All Students Welcome
At Junior-Senior Affair
It may be Friday the 13th, but
it won't keep members of the
junior and senior classes from
locking horns in their first an
nual class day competition, start
ing at 2:30 p.m.
According to Aaron Schmidt,
chairman of the affair, plans for
egg throwing, sack-racing, three
legged running and Softball games
are in progress and "every student
in the University is urged to join
in the fun."
The afternoon contests will not
conclude the day's activities in
Chinese Open
Flood Gates
To Stop Allies
After opening the flood gaces
of the huge Hwachon reservoir
in a futile attempt to delay the
allied invasion of North Korea
the Chinese reds abandoned
their Hwachon stronghold.
Ignoring the threat of floods,
the pursuing U. S. forces reached
the southwest side of the reser
voir. In abandoning the Hwachon,
the third largest reservoir in
Korea, the reds gave up their best
defensive position in central
Korea.
UN officers were confident that
none of the American, French,
T -, or South Korean troops in
the area would be trapped. UN
c ...o buiu thai ine tem
po ary floods might hamper but
would not seriously affect the al
lied march north of the 38th
parallel.
In the meanwhile Chinese
foi'ces were reported moving
south out of Hwachon itself, four
miles west oi the reservoir and
seven miles above the 38th paral
lel, fro what may be the start
of the long-expected red counter
ouensive. Attacking the area southwest of
Inje ran into heavy communist
read-guard resistance. The Eighth
army rolled deeper, into the en
emy homeland without opposition.
RUSSIA BUILDING
UP TROOPS-RAYBURN
"We are in terrible danger"
because Russia is building up
troop concentrations "in a great
many places." So stated Sam Ray
burn, Washington speaker, after a
talk with President Truman.
i tie White House declined to
discuss the Rayburn statement.
FLOOD DAMAGE
MORE THAN $1 MILLION
Floods drove 10,000 persons in
Minnesota and Iowa from their
homes in the upper midwest.
The hardest hit spot in the en
tire flood region was Mankato, j
Minn., and the adjoining towns
of west and north Mankato,
where 5,200 persons were home
"
less.
Flood damage in the Mankato
area was expected to total more
th n $1 million.
I'h'r (orecasters believe the
river at Mankato had reached its
c. w-t, and doubted that the flood
would get much worse.

It Happened at NU
The bell rang and the class
quieted down.
The instructor took his place
at the head of the class and
took roll. Then, looking up as
he was going to lecture about,
asked the class if anyone had
heard the eight o clock news
broadcast before they had left.
No one had.
Then the instructor let loose.
The "United States has declared
war on Russia."'
The entire classroom was si
lent. Everyone looked at each
other. Could it be true?
Seeing the students so con
cerned over his statement, the
instructor retaliated, "Stalin
criticized Margaret Truman."

initiation fees are being charged
by 24 honoraries and professional
groups on the Nebraska campus.
But according to Sharon Fritz
ler, of the student activities com
mittee conducting the queries,
the above comment was by no
means typical of the 13 replies
received from the national offices
which received large portions of
the high fees.
Some Letters Evasive
Miss Fritzler stated that eight
of the return letters were "fav
orable, while five were rather
evasive and unfavorable."
She added that those "favor
able" ones were quite complete
and helpful in citing the "full
information."
The Council in its letters to tne
national office of the 13 groups
asked for a precise report of the
amount of funds that those
offices received. Such informa
tion as the amount of funds des
tined for the individuals own
welfare and the local chapter's
treasury.
'For Student Welfare'
Miss Fritzler stated that the
letters were not sent in "merely
an investigative, curious move,
but in an effort to see that the
students' welfare was not en
dangered." "While it is not within the
power of the Student Council to
! alter anV Imitation fee payment
I to tne national offices, the Coun
cil reserves the right to deny the
organization on this campus ro
any honorary which it believes
charges an exorbitant fee," added
Miss Fritzler.
Letters also have been sent to
the local chapters asking for a
formal report on amounts charge
for dues and fees. Also the letters
asked for "a report of benefits re
ceived in return for the fees.
Council Letter
The letter stated, "TMe atten
tion of the Student Council hs
recently been focused upon the
various honoraries, scholastic,
professional and otherwise, which
exist upon the campus. From
University students have come
complaints that many honoraries
fail to state the cost of member
ship at the time they ask pro
spective members to join."
Therefore, the letter asked that
sample copy of the letter to pro
spective plodces state the costi
of membership due May 7.
Miss Fritzler pointed out that
those groups which received the
largest portions of the initiation
fees were the most uncooperative
in their letters of reply.
Democratic Rights
One letter said, "I am a bit sur
prised that your Student Council
would ask each fraternity to re
port to you as to what they do
with the money paid into the
national treasury. It would seem
that in a democracy that the stu
dent representatives of the var
ious chapters would have the
right to make their own disposi
tion of the expenditures of these
funds.
A "more favorable" letter read,
"I admire your interest in stu
dent welfare and wish you suc
cess in all of the objectives of
your Student Council. If our
office may cooperate fur.lier nt
any time, we sincerely wish to
do it."
national fee is used.
Indifference Known
In contrast, another group
charging one of the highest nat-
ional fees replied with relative
Indifference to the Council ques
tioning. In the letter, the group' secre
tary said, ". . .1 Inclose a booklet
which explains the difference
.between honorary professional
and social fraternities, which you
may find of some Interest."
