Answers to many guestions con
cerning social and economic
problems will be forthcoming to
visitors from the Civil Engineer
ing department of the Engineering
College during E Week.
The Civil Engineers projects,
which will be featured during the
Open House, held in conjunction
rith E Week and College Days,
will answer such guestions as:
"How does quick-sand' func
tion?" "What are the present and
future traffic problems of Lin
coln and how can they be alle
viated?" "Is flood control worth
while for Lincoln and its vicin
ity?" Window Display
One of the largest projects will
be the window display in the
Hardy Furniture store window.
This is under the supervision of
John D. Krogh.
Another project will depict
"City Planning". This exhibit,
under the chairmanship of Ken
neth L. Minnick, uses the city of
Lincoln as base and carries
through the various planning
phases necessary to overcome
problems in planning the traffic
needs of a city.
Model Watershed
A flood-control project, using
a model of the Cheney Sub
watershed, a branch of the Salt-
Wthoo Watershed located south of
Lincoln, will emphasize flood con
trol by soil conservation methods.
This project will illustrate
methods to be used in this vicin
ity in order to reduce damages
that result from floods.
Lyle Tanderup and Jack Reed
are chairmen of this project.
Another project is a highway
development display. Gordon
Hiatt and Charles Johnson are in
charge of the exhibit which will
show various stages of planning
Likes Amendment
To the Editor:
I would like to take this op
portunity to congratulate the
Agricultural Executive board on
their approval of the proposed
amendments to the Agricultural
Executive constitution, and the
steps they have taken to make
possible a special all Ag college
election today, Monday, April 23.
It seems to me that this
amendment, if passed by the vote
f the Ag college students, is one
ef the biggest steps to be taken
toward unifying the entire col
lege, as far as student activities
and government is concerned,
since I have been enrolled in the
college. But to me, this seems to
be only a small part of the out
come of such a student govern
ing body. Along with this back
bone of sound student govern
ment will be the increased possi
bilities if immeasurable amounts
of college spirit and efforts all
knit together in one the new
Agricultural Executive board.
Each student on Ag campus will,
through the organizations with
which he is affiliated on Ag, be
only one step or one man from
the actual board itself. He may
tiring up issues or ideas within
his organization which will be
carried directly to the Ag Exec
board by that organization's rep
resentative. On the other end, if
the Ag Exec board or any com
mittee is working on any all col
lege activity or issue that will
require all college support, the
board will have direct contact
with every Ag college organi
zation through that organiza
tion's repersentative. In other
words, the representatives of
oorganizations on the board will,
as well as take care of the regu
lar functions of the board, work
as pipelines to supply sugges
tions from the organizations to
the board and at the same time
carry Ag Exec doings back to the
attudents of the organizations.
In case you have not had a
chance to read the amendments,
I would like to mention a couple
more of its features. It guaran
tees an equal ratio of men to wo
men on the board in proportion
to the number of men women
enrolled in the college. It also
provides for two-hold-over mem
bers which ought to afford con
tinuity to the board from one
year to the next.

Interviews With 'Good News' Personel
Gives 'Hot Lead' on Kosmet Production
By a Staff Reviewer
Actors and actresses can drop
plenty of hints about their forth-
j coming show to a newspaper re
porter and still not give away
many secrets.
Anyway that's what one Daily
Nebraskan staff member discov
ered when he talked with sev
eral cast members before a re
cent dress rehearsal of the 1951
musical comedy, "Good News." A
Kosmet Klub production, it is
slated for Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday evenings, April 25,
26 and 27 at the Nebraska theater.
Anxious for 'Hot Lead'
The "Rag" reporter, anxious
to get a "hot lead" on the plot
of the show, found the crafty stu
dent thespians would reveal only
enough to leave him in suspense.
Jack Wenstrand. senior law
student, who recently starred in i
the University theater's "Caesar I
and Cleopatra," commented, "It's I
All in all, I believe that this
amendment is nearly as sound as
it could have been made at this
time. I realize that there will be
"bugs" showing up in it next
year, and in years to come but
progress in any field must come
in steps and certainly if the stu
dents of Ag college will back this
amendment by voting "Yes" on
the ballot at the Ag Union polls
today, they will have taken a
large step toward a better col
lege government as well as better
college life.
Let me urge you once again to
fulfill your obligation .to your
college and yourself, as well as
your fellow student. Vote
"Yes" Today!
Delmar Wittier.
DP Funds
Students:
The concentrated drive for
support of Displaced Persons is
now in progress. The All Uni
versity Fund would like to com
mend the Displaced Person com
mittee for its admirable effort.
AUF had sanctioned this drive
outside of its annual campaign
because support of DP's is con
sidered a campus project, not
charity, and because the Dis
placed Persons committee is soli
citing only organizations, not the
total student body.
The committee had arranged to
bring eleven foreign students to
this University next fall. These
students have been highly recom
mended by the World Student
Service Fund and have met the
requirements of the U. of N.
Their education is of great value
to them, for in their hands lies
the problem of reconstruction at
home. Many become self-supporting
after a month or two in the
country. But they need your help
to get a start.
Transportation, room and
board, tuition, books and cloth
ing have already been promised.
But what about miscellaneous
items; laundry, school supplies,
stationary, stamps, and a few of
the luxuries of life, such as one
movie a week and an occasional
cup of coffee. Shouldn't any stu
dent be allowed these essentials?
The $1500 obtained through your
contributions will provide $15
monthly allowance for such Items.
This is your last opportunity to
aid Displaced Persons. How about
giving up one movie to help
spread democracy throughout
the world?
These students are struggling
for an education. Help them!
Sincerely,
Sarah Fulton

