THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
This is not the time for students enrolled in the University to
become in anywise disturbed about their future status in relation
to the draft and their call to duty in the armed forces. Every student
now in school owes it to himself and to his eountry to remain in
school and to carry on in the normal fashion. The assumption that
any student will "be any less fairly treated by remaining in the Uni
versity and taking his chances with the Selective service than in
enlisting in the services as some have been disposed to think is not
true. The great need of the armed forces is for trained personnel.
University students, it is understood, would in the advantageous
position to be recognized as such.
Draft boards are universally deferring students who are in good
standing and continue so to the end of the current year. Many regis
tered in the ROTC program have a further opportunity to be de
ferred beyond the current school year. At least 75 per cent or 80
percent or maybe more of the present freshman class will in all
likelyhood be accepted for the second year of basic training. The
present sophomore group of almost 400 in the first semester and
over S50 or thereabouts in the second semester will also be given
the opportunity of advanced ROTC. Of the sophomores who complete
the year of basic training, at least 60 per cent or more will be se
lected for advanced ROTC training and will therefore be further
deferred. Once selected for advanced ROTC, the chances are very
great that they will be permitted to continue to the conclusion of
their advanced ROTC training and upon graduation become commis
sioned officers in the armed forces.
The need for trained personnel was never greater. The Uni
versity has a responsibility in this regard and, therefore, urges all
students now in the ROTC program to stand pat and continue with
their training, in the knowledge that they will be allowed to carry
on to the end se that there may be an adequate number graduating
from the University in each succeeding year to provide adequately
for the demand of highly trained personnel. You owe it to your
selves as students to thus seek to qualify.
Every student subject to Selective service should know that the
extension of the Selective Service act of 1948 provides as follows:
"Section 6 d) 2), Title I. Within such number as may be
prescribed by the Secretary of Defense any person who, A)
on or after the effective date of this title, is selected for en
rollment of continuance in the senior division, Reserve Officers'
Training corps, or the Air Reserve Officers' Training corps, or
the Naval Reserve Officers' Training corps, or "who, On or after
the effective date of this title, is appointed a midshipman, United
States Naval Reserve, and B) agrees, in writing, to accept a
commission if tendered and to serve, subject to call by the Sec
retary of the Army, the Secretary of the Air Force, or the Sec
retary of the Navy, respectively, not less than two years on
active duty after receipt of a commission, shall be deferred from
induction for training and service under this title until after
completion or termination of the course of instruction and so
long as he continues in a regular or reserve status upon being
commissioned, but shall not be exempt from registration."
The strongest word the administrative officers of the Univer
sity can give you is that you do not allow yourself to become hys
terical or confused but Tather that you "stick to your guns" as stu
dents on the campus knowing that the highly qualified people will
be in as great a demand, in fact in greater demand, in the imme
diate future. Why not, therefore, continue on an even keel?
Any student concerned about this matter should consult with
Colonel Workman of the Army, Colonel Jamieson of the Air force,
and Captain Donovan of the navy. These men are all ready to advise
you in a manner consistent with regulations and with your best in
terests in mind.
Before you take any action to drop out of school, be sure that
you consult with these persons, that you may know what are your
privileges and rights and that you may be guided in making right
decisions.

Educational Leaders Offer
Ideas on Military Deferment
'The question of whether col
lege men should be deferred
from military service has drawn
a number of varied replies from
the nation's educational leaders.
There are some, like the mem
bers of Gen. Lewis B. Hershey's
advisory committees, who feel
deferment should be granted to
superior students. But the As
sociation of American Universi
ties recently issued a report
urging enactment of a law to
draft all men for two years of
military service upon reaching
the age of 18. It was felt that
the critical situation warranted
such a measure.

