NUCWA Continues Plans
For Spring Conference
Dr. Frank Sorenson will speak about his recent trip
to the United Nations Thursday at a mass meeting of
NUCWA and the spring conference delegates.
Dr. Sorenson, who returned last week after spend
ing two weeks attending the United Nations sessions at
Lake Success, N. Y., will give information about the po-
Red Drive
Is Feared
Imminent
An advance of more than a
mile in a blinding Korean snow
storm was made against red
forces screening a Chinese build
Up for ai all-out counter-offensive
by the second division in
fantrymen. Gen. Douglas MacArthur re
ported that one to 12 fresh en
emy divisions 100,000 men
from red China's long-missing
Third field army were moving
jnto position behind the central
Korean front for what may be an
imminent assault.
On the U. S. side of the line
are seven American divisions
with attached Turkish, Greek,
Dutch and French brigades and
battalions, two British common

strength about 200,000 men,
Russia to Wipe
Out Peasantry.
Russia's ragged peasantry is
now playing guinea pig in a bol
shevik experiment. The experi
ment is to wipe out the peasantry
as such, because it is too danger
ous, and to convert it into a "ru
ral proletariat," Stalin has de
creed that all collective farmers
be removed as quickly as possible
from their villages and possible
from their villages and herded
into "agricultural cities."
The step will theoretically af
fect more than 20 million fami
lies. It has already destroyed any
thoueht of security which the
peasantry had regained after
the Germans withdrew from the
Ukraine.
There is reason to believe that
the peasantry has already react
ed unfavorably ,to Jast., .year's
orive ffor :the amalgamation of
smaller collective farms. Blasts
in the newspapers about the
shortage of "local fertilizers" in
dicate that the peasants have
been up to their old trick of kill
ing oft their livestock rather
than have it fall into the hands
of the government.
Senate Defeats Three
Year Service Term
The senate defeated 77 to 14 an
attempt to limit to three years the
service terms of all volunteers
for the armed forces.
Senator Morse (r., Ore.) pro
posed it as an amendment to the
broad universal military train
ing and service bill. He contend
ed the air force, navy and ma
rine had "high-pressured" thou
sands of young men to enlist for
four years "to avoid being draft
ed into the infantry."
The army asked for 60,000
draftees during May. This num
ber would bring the total induct
ed by the army since last Segi. 1
to 590,000. The navy, air fBrce
and marines have not yet taken
men via the draft during the
present emergency.
Elgin to Manufacture
Ammunition Components
The Elgin National Watch com
pany announced it has been
awarded a major contract for
manufacture of naval ammunition
components at its Lincoln plant.
George W. Franker, head of El
gin's newly-formed ordnance
division, said tooling for the job
would begin immediately, but
that actual production would not
get under way until next sum
mer. Although the ordnance division
Is already hiring personnel, the
large volume hiring would not be
practical until preliminary tool
ing is completed.

It Happened at NU
The doorbell rang. A pledge
opened the door. Then the fun
began. A pair of female arms
reached out and grabbed the un
suspecting pledge. The owner of
the arms then kissed him.
The girl, along with one of
her friends, entered into the
house and proceeded to kiss
everyone who happened to be
on the main floor. One lad who
was dozing in the library nearly
missed all the fun. After being
kissed, he started swearing
then when fully awake, laughing.
The girls were pledges of a
high school sorority of some sort
and were carrying out orders
connected with their initiation.
Wishnow, Music Instructor,
To Conduct Omaha Symphony
"1 don't know."
Such was the answer of Eman
uel Wishnow, head of the string
i department and associate profes
isor of violin, as to how he was
going to manage the conductor-
ship of the Nebraska Symphony
i orchestra with its coming spring
concert and serve as interim con
ductor of the Omaha Symphony
orchestra for the 1951-52 season
at the same time.
Prof. Wishnow's appointment to
this additional position was an
nounced recently by Mrs. Francis
L. Martland, president of the
Omaha Symphony. He will suc
ceed Conductor Richard E. Dun
can. Teacher and Conductor
Wishnow is recognized in mu
sic circles for his soundness as a
teacher, player and conductor.
He has been concertmaster of
the Lincoln Symphony orchestra
since 1936. He has previously
appeared as guest conductor of
the Omaha Symphony. Wishnow
has also done several concerts
with Andre Kostelanetz in Paris
and Sir Adrian Boult in London.
During the summers of 1949 and
1950, he was a member of the
conducting class of Pierre Mon
teux in Hancock, Maine. '
Gratified at being chosen to
lead the Omaha Symphony, Wish
now said, "I am very pleased that
I can help carry on the tradition
and it has become a tradition
that the Symphony has set at
Omaha."
Old and Contemporary Music
According to Wishnow, the pro
gramming for the Omaha Sym
phony is yet in its embryonic
stages. Even so, he hopes to pre
sent a fair balance of old and
contemporary music. This would
be parallel to the practice of all
first class symphonies.
Wishnow expressed his partial-
freshments will be served follow
ing the meeting."
The purpose of the meeting
2
or :
not to influence the opinions of
those attending for or against the
bill. According to Ruth Shinn, YW j
campus director, the discussion is !
being held to acquaint University,
women with the aspects of thei
act.
A bill similar to the McCarran
act was killed in committee mcet
of the Nebraska state legislature.
However, Congress has passed the
bill over President Truman's ve
to ancl it is now in effect.
Foster spoke to the state legis
lature concerning the bill. He has
stated that he Is definitely against
the bill but is willing to try to
present both sides of the argu
ment for the benefit of the dis
cussion. An attempt was made by the
YW to secure a speaker to be for
the bill. No one could be con
tacted that was willing to support
the McCarran act.
Following Foster's presentation
of the pros and cons of the bill,
the meeting will bp opened for
discussion.
The bill concerns Communist
activities in the United States. It
entails such measures as requir
ing Communists to register and
gives the attorney general power
to brand certain organizations as
Communist front groups.
All University women interest
ed in the aspects and results of
the bill are urged to attend the
meeting tonight.

