Traffic Problems . . .
Schools all over the country seem to be having their
traffic problems. Some university newspapers, for in
stances, have been so concerned with the situations on their
respective campuses that they have run numerous editorials
and other articles giving their sure-fire proposals to remedy
the problems. One such school ran a four column map
of the campus on first page with "x's" marked where acci
dents had taken place.
Let's take a look at our campus. At ten minutes until
8 a.m. eacn morning ana at noon, j.4tn street is a maze
of cross traffic. Automobiles run in continual streams
and thousands of students
houses and dorms on the
east.
ji;very automoDne ariver ana every peaestrian nas a
code by which he drives or walks. For instance, most car
drivers signal when they want to turn and come to a halt
at stop signs. This is their code. University students and
pedestrians have a code of conduct, too. But such practices
as jaywalking and traffic light running seem to be a part
of their code. Their rules say that it is all right to cross
streets in the middle of the block and walk through red
lights.
The biggest crime in this behavior lies not in the fact
that pedestrians are making the car owners wear out their
brakes or be late for work or school. The biggest crime
will come some day when a motorist does not wait, does
not stop to let a crowd of students through when he has
the right-of-way.
The Daily Netraskan could also be running editorials,
stories and maps before the year is over, showing where
accidents have happened on our campus and recommending
solutions on how conditions can be improved. But we
hope we won't have to.
(Ed. note: We thank tudnts Arman, Kelley, Yanders, Holt and Olsen for calling
attention to the error In dateline. We have alwaya tried to present the newa "while
it ts atlll "hot," and evidently we auoceeded better-than-usual In thi laaue.)
To the Editor:
It has been apparent for some time that The Daily Nebraskan
staff possessed more than the usual amount of intuition. However,
it was a pleasant surprise to note that in the paper dated Friday,
October 27, the staff had written some rather remarkable prophecies
of future news: in particular, concerning the Kansas-Nebraska game
(including statistics).
We hope that this is an attempt to assist financially embarrassed
students "work" their way through college. But in the future, the
paper should be rele--"-' before the game, and not held until Mon
day. Yours for larger killings,

Pep Groups Announce Plan
To Start 'Cow Bell Tradition'
Nebraska will attempt to ini
tiate a "bell" tradition for its
football games.
In honor of the Victory Bell
ceremonies at Saturday's Home
coming game, Corn Cobs and
Tassels will sell small replicas of
the bell.
These will be ordinary cow
bells with a Nebraska decal on
them. The cost will be fifty
cents.
The pep groups urge all stu
dents to buy these bells and to
ring them each time that Ne
braska comes out of the huddle.
Dick Kuska, who is in charge
of the bells, said that they would
be used not only for the Home
coming game, but for all Ne
braska kames. In this way, they
hope to stimulate Nebraska's
school spirit
Stuffed Tiger
A stuffed tiger will be burned
at the Homecoming pre-rally on
Thursday at 7:15 pjn. in front
of the Union.
The rally will begin at the
Coliseum and ralliers will march
through the campus and over to
the Union for the ceremonies.
Ralliers will have a giant gath
ering on the campus Friday
night The Tally will begin at
7 p.m. in front of the Union and
continue around the campus. The
group will end at the Mueller
carillon tower. The five Pep
Queen candidates will be an
nounced at that time. Bill Glass
ford, all coaches, and all mem
bers of the football team will be
present to address the students.
The committee in charge will
also present a fireworks display.
10,000 Alumni
More than 10,000 alumni are
expected to attend the game Sat
urday. Business Manager A. J.
Lewandowski reported that the
only tickets which are still avail
able are 500 bleacher seats.
Highlight for the alumni will
be the annual homecoming buf
fet dinner to be held in the
Union ballroom from 11:30 a.m.
to 1 p.m. Several groups will
have special tables at the lunch

Nebraska is divided into four
Congressional districts with the
following incumbents: Carl T.

