VOL. 51 NO. 3 Monday, September 18, l&fo LINCOLN 8, NEBRASKA Combined Enrollment Figures Rise Frosh Hop To Acquaint Defense Students With ivities To 6900 Act Prop osed Plan Includes U.S.. Germany Secretary of State DeanAcheson has presented to the North At lantic council an American pro posal for the defense of western Europe. Highlight of the plan is inclusion of both American and German military contingents in a single unified force. Acheson is understood to have described the proposition as rev olutionary in American foreign policy. It also calls for a supreme effort by all 11 other Atlantic treaty nations to raise and equip their own military contingents for the prospective new international body. While Acheson introduced the new proposition, in Washington congress approved 47 to 21 a spe cial new law permitting Gen George C. Marshall to take over the civilian post of secretary of defense. The final vote overrode stormy republican protests. Nebraskans' Votes Rep. O'Sullivan of Nebraska voted to permit General Marshall to accept the post; Representatives Curtis. Stefan and Miller and Senators Wherry and Butler voted against the proposal. Many World War II posts and camps that have been in moth balls for several years will again see live action. According to Army Secretary Frank C. Pace Jr., the defense department "very definitely" plans to reactivate many pi these camps and posts. Some camps that have been de clared surplus and sold would also be "recaptured." When the first news of the American landing at Inchon reached this country, it was the work of Associated Press Corre spondent Bill Shinn, former Has tings college student. Studies at Hastings Shinn, a North Korean, also has the name Shin Who Bong. He studied at Hastings for two years on a scholarship. The United States has more em bassy officials in Russia than the Soviet has in this country. That's what the state department has told congress. Department officials testified that the official U.S. government representation in Moscow now totals 98 persons 12 more than the Soviet government has in Washington. Fighting over the Korean war is not confined to Korean borders. The republican national chairman said Friday that the GOP can win the Nov. 7 election on this war issue even if the war ends in a United Nations' victory before then. Guy G. Gabrielson said that even if Friday's U. S. invasion leads to a quick peace "the people are still sore about how we got into war in the first place." Med School Appli lication Deadline Set All applications for entrance to any accredited medical col lege in 1951 must be in by Dec. 1. Dr. Eugene F. Powell, pre-med advisor, announced that those students who are interested in 1951 fall enrollment should see him as soon as possible. According to Dr. Powell, it is Imperative that the Dec. 1 dead line be met, because all accep tances to med college will be out by March 1.

Welcoming them are, from left to right, Mrs. Pruell, Capt. Pruell, Mrs. Gustavson, Chancellor Gustavson, Marilyn Campfield and Rob Raun. AUF Pushes Drive For $5000 Goal Nearly one-fifth of the goal has been reached in the All Uni versity fund's campaign for so licitations. Jo Lisher, AUF director, stated that since campus solicitations began last spring, a total of $750 has been collected. The goal for the 1950-51 drive is $5,000. Students have made their con tributions to the University char ity group, at booths located at different campus points. Fnr npw ctnHpntc anH fr:h- man of the University who are not acquainted with AUF, Lisher wished to remind them that the organization is the only one of its kind on campus. It was or ganized to protect students from constant solicitation by all of the important University-recognized welfare agencies, such as Com munity Chest, World Student Service fund, Red Cross, Infan tile Paralysis fund and others which aid the needy. A new method of collection is being tried out this year. It is part of a new system set up last spring to insure a more effective drive this yea.-. This means that students may simply pledge a certain amount to AUF now or any time between now and the end of the year. The amount pledged will not be due until Feb. 25, 1951. Miss Lisher urged all Univer sity students to remember that AUF represents many worth while charity and public aid or ganizations and that their one donation this year will make up for five or six contributions which they would otherwise make during the year. Debate Squad Meeting Set For Thursday Activities of the University de bate squad will begin Thursday with a meeting of all those in terested in intercollegiate debate this school year. The meeting will be Thursday at 7:15 p.m., Room 203 of the Temple. All University students, regardless of previous experience, who are interested in participat ing in debate activities, are in? vited to attend, according to Donald Olson, director of Uni versity debate. Question for debate is: Re solved: That non-communistic countries form a new interna tional organization. About ten veterans from last year's squad will return this year. Because of the small num ber of returning debaters, said Olson, there will be a lot of op portunity for new squad mem bers to participate in actual in tercollegiate conferences. Speaking about the question, Olson said that it "certainly ought to be a live one." "It was made pertinent especially," he continued, "by Herbert Hoover's speech some time ago advocating its organization. Many people immediately expressed opposition against it." First actual public debating of the year will be at the University of Kansas at Lawrence, Oct. 14, when Doris Carlson and Joan Krueger, sophomore debaters, participate in an exhibition de bate before Kansas state high school students attending the conference at that university. Olson will also speak at the conference. Kansas Debate ' Carlson and Krueger will up hold the atfirmative side of the national high school debate ques tion which is: Resolved: That the American people reject the wel fare state. Coaching debate this year will be Olson and Bruce Kendall. Following the meeting Thursday, discussions will begin of the col- lege question ln order to give I debaters background information.

