Commies
Ask War
Cessation
Demand Peace
On Own Terms
North Korea has expressed
readiness to end the Korean war,
but with one stipulation, that it
be on their terms.
Their terms concern an elec
tion within the country, com
munist troops withdrawal behind
the 38th parallel, and United
States confining forces to the
Pusan bridgehead. It has been
said that this peace proposal has
been forwarded to the Indian
ambassador at Peiping via the
Chinese communist regime.
The North Korean authorities
suggest that United Nations forces
other than the United States and
Korea, occupy the area of South
Korea. The United States would
be allowed a post on the southern-most
beachhead.
The outline of the proposal was
roughly in line with the United
Nations war aims. On June 25,
the day the communist forces
crossed the 38th parallel, the se
'v.rity council asked the North
Koreans to cease fire and with
draw to the parallel again.
Elections
If and when action takes place
the commission was empowered
to go to Korea and observe the
withdrawal of the American and
Russian occupation troops and to
supervise free and democratic
elections throughout the country.
Russia thought differently and
now the commission will only
observe the elections which will
take place in the South Korean
capitol of Seoul.
This possible peace agreement
has not been confirmed by the
Indian council who is apparently
t,.e "go-between."
In Washington President Tru
m.n signed "the $17,099,902, 285
dc.cnse bill Wednesday. Military
aid to friendly nations and eco
nomic help to nations takes
$4,000,000,000 out of the appro
priation fund. More than $15,
000,000,000 goes to the defense
measures. Other expenses are
Sill, 000,000,000 to the army, navy
and air force, $260,000,000 for the
atomic energy commission, $98,
63 7,370 to stock up on strategic
materials, $30,000,000 for admin
istration of the defense produc
tion and $47,500,000 to aid the
sc -ools in areas where school ex
poses due to government activi
ties are abnormal.
State Budget
In the state it is reported that
their budget is going up and the
board of control needs 10 percent
or a little more to meet the
agencies spending. Requests for
funds for the next two years are
being made by the institutions
now under the boards control.
Mrs. Prince, vice-president of the
board says "wages and food costs
are tip. With the opening of new
building at several institutions,
we'll have a great population to
care for."
The institutions under the
boards jurisdiction are: Geneva
girls training school, Grand Island
soldiers and sailors home, Kear
ney industrial school, Milford
home for unwed mothers, Omaha
school for the deaf, Lincoln home
lor dependent children, and the
Lincoln reformatory. The Lincoln
State hospital has not submitted
their report of expenses.
G.I. Bill Aids
60,215 Vets
In Nebraska
An estimated 60, 215 Nebraska
World War II veterans have
taken some kind of education
and training under the G.I. bill
since it became law in June 1944.
This was revealed in a report
released by Ashley Westmore
land, regional office manager for
the Veterans Administration.
The survey showed that 16,908
veterans had been in colleges;
16,173 veterans in schools below
college level; 7,367 in institutional
on-the-farm training and 19,767
in on the job training.
The survey covered only G.I.
bill trainees and does not include
an estimated 3,953 disabled
veterans who have taken training
under Public Law 16, the admin
istration said.
The peak year for veterans at
the University was the first se
mester of the 1947-48 school year
when 5,603 veterans were regis
tered in school. Present enroll
ment is approximately 1,920 ex
cluding medical college enroll
ment. Deadline Told
In issuing the report, West
moreland reminded all veterans
who plan to initiate or resume
G.I. bill training that it must be
started before July 25, 1951. The
veteran must actually be in train
ing on that date, and must com
plete his education by July 25,
1956.
The Nebraska veteran enroll
ment by semesters: (First semes
ter, second semester).
1944-45: 125, 138; 1945-46: 401;
2,395; 1946-47: 4,500 (average for
year only); 1947-48: 5,603; 5,289;
3948-49: 4,915; 4,426; 1949-50:
3,808; 3,439 and 1950-51: 1,920
(estimated).
Builders Announce . . .
3 'College Days'
Chairmen Named
Three chairmen for College
Days have been named by Gene
Berg, general chairman of the
celebration and president of
Builders.
They are: Bull Dugan, who will
serve as assistant general chair
man; Susan Reed, open house
chairman; and Joan Krueger,
publicity chairman.
"The three are the first mem
bers of the central committee
which will direct planning and
execution of College Days to be
held April 26 to 28," announced
Berg. "Others will be named
soon so that work on the project
can begin at once."
Other appointments will in
clude personnel chairman, secre
tary, business manager and heads
of numerous special events as
well as top level assistant chair
men for central committee jobs.
To Assist Berg
As assistant general chairman
Dugan, past Builders board mem
ber and one of the first students
to begin work on the College
Days plan, will assist Berg and
help formulate plans. According
to Berg, "Dugan will help to co
at &s&tr4&m)mm(mn inwi 4sj!owm
Krueger
Reed
ordinate the multitulinous details
such a plan will of necessity en
tail." Commenting on the project,
Dugan urged cooperation of all
campus leaders, organizations
and faculty in order to make
College Days as successful as the ;
University of Colorado's CU Days
and Iowa State's Veishea. "We
hope the project will be educa
tional, first of all," said Dugan,
"and secondly publicize the Uni
versity, especially to high school
students."
Miss Reed will be in charge of
organizing and coordinating open
houses in all colleges, schools,
divisions and departments, as
well as Student Health, the ath
letic department. Union, Love
library and Morrill hall, and
campus residences and meeting

