Koreans Face New Red Push Attacking Red battalions Korea drove back Republic in of Korea troops in some sectors Wednesday. In other areas, slowly advanc ing Americans reached the shores of two resevoirs which produce power for Manchuria as well as Korea. The troops encountered little resistance around the Chang j in reservoirs. Well pre pared defense positions were found abandoned. A U. S. First Corps spokesman said that Chinese are using North Koreans as a screen while Chinese communists prepare stronger positions in the rear. Acheson Speaks About 'Tragedy' Secretary of State Dean Ache son declared in Washington 'that the United States must do every thing possible to keep Chinese intervention in Korea from plunging the world into "a tragedy of the most colossal nature." Meanwhile, John Snyder, trea sury secretary, proposed a 75 per cent tax on excess profits of corporations, He would use the taxes- to pay for the expanding defense effort. Truman has said that profits are soaring under the. rearmnament program. Police, Telephone Workers Fight Police and striking telephone workers fought a two-hour battle in Philadelphia Wednes day. Police charges on picket lines enabled telephone workers of an independent union to get to their jobs. The Philadelphia clashes came as the telephone strike neared the end of its first week. Ten sion was reported to be mounting on picket lines across the nation. Cautious Spending Requested for State ' In Lincoln the budget com mittee of the state legislature urged cautious state spending. The legislature members are looking about for possible ways to cut state expenditures. The budget committee report recommended careful considera tion of the appropriation re quested for the University Medi cal School hospital in Omaha. "Should a reduction in the University's overall request be found necessary," said the report, "It would seem only logical that a reduction could well be made in other University activities sufficipnt to prevent the curtail ment of hospital funds." Consideration was also urged of having the University hospital 'take over all or part of the care and treatment of patients now in the Orthopedic hospital at Lin coln, the Hospital for the Tuber culous at Kearney and the In dustrial home at Milford."

Broadway Theme All of the skits will portray "A Mythical Tour of Broadway," which is the central theme of the Revue. Scenes will depict the general atmosphere of Broadway Every group participating in the Fall Revue must meet at 7:30 p.m., sharp, at the Coli seum for dress rehearsal. as it appears to the theater-goer, the man on the street, or perhaps a tourist in New York for the first time. The accent of the show Is on comedy and music. The fall and spring Kosmet Klub shows have unfolded quite a history. Since the Klub was originated in 1911, it has shared a unique position with only one other well-known organization of its kind in the country. In 1911, several members of the junior class of that year worked together in presenting a play for the entertainment of the student body. Annual Event The venture was so successful that they decided to make it an annual event and accordingly or ganized a men's dramatic society which they named the Kosmet Klub. During the Klub's beginning years, women were allowed to participate in the shows. How ever, in 1927, the demand for an all-male cast caused the Klub to return to its original policy. Girls in the shows were ignored for awhile. In 1940, a mixed cast appeared in the Fall Revue and in 1941 coeds participated in the Spring shows. Since then, coeds have not taken part in the shows. There was probably never more color to a Kosmet Klub show than in the spring of 1927 when, during a production, the ancient Playhouse theatre, one of Lin coin's oldest, burned to the ground, leaving the organization owing $4,000 for property losses. To make up the deficit, two hurriedly-produced revues and a benefit ball were organized. 1929 Fall Revue Highlighting the 1929 Fall Re view was the premiere of the song, -"Sweetheart of Nebraska," written for the annual presenta tion of the Nebraska Sweetheart by Joyce Ayres, '30, and Lamar Burling. In 1936, the Spring Revue, "Southern Exposure," with its perennial all-male cast, paraded before the newsreel cameras, with Paramount, Fox and Universal News companies making the trip to Lincoln. The films were na tionally distributed. The Klub was inactive during the war years of 1943 to the fall of 1946, but has returned full strength with Fall Revues and spring musical comedies. Styles Shown At Counselors' Annual Dinner Versatility was the keynote in the fashions modeled at the Coed Counselor banquet, Wednesday, Nov. 15 in the Union ballroom.

