THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Editorial Comment
'Grow Like Corn'
An event of considerable Importance to the
growth and development of the Ag college stu
dent government occurred Wednesday night. At
that time, representatives from every slice of Ag
student opinion had the opportunity to talk over
and pass a proposed amendment to the Ag Exec
board constitution.
The move leaves wide open the opportunity for
Ag executive board to okay the amendment and
allow it to appear on the ballot of a spring election.
This amendment, in brief, cuts short the all
campus election and provides each organization on
Ag campus conforming to a minimum requirement
a representative to the campus governing body. The
only restrictions are ratification by the dean, meet- 1 he tiag dOngr(ltlll(lteS
ing once a monm aunng ine scnooi year ana Having
ten members. An additional representative, under
the proposal, would be granted those clubs having
an added 50 members.
It is estimated that around 20 students will com
pose the board under the new plan. That means
two holdovers, at least three women, nine men;
and the rest may be either men or women. There
is only one club on Ag campus today that is eligible
to furnish two of these delegates. Also, a guaran
teed ratio of male and female members in propor
tion to the ratio of students enrolled in Ag college
is proposed under the new council system.
The idea Is basically sound, and is justified by
the popular approval students have given the
measure so far.
The prime reason for change is to build more
tudent interest in a more unified campus. There
would be no greater reason for the renovation than
the opportunity for direct contact with the student
body. It would act as a pipeline, to carry informa
tion from the governing body to the independent
organizations, and back. According to the original
proposal by Dr. C. E. Rhoad, former instructor in
vocational agriculture, "there will be more chance
for leadership to develop and less probability for
political domination by one group" under the new
plan.
The new council and the Ag Union would spon
sor the majority of college activities. This includes:
Farmers Formal, Coll-Agri-Fun night, the Christ
ma; Party, the Ag College spring picnic and Farm
ers' Fair.
We look for bigger things on Ag Campus. Their
new plan has been tested and proved in many
Universities across the nation. One University, in
fact, formed a sort of consumers' co-operative in
the sense of all clubs collectively buying their sup
plies through a committee from the governing
body. Reports from other schools also tell of more
leadership sprouting up under the organizational
representation system. The number of students
aware of campus legislative problems probably will
at least double on Ag campus if the new system
passes at spring election.
Looks like the country boy (and girl) is giving
his campus, and I quote the Farm and Fireside,
"The chance to grow like a stalk of corn on a hot
June night after a shower." d.w.

Thanks to a Junior Division
sponsored project, two Univer
sity students have increased their
reading speed from 400 to 1000
words a minute, and several oth
ers have gone from speeds of 200
words to more than 600
Early this semester they started
attending the Remedial Reading
lab, which meets three hours a
week, and putting in an addition
al hour and a half of practice
on a machine called a reading
rate accelerator. (Persons using
the accelerator are forced to read
faster than they would ordinarily
read, until rapid reading be
comes a habit.)
All students who went to the
lab regularly made gains in
reading speed without sacrificing
comprehension. Many of them
reported that the training has
helped them study faster and
more efficiently, and has made
it easier to organize their work.
Similar labs, which will run
from the week of April 9 through
the week of May 18, are now be
ing organized. Students interest
ed in enrolling should make ar
rangements this week with the
Junior Division in Temporary
Building A. One section of the
lab meets from 4 to 5 p.m., on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday,
and the other from 11 to 12 a.m.,
Tuesday Thursday and Saturday.
Besides practicing on the read
ing rate accelerator, students use
the tichistoscope a machine
which trains the eye to recognize
numbers and words flashed
briefly.
A study habits lab will also be
organized. One section will meet
from 9 to 10 a.m. on Monday and
Wednesday, and the other from
4 to 5 p.m. on Tuesday and
Thursday.
States already has
been made measurably safer.
This statement was made last
week bv Charles E. Wilson, di
rector the Office of Defense
Mobilization.
In a report to President Tru
man, Wilson stated that by 1953,
our readiness to enter upon total
mobilization should be sufficient
and production should support a
civilian ' economy at or above
pre-Korean levels.
Wilson gave perhaps the most
revealing comprehensive picture
of the modern weapons in pro
duction that has come from any
government official.
This included:
Tanks 60 per cent more pow
erful and 50 per cent faster than
World War II jobs, and mount
ing more powerful and accurate
guns.
