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-

program for peace. The Crusade for Freedom is your
way to neip.

Polish Immigrant
Now on NU Faculty
By Jack Phinney
The place was New York har
bor. 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

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.

Other members of the Col-Agri-Fun
board are: Dick Crom,
assistant-manager; Dorothy Bow
man, secretary; Joyce Shaner,

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

A traveling plaque is presented
to the house presenting the win

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."

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. The Cavalier
Daily carries a black-bordered
