Fighting
Continues
In Seoul
Forces in South
Push Enemy Back
The job that's left to do in
liberated Seoul now is the bitter
mop-up fighting. Gen. Douglas
MacArthur's forces on the south
ere welding shut a steel trap on
thousands of other enemy troops.
The First cavalry division and
the U. S. Seventh infantry were
reported lined up between Su
won and Osan, about 30 miles
south of Sebul
The First cavalry had raced
more than 115 miles in five days.
Parts of from five to six enemy
divisions now in ' retreat from
their campaign against the Pusan
beachhead were being herded in
to southwest Korea.
Fight to the Death
AP Correspondent Don White
head writes that "Seoul is not
being spared. It is a fight to the
death, with the reds defending
from houses, ridges and rooftops
in a desperate last stand."
"Not in any two wars," he re
ports, "have I seen anything to
equal the battle for Seoul. This
fighting through smoke-filled
streets is eerie and unreal, with
flames leaping from buildings
and licking out at the marines
as they dash down the debris
filled streets and past buildings
crashing to the ground after
fires have gutted them."
In Washington, Col. Daniel O.
Omer. general counsel of the se
lective service, said Tuesday that
all foreseeable military needs
can be taken care of in the pre
sent draft age group 19 through
25 years if some of the restric
tions are lifted.
If regulations were changed to
permit drafting of 4-Fs, childless
husbands and veterans of World
War II, an armed force of three
million can be maintained, he
said.
Sen. Kenneth Wherry pre
dicted at a speech at a republican
rally in Columbus, O., that if a
republican congress is elected.
Dean Acheson will lose his post
as secretary of state.
Nebraska's other senator, Hugh
Butler, said Tuesday that he did
not believe Gen. George Marshall
was "the indispensible man."
Butler opposed Marshall's ap
pointment as secretary of de
fense; because "it has been one of
the basic principles of our gov
ernment ever since it was
founded that the military be at
all times subordinate to the ci
vilian authority."

Builders
Plan Gains
Support
As plans progress for College
Days the three day celebration
picturing campus life support
from campus organizations in
creases. Kosmet Klub and Tassels are
recent organizations offering
help to the Builders sponsored
project which will be held April
26 to 28. The celebration will be
a combination of the University
of Colorado's CU days and Iowa
State's Veishea. and includes pro
grams and contributions from
every phase of University life.
Kosmet Klub will assist in
College Days either by giving a
series of shows, scheduling their
Spring Revue during the cele
bration or presenting a talent
show, announced Leon Pfeiffer,
president.
Pfeiffer Comments
Pfeiffer added, "We certainly
realize that it will be a tremen
dous task, and Builders alone
can't do it."
"With the cooperation and
support of every campus organ
ization, house, college and fac
ulty member, it certainly should
be a success," he said.
"Other campuses have pre
sented celebrations similar to
College Days, and the University
ought to be able to do the same
thing or something similar," he
added.
Tassels to Help
College Days, which first was
discussed nearly 20 years ago on
this campus, also has the sup
port of the Tassels. Shirley Allen
president of the organization,
said that Tassels "certainly will
do anything to help."
"It is a good idea," she said.
Administration officials. Chan
cellor R. G. Gustavson, Dean
Carl Borgmann and Dean T. J.
Thompson, have stamped ap
proval on preliminary plans of
College Days.
Dean Thompson will call a
meeting the first week in Octo
ber of all deans of colleges to
discuss the project
Gene Berg, president of Build
ers, said that letters soon will be
sent to all the dean of colleges
explaining just what College
Days is and what Builders hopes
to achieve by holding such an
event on the University campus.
Berg also announced that
members of the central commit
tee which will head the project
will be announced soon. He
stressed that if the oroject is to be
successful, it must have coopera
tion, backing and help of all stu
dents, college? and faculty mem
bers. "It will take several hundred
students and faculty members to
plan all phases," he said. Each
college will be responsible for its
open house, displays and pro
gram. Attempts will be made to co
ordinate College Days with Far
mer's Fair and Engineer's week
which are scheduled for the same
weekend.
A University Theatre produc
tion, Orchesis recitals, big name
hand appearances, com erts by
the University symphony orches
tra, band and Singers and an all-
University pnrade are only a few
of the tentative plans, says Berg. 1
will be the presentation of the
eighth annual "Hello Girl" dur
ing intermission. The winner will
be chosen from a list of candi
dates selected by independent
women's groups on campus The
1949 "Hello Girl", Hattie Mann,
will present roses to the winner.
Balloons containing the names,
of each candidate will be attach-
jed to the ceiling. After the "Hello:
Girl" is announced, the balloons
will be released and the boy i
catching the balloon with the
Barb queen's name in it will get
one dance with her.
The winner will be elected by
the people in attendance at the
dance who will vote as they en
ter.
Walt Goodbrod and his combo
will furnish music for the dance.
Tickets are being sold in the
Union lobby. Students may bring
dates, however, students may
attend without dates.
-'Tnedance originated in 1943,
as a service for soldiers stationed
at
the Lincoln air base. After
the soldiers left, the BABW
sponsored the dance as an annual
event. This year will be the
eighth time that the BABW
queen has been chosen.