The B-36 bomber with its 10-
thousand-mile range, and the jet
propelled B-47 with its six-hun
dred-mile -an-hour operating
speed.
Modern jet fighters, the new
3.5-inch rocket launcher, new
high speed torpedoes, and the
105-millimeter recoil ess rifle
which fires 10 aimed shots a
minute with a range of 8,500
yards.
Troops-to-Europe Passed
The troops-to-Europe resolu
tion was approved by a Senate
roll call vote of 69 to 21.
The bill endorsed administra
tion plans to put four additional
divisions, 100 thousand men, in
to the international army being
organized by Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower to defend the nations
of the North Atlantic Treaty.
Two divisions in Europe al
ready have been assigned to him.
The resolution included a
clause which stated the President
could not send additional rein
forcements without further con
gressional approval.
Bil to Alert Troops
American troops will be alert
ed within a few days for trans
portation to Europe as a result
of the passage of the troops-to-Europe
resolution.
The fourth infantry division at
Ft. Benning, Ga. will be ordered
to be ready to start moving with
in a month. The Second armor
ed at Ft. Hood, Tex. will follow
in another month. They will be
joined in late summer and early
fall by two other national guard
divisions, all infantry, in federal
service in this country.
Warner Angers Senators
Lieut. Gov. Charles J. Warner
angered senators last week by
vetoing Legislative Bill 1, which
would create a state division of
wheat utilization and development.
Taking advantage of his tem
porary position of power while
Governor Peterson traveled to
Peoria, 111. for a radio broadcast,
the lieutenant governor brought
blistering attacks on himself by
western Nebraska state senators
who had vigorously backed the
bill.
State Senator Arthur Carmody
who introduced the bill, said the
lobby activities of the lieutenant
governor should be called to tne
attention of the people. The sen
ator will seek a ballot to over
ride the veto. ,
Vinson Supports UMT
Chairman Vinson of the armed
services committee urged x the
house to enact a combination
draft-universal training law to
give this country "the steel"
Russia will respect.
Chairman Vinson pleaded with
the house not to eliminate long
range UMT provisions from the
bill to extend the draft law and
lower the induction age from 19
to 18Ms.
The senate has already ap
proved a bill which would per
mit drafting 18-year-olds for up
to 26 months of service and
establish machinery for a long
range universal military training
program.
Senate action came March 9.
The house will begin voting next
week.
Individualistic University Coeds Choose
Fashions, Beans to Suit Own Tastes
Dearie, do you remember when I mentioned the
Harvard Lampoon "award" given to Elizabeth
Taylor for being the most objectionable ingenue
on the screen. Well, I have discovered some more
material concerning these "Roscoe" awards, the
backhanded Oscars.
The Syracuse Daily Orange wrote it, ana I
quote it:
Most Depressing Discovery: Faith Domergue.
Least Likely to Succeed: Cecile Aubrey.
Worst Duo: Esther Williams and Van Johnson,
alone, together, or in any combination.
Most Objectionable Movie Children: Elizabeth
Taylor and Dean Stockwell and of course,
Most Objectionable Ingenue: Elizabeth Taylor.
I hate to disagree with the Harvard Lampoon,
but in some cases, my "favorites" don't agree with
theirs. What do you think?
The Iowa State Daily had a headline that just
made me wonder. The headline read: "H. Ec Ma
jor becomes Father." The article pointed out that
"this is the first time such a thing has appened to
the gentleman in question, "as well as to Iowa
State.
ine young man is talcing home ec as a major
because he plans to become a hotel or restaurant
manager.

"Hash."
by Jane Randall
If opposites attract, NU must
be a magnet.
True, any university draws a
cross section of students with a
diversity of opinion and wide va
riety of ideas.
However, it seems as though the
women here at the University
have a few of their own ideas
in a way alike and in a way op
posite. They seem to have a sameness
of attitude when it comes to
trends. Whether it be a question
of wearing the hair short or long,
of hitching hemlines up or letting
them fall, or in their daring
choices "Mr. Ugly" or the foot
ball hero, they triumphantly
shout, "Let us do what we want
to we will anyway!"
Thus, they are an independent
lot What's more, this is exactly
the way they differ.
Paris Fashions
Hair style seems to make little
difference to the Nebraska coed,
as far as Paris, London or New
York are concerned. She picks
the coiffure that best fits her per
sonality, her face shape and her
boy friend's taste( the last requi
site is sometimes doubtful).