Roles Assigned
To Students
In 'Antigone9
Twelve students have been as
signed roles in the University
Experimental Theater's produc
tion, "Antigone." .
The cast is as follows: Denny
Vernon, chorus; Jan Crilly; Anti
gone; Rosanna Lock, nurse;
Marilyn Morgan, Ismene; Dick
Carson, Haemon; Jim Tomasek,
Creon; Dutch Meyer, first guard;
Wes Jensby, second guard; David
Sisler, third guard; Sid Ruben,
messenger; Harold Storm, page,
and Marty Miller, Eurydice.
Dean Graunke is director of
the production while William
Ellis is technical director and
Christine Phillips is production
manager.
In the play, the two sons of
Oedipus, late king of the ancient
Greek city of Thebes, starts a
civil war where both are killed.
Their uncle, Creon, bomes
regent.
The play version of the ancient
Greek legend comes from a Paris
production that was under the
rule of the Nazis during the last
war. The production is parallel
to modern times in parts.
Creon orders that one of the
brothers who had in his opinion
started the civil war, be left un
buried. Antigone, unable to al
low this, covers the body of her
brother.
Creon has her buried alive for
punishment. This brings about
the death of his son, who was in
love with Antigone, provokes
his wife to kill herself, and
eventually causes his own ruin.
Berg Announces

T J. Thompson's, meeting early
in October.
Planning for exhibits, displays
and demonstrations, in coopera
tion with deans, directors and
student groups of the various
units will also be a job of the
open house chairman.
Staffs will be organized by
Miss Reed to assist her. She plans
to use student executive boards
or department honoraries as
much as possible in the actual
carrying out of the project. Her
assistants will serve in a super
visory capacity.
An open house booklet explain
ing the different open houses
during College Days will be pub
lished under supervision of Miss
Reed and her assistants.
The open houses in many parts
of the University, explains Berg,
are still subject to the decision
of the deans and their depart
ment heads, and student leaders.
"A great deal of time and ef
fort," says Berg, "will of course
go ir'- this phase of College Days
since is the backbone of the
whok ffair, especially as it
regaro. visiting high school stu
dents. It is, in addition, the
means of acquainting faculty
members and students on campus
with the various parts of the
University."
Success of Project
"Success of a really significant
College Days hinges on the ac
tion of deans and all other
levels," realize Berg and Miss
Reed.
Miss Krueger will direct pub
licity in all media on campus,
in Lincoln and throughout the
state. She will assume the task
of "selling" the College Days idea
to students, faculty, local citi
zens, alumni, friends, high school
officials and students.
A concentrated publicity cam
paign telling the purposes and
plans of the proposed three day
event will be carried out by the
publicity chairman.
According to Miss Krueger:
"This Builders project must be
publicized to the point where
College Days will gain as much
attention and attendance as do
Iowa State's and the University
of Colorado's similar celebra
tions." "The project is so giant," she
points out, "that to get the idea
across to all Nebraskans, College
Days must be enthusiastically
backed fiist of all by campus
leaders and officials."
In announcing the three Col
lege Days heads, Berg said they
were selected on the basis of
capability, interest and ability to
perform the particular job for
which they vere considered.

