"While we at Nebraska are busy with, the reviving
of "The Cornhusker" or helping this and that organization
start the year's work, there is a movement beginning in
America the aim and importance of which extends far
beyond the small scope of campus activities. This move-
merit is the Crusade lor
Dwight Eisenhower in his
Day.
The Crusade which will end Oct 24, United Nation's
Day, is a mobilization of millions of Americans in the
battle against Communist propaganda and . aggression. For
the first time in history, all citizens as individuals have
been asked to take part in psycological warfare. Through
broadcasting facilities Radio
- - - m- i
people behind tne iron uurtain are neanng xne irutn aDout
Russia and her propaganda. But at present there is a
single short-wave transmitter in operation; an expansion
of Radio Free Europe is imperative. A '"freedom station"
in each of the Iron Curtain countries would greatly
strengthen the cause of the free world.
The real practical "pay-off" of the Crusade for Free
dom is the expansion of Radio Free Europe. Each in
dividual, through a contribution to this truth network,
can add to the power of the voices that are penetrating
the Iron Curtain.
We are not concerned, however, with impressing the
importance of the Crusade upon University students. We
Delieve they will be the first to support it whole-heartedly.
Our interest is finding some organization or organizations
to sponsor the Crusade for Freedom program on this
campus.
Work towards successful
Tersity in the Crusade will need the cooperation of several
campus organizations. Religious student nouses ana cam
pus churches may wish to devote chapel service during the
week, especially on Crusade church Sunday, Oct. 8. The
Religious Welfare council and the YW and YMCA might
hold forums and discussions on the consequences of the
Crusade. Builders. Tassels, Corn Cobs, Kosmet Klub and
other service organizations
the freedom scrolls, the distribution ot posters, ouxtons,
tc The Union could offer invaluable service with
its co-ordinated activities and central location. The
Daily Nebraskan will certainly help to present the work
and progress of the Crusade to the student body.
But coordination is necessary between these different
organizations. We believe the Student Council, because of
its position and its constitutional purposes, should be the
grand committee which would unite -varied activities of
the program and supervise the overall procedure.
We sincerely hope the responsible groups will consider
the important roles they may play in the Crusade for
Freedom on this campus. Without their cooperation the
movement will fall short of the 100 percent support this
campus should give.

To members of the student body:
The University expects its students to conduct themselves as
ladies and gentlemen and. to demonstrate reasonable scholastic apti
tude and progress. Each student should have an interest in the
intellectual and social atmosphere surrounding the University, for
he has a stake in its standing and reputation.
During your University career, kindly be guided by the following:
I. Scholarship Rules It is the obligation of the Office of
Student Affairs to see that students maintain good scholastic
standing.
1. The student who is making an unsatisfactory scholastic
record in two-fifths or more of his hours of registration
at the end of sixth week, twelfth week, or at the end of
any semester is subject to dismissal.
2. The student who fails to maintain an average of four ,(4)
may be placed on probation. Should probation continue
into successive semesters, he is subject to dismissal.
3. A student who fails to make an average of four (4) at
the end of his lourth semester of registration at the Uni
versity of .Nebraska, is subject to .dismissal for unsatis
factory progress.
Students thus dismissed may appeal from the decision of
the Office of Dean of Student Affairs to the Faculty
Scholarship Committee for a hearing regarding reinstatement
H. Student Decorum The
its good name nor the fine reputation of its students gener
ally shall be soiled or jeopardized by the activities of a lew.
Intoxication, drinking and driving, cheating in examinations,
misuse of library and source materials, membership in a
subversive organization,
practices, and other serious offenses are regarded as basis
for separation and suspension, even expulsion, of a student
from the University.
There are times when the "preventive approach" is believed to
better than the "cure approach" and therefore this letter be
tokens our interest in the success and well-being of each and every
tudent. "We stand ready, moreover, to help a atudent solve any
difficult situation with which he may be confronted.
Yours sincerely,

