Tingu F. Tsiang, nationalist delegate, made the charge before the United Nations general as sembly after Yugoslav Foreign Minister Edward Kardelj urged that hostilities in Korea cease when U.

War Powers With the outbreak of war in Korea, the senate and house with almost no hesitation, gave r4 the president war powers over the nation's resources, plus bil lions more for the fighting and to add new strength to the arms of this and other free nations. Among measures receiving a frown were President Truman's repeal of the Taft-Hartley law, the controversial Brannan plan, compulsory health insurance, federal aid to education and civil rights.

Organized in 1904 at the Uni versity of Wisconsin, Scabbard and Blade now has nearly one hundred companies in organiza tion. It made its appearance on the University campus in 1921. Originally this group sponsored It took 20 years to get started, but now College Days is receiv ing enthusiastic and helpful support from University officials and organizations. A Builders sponsored project, the three day celebration first gained attention in about 1930 when students and faculty be gan to realize the value of an event which would acquaint the public with the University. The Faculty Senate approval of a similar plan in March 1931 has been equalled by enthusiasm of campus leader and officials today. Introduction of the plan has resulted in immediate back ing and help. Rob Raun, president of Inno cents, says: " I'm all for it. And, the Innocents will do all they can to push it." One of The Best Raun thinks it is one of the best ideas as far as activities are concerned that has ever "hit the campus."

Support After 20 Years Bob Mosher, president of Red Cross, in a letter to Gene Berg, Builders president, wrote that "we think this is a wonderful plan and we wish you the best of luck with it." Mosher said that the Red Cross will cooperate in any way with College Days. "It's a strong selling point for the University," says Genene GrimmK Union activities director. The popular Kansas Relays draw not only Kansans, but residents of southern Nebraska." That's a similar event to College Days," she pointed out. Union Approves Mrs. Grimm said that the plan was "marvelous," and the Build ers could count on support from the Union. An open house would be held, she continued, and big dances planned. The Union will arrange for catering services and food, and carry on a continual program. According to Dean T.

