D
f
Agrees With
Aims of Point
Four Plans
Material aid to nations of the
World is more effective than
propaganda.
That was the view expressed
by Mrs. Edith Sampson, alternate
delegate to the United Nations
as she spoke to Univ .sity con
vocation Friday morning in the
Union ballroom.
Instead of spending nearly 100
million dollars for propaganda
abroad, the United States might
better use its money to send tech
nicians to help the people of the
world to raise their living stand
ards, she said.
The help should be from in
dividuals rather than from the
government, she said. She ex
pressed approval of the aims of
the Point Four program.
Democratic Way Best
"I believe the democratic way
of life is the best way of life,
having compared it with others,"
she said. "We would find it easy
to win other countries to our
viewpoint if we would practice
What we preach."
"The United States is, with
passing generations, coming to be
less prejudiced," she said. "We
are moving out of the darkness
into the light." I
"We must come to the point j
Where we are against discnmina
tory practices in Nebraska, Mis
sissippi or the Union of South
Africa," she said. "God made us
all alike. We are our brother's
keeper."
Refused Service
Following a world-wide trip, in
Which she was served in restaur'
ants all over the world, Mrs.
Sampson was refused service in
a Washington hotel because of her
color.
"I was so ashamed for my coun
try," she said.
At the time, Mrs. Sampson had
just returned from a round-the-world
trip called "Town meeting
of the World. Representatives
of leading organizations all over
the country were invited to send
delegates. As chairman of the
executive committee of the Negro
Women of America, Mrs. Samp
eon was chosen to go, at her own
expense.
"When I went on the trip, I
was a smug American," she said.
"Nobody could tell me any
thing." Learned Mnch On Trip
She criticized the American
tendency to consider their ways
of life superior to all others. She
said she had learned much from
her trip.
"The men in the Kremlin are
people you just couldn't get along
with," she said. "They are hell
bent on world conquest."
"The enemy is busy preparing
himself to take over," she said.
She said that In order to meet
this challenge, the United States
mdst be united and prepared so
the "men in the Kremlin" wouia
not dare to start a war.
When she was appointed as a
UN delegate, Mrs. Sampson was

U. X. DELEGATE CONVO SPEAKER Mrs. Edith Sampson, UN
delegate and attorney spoke to a University convocation Friday
morning, March 9. Mrs. Sampson told students that she believed
people of the United States were becoming less prejudiced and
also is in favor of material aid to foreign countries.
'Awareness 'Needed,
Comments Sampson
By Joyce Lindley
Americans cannot close their
eyes to the rest of the world.
This was emphasized by Mrs.
Edith Sampson, alternate dele
gate to the UN general assem
bly, at a press conference Friday
in the Union.
In everyday language she ex
plained that every other nation
is aware of all the activities ot
the U.S.; no longer are they only
domestic issues They are the con
cern of the world, and particular
ly the "men of the Kremlin," who
are analyzing ana magnifying
them.
Fair Employment Bill
Mrs. Samuel pointed out that
such issues as the fair r-W""-ment
practices bill recently be
fore the Nebraska legislate, u
defeated, would be the very thing
for the Kren.lin to us against the
whole U.S. She said that in a
democracy such measures should
be natural and not require legis
lation. Don't Care?
She claims that the rest of the
world believes that Americans
don't think about them, and even
more don't about them. In her
opinion, the U.S. should con-

Block and Bridle club, spon
sors of the annual Junior Ak-Sar-Ben
horse show and livestock
showmanship contest Saturday, is
having a little pre-show fun.
Tickets have been printed and
due to a printer's error read:
"Block and Bridal Club, etc.,. . ."
A student quibbed, "And what
kind of a serimony are the horses
going to have? Will the bride
wear pink?"
Mortar Board
Convention
Was Saturday
Four colleges were represented
at the annual Mortar Board
regional convention which was
held in the Union Saturday.
Schools sent delegates from the
University of Illinois; Knox Col
lege, Galesburg. 111.; University
of Kansas; and Kansas State Col
lege. Eleanor Knoll, regional secre
tary of Mortar Board chapters in
section seven held personal con
ferences with Mortar Boards dur-
fa the convention.

the University in 1947. She ma
jored in secondary education and
was president of the University
Black Masques. Miss Knoll is now
teaching high school at Sauk City,
la.
Saturday was spent attending
chapter panel discussions.
Sally Holmses led the first
panel with two members from
Kansas university and the Uni
versity of Illinois. They discussed
"Types of Mortar Board Proj
ects." The next panel was held by
Audrey Rosenbaum and Susan
Reed. Two representatives from
Kansas State college and Knox
college were also on the panel.
The topic was "Choosing New
Members."
The final panel, which con
cerned Mortar Board finances
was led by Nancy Porter.

