In view of the forthcoming sessions of the United Nations political committee at the Union, April 3, 4, 5 and 6, the Indian delegation wishes to state its posi tion relative to the Korean situa tion. At no time since the outbreak of hostilities has there been a more pressing need for vigorous, positive action to resolve that con flict in a peaceful yet un-biased manner. A refusal on the part of the political committee to take such action will eventuate in al most immediate global war and international chaos. We are con vinced that: 1. The United States is injecting its own narrow brand of chauvin istic imperialism into the conduct of United Nations operations in Korea. A die-hard American mili tarist is a virtual dictator of U.N. policies at the front, and by his actions and ill-timed remarks is, possibly unwittingly, subverting the stated aims and objectives of the peace loving United Nations. The United States is apparently loath to press for anything but a purely military conquest in Korea at a time when a political soution is a necessity. 1. The Soviet Union, dominated by the bigots in the Kremlin likewise is acting in poor faith m Korea. By its tacit supports both morally and militarily, of the Peiping and North Korean gov ernments it has inspired and per petuated a bitter fratricidal war among the peoples of Korea. With a stoicism worthy of the Dei Bud dha, the leaders in the Kremlin have refused to compromise or concede anything which might hinder their military power. In Korea we are at last seeing the ugly bared fangs of aggressive, militant international Commu nism bent on world domination. The time has arrived when it is the duty of the oppressed and under-fed peoples of Asia and the rest of the world to unite in de manding that this wholly alien East-West blood bath in Korea be brought to an immediate conclu sion, and that the Korean people be rehabilitated so that they may take their place among us as a truly UNITED NATION.

Street Floor 1 ii II v T r II Ever complain about the old structures where classes are still being held, at apparent peril to life and limb? And none of us like the way the quadrangle looks, with the temporary buildings and a battered student building standing in the middle of it. The need for new and larger build ings bat been obvious to us alL It seems that since we have all taken It upon ourtelvei to come to college, that the college could at least welcome us with new and permanent buildings and spacious facilities. The fact that our school administrators are set tled in a building that is creaking to its founda tion is in itself indicative of the facilities of our school. The whole problem seems to stem from one cause: not enough money. When parents send their children to college, their usual reason is to further the education of their offspring. They pay the bills and expect a reasonable return from their investment. But they do iA do enough! The people f toe slate not seem to realise that, for s small additional Investment, their re turns could be increased Buuoy times. It is true that earnings are higher now than at ny time in the past in Nebraska. So are taxes. But the future of the country lies, as has been said times without number, with the youth of the country. It is the duty of the older generation to prepare the youth in the best way possible for their tour of duty. College "kids' are more mature now than ever before. Perhaps as a reflection of the times, they more willingly accept the responsibilities that are thrown to them. But they, must be more ade quately prepared to discharge these duties. The University steeds more money. There are tnaay problems t be Investigated, questions be answered, swlvtions te be found. For this work, the Cnrrersity seeds Increased facilities, mere equipment, new buildings. There is nly one place from which the money can come. Taxes are already high enough, but there should be increased appropriations for edu cational purposes la general and for the Uni versity in particular. The waste of the mature, experienced minds of the faculty and of the eager. Inquisitive minds of the student body should prey upon the people just as the waste of their other natural resources irritates them. Maybe this would be one way to keep the young people in the state.