Five YWCA Groups
To Meet Thursday
j That five YWCA commission
I groups will meet Thursday, was
announced by Sue Allen, presi
: dent.
The groups and time of meet
I ing are: community service, 3
I p.m.; current affairs, 4 p.m.;
I skeptics corner, conference co
I op and personal values on cam
j pus, 5 p.m.
by Athletic Director "Potsy"
Clark and the father of one of
the varsity players. Herb Reese's
dad will also speak.
Alumni association officials are
helping to sponsor the luncheon
since a large number of Alumni
dads have indicated that they
would like to attend. A special
section of the ballroom will be
reserved for alumni.
Players' Dads
During the luncheon, the
players' dads will be given num
ber cards corresponding to their
sons' and from there they will
go to the game and sit behind
their sons on the bench.
Reserved parking for the hon
ored guests will be offered to
prevent any parking problems.
A parking lot near the Union
will be set aside just for the
dads' cars.
Ample time will be provided
after the luncheon program for
those attending to arrive at the
Stadium before kick-off time.
The Innocents decided that a
revival of the event was in or
der since fathers are in a pos
ition, as taxpayers, to influence
the school's policy. Therefore,
the society thought a special day
should be set aside for students
to honor their fathers.
After the plan was initiated,
Director Clark stated: "Dad's
Day is a tribute to fathers of
Nebraska students who are often
forgotten in the rush of college
! life."
i The occasion also gives the
fathers an opportunity to meet
I informally and to get a closer
look at the college life that their
i sons lead.

Jobs Available
For Student
Radio Writers
Did you ever wonder how your
favorite disc jockey could make
so many clever remarks?
In reality he doesn't. It is the
continuity writers of that par
ticular station.
Continuity writing is an art
where the complete unity of a
station is compiled. It takes care
of all the advertisements that
are heard during station breaks,
the spot news flashes, or any
thing linking the various pro
grams together. It also takes
care of the opening and the clos
ing of the day for any station.
At the University there is an
open field for continuity writing.
Anyone interested in writing
continuity should see Soralee
Sokolof, continuity editor, Tem
ple building.
Purpose of continuity writing
at the university is to aid the Uni
versity's daily broadcasts held
from 3 to 5 p.m., daily at the
Temple building and the Union
on station KNU.
The daily broadcasts are con
ducted as a part of practical ra
dio training for students en
rolled in the University. It gives
an opportunity to put theory into
practice by operating for two
hours daily a simulated broad
casting schedule which parallels
the type of programing heard on
an actual professional station.
Broadcasts offer incentive to
the participating students by as
suring them an actual audience.

State Breeders
Honor Two
NU Dairymen
M. N. Lawritson and C. W.
Nibler, two University extension
dairy specialists, have geen hon
ored by the Nebraska Federation
of Artificial Breeders at their an
nual meeting.
They received recognition for
outstanding contributions to the
dairy industry of the state. Law
ritson received a plaque for 33
years of continued interest in
Nebraska dairy held improve
ment. Both received checks for
$65, gifts from the state feder
ation and local dairy breeders
associations.
Panel discussions filled the
mornings portion of the breeders'
annual meeting moderated by C.
W. Nibler. During the afternoon
session, R. W. Seath, manager
of the Southern Minnesota
Breeding federation, Owatonna,
Minn., spoke on "What's Ahead
in Artificial Breeding."
According to Seath, artificial
breeding of dairy cows is now
a "big industry" with an esti
mated income to the associations
of $15,500,000. He estimated the
number of dairy cows that will
be bred artificially in 1950 at
3,500,000. "And" points out Seath,
"that's only the beginning. Iff
a new industry."
Artificial breeding of dairy
animals was introduced into the
United States in 198 and was
used first in New Jersey. To date,
eleven and one-half per cent of
all dairy herds in the United
States are using artificial breed
ing methods. During these years
the breeding associations have
improved herds and as a result
of herd improvement have in
creased the production of dairy
products.
