Communism: Yugoslav Brand . . .
Yugoslavian delegate Ales Bebler presented an
interesting, if not completely convincing viewpoint,
to University students as he addressed them at
lever al meetings Monday.
Not t all like the usual American conception
of a communist, he was friendly, showing a readi
ness to answer questions, even though many of his
listeners were unconvinced by his arguments.
"1 think he was Just covering up for what they
are doing over there in Yugoslavia," one student
muttered as he left.
Speaking as a representative of the only com
munist government in Europe which has success
fully defied the Russians, he denied that the
course now being pursued by the U.S.S.R. is true
communism. He declared that Yugoslavia was truly
following the Marxian doctrines.
Yugoslavia is a big question-mark in the minds
of many Americans. It is seemingly communist,
and yet not Russian dominated. It has pursued a
course which is virtually walking a tight rope be
tween the East and the West. In recent months,
they have received supplies from the Western
powers as an aid against possible Russian or satel
lite attacks upon that country.
Bebler argued that peace can be maintained
only by pursuing a policy designed to give the
Russians no justification for aggression. Such a
course has been followed successfully for three
years, but many experts wonder how long Yugo
slavia can continue to do so.
Such a wide divergence exists between the cul
tural backgrounds of the people of Yugoslavia and
the United States that it is difficult to bridge the
np. Bebler argued that a small communist party
within Yugoslavia is democratic. This, again, rep
resents a difference between Eastern and Western
conceptions of democracy. Americans cannot con
ceive of one small party controlling a country.
Bebler denied that the people of Yugoslavia were
Unhappy under the present regime. Newspaper
dispatches have indicated that there was consid
erable unrest. An official of the government could
not be expected to admit that people were not
happy with the regime which gave him a job.
Americans have debated whether or not this
country should aid a government which is so alien
to American ideals.
Bebler told the' story of a cabinet minister who
disagreed with the government, was sent to jail
and later publicly admitted his "sins." This inci
den has a strange familiarity, since a number of
Russian prisoners have had similar changes of
heart. This sounds peculiarly like the strong-arm
methods used by the Russians to gain admissions
from their opponents.
Americans wonder whether Yugoslavia would not
prove a strange ally in the event of war.
The Yugoslav loan course may be the best policy
for them to follow. Tito, a long-time Kremlin as
sociate, should know how the communist mind
operates. Bebler said that moving into North
Korea was a mistake, for it gave the communist
troops a "holy war" to redeem their lost territory.
Yugoslavia operates on the theory that Russia
must have no chance to conduct such a "holy war"
against them. Bebler believed that troops fight
best when they feel that their cause is just.
It may be that Tito is a "little Stalin." Despite
Bebler's assertions, it is still questionable whether
Tito's government has the support of all the peo
ple. The mere existence of opposition parties in the
government suggests that all may not be as smooth
as Bebler claimed.
Bebler painted a rosy picture of conditions in
Yugoslavia. It may well be, as he said, that Yugo
slavia cannot accept democracy in the American
form. Governments in different parts of the world
necessarily differ, because of traditions and pe
culiar local conditions. It is highly questionable,
however, whether the present Yugoslav govern
ment represents the best form of government for
the people in that European hot-spot. t.r.
"Free For AH'
Loss of ' Shucks Magazine
Prompts, Sad Swan Song
.By Rod Rifgrs.
Epitaph:
Here lies Corn Shacks, stiff and dead,
It couldn't cut its overhead.
It does seem a shame that the one funny publi
cation, our alleged campus humor magazine, is now
defunct
This publication, which came out so poorly in
comparison with such semi-literary items as the
Harvard Lampoon or even Iowa State's Green
Gander or the Kansas Bitter Bird will be missed
by all of us, I am sure.
It is certain that we will miss the solicitors who
come around every fall pleading "Won't you sub
scribe to Corn Shucks? Please."
And we will shed a tear for all of the little peo
ple who will no longer earn activity points by sit
ting in the Union lobby shouting, "Got your
Corn Shucks?"
And those who worked in publications will miss
the noise that pours out of the cubbyhole in the
Union basement dedicated to the Bureau for Clip
ping from Other Publications and Suppressing
Original Thought
decrease in value. If the Shucks staffers aren't in
The chewing gum concession in the Union will
every now and then, sales will drop off to nothing.
The Rag staff will have to go back to bothering
the workers in the Cornhusker office.
Upon further consideration, a jief perusal of
the magazine itself, we come to the conclusion
that the suspension of Corn Shucks will have ef
fects that will be serious and far reaching.
A cursory examination of the magazine will suf
fice to cover. It is truly a masterpiece of art and
humor. Once deciphered, its message will truly be
one of those phrases by which one can live. On the
back cover, there is- one of the usual four-color
cigarette ads without which no humor magazine
can exist.
The inside cover, front andor back, is an adver
tisement whipped up by the editorial staff when
they found that the business office had been lying
down. Using a movie still for artwork, they pre
sent a witty and decidedly funny satire on modern
advertising, using such fresh touches as funny
names for people and products, mention of the
biological processes, etc.
The Inside, once you get there is a fascinating
hodge-podge of nothing. Its vacuuity is exceeded
only by the value given to the reader. All four
pages (the usual lineage) are literally bursting
with refreshing wit and humor, delightfully done.
And at the bottom of page four, there is a little
item: Freshman, after bumping into the same tree
several times: "Losht . . . losht in an impenetrable
forest."
