"It shall be mandatory to dis miss from the University any student found by the Senate Com mittee on Student Organization and Social Functions to be assoc iated with or a member of an or ganization that encourages or re quires as a condition for member ship the drinking of intoxicating liquor or the practice of immor ality in any form when this find ing shall have been reported to the dean of student affairs or the dean of women." "Theta Nu Epsilon has agreed to dissolve itself now, and for all time to come." This statement was issued Thursday by Chancellor R. G. Gustavson. Student members and alumni representatives of the men's sec ret society also have agreed to turn over to the Chancellor its records and complete membership roll. Stated the Chancellor: "Recently four students of the University of Nebraska were ap prehended by University police for painting signs on the campus streets. The four students were suspended from the University. Students Re-Instated "I have taken it upon myself, after extended conferences with alumni of the organization and with its student members, to re admit the four students to Uni versity classes on a probationary bssis ' Added the Chancellor, "The student members have deposited in my office sworn statements of their intention to immediately dissolve the organization. These statements have been substanti ated by pledges from alumni of the society residing in the Lin coln area. "Acting on my own initiative, I have accepted in good faith the statement of the society's student members, and of the society's alumni. I have every reason to believe that Theta Nu Epsilon will cease to exist on the Uni versity campus. I believe that its members, both students and alumni, now recognize that the purposes of the society are not in the best interest of the Uni versity of Nebraska." Student Furor The Chancellor's action fol lowed recent furor expressed in a Student Council letter to Dr. T. J. Thompson, Dean of Student Affairs; the Dean's reply to the Council, and editorials in The Daily Nebraskan all of which condemned the vandalism of TNE. The Council . letter declared that "the strongest type of action" should be taken by administra tive officials "to root out TNE." Dr. Thompson's reply stated, "It was my administrative duty to suspend the four students found to be associated with this nefarious organization." Cause for Expulsion The four TNE's were suspended indefinitely after they were ar rested for painting their tradi tional signs on exteriors of sev eral organized houses and on sidewalks. Dean T. J. Thompson an nounced following the suspension that the men would not be read mitted until a complete member ship list was turned in to him, or until a bond was posted with the University, guaranteeing that no further painting would be done by TNE. Negotiations with the alumni and present members of TNE followed this action. The expulsion was justified by section 20 of the By-Laws and Rules of the Board of Regents which said in part: ". . .

Taft's sugges tion to cut armed forces man power goal by 500 thousand men was called "very foolish" by President Truman Thursday. Truman said the plan was "an Invitation to war' with Russia and that "penny-pinching now may mean throwing away lives of our soldiers later on." The goal for the armed forces during the next year is 3.5 mil lion. Taft has suggested a drop in the goal to about 3 million be cause of a large "waste oi per- sonnel" which he thinks can be corrected.

The TNE affair was rated far ahead of the second place story, the draft and universal military training. The ten most outstanding news stnries. as Dicked by the 11 edi tors, are (top stories received lowest scores): 1. TNE suspension and activi ties 2. Draft and UMT 3. Constitutional Controversy 4. College Days 5. University Budget 6. & 7. "Good News" and Ivy Day (tie) 8. Don Cooper's pole vault record 9. Collapse of Independent Student association 10. Coed cheerleaders on the yell squad Suspension Followed The suspension of TNE mem bers occurred May 7, following a series of campus disturbances the night of May 2. Seven stu dents were caught by Lincoln and University police while painting their traditional signs around the campus. Although action has not been taken against three of them, the other four were indefinitely sus pended from the University. Dr. T. J. Thompson, dean of student affairs, who made the suspensions, was backed by the Student Council and The Daily TJphraskan. An oDen letter to Dean Thompson from the coun- cil urged him and other univer sity officials to rid the campus of "TNE's corruptive and destruc tive influences." j The Daily Nebraskan called up on the student body to inform Banquets, special programs and the administration of its wishes ; displays highlighted the three in regard to TNE and asked that day festival, making it the Uni all negotiations with the orgam- versity's third biggest news item, zation be made public. .. ...

However, approximately three- fourths of a total ot 1,07b stu dents favored universal military training, according to a poll taken during second semester registra tion. A majority favored training for 18-year-olds or high school graduates, lasting from 12 to 21 months.

Charges and counter-charges flew thick and fast as each group tried to prove its point.

The measure will now go to the Board of Regents for final approval. A year of planning ended April 26-28 as the first annual College Days brought thousands of per sons to the University.
