Dean Thompson Questions
Midland Action on Commies
Editor's Note: . This story ap
peared in the first issue of "The
Midland," school paper of Mid
land college at Fremont It was
circulated over the nation in an
effort to enlist colleges and uni
versities in the cause of sup
pressing communism on Ameri
can campuses.)
The suppression of reds on
American campuses has reached
headlines in Nebraska.
A delegation from Midland
college at Fremont arrived last
week in Lincoln to solicit support
for what they hope will be a na
tionwide movement to suppress
communism on college campuses.
The students presented Gov.
Val Peterson with a copy of "The
Midland," campus paper, con
taining an appeal to students of
other universities and colleges to
join the movement. The Daily
Nebraskan carried an editorial
concerning the movement in
Monday's edition.
T. J. Thompson, dean of stu
dent affairs, commenting on
'The Midland" action, agreed
with viewpoints discussed in
Monday's editorial. Dean
Thompson pointed out that he is
vitally interested in uprooting
any subversive elements on uni
versity campus, but he "doesn't
know how much good this action
will do."

10 Easy Rules
On Techniques
Of a Fraud
Want to be classified around
the campus as a fraud? Follow
the following ten rules- and you
will have the correct technique.
1. Briny the professor news
paper clippings dealing with
his subject. Demonstrate fiery
interest and give him timely
items to mention to the class
If you can't find clippings
dealiing with his subject, bring
in aay clippings at random. He
thinks everything deals with
his subject.
2. Look alert Take notes
eagerly. If you look at your
watch, dont stare at it unbelie
vingly and shake it.
3. Nod frequently and murmer
"How true!" To you, thisseems
exaggerated. To him, it's quite .
objective.
4. Sit in front, near him (Ap
plies only if you intend to stay
awake.) If you're going to all the
trouble of making a good impres
sion, you might as well let him
know who you are, especially in
a large dlass.
5. Laugh at his jokes. You can
telL If he looks up from his
notes and smiles expectantly,
he has told a joke.
6. Ask for outside reading. You
don't have to read it. Just ask.
J. If you must sleep, arrange
to be called at the end of the
hour. It creates an unfavorable
impression if the rest of the
class has left and you sit there
alone, dozing.
8. Be sure the book you read
during the lecture looks like a
book from the course. If you do
math in psychology class and
psychology in math class, match
the books for size and color.
9. Ask any questions you think
he can answer. Conversely
avoid announcir.- that you
have found the answer, and in
your younger brother's second
grade reader at that
10. Call attention to his writing.
Produces an exquisitely pleasant
experience connected with you.
If you know he's written a book
or an artidle. ask in class if he
wrote it
As to whether or not you want
to do some work, in addition

"Sane But Sure" Method
Dean Thompson continued that
he has no quarrel with any ac
tion that might do some good,
but he wants a "sane but sure"
method. , Action such that Mid
land has started merely creates
more controversy on the type of
methods which should be used
to suppress communism, he
added.
About 2,400 copies of The pa

Text of Letter
The letter printed in "The
Midland" is as follows:
"Insidious, poisonous tentacles
are seeking to pierce the life
blood of humanity. These ten
tacles reach out through the
cover of night. They attempt to
put an end to freedoms which
man, for centuries, has struggled
to attain.
"Their poisons undergird a
regimentation of humanity. That
regimentation seeks a viewpoint
motivated by mob rule.
"That mob shall not rule! It
seeks to destroy liberty. It aims
to annihilate religion. It plans
to put fanaticism in the seat of
government
"Communism shall neither
spread its tentaeles nor its poi
son! World conquest is its aim.
Division is its only form of
mathematics.
As Americans, ours is a great
heritage; a heritage of free
speech, trial by jury, the right to
own property and the right to
advance ourselves according to
our God given abilities.
"We, the students on the cam
puses and universities of our
land, must dedicate ourselves to
a great task. We must destroy
that which would destroy."
Americanism Carries Obligations
"To be an American carries
with it many obligations.
"The efforts of all of us mean
the survival of our way of life.
We must rededicate ourselves to
our obligations as free thinking,
free acting citizens.
"There is no royal road to free
dom." "To have freedom means sac
rifice, hard work, understanding
patience, unquestionably loyalty
and unceasing faith in that
which is ours America."
"Let us put undivided faith in
the President of these United
States, sustaining him as we
knc..- God Almighty' shall!
"Let us, the combined univer
sity men and women throughout
our land, ioin hands. Let our
hands, so joined, form an insur
mountable barrier to stop, now,
those tentacles, those poisons
communism."
"For communism shall have
no berth on the campuses of our
universities and colleges!"