District; Eugene D. 0"Sullivan,
democrat, in
the Second

ea oniy one ,
term in Con- Anderson
gress, these gentlemen have been
singularly successful in perpetuat
ing themselves in office. Their
respective opponents this year
are: Clarence G. Miles, Howard
Buffett, Duane K. Peterson, and
Hans J. Holtorf.
There is a general pattern of
attack and counterattack which
characterizes all of the races.
The republicans have been noisy
in their denunciation of the
Truman administration and
(what they call) the democratic
Congress. The administration has
been charged with reckless
spending, precipitous movement
toward socialism, and bankruptcy
in foreign policy. With more than
slight reverbations of McaCrthy
ism, the republicans have hinted
darkly that the government is
infiltrated with communists.
Miller's slogan epitomizes the
point of view: "Get the govern
ment out of the red, and the reds
out of the government." Curtis
Digest Cites
'Cause' of MJ
Art Shakeup
The October issue of the Art
Digest published in New York
touched upon the subject of last
spring's internal turmoil in the
art department of the University.
Included in the article were
comments from Dwight Kirsch,
professor of art and director of
the University's art galleries.
Kirsch recently took a year's
leave of absence to direct the Des
Moines Art Center.
'Petty Storms'
Art Digest says:
"The exact nature of the Ne
braska unrest has not been re
vealed. But when, after 26 years,
a man of Kirsch's caliber has to
face petty internal storms which
caused three members of the art
faculty to resign and another, in
addition to himself, to ask for a
leave, there is something wrong
with the institution not with the
man.
"Whatever may happen at the
end of the year, the cause of art
in America luckily will not be
substantially damaged by the
blow in Nebraska.
"Whatever community Kirsch
blesses with his great talent for
bringing art home to the people,
we still will have him."
Reasons for Shift
In the midst of the turmoil, the
University disclosed the trim
ming of the art department's pro
gram. Kirsch is quoted by the
magazine as saying the factors
resulting in the program shift in
clude: "Changes in policy and top
personnel for no better reason
than that change itself seems de
sirable; lack of due considera
tion of the institution's obliga
tions to its community and to
sources of its support; lack of
faith in art standards and prin
ciples." Eleven Speakers
In Religious Week Activities
Eleven noted speakers will be I
on the University campus to par
ticipate in Religion-in-Life Week
activities next week.
Nine of the 11 are protestant
leaders, one is a Catholic leader
and one a Jewish leader.
The speakers will talk at
classroom discussion appoint
ments, at organized houses on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednes
day nights, and will speak at
convocations, seminars, "bull
sessions" and other meetings.
One of the most colorful
speakers will be Dr. T. Z. Koo,
noted Chinese statesman and in
ternational YMCA leader. Dr.
Koo will speak at Sunday eve
ning's convocation at the Union
ballroom.
Former Doane President
Dr. Bryant Drake, former
president of Doane college at
Crete, will address both a stu
dent and faculty seminar on
Monday. Drake is secretary of
the department of higher educa
tion of the Congregational Chris
tian churches.
Dean Charles McAllister, who
gave the commencement address
at the University in 1948, will
be available for a convocation
Thursday, a faculty luncheon
Wednesday noon and will show
two films on international re
lations Thursday night.
Rev. Roland Dutton, a chap
lain in the U.S. navy during
World War II, will speak at the
varsity football training table
Tuesday night.
Athlete
In his undergraduate days,
Dutton was an "M" club mem
ber at the University of Mis
souri. Dr. Joseph King was a leader
at the Lake Geneva conference
and has held pastorages at Law
rence, Kas., and First Congrega
tional Church at Oberlin, O.
Dr. King will discuss "Values
for Personal Living" at a student
"bull session" Tuesday night and
at a vesper service Monday at
S p.m. '
Dr. Jerry Voorhis, former
democratic congressman from
California, will speak at an Ag
college convocation Tuesday
has Implied that a vote for Miles
would be equivalent to a vote
for Alger Hiss. Ruffctt, seeking
a return to the post he lost In
1948, has accused O'Sullivan of
being "soft" towards communism.
Stefan has not had mueh to say.
He knows that he can win with
out opening his mouth.
In the three districts where
democrats are seeking seats now
held by republicans, the former
have brought their heavy artil
lery to bear upon the voting rec
ords of the incumbents. In gen
eral the emphasis has been upon
non-support for such measures
as ERP and pre-war aid to Korea.
Miles, for example, has sug
gested broadly that his opponent,
instead of worrying so much
about communism in Washington,
might well have concentrated on
those areas where it was more
evident.
Holtorf, in the Fourth District,
has charged Miller with being an
Isolationist. And so it goes,
charges and countercharges, with
the Nebraska voters left fully In
formed on what candidates won't
do but little Informed on the
question of what candidates,
once in office, will do.
The sterility of the campaign
has been relieved in part by the
active entrance of doctors and
dentists into politics. These up
holders of the slogan, "The Vol
untary Way is the American
Way," have used the money
a s s e ssed often involuntarily
against their association mem
bers to put on a rather impres
sive advertising campaign. They
haye come out in support of
specific candiates interestingly
enough, all republicans.
Mr. Miles, candidate for Con
gress in the First District, was
unkind enough to let the cat out
of the bag when he informed the
press that no representative from
the medical profession had asked
him where he stood on com
pulsory national health insurance.
He went on to imply that the
voluntary way was the American
way when it came to health
matters. That led at least one
prominent pediatrician to resign
from the doctors' committee.
In this election year, there are
great issues at stake. For the
voter there is at least some op
portunity of choice. But it is not
within the province of this
column to discuss such matters.
Submitted somewhat wearily,
and not a little warily, the fol
lowing forecast seems justified:
Stefan will win over Peterson;
Miller, with a reduction of his
usual majority, will win over
Holtorf; Curtis, barring last
minute efforts, will survive the
assault by Miles; and the race
between O'Sullivan and Buffett
could go either way. This is sim
ply an estimate of what may
happen, and not an expression of
what should happen.
Nu Meds to Hear
Lincoln Physician
Nu Meds will hold their second
meeting tonight in Room 316,
Union at 7:30 p.m.
The speaker will be Dr. Floyd
L. Rogers who will discuss "Dia
betes and its Effect on the Hu
man Being."
All pre-med, pre-nursing and
lab technician students may at
tend the meeting. Those wishing
to become members of Nu Meds
may do so at this time.
TNE Signatures