proposed less drastic steps. The
New York State Association of
Colleges and Universities de
clared that while basic military
training for American youth was
needed, their call to training
should await their finishing of
high school or college.
The Rev. John Cavanaugh,
president of Notre Dame univer
sity, put it this way: "The ex
periences of World War II have
proved the need, not only in time
of war, but in the vital post
war period, of men trained in
colleges and universities."
Meanwhile, college officials
are considering the possibility of
reestablishing the old wartime
acceleration program, whereby a
student can graduate in three
years, instead of the usual four.
Officials frankly admit they
don't like it too much: they feel
it puts too much pressure on
students and faculty alike.
To Consider Problems
On Jan. 19, representatives of
the American Council for Edu
cation will meet to discuss these
emergency problems, along with
the problem of expected drop in
enrollment.
Some college heads predict
that the drop next year may ex
ceed 50 per cent, in contrast to
the 15 per cent drop predicted.
Such a big dip would put na
tional enrollment back to peace
time figures of 1940-41.
Moral to This Story:
Look Before Leaping
The girls in a gym class at
Phillips University, Enid, Okl.,
found themselves in hot water
awhile back. Eager to try out the
swimming pool after the installa
tion of a new boiler, the girls
dived in and came up screaming.
It seems that the temperature of
the water had been set at 110
degrees by mistake.

Evils of 'Witch
Hunting' Told
By Professor
Witch-hunting periods in his
tory reveal a vast and shocking
contempt for human values and
human lives," Dr. Paul Meadows,
associate professor of sociology,
said Thursday.
In a speech before the Knife
and Fork club at the YWCA, Dr.
Meadows discussed the much
used phrase, "witch-hunting,"
which refers to the persecution
of non-conformists.
Analyzing several historical
periods of so-called witchery and
devil worship, he drew a few
parallels with the present day.
Meadows explained that Peter
son had said he had a list of
suspected communists in Ne
braska. In this connection he
had promised that there never
has been and never will be any
hysterical witch-hunt of com
munism in Nebraska.
After quoting Gov. Val Peter
son, the instructor stated that
despite what the governor of Ne
braska may think, "there never
has been a witch-hunt without
hysteria."
Meadows, on the other hand,
asserts that any witch-hunt
which occurs is bound to be
hysterical. He contends that "a
witch-hunt starts with anxiety,
is fomented by hysteria, is led
by hysterical men, and effective
ly silences all rational opposi
tion." He believes that in every case
"countless numbers of innocent
people, persons of integrity, have
been made to suffer."
In conclusion, the University
of Nebraska instructor said:
"The witch-hunt is intended to
silence and intimidate opposition
and criticism. Unhappily, it is
easier to raise the hue and cry
of Satanism than it is to reform
the offending human environ
ment. Indeed, the charge of
Satanism has often been used to
cloak the blackest of reaction."
Red Cross
Plans War
Orientation
An important Orientation
meeting of the local and college
Red Cross volunteer members
will be held on Thursday Jan. 11.
The meeting will be held at the
Chapter house at 312 South 12th
street at 7 p.m. All members and
other interested people are urged
to attend this meeting.
Those who do plan to attend
are asked to notify either Doro
ihv Nnrricrren at the Chi Omega
house or Mrs. Genene Grimm at
the Student Union activities
office.
New Training Program
In the past, the Red Cross
College Unit has been considered
just another activity by many of
its members. Now, however due
to the impending intrenational
crisis, the training program in
use during the war is being re
activated. The protection and care of
families and individuals sub
jected to enemy attack is a basic
responsibility of all Governmental
groups. Volunteer agencies, in
cluding Red Cross, participating
in civil defense will serve under
responsible Governmental Agen
cies. The experience and resources
of the Red Cross in its disaster
program and other community
services program will be utilized
to advantage in planning and
operation of civil defense.
Civil Defense
In opening the new program,
the Red Cross will discuss such
topics as training civil defense
workers and the general public
in first aid; training in home
care of the sick and injured and
nurse aid activities; provision of
food, clothing, and temporary
shelter on a mass care basis
during an immediate emergency
period; participation in a war
time nation wide blood program;
and making available its exist
ing organized chapter volunteers
and resources for participation in
civil defense activities.
Butler U. Story
Creates Furor
Freedom of the press hung In
the balance for a time at Butler
university when the student
newspaper was threatened with
disciplinary action for publishing
the views of two queen candi
dates on whether girls should
wear falsies.
Editors of the Collegian created
a furor by carrying a banner
story headlined, "Ellen and Helen
are Firm Anti-Falsie Candidates."
School authorities were par
ticularly unhappy over the story's
subhead, whi.h said, "Experts
see win by a bust."

