Calm Before Storms Lied CI model UN mm, erne No! That was the answer given by the U.N. model assembly to the applications of Spain and the People's Republic of China for ad mission to that body. Meeting In the Union ballorom, the Thursday session of the as sembly voted against admitting both nations following charges and counter-charges by repre sentatives of the Eastern and Western blocs. Russia supported the admission of China and op posed the admission of Spain, The United States took the op posite stand on both questoins. Charles Gomon, representating the United Kingdom, read the ma jority resolution which denied the People's Republic of China the seat in the United Nutlons now held by the Chinese nationalists. Minority Resolution The Indiun delegate read the minority resolution which re quested the expulsion of the Chi nese nationalists because they do not represent the people of China. Burmese delegate Ruth Soren son sought to odd the words "un til the Chinese remove their troops from Korea," to the ma jority resolution, but the amend ment was defeuted, Mary Lou Luther, United States delegiite,, spoke for the resolu tion. She said that Red China is not a good government for China, and therefore should not be al lowed a seat In he U. N. assem bly, Peace-loving Jim Tomasek. representing the Republic of the Philippines, stat ed that communist China Is not a peace-loving nation and should not be allowed admission. The second proposal that was presented In the mock meeting was: "Be It resolved that the United Nations accept Spain as a member of the United Nations." Declaring the government of Spain to be fascist and therefore not qualifying for U. N. mem ship, the Russian delegate, Jim Wamsley, urged the delegates t defeat the resolution. American Rebuttal In rebuttal, Joan Krueger, American delegate, pointed out that there wag no place in th U. N. charter that stated a fascist nation could not be a member of the organization. The final vote showed 14 against admitting Spain to tha United Nations and 13 in favor of It. Seven nations abstained. Jack Solomon was the modera tor of the proceedings. j' i'sj ..!

Bob Russcl, Kathy Cox, Senate Fight Over Troops Continues The disputable troops-to-Eu-rope issue still was as confused as ever. This despite Senate approval, 69-21, to a resolution approving the sending of four more divisions to the Western Europe defense force but asserting that President Truman should seek Congres sional approval before more troops that are sent. Mr. Truman called the Senate action "further evidence that the country stands firm in its sup port of-the North Atlantic Treaty." Senator Wherry, Republican floor leader who voted against the resolution, noted that one section carries out his demand of last January for Congress to pass on the troops issue, "The important thing, however, is that the Senate has struck a blow for preservation of the prin ciple of the Constitution that Congress, representing the peo ple is master of the military es tablishment, and not the Presi dent," said Wherry, Teh "great debate" resolution which the senate finally approved will send about 1000 thousand men to Western Europe. There they would be assigned, along with two divisions already in Europe, to the combined North Atlantic Treaty army being formed under the command of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Atom Bomb Spies Receive Death Sentence Convicted atom bomb spies Julius Rosenberg and his wife Ethel were sentenced to death. Their co-defendant, Morton So bell, who never testified in his own behalf, was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment. In sentencing the Rosenbergs, Federal Judge Irving R. Kaufman ordered them executed sometime in the week beginning May 21. The court did not specify the method of execution but stated the execution should be carried out "according to the law." Armored Column Drives 8 Miles A self-contained American ar mored column drove eight miles into North Korea ahead of ad vancing United Nations troops holding a solid 42-mile front above the 38th parallel. Dispatches described the tank column as a powerful founded force capable of pulling into its own perimeter and fighting off the enemy indefinitely without help. In its slashing drive north it was heading into the heart of the reds "iron triangle" where the bulk of an estimated 500,000 com munists are massed.

The instruc tor added that Umland was cap able of making quite a few grammatical . errors. But the student's excellent vocabulary and gift for phrasing more than made up for this early handi cap. Umland began his education here at the University as an en gineering student. But he be came annoyed with many of the requirements for his college. So he transferred to Art college. Later he acquired the same feel ing and quit school. In all, he had spent a little more than two years at the University.

"Watching the choruses re hearse their song, which are Indeed catchy tunes, I was im pressed with their progress after less than one week of rehearsals.

