PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Friday, May 18, 1951 Editorial Comment Seeking a Permanent End . . "Theta Nu Epsilon has agreed to dissolve it self, now and for all time to come." This state ment by Chancellor Gustavson issued after two weeks of controversy concerning it is in essence the good news we have been waiting for. But the manner in which TNE will be dissolved causes much speculation from the student body. Why would an organization which has defied the administration for many years suddenly de cide to "dissolve itself?" The Chancellor said in his statement, "I have taken it upon myself, after extended conferences with alumni of the organi zation and with its student members, to re-admit the four students to University classes on a pro bationary basis." Dr. Gustavson went on to say he has in his possession sworn statements from active members and pledges from local alumni to substantiate the decision to disband. Is this enough proof to as sure the actual demise of TNE. Does the Chancel lor have the complete list of members? Without Usual Sadness . . These and other questions are currently being raised by interested students and these students deserve answers. The statement that TNE has agreed to dissolve itself is questioned by all. Can you trust the members of TNE to "dissolve itself?" The Daily Nebraskan believes, and feels the student body concurs, that Chancellor Gustavson, in his dealings with student and alumni members of TNE, has been most sincere and forthright in his desire to rid the campus, once and for all, of this undesirable society. But we question the advisability of placing trust in the men who be long to TNE to cease their activities. The Chancellor's statement is surely the most concrete proof to be realized in many years to assure that TNE is really on the way out. All that is left to do now is wait and see what de velops. We fervently hope whatever pressure the Chancellor may bring to bear on TNE will be enough to insure a permanent end to Theta Nu Epsilon. j.w. This is what is generally known as a swan song. But this swan song is different from all the rest different in the respect that it isn't sad. Naturally, there is certain sense of sadness connected with a staff publishing the last paper of the year. For some it will be the final edition of their collegiate careers. For others it is just a beginning. Despite all the pseudo-nostalgia, no staff can wish for any more newsworthy stories to work with than had this staff. Such stories as the first annual College Days, the re-admittance to girls in the cast of the Kosmet Klub spring show and the presentation of a full-scale broadway musical. Working under the disadvantage of publishing a paper under cold-war conditions, the staff handled other history shattering events. We re joiced when "Moose" Cooper entered the charmed circle of pole vaulters clearing fifteen feet. We urged the Nebraska Legislature to give the Uni versity a square shake on appropriations and were pleased to announce the total amount allotted. We witnessed the demise of a faltering or ganization called ISA and encouraged a reorgani zation of Independents. We applauded the Stu dent Council on adopting a new plan for fresh men orientation, student representative on facul ty committees, progress on a teacher rating scale and various other investigations. To culminate this semester of outstanding news events we watch dreams shattered and dreams coming true at the 50th annual Ivy Day ceremonies. But this was not the end of an already fruitful year. We then concerned ourselves with petitions to make known the standards on which members of Innocents are chosen, a vigorous campaign by the Student Council to present a constitution for the students' approval which ended in a new era for student government and a defeat for the faction. The climax of the semester was the appre hension of seven students suspected of being TNE members, the suspension of four students and the ultimate statement issued by Chancellor Gus tavson stating that TNE would "dissolve itself." For answers to the many question raised by the above issues it will be necessary to wait until next year. Many should be brought out into the open now but time does not permit. So the staff does not write "30" for this sem ester in sadness but with a feeling of expectation for the coming year. j.w. 'That's All PauV Ends Reviewer's Year Please be brief when writing tor the Letterrip eolnmn, Letters with "nom de plnme" man be accompanied by the ot the author.

