New Jersey
Train Wreck
Fatal to 81
What was described as the
"worst train wreck in 33 years"
killed 81 persons in New Jersey
Wednesday.
Traveling 50 m.p.h. over a 25
m.p.h. railroad trestle, a train,
packed with 900 commuters,
plunged off the rails when the
trestle collapsed.
The train's engineer has ad
mitted in a formal statement that
he disregarded orders requiring
the 25 m.p.h. speed limit. Six
trains had previously passed safe
ly over the newly-built trestle
before the wreck occurred.
Bodies of passengers were
strewn everywhere and police
were still counting reports from
nearby mortuaries. The death
toll may mount higher.
FBI agents investigated the
possibility of sabotage. The en
gineer testified that there were
no caution signals and that he
began to apply his brakes about
1,500 feet from the point of de
railment. The disaster occurred at Wood
ridge, a commuters community
25 miles from metropolitan New
York.
West Germans
Fear Invasion
In Germany, west German res
idents reflect a growing defeat
ism. The population is convinced
that General Eisenhower's de
fense force will come too late to
save western Germany from com
munist invasion.
West Germany's pessimism is
attributed to "America's clumsy
foreign policy" and to "shrewd
Russian propaganda."
Germans are beginning to give
American military the "cold
shoulder" as they attempt to play
safe with the Russians for fear
of reprisal.
The Germans are snubbing
Americans through sheer fright
as they are not convinced that
Eisenhower's forces could ever
defend Europe.
Water Fluoridation
Planned By Beatrice
Beatrice Wednesday became
the first Nebraska city to pass an
ordinance requiring the city to
"fluoridate" drinking water.
Fluorine-treated water, recom
mended by dentists as beneficial
to stopping tooth decay, is pre
pared by adding one to one and
a half parts of fluorine to a mil
lion parts of water.
Several Nebraska cities have
Similar projects under way. Au
thorities stated that the state
must first give its approval on
the project before actus' iuor
idization can begin.
Troops Within
Sight of Seoul
In Korea, tank-led United
Nations forces smashed within
sight of Seoul, the, former Korean
capital.
The eighth army has pushed
the western front ahead four
miles within sight of the capital
for an advance of more than four
miles. Red troops fell back to
the last communist defense line
south of Seoul.

Theater Veterans
Miss Fritzler and Wenstrand
are University theater veterans.
Miss Fritzler was seen by
theater-goers last year in "School
for Scandal" and "Faust." Wen
strand played the lead in "Faust."
Both are members of Nebraska
I Masquers.
Underclassmen have often been
discouraged in trying out for
theater productions because they
felt upper-classmen would be
given priority on the roles, Al
most half of the "Caesar and
Cleopatra" cast are freshmen.
Both the male and female sup
porting roles arc played by fresh
men. The tentative production dates
for "Caesar and Cleoparta" are
March 14, 15 and 16. The play
will be given in the University
experimental theater.
This is the first in a scries of
University productions which
will be given at various dramatic
clinics throughout the state.
The first clinic will be held at
Tecumseh, March 17, followed by
traveling to Norfolk, April 2d
and Grand Island, May 5.
Howard Hanson, NU Alum,

With Humorous Tales
"I haven't gone through a
bureau of standards for my ex
periences but when humorous
incidents happen to others and
they in turn relate them to me,
it gives me great pleasure," said
Miss Emily Kimbrough at all
University convocation Wednes
day morning.
In speaking of her life-long
friend, Cornelia Otis Skinner re
marked, "Everything that hap
pens, always happens to Emily."
To be considered for the
award, a student must have
maintained a 6.5 grade average
in all university courses during
his first three years. Those who
have qualified are vited on by
the faculty of the department in
which they are majoring.
In order to make the awards
more significant the number of
students receiving awards has
been limited to eleven. In the
past a large number of seniors
have been honored. As this list
almost paralleled the University
honors list, it was decided to
change the honors system.
List Secret.
The list of seniors to be hon
ored will be kept secret until the
night of the banquet.

Union Director,
Board Officers
To furnish a social and rec
reational center for the Univer
sity is the purpose of the Union.
This purpose and the financ
ing of the Union was explained
by Director Duane E. Lake at a
mass meeting of Union workers
Wednesday. Six dollars is taken
from student tuition to finance
the Union, he said. The money
goes for the upkeep of the Union
and for paying of Union em
ployees. Activities committees include
budget and orientation, dance,
music, convocation and hospital
ity, house and office, special ac
tivities, general entertainment,
recreation and public relations.
The duties of each committee was
explained by Herb Reese, presi
dent of the activities committee.
Bob Mosher, vice president,
spoke on the possibilities of ad
vancement for Union workers. It
is possible for members to ad
vance from pool worker to a com
mittee position, then to chair
manship and become a member of
the board.
Each month workers are ro
tated to different commitUes so
they can become familiar with all
Union activities. Marilyn Moomey
explained thi pool worker set
up and the elevation system.
Members are evaluated by com
mittee chairmen and sponsors ac
cording to a new five point sys
tem which has been introduced.
The meeting included a ques
tion period which gave the work
ers a chance to clear up any un
certainties. In order to acquaint
workers with the Union, the com
mittee conducted a tour of the
building at th- close - the meet
ing. who would work part time for