In view of the rather frighten
ing odds which faced us SO days
ago the present turn of events in
Korea seems almost too good to
be true. What were the odds, and
what conse
quences nave
followed from
our action?
U. S. and
U. N. action in
Korea was a
calculated risk
initially spon
sored by this
country. Much
of the credit
for the corre
lation of effort
rightly belongs Anderson
to the American Secretary of
State, Dean Acheson. In a matter
of 48 hours the Administration
had to make its decision in the
face of known odds. Those odds
were not pleasant to contemplate.
First, Korea as an outpost of
American power was strategically
untenable. Second, counter-action
by the Soviet Ked Army or
the Chinese Peoples' Army would
have driven us from the penin
sula and rolled up the curtain on
World War III. Third, it was ap
parent from the start that the
South Korean armed forces had
neither the will nor the capacity
to offer adequate resistance.
Fourth, there "was the conviction
born from our occupation ex
periences that the majority of
Koreans probably preferred, or
would resign themselves to, uni
fication under any kind of gov
ernment than division along the
SBth parallel. And fifth, there
was reason to wonder if unsea
soned occupation troops in Ja
pan could do the kind of a job
they would be called upon to do
in Korea.
It was the last of these con
siderations which proved most
disturbing for a time, and the
attention given to well-documented
stories of North Korean
atrocities was undoubtedly in
spired in part by the need of
instilling our boys with the
necessary fighting spirit. While
this certainly did not turn the
war into a struggle Between
angels and devils, it had the
desired effect upon American
boys who had been otherwise
slow to grasp such abstract no
tibns as "a war to save the
United Nations."
Now that the major military
objective has been achieved it is
important to emphasize that the
fundamental reason for Amer
ican action in Korea was to up
hold international law. 'Specifi
cally, it was to serve notice that
Survey Shows Students
Best Informed On Sports
University students "are tetter
acquainted with the major sports
events of the day than they are
with the news vents.
This was indicated in a poll
taken by the Daily Nebraskan to
discover how much the average
student knows about current
events. The questionnaire con
tained three questions concerning
important stories of national and
international importance and
three concerning sports events
that have occurred within the
last week. All of these news
stories have appeared in the
Daily Nebraskan.
"Oh no! Don't ask me. 1
haven't read a newspaper except
the rag since I got back to
school," was the response gained
from a good number of the peo
ple interviewed.
Questions Asked
The questions asked and the
responses received are as fol
lows: 1. The United States has a new
Secretary of Defense. Who is he?
Only 47 percent of those polled
knew that the new Secretary was
Gen. -George Marshall, who
was named following the forced
resignation of Louis .Johnson.
Two percent thought that James
Forrestal, the first secretary of
defense who committed suicide
about a year ago, was the new
man. Fifty-one percent had no
idea Who had been named. Some
students professed ignorance that
a change had been made.
2. Last week, the North Ko
reans offered peace terms to the
United Nations. What were they?
The terms were never offi
cially offered However, it is re
ported that the terms .offered
were that the Americans were to
withdraw to the Pusan beach
head, . that the North Koreans
withdraw behind the 38th par
allel, and that free elections be
held.
Don't Know Terms
Ignorance of any of the terms
was professed by 47 .percent of
the students. Twenty-seven per
cent knew some of these provi
sions, and the same percentage
of students knew all of these
provisions. Only four percent of
those polled recognized the fact
that these terms -were not actu
ally offered; they were merely
rumored.
3. The United Nations is meet
ing today to make a decision
about some aspect of the Korean
situation. What is it?
The correct answer was: t-3
determine whether or not .United
Nations troops should cross the
38th parallel.
This was the answer given by
45 percent of the students. Eight
Kosmet Klub

