Daniel T. Wieland, jr., assistant professor of naval science. (U. of N. photo) NROTC Students to Begin Practical Radar Experiments Naval R.O.T.C. students at the University this week will begin practical experiments in radar operation which henceforth will be a regular part of the sopho more course. The expanded training is made possible by the installation of $35,000 worth of radar equip ment of the type used on naval. surface craft. The equipment, property of the navy, was installed by a four man team from the electronics di vision of the Industrial Manager of the Great Lakes Naval Train ing Station. Radar in Practice Instruction in radar theory has Med Hopefuls Must Meet April Deadline All pre-med students of the University desirous of admission to the 1952 freshman class of the College of Medicine must apply soon. Dr. E. F. Powell, pre-med ad viser, reminded that applications are due in April. They must be received at Princeton, N. J. on or before April 28. Those aspirants for Medical college must also take the medical aptitude test May 12. All pre meds are urged to arrange for the test then, rather than wait to take the November tests, which also have been offered in the past' Applications may be secured through Dr. Powell, 306 Bessey hall. The exact time and location of examination will be sent by noti fication to each applicant by the Princeton testing service. Powell stressed that the April 2 dead line must be met in order that the applicant be eligible to take the exam. New Builder's Paper to Greet Visiting Cagers Copies of the Scarlet and Cream - will be distributed to high school students at the state high school basketball tourna ment here Wednesday and Thursday, March 14 and 15. The newspaper, published by Builders, is designed to give the high school students a view of life at NU, and thereby en courage them to enroll here. According to Janet Steffen, editor, this issue will highlight events on campus now and next semester. A schedule of College Days activities planned for the visiting students by Builders and the Union will be given. t page of pictures entitled "What You'd Do at Husker land " will illustrate all phases of University life. Pictures of five basketball sars from various class schools, a welcoming by John Bentley, publicity director of athletics at NU .and an outline of next sem ester's main events will also be offered.

She said that she was travelling in "fast company" among U. S. delegates to the UN. She praised the ability of the United States delegation. As a UN delegate, she worked with the committee -'hich in vestigated the "jamming" of the radio voices of the western Euro pean nations. Russian Prisoners She also worked on a commit tee which sought the return of three million World war II pris oners from Russia. Mrs. Samp son was not very optimistic about the return of these men. She said that those still In Russia are some of the best brains of Germany, Italy and Japan.

Lt. (jg) Daniel T. Wieland, jr., assistant professor of naval sci ence and tactics, who teaches the course, said the instruction now possible will give students a thor ough basic knowledge of radar op eration. Graduates of the course, he said, should be able to oper ate radar aboard ship after an hour or so of familiarizing them selves with the ship's equipment. First Lab Assignments The 41 members of the current sophomore navy class will be the first to take the laboratory as signments. The radar room is lo cated in the northeast corner of the military and naval science Duiiaing. its equipment nas a range of about 37 miles and is accurate enough to locate an ob 1 II J Tl . . ject the size of a five-gallon drum at a distance of three miles. Lieutenant Wieland said stu dents will use the radar to locate practice targets of water towers and small aircraft. In addition to the new radar equipment, the University's naval laboratories have devices for practice in sub marine detection, surface naviga tion and communications. Dr. Sorenson Describes UN Steps in Korea Aggression The United Nations steps in branding the Red Chinese an ag gressor in Korea were explained by Dr. Frank Sorenson Thursday. Speaking to NUCWA members and spring conference delegates, he described how the matter went from the Security Council to the General assembly and how four cease fire orders were presented. Dr Sorenson, who recently re turned from a two week trip to the UN said there has been a dis tinct change in the organization the past three years. From 1945 to 1948 