Ukrainian Student
Integrity of Native
By An N.U. Ukrainian Student
I came here last year and in
troduced myself as Ukrainian. I
was taken for a Russian. It
struck me; it is not true; and for
us Ukrainians it is humiliating.
Why do not the Americans dis
tinguish between Ukrainian a'nd
Russiain, two different nations?
Certainly the trouble is that in
1709 we had lost a war with
Russia. They occupied our coun
try, destroyed our state, but as
hard as they tried they could not
destroy us as a nation.
Ukrania, the biggest and most
developed of the conquered
countries in the Russian Empire
was (and still is) the most dan
gerous for invaders.
Parallel with the cruel policy
of destruction of all that is
Ukrainian, Russians used all
means to convince the world that
there was no Ukraine. Those who
Union to Stage
For Christmas
It's Christmas at the Union.
Starting at 8 p.m. and going un
til midnight Saturday the Union
is going to be open and everyone
is invited to join in the Yule
celebration.
"International Christmas" is
the theme for this year's party
and the entire Union will be dec
orated in accordance with the
theme.
Almost every room will be
open and will house a different
kind of entertainment. In the
main ballroom Aaron Schmidt's
combo will furnish music for
dancing from 9 p.m. until mid
night and as an added attrac
tions during intermission Alpha
Epsilon Rho, national radio hon
orary, will present a skit.
One of the highlights of the
evening will be a style show pre
sented by the Cosmopolitan club
in which the participants will
wear costumes of their native
countries. In parlors A, B and C
punch and a juke box will be the
main features. During the eve
ning Room 313 will show the car
toons, "The Night Before Christ
mas," "Snow Time," and "Christ
mas Trees."
Henry Cech and Nick Adduci
have been chosen as masters of
ceremonies for the occasion.
Since no Christmas is complete
without a Santa there will be
one on hand to pass candy to all
the "kiddies" and receive Christ
mas orders.
The cafeteria will feature
(bingo from 8 to 11 p.m. and
prizes will be given to the win
ners. Kappa Alpha Mu, honorary

that they are masters of the lie.
False History
Russians used all means that
create world opinion; the diplo
matic service, books, the press,
and the sciences. To justify Rus
sian conquests, Russian histori
ans invented a new, false history
for eastern Europe.
Imagine the graduate student
of history, or even a professor
working on eastern European
historical problems. He does not
get any Ukrainian books on the
subject . . . Russians have for
bidden to print them. He studies
Russian books and documents
and believes that Ukrainians are
"little Russians," as Russian his
torians are eager to call us. But
this is not true! This is one of
Russia's inventions. (You cer

Historical Lie
We laugh at that lie, but we
do not laugh at the lie about
history.
First in the 18th century, when
the Muscovites won the war with
the Ukraine and occupied a great
part of it, they began to call their
state Russia.
In 1917, during World War I,
the Ukraine succeeded in gain
ing independence from Russia
and organized the Ukrainian Na
tional Republic. The young state,
fighting for its independence, had
to secure in the west by alli
ance with Russia's natural ene
mies, Germany, Austria and
Turkey.
Events proved this to be a poor
job of diplomacy. Germany lost,
and so did we. After the Ver
sailles treaty the Ukraine was
divided between Soviet Russia,
Poland, Rumania and Czechoslo
vakia. The Soviet occupation of the
main part of the Ukraine opened
a continuous war with Commu
nism. We lost approximately 15
million people in it. I shall not
describe the atrocities of this
war; it was not only the cruel
est war in our history but in
European history. In one big
famine, which Stalin decreed for
the Ukraine, we lost from 6 to 10
millions of people.
But the war for our survival
is not hopeless. We still are a
nation of 45 millions. And now
the international situation is not
against us. For 30 years we
fought with Soviet Russia and
nobody abroad even knew of it
or what it was for.
Now people in Poland, Ru
mania, Baltic states, Hungary,
Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and
East Germany know exactly
what Russian imperialism is. In
China and Korea, even in Ne
braska, young people must leave
their families and go to the army
because Russia plans to conquer
the whole world.
These people are now the
Ukraine's natural allies.
This Character v
Believes in Signs
There aren't any witnesses,
but it's been rumored around
that a certain wise guy on cam
pus accidentally (he says)
walked into the ladies room in
the Union. Amid screams and
wild feminine protests, he calmly
walked over to the mirror and
proceeded to comb his hair.
"Can't you read the sign on
the door?" shouted one coed.
Replied our hero, 'So who's
smoking?"