Junior Men To the Student Body: Prior to selection of Innocents next spring the Innocents Society win issue a statement, in The Daily Nebraskan, of the broad general qualifications and re quirements for membership in the innocents Society. Innocents Society Jerry Johnson, president, Petition Result To whom it may concern: The members of the Better Stu dent Government Committee are gratified to note the statement of the Innocents Society which ap pears elsewhere in this column. The Better Student Government Committee now feels that its work has been accomplished and there fore dissolves itself. We arc glad to announce that any seeming differences of opinion were amic ably settled and that the inten tions of the Society, as noted in their letter, and those of the Com mittee, as expressed in the peti tion, are substantially the same. Better Student Government Committee. Weekend Data. At The Theaters . HALF ANGEL Wetta Young finds she can mefct. the nicest peo ple and do the "darndest" things as a sleep walker in her role of a good girl one day and a bad girl the next in the Technicolor comedy "Half Angel" at the Stuart. Joseph Cotten and Loretta Young get themselves into a lot of funny hot water in the story of a woman with a split person ality who loves a man when she is in her pixie mood and doesn't even know him when she's a plain hospital nurse. As a result of her sleep walking mania and her split personality, she almost manages RCCU Honors . No one that I know of dislikes the phrase "thank you" as intensely as I do. Not that I am against the idea of expressing gratitude; I am same three men and the entire gang at the Uni versity radio station for the encouragement and help that enabled me to keep my shows at the opposed to tne oia way or saying . oo spedal engineers, JESSE t say "thank you" to you who have helped me and nu CRUMP and KEN WALTERS, the si- Epstien write this column and have , helped me with my radio shows, I' really mean that I appreciate the remarks both good and bad and I am grateful for the wise advice that I have received from all of you. To DAVE HAUN at the Dave Hann Music company for allow ing me to use his establishment to listen to the records that I have reviewed for this column. It was through his cooperation that I was able to review late release records for both "High Frequency" and "Music from Everywhere." To BOBBIE TUDENHOFT at the Haun Music company for helping me pick the right records to review in this column. Also for lending a help ing hand in selecting the group of records that helped me acquire a balanced radio program. To MR. BOGEN, MR. JOGENSON AND MR. MARR for the kindness extended to me while I covered the activities at KNUS. Also to the lent men behind the mike. To MR. ROYAL BREWSTER and PAT KING of the Lincoln Program Service for all the cour tesies that they have shown me for the past year. Throughout the weeks Pat would indicate the records that were most requested over Pro gram Service. To AARON SCHMIDT who "wised me up" about some of the facts about classical music. 'Although I've never been a true music critic this column was one of review only I have come a long way through my talks with Aaron about music and all of its parts. To THE RAG staff for all the assistance they have riven me throughout the year. For with out their help, this very amateur writer could never have written this column. And last to YOU, the reader, who have fol lowed and backed me through the year. To you all, a very humble, "thank you." And so as this final story goes to press, I think of one last record "And So to Bed." That's all, Paul. Stolen Goods' 'Flash9 Ends Crime Career With Tips for Final Exams My crime career is ended! Yes, today is the last day I will be able to "legally" steal material from other schools; zut as I look at my career as a columnist philosophically, I realize that all things must end sometime, and now is a very appropriate time. Unless the rumors I've heard are false, or profs have suddenly done away with end-of-the-term tests, finals are just around the academic corner. Most of the students around NU will probably start studying conscientiously for the first time this semester. But, states Dr. Frederick N. Marty, in the Syracuse Daily Orange, don't cram, sleep instead! Dr. Marty stated that many students who ram for finals and neglect their sleep will find (hat they have rained nothlnr but a set of jumpy nerves and a miserable bunch of grades. He also pots "thumbs down" on any kind of stimulants, from "cokes" and coffee to "Nodoz" or other stimulants that contain benzedrine. Dr. Marty listed a few "simple" rules of health which, he stated would pay dividends in a "bet ter functioning body and mind and contribute to alertness at exam time. His simple rules are: 1. "Three well-balanced meals a day." 2. "Eight hours of uninterrupted sleep in a well-ventilated room." .By Connie Gordon. 3. "Daily period of relaxation." Activities Gripe To whom it may concerdi: As chairman of the Btter Stu dent Government Committee I have officially expressed by con dign relief and pleasure upon the dissolution of the committee. Unofficially, I should like to remark that, after five, years which should have convinced me, my original opinion of student activities has been justified and confirmed n a m e 1 y that one might abolish over 90 percent of them without noticing their pass ing. There are, of course, many hon est, well-intentioned, and polite people engaged in what we po litely call "activities." Alas, my recent enforced contact with the members of our student elite corps leads me to the sad con clusion that they are, in the mam, confused young people whose chief characteristic is an abysmal lack of a sense of direc tion in short, a kind of semi- hysteria over trivia induced by a I distracting and unique sort of ! academic menopause. Few get into this game "but doth suffer a sea-change into something rich and strange." Most of the beneficial services performed by these people could be handled by our excellent and very cooperative administrative staff, but these embryo leaders subjected me to an amazing va riety of monstrous nonsense, the purpose of which was to justify their collective existence. The arguments employed a series of baffling analogies which in cluded everything from seed sort ing, to halfdigested political axioms, to udder attachments. I confess that I did not understand these arguments. I think that the only solution for this ridiculous situation is abolish all these societies; they will then assume the status of sub Tosa organizations, and will therefore immediately gain the recognition they desire. They will maice tne members very happy, and the real students, then as now, will be blissfully unawarp of their presence.

