Red China was invited by the United Nations security council to present its complaints of American aggression in person after Nov. 15. Nationalist China's attempt to veto the action failed. With the invitation extended to red China, the council's ac tion resulted in two significant facts: ' The .red Chinese government at Peiping, broke through a wall of opposition led by the United States, and won her fight to be present when her charges of U.S. aggression against Formosa are discussed. This does not mean the reds will take over the Chinese nationalist seat in the U.N. Veto Overcome The second fact was that the council succeeded in finding a way to break the deadlock which has hamstrung it in the past when faced with the so called "double-veto." Comments from delegates of United States and Great Britain hailed the action as a sign that it would be extremely difficult in the future to abuse the veto. As the South Korean troops speared to the 38th parallel, eight member countries asked the United Nations to speed ac tion on unifying Korea, leaving to Gen. Douglas MacArthur the decision whether to send troops north to the China border to do it. Great Britain was prime mover of the resolution and the U.S. backed the proposal. MacArthur Praised . President Truman's reactions to the victorious Korean cam paign was expressed in a cable to MacArthur which hailed his leadership as "rivalled by few operations in military history." The president, who cracked down on MacArthur just r. month ago in a row over U. S. policy toward Formosa, told the five-star general that the tri umphant U.N. forces had set "a shining example" of unification. Another attempt towards friendship was taken by Henry A. Wallace when he wrote to Chinese communist Premier Mao Tze-tung urging him to support friendship with the United States and spurn "slavish obe dience" to Moscow. In an open letter the former vice president declared that "Americans have been tradi tionally friends of the Chinese and want to continue to be friends." Destroyer Damaged Meanwhile, the navy reported nine men killed Kand ten injured by an explosion 1 when the U.S. destroyer Brush hit a floating mine in the Sea of Japan last week. A large underwater hole was torn in the left side of the 2,200 ton destroyer but the ship made the port of Sasebo, Japan, under her own power after emergency repairs. Also on a less favorable side of the news, allied troops retak ing ground once held by North Korean reds found the bullet pierced bodies of about 400 South Korean civilians and po lice piled in two open ditches near Taejon prison. An undetermined number of other bodies was discovered in two open wells inside the prison compound. Bodies of 40 American pris oners of war were reported found earlier in a covered trench at the rear of the Taejon police station. European Command Although most attention was focused on the eastern world, speculation increased that Presi dent Truman may appoint Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to com mand the projected interna tional army to defend western Europe. The talk is based in part on what Truman said about Eisen hower at a recent news confer ence and in part on the fact that Washington officials believe a man of outstanding reputation and proved ability should get the supreme command post. Jobs Available For NU Students Any male University student who "would like part time em ployment may be able to find what he is looking for at the stu dent employment office. More Job opportunities are available at present than there are men to fill them. Anyone in terested should apply in Room 2 0 9, Administration building from 8 a. m. to 12 noon, or from 1 to 5 p. m. Food service Jobs are the most plentiful. Several of these offers meals in addition to pay. Others available are in the fields of handimen, clerks and carpentry. I university. Kaaio students have ! lined up a broadcasting day of two hours, 3 to 5 p.m., daily, Monday through Friday. Little KNU will be a professional sta tion in everything but actuality, since the programs will be heard on the campus only. Varied Prog: ram There will be news broadcasts, sports shows, record programs of nil timA. I 1 , u. flnd others. KNU's plunge into tne cold and precisely timed, waters of broadcasting is almost certain to be a shock to all con. j cerned, on both ends of the mike, After a day or so, however, it is anticipated that KNU will take on its air-legs and become a highlight of the University day. The first semester phalanx of NU personnel to absorb the ini tial shock of the first six weeks of broadcasting is listed below. This may be the only recogni tion they'll ever get outside the radio section, so study now the ranks of the unsung. The job of the station man ager is to plan the policies of KNU Schedule Campus Radio Station, KNU, broadcast schedule for Monday afternoon is: 3:00 Sweet and Lowdown. 3:15 Show Tunes. 3:30 Authors of the Ages. 3:45 Authors of the Ages. 4:00 Campus News. 4:05 Music of the Masters. 4:15 Music of the Masters. 4:30 Guest Star. 4:45 Disc Jockey Show. the entire station supervise per suunei, aiiu cuoruuicue an uiuaju- 1 i 1 : ii l i casting activity So, catalog your complaints, read them over first, write them neatly and then sub mit them to station manager Marr. Directly under the station manager comes Arved Christen- sen, program director, and his assistant Bob Lundberg. Christ ensen has worked with KFAB, Lundberg with KOLN. They plan the programs, hold auditions and interviews, acquire station tal ent, schedule the shows and pro duce them. Meyers to Supervise Dutch Meyers, chief announ cer at KNU is also a part-time announcer with KOLN. He su pervises the announcers, inter views, special shows and the newscasting. His assistants are Tom Nuss, Sue Kent (in charge of women's shows) and Dick Root, sports editor. If the station has a voice, it must also have something to say. Now continuity is all the writ ten copy which is read on the air, whether dramatic script, commercial or substaining copy. Soralee Sokolof is KNU's con tinuity editor. Next in this chain of command come Joan Hanson and Mary Kay Tolliver. Joel Bailey is the music li brarian. She catalogs all records, gives record clearance and pulls the music for the disc shows. Since there are over a thousand records, Miss Bailey has a pair of co-workers, Jane . Mammett and Evelyn Anderson. The traffic manager is not a cop. Traffic in a radio station refers to the specific scheduling of programs, personnel and con tinuity. Every broadcast must be scheduled by "traffic." Besides this, the traffic personnel handles all correspondence within the sta tion plus all outside mail, in coming and outgoing. The girl behind the pile of papers at the typewriter is Winnie Davidson traffic manager. Sharing KNU's traffic problems is Officer Neil Trabert. Jim Riordan, KNU news edi- 8ee Radio, Pare 4.