it was mostly a debating society, he commented, but now there is action. . "Some say action is too fast," he said. Source of Strength He believes the strength is not only in the military, but th economic and political ' fields. He said the United States should set up schools and universities be cause foreigners are impressed with this. Arabs do not have much re spect for the U.S., he said, be cause the foreign policy changes so much. They look on Point Four with favor, he .added. Dr. Sorenson, after a talk with Ag Convo Speaker, Dr. Baker, To Give View of Australia Dr. Marvel L. Baker, associate director of the Agricultural ex periment station at the Univer sity, will address a general conl vocation Tuesday on the actual agricultural practices along with economical and political prob lems of Australia and New Zea land. Under the sponsorship of the Tn-K club, the convocation will start at 7:30 p.m. in the Ag Col lege activities building. All stu dents and faculty members, their families and friends are invited to attend. Dr. Baker returned in January from a thru month tour of the lands "down under" with his mind and notebook filled with their economic and -social pic ture. Traveled 8,000 Miles Supported my the University Foundation, Baker spent most of his trip conferring with research and extension personnel but Whisker King Filings Noic Open Filings for the annual Ag whisker contest will open March 12, from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. An Ag student with fast growing whislcerg will reign as Whisker King at the Cotton and Denim Dance. Contestants will be judged on the basis of the best growth of whiskers "coaxed out" between March 12 and April 28, the week of Farmers Fair. Interested Ag students must appear clean shaven before a booth set up in the Ag Union. This year the Cotton and Den im dance will be held in con junction with Engineers Week and College Days. The dance Is scheduled for the night of April 28 in the Coliseum. THE Movies, Dances Do you belong to a union? Of course you do the fun makers' union only ' this Union make the merriment for you. A great deal of diversion arises from tradition. Every fall, it stages a freshman reception and open house. This is kind of a get acquainted affair. The Union pro vides students with the chance to meet the chancellor and members of the faculty. On the side, it offers an orchestra dance, movies, refreshments and games. Christmas gives this union of yours the chance to get in the spirit of the season. Aside from entertainment by the University Love Hall Booth Takes Trophy at Estes Carnival The Estes Carnival traveling trophy was - awarded to Love hall's "$75,000 Bull Session." The carnival, held Friday night in the Ag college activities build ing was called by the judges the "best carnival ever held." A rec ord crowd of nearly 400 attended. The winning booth was buiit around a farmyard scene. It was divided into four sections, "Rope the Calves," "Throw the Bull", "Hit the Bull's .Eye" and "It's a Bum Steer." Participants lassoed calves of girl's legs, threw rubber balls through small holes, threw darts at Ferdinand and pinned the tail on a moving Hereford calf. Promise To Work The Love hall girls awarded "promise to work" prizes. Accord ing to Bonnie Weekly, one of the booth chairmen, the girls have IS cars to wash, coke-dates with ap-1 proximately 50 fellows and num erous floors to scrub and dishes to wash Loomis hall girl has audiences "bean shooting" their way to Estes Park. Farm House went electrical; both participants shot for a campus-walker and sent an electrical shock through an FH man. Toss ing rings at the "Amicutie Cow" was the fete in the Amikita booth, "This Ami-cutie Went to Cow College." Ag Men Use Horse Tank A tank filled with cold water (was used in the Ag Men's booth. Upon ringing the bell by throw ing a ball, an Ag Man fell into the horse tank. AGR booth attendants, upon hitting the mark in their booth, threw eggs at an AGR dressed hill billy style. In addition to carnival booths, Charles Malik, the Lebanon dele gate, said "we may lost the mill tary battle, but we must win the moral battle." he says Malik feels that eventually the Arab bloc will go with the U. S. because of influence of such institutions as the University of Lebanon, estab lished by the U.S. The U.S. has two objectives in the U.N. Dr. Sorenson told the audience, working to strengthen the UN and working through the UN. Research Data Prior to Dr. Sorenson's talk, Don Knudzen gave