If you wanted to find out what students thought of communism, what would you do? One University student answered this by running an ad in The Daily Nebraskan. It read: "Wanted: Communist literature or information leading to literature or persons interested in communism." This innocent ad, run simply to find out just how hvster!cl people are about communism, has aroused the furor, fear and excitment of persons both on end off campus. It has resulted in threats, accusations, puzzlement and inquiries. The author of the ad has been ridiculed, cjuestioasd and a few times praised Praised by a few because it ac tually proved that a mass hysteria has blanketed tVe nation. Answers were varied and sometimes ar.iusing. A newspaper reporter noticed the ad one day and immediately contacted the University. "When informed of the circumstances be, too, felt a little sheepish knowing he had fallen into the trap. The "red ad" reaction vividly depics and gives concrete foundation to commentaries ex posing the "red scare In this country. The primary purpose for running this particu lar ad was to get material for a speech ma terial that would enable the writer to explain per sonally and explicitly how much one significant item can arouse the imagination of the people in volved. One caller threatened to "take the mat ter to the legislature unless The Daily Ne braskan discontinued the ad." The ad continued. Reprecnssions yet may come. The Daily Nebraskan, student newspaper, was accused of "harboring" communists simply because the one inch item was allowed in its pages. Seems a little silly. University professors asked students if any of them, by chance, was writing a term paper or thesis on communism. Students conver sations contained such phrases as "I just cant understand itr "do you suppose there are com munists on campus?" Answers to the ad arrived through the mail also. One answer was a penny post card containing an address, written obviously in disguised handwriting, of a publishing com pany. One reader proceeded cautiously in the let ter asking for "further information" before he would help. As for communist literature, the author of "red ad" received plenty of offers but many were prefaced by questions and doubt about offering for fear they, themselves, would be accused of being "pink." The .ad no longer is running. It served its pur pose. The speaker has enough material for a 10 minute dissertation. But perhaps, although the ad itself has been killed, perhaps it will give birth in the readers' minds of a new ad reading: Wanted: A sane and sensible nation regarding communism. Although we must be cautious, there is no need for hysterical fear. Wasteful Course To the Editor: I realize I am only one of about 350 freshman girls, but I am not alone when I ask the question, "Just why must we freshmen waste three hours a week in such a wasteful and useless course as physical education?" We came to college with the purpose of receiving, a valuable education; not to develop the skill of running five minutes without panting what an accom plishment. To those not familiar witn the freshmen women's PE course, I imagine they think that three hours a week in dancing around to dreamy music is all we do what a disillusion. The first five minutes of the period is spent walking, skipping and running around the gym Door. Following that, the re maining 40 minutes is spent do ing strenuous body exercises which are supposed to improve one's posture. Some of the body drills have been labeled such names as, "The killer" "The nightmare" and "The thing." If we are lucky enough to have a considerate teacher we might get out of class IS minutes be fore our next class, but the ma- Weed's 3ews Hn Review The "red ad" is melted lead now; we hope that jority of the time the class tne reactions of its short life wiu live Jong in readers' minds. j Jc.

With this new group of energetic officers, there should be no limit to Tassel's achievement in 1951-52. They might well start with the problem of spirit at Hus ker basketball games.

This latest step is one of the greatest toward relieving the tension on male stu dents.

Just the act of setting a date for the ISA election is an indication that the independents may soon be the organized group they once were.

