Kopf, president of the men's pep organization, is a member of MacArthur Announces 'No Politics' . "I have no political aspirations whatsoever." This statement was made by Gen. Douglas MacArthur as he was cheered by half a million persons in a thunderous welcome home Wednesday morning in San Francisco. "I do not intend to run for any political office and I hope that my name Will never be used in any political way," the general said. With the address which he will deliver to a joint meeting of con gress today near completion, MacArthur rode to a civic welcome--and to the International airport: to continue his dramatic Tokyo-to-Washington flight. The general left the St. Francis hotel exactly on schedule at 9:45 .m. (p.s.t.) The city gave the general a mob-like hero's welcome Tues day night which equalled any thing in San Francisco's stormy history, MacArthur, home after 14 years that changed the history of the world, called it "over whelming." The ousted five-star general will speak on the national radio networks and appear on televis ion at 11:30 a.m. today. Allied Troops Advance .Steadily Only in the vital Hwachon dam area did the United Nations troops find opposition in their steady advance behind tank col umns thrusting deep into com munist lines. In the Hwachon area allied forces stormed across the Pukhan river and attacked rearguard reds holding hills around the dam. The allies crossed the Pukhan in the four-mile stretch between the town of Hwachon and the dam itself. They charged into an estimated 50 red troops holding the hills there and forced them to withdraw. Allied patrols reached the dam area Tuesday but were forced to withdraw under communist ma chine gun fire from the hills.

Specific complaints of the stu dents regarding the service were cited and answers to these com plaints were given by Axtell. The Council investigation stemmed from an attempt to seek an explanation for the va rious "gripes." According to Axtell, the com mittee in charge of the study conferred with Dr. Samuel I. Fuenning, Student Health direc tor, in order to determine what the facilities, services, finances and responsibilities of the center are. The committee presented the students' complaints at that time. Answers to 'Gripes' Following are some of the "gripes" and the answers sub mitted by Axtell: 1. Students desiring treatment at the center have to spend too much time waiting their turns. Answer: There are times, ad mittedly, when the student must wait much longer than he wishes to receive attention, but the same situation exists at the office of any doctor nowadays. If the physical plant were larg er and arranged more conveni ently, efficiency could be im proved. Future building plans provide for such a plant, but the temporary building will have to suffice now. 2. Students are hospitalized too often if they go to the center for treatment and examination. Answer: Any such fear on the student's part results in large part from an erroneous opinion that may be formed by some student who feels fte should "have been released from his hospital bed sooner. Glandular Fever A relative newcomer among student diseases, glandular fever, has few cures. Doctors take care to see that the patient does not po?ack-tAm'lliar lJaioor7AslJnioit- Plana TV Often patients, impatient when they are not released though they "feel good," do not realize that precaution is still necessary. 3. Students are dissatisfied with diagnosis. Answer: Such comments as "They never do anything but give me a pill and tell me to go to bed" are the result of more er (See Student Health, Fage 4) for Fine Arts there will be lectures under the direction of art faculty members. A demonstration of techniques by art instructors is the program for Friday afternoon. This will be followed by a tea given by Delta Phi Delta, art honorary.