Janet Carr was the TNC last
year.
Arriving 20 minutes late for her
lecture, Miss Kimbrough in
formed the audience that the
cause of her delay was due to
the railroad strike and "none of
her doings."
Twin Daughters Unappreciative
Being invited to speak at the
University has reinstated her
self-confidence which was de
flated by her twin daughters
several weeks ago, Miss Kim
brough said. When she saw them
at boarding school following a
long series of lectures, Miss Kim
brough quesiioned the reason
for their gloom. They replied,
"Oh, Mommie, promise us you
won't speak here."
Throughout the lecture, Miss
Kimbrough narrated parts from
some of her various books, such
as "Our Hearts Were Young and
Gay" and "We followed our
Herats to Hollywood."
Can Swim but Only 50 strokes
Miss Kimbrough claims that
she can swim, but only 50 strokes
and then only if she doesn't talk
during her stroking. Once when
showing off her ability a drown
ing man called to her for help.
Since Miss Kimbrough knew she
couldn't reach him in 50 strokes
she called out, "Wait a minute,
I'll be back."
"Popularity in a girls' school
has changed since I've been
there," said the lecturer. "The
better the girl's line, the more
dates she would have." In a
feeble attempt to develop a
"line" Miss Kimbrough took pri
vate lessons, at a considerable
fee, from one of her classmates
who was . quite ... versitile in the
art.
Miss Kimbrough's instructor
told her to engage a man in a
"1 o v a b 1 e" conversation, she
should tell him how strong he
was and he in return would tell
her, how small and weak she
was.
At the next Princeton dance
Miss Kimbrough followed her
tutor's advice while dancing
with a partner smaller than she.
Miss Kimbrough said while danc
ing with a boy three inches
shorter than she, "You're so big
and strong," and he softly whis
pered up into her ear, "So are
you."
Comments on Movie Industry
Miss Kimbrough is now em
ployed as a script writer in
Hollywood and believes, "The
motion picture industry is the
most important median to serve
as an ambassador of good will
throughout the work in portray
ing America's ideals and stand
ards honestly and accurately.
And it is the responsibility of
every individual to see that this
is carried out."

To Receive VA
Compensation

started in Korea may be entitled
to the Public Law 16 vocational
rehabilitation type of training,
which was previously limited to
World War II veterans. This was
reported by Ashley Westmore
land, Lincoln regional office man
ager. Under the new law. a veteran
must have been disabled after
June 27, 1950, the date the Ko-
:rean conflict began, and prior to
ine measure requires that the
disabilities of the Korean cam
paign veterans be such that the
VA may pay compensation at full
wartime rates. Such rates are
paid for disabilities resulting from
armed conflict, or during extra
hazardous service or while the
United States is engaged in war.
Westmoreland said that Public
Law 16 will be carried over into
the new training program pro
vided for Korean campaign veter
ans with the termination dead
line to complete their training be
ing nine-years from the end of the
current emergency.
The new law provided that vet
erans who already had received
GI Bill or Public Law training, as
a result of their World War II
service, may be entitled to addi
tional training if such training
is found necessary because of new
disabilities.
Westmoreland also said that
the VA will consider the World
War II veteran's previous record
of advisement and training, and
his current physical condition to
determine the type of additional
training that is needed.

and played in a dance orchestra.
This orchestra played at towns

ly, many of the engagements fell

would have to drive 100 or more
miles back to the campus; this

Consequently, he skipped quite

to the Student Council next
Of 1,219 students polled dur
ing second semester fee payment.
64 per cent are in favor of the
present independent organization;
9 per cent favor amending the
present group's constitution; 25
per cent would not support such
an organization; and 1 per cent
of the students polled gave no
preference.
Miss Green's committee recom
mended that ISA expand its pres
ent functions and responsibilities.
'Outspoken Position'
Jim Tomasek, president of the
independents' organization, said
at the Council meeting that be
cause of his "outspoken position"
on the ISA situation and the "im
possibility of contacting inde
pendents who live out in Lin
coln" he felt unable to comment
on the Council's recommendation.
Suggested by a Council mem
ber was the proposal to hold elec
tions to put in new ISA officers
and to start from scratch on the
organization.
Miss Green also reported to the
legislative body on an investiga
tion of fee payments to campus
honoraries conducted by her
committee. The Council mem
bers decided that an inquiry
should be made into the fee pay
ments to decide just what price
should be charged for pledging
fees, initiation fees, and semester
dues.
Further Action Promised.
Examples were presented from
honorary fee payments from
various campus groups. Those
given were business administra
tion, Ag college, Music school,
Methodist groups, advertising and
engineering honoraries.
Further action is contemplated
by the Council on the basis of
this investigation.
Miriam Willey and Romaine
Rasmussen spoke to the Council
on the present problem of dis
placed persons on the campus.
Council members were asked to
present the problem to their vari
ous organizations and to request
"assurances" from their groups.
The "assurances," which in
clude promises to provide money,
boarding, rooms and miscellane
ous items for displaced persons,
must'be officially filed by
March 1.
DP Committee
The displaced persons commit
tee functions under the jurisdic
tion of the Religious Welfare
council. An "all campus feeling
towards the situation" is being
sought by the Council through
the organizations it represents.
Ruth Sorenson, speaking in be
half of YW and the state com
mittee, spoke to the Council con
cerning the Fair Employment
Practices bill now before the
state legislature.
Miss Sorenson said that she was
speaking "to drum up support
for the bill." She felt that the
Council should "encourage such
bills that have direct bearing on
students."
Rev. Richard Nutt, Methodist
student pastor, told the Council
that the bill is written not in a
sense of law enforcement, but as
a mediation board to act on any
cases that come before it.
The bill would outlaw any dis
crimination in employment on
any unfair discrimination. Mr.
Nutt emphasized that the bill is
more of an educational program
rather than a "big stick" legis
lation. Favor The Bill
The Council approved a motion
to send a letter to the state legis
lators stating that the members
are in favor of the bill.
Work on the McLerran Act by
the Council judiciary committee,
headed by Gene Berg, will be
turned over to a man in the grad
uate school of social work. The
graduate school is carrying on an
active project regarding the Act.