Those houses which have al
ready begun work on their

is flexible .enough. ,
Skitmasters who still are not
certain about the general out
line are requested to .contact
either Efeiffer or Frank .Jacobs.
"What Kosmet Kiub wants in
its Full Kovue this year is mu
sic, comedy, hilarity and drama
all masterfully woven into the
muin theme by the participating
groups," ,uid Pfeiffer.
Kosmet Klub will keep in
touch with the organized houses
as regards the type of skits and
detullii.
Soviet- inspired imperialism
would be met by force. It was
not a war against communism as
such, for logie would then have
demanded that we continue to
fight communism and communists
wherever they might be found.
There is certainly no such inten
tion on the part -of our govern
ment, and it would prove highly
unpopular among most of our
friends in the United Nations.
There seems to be a clear un
derstanding on the part of our
State Department that while
communism is likely to gain even
more adherents it can become a
real threat to the peace of the
world only when it is organized
into a single power block. To
accept any other point of view
would be to give full credence to
the arguments of those who ad
vocate a "preventive war." Our
present disposition is to divide,
but not try to conquer.
The Korean pisode lias
brought about a fundamental
change in American foreign
and domestic policy. We will no
longer depend upon a mini
mum of mobilised power while
indulging In' a maximum of
talk about peace. Henceforth,
we shall lead from strength
rather than from weakness.
Such mobilization seems nec
essary, but this sad turn of
events involves one of the most
wasteful expedients known to
modern industrial societies. Di
version ol our productive re
sources for military ends must
inevitably lead to a lower stand
ard of living and an uneconom
ical utilization of human re
sources. Real income will be
lower and consumers' goods will
be in shorter supply. Men and
women of military age can ex
pect that their education . and
their occupational pursuits will
be interrupted by a period of
service. The future is therefore
lar from pleasant, although there
is no reason to believe in the im
minence of another major war.
Total military mobilization will
have significance if it is paral
leled by total concentration on
the building of a peaceful world.
With all of its hazards, an ex
pansion of our power may enable
us to maintain the power balance
in suspension until men every
where agree that international
respect and understanding is a
higher value than the extinction
of either a proletarian or a
bourgeois civilization. Wars be
gin in the minds of men. We are
about to test what kind of men
we are and what kind of minds
we've got.
percent thought the issue was
that of seating the Chinese reds,
while 45 percent had no idea
why the group was meeting.
Baseball Leaders
4. What two teams are ahead
in the National and American
league baseball pennant races,
respectively?
Seventy percent of those polled
knew at least one of the league
leaders, Philadelphia's Phillies in
the National league and New
York's Yankees in the American.
Both teams were named by 48
percent. Thirty claimed that they
had no interest in the baseball
race.
5. What football team is Ne
braska playing on Saturday?
Indiana was correctly identi
fied by ninety-six percent of the
students. A few bookworms sug
gested that Nebraska was play
ing Minnesota and Kansas State.
One obviously deluded student
swore that Slippery Rock Teach
ers was the team.
Heavyweight Champion
6. Who was the man officially
crowned heavyweight champion
this week?
Ninety-eight percent of the
students knew immediately that
this man was Ezzard vCharles,
who beat Joe Louis in their 15
round encounter on last Wednes
day night. Only two percent
didn't know his identity.
Several of the students were
able to give all statistics for these
sporting events, but .could not
identity any of the major news
events. Virtually everyone knew
the heavyweight champion but
only about half could identify the
man who was named Secretary
of Defense. It is quite probable
that General Marshall's appoint
ment will have vastly more in
fluence on the lives of the aver
age American than will any
sporting event.