centrate their efforts on the un
committed people of the world
and attract them to a free coun
try, rather than attempting to
piece the Iron Curtain.
Mrs. Sampson maintained that
"we" shouldn't be so preoccupied
with ourselves that we neglect to
learn about other peoples. She
suggested that we "learn the his
tory of the world -in order to
know why we have arrived where
we are now." "
Don't Sell Democracy
We don't sell our democracy
any way, she said. And now it
to others or try to perfect it in
is on trial.
She said that the young negroes
of America regard her appoint
ment as a new hope for them.
They look up at her as their repre
sentative, but she emphatically
explained that she represented all
Americans, not just a fraction of
them. She stated in her excited
alto voice that above all else she
was an American.
As a judge on the Chicago
juvenile court and a practicing
lawyer, Mrs. Sampson said she
was overwhelmed to take a place
beside reknowed and experi
enced diplomats, "It is the high
est diplomatic post a Negro ever
had," she said.
Dean Acheson
Mrs. Sampson said that Sec
retary of State Dean Acheson
was a "good" and very admirable
man. She said he bore the crit
icism well which has been thrown
at him recently, and that he has
proved it by sticking to his job
when he could have taken the
easy way out. She pointed out
that the Chinese agreement
which, he has been condemned
for, was not his doing, but that
of his predecessor Byrnes.
Of the 10 members of the U.S.
delegation, she said there was a
noticeable absence of women,
And, she claimed, because of this,
she underwent examination both
as a woman and a Negro. She
said that she had found studying
a necessity to keep up with the
other representatives.
One of the many features of
Friday night's Junior Ak-ar-Ben
show which starts at 8 p.m. at
the State Fair grounds coliseum
will be the coed riding contest
sponsored by the Block and Bridle
club.
Ten University coeds have

Museum to Show
Religious Works
The Joslyn art museum, in con
junction with the ending of the
Lenten season, will have a spe
cial showing of the Fourteen
Stations of the Cross illustrated
by Omaha artist John Andrews.
The illustration will be ready
for showing at noon on Good Fri
day, March 23 in the reception
room of the Joslyn art museum.
The illustrations depict the pe
riod in the lffe of Christ from
the condemnation to the entomb
ment. Many such studies have
been done before and figures or
groups of figures have been used
to carry the narrative and the
religious feeling of the great
story.
However, Andrews has used a
scratch board or "scraped ink"
medium and the subject matter
carries the pathos by portraying
only the hands and feet of Christ.
Special showings are being ar
ranged for church groups.
The exhibition will close April
15.
Students who have paid or
want Student Directories may
pick them up at the Builders
office this week.

presented in the Coliseum. Later,
in May, the band will partici
pate in the Ivy Day ceremonies
and also during Commencement.
The bandsmen have also furn
ished pep music at the basketball
games this season.
UMlMBiU
Approved
By Senate
The senate passed a bill Friday
to draft 18-year-olds, lengthen
the service period to 24 months,
and authorize universal military
training. Passage of the UMT pro
gram was for the first time in
American history and is an over
whelming victory for military
leaders and the administration,
Congress or the president may
set the program into motion
whenever the international situa
tion eases up.
The bill was passed by a vote of
69 to 5.
Ceiling Questioned
The only issue which military
men advised against was the four
million-man ceiling on the size
of the armed forces. It was passed
by the senate. Marshall and his
aides had warned that this re
striction would be a "gamble
with the nation's security" and an
aid to Russia.
Although the bill lowers the
minimum draft age, all available
manpower In the 19 to 25 age
group, including childless, non-
veteran fathers will be taken first.
The measure must be passed
by the house before it will be
come law. The house armed serv
ices committee is working on a
bill now that varies in some re
spects. Draft Provisions
The senate measure will:
1. Draft 18 year olds from the
top of that age bracket down
ward. 2. Provide that congress or the
president may enforce the UMT
program whenever it becomes
necessary.
3. Require that men inducted
under the bill wil be in the re
serves after their release from
active duty for a total of eight
years, which includes their active
service.
4. Give the armed services com
mittees of both houses a chance
to review the legislation within
five years after passage to see if
it is working satisfactorily.

Collects
$4,500
$4,500 was collected during th
year by the All University Fund
drive.'
$4,500 is the largest amount
ever raised during all previous
AUF drives.
The fund will be distributed in
this manner:
World Student Service Fund
$2,000.
Crusade for Freedom $300.
Lincoln Community Chest
$2,000.
AUF treasury $200.
The Crusade for Freedom aids
fighting communistic propaganda
behind the iron curtain. The
World Student Service fund pro
vides food, clothing, shelter,
medical aid and educational mate
rials for needy students and pro
fessor abroad.
Almost three times the amount
given to the Lincoln Community
Chest will be returned to the Uni
versity by the Lincoln group
through the YW and YMCA. The
money remaining in AUF's treas
ury pays for next year's expendi
tures. The AUF members feel that the
drive fell $500 short of its in
tended goal due to the fact that
almost 2,000 students have drop
ped out of school since the be
ginning of the drive. Each stu
dent contributed on the average
of 75 cents to AUF.

appointed as an advisory board
for College Days.
At it first meeting, the com
mittee discussed the areas in
which it would operate in assist
ing students during College Days.

lege Days, which is to be held
April 26 to 28, should come from
the students with only advisory
help from the faculty. They also
approved the idea ot jetting tip
one or two concession stands on
the campus during the three-day
event.
Members of the faculty com
mittee, who represent various de
partments of the University, are
the following:
James S. Blackman. assistant
