The Korean news had a dif
ferent angle to it Tuesday.
United Nations forces struck
back in counter-attacks against
red troops in the Wonju area of
Korea after U. S. Eighth army
regulars fought off communist
pursuers on the main highway
south of Seoul.
Heavy fighting continued to
rage Tuesday night around Won

ing the eastern flank of the
Eighth army's retreat south to
ward the Pusan beachhead.
Thirteen miles southeast of
Osan Chinese communist troops
overran two Eighth army rear
guard battalions, but were
thrown back after a short, fierce
fight. Late reports said the re
treat apparently was continuing
hindered only by patrol clashes.

steady head and common sense
when he takes control of the At

Val Criticizes
Democrats
"There should be no despair in
America on the present state of
world affairs. We are a strong,
Christian nation which should be
able to battle communism suc
cessfully." Those were the words of Gov
ernor Val Peterson as he ad
dressed an Ag college convoca
tion Tuesday.
The governor outlined the his
tory of communism. He said it
is "not to be feared as an eco
nomic doctrine. It is as old as
mankind and has met with only
negligible success wherever it
nas heen tried.
Pointing out that the things
to be feared about communism
are violence, imperialism in Rus
sia, and revolution, the governor
said the way to whip the doc
trine is not on the battlefield
but in the battle of mens mind's.
Make Democracy Work
Said Peterson: "We must make
democracy work so well that it
can be set up as an example of
a way of life that men will fol
low. We must have stronger in
formation and educational pro
grams in our country as well as
abroad to make democracy
work"
The governor attacked the ad
ministration's foreign policy,
terming it "miserable." He con
demned the administration for
withholding the White Paper on
China and the Far East report
written by Gen. Wedermeyer.
He said he had asked state
department officials Dean Ache
son and Phillip Jessup two em
barrassing questions at the re
cent governor's conference at
White Sulphur Springs, Ga.
Two Choices
He reported that he had asked
Acheson: "We have two choices
in the Far East, do we not go
ing along wtih Chiang Kai-Shek
or turning Korea over to the
Reds?" He did not answer the
question, the governor said.
Peterson said he had asked
Jessup if the government had
done one thing to contain com
munism in the world since
World War II. After much hesi
tation, said the governor, Jessup
said "We have done well in
Korea."
The convocation was spon
sored by Alpha Zeta, Ag hono
rary fraternity tor men. John
Wilkinson, chancellor of the or
ganization, introduced the gov
ernor. It was estimated that 400 stu
dents and faculty members at
tended. Among them were
Chancellor R. G. Gustavson and
Dean W. V. Lambert.

Seniors Investigate Design
For New Cornhusker Ring
A new official ring, symbolic
of the University to be worn by
Cornhusker students and alumni
may take its place as one of
Nebraska's traditions.
Possibilities for a new Univer
sity ring are being investigated
by members of the senior class.
According to Aaron Schmidt,
senior class president, plans are
now being formulated for a de
sign to replace the "outdated
ring that has been used for a long
time."
The purpose of the investiga
tion is to find a ring that all
Cornhuskers "would be 'proud to
wear emblematic of the Uni
versity that would represent a
tie with the school."
A committee was appointed
following the outline of proj
ects to carried out by the
class of 1951.
Committee Appointed
Seniors named by Schmidt to
serve on the committee are Bob
Raun, Bob Parker, Betty Green,
Nancy Porter and Gene Berg.
This group is working concur
rently with the officers of the
senior class. The officers besides
Scmidt are Bob Waters, vice
president; Bob Pierce, secretary;
and Arlen Beam, treasurer.
So far, the committee has
looked into the design possibili
ties. The. rings of other schools
throughout the nation have been
appraised by the committee as
to character, practicality, ex
pense and traditional appeal.
A tentative design already has
been offered by the committee.
Considered as most appropriate
was a design providing for a
ruby set surrounded by "The
University of Nebraska" and
"Class of (the year)" inscrip
tions. A Typical Design
The side of the ring would
display a design typical of the
University.
At the present, prospective
patterns are being simulated b.y
a national jewelry company. The
final design will be drawn up
by an artist and then run in The
cial parade of army and air
ROTC students.
The citation praised him for
"meritorious service as district
commander, fourth security and
intelligence district, Seventh
service command, comprising
the state of Kansas, from Janu
ary 1944 to August 1945."
The award honored his work
as coordinator for the corps
area where he was responsible
with civil authorities for all
matters of mutual concern re
garding security and intelligence
within the district.
Possesses Judrment
"His foresight, tact and good
Judgment were instrumental in
bringing about the closest co
operation with state officials
and the public in the prosecu
tion of the war," continued the
recommendation.
The person recommending
Colonel Frankforter for the Ne
braskan award, like the army
citation, praised the professor ;
for his understanding and supe
rior performance in any task
he undertakes.
His able advising to both In- ,
nocents and Corn Cobs has
helped the organization im- :
mensely, the report continued, j
and his interest in student prob- '
lems has been outstanding.
An-outstanding midwest chem
ist, Frankforter holds patents on
new processes of treating oil
and does consulting and analyt
ical chemical and chemical en
gineering work. A member of
various honoraries, he was grad
uated from the University in
1908 and received his masters
degree here in 1909. '
Nationally Famous
"Ramblin' Robert" Reynolds
not only has made a name for
himself nationally, but his ex
cellent teamwork was vital in

Said Schmidt, "We, as mem
bers of the senior class, wish to
leave a permanent token to the
University, something that will
be representative of a loyal tie
with Cornhuskerland."
Schmidt explained that any
body enrolled in the University
and all graduates would be able
to purchase the rings, with the
year of graduation inscribed.
Union to Present
Billiard Champion
Charles C. Peterson, the
world's fancy shot billiard cham
pion, will give exhibitions Wed
nesday and Thursday, Jan. 17 and
18 from 4 to 6 p.m., in the Union
ballroom.
Peterson will devote his show
to a demonstration of billiard
fundamentals, designed to show
the beginner how to approach
the game.
Peterson is known as the man
who knows no such word as im
possible when it comes to any
phase ' of billiards. . No one yet
has designed a billiard shot that
he couldn't make. His challenge
to the world is, "Show me a shot
that I can't make."
Peterson is enthusiastic about
his appearance before college
men and women in the college,
since he believes billiards is a
game of relaxation after the con
centration of the classroom.
Peterson will be available for
consultation and individual in
struction throughout his two-day
stay.

