Speaker at the inflation dinner J held Tuesday evening in the Union was William T. Utley, pro fessor at the University of Omaha. Speaking of American society, Utley said: "Our social and eco nomic patterns seem to hold a "gimme" complex. It is difficult to find a single segment of our civilization that does not have its hand out." "We now have a full genera tion of . Americans who know nothing about a government that professes to look after them. Ihe amount and kind of government we get, however, will be exactly the kind we ask for," he con tinued. - Utley said that the ' "gimme" complex resulted from a desire on the part or tne American people for security.

Annual Awards Presented Nearly 1,600 university stu dents were recognized in various ways at the Tuesday honors con vocation. At the top of the list of hon orees were the seniors whose grades are 8.00 or above, or who have been on the honor list since matriculation as freshmen at the University. There were 68 such students. Two hundred and twenty-one seniors were recog nized for high scholarship, 11 of them students of dentistry or medicine. One hundred and thirty-five juniors, including those in den tistry and medicine; 136 sopho mores, and 231 freshmen were also recognized for high, scholar ship. Prizes and awards were given to students under 85 separate names. Some of this number, however, were duplicate awards given by the same person for different purposes. A student was eligible to receive more than one award. Several, therefore, were awarded two or more scholarships. Prizes, scholarships and keys were given by prominent alumni of the University, Lincoln busi ness establishments, nationally known firms, foundations, radio stations, newspapers, fra ternities .and other societies, academies and institutes. Many were also given by various or ganizations within the Univer sity, siJch as honorary fraterni ties. Over 200 upperclass Regents scholarships were given. The students elected to mem bership in Phi Beta Kappa, Sig ga Xi, Gamma Sigma Delta, Beta Gamma Sigma. Alpha Omega Alpha, Pi Lambda Theta and Alpha Lambda Delta, many of whose names had been made public previous to the convica tion, also were Usted. in the hon ors booklet. Pound Tells Social Aims' Limitations Much of the humanitarian aims of the service state are cer tainly beyond practical attain ment through law, Dr. Roscoe Pound, former Nebraska and Harvard law dean, said in the second of a series of three pub lic lectures Tuesday night. Dr. Pound stressed the fact that he was not "preaching" against the service state. "The society of today," he continued, "demands services beyond those which the state which only maintained order and repaired injuries could perform. Relief from the but. "den of poverty, relief from want, relief from fear, insurance against frustration where men's ambition outruns their powers, are 1 a u di b 1 e humanitarian Ideals." "But," he pointed out, "much at least of the laudable humani tarian program, if not beyond practical attainment, is certainly beyond practical attainment through law." Dr. Pound, currently a law lecj turer at the University of Cali fornia in Los Angeles, is the first lecturer of the new Roscoe Pound lectureship established with the University Foundation recently by members of the Nebraska Bar association. Dr. Pound's final lecture will be given Wednesday at 8 p. m. Security Continuing, the lecturer ex plained that "in the English speaking world, until the present generation, security has meant security from aggression of fault or wrongdoing of others, but to day the term is being used to mean much more how much more it is not easy to say." "What seems to . be develop ing as a jural postulate is: "In civilized society, men are entitled to assume that they will be se cured by the state against all loss or injury, even though the re sult of their own fault or im providence ,and to that end that liability repair all loss or injury be cast by law upon someone deemed better, able to bear it," pointed out the speaker. In conclusion, Dr. Pound asked the audience if "we are looking squarely at all the acts if we turn to a wholesale establishing of liability without fault in faith that by doing so we are our selves taking on the burden- of repairing all loss and damage suffered by our fellow men." There ought to be a better method of making the legal order more effective than this, he said. Theta &u Selects 9 New Members Nine outstanding pre-medical students have been selected for membership to the Nebraska chapter of Theta-Nu, pre-med honorary. ' y ' ' Honored at a recent banquet, the students were selected for high scholarship and interest in pre-med activities.

