He also broke both the rushing and scoring records of the Big Seven. THE ADMINISTRATION ... for deciding to be gin Thanksgiving vacation a day earlier than usual. If the brief recess can start Wednesday morning rather than Thursday as it has in the past, many of the students can make it home by Thanksgiving day without cutting classes. STUDENT DRIVERS ... for their enviable safety record during the past year. Statistics show that the percentage of 16 to 25 year-old drivers causing acci dents in Lincoln is much lower than the national aver ages. This record is especially commendable because of the presence of the University and number of student drivers.

We are grateful that reader Rohr was not "dnpeo by the obvious communistic views of the organisation and slnrerely hope that other students do not believe The Daily Mebraskau Is swinging toward the left.) To the Editor: In the November 29th edition of The Daily Nebraskan there nneared an article headed "U.S. Asked to Join Peace Movement." It told of a letter sent from behind the iron curtain to the free students of America, asking that they join a great peace move ment. The Communists are crying peace in order to weaken our resistance and to lull us into a false sense of security. Obviously, this letter is another part of the phony Communist peace propa ganda program. Soviet propaganda has won for Communism large sections of both Europe and Asia. Millions have been conquered without a shot being fired. Without a doubt, Russian propaganda is a dangerous weapon. Why, then, did the "Daily Nebraskan" echo their phony argu ments in that edition? At first I thought the article was an attempt at irony which had failed. However, after rereading it, I find that the article gives the impression that the writer endorses this plan. Surely this is a false impression. With ever increasing evidence of Communist treachery and hypocrisy, no thinking person would let himself be duped. Of would he? Dennis K. Rohrs VImva, and, ithivA, (This column is written at the request of the Editor of The Daily Nebraskan but is intended to reflect no other opinion than that of the author.) No one, and not least the American people, can afford to minimize the dangers in the new turn of affairs in Korea. Simple logic would dictate that if we were right in our action in June and that is the opinion of this writer we can not now repudi ate lightly the p r inciple which im pelled us to act in concert with the U.N. then. If the South Korean com munists were guilty of aggres sion in June, the Chinese com munists are guilty of aggression in November. Politics and diplomacy, how ever, are not always dictated by logic. It is relatiyely easy to up hold principles and policies against weak powers. It is some thing else again when big pow ers are involved. We may be forced to run away today in or der to be better prepared to fight again some other day and in tome more desirable place. The present uncomfortable sit uation stems from ignorance of Chinese intentions. If the Pei ping government is concerned only with limited territorial ob jectives, a new major war may be averted by delaying tactics. A. T. Anderson If the Chinese are bent upon the "liberation" of the entire Korean peninsula we will have' a tragic choice. We can either withdraw from Korea with the least pos sible cost in lives and write off all of the eastern and southeast ern mainland; or, we can declare China and her ostensible ally, the U.S.S.R., aggressors, and ring up the curtain on World War III. Korea is no place to launch such a total war. Hope in these times Is some thing of a luxury, but the hope of limited Chinese objectives should not be excluded. For the Peiping government to interpose her authority in the Korean mat ter would give her a bargaining position in the U.N. which she has hitherto not had. A world anxious to avoid catastrophe would not likely refuse to com promise because of the violation of a principle. It is not unreasonable to spec ulate that the Chinese may be seeking only a better bargaining position. That would mean a set tlement of the Korean problem, the Formosan problem, and the problem of Chinese representa tion in the United Nations. Many Americans, with their habit of the short view rather than the long view, might find compro mise under pressure repugnant, but it could conceivably be the only alternative to total war. Meanwhile, Chinese interven tion in Korea is nothing less than overt aggression and it can be interpreted to mean that pro fessions of peace in the mouths of communists are as hollow as though uttered by the usual gar den variety of international bandits.

