UN Forces Take
Korean Offensive
United Nations tanks and
fantry went on the offensive
above Checoh on the east-central
Korean mountains and smashed
ahead four miles into the heart
of menacing communist bulge.
The U. N. push hurled back
elements of three North Korean
divisions who for a time had
threatened to turn the allied flank
below the central allied front
stronghold of Wonju, 20 miles
northwest of Chechon.
The drive also gave the allies
the initiative all alongt he Korean
front from the west coast 80 miles
inland to Chechon.
Lt. Gen. Mathey B. Ridgway.
commander of the Eighth Army
and all ground forces in Korea,
confirmed that the allies have
broken the counter-offensive and
sent the reds into retreat.
Air Force Stops
Involuntary Recall
The air force is cancelling the
involuntary recall to duty of
about 18,000 reserve airmen be
cause of the volume of voluntary
re-enlistments and enlistments.
The suspension of voluntary re
calls applies only to airmen. A
spokesman said it does not effect
the recall into active service of
members and units of the air
force organized reserves.

Where will I be next year?
This draft question is still the
main topic of discussion on all
college campuses over the nation.
The draft situation has been
stated and restated innumerable
sKieu ma rebl

u,?'""s'
He may join the army, air
force or Naval ROTC. This offi
cer training guarantees deferment
to complete four years of study
and brings a commission. The
student then spends several years
of active duty after college.
Another alternative is to enlist
in the naval reserve, apply for
in-iRoc (reserve officer candidate)
program. Any accredited college
offers ROC. Only high-rank stu
dents get in. April 15 is a dead
line for applying. Marines offer
platoon leaders' class.
A frosh may also volunteer next
May. Defense department prom
ises students their choice of serv
ice. It is a calculated risk to rely
on official promises. If 19 or old
er, he can expect the draft next
summer. Youths under 19 will
get into their sophomore year
before call comes, in all prob
ability. Sophomores
Sophomores may enlist in na
val reserves, apply for ROC. This
requires two six-week summer
training courses and drills. Ma
rines' PLC is similar. He may also
join the guard of reserves or vol
unteer. Another alternative is switch
ing to an engineering or science
course or he may plan on the
draft. About 1 out of 2 sopho
mores will be picked next sum
mer. At least, this is the opinion
of the magazine.
Juniors
Juniors can enlist in naval re
serve, apply for ROC. The ma
rine PLC is open to them also.
They may stay in college. Draft
boards are under pressure to de
fer juniors, though no one can
prejudice an individual case. Lo
cal board is supreme.
Another alternative is to vol
unteer now or in May. This guar
antees choice of service. But this
wastes investment in college
study. Air force has some avia
tion cadet openings.
Seniors
Senors may wait for the draft
but a call is virtually guaranteed
next summer. He may also try for
deferment. About 1 out of lOOjKnotts, programs; Joan Meyer,

sential worker-engineers and
medical trainees seem to have the
only .cal chance now.
Enlistment in the naval reserve
is another chance. A senior may
apply for a reserve officer com
mission upon graduation. Or he
may enlist in marine corps re
serve for officer candidate school.
Those who flunk can get dis
charges. The courses begins after