The new greeting: "Haven't you been drafted yet?" Either greeting (including the one from the United States President) is unintentionally lowering the morale of the col lege. He sees his friends being taken from the campus one by one. The anxiety of "Will I be next?" is rooted in his mind. The attitude even invaded rush week. "How's your draft status, Mac?" or "We like men that are 17 and 18 years old in our fra ternity," were popular parts of rush week conversation. The scramble for ROTC has been terrific. Even the veteran who laughed at the "experienced" ROTC student is laughing out of the other side of his mouth. This has not deflated any egos in the Military and Naval Science build ing. One gets the drift of the state of affairs when you get a casual look for your very anxious questions. Evidently someone has Mass Meet On Tuesday United Nations and world af fairs these topics will get their initial airing on the University campus Thursday, when NUCWA holds its first mass meeting. The meeting will aim primar ily at membership. The presi dent of the organization, Harold Peterson, will outline the pro pram fnr the comine vear and prospective members will sign j up for committees in which they I are interested. The meeting is booked for Parlor X of the Union at 7:30 p.m. Nebraska University Coun cil for World Affairs vice-president, Jerry Matzke, will give a report of the CCUN national con vention which he attended in June as the University's official delegate. Goals of UN Matzke will discuss the week's program and will tell of the CCUN's national goals and plans for the year. Peterson will introduce the five department chairmen at the meeting. Students will then divide into groups to hear more of the department in which they are most interested. A membership table will be set up for those who wish to work with the organization. Every house will have one liason representative. Letters have been sent to all houses urging as large attendance as possible. According to Peterson, how ever, any University student in terested in either world affairs or the UN is invited to come to the mass meeting and to sign up for a working committee. Other officers of NUCWA for the year are Jo Buller, secretary; and Miriam Willey, treasurer. Department Chairmen The five department chairmen are Sue Allen, UNESCO; Ed Saad, speaker's bureau; Glenn Rosenquist, publicity; Joan Jones, information and research; and Marilyn Coupe, international studies.

Attempts will be made also to have a big name concert artist give a concert. 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 cj-ordinate these events with the all-University program. ?- . ' U - ,' ' - " j? ?

Also an entirely different pro cedure for the traditional pre sentation during the show of Prince Kosmet and the Nebraska Sweetheart have been outlined. Kosmet Klub President Leon Pfeiffer announced that the show which features male skits would follow a broad "Mythical Tour" theme throughout the show's en tirety. The theme was similated after it was decided that a guide was needed to allow for more continuity and value in the en tertainment. Participants in the Revue, in cluding both men's organized groups and fraternities would follow the theme consistently. The Revue is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 17 at the Coliseum. Letters to Houses Letters are now being sent to all men's houses inviting them to devise skits for the show. All candidate groups who choose to compete for participation in the Revue will have their skits re viewed during the first week in November. Between six and eight groups will probably eventually appear in the show. "Kosmet Klub," said Pfeiffer, "is very anxious for the show to represent the finest charac teristics of the student body. "Skits," added Pfeiffer, "will have to show sensibleness in the matters of good taste, humor as contrasted with vulgarity, risk eness and general unwholesome ness in the ways of perform ances." Pfeiffer said that the new pro gram will provide a "wonderful opportunity for interested stu dents to follow the make-beliene South Pacific script or other Broadway hit play." It was decided a theme was necessary so that there would be more continuity, originality and entertainment value in the individual skits. Royalty Presentation "No definite information was revealed about the main high light of the Revue, the royal pre sentation of Prince Kosmet and the Nebraska Sweetheart. These ceremonies are traditionally kept secret until the first night of the Revue. Innocents and Mortar Boards will select finalists for the hon ors from the entire field of can didates submitted by organized houses. In addition, a new type of en tertainment for between the skits has been planned. This will feature a varied pro gram including talent from both individuals and groups on cam pus, in addition to a master of ceremonies. New Trophies Two new traveling trophies will be presented to skit winners, stated Pfeiffer.' In past . years, only one trophy has been awarded. The new trophies will be awarded to first and second place houses, and the former trophy to the third place winner. The new trophies were origi nated to offer added incentive to the men's groups to work harder in preparation of their skits. According to Pfeiffer, the theme is broad enough to allow