World Student Congress
Decries U.S. Intervention
While United Nations forces
were fighting back at Commu
nist aggression in Korea last
August, the second World Stu
dent Congress in Prague,
Czechoslovakia was calling for
an end to American interven
tion. The congress was sponsored
by the International Union of
Students. Speeches made at the
meeting, resolutions passed, all
closely followed what has been
named "the (Communist) party
line." Bob Lyhne, University of
California student, was on hand
to observe what went on.
"World peace was the theme,"
reports Lyhne in the "Daily
Californian". "All speakers call
ed for full support of the Stock
holm Peace Appeal, an end to
American intervention in Kor
ea and Southeast Asia, and an
end to imperialism everywhere,"
The "Stockholm Peace Pledge"
has been called a piece of com
munist propoganda. To counter
it the West has produced the
"Crusade for Freedom" drive.
Lyhne further stated, "The
struggle for peace to be the
main resolution declared the

bomb and general reduction of
all armaments. . . and to increase
the collection of signatures to the
Stockholm Peace appeal."
"The congress earlier approved
the report of President Josef
Grohmann," Lyhne continues in
the "Daily Californian." "The re
port contained an outspoken
attack on United States war
preparations, the Marshall plan
and the North Atlantic pact, and
a pat on the back for the Soviet
Union. The student peace move
ment was applauded; a word of
encouragement was given for the
peoples fighting imperialism in
Malaya, Burma, Viet Nam, and
Indonesia."
Although the congress sponsor,
the International Union of Stu
dents, is apparently Communist
dominated, it contains some
more independent groups of
students from western nations.
Noted the observer, "There were
attacks on the 'splitters' and
'disrupters' of international stu
dent unity, aimed principally at
leaders of the National Unions
of Students of various western
countries."
Concluded Bob Lyhne, "it was
a highly emotional gathering,
with spontanious demonstrations
sometimes lasting as long as half
an hour. Generally the represen
tatives of the large western
groups sat on their hands during
such shows. Other delegates
stood on their chairs, clapped in
unison, presented flowers to the
speaker, then carried him around
on their shoulders and chanted
such slosans as 'Hands off Kor
ea. We Want Peace' and 'Stalin,

Frenchman-Cambridge Plan
Approximately 300 farmers in
the Republican Valley last week
had an opportunity to see the re
sults of the first farm in the val
ley getting water under the
Frenchman-Cambridge develop
ment plan.
The farm owned and operated
by Mac Anderson, one-half mile
north of Arapahoe has 90 acres
under irrigation in alfalfa and
corn. Irrigation work in the farm
is being carried on cooperatively
by Mr. Anderson, Bureau of Rec
lamation, Soil Conservation ser
vice, the Nebraska Cooperative

coordinated by James R. Barker,

engineer.

Mr. Barker has had many years

mal. They really do it up in fine
style, the girls in old-fashioned
square dance, outfits and the
fellows in the typical jean and
plaid shirt combination. So, put
that down in your little black

Another highlight of this
month is the Union Halloween
party: That horror chamber is
enough to give anyone the creeps
and chills for a month to come!
Of course there's a dance in the
Union ballroom following that
horror chamber initiation. Loads
of fun for all, so see you October
28th.
While the gang on city cam
pus are whooping it up, the
aggies get in their share of
laughs at Coll-Agri-Fun Night.
Homecoming Hubbub . .
Oldsters and youngsters alike
look forward to homecoming and
all of its hubbub. This is the
time when every organized house
I on campus goes all-out in com-
der Nebraska conditions is
something entirely different from
the western states.
Mr. Barker said one big prob
lem is to get the soil to take the'
water. Experiments shbw.it takes
uo to 72 hours to get the soil to
take four inches of water. He has
found a small stream of water
will give better results with less
soil erosion than a heavier
stream. Measuring devices are
used to determine the amount of
water added, the water intake
and run off. If the run off is too
great the water is not being
taken up fast enough and the
size of the stream is cut down.
Irrigation, said Mr. Barker, is
a full time job and one that can
not be "put off" for farm chores
or other farm jobs. Consequently
more labor is required than on
dry land farms. But, adds Mr.
Barker, irrigating can be a plea
sure, and certainly nothing to
fear. Irrigating is especially grat
ifying because of the increase in
farm income.
Irrigation "Pays"
Mr. Barker said that irrigation
has paid even in a wet year like
1950. He cited the yield in both
corn and alfalfa at the develop
ment farm. As for the irrigated
alfalfa there will be four cuttings
with an estimated yield of seven
tons per acre. That's compared
with the three cuttings in the
non-irrigated alfalfa with a re
turn of only 3.14 tons per acre
a gain of almost four tons per
acre for the irrigated alfalfa ov
er the non-irrigated.
As for the estimated corn yield,
Mr. Barker says "if frost holds
off for two weeks the irrigated
corn "will easily" go 100 bushels
to the acre. Estimated figure for
the dry land corn is 50 bushels.
Irrigated corn, he said, should be
planted earlier in the spring to
eliminate the frost worry.
Mr. Barker is optimistic over
the prospects of irrigation for the
Republican valley, backing this
statement up with the results
shown on the Anderson farm.

Opening the formal season on
December 1st is the Military ball,
a truly big event. It's really
breathtaking to watch the color
guard review, the crack squad
performance, and the ' grand
march of the officers and their
ladies. It is then that the Hon- ,
orary Commandant and Honor
ary Colonel are named a thrill
ing event, too. It's always a good
time for everyone, dancing to the
music of a big name band in the
Coliseum.
Turn about, fair play comes
the very next weekend when

There'll be a good combo, and

worldly-minded people there's
