Colored Cards There will be 24 red cards for Red Division ' Continues Strong Push The South Korean Sixth divi sion retreated in disorder in northwestern Korea where it lost one-third of its men in combat. American tanks and artillery attempted to stop the 10,000 reds and Chinese communists from advancing. The red advancement caused the seventh regiment of the Sixth division to pull back more than 30 miles. The Sixth and Eighth divisions took a severe beating in an at- v tpmnt in crivp snnnnrt tn the . - - f " -" 0- . 1' I Second regiment. American fighter-bombers de stroyed 12 red tanks and six self-propelled guns. Inland, South Koreans were a held off by the reds in an at- tempt to capture two vital power dams.

Assembly Action Legal experts say that the general assembly can extend an incumbent's term when the council does not submit a new name.

From the time the train started its journey to Lawrence, stu dents sang songs, rallied and the Burton Marvin To Speak at Avery Lecture Burton Wright Marvin, dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism, University of Kansas, will be the speaker at the second annual Samuel Avery lecture Thursday, Nov, 2, at 7:30 p.m., Love Library auditorium.

Dr. Goldhor Of American "Goals for American Librarian ship" was the topic of Dr. Her bert Goldhor's speech before the annual convention banquet of the Nebraska Library Associa tion, held at the Cornhusker ho tel, Oct. 27. Dr. Goldhor is pro fessor of library science at the University of Illinois. He named the basic goals as: clarification of library objec tives, development of an inte grated system of libraries, in creased knowledge of library op erations and development of li brarianship as a profession. He declared a need for library objectives if there is to be good planning. The objectives must be measurable, realistic, unitary and significant. Dr. Goldhor was concerned about the duplication, overlapp ing and gaps in the present li brary service. Most library sys C. J. Frankforter, colonel in the poor person who though he would get a little shut-eye was distressed. People roamed from one car to another cheering and collecting spirit for the all-important game. Cow bells rang from one end of the train to the other. Pep Band Plays One highlight of . the trip was Aaron Schmidt and his pep band. They played such popular pieces as "Goodnight Irene," "Music, Music, Music" and "There Is No Place Like Nebraska." The snack bar was a meeting place of many friends for coffee and coke. When the train rolled into Lawrence everyone clamered off and started to follow the band down the main street. A mass rally took place and Nebraska students and rooters took over the business district of the small city. The Lawrence police gave them an escort. Lawrence citi zens came to the - streets and watched the big parade. After the rally the fans formed a snake dance. At the game the NU boosters, hoarse from the pre-game rallys, kept cheering for victory. Carry Glassford When the game was over everyone dashed to the field to congratulate the players and the coaches. Coach Glassford was hoisted by his players and car ried out of the stadium in triumph. The goal post which the Kan sas police said could not be shaken, fell to the ground with out much struggle. It was re ported that the goal posts had not been torn down for 29 years. It had been cemented in and the framework was of steel. People on the Kansas side of the stadium stood up, watched the spectacle and didn't leave their seats for several minutes. Visit Campus Until 9:15 p.m., when the train departed for Lincoln, the migra tors went to sorority and fra ternity houses and down town. Because of NU victory, the trip home was full of rallys and sing ing. About 11 p.m., tired from the long day and unable to make the vocal cords function proper ly, the jubilant Cornhusker fans began to settle down to try to catch a wink of sleep. It was nearly 2:30 a.m. when the train came to the home sta tion. ' Discusses Goals Librarianship tems in the country are inde pendent of each other legally, and lk of the population is with out library service, he said. He recommended the creation of more regional libraries, and a policy on the part of all libraries to honor their patrons' borrow ers' cards to remedy the situa tion. . Dr. Goldhor urged that librar ians be critical of themselves and build their operations on facts. In this manner, and by estab lishing standards of service and literature, he concluded, librar ians will be able to have their profession reach a higher stage of development. Annie Kramph of North Platte addressed a luncheon on Thurs day. She spoke" on the develop ment of libraries in the state of Nebraska. Raymond A.