It Happened at NU
Students on campus sometimes
laugh at their instructors, but
seldom do they lauth with them.
Recently, one instructor read
several selections by a certain
I author to his class. His main
purpose was to demonstrate the
writer's style and type.
The students found the pieces
very enjoyable, made clear
through their intermittent out
bursts of laughter.
However, the Instructor found
the readings so humorous that tie
too burst out now and then,
scarcely being able to transmit
the remainder of the passages to
his class.
Law School Plans Mock Court Skit,
Damage Case, for College Days
"Priscilla Thoughtless, who was
hit recently by a car driven by
Richard Merriwell, will sue for
damages in a court session Thurs
day, April 26.
"Miss Thoughtless was cross
ing an intersection when she was
hit by Merriwell's car. She al
leges negligence and will bring
action for damages sustained."
Imaginary Facts.
These are the imaginary facts
to be used in a skit planned by
the Law College as part of Col
lege Days activities. Bill Berg
quist, chairman of Law College
plans for the three-day celebra
tion, has announced that law stu
dents will act the parts of plain
tiff, defendant, lawyers and
judge.
College Days visitors will see
the mock trial of "Thoughtless
versus Merriwell" in skit form.
Students taking part in the skit,
under the direction of John Kal
bin, are John Brogan, Betty Nama
and Bill Berquist.
The skit will be presented
twice during the College Days
period. The first performance is
planned for 2:30 p. m. Thursday,
April 26, and the second will be
at 7:30 p. m. Thursday.
The skit, which will last ap
proximately an hour, will be
held in Room 101 of the Law
I Tom Marlowe, who sees little
'value in books."
'Full of Coed Gaffs
Of the show itself. Miss K7wh.
ler remarked, "It is a good com-
edy, representing the era of the
twenties very light, strictly good
entertainment and full of good
gags. It ought to be good, be
cause we have put so much time
m on it."
Richard Marrs, freshman geol
ogy major, explains his part as
"Beef" Saunders, thusly: "Every
show has to have a bully, and I
am the one."
"He plays football, but every
little thing, upsets him. He has a
crush on Babe O'Day, portrayed
by Lois Nelson, and it seems that
Babe wants to get rid of him.
"Beef becomes so jealous that
he threatens to 'beat up' every
one who goes with her. What
bothers him most is, that al
though he is the mainstay of the
Tait college line, he is nothing
compared to his teammate Tom
Marlowe."
An Eccentric Kind
Jack Chedester, a freshman In
the College of Business Admin
istration, said of his part as
Bobby Randall, "I am a sort of
eccentric young fellow, but in
possession of a pleasing person
ality." Bobby is too flippant to be
much more than a mediocre foot
ball player for Tait college, but
he finally reveals himself during
the final game as a hero.
"A Mickey Rooney type, you
can never tell what he'll do
next," he said.
"Goods News" is being pre
sented as a part of the College
Days activities and will mark the
first KK show in ten years with
a mixed cast.
First nighters will have an op
portunity Wednesday night to
witness the formal presentation
of the Cornhusker Beauty Queens
of 1951.
Dallas Williams and William
Ellis, of the University Theater,
are director and technical man
ager, respectively, of the show.

Turkey Consultant Discusses
Middle East at NUCWA Meet
Richard D. Robinson, consult-1 lieved if communism was to in

basin, spoke on the present eco
nomic and political conditions in
Turkey at a mass meeting of
NUCWA Thursday evening.
"The Middle Eastis far more
critical area," according to Robin
son, "than the Far East." This he
attributed to the vast amount of
oil.
In giving a background of the
political history of Turkey, Robin
son pointed out that in 1947 a
second attempt to establish rep
resentative government was made
through a free, but hotly contest
ed, election.
Now, Robinson said, a new pro
gressive political group is in
power, one which can maintain
democratic institutions. The pro-
gressive government, he said, has( Russia will probably have to

Thursday, the general arrived
in Washington to challenge the

In his speech before Congress,
Mac Arthur charged that the
joint chiefs of staff had shared
his military war against com

George C. Marshall silenced the
joint chiefs on the subject.
A spokesman said that the
president relieved the general of

tary advisers including the joint
chiefs of staff.

Michigan's democratic governor,

Reds Retreat
On the war front, the reds
apparently were "teasing" allied
trooDS to launch a headlong drive
north by no resistance in the
earlv part of the week.
United Nations troons inched
forward slowly but relentlessly,
consolidating each new oosition
against the possibility of light
nine red counter-attacks.
Wednesday, powerful U N
, tani mlnmns thrust deen into
communist north Korea with no
resistance. The communists re
fused to come oi't and fight.

stabbed unonoosed to a village
16 miles north of the ?-th nr.r

on the Kang airstrip northrast
of the communist capital of
Pyongyang.
By Thursday, United Nations
spearheads struck northwest
from captured Hwachon and its
big dam toward the enemy's cen
tral Korean base of Kumhwa,
rallying point for thousands of
retreating Chinese troops.
Friday, retreating reds turned
and fought U. N. approaches to

Korea. However, it appeared no
more than a delaying action.