information about finding research material pertaining to particular nations. This is available at the library. Nominations for chairman of the two sub committees at the spring conference, a model politi cal committee, must be submitted to the NUCWA box, Union base ment, by 5 p.m., Tueseday. Doris Carlson, spring confer ence chairman, announced that each delegation may nominate a person for each chairmanship. The candidate receiving the sec ond highest votes will be vice chairman. Chairman will be elected at the meeting Thursday. managed to get near the farmer and rancher viewpoints also. He traveled 8,000 miles on the is land of Australia alone, 5,000 of these miles by auto. It was on these inland tours that Baker encountered the grassroots of the "down under" country's agricultural problems. Baker said the leading limiting factor of these farmers is mois ture. About one-third of the entire country of Australia re ceives no effective rainfall. Sec ond to rainfall m the rural areas is the problem of soil fertility. Politically, he said, Australia and New Zealand lean toward the United States. They have refused to recognize communist China as the rightful holder of China's U.N. seat. New Zea nd's foreign minister also has pledged support to all VS. pol icy, he said. Our Problems, Too The agricultural problems of these countries are our problems also, Baker remarked. Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States are the only coun tries with any power in the Pa cific area at this time, said Baker. As a further comparison with this country, Baker cited that the labor party in Australia is against universal military train ing. But, if the present crisis in Korea continues, Australia is preparing to back the United States all the way. Australia, he said, can remem ber 1941 when they were wide open to Japanese Invasion. They credit U.S. troops as the in fluence that saved them. So, the doctor said, we have much reason to learn more about these international friends of ours. Baker will show colored slides as illustrative material j DAILY NEBRASKAN Cards, Relaxation, Offered at Union Singerst there is always "Ye Olde Fashioned Christmas" party. Orchestra Concert Come November, the Univer sity Orchestra dusts off its in struments in preparation for their first concert of the season. Added attraction an engaged soloists. Last year it was Ossy Renardy, the violinist. When spring begins to show its face upon the scene the orchestra comes back for a repeat perfor mance. This features strictly the students comprising the group. This organization, your Union, comes through regulary with a steady stream of co-sponsored carnival goes danced to record music, saw "Woody Woopecker" movies and threw confetti on their friends. YW coeds, dressed in dark shorts and white blouses, sold candy, popcorn, gum and ice cream bars to the audience. All money earned at this YM YW sponsored event will be used to finance students to Estes, the regional conference at Estes Park. According to Eleanor Erick son and Dick Monson, co-chairmen of the event, this year's carnival netted more profits than ever before. French Club Will Hear Lab Program A French program broadcast from Belgian Congo can be heard by University students at the French lab Tuesday at 7:45 p. m. The program, "La Voix de la Concorde," is being broadcast es pecially for the department of ro mance languages, from Leopolds ville, Belgian Congo, Station OTC. French students missing the di rect broadcast, which can be heard on the lab's earphones, can listen to the program later in the week. The program wil be re corded so students may listen to it during their regular weekly lab period. The French lab is on the third floor of Burnett hall. According to Dr. Charles Col- man, head of the romance lan guages department, the broadcast in the French language, will probably consist of a play. The station sponsors a radio club "Entre Amis," (among friends) for the purpose of fur thering international friendship and good will. The club in turn sponsors a subdivision of pen-pals, a stamp collectors club and a club for amateur photographers. Correspondence between mem bers is encouraged. Answers to letters sent to the club at Leop aldsville are broadcast in a week ly program beamed to the United States and Canada on Thursdays at 7:45 p. m. Membership in "Entre Amis" costs $1 to be sent by internation al money order to Entre Amis, in care of "La Voix de la Concorde, B. P. 505, Leopoldsville, Congo Beige. The live