Days will be handled by Dick
ivusKa ana i'oochie Rediger, re
spectively. N
The appointments, announced
Tuesday by Gene Berg, general
chairman of the project, bring the
total number of students on the
general committee at present to
nine. Other positions will be an
nounced in the next few days,
Berg continued.
Kuska will make arrangements
for the parade which will include
floats from each college, organ
ized house and organization. Lo
cal high school bands will par
ticipate in the parade and pos
sibly out-of-town bands.
Show Services
The parade, says Kuska, will
attempt to show some of the
services the University offers to
its students. There will be humor
in it as well as educational fea
tures.
Concerning the College Days
project, Kuska believes that it is
"a medium by which to let the
people of Nebraska and sur
rounding states know what spirit
and enthusiasm students at the
University possess."
He hopes College Days will
help create good will toward the
University and show some of the
educational benefits students re
ceive as well as develop spirit
and lasting loyalty to the school.
Rediger'g Duties
Miss Rediger will be in charge
of a 30-page colored souvenir
booklet which will include pic
tures and writeups of all events
of the three day celebration. In
addition, Miss Rediger says it

pus organizations, displays and
a schedule of events.
Speaking about' the project,
Miss Rediger commented that it
Parisian Theme to Dominate
At First French Club Party
First meeting for the newly
reactivated University French
club will be a party Wednesdav,
Oct. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at Parlor Y
in the Union
A Paris cafe compete with
small tables, wine bottle candle
holders and French music will
provide the atmosphere for the
affair.
Refreshments, in the form of
French pastries and coffee will
be served free of charge to those
attending.
According to Karl Pond, gen
eral chairman in charge of the
party, all university students en
roll in any French course from
beginning French to advanced
classes are invited to attend. In
addition ,any students interested
in French, though not now tak
ing a course in the language,
may attend.
Revived This Year
The French club is being re
vived this year on the Univer
sity campus after a one-year ab
sence. The entire French de
partment staff is serving as spon
sors for the group.
Students attending the party
will sit in tables of four. They
will thus have the chance to
get acquainted with each other
and with members of the French
department staff who will join
the students at their tables in
an effort to meet all the stu
dents. The instructors will teach old
traditional French songs to stu
dents as part of the evening's
program. All will gather around
the piano for group singing.
"It will not be like the usual
group singing," says Pond,
"where a leader waves a baton
at the students and the students
try their best to read the lips
of the leader and follow the
best they can, without realizing
what they are singing or under
standing the words."
Master of Ceremonies
Master of ceremonies at the
party will be Pond, who has
served as "gag-man" at a num
ber of parties at other univer
sities which he has attended.
Born in France, Pond came to
the United States in 1940. He
was graduated from the Univer
sity of Wichita.
Chopin's waltzes and other
music will be. played on the piano
throughout the evening by
Robert Firestone, an assistant in
the German department. Fire
stone will accompany the group
for the French songs.
Two plans are being put into
operation in order to help the
beginning Fenrch student under
stand the proceedings at the
French club meetings this year.
The first idea will be to have
the speakers and leaders speak
their French more slowly.