Huskers
t
With Spirit
By Ruth Raymond
Cornhusker fans turned out
1,800 to 2,000 strong Friday
night for the first rally of the
season. Spirit, cooperation and
real-rally backing was shown
with much enthusiasm between
7;15 and 7:45 pan. in front of
the Union.
The rally came across Vine
Street led by the cheerleaders,
victory belL pep band and Tas
sels and Corn Cobs.
As the Tally came down 16th
street students joined the ranks
of the Cornhusker boosters. The
crowd assembled in front of the
Union steps which served as a
platform for the Pep band and
the cheerleaders.
- Clark Speaks
"Potsy" Clark speaking to the
students, said that he was sure
that now that Nebraska had the
team and the coaches, the real
spirit would be behind the team
Saturday.
"Pod" Klein led the fans in
the "Cornhusker" and the j
"Chant," which have been re
vived this season. The enthu
siasm that was shown during
these songs was indicative of the
Cornhusker spirit that is also
"being revived.
Just as the rally was breaking
up Bill Glassford stepped to the
front of the Union steps and was
greeted with an ovation that
showed how the Cornhusker fans
feel about their football coach.
Glassford commended the spirit
and feeling that he felt was what
his Cornhuskers needed for that
extra push.
Turnout Good
The turn-out at the rally was
as good as expected, according
to Piccolo. He praised the stu
dents for their cooperation dur
ing this first rally. Piccollo felt
that the rally was made a suc
cess by well-conducted, well
behaved and high-spirited Corn
husker backers.
Standing in front of the Union
listening to the pep , band play
the "Cornhusker," hearing horns
honking and students screaming
and yelling at the top of their ;
lungs, and knowing that they are
Nebraska students backing their
football team, made ieach of the
2,000 fans realize the importance j
of team spirit and boosting.
BY ROD RIGGS
Rah rah! What with the foot
ball season officiaDy underway,
and students settling down to
classes, the Union program is
swinging into high pitch all to
give the stu
dents relaxa
tion and en
tertainment. Saturday
night is a
combo dance
in the ball
room. The un
official title
for this dance
is "Emanon"
,( n o name
spelled back
ward). Aaron
Schmidt and his ''Cowboy and
Indian" combo will provide both
music for dancing and half-time
entertainment whenever the urge
overtakes them. Seriously,
Schmitty has one of the best
combos that we have ever had
on this campus. Not only are they
good to dance to, but, when they
decide to, they are also good far
chucks. The show they put on
is worth walking a mile to see
and hear.
The Craft shop opens this
week and will operate all year.
Once again, Mrs. Charles Cole
man will direct the activities
every Tuesday and Wednesday
night from 7 to 9 p.m.
The craft work is actually a
pretty fair arrangement. All you
have to pay for is the cost of the
materials that are used. All of

day night Nearly 2,000 Nebraska students attended the rally and
boosted the spirit for the Nebraska-Indiana "game. "Potsy" Clark
and coach Bill Glassford gave pep talks and rousing cheers rang
out. From left to right those pictured are: Ira Epstein, Jerry

Big Sister Fall Plans Include
Home, Union. Coke Parties
University Coed Counselors
are trying a new plan this year
for meeting their 'Little Sisters.1
Instead of meeting individually
during the fall, they are meeting
in groups of four or five Big
Sisters and their respective Little
Sisters for coke parties. These
meetings are held in homes in
Linooln, houses on the campus,
Union, and many other available
places.
For those who don't understand
just what Coed Counselors are,
an explanation should be given.
Each spring any upperclassman
on the campus who desires to be
a Coed Counselor files with the
Coed Counselor hoard. These
girls are all interviewed and be
tween 150-,150 are chosen for this
work. Each girl is assigned from
two to four "Little Sisters." These
Little Sisters are all of the girls
who rre coming to the Univer
sity for the first time the next
fall.
Summer Correspondent
The "big sisters" correspond
with their "Little Sisters" during
the summer and try to acquaint
them with the University.
In the fall the Coed Counselors
contact these girls, meet them for
cokes, show them around the
campus, and, in general, make
them feel at home at Nebraska.
In the spring, the president
and -vice president of Coed Coun
selors are elected from the entire
group. Board members are also
chosen who then elect the rest
of their officers Each of the
board members is in charge of
approximately 12 "Big Sisters."
These groups then divide into
smaller sections in order to meet
for the fall parties.
Smaller Sections
Refreshments are served at
these parties and someone usually
speaks to the girls. These talks
concern University traditions, ac
tivities, organizations and any
thing which might be helpful to
the incoming girls.
The Coed Counselor organiza
tion has been on the Nebraska
campus for quite a few years. It
the instruction and the use of the
tools and facilities are free.
So, if .you have "burning de
sire to make something all your
own, stop down to the craft shop
and inquire. It will be strictly
to your own advantage. .
And then there's always the
Crib for coffee, the book nook
for reading, and the music room
for culture. -C'mon and get in on
this .college life.
Rah rah! Drop around.
