Security Council Wednesday.
The Council removed the
Korean question from its agenda,
thus making it possible for the

the U. N. political committee
Tuesday. The political committee
had approved the U. S. demand
to establish committees to de
termine what measures should
be taken against the Chinese and

from the reds.
Despite the contention of In
dia's ' representative that the
world was marching toward dis
' aster, the committee passed the
resolution by a one-sided mar
gin. The general assembly will
meet today to consider the "ag
gressor" charges.
The Soviet bloc in the U. N
voted against the aggression
charges, while the Arab-Near
Eastern countries abstained.

It Happen fid at AT. , . .
The rigors of buying and sell
ing textbooks have been suffered
by practically all. The rumor has
it that the book stores "made a
killing" on all trades and one
young lady decided to issue a
complaint.
She told the manager that it
was unfair to buy the books at
such a high price and then get
hardly anything back for them.
"But you are very unfair," he
explained calmly, "you couldn't
buy a dress at a shop downtown
and then take it back and get the
same price for it, could you?"
"Well," she retorted, "at least
I'd get some use out of the
dress."

Atomic Dangers
A familiar but frightening pic
ture of the potential force of
atomic energy was painted by
Chancellor Gustavson when he
addressed the 9736th volunteer
air reserve training squadron
meeting last Monday night.
Chancellor Gustavson gave a
brief outline of the fundamentals
of atomic physics before dis
cussing the atomic weapons.
"If the attempt to build a hy
drogen bomb is successful," the
Chancellor said, "such a weapon
conceivably could bring ubout
the destruction of every living
organism on the earth through
reaction of radioactive carbon."
The carbon would produce radio-active
carbon dioxide in the
air.

Asiatics Wary
Of ILS. Aid
Says Mitchell
"America is buying a second
chance to demonstrate its great
ideals to the people of the
world," said C. Clyde Mitchell,
chairman of the University de
partment of agricultural eco
nomics, in speaking to the annual
meeting of CROP.
Mitchell, who was national
land administrator in Korea from
1946 to 1948, pointed out four
lessons which the United States
has learned from the Korean
war, these were: t
1. Some iorce is going to
bring about a revolution in Asia.
So far Russia has been doing this,
the United States must not lose
sight of the long-run objective
of the oppressed peoples of Asia
in a frenzied attempt to stop
Russia.
2. Korea shows that the
United States must stop support
ing legitimate demands by the
masses of peasants and laborers
for greater freedom.
3. The Asiatics meet Amer
ican economic aid in Asia with
suspicion and fear because they
fear imperialism. Thus, economic
aid must be carried out through
the United Nations.
4. Military occupation is
dangerous. A military govern
ment failed once and would only
fail again to bring Independence
to the Korean people.
Mitchell said the free world
can defeat communism by out
performing the hollow promises
of the communists.