Curtis on XJMT (MNn'i 4e TM MM m wrtttni wj rua Cmt- trmn x. (wn !! nn. nn mf tr Ml Kan mm imnlr wrmt tbe imti mt thr mm mm li'inl MMaij ItbMb.) Dear Robert: May I thank you for your letter of Feb. 10th giving me the results of the poll taken by the Stu dent Council in the University of Nebraska in reference to universal military training. The breakdown of figures you have given me is not only helpful but the analysis as set forth in your letter makes this information extremely valuable. It is my feeling that we should have a training program for all our youth. I sincerely hope that wars can be avoided. If, however, our young men j are to be sent to fight anywhere, they are to my I mind entitled to two things from their govern-1 merit. First, all the training they can possibly absorb to the end that they can better protect themselves from injury and death. Secondly, they are entitled to every bit of the latest and best eoiuioment that our great industrial nation c?n provide them. As you know there is a vast difference between military training and military service. In refer ence to any of these proposals, I reserve the right to see what the legislation provides and what the situation is that we are facing. As your repre sentative, you would not want roe to do otherwise Carl T. Curtis is dismissed only 10 minutes before. Therefore we must rush across the campus, still sweaty and warm, to our next class. Not only are we required to do the exercises, tests are scheduled regularly which count 50 per cent of one's final grade. If one is fortunate to have the test to ward the end of the week one can always get a copy otherwise just plan on flunking it Retreat, Advance This week's news on the Ko rean warfront begins with Mon day's communist drive nine miles deep into allied lines of central Korea. Allied forces in the east were thrown back, and on the eastern end of the line the reds wiped out a five-mile South Ko rean toehold north of the 38th parallel. , . Tuesday, the reds broke through the central Korean front almost to Wonju and the U.S. 10th corps realed back to a new defense line. The South Korean marines hit back at the reds, Wednesday, with an amphibious landing 130 miles behind the northeast Ko rean lines. The landing was made under cover of a furious naval bombardment at the north end of Wonsan harbor. Red siege forces south of Chip yong were put to flight Thursday by the blazing American tank column, which shot its way into town after a 14-mile dash from the Yoju area to the south. The trapped French-American force which had held the vital central Korean road hub against four davs of red attacks. Friday, the communists pulled back to lick their wounds and regroup after hurling an abortive torchlight banzai attack against Chipyong. 20 miles northwest of Wonju. before dawn. The Chinese reds drove within five miles of Chechon after outflanking Won-iu- By Saturday, about 20 thousand North Korean reds penetrated the east flank of the central front near Chechon. This was a sharp shift in Commuist strength east ward from Chipyong and Wonju, where Chinese reds suffered 22, 128 casualties during a four day try for a breakthrough.

Increases Approved A wage policy providing for 10 per cent increases in the fu ture, was approved by a 6-to-3 vote of the Wage Stabilization Board. This pattern would include wage increases plus cost-of-living adjustments based on the next government index, due next week. A 3 cent an hour increase will be brought to workers whose con tracts are tied to that index by special cost-of-living adjustment provisions.

More Troops Sent icuwrotanr nf Defense Marshall stated that the United States in tends to send 100.000 additional army troops including 72,000 men in four combat divisions to serve with the combined allied armies for the defense of western Europe. How long they mignt oe mere, he couldn not say. However, one t-imo w indicated that it might be necessary to keep U.S. troops in Europe for ten years, inis came when he said the period of inter national tension might last as long as decade. Marshall said that air and sea power could not prevent the fall of Europe in an all-out war with Russia. He also stated that if congress does not act one way or other on the troops-to-Europe is sue, the president plans to go 'ahead and dispatch the four di I visions. Desires Information Gov. Dewey asked the United States to "draw the line" at which it will fight for the world's freedom and thus stand a chance to "win the peace without a war." He said that it was doubt ful that Stalin would ever have launched the attack in Korea if he had known that America would respond. He urged that we go the rest of the way in releas ing information as to which na tions we will defend for sure in case of war so that nobody will ever have an excuse to drag us into an accidental war. Stalin Rebukes U.S. V AJ ... 4-Ka itViav ciAo t tVi& world, Stalin asserted that the United States is leading the United Nations to outward war and disintegration. Stalin assailed as "shameful" the U. N. decision to brand Com munist China as an aggressor. He depicted the Korean War as "ex tremely unpopular" among American and British soldiers. Stalin said Attlee lied in de picting the Soviet Union as building up its armed forces.

Muscle Girl President Truman has stated that allied troops are still operating under the United Nations author ity to cross the 38th parallel in Korea. Actually, some South Korean marines are fighting north of the old border between North and South Korea. The great bulk of U. N. troops are south of it and are being hard pressed by Com munist forces.

This Ques tion was' asked of several instruc tors in the Political Science -le-partirtent by a Eag reporter. H. L. Olson, had this sic, to tell: Once, when he was just start ing his career at the University, he thought he saw a girl crib bing on an exam. He walked around the class a while trying to make sure. The catch was that the girl had tne crib notes attached to a garter just about the hemline of her dress. As the girl always had her skirt down when he went by and he was unable to drum up enoun courage to make a closer investi gation, nothing ever came out of the affair. rnoikall Frwties Tbe uohtkal science professor also had a stiry to tell about a again and though he didn't crawl he came mighty close to iu Good Excsse Another Political Science prof.

When pressed for an explana tion of her many absences, the girl said that she thought all classes met only twice a week.