"I really don't know why I

only one-eleventh of the team."
He is an outstanding individ
ual player and is a part of a

wrote. The modest way in which
he accepts the honors is further
evidence of Bobby's true great
ness, the nomination continued.

other activities and foremost of
all, revived College Days.
Although College Days was
formally approved by the facul

to make this panorama of col
lege life at the University a re

Registration
Procedures
Completed
After three and one-half days
of registration the procedure is
finally completed. The entire
process has taken less time this
semester than ever before, ac
cording to Dr. Hoover, assistant
Registrar, because of the small
number of students that regis
tered in comparison with previ
ous semesters.
Tuesday, Jan. 9, was reserved
for registration of students with
special problems.
Dr. Hoover estimated that ap
proximately 6,500 students went
through registration for the com
ing semester. This figure shows
a definite drop in University en
rollment. May Still Register
However, Dr. Hoover said that
many University men who did
not go through second semester
registration can remain in school
and may register on Jan. 6. This
registration date has been set up
for new entrants to the Univer
sity. Newcomers will not be charged
any additional late registration
fee and Hre to feel free to reg
ister on Jan. 26.
All of the material and infor
mation that has been gathered
during registration pertaining to
each student has been compiled
in individual envelopes.
This information will be sent
to the University Registrar, in
dividual instructors, deans nf the
colleges, individual advisors and
the University comptroller. In
addition to this each student has
a copy of his second semester
schedule.

Lake Tells
Use of New
Finances
Where has the Union student
fee increase gone?
Now that the proposed Union
addition is being held up through
a National Production Authority
ruling against recreation building
construction, what has been done
and what will be done with
Union funds designated for this
addition?
According to Duane E. Lake,
managing director of the Union,
the money has been and will be
spent as follows:
1. Some will be used to re
place other Union funds which
were borrowed from and de
pleted while the Union was run
ning in the red. Among this is
money borrowed from the Uni
versity just after the war to help
finance the establishment of the
Ag Union.
2. For the year 1951, $5,000
will be placed in a capital ad
ditions fund which purchases
new facilities such as the re
cently added concert grand piano
for the ballroom and new game
room equipment.
3. Some will be used to fi
nance the furnishings and equip
ment fund which covers the
costs of replacement and repair
such as carpets and upholstering.
Maintenance
4. A portion of the fee increase
will go towards covering the in
creased cost of maintenance.
5. Administrative salaries have
been upped on the average of
five to six per cent over a year
ago. Administrative salaries have
been raised on the average of
$200.
6. Around $20,000 a year will
be put in a renovation reserve.
The fund will build up to be
tween $50,000 and $75,000 dur
ing a three year period. This
fund will be spent in moderniz
ing and remodeling the present
Union building . when the new
adHjtion is built.
7. Some will be used to build
up - an Ag- construction fund. -$4,500
will be placed in the fund
this year.
Student Activities
8. Some has provided for an
increised student activities
budget. For example, the city
campus activities budget has
been increased from $6,000 to
$8,500 this year and the Ag
hud cot has been upped from
$1,000 to $1,500.
9. $18,000 has been set aside
to retire bonds which under the
old system could not be retired
since money previously designat
ed for this purpose had to be
used for increased cost of gen
eral operation. These funds were
in the form of bonds which
helped finance the building when
it was built in 1938.
10. The Union's picture lend
ing library has been increased,
as have the number of books,
magazines and records. In addi
tion, better convocation and en
tertainment programs have been
planned as a result of the fee
increase.
In addition, the Union wage
structure has been revamped.
Though the new system does not
provide for any "blanket in
creases" for student and full
time employees, it does provida
for a "bonus system" wherein
the students receive more in, the
form of bonuses if they complete
their contracts.
New Services
The Union has found the
money to add new services and
better accommodations. For in
stance, during the summer of
1950. the ballroom was com
pletely redecorated and the con
cert grand was purchased. Piano
cabinets have been built near
the ballroom stage.
The student fee increase was
voted by the Board of Regents
(See Increase Page 2)
Advanced Air
Students Safe
From Draft
At the present time Air Force
regulations indicate that students
enrolled in air science are fairly
safe frorfl the draft. Eighty per
cent of the men enrolled in the
basic course of air science will
be selected for deferment at the
end of the first semester, and
will be deferred until comple
tion of the course.
Students selected at that time
for the advanced course are
eligible for military deferment ,
as long as they remain under
contract. This period continues
until the students are graduated,
if they are non-veterans.
Veterans enrolled in the ad
vanced course will receive com
missions in the Air Force re
serves at the end of the second
year course, but under present
Air Force regulations, will con
tinue to be deferred until gradu
ation providing they remain in
the same course of study in the
University.
Those students . who transfer
from the college in which they
were enrolled at the time of their
commission will be deferred for
no longer than one year follow
ing the date of receiving their- '
commission.
