Korean Push
Soon Walker
Paving the way for early con
gressional approval of Gen.
George C. Marshall's appoint
ment as new defense secretary
was continued Wednesday in a
senate armed services committee j
vote of 10-2, to waive legal ob
6tacles.
Action bv the senate as a
whole is expected Thursday in i
onswer to President Truman's j
plea for "early and favorable ac- i
tion" in the "present critical
circumstances."
Altho moving with less speed,
the house pushed forward also
to clear obstacles for the 69-year-old
soldier-statesman to enable
him to take over the country's
defense post as successor to
Secretary Louis Johnson.
Chief obstacle in approving
the appointment is the present
unification law prohibiting a mil
itary man to take the defense
job.
While the nation at home be
gin a fight for a new defense
leader the allied troops in the
Pacific received word that they
will soon launch the offensive
against the Korean war machine
which they have stalled for a
. month.
. In a fighting talk to his front
line troops Lt. Gen. Walton H.
Walker, Allied ground comman
der in Korea, said that the de
fense attitude was soon to be
abandoned. "As soon as we start
forward and break the crust in
front of us, the enemy will
fold," he said, pointing to a weak
ening of the enemy now.
Corresponding with the talk,
allied troops flattened the red
Korean bulge on the northeast
front in a triple-threat power
drive. Gains by the United Na
tions in a three-day offensive
were the greatest in nearly a
month,
Looking to the resignation of !
Defense Secretary Jonnson. uni-
ted States and foreign diplomats
at a big-three meeting in New
York saw a drive to strengthen'
Secretary of State Acheson in his
move to speed up organization of
a strong Atlantic alliance de
fense force in Western Europe.
With President Truman's ap
pointment of Gen. Marshall to
the post, full and vigorous sup
port of the Truman cabinet
without the frictions and delays
which have been attributed to
the so-called Johnson-Acheson
feud are expected to be elimina
ted. Shaking up was reported not
only in the United States how
ever. A new earthquake was re
ported Wednesday in Northern
Assam as being possibly more
violent than the one that took
5,000 lives in the same area a
month ago.
J54 Beanie
Blazes Trail
Over Campus
The fashion editor has just is
sued the following communique:
"Latest thing for freshman
wear ft the jaunty "beanie," that
stunning creation in felt. Color
of this little chapeau ls scarlet,
set off with numbered "54" in
white. A bare few inches in cir
cumference, this litte cap will
enchant atop your coiffure; it
will also cover that embarrassing
bald spot on older freshmen
males."
The freshman beanies are de
rigeur for ell campus newcom
ers, they may be obtained by
slipping 50c to any Innocent or
Coed counselor. They will give
the purchaser a card, which will
obtain one beanie at Ben Simons.
Tradition dictates th&t the
beanies musv be worn until the
homecoming football game. At
the halftime a tug-of-war be
tween the freshman and sopho
more classes will be held. If the
freshmen come out the losers,
'they must wear the caps until
the first snow flies.
In charge of the sales are Peg
Mulvaney of the Counselors and
Bob Mosher of the Innocents. So
far the Innocents have sold about
700 caps, with the Big Sisters
reporting 400 sales.
The Coed Counselors use prof
Its of the sales to support such
functions as the Penny Carni
val; the Innocents Society devotes
cules pror-ee s to functions such
on n-iH'p Tin- ntiH h SVnfih Hon
purchase. Students who do not
have identification cards at this
time will be required to present
a written statement from the
registrar.
As in the past, all organized
houses and groups wanting to sit
together must present identifica
tion cards at the same time, to
gether with the money covering
the required number of tickets.
At the time of the purchase
the individual student or group
representative will draw a num
ber from a special lottery box.
This number will designate the
order to be used in the actual
assignment of reserved seats to
the individual or group.
Students will sit on the east
side of the stadium, according to
A. J. Lewandowski, business
manager. Sections numbered 1,
2, 10 and 11 will be reserved
exclusively for students. Seats
! from Row 30 down, in sections
3 through 8, will also be reserved
for students.
Sales will continue to Satur-
day noon, Sept. 16.

Nebraska's student population
will decline about 12 per cent
this semester, Dr. George W.
Rosenlof, director of admissions,
estimated Wednesday on the
basis of completed registrations.
Rosenlof estimated that be
tween 7500 and 7800 students
would attend school this semes
ter as compared to 9000 for the
same period last year. About
4000 students had completed
registration Wednesday, with
about 5500 at the same time a
year ago.
Many students who started
their registration in the spring
have failed to complete the pro
cedure this fall, Rosenlof said.
3000 Graduates
During 1950, nearly 3000 stu
dents graduated from the Uni
versity. There have been approx
imately 1500 new registrations
received by the University. There
are about 400 transfer students.
Thus a deficit of about 1100 stu
dents from last fall is expected.
Nebraska's veteran student
seems due for a drop, since only
1200 veterans have registered.
About 1700 were enrolled last
semester. This
was a greater
drop than expected, Rosenlof
said.
Foreign students on the cam-
pus will be about as numerous
as las-t vear. Rnsenlof sid About
150 are expected to enroll this
year. Two new exchange students
from Switzerland are expected
to arrive soon to attend school.
They will join two exchange
students who have been attend