S. faces today is not a theoretical communism but the old ruthless imperialism of czarist Russia mas querading in the trappings of an idealistic faith. Dr. Lane Lancaster, chairman of the University political science department, drove this point home in the fourth of a series of five lectures Wednesday evening at Love Library auditorium. The series is sponsored by Al pha Kappa Psi, to focus atten tion on communism as a threat to the American economy. The last in the series will be given by Gov. Val Peterson at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 25. Policy Unchanged Red Russia's political policy, Dr. Lancaster said, is the same old czarist drive to expand im perial territory, the same search for warm water ports, the old demand for control of the Dar danelles, and the same desire to create a ring of buffer states and spheres of influence. "The ancient game," he ex plained, "is only being played for higher stakes. For the old em pires have gone the German, the Turkish, the Austrian, the British and Russia faces a single rival, the United States. The real of fense of which American Com munists are guilty is not belief in a strange creed, but simply treason." Sees -Little Danger Dr. Lancaster said he sees lit tle danger of Russia's red faith winning many American converts. "The real danger," he said, "is that it will win so many among the miserable and disadvantaged elsewhere that we shall face alone a world in arms. "Our principal defenses are two: First, we must exploit the still unused revoluntionary possi bilities of our democratic faith in such a way as to give greater reality here at home to the old idea of liberty, equality, justice and fair play. Second, we must implement with vigor a foreign 'Nebraskan' j Distribution Called 'Poor' The Student Council Wednes day passed a resolution, sug i gested by George Coble, favoring the investigation of The Daily Nebraskan distribution. It was decided that the campus Improvements committee of the Council, under the direction of Mary Hubka, should make a complete investigation of the inadequate distribution. Council members cited numer ous examples of "poor distribu tion." In some cases, it was pointed out, certain buildings re ceive no copies of The Daily Ne braskan. In others too few papers are available for both students and faculty. "Printing Delayed" Kent Axtell, pointed out that faculty distribution may not be the fault of any student staff members, but that printing often is delayed. This, he said, often makes it impossible to provide proper distribution. The Council agreed that some thing should be done to remedy the situation. "If The Daily Ne braskan staff has distribution problems," said Bob Raun, presi dent, "perhaps the Council can help them out." The Student Council also de cided to publish in the new Freshman Handbook a list of all honorary and professional fra ternities, their initiation fees and semester dues. Also to be in cluded, if possible, is a list of social sororities and fraternities and their initiation and monthly fees. Should Publish Lists It was also suggested that these same lists be published in the special edition of The Daily Ne braskan which is to be sent to prospective students during the summer. Next year's student migration will be held Oct. 6, according to plans made by the Student Council. Tickets for the migration to Manhattan, Kas., for the Kan sas State football game, will be less than $10. This cost will in clude round-trip train fare and game ticket. A motion was made by Gene Berg and passed by the Council concerning the invewMgwWuwuf the Panhellenic council. T.;e Student Council, through the ju diciary committee, will make a complete investigation of the con stitution, operations and policies of the Panhellenic council. Study 'Advisable' "Since the Panhellenic council is to be represented on the Stu dent Council under the proposed constitution," said Berg, "and since the council has the power to investigate campus organiza tions, it would be advisable and worthwhile to make such a study." The Council also discussed several points of the proposed Student Council constitution, which was published in the April 18 issue of The Daily Nebraskan. The constitution will be pre sented to the Faculty Senate and (See Council, Page 4) Communist Lancaster policy which can demostrate that these ideals may be realized by men everywhere," Dr. Lancaster declared . Citizens in Danger Speaking about the first of these defenses, Dr. Lancaster found cause for concern about "the present public temper" which daily subjects citizens of "the most transparent integrity and unimpeachable patriotism" to the danger of being labeled as treasonists. . "Unless there is a reassertion of common sense," he said, "we stand in danger of creating pre cisely the situation which pre ceded the seizure of power by the Fascists and the Nazis. This would mean, of course, the destruction of all moderate groups and the set tlement of all public issues by violence." As to the second defense, Dr. Lancaster said "Our free institu tions are the result of our wealth, not the other way about." We cannot expect the Chinese and the Indian peasants to be thrilled by listening to dis courses on the beauties of free enterprise while their main pre occupation is their next meal, he said. May Accept Reds "But," he said, "it isn't hard to understand how they might ac cept (the red) gospel if, along with it, come rice and fish and new opportunities for themselves and their children. "We cannot buy friendship with dollars," he said, "but we can with money do a little to create those prosperous condi tions in which alone free institu tions flourish. "In this connection," Dr. Lan caster said, "it seems little less than scandalous that the pro posal to supply "famine relief to India should have been the sub ject of debate. Wise policy would have sent it direct to the White House if we are as concerned as we pretend to be over the Russian threat,"
