Security Blackout . Blocks Information Chinese communist attacks against United Nations forces in Korea halted because of the allied , security blackout that prohibited any report on the movement of U. N. forces. Even though the actual fight ine is at a standstill, communists are still on the move, bolstered by two Mongolian cavalry di visions which brought to 27 di visions more . than 300,000 troops.

The general trend of shifting important discussions and work from the jurisdiction of the Security Council to that of the General Assembly in the United Nations was seen by Dr. Frank E. Sorenson in his recent trip to the United Nations headquarters. Dr. Sorenson, professor of sec ondary education at the Univer sity, traveled to Lake buccess to secuVe speakers for University convocations and to arrange for delegates and members of the United Nations Secretariat to appear on University programs. Research work is also being done by Dr. Sorenson for the de partment of public information in regard to teaching geography in the realm of international understanding. On Monday, Dec. 4, Dr. Soren son attended a meeting of the General Assembly. He sat in on session of the steering com mittee on Tuesday, Dec. 5. Discussion in the general as sembly was in regard to ad mittance of other nations to the United Nations. There are 14 na tions asking for membership at the present time. United Nations Constitution Under the United Nations con stitution, membership may be voted on by the general assem bly only after recommendation from the Security Council. Be cause of the Soviet veto power in the Council, none of the 14 nations have been recommended for membership. General procedure by the Council has been in the past to vote on the nations desiring membership individually. The Soviet Union is asking that all 14 nations be voted on as a whole. This would recommend for membership five nations that are under the Soviet wing, in cluding Communist China. Malik, Russian delegate, ar gued that the United Nations charter gives the authority for recommendation to the Security Council and should not be given to the General Assembly. Others in the Assembly pre sented the plan of "universality." This means that all nations should be admitted to the United Nations if they can meet the obligations set up in the charter. Vote Taken A vote was taken on the issue and the outcome of the vote left the matter to rest just where it started. Dr. Sorenson felt that the significance of the discussion was in that the United Nations delegates obviously aren't happy with, the situation as it now stands. "Before too long the gen eral assembly will take over the function of membership. It will be lifted out of the Security Council and given to the General Assembly," was Dr.' Sorenson's personal opinion of the matter, j Earn) Min n O) U 'Party9 Edtiion This is The Daily Nebras kan's "party" issue. Included in the "Rag's" 588 inches of space are 15 stories concerning campus Christmas parties of one sort or another. The display of Yuletide pro grams, concerts, talks, din ners, dances, sings and what not amounts to about 47 inches of copy, 1974 words and 63,168 spaces. Ag Economics Club to Discuss Asian Problem "What can we do in Asia?" This will be the Forum Discus sion topic at the Ag Economics Club meeting Thursday. Dr. A. T. Anderson, assistant professor of history, and Dr. C. Clyde Mitchell, chairman of the Ag Economics department, each having had experience in the Asia field, will jointly lead the discussion at the regular monthly meeting. Informality is the key note of the discussion, said Bob Herman son, Ag Ec club member in charge of the program. Anderson will lead off the dis cussion at 7:30 p.m. in telling the group what he thinks United States can do in Asia. Mitchell will follow with a fifteen min uate talk presenting his ideas. Continuing the discussion, both men will exchange ideas briefly. The floor will then be open to group discussion. Both men have studied the Asia situation exensively. Dr. Mitchell spent 25 months in Korea immediately after the Japanese surrender in 1945. He was administrator of the Na tional Land Administration of Korea, employed by the United State government. Anderson has studied the en tire Asia situation and is cur rently instructor of History 102 at the University. The course deals with contemporary Asian problems. Bob Hermanson said that all University students who are in terested in the problems of Asia are invited to attend the open meeting. Reports On Headquarters In attending a session of the steering committee, which plans what is to be on the agenda for the General Assembly, Dr. Sor enson observed a discussion on the question of bringing up Chinese communists intervention in Korea. Vishinsky, Soviet Union dele gate, argued that the matter had been settled in the Security Council within its rights, and should not be brought up again. It was decided in the Security Council, because of the Russian veto, that the issue would not be put on the agenda. Vishinsky was backed in his argument by the Czechoslavakian delegate. Heated Debate According to Dr. Sorenson, a terrific debate was carried on. The final vote was 11 to 1 in favor of putting the question be fore the General Assembly. Dr. Sorenson noticed that re cent developments on the prob lem have put the matter before the political committee of the assembly. Dr. Sorenson expressed the opinion that action will be taken soon. "Just what the final out come will be, I do not