broadcast to be given Tuesday night was arranged by Dr. Colman. Students may meet at the lab at 7:30 p. m. RCCU to Give Prologue For Meeting Florence Nightengale, Anri Dunant and Clara Barton will come to life for twelve minutes Monday night. These three will have a special message lor tne members of the state-wide Red Cross drive. Chairmen for the districts of the fund campaign will view these historic figures in a program pre sented by the Red Cross College Unit at a banquet Monday, March 12 in the Cornhusker hotel. The program consists of a prologue prepared by the national college group for the conference in De troit last summer. Gene Berg was Dairy Meeting Continues at NU Dairymen attending the second day's session of the dairy indus try conference at the University today discussed standards of Grade A production and ways to dispose of surplus milk, . C. J. Babcock of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture, principal speaker of the day, discussed standards of grade A milk for use in the manufacture of dairy pro ducts. Chancellor R. G. Gustav son of the University presented a popularized scientific outline of "Milk What is It?" R. H. Loder and E. D. Lyman, directors of the Lancaster and Douglas county health depsrt ment respectively, discussed oper ation under a grade A milk ordin ance. Ardith Von Housen, director of the Omaha dairy council, told the group of ways to increase the de mand for milk. Participating in the discussion on the topic were John Bay, M. D. Graham and S. McChesney, all of Lincoln. C. D. Dahle, professor of dairy manufacturing at Pennsylvania State college, spoke on "Cheese Possibilities in Disposing of Sur plus Milk." C. F. Weinrich of Chicago, discussed the efficient operation of the milk plant. The "dairy industry conference continues through Friday. Ice cream manufacturing will be the main emphasis Thursday. Butter and cream grading will be stressed Friday. A banquet is scheduled for Thursday evening where Mr. Babcock will be prin cipal speaker. 1 dances, juke box flings, convoca tions featuring well-known per sonalities, panel discussions on timely subjects and faculty re citals. On Sundays, union members can also plan on afternoon coffee hours and free evening movies. "Sleeper" films are shown once a week from four to six in the lounge timed for tired workers. Old Times Return Since the movies demand has been unceasing, this union also attempts to appeal with old-time pictures on "Flicker Nights" and sports films on Wednesday after noons during the seasons. Then too, the time to frequent the Crib is when student mu sicions decide to concertize be bop. The Crib has an annex or did you know? However, it's only in operation once a week in Parlors ABC or XYZ cabaret style, complete with juke box music. Hear this! There's much more to college that just plain old book learning. It is possible to absorb an extra art or trade if you claim membership to the Union. Numbering among these things are canasta lessons, tutoring on bridge, details on dancing (social or square) and block printing, figurine painting or leather work ing in the craft shop. Knowledge Tested After becoming adept at some branch of this work, this organ ization offers its members the chance to test the knowledge gained in canasta, bridge and table tennis tournaments. Always encouraging get-togethers for its members, the Un ion conducts a talent show every fall, "Pigskin Parties" during football season, the Frosh Hop and for relaxation during final weeks, "Exams in Unionology." Appealing to the esthetic en thusiasts in the crowd, the picture lending library, the Book Nook, the music room and an artist series, consisting of three or more subscription events, are always available. After all this, do you doubt that you belong to a union? You shouldn't. What's more, the Union belongs to you. Eager for News Experience? 'Rag' Seeks Talented 'Cubs' By Don Pieper If you have any ability at writing news, why not come work for The Daily Nebraskan? "Rag" uporters need not be journalism students, although this training has come to be con sidered handy. All that is really essential for "Rag" work is a seri out attitude and a reasonable familiarity with the English lan guage. A record of reporters' stories is kept by the staff and they are criticibed and judged accord ingly. Every week a list is made up of the best news stories and features which is sent to the "Pub" board. This group nomin ates the best stories of the week written by reporters.