State Parks Offer Recreational Facilities
For Enjoyment of Nebr askans, Outstaters
by Dick Walsh
The Nebraska game, forestation
and parks commission has invit
ed the people of Nebraska and
those of other states, too to en
joy the recreational facilities
and scenic spots of the state on
their weekend and vacation trips
this summer.
According to the Division of
Nebraska Resources, a branch of
the department of agriculture and
inspection, the commission main
tains seven state parks, three of
them with cabin facilities. This
may be of particular interest to
college students.
Chadron state park, established
in 1919, is one of the most scen
ic, according to the report Situ
ated in the "Pine ridge" area
south of Chadron, the camp offers
fishing, horseback riding, hiking,
swimming and picnicking. Indi
vidual and group cabins are
available.
Cabins Available
Cabins also are available at
Ponca state park and Niobrara Is
land state park.
The first is located in the Pon
ca Indian country in Dixon coun
ty overlooking the Missouri river.
It offers a diversity of recreation.
The second is located on an is
land in the mouth of the Nio
brara river in Knox county,
where traces of a Mormon settle
ment in 1846 can still be seen.
It offers golfing, fishing, boating,
swimming and hiking.
Unique is Arbor Lodge state
park at Nebraska City, the re
port maintains. The old colonial
type mansion and surrounding
65-acre park is the former home
of J. Sterling Morton, founder
of Arbor Day and one-time Unit
ed States Secretary of Agricul
ture. Historical Relics
Numerous historical relics are
preserved in the 52 rooms of the
big white house. The park con
tains picnic facilities.
Fort Kearney state park, be
tween Minden, and Kearney,
marks the site of the old army
post which was established in the
1840's to protect the early west
ward movement from the In
dians. Victoria Springs state park near
Merna, site of an early settle
ment, is known for its mineral
springs. Recreational facilities
are available there.
Stolley state park near Grand
Island, site of an early settlement
known as Fort Independence, of
fers playground and picnic facilities.
State Maintains Grounds
In addition to the parks, the
state maintains more than 50
recreation grounds, most of them
offering fishing and boating fa
cilities. A few have cabins. A
complete list may be obtained
from the Division of Resources or
the Game commission.
Eighteen rivers, 40 reservoirs
and more than 2,000 natural lakes
offer sport to the fisherman.
Best known reservoir, of course,
is huge Lake McConaughy near
Ogallala, but a number of others
along the Platte valley provide
plenty of opportunities to wet a
line. New reservoirs in the Re
publican valley, although stocked,
have not yet been opened to fish
ing. The state's greatest concentra
tion of natural fishing waters is
in the sandhills, where there are
some 2,000 lakes varying in
depth from 10 to 20 feet.
Historic sites to visit include
the Scottsbluff National Monu
ment near Scottsbluff and the
Homestead National Monument
near Beatrice.
Many scenic spots such as the
Missouri river bluffs, the wood
ed areas along the Niobrara riv
er and the Snake river near Val
entine round out the picture.

Constitution 'OKay'
To the Editor,
During the past two years, the
siuei,t Council of the University
of Nebraska has concentrated all
efforts to draft a new Constitu
tion which would be adequate
and democratic.
A great deal of work has gone
into the framing of this docu
ment. Many hours have been
spent analyzing the faults of the
old Constitution. Special consid
eration has been given to a plan
which would guarantee the fair
est representation on the Council
Students at the University have
been without a constitution long
enough and it seems only logical
that their vote for good student
government should be forthcom
ing at the all-University election,
Wednesday, May 16.
The new -revised Constitution
provides for balanced representa
tion from colleges and campus
groups and organizations, thereby
assuring a voice in student gov
ernment to every student of the
University. It makes no differ
ence what the student's affilia
tions may be, he would enjoy
equal rights under the new Con
stitution. The past two Student Councils
have been interim groups com
posed of representatives from
various student organizations.
Though these Councils would not
democratically represent every
interest on campus, they have
arawn up a Constitution which
would.
This Constitution would pro
vide for student appeal for re
dress of grievances. It would
provide for a more clearly de
fined program of eligibility, fil
ings, election and publicity of
prospective candidates for mem
bership to the Student Council.
It would provide for honest tabu
lations of votes for any election
procedure on campus, conducted
by any group. It would provide
specincally for the right of stu
dents to submit proposals for re
vision or amendment to the
Constitution.
It appears to use that the fram
ing of the new Constitution has
been accomplished through a
broadminded attitude on the part
of the Council. Numerous meet
ings have been set aside for stu
dent hearings and students have
been invited to state their views
especially regarding representa
tion on the new Council. In this
way, both sides to every question
were carefully considered.
Sage advice has been received
from faculty members of the
joint student-faculty committee
which was in charge of initiating
the revision of the former Con
stitution. Their experience was
definitely of great value.
In view of all these things, we
pledge to the Student Council,
our approval and support for the
new, revised Constitution.

Vote Is 'Yes'
To the Editor:
Vnn have rinne a eood iob in
bringing to the attention of stu
dents the coming vote on the new
revised Student Council constitu
tion. Certainly, no constitution is
perfect. However, many students
appreciate the work of the fac
ulty, Student Council members
and student in trying to work out
a compromise between two
schools of thought ,
This constitution enables any
person to file for student govern
ment regardless of political back
ing. My vote is "Yes" for the
new Student Council constitution.
Respectfully,
Concerned.
