PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Monday, October 9, 1950 i A a I 0 Your Signature . . . During the war, there was a story of drafted workers In a Nazi-occupied country who conceived a simple method of losing work hours. Some time during the day every worker WOUlCl Stop to sneeze, ue ms snoeiacea or sume Mhev small not that would take onlv five minutes. Such common occurrences like sneezing were not suspicious to the guards and these workers until the war's end. At first riance five minutes does not seem like a great loss in work Hours. But wnat speuea uie aiiierentc was the total number of workers who contributed in the effort If 10,000 sympathizers wasted five minutes each day, the total intentionally lost hours would be 833 an unbelievable amount when you consider each person "gave" only five minutes of his time to the effort. This story is an illustration of small individual efforts whose importance was magnified by their sum total. An rther ATATTmla begins todav on the campus Crusade for Freedom. The Crusade is appealing to all Americans for their signatures on the freedom scrolls. These signatures will be flown to Benin ana ensnnneu m me ua.oc ui m Freedom Bell as part of the United Nations day ceremonies. The Crusade is attempting to prove to those behind the Iron Curtain that all of America is One signature, your signature, may seem too small, too insignificant to be necessary for the success of the program. But that is the very basis upon which the ideals of Crusade rests. An individual pledge by every American would eo further in lifting the Iron Curtain, than the great oratory of diplomats ana mgn government vAi.ivia. Th rviisftdft is vour weapon in the war of ideas. It is a concrete expression of your desire to extend this ireeaom to au peoples or we world. It is your counter attack against the Russian propaganda that has enslaved me minus ot me peopie ue hind the Iron Curtain. The emphasis is on you, the individual. It is your m-emotiim fMftd to those of millions of other freedom- aoAkinc tieonle. that will rive force and power to the program for peace. The Crusade for Freedom is your way to neip.

Tuesday, Oct. 24 will be set aside as United Nations day, an international holiday. It was es tablished by a resolution of the United Nations general assembly to celebrate the signing of United Nations charter in 1945. Principal speaker at UN Week last fall was Chancellor R. G. Gustavson, who spoke on "Atomic Energy and Interna tional Relations." The main speaker at this year's main con vocation has not been announced &s yet. UN Week and UN Day will be celebrated in the United States by over 70 national organizations. In addition, many United Nations members around the world will celebrate the occasion. Today's Hope This year UN Week is stress ing the responsibility of the in dividual in building a successful United Nations. The slogan for the week is "Today's best hope for peace is UN plus you." Members of the UN Week com mittees were selected from stu dents who applied as workers at the NUCWA mass meeting last week. They were selected in the basis of interest in the organ ization or previous work done on NUCWA committees. Any other University student who wishes to work on a UN Week committee should call Miss Jones at 5-3896. It is not neces sary to be a member of NUCWA to serve on a committee. According to Miss Jones, host esses and hosts are still needed for the coffee hour. Crusade Continued from Pare One women will use the symbol of the bell which will be dedicated United Nations day, as the "V" symbol was used against Nazi tyranny. He calls it "a rallying symbol for all those working for freedom. Freedom Scroll The Freedom Scroll, which all University students will be asked to sign, reads: "I believe in the sacred ness and dignity of the individual. "I believe that all men derive the right to freedom equally from God.