Anyone who is interested in membership in the University YMCA is invited to join during the current membership drive. Information about the YM may be secured from its offices in the Temple building. Rising Prices Cup of Coffee "How about a tup of coffee?" This query, familiar to many a student, now brings with it the startling realization that the nickel cup of coffee has become a thing of the past. Thus, with rising prices and overhead as well, those frequented handouts around campus have been forced to increase the ante on one of its most popular drinks. Uni Sundries, the high school and college haunt, is charging ten cents a cup. Mr. Jack Kindsuater, cashier, remarked, "most of the kids are accepting the price rise fairly well. They seem to realize that there is a definite inflation not only with coffee, but with cream and wages as well."x Mr. Kirtsuater also commented that coke and phosphate sales had made a climb upwards, while coffee orders had decreased slightly. New Angle At the Campus Inn, haven of the midmorning and midafter n o o n coffee enthusiasts, Mr. Wayne J. Schammel put a new angle on the situation. He says, 'by popular request, we raised coffee to a dime. The students don't like to fiddle around with pennies, I guess. Some of them have asked me, when are you going to haul out your gun and start marching?,' but aside from joking, I've received very few complaints." Mr. Schammel added that cof fee was the commodity that had shown the greatest jump in price anywhere, and that married stu dents who have to buy it are most understanding. Going to the south edge of Thompson, if the College Days are carried out, they would cer tainly benefit the University. "The idea appeals to me," he said. The plans will certainly get a "respected hearing" at the meet ing soon of the deans of col leges, he continued. "It is a sell ing proposition as far as the students are concerned." Aid Prep Students One outstanding importance of such a project, he said, is that it would acquaint high school students to the University, its colleges and opportunities. When the Senate Faculty committee approved the similar plant in 1931, it wrote that it realized how important such a project could be toward promot ing loyalty to the University, and a better relationship between students and faculty. It would also aid students of one college in becoming acquainted in an-oher. Dr. Hanson .Swine Expert Rescgns Post At Ag College Dr. Lester E. Hanson, one of the nation's leading authorities in the field of swine nutrition, is resigning from the University faculty, effective October 1. He will accept a position at the University of Minnesota. He came to Nebraska in 1940 from Cornell University. Dr. Hanson will be succeeded in the University's Animal Husbandry department by Dr. Merle J. Brinegar. Dr. Hanson is widely known for his research work at the University. His fundamental studies in swine nutrition have attracted wide attention. Dr. Brinegar, his successor, is a native of Nebraska. He received his Doctor's degree at Cornell University. He graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1947 with a Bachelor of Science degree. His graduate work has been in the field of animal nutri tion. He has several research publications to his credit. Korean Student to Speak Before Cosmopolitan Club Suk Soon Suh, University student from Korea, will address the Cosmoplitan club Wednes day evening. Anyone interested is invited to attend. The Cosmoplitan club, organi zation of foreign students on the campus, meets every Wednesday in room 315 Union at 7:30 p.m. Club President Juergen an nounces that Mr. Suh will at tempt to answer any question raised at the meeting relative to his homeland. Make Nickel Thing of Past the campus there is Brick's Ham burger Ship with its "Rogue's Gallery" of football personalities. "Brick" Willis, proprietor con tends, "I could sell coffee for a dime, but the seven-cent cup seems to go over pretty big with the people that come in here. It is still my cheapest drink, so I've received very few com plaints. Once in awhile, someone will ask, 'what's the deal?' but it's very seldom." Royal's Snack Next door to the Temple building. Royal's Snack gets its share of speech and music ma jors. "We charge' seven cents for coffee because we feel we're be ing fair to the student that way," puts in Mrs. Royal Helzer, the owner's wife. "The extra pennies are a nuisance," she admits, "but my husband and I feel we're do ing the best thing under the cir cumstances." In the calm, quiet atmosphere at Hermie's "N", the law and architecture students talk over the events of the day. Abe Willis, co-operator with Mr. Hermie Rohrig declares, "1 have had very few gripes on the 'upped' coifea price. I'm going to stick to the seven-cent deal as long as I can, because I know that for college kids money sometimes doesn't come so easily. I want to give them a fair deal." From here on out, kiddies, it looks as though everyone's go ing to have to wake up to facts when they slap down that cof fee nickel on the counter and the cashier lashes out, "Hey, bud die, How about those extra pennies?" Ti : HEADS COLLEGE DAYS Gene Berg, as president of Builders, is in charge of the three day celebration in the spring. Marine Call Activates 33 NU Students Thirty-three University stu dents were affected Monday by the announcement that activa tion orders for Marine Fighting Squadron 113, based at the Lin coln Naval Air Station, were in the mail. Monday's announcement came from Capt. James L. Cooper, acting commanding officer of the Marine detachment at the air base. As announced earlier, the or ders will direct the men to report to the air station Monday, Oct. 16, for extended active duty. Maj. Sumner J. House, Nebraska political science instructor, is commanding officer of the squadron. After the men report to the air station, further orders con cerning transportation and de ployment to various duty stations will be issued by the comman dant of the Marine Air Reserve. Vets and Non-Vets "It is expected that the men affected by the activation of VMF-113 will depart from Lin coln sometime around the last of October," Capt. Cooper reported. The "Whistling Devil" squad ron is composed of veterans and non-veterans who have been at tending monthly drills at the air station. The unit was commis sioned in June, 1949. Although many members of the unit achieved outstanding records in the last war, many of the men will be going on active duty with a service unit for the first time. Ready for Combat "In any event, the squadron is ready to go into combat as a team because of the valuable training it had recieved in the Marine Air Station training pro gram," Maj. House said. A few openings still remain in the squadron and men can still join the unit until it is activated, Maj. House said Monday. Any veteran of any branch of the service, as well as non-veterans, may join the squadron, Maj. House stressed. Partial list Although the actual number of men called to active duty or their destination after leaving Lincoln cannot be disclosed be cause of security reasons, a partial list of Cornhusker stu dents involved includes: Cpl.