They are all in good standing as regards the recent order." An energetic attempt by promi nent Illinois educators to see the order abolished was oromulgated after 16 Chinese students at the University of Illinois, 12 at the University of Chicago and three at the University of Wisconsin were notified that they would not be able to remain in the U. S. Several of the Chinese students felt that a forced return to their homeland would mean "certain death or imprisonment" at the hands of the Communist regime.

World Court Participants . . . t 1 V i pv rT ;v-fA MODEL WORLD COURT A University replica of the International court of justice was held Thursday in the Union. Students of international law presented the cases and Lincoln attorneys judged the proceedings. Shown are (from 1. to Frosh, Sophomores Would Elect Officers "Class spirit is what the University of Nebraska lacks." This was the main idea of a speech made by Aaron Schmidt, president of the Senior Class, before the Student Council Wednesday. Schmidt said, "A student enrolls at the University, goes to the freshman convocation and then does not meet with his class again until fours years later at graduation." Under the present setup of class, . - - 1 - government, said Schmidt, class spirit is not encouraged until the junior and senior years Would Start With Frosh Schmidt suggested a plan for encouraging class spirit begin ning with the freshman year. He outlined a proposal that the in clude officers of the sophomore.i junior and senior classes, to be elected at an all-University election in the spring. The fresh plan, would be elected within the first month of the fall se mester. Within the first two months of the fall semester, the Stu dent Council would choose from applicants 10 students from each class to serve on their respective class councils. These councils would . work directly with the officers of the classes. More Conscious Spirit By this method of class gov ernment, said Schmidt, more people would be conscious of the class of which they are a part. Schmidt pointed out that such a system has been successful in many other colleges. He feels that .. electing officers in the freshman year would help stu dents to realize the importance of expressing their opinions at the polls and that this realiza tion would be carried through the rest of their college years. Schmidt concluded by saying that students at the end of four years under this system, auto matically should say, "I gradu ated from the University of Ne braska Class of 1951," not just "I graduated from the Univer sity of Nebraska." Functions of Councils Gene Berg, Council, member, the functions of such councils would be. Schmidt answered that he felt that there are enough capable and intelligent people in the classes to find something to keep up the spirit of a class. The officers and councils would handle affairs pertaining to an entire class. Several other members of the Council brought up the ques tion of how the system would affect the independent students. Schmidt stated that independent students would have as much chance for election to offices and appointment to the various councils as affiliated students. He pointed out that the 40 people chosen for the four coun cils would be selected by the Student Council and that there fore there could not be politics connected with the choice unless the Student Council is run by political groups. Referred to Committee The recommendation made by Schmidt was discussed by the Council and referred to the campus improvements commit tee for further consideration.

Friday, Apirl 6, 1951 AnnJ Ot fill II Discusses Amendment At a special open meeting called by Exec board Wednesday night, Carl Gerwick gave tha opening speech and presented the Ag Exec board constitutional amendment for further debate. The amendment that basically changes the method of selecting representatives to the Ag Exec board was slightly altered, add ed to and now is in form to be presented to the Ag Exec board for approval to schedule an all Ag campus election on the issue. Copies of the proposal will be circulated to all Ag students and several students are prepared to answer questions. An informal discussion and questioning ses sion is scheduled in the Ag Union Wednesday, at 4:30 p.m. Two Issues Questioned The purpose of Wednesday's meeting was to reach agree ments on two issues in question. One was the status of holdover members, the other proportional women representation to men, in the final draft of the proposed amendment. Both measures were acted on positively. The group rep resenting all Ag students decided to allow for two holdover mem bers to the new "council." They also decided to guarantee women proportional representation to men in accordance to the college proportion. If the departmental and other groups would not elected one third women this fall, granting the new measure is adopted, the number of women needed to meet that proportion would be elected by an all campus wom en's election next fall. All-Campus Election This is the only provision for an all-campus election in the new proposal that puts Ag cam pus representation to the governing body in the hands of all campus organizations meeting certain requirements. A. Representation will come from any Ag college group that will be authorized by the two faculty advisers of the Ag Exec board and the Dean of the col lege, and that meet the require ments of one meeting or more per month for the nine school months. B. Proportional representation will be granted to these groups based on the average attendance of members the preceding semester.