Year Ago Today:
Join the Marines9
"Join the Marine Air Reserve
you will get four days' pay a
month with only two days of ac
tive duty."
Thus reads an article in the
Sept. 27, 1949 Daily Nebraskan.
The Rag issue came out exactly
a year ago.
Thirty-three University stu-
; dents from the Marine Air Re-
serve received their calls to ac
tive duty last week, and have
been ordered to report for duty
Oct. 16.
The 33 men were members of
j VMF Squadron 1 13, stationed at
the Lincoln Naval Air Station.
I The Squadron is the same
which was recruiting members
last year.
Two marine officers were on
duty in the Union lobby during
I this same week last year to sign
I up prospective recruits. The two
' men, Lt. Henry Schlueter and
I Capt J. R. Cooper were quoted
in the Rag at that time as say
I ing "We anticipate a large
I number of recruits from the Ne
braska campus."
ID Cards
Needed for
Grid Games
If you don't look like a Uni
versity student, but have tickets
to sit in the student football sec
tion, you'd be safer to carry
along an ID -card to games.
All students with season foot
ball tickets this year must enter
the East Stadium through the
door marked "students," an
nounced A. J. Lewandowski, bus
iness manager of athletics. Two
checkers will placed at each en
trance for the purpose of identi
fication. ID Cards Checked
According to Lewandowski,
any party entering the Stadium '
whom the checkers suspect may
not be a University student will
be required to produce identifi
cation. Proof Ties with the party '
gaining admittance," said Lew
andowski. Those students holding tickets
in Sections 1 to 5 are to enter
through the north doors of the
East Stadium. Those in other
sections are to use the south
doors.
Faculty members are to enter
the door marked "faculty." said
Faculty Seating
Faculty members holding
football season tickets in the
East Stadium must enter

ter door.
Lewandowski. This will be lo
cated directly north of the center
door.
Persons, not faculty members
or students, but who have seats
in the East Stadium are to use
the entrance marked ""public".
The system is being used this
year to protect student interests,"
said Lewandowski. A similar
plan was tried once before in
1937, but only two doors were
open to students.
Student Faculty Sections
Majority of seats in the East
Stadium will be occupied by
students and faculty. Exceptions
are the several sections reserved
to the public and single admis
sion. Seats reserved for the fac
ulty and University students are
the card section and seats nearest
the field.
Seats for the visiting teams