many potentialities. The respec tive skits should be designed to satirize Broadway with a light vein of humor. "The dramatic pattern could embrace the atmosphere of a musical comedy, an evening in a famous New York restaurant, or just a street scene of Broadway itself," declared Pfeiffer. Skits Should Hparkle "Skits should sparkle with the bright and flashy scenes typical of Broadway, he said. Bee Kosmet Klub, Page 2. Rag Receives First Class 1950 Rating The Daily Nebraskan has re ceived First Class rating from the Associated College Press for its merits on features, content, edi torials and general make-up, for the spring semester 1950 editions. The "Rag" was given the award for its large size paper of last year under the editorship of Fritz Simpson. The new size Daily Nebraskan was the first large Rag judged since before World War II. Staff members under Simpson were: Susie Reed, associate edi tor; Bruce Kennedy and Gene Berg, managing editors; Norma Chubuck, Jerry Warren, Kent Axtell, Poochie Rediger, news editors; Kimon Karabatsos, sports editor; Jean Fenster, Ag editor; Pat Wiedman. society editor; Emily Heine, feature editor and Hank Lammers, photography. The business staff was composed of Keith O'Bannon, business man ager; Ted Randolph, Jack Cohen, Chuck Burmeister, assistant bus iness manager and Wendy Gau ger, circulation manager. The Daily Nebraskan received the highest rating, All-American, in the spring of 1949. Editoi was Norm Leger. At that time the "Rag" was tabloid size. AUF to Begin Solicitations From Houses Campus Drive Kickoff Tonight The kickoff for the first seriea of All University Fund drives this season is scheduled lor Monday. Jo Lasher, director, stated that the initial campus campaign will begin with speeches by AUF members at fraternity and sorority houses. Solicitation of pledges from these houses will continue through Monday, Oct. 16. Six pledging periods in all will be devoted to collecting contributions from six general student groupings on campus. Purpose of the speeches will be to explain the background, purpose and projects of AUF. The individual drives will con tinue through next. February. During the first drive, work ers in the respective houses will collect donations and solicit pledges for donations which will be collected at least by Feb. 25. Sandra Walt and Jack Savage are in charge of house workers for this drive. More Support Needed Miss Lisher stated that AUF solicitations have been generous up until now. but she added "that student support is needed more than ever in order that the goal may be reached. AUF was organized at the Uni versity in 1943, for the purpose of combining all campus charity drives to protect the students from excessive charity drives throughout the year. A direct appeal to the stu dents is issued every year by the organization to support three main projects. The first is the Community Chest. According to Miss Lisher, the money turned in to the Com munity Chest will actually be used to benefit students at tho University. Last year, approxi mately $2,000 went to the Chest and it in turn gives the Univer sity YMCA and YWCA $8,000 per year. Actually four times the amount students contributed to the Chest was given back to them. Money will also be earmarked for a special project in some foreign country. Invest in Tomorrow' Said Miss Lisher, "This spe cial project, will be accom plished through the World Stu dent Serivce Fund. It offers an opportunity for students and professors at the Universitv to invest in tomorrow today." WSSF money is consumed in these five ways: food, clothes, medical aid, books and housing. WSSF works through Univer sities throughout the nation. It has performed a vital function on the American campuses in overcoming isolationism and in creating a more realistic aware ness of the world situation in which the U.S. must play its part. According to Miss Lisher, stu dent relief looms large as means of promoting understand ing among nations. "It is im portant that the WSSF succeed in its financial effort." said the director. "We are not asking for a definite amount from each atu dent, but we are asking that each student gives as much as he can afford thus helping to support these worthy causes. After all, the money is earning us something in the way of satis faction that we an helping to obtain world wid friendship and evantually peace." "It seems," added Miss Lisher, "that just once, we might ae rifice something which 'really means little to us, but much to deprived peoples." ROTC Promotes Two Officers Colonel James H. Workman, professor of military science and tactics of the University has an nounced the promotion of Capt. Robert L. Huf faker and Capt, David Prior to the rank of Major. Major Huf faker is from Lana gan, Mo. He is a graduate of the Missouri State Teachers College, class of '39. During his active service he served three years in ' the Panama Canal zone.

Major Prior, a native of Utah, graduated from Brigham Young university in 1937, he has ro-. cently been asigned to the ROTC staff here as Assistant PUIS & T instructor in artillery subjects. He was awarded the Bronze Star medal for service with the 204th Field Artillery Battalion in the Normandy invasion. Following the war, he served three years with the occupational forces in Wetzlar, Germany.
