and in providing efficiency of
cction. Control that comes from disciplining self creates
e real pride in being a real person, capable of ineeting all
r.;lr.r.lici fy working well with other people.

Reds Try to Make Trouble
Acheson
Washington "Russia Is trying
to stir up trouble in several crit
ical areas of the world and the
situation is serious," declared
Secretary of State Acheson at a
news conferee in the nation's
capital
Even as the Secretary of State
spoke out against Russia at the
news conference, the capital re
sounded with hot and angry
words on the same subject only
in less tempered tones. Demands
were raised for strong action by
the United States as a result of
the Baltic plane shooting inci
dent and Moscow's latest note
regarding the shooting.
Congress passed a resolution
calling for decorations for ten
American naval airmen lost in
the Baltic sea as a result of the
shooting.
Chairman Vinson of the house
armed services committee de
manded in a speech from the
floor that this country "Main
tain sufficient armed forces to
insure Russian respect other
wise we will race pell mell into
another world war, a war fo
mented by our own military
weakness."
Lattimore Refutes Red Charges
Washington Owen Lattimore
derided charges that he was a
member of a communist cell and
scoffed at Senator McCarthy as
a man whose knowledge is lim
ited to "what he has learned
from Charlie Chan movies."
Lattimore declared, "as a loyal
American citizen who is not and
never has been a communist or
anything but an American, I say
it is long past time to clean out
the cesspool from which this
campaign of character assassi
nation, intimidation and villifi
cation emanates."
Latest events in the McCarthy
Lattimore proceedings are the
subpoenas of two former com
munist party officials by Latti
more which will refute charges
of Louis- Budenz, another former
communist, that Lattimore is a
communist.
Where Do Minora Obtain Liquor
Where and how 'teen age mo
torists obtain whiskey, wine and
beer troubles both Lincoln po
lice and state highway patrolmen.-
Over the week, both law en
forcement agencies arraigned in
municipal court a group of three
defendants, all under 21, on com
plaints involving drinking and
traffic accidents.
Police said that as yet they
had not ascertained where the
minors secured their liquor.

Elementary
Grades Need
Instructors
An acute shortage of elemen
tary teachers is still plaguing the
nation's schools, reports the U.S.
Department of Labor.
However, the department states
that an oversupply of secondary
teachers will almost force stu
dents receiving secondary school
training to go after a master's
degree in order to qualify for
the best employment opportuni
ties. The number of students com
pleting preparation for high
high school teaching in 1949 was
four times as great as the de
mand; the oversupply in 1950 is
expected to be even greater.
The total number of elemen
tary teaching positions will in
crease due to the probable sharp
rise in enrollments for grades one
to eight. The number of new
teachers needed, the department
of Labor reports, will be greater
about 1953.
It is estimated that over a
half a million elementary teach
ers will be required in the next
ten years to replace those who
die, retire or leave the profes
sion for other reasons.
Enrollments in grades nine to
twelve are expected to decline
until about 1952. After that year,
enrollments will probably rise
slowly for the following three
years and then increase rapidly
until the 1960's. An oversupply
of teachers In these grades is ex
pected even in the years of
greatest enrollment.
Ag Students
Will Examine
Building Fees
All Ag students desiring in
formation on the proposed fee
hike that will allow for con
struction of a new Ag Union,
city Union expansion and a con
tinuing of the 7-column Rag,
will have their say at the mass
rally Monday, April 24. The
meeting will be at 4 p. m.
Discussing the situation will be
a panel composed of students and
faculty on the Ag Union build
ing commitee. Questions from
the audience will be directed by
Butch Nevine who is committee
member in charge of the mass
meeting.
In addition to presenting fi
nancial information the commit
tee hopes to answer questions
such as: "Will the fee increase
be doubledjooufsta tu
dents?" " V .
. The primary purpose of the
meeting is to discuss a 1L. angles,
pertinent to the proposed raise in
fees and subsequent Union con
struction. According to Jack DeWulf, an
Ag Union will definitely be con
structed if the raise in fees is
supported in ' the all-University
poll scheduled for 10 a. m. Wed
nesday, April 26.
A raise in fees will go toward
retiring a bond necessary for
the Union construction, and
towards operating expenses.

