Hoover Says
Defense Plan
4Dan
resident Herbert Hoo-
Former President Herbert Hoo
ver was against sending four
more U. S. divisions to Europe
us a step into the "dangerous un
known" that might touch off
World War IIL
Mr. Hoover said Europe can't
be defended with less than 100
division's and there is "utmost
jeopardy" involving the United
States in land war there.
Speaking before the senate for
eign relations and armed serv
ices committees on the troops-to-Europe
issue, Hoover said in a
prepaired statement:
"It seems to me that there is
nly one real salvation for Eu-rr"-e
at the present moment. That
is, to build up the air and naval
power of the United States and
Britain so as to overwhelm Rus
sia in case of attack."
AMERICAN DOUGHBOYS
FORGE THROUGH RED LINES
American troops on the east
central Korean front broke
through the communists lines and
drove the reds into the moun
tains. Lt. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway,
Eighth army commander, toured
the central front and warned his
commanders not to overextend
their lines in chase of the flee
ing reds.
Although Lt. Gen. Edward M.
Almond, commander of the Tenth
corps said, two out of the three
retreating North Korean corps
had lost their effectiveness as
combat units, front-line officers
conceded that the reds had ex
tricated 16,000 troops from the
defeat.
CONSTITUTION CHANGE
OUTLAWS THIRD TERM
Unless President Truman rum
nd wins the presidency race in
1952, no American ever again can
be elected president for more two
terms or serve for more than ten
years.
For all practical purposes, that
limitation became effective when
Nevada ratified the 22nd consti
tutional amendment at 6:30 p.m.,
Monday. The amendment now
has been adopted by 36 states
the necessary three-fourths to
change the constitution.
The constitutional change first
ince the prohibition repealer in
1833 means that President Tru
man is the last man who possibly
ran be elected to more than two
terms. He is specifically ex
empted and keep on running as
lone as he lives and is elected.
Although Mr. Truman is ex
empted t is believed that adop
tion of the 22nd amendment
creates a formidable ethical road
block to any notions he mieht
have about running for re
election. This is based upon
the belief that the sudden hurst
of support for the constitutional
change reflects a widespread feel
ing that more than eieht years In
the white house is long enough
for any man.
WHERRY BLASTS THEORIES
OF MARSHALL, BRADLEY
Sen. Kenneth S. Wherry said
Ameria's defenses are being
strangled by "antiquated, ex
ploded theories of ground war"
advocated by Defense Secetary
George C. Marshall and Gen.
Omar N. Bradley.
In a bitter demand that -on-j

NEBRASKA'S OFFICIAL RING A new ring designed by a
senior class committee will soon be available to all Nebraska
alumni and present students. Shown above in a portrait of the
design worked out with the held of the Balfour company. The
bottom of the ring is bound together by a corn husk. One side
of the ring shows the top part of the state capitol. On the other
side is the seal of the University. On top is a protruded "N"
surrounded by "University of Nebraska." The founding date, 1869,
is lncnbed on

First Official Ring.
This is the first officials ring
the University has had. Shortly
after World War II veterans of
the different services, who had
seen other servicemen with rings
from various universities, made
inquiries to the alumnae associa
tion and the Nebraska Book store
as to whether or not the Uni
versity had a ring. This demand
became so great that the Book

store and the Balfour company
put out stock ring. - .
The ring was not distinctive
enough. Finally with, the interest
of the alumnae association and
the University the present com
mittee was appointed to design
the ring with the help of Bal
four company.
Symbolizes NU-SUte Unity
The bottom of the ring is bound
together by a corn husk which
symbolizes the unification of the
University and the state. There
is a corncob on either side of
the husk. On one side of the ring
is the top part of the state cap
itol. The wheat and the corn
show Nebraska's two major
crops. On the other side is the
seal of the University. The corn
husks cut through the seal.
The ring is made of heavy gold
of varying colors. On the top is
an N which stands out from the
ring. Surrounding it are the words
University of Nebraska. The
University's founding date, 1889,
is inscribed on the bottom.
Different from High School Eiart
"The ring is very different
from high school and other or
ganization rings," Aaron Schmidt
stated. "We have tried to get away
from the triteness and plamess of
these rings," he added.
At present only rings for men
are available, but if the demand
is strong enough women's rings
will be made. They are for sale
to any student who has attended
the University or who is enrolled
here now. The ring is not a senior
class ring but fr every t r; ember
of the University.
The rings themselves will not
be here until the first or second
week in May, but may be ordered
now.
Ag Campaign
Begun to Save
Grass. Lawns

It's open season at Ag campus!
on those who walk on the grass.
On city campus the buildings and
grounds people are attempting to !
discourage the same thing by
different means.
For the part several weeks, the
trees on campus have been get
ting their spring manicure. The
lopped -off limbs and branches
are being turned into barricades
along the edges of city campus
lawns.
"It's our method of diseourag- j
ing walking on the grass this I
year," reports Charles Fowler,
director of the buddings and
grounds.
The method ha been tried be
fore, though in the past fewj
years, something ele was used. 1
Fragrant fertilizer from Ag cam
pus had been imported and spread
to discourage jaywalking.
Ag campus authorities, how
ever, have placed an embargo on
the export of fertilizer this year.
It seems that their fields need
the stuff worse. Anyway, says
Fowler, the stuff slipped weed
seed onto city grass plots. The
barricades of tree branches seem
to he working effectively in some
spots.
Meanwhile, femmes in nylon
will be staying clear of the tem
porary hedges. As for other walk-,

Educational Turnabout ...
r
First Architecture Prof j
Returns to UN for Degree
A 62-year old man who finished
the construction of the Nebraska
capitol is now a student in the
University.
This same man. who finished
the capitol after the death of the
original architect, served in both
wars and is the founder and first
professor of the University col
lege of architect.'
Astounding? Yes, but even
more unusual is the fact that
this man, Harry 5 F. Cunningham,
who was highly commended for
his guidance in V raising the few
engineering college courses to
aarchitecture department status,
has no college degree.
But now, with a load of 23
hours of class work per week,
Harry Cunningham will work
toward a Ph. D. in political sci
ence. However, before he can get
the Ph. D., he plans to earn a
bachelor of arts and a master of
arts
At UN from '30 -'34
He first came to the University
in 1930, when Nebraskans became
"architecture conscious" after the
completion of the capitol and
wanted a school at the university.
He resigned in 1934.
He has again enrolled because ;
of a life-long desire to be a 1
writer. Both he and his wife agree
that Lincoln "is the best place
in the world and its residents are
the best friends." Cunningham
plans to pursue his career here.
Cunningham plans to soecialize
in writing on international af
fairs a subject for which he will
be well qualified because of his
many army experiences.
He entered the first World war
in 1917, as "Captain Cunning
ham," served as a machine gun
officer and received the rank of
major at the end of the war In
1919-1920, he was the first Amer
ican officer to attend the French
war college in Paris.
In the time between the two
wars, Cunningham alternated be
tween his architecture work and
his reserve army service.
In 1940, he again began sew
ing the armed forces as a lieuten
ant colonel. This time, he
traversed central Africa as an in
telligence officer in charge of in
telligence for western European
