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

troops from Korea," to the ma
jority resolution, but the amend

Mary Lou Luther, United States

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.

"As far as our 18 Chinese stu

after 16 Chinese students at the

felt that a forced return to their

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.

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.