Just listen to nice people' on the street talking about other nice people saymg, "What a nice guy: or "What a nice girl!" This story is not about all these nice people because since everyone has dis covered that everyone else is nice,, everyone decided he must change and become an individual. Binkle Borrowsome is just one of these individuals. He has changed. When Binkle was a lit tle boy. his mother said, "Blin kle." Binkle answered. "Yes. moth er." Mother said, "Whatever you do in the world, remember to treat other people like they treat you." Binkled answered, "Yes, Moth er." Tarnished Rule' Ever since, Binkle has lived by this "Tarnished Rule." Several years ago however, Binkle came to the University. He learned to read. Binkle began to read every thing. He read "No Smoking" signs in busses, "Keep off the grass" signs in yards. Cornshucks and "Rag," and finally a book called "How to Lose Friends and Influence People Against You." From this book, (since Binkle only managed to read the first chapter or so), Binkle learned one little way in which he could make people dislike him without hurt ing their feelings. Later chapters dealt with more despotic and communistic methods. 'Borrow And Be Barred' The chapter was entitled, "Bor row and Be Barred from Society." It told Binkle that instead of buying his own paper and pen cils, his own cigarettes or his own cokes, he would borrow either the item or the money to buy the item. Binkle was overjoyed. At last he could be different. He would borrow things so people would hate him and go down back streets if they saw his pointed lit tle head coming their way. In stead of always having students greet him on the street with the overworked and conventional phrase. "Hi! How are you?", ex- friends would run up to him. pin his arms behind his back and ask working in the basement of the Union with the cheerful staff of The Daily Nebraskan. Perhaps the most prominent of which is the satisfaction of having your efforts printed. Among the other advantages, is the thrill of meeting interesting people. "Rag" reporters are sent to interview the owners of all the fabulous names that are read in the news, from Bob Reynolds to Chancellor Gustavson. If the prospective reporter does happen to be interested in journ alism for a career, the experience derived from hours spent creat ing a campus newspaper are in valuable. If, per chance, a Joseph Pulit zer is found among aspiring re porters, he has a great chance for advancement. Who knows, maybe someone will see this plea for help, come down and become editor. Such heights of social dis tinction can not be realized in any other way. The staffs desire for additional help in publishing the paper is sincere and the benefits to stu dents answering this call numerous. are Hill Seeks Lists For Honors Day All University honorary organ izations that desire to have mem bership lists checked for inclusion in the Honors Convocation pro gram, April 24, must turn in those lists by Monday, April 2. Roscoe P. Hill, chairman of the Honors convocation committee, said that the lists should be sent to Dean T. J. Thompson's office. Each list should give the names of all members who have been in the University either the first or second semester of the current year. J. Pan!

"Binkle could really be an indi vidual. He would show those nice people. Monday morning, Binkle's his tory teacher announced that the class would be given a six week's exam. Binkle was aghast. He hadn't studied all semester. One reason of course, was that he had just learned to read and up to now he hadn't any use for a his tory text. The rrice little blonde sitting next to him. studied. He could tell because she wore glasses. Binkle decided she must therefore have a history book and that was what he wanted to borrow. "Miss Ecin (which is nice back wards), may I borrow your text to study for the exam?" 'Miss Ecin Consents The nice little girl nodded and Binkle gratefully and gleefully accepted the book. He dashed back to the house to study. He read and read and read and read. At 6 a m., Binkle went to bed and slept so he would be ready for his 9 a.m. history test. In class, Binkle wrote like fuiy and wrote down all the memorized phrase which he had learned during the night. The nice little girl wrote, too, but it didn't seem as if she was doing as well as Binkle, the individual ist. After the test. Binkle and the little girl, walked out of class to gether. She finally asked. "May I have my book back this after noon so I can study?" Book Never Returned Binkle smiled friendishly. "Cer tainly, Miss Ecin (which is nice spelled backward)." The next class period passed. The class period after that passed. The class period after the class period passed. Binkle did not re turn the book. He was really making points with the nice lit tle girl. The semester ended. Binkle had three history text books which he had borrowed from nice little girls. Three nice little girls flunked the final exam because they hadn't any text book to study from. Three nice little girls intensely disliked Binkle Borrow some. They weren't the only ones.