The sales tax is the first of

Charles S. Miller of the Univer
sity's College of Business Ad
ministration will also favor the

ity to American composers. Ac
cording to the professor, much of
the fine music by these compos
ers deserves a wider hearing.
Having been in the string sec
tion of the Glenn Miller orches
tra in Europe during the last war,
Wishnow spoke of the leader
thus: "His motto was 'something
old, something new, something
borrowed and something blue.'

but I do feel one must present the
whole panorama of music in or

Independents
May Lose
Council Seat
The main question on the agen
da of the Student Council is
whether or not the independent
students should be allowed rep
resentation. Unless independents can con
vince the Council that they de
serve to be represented, they may
lose their guaranteed representa
tion. After prolonged discussion last
Wednesday, members of the
Council decided to invite indi
viduals representing the various
independent organizations or in
dependents at large to voice their
opinions at the meeting today.
This docs not include the Resi
dence Halls for Women, whose
problem has already been dis
cussed. The Council's action is aimed
primarily at men's independent
groups, and was brought about by
articles concerning representation
in the Council's proposed consti
tution, which is now being con
sidered. The question was raised by
several members as to whether
the independent students deserved
any guaranteed representation.
They pointed to the lack of in
terest of independents in ISA, the
disinterest of unaffiliated men in
a men's organization similar to
BABW, and the unwillingness of
men's cooperative houses to unite.
Several Council members con
tended that "independent stu
dents are in no way interested
in the welfare of independent
students or in the welfare of the
University."
The Council felt, because of
these opinions, that independents
should be asked to present rea
sons for any desired representa
tion on the Council. Rob Raun,
president, expressed the view
that "if they don't show up, we'll
know they aren't interested in
being represented on the Coun
cil." All independent students who
are interested in being represent
ed on the Student Council should
attend the council meeting March
7, at 4:00 p.m., and give their
reasons,

The bulletin is published yearly
by members of the University
Builders. It concerns all forms of
college life on a high school level.
The magazine's purpose is to en

attend the University.
The cover of this new issue

are attending the High School

sponsors every fall. The students

of Hanson's earlier work, he de
scribed the selection as "direct
and sincere," and "very dra
matic." "It is music for music's sake,"
he said, meaning that it told no
story and yet was easily compre
hended. The score will include
the "Adagio," "Andante con ten
erezza" and "Allegro con brio."
"The best Spanish music has
been written by non-Spaniards,"
quipped Wishnow as he spoke of
the numbers by Rimsky Korsa
kov, to be included on the spring
concert program. "It has been
only recently that Spanish com
posers have been able to express
the music of the country in their
own right," he said.
The selection, entitled "Capric
cio Espagnol," involves a series
nf Spanish dances. The most well
known of these, according to the
professor, is "Fandango Asturi
ano," a gypsy scene. Wishnow
commended this number for its
"elaborate orchestration," and
many instrumental solos.
"Andante cantabile" by Tschai
kowsky will follow it on the pro
gram.
Guild of Master Singers
In Wishnow's opinion, the "Pre
lude Die Meistersinger" by Wag
neh is the introduction to one of
the best known of the composer's
works. The opera itself is the
story of a guild of master singers.
Wishnow plans to continue his
duties .at ti.e University as a
member of the Fine Arts groups.
The professor, English born,
was graduated from the Univer
sity in 1932 and received his mas
ter's degree in 1939 at New York
university. He studied with
Jacques Gordon and played with
the Gordon string quartet. This
included the Whitall scries at the
Library of Congress.
