This is the story of a communist-controlled university. This is also the story of how a courageous student body broke the hold of communism on that University. The institution was the Uni versity of Vienna in Austria. The young man who tells the story is Heinz Schreiner, blond, blue eyed exchange student now study ing at Nebraska. He is a native of Vienna.a city that to this day is jointly occupied by Russian, Britain, French and American troops. He was an eye-witness of the events described here, though at the time he was a high school student. The time: October, 1946. The University of Vienna had been since the close of World War II completely controlled by com munists who were swept to pow er when the red army captured the city. Later, the western allies arrived to occupy sectors of the city and the nation. Until the fall of 1946 the university's faculty was open only to "party line" pro fessors. The administration was communistic. Although the ma jority of students were non-communists, reds held all student of fices. Such a state of affairs was possible because the minister of education for the government was a communist. Free National Elections Free national elections were held in the spring of 1946 and the people of Austria proved that the communist party represented only a tiny minority in the coun try. Men from other political par ties took over the government The University of Vienna, how ever, was still run by communists. . The new minister of education could do something about elim inating communists from the ad ministration and faculty, but the rest was up to the students. Elec tions were held for the student council, known as the "Zen tralausshuss.M Among student fac tions who voted were the "Wahl block" Conservative Christians, fraternity members), the "Junge Front also conservative), the student Socialists, and the stu dent communists. The commu riists were able to control less than four per cent of the votes. They were kicked out of the stu dent council. Communists Retaliate But now Austrian police ap peared behind the mob, but there was little they could do. Police headquarters was controlled by communists; anyway, the police weere unarmed. They retreated before a hail of rocks thrown by the mob. Reds Begin Snrpe. The roaring communists com menced to surge against the building. They could not get through the doors; they stormed in tnrougn tne iirst-tioor win dows. Once inside they started throwing students out of the win dows to the mob. The commu nists were outnumbered with the building, however. The students counter-attacked and began using their own fists and feet to good effect The messenger from the be sieged students managed lo slip through the crowd and dash off down a side street. Some distance across town was the Vienna vete terinarians' schooL Soon a body of students from there hurried to the relief of their comrades at the university. Riot Ends The riot had lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon. Soon the tide began to change. The chan cellor of the university managed to communicate with the military police of the American rone. Steel-helmented M.P.'s arrived and fell upon the rear of the communist mob. They proceeded to disperse the rioters. As the mob broke up, sections of it moved down side streets to throw rocks at student rooming house, Austrian police chased them on before they could do much damage. The battle was over and the communist threat to the univer sity was ended. That was not the end of the matter though. Reds Lose Grip A wave of public revulsion at the deeds of the mob damaged communist influence. Communism dropped still lower in Austraian public opinion. "Since that time, no more than 3 per cent of students are com munists. Today universities are centers of anti-communism. Aus trians will be talking about the riot for ten years." So says Heinz Schreiner, who saw it happen. That is the story of how com munists lost their last hold on a university, after freedom-lov- NU Bulletin Board Tuesday Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben those com peting in the coed riding contest are requested to draw for horses at 5 p. m. in Animal Husbandry building.

