Debates Issue
A proposal for supervised stu
dent necking on a faculty-sponsored
lovers' lane along the
wooded shores of Lake Mendota
was rejected by the Dean of
.Women at the University of Wis
consin. The Dean of Men tended to
agree with her.
Mrs. Louise Troxell, Dean of
Women, stated that the Univer
sity didn't plan to follow the
advice of Sociology Professor
Howard B. Gill and place benches
for love-making under "reason
able supervision."
Acting Dean of Men, Theodore
Zillman, agreed that the pro
posal probably would not be ac
cepted. Benches and Lighting
"But Td like to know just
where the benches would be and
what kind of lighting they'd have
before coming out for or against
the plan," he said.
President of the Student Board,
Karl Stighorst insisted however,
that Gill had the correct idea
when he suggested that boys and
coeds be permitted to smooch
under "standards of courtship"
drawn tip by the University
leaders.
"Campus policemen go sneak
ing around trying to catch stu
dents in the act," he said. "We're
more interested in preventing
students from going off the deep
end than in lying in wait for
them."
Find Our Answers
Meanwhile, at Norman, Okla
homa, a Union Oklahoma mar
riage counselor said couples
should "perhaps find their own
answers" to the problem.
"It's not a good idea to set
side one place and say to the
students, this is the place for
loving,'" said Mrs. Roberta Or
tenberger. She agreed wtih Gill
that "Couples will court no mat
ter what" and should have a
suitable spot for hand holding.
Otherwise, she said, prolonged
"goodnight kissing" in front of
girls' dormitories might result
"in nervousness and tension or
hasty marriages."

NUCWA Adviser Terms
UN Week 'Successful'
"United Nations Week on the
University campus succeeded in
making students, faculty mem
bers, and Nebraskans aware of
the importance and existence of
the United Nations," Dr. S. J.
House, faculty adviser from
NUCWA states in summing up
UN Week activities.
Though the attendance at the
functions were not as great as
we would have preferred, how
ever, the week has far reaching
results, he adds. '
Some of the activities which
Dr. House refers to are the Cos
mopolitan club debate, the fac
ulty round table discussion, the
coffee hour and the All-Univer
sity convocation with Chancellor
Gustavson. ;
More than 3,000 University
students and faculty members at
tended the convocation, which
was held at the Coliseum Thurs
day, Oct. 19.
UN Flags
House points out that people
in other sections of the country
refused to fly the United Nations
flag because they did not believe
it proper to fly the banner of
an organization of which Russia
is a member.
In Highland Park, 111., a United
Nations flag which was flown
below the U. S. flag was taken
down after a past president of
the DAR and spokesmen of sev-
Clara Snyder
Guest Speaker
For Banquet
Mrs. Clara Gebhard Snyder
will be guest speaker at the El
len H. Richards dinner, Thurs
day, Oct. 26, in the Union ball
room. Mrs. Snyder's talk on home
economics and journalism will
CLARA SNYDER
be based on her experiences as
director of the Wheat Flour in
stitute in Chicago and as a free
lance writer.
The banquet, an annual event,
is sponsored by the Home Econ
omics club. Its purpose is to com
memorate the birthday of Ellen
H. Richards, who founded home
economics.
Included in the program will
be group singing. Dorothy Bow
man, Ag YWCA president, will
give the invocation. Home econ
omics students and faculty will
be present.
Annette Stoppkotte, president
of the Home Ec club, will serve
as mistress of ceremonies.
Chairman for the dinner is
Marcia Adams. She is assisted by
Annette Carahan.

eral other organizations objected
to it.
In Groton, Mass., the town
board refused to accept the gift
of a United Nations flag for the
same reason. Plans to fly the blue
and white banner of the UN on
all city flagpoles in the city of
Aurora, 111., were discontinued
when objected to by certain citi
zens. "In view of this lack of faith
in the United Nations which has
been demonstrated in several sec
tions of the country, what has
gone on here at Nebraska is a
good indication that the people
here are not the isolationists that
they are reputed to be," House
explains.
Students Understand
"University students do appre
ciate and understand the purposes
of the United Nations," he adds.
A great many people in the
United States seem to believe that
the United Nations should be an
alliance of democracies. They
object to the presence of Russia
and her satellites in the organi
zation. "But the purpose of the or
ganization," points out Dr. House,
"is to make it possible for na
tions who disagree to get "to
gether and try to settle their
difficulties peaceably."
"One of the gravest mistakes
that we can make would be to
not take advantage of the oppor
tunities to attempt to reach
agreement with the nations and
the peoples we disagree with,"
the University faculty member
adds.
"Many Americans say of the
UN: 'There are commies in it,
and the United States is getting
too involved. We should stand
alone without the UN.'" Dr.
House says.
These people are exhibiting
nationalism to an extreme degree,
and they are hindering the work
of the United Nations toward the
establishment of world peace
through this nationalism, he adds.
Dr. House believes that too
much emphasis is put on the
United Nations activities in the
realm of interstate politics.
"The place where the UN is
doing its most magnificent job
is in the less publicized fields
that aren't so much news. Some
of these fields are opium con
trol, international health, UNES
CO and many others," continues
Dr. House.
Successive
Dr. House, who is a member of
the political science department
staff, believes that on the whole,
United Nations Week was suc
cessful and educational.
"As the faculty sponsor of
NUCWA, I am very pleased with
the time and effort devoted to the
promotion of interest in the
United Nations which was shown
during United Nations Week," he
states.
United Nations Week, which
began Oct. 16, ended yesterday
with the international observance
of United Nations Day.