EDITORIAL Mltnr Brnee Kennedy High Frequency By Art Epstien Today I thought that it would be nice to take a trip behind the mike at KNU, and explain to you part of the working ma chinery that makes your radio station Junc tion. The radio station is di vided into four main sec tions. These sections, bus iness and ad ministrate n, programm i n g, perf orma nee, and engineer- jj inrf Q f a ihfl amjsBBiasBsas" easvsnasi lllg, Bi Li It. sections that Epstien keep the programs flowing smoothly five days a week. Before I tell you about the sections and how they operate, I would like to say that they are the same sections that any ra dio station of 250 watt power would hame. Station KNU is set up in order that all students can obtain actual experience in every phase of radio work. Each section is headed by a student. In order that all students may have a chance to gain know ledge in all fields, the section heads and their assistants are changed every nine weeks. Now that you have a brief idea of how the function chart is plan ned, here is an idea of how the sections work. Business and administration group is the only area that in cludes faculty members as an actual Dart of the section. The remaining sections are staffed by students only. Because the sta tion is not a commercial one, there are no funds to handle, so business takes a back seat to the administration. The second area, program ming, includes the planning of all programs. This section desig nates what programs will go on the air at what times. This work may sound simple, but in reality it is a job that takes con siderable time and effort. It is up to the programming staff to time the program, write the con tinuity, pick the music for the disc shows, and perform numer ous other tasks that allow for split-timing station precision. The people that do the actual performing of the shows are part of the performance area. These are the announcers and actors who spend many hours laboring before themike so that you, the listener, can enjoy the radio shows that are presented over KNU. Last of the areas is the en gineering section. Technically speaking, no station can operate without engineers, nor could a station function properly with out any of the other sections, for they are all dependent on each other. The engineer sec tion is the least glamorous of the four areas. It is the respon sibility of the group to install, operate, and maintain all the equipment of the station. Be cause of the importance of this section an engineer must be on duty at all times. To explain, in detail, the func tions of all four KNU areas would fill volumes, but I hope I have given you the general idea of how your radio station KNU functions with the people that you don't hear about, but with out whom the station could not operate. Thats all, Paul. Carols . . . (Continued from Page 1) A shining star will hang from the stage ceiling. Bob LaShelle and Marcia Pratt head the Union music committee which is in charge of arrange ments. Previous Crowds The two performances have been planned to accommodate crowds which have come to the concert in previous years. "The Christmas carol concert seems to begin Christmas cele bration for a number of people," Westbrook says. University Singers began work ing on the concert at the begin ning of the year, the Fine Arts dean says, end along with the presentation of the Messiah and the work with the Scottsbluff clinic .it comprises the major work of the Singers for the se mester. The carols in the concert are traditional folk-song arrange ments which had their origin in many different countries. The carol concert contrasts with the "Messiah" type of music. bach year Westbrook adds new carol selections to the program. First Carols According to Dr. Westbrook, the singing of carolst began in this country when the Phi Beta Kappa chapter at Yale univer sity held a Christmas carol pro gram many years ago. David Bliss Reed of the Yale faculty collected the tunes for the program from European countries and gathered the origi nal folk arrangements to be sung in America. This movement at Yale really began the practice of singing Christmas carols of all nations. Soon people became interested In the carols. Harvey Gaul and Clarence Dickenson were two men who began arranging the carols for mixed voices. Follow-up of the carol concert will be the presentation of "The Messiah" Sunday, Dec. 10. . MMlj ... 4 ft Vennlx By Arthur J. Vennlx This column isn't due in the editor's office until noon on Tuesdays. I usually sit down at my battered old typewriter about 11:15 on Tuesday to dash it (the coliinm, not the t y p e writer) off. There's just no point in waling until the last min ute. From force of habit last Tuesday, I sat down at 11:15 and idly ran m y lingers through m y hair. With a very slight modicum of success, I stirred up a few skimpy ideas to put on paper. At about midpoint in my com position it dawned on me that you'd all be home gnawing on turkey we had meatballs and spaghetti and wouldn't want to be interrupted by my column anyhow. Besides, the "Rag" wasn't- published Thanksgiving day. On Saturday afternoon, just before the start of the big game, I addressed a meeting of the Lincoln chapter of the American Interprofessional institute. This is quite an impressive group of men, made up chiefly of deans, prexies, doctors, lawyers, clergy men, professors, and so forth. I was scheduled to review some books for them, but I let them in on a little confidence; that I consider oral book re views one of the most boring things in the world to listen to. Such frankness on the part of a j Eldon Schafer Fills Union Post Eldon Schafer is the new Union general entertainment committee chairman. He re places Anne Barger, who re signed recently. The general entertainment chairman supervises the work and activities of the committee. These include Sunday night movies, exam movies, campus quarterbacks and talent' show. NU Bulletin Board book reviewer seemed to take them slightly aback. What with no ladies present, I managed to scare up a couple of old jokes that helped restore their aplomb and mine! The upshot of it all was that I managed to talk for about 35 minutes about everything ex cept books, and for only about five minutes about books. The titles I picked out to mention, I consider quite sufficient. An ani mated discussion afterwards seemed to indicate that they agreed with me, more or less. For that reason, I list below the authors and titles about which I told them. Overstreet, Harry A., "The Mature Mind." Myerson, Abraham, "Speak ing of Man." Stewart, George, ''The Year of the Oath." . Lattimore, Owen, 'Ordeal by Slander." Hayakawa, Samuel I "Lan guage in Thought and Action." Johnson, Wendell, "People in Quandaries." Korzybski, Alfred, "Science and Sanity." If you have not alrealy read all of the above, I can recom mend them to you. They're all good, solid, meaty books that will most likely stimulate your think ing. The one reservation I have to offer is that you read the last three in the order named. If you try to assimilate "People in Quandaries" ahead of Hayaka- wa's book, you'll be likely to wind up in a quandary yourself. Friday "Suppressed Desire" an?

OTH STREET surance that neither Communist China nor Soviet Russia have, at present, the capacity for wag ing a successful total war, but this action suggests strongly that both seem willing to jeop ardize the chances of peace. Faced by that threat there Is no alternative but to prepare for j the worst. It is that fact, what ever happens in Korea, which will surely alter the entire pat tern of American life in the next few months and years. The question has been asked if McCarthyism had not so di vided the American people that the Chinese felt that they could move with impunity into the Korean picture. It is highly un likely that such calculations had anything to do with the decision. It still remains a tragic fact, however, that McCarthyism was, and is, one of the most despic- j able hoaxes foisted upon the American people. A few Ameri can editors, who insisted to the end that, "McCarthy has got something," should publicly re cant their errors and take a new , look at the facts of life.