Replacements Of ID Cards Noiv Available New ID cards to replace lost ones will be issued starting Mon day at the Office of the Comp troller in the Administration building, announced John Sel leck, University comptroller. Students who have lost orig inal ID cards sent to them this summer or given them during fall registration, or who, for some reason, did not receive them, can obtain a replacement iiiciii, tail uuLuni a j cji(ilcjjicul upon payment of a $1 fee. Stu- dents who have never received ID cards will not be required to pay the extra fee if the office can find the error. According to Sclleck, in answer to several complaints about the delay in issuing additional ID cards, the cards were not avail able to students previous to now because of the football season ticket campaign. Selleck said the action was followed this year and last in view of the circumstances two years ago when the office is sued cards upon demand. Stu dents used the extra cards merely to purchase additional football tickets. As a result the athletic de partment did not have enough season tickets for students and many were forced to sit on the cinders. "Editorials in The Daily ..vu,t..,ni,,i en uioi "'"-i continued, "strongly protested against the situation." fhe athletic department had laid aside only enough tickets for the number of students en rolled in the University and con sequently ran short whui so many students presented ID cards for tickets. The present procedure, Sel leck said, is followed to protect t' o majority of University stu dents from the small group which would take advantage of the situation.

Hoover stressed that the in structors consent must be ob tained before any change is made. This, briefly, is the system each !student should follow in dropping jana aaaing: 1.

First Tryouts For 'Antigone' Start Sept. 20 Tryouts for "Antigone," re cent Broadway production, will begin Wednesday. Dean Graunke, director of the first production of the University Theatr, said that tryouts will be held Wed nesday, 3 to 5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m., and continue to Thursday, 7 to 9 p.m. in Room 201, Temple. The story is based on the Greek myth of Antigone, a Greek maiden, and Edopus, her father. As a child Edopus was abandoned on a mountain to die because the gods thought that he would harm many people if allowed to grow up and freely roam the earth. He escapes however and grows to manhood only to return and kill his father. Marries Mother Edopus marries his mother not knowing she is his real mother. She bears him two sons, Eteocles and Polynices, and two daughters, Antigone and Isnene. After the death of Edopus, his two sons were to take over the rule of the property, each rul-" ing every other year. When Eteocles became the ruler he did not want to give it up; the brothers declared war on each other and both were killed in the battle. Creon, Edopus' brother and new regent of Thebes orders that Eteocles be given a burial of honor and that Polynices be left for the vultures. The punishment for anyone interfering in the at tempt to get a proper burial for Polynices is death. Becomes Martyr Antigone attempts to bury the body and is caught by Creon. As a true martyr she becomes known for her good only after her death. The adaptation that will be used was first displayed in Paris in 1945 and 1946, during the German occupation. A few re visions had to be made at that time because of the marked like ness of the dictatorship of Creon to that of Hitler. The modern setting will be used here with formal attire during the hour and 40 minute continuous perform ance. The cast is composed of eight men and four women.