Partying Students View Finals
With Alarm; Study Inevitable
By ,mie "Gordon
There is .jo joy at old Ne-
brasker,
Just go up to any coed and
ask 'er.
Or any Joe College will tell
you the reason,
The reason ain't pleasin'
it's the final season!
Yes, something new has come
over the students at NU in fact,
they have a nu look about them.
They arc beginning to realize
that now is the time for all good
students to come to the aid of
their textbooks (or vice-versa).
In other words, the stoodents
are becoming stoodious, but not
by choice.
It seems most students are
discovering that finals are just
around the academic corner, and
that they have shamefully ne
glected their studies. In fact,
many of them have completely
forgotten how to study.
So, in the public interest, we
are offering some helpful advice
on "how to study," or as it is
popularly known-as around cam
pus, "How to go Crazy by Get
ting Degrees."
The first method is commonly
known as the "comfort-while-cramming"
routine.
The equipment for this method
includes cigarettes, some bever

"Across the Wide Missouri" and
"Ruxton of the Rockies:" Avery
Craven, professor of history at
the University of Chicago; E. E.
Dale of the University of Okla- ,
homa; and Henry Nash Smith
of the University of Minnesota.
A re-evaluation of the work of
Frederick Jackson Turner, the
first scholar to interpret Ameri
can history in terms of the west
ward movement, will be the ma
jor topic.
Dr. Dale, author of 'The Range
Cattle Industry," and Dr. Craven,
co-author of "Sources of Cul
ture in the Middle West," were
students of Turner's at Harvard.
Dr. Edgar Holt, University of

The National Cancer Institute
has awarded a $2,000 fellowship
to Hugh J. Phillips, advanced
student m physiology.
Dr. Donald M. Pace, head of
tthe University's physiology de
partment' said the fellowship
would enable Mr. Phillips to take
courses partially fulfilling re
quirements for the Ph.D. degree,
and at the same time permit him
to carry on research work re
lated to the problem of cancer.
The study to be made by Mr.
Phillips is concerned with under
standing the breathing of cells,
which are the basic units of all
living things. He will compare
the effect of cyanide on normal,
healthy cells and on cancerous
cells.
Dr. Pace said equipment for
Mr. Phillips' research, and other
studies being made in the de
partment, would be purchased
with a gift of $1,000 received this
week from the University of
Nebraska Foundation.
' Mr. Phillips is originally from
Augusta, Ga.' and got his B.S.
from the University of Florida.
He came to Nebraska tn 1947
and received his master's degree
here. He has been working on
the research related to cancer
for the past six months. IVith
new equipment, which has been
ordered, the project will prob
ably be completed within two
years.

Getting stale at your bridge?
Unable to find anyone with the

Well, here is a chance to show

bridge tournament Jan. 9 and 10
and every one is invited to enter

same score.
The games will be played from
4 to 6 p.m. on the appointed days
in the Union game room.
James Porter, who gave bridge
lessons recently, will direct the
tourney.
Jean Loudon, committee chair
man, has announced that all stu
dents wishing to enter in the

mately 30 students are registered
so far for the annual affair.

Another method that has
proven fairly successful is the
"Learn While Sleeping" method.
The equipment necessary for
this arrangement consists merely
of a phonograph, suitable : - -ords,
ear phones and a com
fortable bed.
The subject merely has to jump
into bed, put on the earphones,
turn on the phonograph (with
the record, of course) and get
ready for a "veiy educational
night of slumber.
This method has been proved
to be -very successful in most
cases, but one experimentee of
this method found its results al
most disastrous.
One Worm'iey Schnook of
Serutan Junction, Neb., tried this
method. While sleeping, he
turned over and his left toe ac
cidently turned up the volume.
You may recognize Wormley
as the only man on campus with
two punctured eardrums and a
leopard-covered ear horn two
feet long.
However, if you like to live
dangerously, this is the method
for you.