RED CROSS AWARDS Joan Hanson, president of Red Cross college unit, presents Gene Berg with an award for outstanding volunteer service. Berg, Audrey Rosenbaum and Bob Mosher, all founders of the Red Cross unit on campus were honored at the Red Cross banquet Wednesday and presented plaques and merit awards. Honored also was Harold Hill, chairman of the Lancaster county , chapter. Berg and Mosher are past presidents of Red Cross and Miss Rosenbaum is a former vice president. Cornshucks Hope To the student body: Last week, the committee on Student Publications temporarily suspended Corn Shucks because of financial problems. Under the circumstances, they had no choice and I believe their action to be a sound one. Corn Shucks mav be back on the campus next vear: it mav not. Whether it is depends on the Com mittee's final ruling. We of the editorial staff sincerely hope the action wm take in consideration the editorial quality of the maga zine. During the past two years, the editorial staff of Corn Shucks has been building and planning for the future. We have always felt that each issue showed an im provement over the last and are proud of the general appearance of the magazine. We firmly believe that the University of Nebraska has a place for a humor magazine. Nat urally, we understand that the Committee on Student Publica tions cannot assume the responsi bility for a constantly large deficit. We hope the Committee on Student Publications will forgive one year's insolvency and will also consider the magazine on its editorial merits. Personally, it has been a privil ege to edit Corn Shucks and to work with such a wonderfully co llusker Annual Ready May 31 The 1951 Cornhusker will be ready for distribution Thursday, May 31. The yearbooks will be distributed every afternoon in cluding Sunday from May 31 to June 5. Students must bring their re ceipts and I. D. cards to the Corn husker office to receive their yearbooks. Anyone not in school at the time of distribution can make arrangements for receiving his book at the Cornhusker of fice. The cover of the new Corn husker will be black with grey and red lettering. The modernis tic cover drawing will depict how agriculture and industry are brought together in the Univer sity. A sketch of the Carillon tower will represent the Univer sity with drawings of corn fields and factory smokestacks on each side. Teh 1951 Cornhusker will be dedicated to the students of the University. Recognition of famous alumni is us theme. Individual pictures of juniors and seniors will be grouped ac cording to the colleges to which they belong. Each section will be prefaced by pages picturing fa mous alumni from the college. The index of this year's Corn husker will be much more com plete than last year's. It will list the pages on which the formal pictures of each student appear. There will be many color pages in the 1951 Cornhusker. White Named As Ag Council Represntative Wayne White was elected Ag college Student Council repre sentative for next year at the regular meeting of the Ag Exec board Wednesday night. White replaced Rob Raun as Ag college representative to the Council. Raun held the position two years. Representing Coll -Agri-Fun board on the Ag Exec 'oard, White will be a junior member. He is also a member of YMCA cabinet, Corn Cobs, newly elected chairman of the Ag Union dance committee and Farm House fraternity. The new Ag Exec board picked the Ag college representative.

The constitution will be revised and returned next fall for alteration. to acquire two husbands one subconscious husband and one conscious husband. Aiding in the fun and. excite ment are Cecil Kellaway, Basil Ruysdael, Jim Backus, Irene Ryan and John Ridgely. PAYMENT ON DEMAND A searching light is thrown on an important factor of the divorce problem in "Payment on De mand," starring Bette Davis and Barry Sullivan. The stars portray a couple who come to the parting of the ways brought about by the wife's con stant scheming and plotting to in crease her husband's business suc cesses. The romances of the cou ple's two daughters, Betty Lynn and Peggie Castle, are woven into an interesting plot w'h the late Jane Cowl, Kent Taylor, John Sutton, Frances Dee and Walter Dande offering supporting char acterizations. THE LAST OUTPOST Two ad venture-loving brothers face each other under different flags in a brawling, two-gunned Technicolor saga "The Last Outpost," now playing at the Lincoln. Ronald Regan appears as a devil-may-care confederate of ficer who leads a band of South ern raiders in arauding assaults against union supply trading along the Santa Fe Trail. Rea gan's brother commands the northern troops who fight des perately to keep the vital route open to the east. Adding romance to the bloody ambushes and daring raids is Rhonda Fleming in the role of a frontier girl. NEW MEXICO. The frailties, as well as the courage of the fron tier white man and the Indian are pointed out in "New Mexico" with Lew Ayres and Marilyn Maxwell at the State. The movie deals with the mi nority problem of the American Tndian whose unfortunate plight today stems back to the period, duing the late 1860's, wnen tne frontiers of our country were moving steadily westward. The desperate personal efforts of a U.S. Cavalry captain to bring re form to the unscrupulous, graft ridden handling of Indian affairs, set the pattern for the tale of conflict. BEDTIME FOR BONZO When a college professor adopts a chimp and tries to raise him just like Junior, but makes him the juve nile delinquent of the year, ac tion rides high with Ronald Re gan, Diana Lynn and "Bonzo in "Bedtime For Bonz-" at the Cap itol. , RnriTn resnonds beautiiuiiy to his treatment as a five-year-old boy right down to the wearing of a complete "Hopalong" Cas sidy outfit.

SDC Awards Writing Honors Janet Steffen, Jerry Bailey and Jim Kostal were named as the winners of the first Sigma Delta Chi awards for excellence in writing on The Daily Nebras kan at a meeting of the journal ism honorary Thursday evening.
