Douglas MacArthur will hear the five-star general Thursday, May Chairman Richard B. Russell, (d Ga.) of the armed services group, announced MacArthur's agreement to appear as the star witness in an inquiry expected to reach into all aspects of his dis pute with President Truman over far eastern policy Russel has expressed the belief that the hearing should be in closed session, but the committee will comply if MacArthur wishes it to be public. Russel emphasized that national security problems will be involved in . the investigation, especially when senators seek to get to the bottom of military messages to and from the ousted supreme commander in the far east. "There will remain many ques tions which must be answered in executive session," he told re porters. 1 ?lembers of the senate foreign relations committee prbably will si1 in on the hearing's. Chinese Reds Surge South of Parallel 40,000 Chinese communist forc es "iave swarmed south in Korea to points nearly ten miles below the 38th parallel. A ten-mile gap has been riped Jn the allied lines. The red break through threatened to cut the vital Seoul-Chunchon supply high way west of Chunchon, isolating a'.lied forces on the east-central front. Despite "terrible" comrmjnist lessen, frontline commanders said the situation was serious. Intelligence officers said the reds were throwing "everything they have" into the breakthrough n the central front, including cavalry. They said the gap developed when South Korean forces broke and fell back, allowing the enemy to swarm through and attack neighboring allied forces on the flanks.

Maybe what Jack Chedester, playing the part of Bobby, is asking of Jan Crill, who is portraying Marcia, will be considered good news. At any rate the two students giving a pre view of tonight's presentation of the Kosmet Klub production of Bobby, is asking of Jan Crill, who is portraying Patricia will be the first of three to be put on at the Nebraska Theater as part of College Days. musical numbers and accom panying dances are taken from an age during which "catchy" tunes and jazz ruled much of the entertainment world. "There," said Schmidt, "a vast wealth of musical talent in our midst, and quite evident in "Good News." This should prove to be some of the best musical entertainment that University students have witnessed." Plot of Show The plot or action of the show revolves about Tom Marlowe, played by Hal Sienknecht, who plays football for his beloved Tait college." However, the thrill of a lifetime scoring the win ning point is almost out of reach when Tom flunks his astronomy examination. The troubles with professors, girl friends -and grid fans . de velops into a concoction of music, football, love, laughter and danc ing. Demure Connie, played by Suzanne Koehler, tries to tutor Tom and a love interest begins.

Com Shucks Blasts Campus With Ivy Day By Phyllis Chubbuck The secret is out! The campus was crushed by the fatal news! An old tradition has ended and all because of Corn Shucks. Corn Shucks blasted the cam pus with the Ivy day prevue of the new Innocents and Mortar Boards. Shucks ought to be ashamed of themselves. First they smear The Daily Nebraskan and now they have told the jun ior men and women the news which bores them so much. -MB Disillusionment The result of the Mortar Board meeting on which Corn Shucks commented was complete disillu sionment for Norma Chubbuck. Since the Black Masques failed to accept her candidate, Gregory Peck, Miss Chubbuck's only com ment is "I hate Gregory Peck" The records of this same meet ing show what a talkative little character Ginny Guhin really is. The only comment that can be made about the selection of the new Innocents is the group is certainly a versatile bunch of creatures. Corn Shucks did make the one real contribution of their history in the April issue. The answer of how to "cool" the final ex ams coming up may be found on pages 12 and 13. Why This Secret? Why have they kept these mavels a secret for so long when they spill information like the new witches and devils so free ly? This in" rmation may revo lutionize the student's life, espe cially that of the coed. Since specimens of th? male race are Writers Plan College Days Honor Banquet The School of Journalism and Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, will spon sor a luncheon Saturday noon as part of the College Days activi ties. Silver keys will be awarded to fifteen Nebraska high school stu dents for the best news, features, sports and editorial stories. The schools were divided into four classes, according to size. Awards are given in each class for each of the four types of stories. Preliminaries judging was done by Susan Reed of the Sigma Phi and Ladd Duryea of Sigma Delta Chi. Nathan BJumberg and Wil liam Hice, Instructors in the School of Journalism, were the final judges of the stories. Every effort Is being made to contract a prominent journalist to speak at the luncheon. Tickets are $1.25 and may be obtained from Don Pieper or at the office of the School of Jour nalism on the third floor ol Bur nett hall. The luncheon will he at the Chamber of Commerce at 12 noon. , AuDSTXBdllBlHS Fscc!!iir Slca Registration for both 1951 will be held May 14, 15 and 16, Dr. Hoover has an nounced.

Prevue Issue becoming a novelty on the cam pus, the machine providing the coed with her choice of all, dark, cute men with curly hair or crew cuts should make a fortune. Editor Frank Jacobs wrote thetne best editorial comment of his ca reer "NO TIME FOR WORDS but time for 'Good News and College Days." For Fat Coeds Girls, you can eat all you de sire and still Jose weight! In the upper left corner of page 22, complete information may be found. Male students were neglected almost completely by Corn Shucks. The morale-lifting cover girl was omitted. If rumors are correct, the April pin-up girl was posted on the bulletin board of the Corn Srucks' editorial staff. With this last comment, ob jects of every description began flying from the Shucks office, so I will take my trusty typewriter and go into hiding until the next issue of the humor (?) magazine. Applications Open For Noyes Award Students Interested in the La Verne Noyes scholarships which supply about $65 per semester toward tuition for blood descend ants of World war I veterans should apply now to the Dean of Student Affairs in the Adminis tration building. Each year about 25 Noyes scholarships are granted, about 18 of which go to students above the freshman level. Lee W. Chat field, assistant to the dean, said that students who now hold Noyes scholarships and who wish the scholarships continued must submit a new application before the end of May. The scholarships are granted on the basis of need, character, scholarship and establishment of relationship to a World war I veteran who served prior to Sept. 1, 1918. Fifty-Four Floats to Represent r our Divisions Fifty-four floats, representing various campus organizations and groups, will compete in the Husk er Holiday parade, a feature of College Days. Floats will be divided into four divisions to be judged and plaques will be awarded to the winners Judging will be done by promi nent Lincoln architects on these qualifications: beauty and general eye appeal, 40 per cent; educa tional value. 35 per cent; origin ality, 20 per cent and use of music or noise, 5 per cent. Organizations are urged by Dirk Kuska, chair man of the parade, to begin work ing on their floats immediately. A color guard and the Univers 16 summer and fall sessions of stead, the assignment committee will consider the total number of hours accumulated by the student as of Feb. 1, 1951. This will be the number of hours recorded on the grade report for the first se mester. The student must present this grade report to the assignment committee. No ID card is re quired. Notices will be posted See Exam Schedule on Page 2 every hour stating the number of hours necessary to register dur ing that period. Students with. 125 or more hours will register first, those with 123-124 will be next and so on. The reason .or the change, Hoover says, is that students had figured every possible angle to beat the system of tickets. He believes that the new system may last two years before the stu dents figure an angle to beat it. Few Changes Planned Except for this change the reg istration procedure will remain much the same. The four steps in registration are outlined by Hoover as follows: First, sign the appointment sheet on the door of your advis er's office. These appointment sheets have been mailed to the advisers and should be available now. Meet your adviser at the appointed time to arrange a pro gram of studies. If you have re ceived a notice that you are out of the junior division, go to the dean of your college. He will assign you another adviser. Second, unless you are in the College of Arts and Sciences, you must hane the dean of your college sign lyour work sheet This step is hot required for stu ents in arts and sciences.