The time was early March, 1947. A Polish immigrant was descending from the ship that had brought him to America. For him, it was the unfolding of a new life a life which had been filled with oppression for many years. Today, this man is a well known member of the Univer sity of Nebraska faculty staff. He is Austrian born Dr. Al fred F. Dombrowski, statistician at the University department of business research and a gradu ate student of business admin istration holding a European de gree of law and economy. The events of Dombrowskrs European career read somewhat like a fiction thriller. Educated in Vienna Son of a general in the Aus- tro-Hungarian army, Dr. Dom browski received his education at Austria's most famous and expensive school, the Theresi- anum at Vienna. When the Austrian monarchy collapsed, he became a Polish citizen, and soon was placed on the Polish foreign service. This was due, he explains, to his ex tensive knowledge of the French and English languages. Dom browski served on this agency twelve years, finally as a consul in New York City. After a political purge, he be came manager of a large indus trial concern in Upper Silesia, Poland. Polish Officer Dombrowski served as a Pol ish officer in the early stages of World War II. Then he was sent by the Nazis to Germany as a forced laborer and imprisoned. After D-Day, he worked for the U.S. military government as a prosecutor, a defense coun sel and an interpreter at the war crimes trial at Salzburg. He was chosen to be one of 'Rag9 Reports On Students' Smoking Habits About fifty-six percent of the University students smoke. This was revealed by a Daily Ne braskan poll taken of approxi mately 125 students. Investigators asked students eight questions designed to re veal campus smoking habits. The questionnaire contained inquiries to the brand smoked, what par ents thought of the practice, and others. The questions asked were as follows: 1. Do you smoke? Forty-four percent of those polled do not indulge in the habit and as stated before 56 per cent smoke. 2. What brand do you smoke? There were three of the pop ular brands that were way out in front. The rest of the people smoked lesser brands and sev eral said, "I smoke anything I can mooch." Did you smoke before you came to college? 3. A little over 31 per cent acquired the habit before they entered the University. Several persons who did not smoke be fore they came to the Univer sity said they started at that time because "everyone else does, so why shouldn't I? 4. Have you ever tried to quit? About 57 per cent have tried to quit but none have carried out the promise they made to themselves. One person suc ceeded for two years when he was in high school but started again when he came to college. Another quit for one year. Sev eral gave the habit up for Lent and succeeded. Others tried to stop for one or two days, some for one to four months. 5. How much do you smoke in a day? About 41 per cent smoke about one pack of cirgarettes a day. Next highest was 24 per cent who smoked about one-half a pack a day. Two packs a day was the most that anyone smok ed. A few students indulged to the extent of one and a half nacks a day. 6. Do your parents approve? The parents approved doesn't seem to mal.e a great deal ot difference as 55 percent of the smoker's parents do not approve. In some cases mother doesn't ap prove and father does and visa Dance Group Initiates Ten Initiation was held Oct. 4 for 10 new members of the Orchesis society in the dance studios in Grant Memorial. Four girls were elected as new officers. The officers are: Shirley j Sidles, president; Shirley Marr, ; publicity head; Dee Downing, ra- i dio head; Colleen Rankin, art j Faculty advisor is Mrs. Ed Wea ver. Both Orchesis and Pre-Orcbe-sis are groups composed of girls interested in modern dance and in learninz more about its per formance. The 25 members of each group meet from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. every Wednesday evening to work out new tech niques and to stay in condition for the vigorous routines they execute. Two annual recitals are given each year by Orchesis. Plans are underway for the Christmas re cital; tentative date for perform ance is Dec. II. The second re cital of the year will be given in the spring and may be included in the College Days celebration. Admission to ooth recitals is free to the public Orchesis is urging student at tendance at the Sadler's Wells Ballet, appearing Nov. 20, at the Coliseum. The ballet troup is making a coast-to-coast tour which Includes 29 cities. Last year the English company aet theater attendance records in each of the cities it visited. f c A V Dombrowski the first to obtain an immigra tion visa to the United States. When arriving here in 1947 he was penniless. He recalls that he first worked as an elevator operate- in a New York hotel for several months. Teaches at Creighton Receiving a position at Creigh ton university, Omaha, in 1948, he instructed French and Ger man language classes there for a year before coming to Lincoln. Besides collecting and ar ranging statistics in his office at the Social Science building. Dombrowski has made a com prehensive study of Nebraska's alfalfa industry, the first of its kind. About the United States, Dr. Dombrowski says: "It's simply wonderful! Here, everyone can make a decent living free from oppression, although it is a bit hard for immigrants, if they are elder men and intellectuals. For an alien child, it is a paradise." Survey Results versa. Some say that their par ents don't say anything one way or the other but their general 'opinion is that they don't care for the practice. 7. Do you smoke in front of your parents? Whether the parents approve or not the interviews showed that 78 per cent smoke in front of their parents. The remaining 22 per cent seem to be those who do not want their folks to know about it. 8. Do you think it is worth the expense? The answers to this question came out even, fifty per cent think it is worth the expense and fifty do not. When asked why they didn't quit if they didn't think it was worth the expense, several said it was be cause they couldn't quit They had tried but didn't succeed. From the results of this sur vey, it Is found that more of the students smoke, most of them have tried to quit and except in a very few cases. There seems to be no parental problem about the habit. YW Rendezvous To Signup Frosh The YWCA freshman rendez vous will be held Wednesday in Ellen Smith hall from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Freshmen are asked to sign up for commission groups. By join ing the groups especially planned for freshmen, they will become better acquainted with YW ac tivities before joining different activities during the second se mester. Freshmen are not restricted to the freshman commission groups, but attendance in these groups permits the freshman member to vote, whereas they cannot vote if they attend only the regular commission groups. Susan Pryor and Shirley Ransdall are in charge of the rendezvous and may be contact ed for more information. Refreshments will be served.