Style Show
To Be Held
Thursday
The Home Ec club and mem
bers of the fashion merchandiz
ing class at Ag are presenting a
style show, "Something Pretty
Special," in the Union at 7:30
p.m., Thursday, Feb. 22, and not
Feb. 28, as previously reported.
The show will be divided into
five parts. Each part will feature
either suits, casual, or tailored
dresses and formal models. No
less than half of the 50 dresses
to be modeled were made from
the design of a student and
therefore without use of a com
mercial pattern. ATI of the gar
ments to oe snown were sewn
by the girls themselves.
"I like My Age," is the title
or the first part of the show
which will feature useful cotton
dresses, typical of certain age
groups. Annette Carnahan will
narriate this section.-
"Always in Style" Clothes
Suits will comprise the second
section, "1 Like Tradition," to
be explained by JoRetta Owen.
The "always-in-style" type of
clothing will be shown in this
section.
The third section to be nar
rated by Pat Hasson is entitled
"I Like Line, Pure and Simple."
It will emphasize the various
lines of dresses, straight, full, or
decorative.
A basic dress with several
changes of accessories will be
used to carry out the "I Like
Versitality" theme of the forth
section of the show. Bonnie
Schmitt will explain this portion
of the program.
The final part of the program
is called "I Like Fashion." Some
thing new, different from any
other garment and representing
the "height of fashion" will be
featured in this part of the pro
gram. Delaine Bishop will nar
rate for the final portion of the
show.
Expanded Show
This year the show has been
expanded. In the past the annual
Home Economic club presentation
has been Held in the Foods and
Nutritions building on the Ag
campus. This year's show is
bigger, hence the expansion to
the Union.
Tickets including the Drice of
refreshments are 50 cents and
may be obtained at both city
and Ag Unions. The Home Ec
club is in charge of refreshments
and will also handle tickets,
publicity and ushering. Mrs.
Mary Hall's merchandizing class
is doing the basic planning con
tacting the models and writing
the scripts.

Answer to Shucks New Issue
By Wally Reed
Shame on Shucks.
Ladies, gentlemen and Shucks
staff, in my most humble man
ner I appeal to you, not even a
dog would bite the hand that
feeds it. Corn Shucks came out
as we predicted it would. It's
humor rocked the campus, but
what a terrible price was paid.
The Daily Nebraskan's good
name was smeared into the low
est depths of integrity (word
meaning good and' pure.) We
have told you month after month
what a wonderful magazine
Shucks is, how it's humor has
spread joy and happiness not
only to our own campus but to
other campuses throughout the
U. S.
Our happy little group could
have not been more surprised if
a small A-tom bomb had been
exploded in our midst.
Track Down Paper
If by chance one or two of
our readers do not know what
great injustice this whole article
is based upon, we ask him to
track down a sensationless bit of
driwle called "The Daily Ash
can" or the "bucket."
We are to commend the
"bucket" on their expose of the!
crap-schooters who are trying to I ing picture in this issue. It's

The committee ends its tour of
state institutions next week-end
with visits to the North Platte
experiment station and the Curtis
agricultural school. The group
has visited all 17 board of control
institutions and the four state
normal schools.
A new auditorium has been
recommended for Chadron State
Teachers college. With recom
mendations from the committee
and briefs of the arguments for
building freeze exemption, a
"defrosting" committee will de
cide the fate of the recommenda
tion. E. Albin Larson, secretary to
the normal board, said he sub
mitted his brief for the Chad
address.
Chancellor Gustavson found
Taft to be a very "warm" and in
telligent person. He is a man, the
Chancellor commented, very cap
able of the important congres
sional work being carried on in
Washington, D.C.
The Chicago meeting was held
nearly two years after a previous
meeting of the national commis
sion on accrediting in 1949. On
May 3, 1949, Chancellor Gustav
son, chairman of the commission,
called a meeting in which a set
of standards for professional
schools was developed.
Schools weak in professional
training were eliminated, forced
to consolidate, or to develop and
integrate improved educational
programs. Additional study of the
problem was made during last
week's conference.

from the house is merely nothing
more than a pledge. Further in

pledge is one who has been dead
for six weeks but ihey are keep

make a good active some day.
Communist Activity
If you will take it from one
who is in the know, the real
reason for the Student-Council
quitting in confusion is their re
cent investigation of communistic
activity of members of the 'Rag
aand 'Bucket' staff.
The Shucks staff also put out
another little pamphlet along
with their issue of the 'bucket'
entitled Corn Shucks.
In the current issue we wish
to call your attention to the joke
on Page 19, top of the center
column. It's good.
There is a portrait of an In
dian woman which we feel will
eventually will be the rage all
over the campus as it satirized a
college girls life so well. It's

these problems was that of stu

that the new council investigate,
