PAGE 4 Former Holy Land Mediator Will Address Con vo Tonight Dr. Ralph Bunche, who will address a University convocation tonight at 8 p.m. in the Coliseum, is one of the outstanding public figures In the United States to day. Bunche. whose topic will be 'The United Nations Interven tion," was the United Nation' mediator who helped bring peace to the Holy Land. Since then, he has become one of the most popular men in American public life. He reeclved more than 1,000 6peaking invitations in the three months after he returned from Palestine. He has accepted de grees from 13 colleges and uni versities and has turned down dozen more because he could not be at the college at the right time to accept the degree. In New York, he received the traditional open car welcome. His home town, Los Angeles, had a Kalph J. Bunche day. Color-Conscious When President Truman of fercd Bunche the post of Assist ant Secretary ol State in 1949, he declined because of his dis tuste for "color-conscious Wash ington." This was the highest government post ever offered to a Negro. "Success, I must confess," Bunche said, "had a sweeter taste because of color." As Palestine mediator, Bunche succeeded Count Folke Berna- dotte, who was assassinated in 1948. Bunche had the difficult task of bringing the Arabs and the Jews to agree upon a settle ment. Bunche had to overcome many of the rigid customs and codes of behavior that separated the Arabs and Jews, as well as the actual issues at stake. When he arrived on the isle of Rhodes to begin the discussions, he an rounced, "I'll never adjourn this meeting. I'll stay for ten years If necessary." The matter was finally settled NU Students Will Teach HS Music Dr. Arthur E.

After the agree ment was signed, Bunche pre sented each delegate with a piece of local pottery bearing the in scription: "Rhodes , Armistice Negotiations." He had purchased the pottery weeks before the final settleemnt. "What would you have done with all that stuff if we had failed," Bunche was asked by a delegate. "I'd have smashed the damn tnings over your neads, was Bunehe's reply. Bunche was credited by his staff as being one of the most tireless workers they had ever known. He would work until the early hours of the morning, then begin holding conferences again at ten o'clock in the morning. Scholar Bunche graduated from Jeffer son High School in Los Angeles as valedictorian of his class. At U.C.L.A., he won three scholar ships, a Phi Beta Kappa key, and summa cum laude honors.

Know Your College L anguages (This is the twelfth in a se ries of articles about the various schools, departments, and col leges within the University. The Daily Nebraskan is attempting to present the "dream" of the department, or its plans for ex pansion, either of facilities or of courses.) Language is the key to a man's heart. That is the opinion of Joseph E. A. Alexis, retiring chairman of the modern language depart ment. Through language, Alexis said, one can gain the under standing and share the ideas of people in other nations. The cre ation of this understanding, Ale xis said, is the aim of the Mod ern Language department. Languages have been taught at the University since its founding in 1871. . Seven languages are presently offered by the modem language department. Next fall, the present depart ment will be divided into two departments, the Romance lan guage and the Germanic lan guage departments. Prof. Boyd Carter will head the Romance language group which includes French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Prof. William Pfeiler will be chairman of the germanic group, with the German and Scandi navian languages taught in this I for train fare. The Negro com munity in Los Angeles raised $1,000 at a benefit to "send our Ralph to Harvard." When he re ceived his PhD from Harvard in 1934, he was the first Negro to be awarded a degree in political science. Educator Bunche founded the political science department at Howard university. He became head of the department, taking a leave of absence in 1941 when he went into government service. He worked with the Office of the Strategic Services in prepar ing intelligence surveys for the North African invasion. In June, 1943, he became chief of the African section of the OSS. Bunche was the first Negro to hold a "desk-job" in the state department when he began work on the trusteeship matters for the then-proposed United Nations. He wrote much of the trusteeship charter that is now Included in the charter. He now serves as Principal Director of the Depart ment of Trusteeships for the U.N. Immediately following the speech, Bunche will appear at public reception to be held in the Union lounge. Students and fac ulty members will have a chance to meet him. and to assist campus organiza tions with work that must be done during the regular vacation period. Working with the coordinator and the representatives of or ganizations will be a pool of workers selected from summer school students. They will assist gested by the activity groups in completing the work sug- lnvolved in the plan. The chairman will be chosen by the Student Council from ap plications and interviews, at its next meeting Wednesday, May 10. Applicants should include the following in their filing blanks: name, age, address, tele phone number, yaar in school, campus activities, approximate over-all average and reasons for desiring the position. They will be judged on availability, ex perience to carry out the duties of the office, interest and en thusiasm. Plan Directory. In addition to work on organi zation programs, the group will publish a summer student-faculty directory. Expenses for the summer's activity will be paid from directory proceeds and through assessments on campus organizations, based on the amount and type of work done for that group. The following organizations are expected to submit summer program lists and the name of a representative to work with the coordinator: Red Cross, Build ers, AUF, YWCA, YMCA, Coed Counselors, AWS, The Daily Ne braskan, The Cornhusker. Other groups that are interested in the project are asked to contact Mary Helen Mallory, 2-3287 or 2-3288, immediately. Tassel President Wins Area Post Shirley Allen is the newly elected secretary of Phi Sigma Chi, national pep organization. She was named to this post at the group's convention at Ames, Ia April 29. The convention was attended by members of chapters of coed pep organizations throughout the midwest. The Nebraska chapter is known locally as Tassels. Miss Allen was recently elected president of Tassels, and is as sisted by Janet Carr, vice presi dent, and Joel Bailey, secretary. Other of Miss Allen's activi ties include: corresponding sec retary of Student Council, mem ber of Coed Counselors, YWCA member, and vice president of Alpha Chi Omega. Phi Sigma Chi carries' on a discussion of various pep tech niques and problems at its con cention. group. The Slavic languages in cluding Russian and Czech will be under the Germanic language department for the present time. Both on the undergraduate and graduate levels, the modern language program has two prin ciple objectives. The first is to prepare students who want to achieve oral, visual, reading or writing proficiency in the lan guage. Another Is the study of the original manuscripts of the lit erature of countries whose cul tural traditions are linked with those of America. Much emphasis is placed upon oral proficiency. The Spanish, German and French labs are de signed for this purpose. These labs are equipped with a short wave radio, wire recorders, tape recorders and record players. In each there are 20 earphones for student use. By listening to re cordings and the radio students hear the correct pronunciation of the foreign words. "Spanish Only" Many of the language classes speak only in the tongue being studied. .Although this is at first confusing to students, Alexis said, they later gain greater pro ficiency in speaking. A number of films are? hown to students with an aim to pro viding greater speech efficiency, A special conversation section in i THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Ml '7l i lit .. l v -Lis HONOR COMPANY Miss Pat Berge, honorary commandant of the ROTC, presents the honor company award for top company week of April 27-May 3 to Company B Second Battalion com manded by Cadet Capt.

Language, Dr. Alexis said, provides a base for understand ing the thoughts of others in lands with differe-'eultures and heritages other than our own. Alexis, who has made ten trips to Europe expressed the opinion that the best way to learn about other people is to go abroad. For those who cannot, he said, the study of language offers an un derstanding. Much of the great literature of the world Is written in the Eur opean languages taught at the University. Much Of the thought of the literature is lost through translation. Honorary Group.