If these unemployed workers register with the council, houses needing help will be able to contact them more easily, Bob Parker, . president of the council, said. Student health was invited to make an inspection of fraternity kitchens on campus to check on sanitary conditions. This is mere ly a routine check, Parker said. The inspection will take place some time soon. Event Will Portray Phases of N U Life College Days a three day campus celebration, por traying each phase of University life. First time each college, department, faculty member, student and organization have combined to present such a panorama. A jam-packed program which will require planning by several hundred students. A colorful occasion which will demand attention not of only the University, but of Lincoln and Nebraska residents. This describes College Days, a University Builders sponsored project, which will be a combina tion of the University of Colo rado's CU Days, and Iowa State's Veishea. The celebration, tentatively scheduled . for April 26 to 28, would include programs and con tributions from every phase of University life. Preliminary Plans Preliminary plans have re ceived the approval of top ad ministrative officials, Chancellor R. G. Gustavson, Dean Carl W. Borgmann and Dean T. J. Thompson. Leaders of campus or ganizations have noted and ex pressed approval of present plans. Invited will be all University students, faculty members, alumni, a group of outstanding high school students and special guests. According to Gene Berg, Build ers president in charge of the project, the organization hopes to encourage, by means of College Days, an interest in every college and department in the University. "Like Veishea," points out Berg, "emphasis will be on the educational side of college. How ever, the fun and athletics of college will not be neglected in the three days. Students, faculty and friends will be acquainted to colleges, fun, activities and sports. Alumni Interest In addition, the project will seek to publicize the University to Nebraska high schools by hav ing the outstanding students present for the event. Alumni in terest may be sparked by College Days, says Berg, and University spirit should be boosted. "It is by far the largest project ever undertaken by Builders," says Berg, "and one of the largest even entertained by the Univer sity." Each college will be respon sible for open house, and the or ganization and planning of its events. Organized houses on cam pus will be urged to hold open houses. Exhibits and displays of various types will be encouraged. One feature being planned is a production by the University Theatre. Orchesis and pre-or-chesis will be asked to give re citals and the University sym phony orchestra, the band and University Singers will be in cluded on the program. Kosmet Klub will be asked to give a show. Besides these, plans are being formulated to have a big name band play for a dance in the Coliseum during the celebration. Attempts will be made also to have a big name concert artist present to give a concert. Big Parade "A big parade which will in clude all organizations, colleges and organized houses is being considered," continues the Build ers' president. There is a possi bility of an outdoor pageant in the stadium. College Day planners want a continual program of activities at the Union, a special edition of The Daily Nebraskan and an in ternational program. The celebration is scheduled for the same weekend as Farm er's Fair and Engineer's week. According to Berg, attempts will be made to co-ordinate these events with the all-University program. Those who attend the festival will see just how different classes and departments operate. Model classrooms will meet and there will be displays, movies, demon strations, programs and exhibits of the college's works. University Cooperation Berg is asking the help and co operation of all phases of the University. Dean Thompson will call a meeting in the next couple weeks of all deans of colleges to discuss the plans. All organized houses will be asked to cooperate in the College Days. An overall central committee will form the nucleus of College Days. It will supervise activities of the many student-faculty com mittees that will be necessary. Anyone interested in assisting the Builders should contact Gene Berg, Builders office, Union. No name for the three day cele bration has been chosen yet. The events will be a combination of the similar celebration at Colo rado and Veishea. The project is a part of the University Builders program to help "build the University," says Berg. "We hope it gains as great a reception as Veishea." Several thousand attend the Iowa festival. In addition to the College Days project, the Builders will carry out regularly scheduled projects and publications as it has in past years. UN Week Will Start October 17 NUCWA Names Program Heads Plans for observance of United Nations week on the University campus are being formulated. To be held Oct. 17-24, the program will include convoca tions, discussions in organized hourses, a coffee hour and the International Friendship dinner. Harold Peterson, president ot NUCWA, has appointed Joan Jones and Marilyn Coupe as co chairmen of the week's activities. They will work in cooperation with Cosmopolitan club and Religious Welfare council mem bers. An annual Nebraska Univer sity Council for World Affairs project, the week will make, by the use of posters, exhibits and radio time, the University and Nebraskans "UN conscious." A committee to work under Miss Coupe and Miss Jones has been selected consisting of Stan Jones, Ruth Sorensen and Jim Wamsley. Other committees will be appointed later. United Nations Day Tuesday, Oct. 24, will be set aside as United Nations day, an international holiday. It was established by a resolution of the United Nations general assembly to celebrate the United Nations charter in 1945. Principal speaker at UN week last fall was Chancellor R. G. Gustavson, who spoke on "Atomic Energy and International Re lations." This year's main speaker has not been announced as yet. The Friendship dinner is held"" annually to foster better inter national relations. American stu dents will have the chance to become better acquainted with the foreign students on the Uni versity campus. The dinner will be held at the Union during the week. Both foreign and American students may attend the dinner. The menu will consist in part of foreign dishes. The dessert at last year's meal was the international favorite ice cream. Foreign Theme Decorations and entertain ment for the banquet will be planned and carried out by in ternational students under fore- : ign themes. Exhibits will include a show of such articles as Persian car pets, Japanese and Chinese dish es and woodcarving. The articles on exhibit will also be prepared by the foreign students. Several films on international affairs and foreign countries are planned. The coffee hour will give students a chance to become acquainted with each other, with UN week officials and visi tors. A debate between Univer sity students is also planned. UN day and UN week will be celebrated in the United States by over 70 national organiza tions. In addition, many United Nations members around the world will celebrate the week. Other Workers Working with the UN week general committee will be NUCWA officers: Harold Peter son, president; Jerry Matzke, vice president; Jo Buller, secre tary; and Miriam Willey, treas urer; and the department chair men, Sue Allen, UNESCO; Ed Saad, speaker's bureau; and Glenn Rosenquist, publicity, who will also work on plans for the week. This year UNESCO is stress ing the responsibility of the indi vidual person in building a suc cessful United Nations. The slo gan for the week will be "To day's best hope for peace is UN plus you." Humor Magazine Sales Continue Sales for Cornshucks, the campus humor magazine, are progressing at a good rate, says business manager Allen Tully. The magazine, which will be published seven times this year . instead of six, is classified as "better than ever" by Tully. Plans for the year include a production issue something like the issue which burlesqued Time magazine last year. The issue was called "Emit." Subscriptions can be obtained from any member of Tasself or can be bought at the Cornshucks office in the Union basement. The ' first issue of the magazine will be out the first part of October. Tully emphasizes the fact that students should buy subscription instead of purchasing the maga zine by the single issue because of the discount gained through, buying a subscription.