Vanderslice Receives Top Senior Honors Robert Vanderslice, University senior from Lincoln, was named winner of highest honors at the Tuesday convocation. Vanderslice, who originally planned to teach and now ex pects to make a career for him self in the Army instead, re ceived two awards created by C. W. Boucher, University Chan cellor from 1938 to 1946. They are the -C. W. Boucher Memo rial Senior Award, given to the senior, with the highest scholas tic average In four years at the University; and the C. W. Bou cher Memorial Senior ROTC Award, which goes to the ROTC senior with the highest scholas tic average. His average for the four-year period is 8.58, equivalent to a 94.5 in the old grading system. The top senior majored in German and Greek, but did not limit his language studies to these two. He also studied Latin, Russian, and Swedish. He is a member of several honorary or ganizations, including Phi Beta Kappa, Scabbard and Blade, and Pershing Rifles. Vanderslice first became in terested in a military career while he was enrolled in basic Army ROTC courses. For his ad vanced ROTC training he chose the Corps of Military Police. He now holds the title of Distin guished Military Student. Twenty-four other senior stu dents whose names have been on the honor roll for all four years and who possess grade av erages of 90 per cent or better AUF Plans Spring Of Pledges for '50- Two major changes in the All University Fund program for so licitation have been made in pre liminary plans for the single large drive which will go into operation next fall. The new plans call for a dif ferent system of solicitation. Jo Lisher. director of the stu dent charity group, announced that part of the new program will be inaugurated during the spring registration of this school year in order to make the '50 '51 drive more successful. At that time according to Miss Lisher, the group which solicits donations for several University approved relief agencies, will in itiate a program of pledge solic iting. Students will then have the op portunity to sign pledge forms promising contributions which they will make later next year. Payment actually wili not be due until Feb. 25. 1951. Booths Open May 8 . Officers of the organization will begin accepting student pledges the week of May 8, in booths located in front of Tem porary B. This, it is believed, will eliminate much of the so licitation that would normally have to be carried out during the year. However this emphasized Miss Lisher. doesn't mean that the drive will be of short duration after the fall semester gets un derway next school year. The other policy change al lows for a year-round program rather than a short drive such as the one conducted last year. "These are the largest changes KAM to Display Student Work At Print Salon The All-University Print salon sponsored by Kappa Alpha Mu will open Monday, May 1, at Morrill hall. Featured in the show Will be student work in the field of photography. Four classes of prints will be judged: Pictorial, table topi news, and sports. Upon consent of the owners of the winning . prints, the winning prints in the four divisions will become part of Kappa Alpha Mu's. permanent collection. Students , wishing to enter prints in the show should bring them to the office of pictorial journalism, Burnett hall, on or befora SaTsdajAiffiwO"""""" The prints entered in the salon may be of any size, but must be mounted on standard 16 by 20 inch mounts before they will be accepted by the exhibition com mittee. ' . - The show has been held an nually for the past three years by the organization, which is composed of University students interested, in the field of photog raphy. According to President Bob Duis, ' all students who , have photography as their hobby are invited to participate in the salon. "University students have given good response to the print salons in the past, and we would like this year's show to exceed the previous ones In quality of work and number of entries," com mented Duis. More than 60 individual prints were judged in last year s exhibition. iiiiUilMitlirltlWifli ROBERT VANDERSLICE were honored Tuesday. They are: Arnold O. Allen, Lewis V. Belcher, Charles R. Bergoffen, Robert B. Casari, Wanda K. Cochran, Lawrence E. Donegan, Glen W. Elliott, Donald C. Gal lagher, Russell S. Hall, Mary J. Henn, Margie G. Hineman, Da vid J. Innis. Robert L.

Webber, and Glenn E. Wiar. that have been made in AUF policy for many years, said Miss Lisher. Reasons for Longer Drive The decision for extenuation of the drive was made because it was thought that a longer campaign would be more effec tive. With this sort of operation, soliciting would be more con stant, and not so abrupt. With more time being allowed, it is felt that students would not ne cessarily "be hurried" to make their donations. In past years beneficiaries of AUF have been the Community Chest, World Student Service Fund, and United Negro College fund. Red Cross, Infantile Par alysis Fund, and Displaced Per sons fund. The Community Chest solicits funds for many local agencies including the YM and YWCA. Prof Kills 3; Peru Head, Teacher, Self A Peru State Teachers college psychology professor shot and killed the president of the col lege and another professor, then killed himself Tuesday. Dr. William L. Nicholas, presi dent of Peru college since 1946, and Dr. Paul A. Maxwell, head of the education department, were slain at their desks by Dr. Barney K. Baker, psychology professor. The body of Dr. Baker, whose actions were attributed to a dis missal move, was found at home by a posse of police officers. A note found by the body said: "Willie (Dr. Nicholas) tried to fire the wrong man." No Inquest According to the Nemaha county attorney, Fred C. Kiechel, "there is no doubt that he did away with these two men and then killed himself." There is also "no doubt it was premedi tated murder," Kiechel con tinued. He said there would be no inquest. Kiechel said Baker had been dismissed in a reorganization pro gram at the college. The dis missal was to be effective at the end of the current school year. Tuesday morning, Baker called t Nicholas' office and sat in a waiting room with a secretary and two telephone repairmen for several minutes. Miss Dor "6"rny"5teparo,"' the veer etary, said Baker insisted on going in ahe.ad of the repairmen. Baker walked into Nicholas' office and a minute later five shots were heard and Baker walked out with a gun in his hand, Miss Steparo said. No Words He then went downstairs to Maxwell's office, spoke to his secretary and went in. He shot. Maxwell, who was his superior in the education department, without a word and left. Kiechel said he then went to his office before going home to shoot him self with the same gun. Classes were in progress when the shots, rang out but the 400 students in the state school were immediately dismissed. The col-J lege has shut down its switch board to all calls, and will not accept any telephone calls into th school. U.S. Should Prevent ShootingWar-IBrown The United States must find an honorable pattern for preventing a shooting war in. Europe, Cecil Brown, radio commentator an4 author, told the 5,000 persons attending the annual University Honors Convocation Tuesday morning. Over 1,300 students were honored for high scholar ship at the convocation in the coliseum. rf, 7Z Z I ivappa jl au Aipna Adds 11 Students The names of 11 students have been added to the roles of Kappa Tau Alpha, journalism honorary which bases its membership on high scholarship.