Someone got an early start on
Halloween. Or did they do it
after midnight Monday. The stu
dent body awoke Tuesday morn
ing to find that the TNE boys
had left their mark all over the
campus. The skull and cross-
bones even managed to get on
the halls inside the men's dorm.

Tuesday night.
Mission Leader
Author and traveler Ruth Sea
bury will take charge of a vesper
service Tuesday afternoon and a
student seminar Wednesday
night. She has been active in
the mission field and also in
young people's work.
A Yale graduate, Dr. Robert
H. Fischer has worked with
YMCA boys and student pastoral
work. He became professor of
church history at the Chicago
Lutheran seminary in Maywood
in 1949.
Rev. Joseph W. Bollard of
McCook will give the annual re
treat for the Catholic students,
which includes meetings at the
Union and conferences and
Masses at St. Mary's Cathedral.
Father Bollard has held par
ishes in New York City, Brook
lyn and New Jersey before com
ing to Nebraska four years ago.
From a Northwestern univer
sity student pastorship comes
Rev. G. Eugene Durham. Rev.
Durham will lead -University
students in recreational periods
each day during Religion-in-Life
Week. The recreation will be
held in the Union ballroom in I
coordination with Union com
mittees. Rabbi Simha Kling, present
assistant Rabbi and education di
rector of Bnai Emmonah Temple
in St. Louis, will be on cam
pus tc lead Jewish students in
their observance of the week.
Rabbi Kling studied in Israel for
several years and has a masters
degree in education from Colum
bia university.
He was graduated from the
Jewish Theological seminary in
1947 and is prominent in Jewish
youth work.
"Wh fs the Score?" is the
theme chosen by the Religious
Welfare council for the week.
Aimed at bringing religion closer
to each student's life, the week
is being planned by a committee
of 1D0 in cooperation with the
University Christian Missions, a
national group. The missions are
supplying the nine Protestant
leaders for the week.