Sponsored by all the Ag Union activities committees, the pur pose of the open house is to ex plain the facilities of the Ag Union as well as to give the freshmen and incoming students information as to the various or ganizations located on the cam pus. The Hobbies and Handicrafts committee, headed by Jayne Car ter, has invited those who at tend the open house to see their display and talk to the instruc tor, Mrs. Charles Colman about the things that can be made in the Craft shop. Miss Carter emphasized that those who are interested could purchase supplies early, and be ready to start when the Craft Shop opens Tuesday, Oct. 17 from 3 to 5:30 p.m. According to editor Eleanor Erickson, the Cornhusker Coun tryman will construct a display to show the students some of the methods used in publication.' Most of the organizations on Ag campus plan to either prepare a booth or paint a sign telling what it is and how any interested persons may join. Riley Smith's orchestra will furnish the music for dancing in the gymnasium starting at 8:30 p.m. Miss Hollis Eggers, Ag Union activities director, emphasized that even if a student if super stitious about Friday the 13th, he is assured a good time. Col-Agri-Fun Date Changed To Oct. 27 The 19th annual Col-Agri-Fun night will be held Friday Oct. 27 in the Ag College Activities building according to Jan Ross, manger. Other members of the Col-Agri-Fun board are: Dick Crom, assistant-manager; Dorothy Bow man, secretary; Joyce Shaner, treasurer; Jack Wilson and Jerry Johnson. Originally scheduled for Oct. 28 the fun night was changed due to a conflict with migration plans. The purpose of Col-Agri-Fun is to give the Ag college stu dents a chance to present skits and curtain acts for the enter tainment of the public. A traveling plaque is presented to the house presenting the win ning skit and a $10 prize is giv en to the top curtain act If one organization wins the plaque for three consecutive years it auto matically becomes their perm anent possession. Love Memorial hall has taken first place for the past two years and will have a chance to be come the owner of the plaque if they win again this year. The name of their winning skit last year was "Exam Week" which portrayed a girl studying for two exams on her birthday. Ag YMCA took first place cur iam aci prize money iasi year with their rendition of "Profes- (tor Paddv-nnsher an1 His Peda- phone. Names of skits and a rough draft of their content have al ready been turned in to the Ag College Dean's office. Draft Rejection Rate 50 Percent Almost one-half of the men examined for the draft in August have received rejection notices. Of 207,038 men examined in the second month of selective service, 100,413 or 48.5 percent were turned down. In July 52.2 percent of the 12,281 taking pre induction tests were rejected, the surgeon general's office reported. In August 20.1 percent of the draftees failed to pass the physi cal examination. The July re jection rate for this cause was 26.8 percent. The number failing to pass the intelligence test in creased from 15.2 percent in July to 17.6 percent in August. Mobilization co-ordinator W. Stuart Symington disclosed that he will try quickly to reach "an overall, agreed policy" on shar ing manpower among the vari ous requirements of the defense program. Mr. Symington said he feels that "our scientists should be given exemption" from military service. Major Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of selective service, said this week that the argument that scientists and pro fessional men should be deferred, because they are rare, "is a lot of baloney." on 'CHRISTIAN SCIENCE: Tha Way to Fulfill God's PurpoM GRACE JANE NOEE, C.

Included in the week's activities will be a book display, convo cations, a facultydebate, a coffee hour and the annual Inter national Friendship dinner. Honor System Successful At University So many articles have been published on the various meth ods of cheating by college stu dents that the general impres sion is that there is no honor in any school. However, many colleges and universities have an honor sys tem. Among them is the Univer sity of Virginia. Any student or faculty mem ber will explain that "the uni versity is proud of its honor sys tem" and "it works." The main feature of freshman orientation is an explanation of this system and how it works. A formal speech is given by one of the university's adminis trative officials, who discusses honor, its practice at Virginia, and the procedure followed if a breach of honor occurs. The as sembly then moves to classrooms where students can ask ques tions of student leaders and where they sign honor pledges. When a student has accepted the honor system as his own, he is ready to register. The student knows the honor system well and is proud of it. An examination is conducted in this manner: the professor hands out the exam, asks if there are any questions, and leaves the room. During the time allotted, the students are free to talk (about anything except the exam), can walk out have a coke, and in general, relax. This plan is especially beneficial to the students because the usual strain and tension is gone. Because of the honor system, students are trusted completely until they are proved unworthy of trust. Whenever this occurs. it is a sad day indeed at the Uni versity of Virginia.

MAIL ORDERS NOW Of Virginia notice: "The honor system re grets to announce that a student has been dismissed;" then the honor breach is named, but never the name of the student. Student Jury In this case, the student was accused by his fellow student and brought before a jury, also composed of fellow students. The defendant has every chance to plead his case for he choose his own "lawyer" and witnesses. The trial takes place in the Moot Courtroom of the Law School. If he is acquitted, the matter is dropped, there are handshakes all around, and the court records are burned. However, when a students is found guilty, he is dismissed and the black-bordered notice appears. These cases are rare for "Honor is a tradition at Virginia."