O'f the 34, 19 were graduating seniors in the upper one-fourth of their class, 12 were graduate students, one was an alumnus, and two were faculty members. Seniors elected are: William N. Baxter, Lewis V. Belcher, Owen W. Brainard, Lylj E. Da vis, Everett J. Dennis, Albert D. Flowerday, Merwyn G. French, jr., Don I. Gard, and Robert H. Hartman. Leonard J. Hosack, Eugene J. Kamprath, Stanley J. Lambert, Roland E. Monteith, Ivan W. Nielseii, Nolan J. Peters, Clif ford O. Quick, Elmer E. Rem menga, Duane E. , Sellin, and Lloyd W. Wk'th. . Upper One-Fourth According to Darrell D. Deane, assistant professor of dairy hus bandry, the senior students are elected from the upper one fourth of the graduating class in agriculture. The two faculty members, who were elected, John D. Furrer," agriculture ex tension assistant in the depart ment of agronomy; and Ralston J. Graham, "agricultural editor; each had to have served In their respective capacities for at least three years. Any alumnus chosen by the group must have been out . of school for at least 5 years and must have contributed something to agriculture in his own field. In this category, Harold A. Hauke was elected to member ship. , The graduate students chosen were nominated by sponsors on the Ag College faculty. They have earned at least 8 graduate credits and are all within a year of getting their degrees. Those graduates elected to membership are: Yeun Chiu, John M. Dun leavy, Konneth W. Hill, William M. Johnson, Edward F. Laird, jr., Ralph E. Luebs, Ralph S. Mat lock, Neal E.,Michaelson, Chris topher N. Morgan, Wade Parkey, Merle R. Teel, and Hubert J. Walters. their right names," he said. VWe are not championing democracy when we frustrate democracy by supporting the totalitarian gov ernments in Yugoslavia, Ger many and Spain." Military Aid Brown denounced the military aid given to Marshal Tito's gov ernment in Yugoslavia. He said that the U. S. was supporting a totalitarian government merely as a bulwark against commu nism. The U. S. fails, Brown said, when it fails to support the freedom and dignity of the in dividual. "The battle today is between those who believe in humanity against thosa who despise de mocracy," he said. Brown said that there was today a battle between the United States and Russia to win Germany over to their side. The United States is offering aid and democracy to the Germans. Russia, who is greatly feared and hated by most Germans, offers on the other hand a uni f i e d Germany. Nationalism, Brown said, is an important fac tor in German culture. The Ger man people have never learned to think for themselves, he said, nor are they in the main pro democratic. German Economy In arguing against rebuilding a strong industrial Germany, Brown said, "The German econ omy has never been used in the 20th century to help the rest of Europe. It has twice been used to destroy that of the other na tions in Europe." Franco Spain will soon be recognized by the United States, Brown predicted. Supporting a fascist government is not, he said, much different from sup porting a communist govern ment, such as Yugoslavia. "No one who surveys Europe can say that peace is assured or is even in the making," Brown said. "We are now, in a tragic (See 'Brown', Page 4) University Tells Job Openings Jobs in 11 occupational fields are open to University graduates, Dean T. J. Thompson's office has announced.