For these reasons, anything
from the flowing curly ring-a-lets
of Goldilocks to the bun com
plete with "rat" goes. For a lit
tle spice, it would also be legal to
throw in a few braids and "Bob
bie" crewcuts here and there.
Like the reversion to the short
haircut, fashion experts say that
skirt lengths are coming up with
the prices instead of going down.
Again, regardless of what "Dame
Fashion" predicts, girls here at the
University use their own discre
tion. If they like 'em long, they wear
'em that way. If they choose to
turn the tables and "up" the inch
anti from the floor, so be it!
According to Height
Again, they seem to feel that
personal type has a great deal to
do with it. Height should be the
judge as to where the hemline
hangs.
Jumping now from hemlines to
prediction lines, the coed at Ne
braska has fouled up the most re
cent one about men.
According to "Life" and the re
cent comments of Columnist Rob
ert Ruark, "Common - garden
UCLA Exec Council Fights
With Daily Publication Staff
The Bruin, University of Cali
fornia at Los Angeles, has been
putting out papers the last two
months without an editor. Thp
candidate who had been endorsed
by the paper's news staff was re
fused the editorship by UCLA's
Student Executive Council (SEC).
The SEC also turned down the
staff-endorsed candidate for fea
ture editor. Finally the Council
appointed a veteran reporter for
the Bruin as editor. Later they
gave the position of feature editor
to a newcomer who had never be
fore worked on the staff but ap
plied for editorship when he
heard that the SEC had thrown
the race open.
When this was done, the new
ly appointed editor promptly re
signed, saying. "I refuse to work
on a paper when someone who
has never been a member of the
staff has been put into a top pos
ition by SEC ... I felt we had
compromised a great deal since
this affair began, and this is
about the last straw."
After the issuing of the state
ment the entire news staff per
sonnel also resigned. The paper
is now being put out by SEC, un
til a permanent editor can be ap
pointed. The SECs chief objections to
the original staff seemed to con
sist of the following:
Chief Objections
1. The Daily Bruin did not go
ahead with SEC's recommended
changes in internal policy. The
biggest change concerned a cub
training program.
2. The Bruin's choice for fea
ture editor was not a good one
The candidate was a member of
A YD (considered a Communist
front group) and SEC feared he
would not be able to put out "an
objective feature page."

Scientists at the University
College, of Agriculture and other
midwest states have started a
three-pronged attack to combat
race 15B stem rust.
Plant pathologists are working
on the new idea of chemotherapy,
which means spraying a chemi
cal on plants to make them resis
tant to the disease. Scientists
are trying many chemicals in or
der to find the best or combina
tion of the best. Idea is that the
chemical is absorbed by the plant
to immunize it against the race
of rust.
Plant breeders are stepping up
their program of developing new
varieties which would be resis
tant to race 1SB. Other scientists
are concentrating on eradication
of barberry bushes which harbor
the spore of the rust.
All of the scientists call the
three forms of attack important
j in the rust control program. They
say race 15B could cause untold
loss in the wheat crop if allowed
to go unchecked.
Meanwhile, specialists say these
recommendations for wheat grow
ers are important:
Don't change wheat varieties
Knwaer, Tam Biaek; because of the rust problem.

Scheming Ferns Often Fuse
Meaning of Love, Fascination
"I'm in love!"
How many times a week is that
statement heard around the cam
pus? And how many times does
that statement apply to infatu
ation instead of love?
According to the results of a
survey made by a leading psy
chologist in an Eastern university,
you'd better think twice before
making any rash statements.
Take Bessy Boisterous, for in
stance. Bessy is always the life of
the party in any crowd. In fact,
she has gotten so used to being
the limelight that she is getting
envious of the constant attention
her pinmate gets from his witty
jokes. Bessy is very devoted to
her "steady flame," but she some
times feels like hitting him over
the head with a brick-bat when
he cracks a good joke. Is this love
or is Bessy just "used to having
him around?"
Sally Self-Confidence is an
other good example. Sally has
the reputation of having more "in
testinal fortitude" than ten other
coeds put together. She even went
so far as to throw a rotten to
mato at the back of her ec tea
cher's neck one day when he was
writing on the board.