"I put my best into everything
I did. I just decided that I might
as well put my all into my work
for Corn Cobs."
That is the attitude behind the
story of Don Chang,, who was
recently made an honorary mem
ber of Corn Cobs. Chang, a "sen
ior, did all, the work of a pledge
when he joined the organization'
last fall.
Chang became Interested in the
Corn Cobs through Rod Lindwalf
president of the organization.
Although only sophomores are
admitted to active membership,
Chang pledged and did pledge
work, such as selling flowers and
pamphlets, and joined in the
cheering section. For this, Chang
was made honorary member of
the group, the first time in many
years that this honor has been
extended.
Chang is a short, dark Hawai
ian boy with a broad grin. He
was born in Honolulu and lived
there until he came to the Uni
versity of Nebraska two years
ago. He attended the University
of Hawaii for two yaers.
Law Ambitions
Since his junior high days.
Chang has planned to be a

lawyer. He came to Nebraska
hwaiise his Drofessors at the
University of Hawaii strongly
recommended the political
science and law training courses
offered here. Chang said that
both departments had lived up to
his expectations.
Chanc won the Missouri Val
ley and Nebraska forensic league
oratorv contests in 1949 with his
speech, "Americans Second
Class." The speech concerned the
efforts of his native Hawaii to
eain statehood.
Chang said that he believed
that the charges of widespread
communist activity in Hawaii
were "pure bunk."
No Reds
"The only reds that you will
find in Hawaii are the sunburned
people on the beaches," he said.
This year, he entered the Mis
souri Valley forensic contest at
Wichita with a speech, "CamoU'
flage," a speech denouncing rac
ial discrimination. He received
two first places and one second
place vote from northern judges,
but was rated fifth by two judges
from southern universities.
"I didn't expect to win any
thing in that contest," Chang
said. "I had a message that I
wanted to deliver and I did it."
He was a member of Delta
Sigma Rho, national forensic
honorary at the University of
Hawaii. He joined the Same
group at Nebraska, and is now
secretary-treasurer, of the local
chapter.
Chang was chief Panamanian
delegate at the recent United Na
tions model assembly held on
the campus. Chang led the small
nations fight to obtain recogni
tion of their status by the big
five powers.
Belief in God
He recently joined the Episco
pal Church. During the first 22
years of his life. Chang said, he
had never really believed in any
thing religious.
"I decided fhat there must be
a God," he said. "There is al
ways something to guide and
comfort a person when he be
lieves in God. A person needs
something before which he can
humble nimself when he is in
trouble, or when he is happy."
"My biggest thrur on the cam
pus was my initiation into
Acacia," Chang said.
Chang pledged Acacia fratern
ity this fall, along with a fel
low Hawaiian, Clarence Furuya.
He was recently initiated and
fipcted secretary of the fraternity.
j'orty flowered leis from Ha
waii were ordered by Chang for
the Acacia formal to be held soon
at Cotner Terrace. The leis,
which are made of both orchids
and carnations, will be given to
the dates of the members. This is
the first time that a "lei dance"
has been held by a campus group.
Chang, whose ancestors were
Chinese, Japanese and Hawaiian,
was sports editor and editor of
the paper and president of the
senior class at Roosevelt High
School in Honolulu. He served a
year in the Signal Corps after
his graduation from high school.
'General' Experience
Chang has spent his summers
as a geologist's assistant, inter
viewer, playground director,
blueprint worker, chemists as
sistant and waiter.
"I just wanted to get expe
rience in a general line," he said.
Midwest people are not as
friendly as people of Hawaii.
Chang said. He said tnat he
found American students were
more fun loving than their coun
terparts in Hawaii. Americans,
Chang said are harder to be
come acquainted with. '
"The flat country here has
impressed me most," h -aid,
"since I'm used to seeing moun
tains. And I love your snow."
Chang's application (or en

accepted by five universities. Ha