Sunday Last Pheasant Day Nebraska's 23-day long phea sant season, already accepted as one of the most successful and productive hunts in recent year, draws to a close Sunday, Nov. 19, one hour before sunset. But with the end of the phea sant season, Nebraska hunters needn't lay down their guns. They can continue shooting ducks and geese until Dec. 3. The rooster pheasant limit this year is four, larger than any other state in the nation. This in itself shows the excellent Job the State Game Commission has done in building up the Wildlife resources of Nebraska the last few years. -::'.WM:MWW iiji. ij-u , mihiii immm iwiwuu mj.n llf Jill ttf. f-' HiBil pllSlifilllll 111 BLUE PRINT HEADS The staff heads of the 1950 Blue Print; publication of the Engineering and Architecture College confer with Prof. John H. Paustian (seated right), chairman of the publications board. Students are Howard Duncan (seated), editor; George Cobel, (left), business manager and George Andreasen, general manager. Prize Winning Blue Print Published for 50th Year The Blue Print, official maga zine of engineering and archi tecture students at the Univer sity, began its 50th year of con tinuous publication with the Oc tober issue. It is notable not only for the length of time it has been in existence, but also for the honors it has won in competition with schools who are members of En gineering College Magazine As sociated. For instance, last year the magazine's editorial page won second place among the . 32 entries. An alumni news column, collected by Miss Maud Melick, College of Engineering and Ar chitecture secretary, was given third place. Articles in the Blue Print are all student written. except Miss Melick's col umn - aithe Dean's Business Group Discusses Prices "Why control prices at the present time, if at all?" will be the main topic for discussion at the bi-monthly forum of Alpha Kappa Psi, professional business fraternity, today at 8 p.m., in the Union. The topic will be enlarged upon and these questions will also be considered: If such con trols are desirable, should they be universal or selective con trols? What effect would they have at retail,- wholesale and manufacturing levels? Would you also include rent and price controls? The program will be present ed by Richard M. Bourne, as sistant professor of economics and labor relations; Vic Eitel, OPA rent attorney; Robert L. Ferguson, owner of a local brick yard; and Clifford M. Hicks, pro fessor of business organization and management. John Pfann is chairman of the professional committee and will act as mod erator for the group. 707 Students Ente Competition For M The annual Moot Court will begin Dec. 1 when the first two pairs of upperclassmen in the law college will present their cases. This court is a mock one modeled after the Nebraska Su preme Court and the United States Supreme Court. It is called the Allen Court for Thomas Stinson Allen. A plaque in his honor is located in the law building upon which the names of the annual winners are inscribed. The court Is under the super vision of Prof. James Lake of the law department and a board of student advisers headed by Kobert Moodie, a senior in Law College. The judges for the upperclass men competition have not been named as yet, but they will be Lincoln lawyers, Prof. Lake said. Senior law students will judge tne iresnmen trials. Seml-Flnalists In the semi-finals will be William Berquist and Robert Scoville vs. Lewis Pierce and Leonard Hammes Dec. 1 at 3 p.m. The winners of this argu ment will meet the. team of Robert Moodie and G. E. Stahl next spring for the finals at the state capitol. The winners in the freshmen competition last year, now sec ond year men, who will argue are as follows: Bryon Johnson and Joe Koer- ber vs. David Downing and John Doyle Dec. 4 at 1:30 p.m. William Sturgis and Duane Mitchell vs. Asa Christiansen and Russel Strom Dec. 4 at 3:15 p.m. John Kalbin and Cine Uggla vs. Don McArthur and William Morrow Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m. Jul ward Carter and John Grad- Corner, the work of Engineering Dean Roy M. Green. The editor and his assistants decide what should go into each issue and make assignments to other students. An article on Nebraska industry is included each month. Not Suppressed As a student project, the Blue Print may or may not agree with the college's administrative policies. If it doesn't, it says so editorially. The faculty never has tried to suppress any of the writings. Only Sledge Jr., the magazine's joke page, ever has been censored by professors on the publication board. The magazine is independent in other ways too. It is entirely on its own financially, receiving no college subsidy, as copiparable publications in other school fre quently do. Originally, the magazine ap peared only once a year and contained reports by professors and alumni. The first Blue Print had a distinctly Pan-American flavor, reflecting the United States' increased interest in ter ritorial expansion at the time. Among the articles were one on the Cuban sugar industry and another on Havana's sanitation system. Improvements Voted The first issues of both vol umes one and 50 reported on improvements which would make homes more comfortable. The first edition advocated care ful planning of interior lighting whether gas or electric; the October 1950 issue reports on, tall towers which bring better television reception to millions of Americans. Howard Duncan is student editor of the 1950 Blue Print. George Cobel is business man ager while George Andreasen serves as general manager. Prof. John H.

The yell squad, which is to be 'made up of only male students, will now be coached by the ath letic department. Tentative plans for the squad include an advis ory board from the atthletic de partment, appointment of a regu lar coach for the cheerleaders, consistent workouts, supervised training and possibly awards. Suggestion was made by the Council last week that girls be allowed to act as alternate yell leaders, cheering only for home games and not taking part in tumbling. The athletic department em phasized that training and coach ing of both men and women yell leaders would complicate the pro ject and be hard to handle. They recommended that the policy of having only male cheerleaders be carried on. No Enthusiasm Discussion held by Council members on the problem brought out the opnion that perhaps the tumbling and athtletic abilities of the yell squad do not particu larly arouse team enthusiasm. Rob Raun, Council president, indicated that th.s will be taken into consideration in the selec tion of future yell leaders. It was also argued that the present plan is not particularly representative of the Univer sity. Some Council members felt, too, that women students should be given a chance to participate in leading cheers. Can Be Changed Raunn said "If this plan proves unsatisfactory, the Student Coun cil can withdraw authority from the athletic department." He also indicated that the Council can make recommendations to the yell squad under this arrange ment. The legislators were asked by Raun to discuss with their re spective organizations the possi bilities of setting up a point sys tem for men students. This suggestion was introduced to the Council by the student ac tivities committee; Last year the point system for men was discussed on the basis that it required too much admin istration for the good it did. Seats Reserved A motion was approved to re serve a block of seats for the faculty in the west bleachers of the Coliseum if they still are in favor of such a plan. The liason committee of the faculty presented the proposal to the athletic department. The mat ter was then referred to the Council. Miriam Willey, acting secretary for the group of delegates to the Student Council convention, listed the subjects which will be presented by the University dele gates at the convention. They are: migration seating, orientation program, Independent Students association problems and devel opment of traditions. Basketball Ticket Sales Start Nov. 27 Basketball tickets for Univer sity students, faculty members and the general public will go on sale at the Coliseum ticket office, Monday, Nov. 27. Tickets for the students and faculty will include admittance to basketball and all other sports during the rest of. the school year. Public tickets will cover basketball games only. Business Manager A. J. Lew andowski announced that the faculty tickets will be $4 and student tickets, $3, tax included. Ticket Prices Reserved seats for the general public will be $1.50 and general admission tickets, $1. The Student Council reported earlier this year that the entire side of the Coliseum and the west bleachers would be re served as a student and faculty section at basketball games. The Council campus improve ments committee met with Ath letic Director Potsy Clark and, through the cooperation of the athletic department, set up the student-faculty seating block. Provide Better Seating: The purpose of the plan is to provide better seating for stu dents and to develop more spirit at basketball games. Under the new system the student-faculty section will be re served until a definite period be fore game time. This period will probably be five or ten minutes. B.
