-I k .1 i t I ( j j It . , '1' r. V PAGE 2 o , Coinniinniiiitt midland college at Fremont has initiated a plan which vney hope will suppress communism on the campuses of America. The plan calls for a pledge by all students in the United States "to allow no berth for communism on the campuses of our universities and colleges." Begun by "The Midland," the school's weekly paper, the appeal to students is hoped to influence a national movement. To further this goal copies of the first issue of "The Midland" have been circulated to Gov. Val Peterson, nationally-known com mentators and columnists, and high government officials including President Truman. The movement is in its infancy. If it accomplishes it5 hope to spread throughout the United States 'within the next six months to a year, and if it accomplishes its ad mirable purpose, Midland college will enjoy a great deal of well-earned praise. We firmly believe in the aim of this plan. We are, just as every other American student should be, against any subversive activity in the United States and especially in the University where we spend most of year. No one but a communist would believe otherwise. But the execution of the movement raises some ques tion in our minds. Suppressing communism is not as easy as signing- a pledge. A communist would be one of the first to join such a movement for the sake of keeping his affilia tion with his party a secret. Newspaper accounts of the un American activities trials will show that a communist be lieves the end justifies the means. It is not beneath his dignity to lie or perjure himself it if means furthering the aims of the party. The pledge would also involve those who were not communists but believed strongly in freedom of political beliefs. The University of California discovered this com plication when they demanded loyalty oaths of all faculty members. Many California teachers refused to sign the oath, not because they believed in communism but because they believed such action jeopardizes academic freedom. Our remarks on the execution of the plan are not con cerned with tomorrow's signatures. We are looking ahead to the time when every student and every faculty member will be required to sign the pledge in order that a college or university can become one of the movement's members. And because we do not believe the movement would accomplish its objective, even though we are stronelv in favor of its aim, we question whether the University would profit by approving the movement and becoming one of its supporters.

Dear Cornhuskers, We do hope you are listening, for what we have to announce is very much worthwhile. 1 If a war-ravaged student from some foreign land, with a d just as eager and capable as ours, were to sit across your desk 1 tell you the mess he is in, you would burst with pardonable priae as you gave him a ten-jpot, 25, 5, or even just a couple of dollars. But, as it is, he cannot even get a book, let alone come to see you . . . ... which does not stop us well-fed, book supplied Cornhuskers from helping thousands of those boys and girls just the same. You and I do not care about the fellow student for whom the lights have gone out. We are announcing to you the campaign of AUF All University Fund. This is the chance for all University students, all instructors, all employes to join in one happy contribution to help others get an education. More than 50 per cent of every gift goes to the aid of students receiving assistance through WSSF World Student Service Fund. A part of your gift is used to rehabilitate afflicted by infantile paralysis, and a small part goes to the Community Chest to back up its contribution to campus organizations. During the next few weeks you will be solicited by a student who is giving both money and a lot of time. Please cooperate cor dially, and sign your pledge card for just as large an amount as you find it in your heart to give. You can pay this money either in installments before Feb. 25, 1951 or the total amount at once. Remember, this is AUF, the only campus solicitation that will be made of you all year. Please join the rest of us in generous help to those students of today who will lead the nations of tomorrow to be at peace with the world. We are counting on you, and thank you sincerely. , Faithfully yours, Jo Lisher, AUF director. Sarah Fulton, head solicitor Adele Coryell, faculty solicitation.

They sailed to Pearl Harbor, then back to San Diego and San Francisco Bay. During the cruise, the midshipmen were trained at operations, gunnery and engineering, with a two week period spent at each. ( The students were aboard the heavy cruiser "St. Paul," the jeep aircraft carrier "Bandoeng Straits," and four escorting de stroyers. A liberal amount of shore leave permitted the bud ding officers to enjoy such items as Tijuana, Mexico, night-life and outrigger canoe races at Ha waii's Wakiki Beach. The cruise ended on a serious note with the outbreak of war in Korea. The cruiser headed for dry-dock, while the carrier sailed westward with a load of planes.

By RED RIGGS Well, here it is another year. and everyone is sitting around either excited cr bored, depending upon their year in school, and thinking about activities, one way or another, and so on. In way of in troduction, it might be well to say that this is all about the Union, the big brick barn on "R" Street. If you are in terested, you can come over and sign up to get into the Riggs who feel thing. Freshmen as though they could stand some extra-curricular work may apply tor a chance to do some interest ing work in the Union worker pool. All that they have to do is to come over and fill out a card. Nothing to it and, kiddies, there's lots of points to be had. As for upperclassmen, if they have worked for the Union before, they know what a kick it is, and their applications will also be ac cepted early next week. The big event that the activities committee is presenting this week is, of course, the Frosh Hop, which is co-sponsored by the Innocents. This event, which is for the fresh men who would like to get ac quainted with each other, is really not too bad. In fact, there are times when the stag line exceeds the bounds of good taste.

The unit is now helping to form Junior Red Cross units in Lincoln high Schools. Host to Convention One highlight of the college unit's activities last year was the convention for other midwestern college units. States attending the two-day convention at Ne braska were Wyoming, Colo rado, Iowa, Kansas and Mis souri. Mosher, as president of the college unit, supervises the work of the following board members: Joan Hanson, Miriam Willey, Sharon Fritzler, Sally Krause, Kathy Swingle, George Wilcox, Betty Dee Weaver, Pat Nolan, Pat Weidman, Chuck Wedmaier, Ken Henkins, Gladys Novotny, Sara Sage and Bill Dugan.

Last year Miss Rosenbaum, former president of RCCU, was elected to the board of directors of the Lancaster county chapter of the American Red Cross. This was the first time a University coed had re ceived the postion. Gene Berg, founder of the Nebraska unit and its first pres ident, attended the National Red Cross convention in Detroit last summer.

Last May the college unit as sisted in flood rescue work in Lincoln. A group of volunteers headed by Mosher worked all night evacuating flood victims and caring for rescued persons. They transported trucks, cots -. and other emergency equipment from the University to tempo rary Red Cross headquarters at Park School. Hanson Directs The veterans hospital project is under the direction of Joan Hanson. Last year Miss Hanson and Bill Hemke produced a bi weekly two hour radio show at the hospital. The musical re quest program was broadcast to the entire hospital over the ra dio system. According to Miss Hanson: "The system at Vet's is com parable to that of a 250 watt radio station. The Red Cross volunteer is his own engineer. The equipment consists of the 'Board,' two dual speed turn tables and a makeshift trans mitter that receives and trans mits to the patients and to vari ous parts of the hospital."