of the two major national
shows."
The exhibition, which is being
held in conjunction with the
Philadelphia Museum's Diamond
Jubilee, has a purchase fund oi
$30,000.
Nebraska was formerly repre
sented at the other major exhibi
tion, the Metropolitan show, by
the works of LeRoy Burket and
Walter Meigs, also art instructors
at the University.
Pozzatti, a graduate of the
University of Colorado, sub
mitted an oil painting entitled
"Angels." His works have been
exhibited in a number of art
galleries throughout the United
States, including the Butler Art
Institute in Youngstown, O., the
Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha
and the permanent collection of
the Colorado Friends of Art in
Canon City, Colo.
Seyler's work to be shown is
a caststone sculpture entitled
"Mary," His works have been
exhibited at the Art Academy in
Cincinnati, O., the Joslyn Art
Museum, the Chicago Art Insti
tute and the permanent collec
tion of the University of Chi
cago. Burket, whose works appeared
in the Metropolitan Show, is j
currently on a leave of absence i
irom tne university lor a year
of study in Paris. In a copy of
Les Arts, a Paris newspaper, re
cently received by Laging, Jean
Bouret comments on Burket's
work being shown in a Paris ex
hibit. Bouret says, "The revela
tion of this year is the painter
Burket who appears to have suc
ceeded in making an agreeable
synthesis of the figurative and
the abstract without detriment of
the first and without undue glory
of the second."
The green light has been re
ceived for construction of a new
armory on Ag campus.
Authority has been given in
Washington to begin planning
for the new armory, according
to Col. Hardein C. Sweeney of
Omaha.
The proposed building will
house ROTC units in the day
time and will be used by organ
ized reserve units at night. The
one-story, steel and brick ar
mory will provide space for a
drill hall, rifle range, classrooms
and mess facilities.
A second building is planned
for the storage of equipment and
vehicles.
The buildings will be located
at the northeast corner of Thirty-third
and Holdrege in the
southwest corner of the Ag
campus. Construction of the
new armory is expected to be !
started during the spring. The
cost to the federal government
is not yet available, but Univer
sity officials expect it to com
pare with the military and na
val science building on city
campus.
Federal authorities will lease
the ground from the University
on an arrangement of one dol
lar a year for a 99-year term.
Colonel Sweeney's office and
the board of regents have been
negotiating for the construction
of the armory for almost a
yeaT, according to a University
spokesman.
Student Cracks Skull Unforgettable
(KdUor'n note Thl la the sixth In m
erle ef mrtlrlei entitled "My Moat
HiiforireUable Student." Baeh rtlele
will contain a true eterjr told to the
reporter by an Inatrnetor on this ram
pua.) By Gerry Fellman
A student who cracked his
head while attempting to "crack"
an exam is the most unforget
table student of Professor James
L. Sellers of the history depart
ment.
The instructor remarked that
before a certain fatal Incident
occurred, he had never met the
student. At the present time,
Sellers does not even remember
the young man's name. So,
hereafter, the student will be
referred to by the name of
Crack.
Crack was one of the ASTP
(Army Specialized Training Pro
gram) students studying here
during World War II. Sellers
stated that the University had
set up speciul facilities on the
campus to accommodate the
ASTP men.
Part of the third floor of the
Social Sciences building was set
aside as a study hall for them.
Although some direction was
provided, the ASTP students
were not ordinarily closely su
pervised. Required Course
Sellers, at 'that time, was
teaching a course called Survey
of American history, one of those
required under ASTP.
Through a stroke of fate, as
far as Crack was concerned,
Sellers' office was situated on
the second floor of the Social
Sciences building and directly
below the study hall which was
mentioned earlier.
Around examination time,
Crack and three of his friends
were faced with a problem. The
important history test was close
at hand. And these lads were
not very confident of "cooling"
it.
Although they lacked interest
for history, they felt that they
should pass the course. One of
the men, either Crack or one of
his colleagues, got an idea. At
the time, it seemed to them as
an excellent solution to their
troubles. But, this was the be
ginning which led to a tragic
ending, an ending which none
of them bargained for.
The plan was put into action
on the night preceding the test.
Darkness prevailed, and no one
was in sight. After checking to
see that the coast was clear, the
conspirators began to operate.
They tied a rope around the
waist of Crack who they began
to lower down to the History
office on the second floor.
But, alas, the conspirators
were not too well versed in the
art of rope lowering. After
helping Crack over the window
ledge, they had difficulty hold
ing him. The rope began to rub
against the base of the window.
The strands slowly wore away
as Crack swung slowly, back
and forth, traveling down, down,
down .. ., .. then it happened!
The rope snapped sending
Crack on a 2 story trip.
Unfortunately, he urrived at
his destination head first.
Crack received a cracked
skull. He was immediately
rushed to the hospital. Much
later he was given his release
from the ASTP as well as the
hospital.
And that is the last Sellers
heard of Crack. . .. . Unforgettable!

David U. Thomas, 26-year-old
war veteran and University law
student, was the first candidate
to file for the Lincoln City council.
out the document. An addition
was approved by the Council
members to the specific powers
of the -organization. This in
cluded a power added for wel
fare promotion of the student
body" and "reflection of student
opinion."
The question arose as to
whether or not University wom
en were being "guaranteed"
more than their minimum pro
portional representation on tht
Council. Approximately a four
year average proportional en
rollment will be checked and
presented to the legislative group
at their next meeting.
Problems Discussed
Under present enrollment con
ditions, the problem was empha
sized that perhaps during the
next few years, campus organi
zations will assume different
proportions. For instance, an all
male group might be forced to
disband if membership dropped
too low.
. Suggestion -was made that this
article be revised to include
some specification of an organi
zation's qualifications for re
maining on the Council; i.e.
membership.
Council work on the proposed
constitution will be taken up
again at their next meeting; fol
lowing this proceedure, the
Council will approve the docu
ment. Dr. A. A. Hitchcock will act
as chairman of the newly
formed New Student's Week
program. The committee "will be
made up of faculty and -student
representatives.
Under the campus improve
ments committee of the Council,
the "Frosh Orientation Week"
has been organized for improv
ing the pre-semester activities
for new students in the fall.
Committee Representation
Approximately nine to ten
faculty members will serve on
the committee, six senior rep
resentatives and nine to ten
various student representatives.
The committee will work to
draw up a calendar for the week
and to approve all policies con
cerning the new program.
Replacing Ginny Guhin at
chairman of the campus im
provements committee will be
Mary Hubka, Council secretary.
Ginny is now serving on the
New Student's week committee.