17 Member Group
To Choose Officers
Seventeen new students will
take their seats as members of
the Student Council at its first
meeting Wednesday at 4 p.m.,
Room 315, Union, President Rob
Raun, announced.
These students will become
members of the second interim
council: Larry Christensen, law
association; Mary Hubka, Coed
Counselors; Rex Messersmith,
YMCA; Miriam Willey, YW
CA; Peg Mulvaney, WAA;
George Wilcox, Candidate Of
ficer's association; Fikri Sekerei,
Cosmopolitan club; Sharon Fritz
ler. Associated Women Students;
Bill Michelson, Interfratemity
council; Ginny Guhin, Mortar
Board; Bob Rogers, Innocents;
Keith Stevenson, Religious Wel
fare council; Sid McVicker, En
gineering Executive board, and
Eldean Breese, BABW.
Holdover Members
The "N" club and Independent
Students association have not yet
chosen their representatives.
Holdover members of the Coun
cil are. Rob Raun, president;
Bob Parker, vice precident; Gene
Berg, judiciary chairman; and
Betty Green and Shirley Allen.
The resignation of Bruce Ken
nedy, representing publications,
will be acted upon at the meet
ing. Organization of the council
will be the main order of business,
Raun said. The secretary, cor
responding secretary and treas
urer will be elected. Committee
chairman will be selected for
the following committees: elec
tions, judiciary, student activi
ties, campus improvement and
dance band.
Plans for the election of of
ficers for the junior and senior
classes will be discussed at the
meeting. Raun said that these
officers would be elected as soon
as possible. A president, vice
president, secretary and treas
urer for each class will be chosen.
Migration Plans
A committee to make plans
for the annual student migra
tion will be chosen. The migra
tion this year will be to the Ne--kraska-Kan-sa
footbfitt--game-in
Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 22.
A committee of holdover mem
bers will continue to work with
the faculty sub-committee on
general organization to make the
final draft for the new council
constitution. The interim student
council last year drafted a con
stitution, but final details are
being discussed with the faculty
group. Kaun predicted that the
new constitution would be in op
eration by spring.
After the student-faculty com
mittee has worked out final de
tails of the constitution, it will
be presented to the Student
Council for approval. When
passed by the faculty senate, it
will be presented to the students
for final ratification.
The interim coimcil, now in
its second year if operation, is
operating unde the same con
stitution that was used prior to
1949, with the major exception
of the rules on membership. The
council elections of 1949 were
invalidated by the faculty com
mittee on student affairs because
they felt that the old system was
unrepresentative.
The new system, of having
major campus organizations send
one delegate to form the student
council was initiated in Septem
ber 1949.
Teacher Eating Scale
The scholarship committee,
Raun said, would continue its
work on the teacher rating scale,
which was widely discussed by
student-faculty committees last
year.
Raun said that student repre
sentatives would investigate the
possibility of Student Council
representation on faculty com
mittees. "We feel that this student rep
resentation will promote coop
eration and speedy action on pro
posed legislation which affects
our school," he said.
Raun praised the work done
on improving the freshman ori
entation program during the past
year, and said that the council
will continue to work with the
faculty on improving the pro
gram more. He cited a booklet
put out by faculty representa
tives which presented informa
tion about campus activities and
life as one of the steps in im
proving the program.
Delegates from Nebraska will
be sent to the second annual
Big Seven student government
association meeting in Norman,
Dkla., in 1951, Raun said. The
first meeting waB held on the
Nebraska campus March 3 and
4, 1950. Representatives of he
Big Seven conference student
councils met to discuss common
problems.

Union Plans
Fund Set
At 3100,000
Plans for immediate construc-
i lion of the proposed Ag Union
were dropped at the initial meet
ing of the Ag Union building
committee Monday
However, members of the
committee decided that the issue
would not be a dead one and
plans will continue to be formu
lated for building at the first
opportunity
j Biggest drawback of starting
j construction now was due to the
rising cost of materials and
j mounting restrictions being
placed on coriStaair3;kn mortfa.-
Present specifications provide
for a $100,000 building.
To Take Poll
According to Rex Messersmith,
chairman of the committee, all
possible architectural plans are
being investigated and as soon,
as definite ideas of what is need
ed are obtained, a student opin-
! ion poll will be taken to determ-
ine the students' desires for the
new building
Since the $100,000 now avail
able for building would be in
sufficient to produce the. type of
structure needed, it may be
necessary to draw up two con
struction plans. One would set
forth the ideas for moderate
building that could be built with
the available funds, and the
other would be a building to
meet the entire needs of the Ag
college students in case private
subscriptions can be obtained to
the approximate total amount of
$200,000
It was originally planned that
the Building committee could
incorporate its alloted $100,000
with another phase of the Uni
versity's building plan. This
means that they would be per
mitted to use a floor of one of
the proposed dormitories to be
located on the Ag Campus. In this
way the $100,000 would be used
to alleviate the cost of that
dormitory.
Dorm Plans Curbed
Since the opening of the criti
cal situation in Korea, the gov
ernment has stopped all payment
of loans to educational institu
tions, thus curbing the dormitory
building plans.
"Now the only course which
we can take is to explore the
possible areas on which to locate
the new Union and to prepare a
campaign for donations in case
the Korean situation gets better,"
stated Messersmith.
Faculty members supervising
the project are: Dr. T. H. Good
ing, Miss Ruth Jones, and Pro
fessor L. B. Snyder.
Ag students composing the
committee are: Messersmith,
chairman, Clayton Yeutter, Arlen
Beam, Roland Cooksley, Ruth
Craft, Ruth Fischer, Arnold Nie
veen, and Lu Velte.