know," he added. The main significance of the whole transactions, according to Sorenson, is the shifting of power out of the Security Council to the jurisdiction of the General Assembly in order to by-pass the Soviet veto. Meadows Addresses Initiation Dinner of Beta Beta Gamma Sigma, national business administration fraternity giving membership to the upper 10 percent of business adminis tration seniors, held its initiation dinner Tuesday evening. Six members were initiated into the group; Ralph E. Barr, Nancy Joyce Buck, Donald J. Carlyon, Richard W. Dorff, Wil lard V. Gelwick, and Kenneth A. Legg. During the business meeting, officers were elected. Former of ficers were: William Sorensen, president, Wesley Lueth, vice president, and Prof. J. O, Burnett, secretary-treasurer. The program for the dinner was led by Forrest C. Blood acting as toastmaster. Meadows Speaks Dr. Paul Meadows, associate professor of sociology, gave a speech on "Some Implications of the Point Four Program." "The Point Four program joins technology and diplomacy in an effort to further world peace and freedom," he said. Meadows stated that Pres dent Truman's new program had thre. dimensions of consideration. These are diplomacy, economics r To) nnnfl fl n no KU yftua mm mm wu mm mm mm Construction E-dal Asked by Peterson The University's ten-year building program appear certainly to be interrupted, if Gov. Val Peterson's proposed freeze of public funds is enacted by the legislature. In a Tuesday morning press conference, the governor said he would ask the legislature to "freeze al funds for public building iin Nebraska im- mediately." He said he would ask all state institutions to halt their building plans for the im mediate future. This would ex clude plans which are now un derway. Building Affected This plan would affect the University's ten-year building program, which was begun in 1947. The University has an nounced that it will ask for bids beginning Jan. 1 on a $300,000 Meats laboratory and a $200,000 remodeling job on the Dairy barn on Ag campus. The effect of this freeze on these buildings is uncertain because of the ques tion of legislative action. The leg islature does not meet until Jan. 2. Apparently out of the picture indefinitely are the $70,000 In sectory on Ag campus and $200, 000 repairs on the Temple the ater. University officials had planned to ask for bids on these projects sometime next spring. Union Additions The additions to the city and Ag campus Unions are also ap parently indefinitely postponed. The Union additions were af fected by an order of the Na tional Production authority, which banned all construction of purely recreational buildings. According to the board ruling, these Union additions come un der that classification. The $700,000 Agronomy build ing now in the process of con struction on Ag campus, Fergu son hall and the Botany green house, which are nearly fin ished, would not be affected by the order. "I regret all this," Peterson said, "bause I would a lot sooner si Nebraska money used to build v buildings in our state insti tions that to see it go for preparation for war, but we don't have any choice in the matter." Retain Levy The governor said that he would fight to retain the build ing levy, of which the Univer sity receives about 36 per cent, and to let the money accumu late for use after the emergency is over. The building program is fi nanced by the 1.1 mill levy, passed by the 1947 legislature. The University receives about .4 mill of this. They have received about $3.5 million dollars since the program began. The proposed freeze would af fect state colleges, buildings un der the board of control and the military department. Ferguson hall, the Botany greenhouse, and the Agronomy building have been financed by the building levy. About $500,000 has been spent for building up keep and reconditioning of Bes sey hall and the Social Science building. Some was used to com plete Burnett hall, the Avery lab addition, a steam tunnel for Ag campus and the Swine research center. Proposed Bids The Union had planned to ask for bids on the proposed addi tions to the city and Ag build ings next spring. Since this move was stopped by the NPA order the plans must be put in moth balls for a time. "We hope to be able to make better use of the area we now have," Duane E. Lake, manager of .the Union, said. The Board of Regents voted last spring to increase fees for all students in order to finance a $500,000 addition to the city Union and $150,000 addition to the Ag Union. Gamma Siirnia and social. He stated that there is a fear among ex-colonels and colonels that what seems to be a Western retreat from imperialism may be an attack in a different direction. "Communist industrialism is prepared to underwrite revolu tion in the underdeveloped areas," he said. "Western reluct ance to do so may prove very costly." Different Interests On the economic side, the un derdeveloped countries have needs and interests that are dif ferent from those of the west. To modernize is not to Westernize. If modernization is carried out too fast we may add to the misfortunes of primitives and peasants. "Socially, Point Four drama tized the fact that the spread of industrialism" will bring a greater upset to the primitive population of the world," he said. "Point Four is as much a job in human engineering as it is in anything else." Dr. Meadows has just written a book "Industrial Man" which will be printed by the University Press. i ft (S 7Z t"Z.