Railroad, Bus
Lines Expect
Student Rush
Railroad and bus lines report
that students have almost com
pletely reserved all modes of
travel for the Christmas holidays.
Few cancellations are expected
and students are urged to make
their reservations immediately if
they have not already done so.
The Burlington streamlined
tvains are completely sole out
uniil after the first part of the
year and already many listings
for cancellations. Extra cars will
not be put on until Dec. 22. How
ever, there is still some room left
on day coaches.
The C h i c a g o-Northwestern
railroad advises students to make
immediate reservations for points
in Minnesota, Iowa, South Da
kota and Illinois. A heavy crowd
is expected, especially if the
weather is bad.
The Missouri-Pacific lines are
not too crowded as yet. The two
faster Union Pacific trains are
completely filled. Some pullman
space is still available, but on
other trains coaches are filled al
most to capacity.
All railroad lines expect some
round trip reservations to be
changed. Trains will add extra
cars but not until it is absolutely
necessary.
The Union Bus Depot expects
a heavy crowd but will not make
reservations. Extra buses will be
put on the lines if needed.

Demolition Planned
For Old Greenhouse
Plans are being made to de
molish the old greenhouse, ac
cording to the building and
grounds division. The ground
where the building stands will be
completely leveled and reland
scaped. The department of botany re
cently moved into the new
greenhouse, near Bessy hall,
which is completed except for a
a few minor details.
University to
New Citizenship Project
You're a University student
now. It's quite a change from
high , school. But can you still
remember your high school days?
No one has been away from
that home town too long to for
get his high school classmates,
dances, teachers and last, those
high school classes.
Most high schoolers have haj
such doubts at one time or an
other. The students had a prob
lem and couldn't possibly supply
the remedy.
Now a solution has been found
for application of civic educa
tion. A citizenship education
project is taking over the job of
teaching high school students
how they can benefit from such
courses as civics, American gov
ernment and social science.
Pilot Schools
Nebraska is one of the three
pilot schools chosen by the Car
negie foundation to carry on the.
project. It will be directed by
the University Teachers college
and financed by a $21,400 grant
from the Carnegie foundation for
the advancement of teaching.
Though the University will
work in close cooperation with
Columbia university, it is the
only school chosen to work ex
clusively with rural and small
community schools.
Dr. Royce Knapp has been
chosen by Teachers College to
administer and plan the pro
gram. Twelve Nebraska high schools
have been chosen to participate
in specific functions of the pro
gram. These are: Albion, Columbus,
York, Sutton, Hampton, Loomis,
Lincoln Northeast, Franklin, Wil
ber, Sumner, Blue Hill and He
bron. Plan Explained
Letters were sent to all schools
that are members of the Ne
braska Cooperative School Study
council explaining the plan.
Those schools that were inter
ested in the project were asked
to communicate with Dr. Knapp.
From those who were inter
ested in working extensively
with application of the program
the schools for the project were
chosen.
Army gridder Ed Tixier also
is captain-elect of the Cadet bas
ketball team.
Yale and Harvard have met 66
times on the football field.

A suDerintendent or principal
from each of the chosen schools
and one or two social studies in

holding weekly meetings at Sut

the "home town" for the project.
Dr. Knapp will spend the next
month visiting each of these
twelve schools and checking up
on the progress of the specific
activities.
Studr Workshop
Starting second semester the
education project will go into ef
fect. Next summer, during the
regular University summer
school session, the instructors
who have been attending the
weekly meetings will take, as a
part of their course, a study
workshop to refine the work of
this year and to plan next year's
program.
New ways to teach Nebraska
government, county government
and United Nations work will be
applied in second semester class
rooms. High schoolers will study,
for example, the Missouri Basin
development.
Assembly programs are being
planned in relation to democracy,
a free society and the American
heritage of freedom. These will
' also deal with the UN and in

j Improvement of student gov
ernment bodies is also on the
schedule for the program. This
will give the students an oppor

Students are not able to apply

classroom.
They need some "lab" to ap

The citizenship education proj
ects have been set up in an at
tempt to remedy the gap between
theory and actual practice.