The movement to bring dis
placed persons to the Nebraska
campus will continue as long as
organizations offer aid as they
have during the first year of op
eration. The project which was first
given impetus by the Student
Council m 1949 was placed un
der the jurisdiction of the Re
ligious Welfare council during
the second semester of last year.
The Council regarded the DP
situation in terms of emergency.
Because of the time element in
volved, it was decided that the
Religious Welfare council could
act sufficiently fast.
Romaine Rasmussen was ap
pointed to "boss" the undertak
ing. Members of the committee
included Keith Stephenson, Mir
iam Willey, Alice Jo Smith, Mary
Sidner and Vladimir Lavko.
Faculty aclviser was Bernard
Fuhr.
. A Splendid Idea
Many other groups felt that
the idea of bringing worthy for
iegn students who needed help
to the University was a splendid
idea. It was generally believed
that such students would make a
definite contribution to the cam
pus if given good starts.
One survey found that they
were industrious, democratic and
religious. The health record of
DPs compared favorably with
trjat of any normal American.
A number of organizations
Merrier Football
Contest Winner
Bob Mercier is $5 richer for
winning last week's Crystal Ball
contest in The Daily Nebraskan.
Mercier, who named the cor
rect winer in all games but the
Iowa-Purdue clash, was the 20th
entry in the contest.
Second place prize of $3 went
to Larry Carney, a University
football player, who selected the
winner in all games except the
UCLA-Stanford game. Carney
was the 36th entry.
Don Weber won the third prize
of $1. He also named all winners
but the UCLA-Stanford game.
He was the 38th entry.
No contestant chose all win
ners. The next Crystal ball con
test will appear in Thursday's
Daily Nebraskan.
In case of ties, the student sub
mitting his entry first is the
winner.
Winners may pick up their
checks in The Daily Nebraskan
business office.

made cash gifts in order that the
movement might be successful.
Included in this group were the
Religious Welfare Council, YW
CA, Presbyterian House, St. Paul
Methodist Church, Terrace Hall,
Adelphi. Intervarsity Christian
Fellowship, Towne Club, Inter
fraternity council, Junior League
of Omaha, Iinternational house
and All University Fund.
All transportation from New
York to Lincoln was provided,
mostly by the Presbyterian
House.
The Board of Regents decided
to grant scholarships for the pro
ject. These scholarships are con
tinuing this year.
In addition to the various so
cial groups on campus, the down
town Lincoln businesses showed
unusual interest in the plan.
Stores Provide Clothing
Four clothing stores furnished
everything in the line of wear
ing apparel.
Books were allotted to the
DPs by one of the bookstores.
This even included more ex
pensive equipment such as en
gineering supplies and drawing
sets.
One barber shop offered hair
cuts for the foreign students.
Laundry was cleaned by four
local establishments.
And for recreation, the ath
letic department of the Univer
sity invited the DPs to take in
the football games without any
charge of admission.
Ten students matriculated at
the University during the first
year of the program. These stu
dents and their respective coun
tries: Jane Abend, Czechoslovakia;
Amis Aumalis, Latvia; Andrew
Bodor, Hungary; Henry Jedlin
ski, Poland; Joe Klischuk,
Ukrania; Louis Stur, Hungary;
Max Szklarczyk, Poland; Alex
Sonnenwirth, Austria; Mar
Sirks, Latvia; and Zecha Buchs,
Latvia.
Two New DPs Enroll
This year, two students have
become members of the Univer
sity under the present set-up.
They are Tonis Anvelt, Estonia,
and Leonardo Gewlatis, Lithu
ania. Subjected to the horrors of
war, the DPs have expressed
their deep appreciation to the
project's benefits. Most of the
students have suffered experi
ences that are uncomprehend
ible to a"ny American student.
One of the DPs was prisoner
at the infamous Buchenwald
concentration camp. One's fam
ily was deported to a USSR slave
camp, btul another can't forget
the fate of his father who was
deported to Russia and liter
killed.