would take "a lot of work not
only on the part of the sponsors
and general committee members,
but of members of all organiza
tions, the faculty and students."
Help University
"If successful, it can be a won
derful thing for the University,"
she said. "It will prove to Ne
braskans that students here pos
sess the ingenuity and ability to
sponsor such a gigantic event."
It may also convince many
high school students that the
University is the school they want
to attend, she continued. "Lots of
them have little idea just how
classes are held here and what
advantages and benefits are of
fered by the University. This will
provide an excellent chance for
them to learn."
French during the meetings will
be translated on a microphone
so that all bewildered students
can follow what is going on.
"The translations will be
steady, and beginners or people
not too sharp at their French
will not lose out on anything,"
says Pond.
On the planning committee for
the Wednesday evening party are
Romance language faculty mem
bers Dr. Charles Colman, Miss
Marion Crain, Miss Daphne
Adams, Pond, Forrest Hazard
and Barbara Gist.
Plans for the coming year in
clude parties, meetings with
speakers and song sessions. Be
sides the traditional French
tunes, current songs now pop
ular in France will be taught
members of the club at a later
date.
Not Compulsory
There will be no fees for dues,
and according to Pond, attend
ance is not compulsory to French
students, though the program of
fered during the year will be
educational and will help stu
dents in their classes.
"We are planning on a big
year," says Pond. "We will try
to give good interesting programs
at our meetings and are hoping
for a good active French club.
Other Romance language de
partment faculty members who
are not on the general planning
committee but will attend the
party are Dr. Boyd Carter and
George McMurray.
Nu-Med Members
Will Hear Leuth
Dea'n Harold C. Leuth. of the
University College of Medicine
will be the principal speaker at
the first meeting of the Nu-Med
society, Wednesday, Oct. 11 at
v:3U p.m.
Meeting place is the Love li- i
brary auditorium. i
Dean Leuth's topic will be
The Physician in Modern So-!
ciety."
According to Walt Gass. vice-
president of the society, fresh
man pre-med students are espe
cially invited to attend this meet
ing, i
Gass also stated that any up-
perclassman or freshman who ,
desires to join the organization j
is eligible for membership if
registered as a pre-med pre- i
nurse or lab technician student.
Nu Med society hold regular ;
monthly meetings featuring qual-
ified speakers who are either
engaged in medical education
field or the medical profession.
The society was established in
1894 by pre-med students who
felt pre-professional students
needed the unity of an organiza
tion.
Wellesey Makes
Absence Survey
Tho Nebraska has never taken
a servey of overnight or weekend
absences, an Eastern girls school
reveals the results of a survey
or overnight absences from col
lege during the first semester of
last. year. Jt showed that approxi
mately one-quarter of the stu
dents at Wellesley College were
away from Friday to Sunday on
Harvard-Yale week-ends.
One of the objectives of this
survey was to determine of and
when weekend absences reached
their peak. Thanksgiving week
end ran second, with 355 absen
ces as compared with 413 for the
weekend of the big game.
Sophomores, with 555 weekend
exits, led the classes. Seniors ran
a close second with 621, and.
juniors and freshmen had 371 j
and 363 respectively.
Sophomores also scored first in
a check of total number of over
night absences first semester,
with 2,454. Seniors took 2,179;
freshmen, 1,781; and janiors,
1,550. These figures are signifi
cant only in relation to the size
of the classes and the number of
1 a.m. restrictions to which they
are subject.
Would Nebraska U. compare to
these figures?
THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Education Council Accuses
Textbooks of Prejudice, Bias
There is much prejudice found
in the American textbooks now
used in. our schools, says an ac
cusation made by the American
Council on Education in a
pamphlet as reported in a re
cent issue of the New York
Times.
The council states that many
textbooks used in schools and
colleges are guilty of "perpetu
ating antagonisms" through
careless wording, inaccurate
writing and serious omissions.
As a result, it says, students
often receive distorted and in
many cases dangerous pictures
of minority groups.
The accusation was made on
the basis of a study of 515
school textbooks and college
manuals. The study was sup
ported by the National Confer
ence of Christians and Jews.
"Many instances of inaccurate
writing, revealing a 'hidden btes'
on the part of the author, were
cited in the study. One book
linked 'Jews and athlests' and
another coupled 'Jews and Com
munists.' Many texts described
Negroes generally as being
childlike, superstitious and com
ical." "The pamphlet says that in
treating the various minority
groups, the textbooks err in fail
ing to emphasize the contribu
tions of these groups to Ameri
can life. For example, many his
tory books ignore the Negro
people after the Reconstruction
Period. Descriptions of the reli
gious, social and general cultural
activities of Negroes are either
not given at all or are so general
that they are almost without
meaning."
According to the study, many
Book Quotes
Old Prophets
On War Result
Two World Wars between the
United States and Russia were
predicted by prophets of unim
peachable authority 2500 years
ago says the new book, "Tho
Beast and the Prophet." And,
the book adds, the United States
is definitely given the nod to win
the third World war but will
take a lot of punishment in the
fourth.
The author is Paul S. Donham,
ex - Scripps - Howard newspaper
man, editor and non-fiction
writer who devoted a quarter
century to research and investi
gation before writing the book.
It is being published this week
by The Story Book Press, Dallas,
Texas.
The author notes that it is a
fallacy to assume that the proph
ets of Assyria, Israel, and Rome
were mere visionaries. In many
cases even kings were subject
to their word.
Many of these parchment pre
dictions have already been ful
filled and have become history.
Prophecies were made which cor
rectly foretold many world events
hundreds of years before they
were fulfilled.
The prophets even extended
their strange powers into our own
future to. foretell the circum
stances, major actions and out
come of the third, fourth, fifth
and ' sixth world wars, says the
book.
The author quotes the proph
ets to prove that the present
trend toward united action among
nations will eventually result in
a single world empire and even
tual world dictatorship.

or me textbooks committed a
serious error by stereotyping the
group member rather than
bringing out the variety of in
dividuals within that group. As
an example of this stereotyping
some texts make the blanket as
sertion on the so-called super
stitious Negro: "The Klansmen
struck terror into the heart of
the superstitious Necroes."
Observations were made that
the more modern texts empha
size "cultural democracy," which
recognizes that the differences in
the background of Americans of
various descent may be an asset
instead of a liability. In this con
nection texts and courses should
emphasize the "worth of the in
dividual" and cover the contri
butions and present-day prob
lems of the American Indians,
the Chinese Americans, the Jap
anese Americans and our Spanish-speaking
minorities.
The American Council on Ed
ucation recommends that ' the
books contain "passages focused
directly on the description and
exposition of contemporary in
tergroup relations," and that ed
ucators, authors and publishers
frown upon the indirect refer
ences and eliminate them.