A request program, for Ag

now at the Ag Union on Mon

a list of possible records by the
box to facilitate choosing those
you want. So come on over and
listen to "station" KDEL Mon
day afternoon, when "Respect
fully Yours" is to be the fea
tured program.
Holloween pranks were well
underway Monday night already.
The cars and windows around
the AGR house and FarmHouse
told a gruesome story to those
who went out Tuesday morning
to take their cars to class. Seems
as how the sirup, soap and other
things were distributed in abun
dance. The pranksters followed the
TNE delegation quite closely be
cause some of the other things
were stuck in the dry paint of
the TNE signs Tuesday morning.
Too bad they couldn't have met.
Coll-Agri-Fun is gone for an
other year. I have heard from
various people on campus that
this year's fun night was the
best that they have seen in years.
I'm inclined to believe that way
too.
From all outward indications,
construction has come to a stand
still on the new Agronomy build
ing. I kinda miss the roar of
those trucks carrying cement
from the mixer by the horse-
barn to the site of construction.
At the Ag YMCA meeting the
discussion was on the subject of
dating. All smirking smiles aside,
I do believe that a lot was
learned. If you are lacking some
thing to do on Tuesday nights,
the joint YM-YW meeting held
in the Home Ec parlors offers
great possibilities of meeting
new friends and learning how to
take part in discussions. There
are also some very good speak
ers at these meetings.
Such weather! Such weather!
It nearly brings back that "spring
fever" feeling. I notice around
Ag campus that shirtsleeves and
T-shirts are back in style. (That
is, they have hardly gone out of
style).
Zounds! Some of the fellows
didn't come in until the wee
hours of the morning Saturday
night. Did they have Lincoln
girls out? No, it was just that
the girls didn't have to be in be
fore the Migration crowd re
turned. The Ag Union building com
mittee is still meeting, trying to
make plans for a new Ag Union.
With the rising cost of materials
and this new NPA ruling against
construction of recreational
buildings, I'm afraid there isn't
much to do for a while. But I do
want you to know, that this com
mittee is still functioning and
we hope to have plans ready to
go whenever the situation clears
up.
That's all for now!

"Watch out for
University Soil
Reports Results
The idea that some of Ne
braska's claypan soils can't ab
sorb water successfully was ex
ploded Wednesday in a report by
one of the state's scientists at a
meeting of the Soil Science So
ciety of America in Cincinnati,
O., Wednesday.
Dr. F. L. Duley, soil conser
vation service researcher at the
University, told the group that
results of tests he has conducted
indicate that such soils may take
rain water or sprinkler irrigation
water readily. But, he said, care
must be used in the rate of water
application and protecting the
ground's surface. He prepared a
scientific paper on the subject
in cooperation with Paul E.
Fischback, University graduate
student.
Sealing Prevents Soak -In
In many cases, said the soil
scientist, the sealing over the
surface soil may be the greater
cause for water not being ab
sorbed rapidly than is the clay
pan subsoil. In other cases, he
added, standing water in slight
depressions may be due to the
accumulation of runoff water
from adjacent areas.
Dr. Duley said tests show that
in all cases the soil has taken
in as much water as usually falls
in one rain. In an experiment
on the E. J. Temple farm, south
west of Seward, the soil absorbed

The amount of water applied