For a mo ment she forgot herself and threw the words "pop" and "Longhair." The instruc tor was shock ed. "What," he inquired, "are you talking about?" (Ed. note: Sorry Art, I guess he doesn't read your column.) Well, in order to help the faculty, so that they may also receive a well rounded edu- cation, here is a review of both "Pop" and "Longhair" music. Arturo Toscanini and the NBC Symphony orchestra, No. 8, in B Minor (unfinished). The fire that Toscanini keeps blazing in his later years is astonishingly evident in this musical score. In this score by Respighi, the com poser sought to capture the es sence of the volatile Roman char acter, which Toscanini brings the Respighi idea to reality. For music that has a stirring beat lis ten to this score. Opera soprano star Helen Traubel. with Frieder Weissmann conducting the RCA Victor Och estra has recorded opeatic arias by Wagner Vol. I and II. Miss Traubel sings Wagner as it should be sung. If there is any doubt concerning the magnificence of this American born demi-goddess of song, let these recordings put that fear aside. In these records Miss Taubel unleaches the full fury of epic anger in Isolde's tales and curse. If vou want to hear an opera singer at her best, by a composer that is recognized as a man of wonderful workmanship, hear these records of Traubel and Weissmann. Enough of the "Longhair" for this time. Let us turn to the "pop" tunes of the day. Mindy Carson has been brought back to life. She does a wonderful job of "The Best Things of Life Are Free," and "Button Up Your Overcoat." The thinr that struck me the most was the way that Mindy was fitted into each son. The sones. it seemed, wene written just for ber. Mindy Carson's smooth, well-schooled and pleas ant voice is perfect for the list ener that she sinsrs for. If you are a fan of Carson's you will enjoy the smoothness of her voice on these two records. Finecy Takes Top Honors On Youth Opportunity Show One University graduate stu dent barely shaded another for top honors in the Lincoln phase of Horace Heidt's "Youth Oppor tunity Show" Sunday night. Lee Finecy drew a little high er reading on the audience ap plause meter than his nearest con tender, Sue Kent. Finecy, a tenor, has been sing ing since he was three years old. The native of Sutherland is a graduate of Nebraska Wesleyan. He is a staff vocalist for WOW and KFOR. During the war he was a vocalist for the Bluejackets choir at the Great Lakes train ing center. In 1949 Finecy had the lead in "Faust" when it was presented at Pinewood Bowl. He sings popu lar, semi-classical, f.nd opera numbers. Works at KOLN Miss Kent is a receptionist and secretary at radio station KOLN. A native of Alliance, she sings popular and semi-classical num bers. Miss Kent is studying music at the University under Alma Wag ner. Her selection for Sunday night's performance was "I'm in Love With Vienna." Fran Nagle, stellar ouarterback for the University, and Elsworth DuTeau, president of the Lions Club, which sponsored the show in Lincoln, judged the audience reaction by the electric applause meter. Proceedings from the show went into the building fund of the Lincoln Braille club. Biggest man in the show was Ralph Sigwald, who doubles as a stage hand and performer, ine 365-pound former Charleston, S. C. school custodian was billed as the "Caruso of the South."

Party leaders mustered a mob of ten thousand people in the city one morning and marched on the university. The University of Vienna has no campus as such, but its school buildings stand along several streets. The vast main building of the university stands on the great avenue called the "Rbigstrasse." This building the mob surround ed, trapping within it some two thousand or more students who were attending morning classes. Oraars Enflame Mob Communist orators then en flamed the mob with speeches. They shouted that the university was eoptroUe-- by fascists, that the students were "fascistic." The mob members began to grow vi ler) t. They stormed toward the University building. The students within had shut and bolted the heavy doors. Rebuffed, the mob turned its f ury upon scores of students who had been caught on the streets.

'AT 'Marriage in Wartime' Ends YWCA, YMCA, Union Series Kenneth Cannon, assistant pro fessor of home economics, spoke Monday in the last of the series of four marriage relation dis cussions. His topic was "Mar riage in Wartime." "We mustn't get wartime mar riage and marriage in wartime mixed," Cannon said. "War time marriage is when a couple meets and within two or three months, or sooner, gets married; on the other hand, marriage in wartime is when the couple have contemplated marriage but the war has only sped up the mar riage. Each couple has a different problem to consider when think ing about wartime marriage, he emphasized, and there are four things to consider. Wartime Marriajfe Problems They are: readiness for mar dies to wartime marriage but you must consider that parents usually are as emotionally in volved as the couple," Professor Cannon said. "Marriage in Wartime" was then further analyzed by a stu dent panel of Dick Kuska, Rob ert Raun, Gene Berg, Norma Chubbuck and Mrs. Oenene Grimm. The marriage relation series has been sponsored by the YWCA, YMCA and the Union under the direction of the Un ion convocations committee. Jack Greer and Jo LaShelle are co chairmen of this committee. Topics of the four discussions have been "Choosing a Mate," "Sexual Adjustment in Mar riage," "Marriage in War-time" and "Religion in Marriage." Dr. Meadows, Dr. Janet Palmer.

"Marriage involves adjust ment," said Cannon. Many mar riages break up from the mal adjustment that results when the husband returns from war. They must adjust to the problems that come up after the husband re turns, adjust to each other again and possibly adjust to a family. Concerning children involved in wartime marriages, Cannon said, "Does the man have the right to take and the woman the right to give responsibility of the child?" If the husband doesn't return, the child needs both par ents for proper care. In 6ome cases the wife's father can take the place of the child's father.