But Sally, with all her nerve,
is reluctant to introduce her cur
rent hearthrob to her friends and
relatives. Her explanation of this
is that they wouldn't like him as
much as she does or thinks she
does!
And still another case is Mary
Money-Mad. Mary is the type of
girl who reads nothing in the
paper except the stock market
prices with an occasional glance
at the society column to see if her
best friend is Inviting more mil
lionaires to her party than were
at Mary's. And Mary is really In
love with Bob!
Why look at everything he
has! Seven Cadillacs, three sum
mer homes, and three television
sets. Besides that, he is the
smoothest dresser on campus with
his 50 tailor-made suits and his
85 pairs of sports shoes.
What does It matter if he has ul
cers, tuberculosis, heart trouble,
and is so anemic he has to go to
bed every week-end night at 8:30
p. m.? Look at all his other as
sets! He doesn't drink, smcke, lie,
cuss, tell shady jokes, get angry,
Jealous, or sarcastic in fact he
really doesn't talk much. And
with dollar signs in her eyes,
Mary goes on to tell more.
The psychologist, after inter
viewing both the married and un
married men and women, con
cluded that almost all "first love"
is infatuation. Genuine love has
none of the excitement of infatu
ation, but you like the person in
a quieter way.
Is it really love? The psycholo
gist claims this is one of the best
tests: If you need a lively bridge
game or a gay night club to keep
you from being bored with one
another, you'd better call it quits
before you're "bored" with life in
general. But if you're never bored
with each other's company and
you like to be with each other no
matter where you go, that's it!
That's love!
males, who are either too skinny
or too fat, who squint through
horn-rimmed glasses and whose
crew haircuts look 'as if the own
er's head had just been browsed
by an undecided sheep,' have
never had it so good."
Own Specialty
That was their observation of
men in the entertainment field.
The occupation, however, seems to
be a specialty with most of them,
whether it be part time or full
time. At least, the idea conforms
with one of the popular feminine
schools of thought at the Univer
sity. As a result, the Nebraska coed,
looks for a date who is good for
laughs and at the same time has
a half-way decent personality,
bolstered up with some degree of
intelligence (it ranges from ten
below to 212 above). Looks rate
second on the list.
If he meets the first two re
quirements and is a Beau Bnim-mel-Clark
Gable, fine. However,
if he passes the "good date" test,
he's still an eligible prospect.
Proof bears this out. "Hand
some Harry" and the University
"UMOC" run up dating scores
that are on a fairly even par. On
the other hand, whether he be
PBK or Innocent, the "big brain
block-buster" or the campus big
wheel, he still rates. i
"Each to her own taste!" comes j
the insistent battle cry of defense
from "Empty Head" and "Sharp
Sue" alike. i
To this repartee, we the ob
servers can only shake our heads
indifferently and think to our
selves, "How true how true!"
Tanks Over 38th
Monday, tank-tipped U. S. pa
trols shot their way north of Ko
rea's 38th parallel through Chin
ese rear guards screening a big
communist build-up.
One tank patrol northeast of
Seoul penetrated at least two
miles beyond the parallel into
miles beyond the parallel into
communist North Korea before
returning to the main American
lines just south of the pre-war
frontier.
Tuesday, U. S. forces surged
across the 38th parallel in 'a de
fiant challenge to more than a
half-million reds massing for a
spring counter-offensive.
In western Korea, strong con
tingents of an American division
swept across the pre-war fron
tier on a ten-mile front abova
Seoul. On the east coast, the
South Korean capital division
extended its bridgehead to com
munist homeland more than 15
miles.
Wednesday, an allied task
force drove four miles north of
the Red Korean border against
heavy resistance.
Another force punched two
miles into the Yongpyong area
of Red Korea.
Thursday, U. S. tanks and in
fantry stabbed eight miles north
of Korea's 38th parallel toward
the heart of communist offen
sive build-up of 500 thousand
troops.
But Friday, Chinese commun
ist troops in west-central Korea
halted the U.N. northward ad
vancement with fanatical resist
ance. The communists, holed up in
eight huge bunkers on the crest
of a hill in the center of the
front, beat off repeated Ameri
can attacks with mortar, ma
chine gun and rifle fire.
Resistance was spotty else
where along the 38th parallel.
In many places the attacking
Yanks moved up to their objec
tives early- in the morning and
dug in for the night without a
fight.
