Friday, May 18, 1951 PAGE 4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN iebfler TeilUrs FcaEie 0P Sudens By Jane Randall This is the story of two alleged Czechoslovakian DP's, Fritz Pic ard and Howard Dennis, in their match of wits with Ales Bebler, Yugoslavian delegate to the United Nations. According to Picard. it was dif ficult to tell whether this man, who kept his own head when the heads of many others rolled, was laughing with them or at them. At any rate, they gained from him an invitation to lunch, in. the process. During this meeting, said Pic ard, Bebler was very genial and good natured. He insisted on Ne braska's beer and literally turned vm his nose when any other kind manufactured outside the state was mentioned. His tastes for the products of Nebraska seemed to cover a broad expanse. High Compliments Picard said that both he and Dennis were surprised that Beb ler' s compliments of the state capitol were so high. This was very evident when he remarked that he thought the marble em ployed in the Capitol's construc ting was much better than that vhich Italy used in its architec ture. In return for his good words about the state, Gov. Val Peterson proceeded to make him an ad rrrral in the Nebraska Navy. At this Picard said to him, "You cant do much with that title. In Nebraska we have no ships." N Funds "That's nothing," Bebler re turned; I was once the minister of finance in the province of Slo vinia in my own country no funds!" When asked what happened to those who disagreed with the Tito doctrine, Picard said that his eyes took on a sly twinkle and his mouth stretched at one corner into a knowing grin. "M-mmm," he said simply, they go to jaiL" And then what happens?" came the logical query. Bebler grinned again the same half-smirk and slowly contin ued, "They read books write letters, and change their minds."

Good bye to classes, instructors, rarely used text books and campus poli tics. Gone for another year are all the activities and assignments that plague college students. This could turn into a very melancholy and sentimental oc casion if it weren't for finals. They manage to ruin everything. Of coarse it's a well known fact that exams are absolutely unes sential, uncalled for and unnec cessary.

And it's a well known fact that the coin used has a head on each side. They know that the grades are already in or if they aren't one lil or test wont make any dif lerence now. It's just absolutely out of the question to ask seniors to appear at finals. The junior class shares the same opinion. After all, here they are with just one year of school left the draft breathing down their neck and more important to be done. The more important things range from hanging any excess pins to writing crib notes tor the draft deferment tests. Another reason is their aus terity. They are the ones who wis next be seniors. What would the freshmen think if it got out that the 'upperclassmen' had to go through the same torturous exams that the rest of the peasants da No Ifs absolutely impossible to ask the Juniors to take finals. The sophomores have a big ana logical excuse for absenteeism at exams, too. After all, they've studied whole year and what Banquet Will Fete Schramm Dr Eek T.

Bebler invited them to lunch on the assumption they were Czech oslovakian DP"s. try which was not liberated by the Russians. According to Beb ler, the Yugoslavs themselves threw the Germans out However, in order to preserve the governmental regime in his country, Bebler pointed out that chances for "border infiltration" must be watched closely and if at all possible, prevented.' Soon it was time to leave for this two-year veteran of the com munistie shock trooper Interna tional Brigade. Students Benefit Picard with ammunition for his term paper on Czechoslovakia and Dennis with another experience to his credit, ushered Bebler to the airport As they waved! good-by to the diplomat they congratulated each other on the invitation which they had received from him to come and see him when the Security council was in session at Lake Success, N. Y. they don't know now they never will know. Those second year students never were ones to cram. They remember the Orientation classes where cramming and bad study ing habits m'ere rejected. So, if they cant cram, they wont have read the book. If they havent read the book, they cant take the test It's perfectly obvious that sophomores cant be ex pected to take finals. Brilliant Freshmen Lastly and lowliest are the Freshmen. They might as well take the finals because in their own words, "'We know every thing," But if they know every thing, why waste the paper to find out. It would be embarras sing to the faculty to have to give 9's to everyone. And freshmen are so smart they'd surely all get a nine, at least It would just be a waste of time to ask fresh men to take any sort of a final. From these conclusion, it seems perfectly simple and logical to just skip final week this year and every year. Nothing good can come of it And it would serve to improve and perpetuate Cornhusker spirit After all, with two weeks to just lie around, you could raise a lot of spirit YW Cabinet Filings Close Application deadline for YWCA cabinet and commission groups is Friday noon. Students may still obtain ap plication blanks at the YW ffk in Ellen Smith hall. As yet the exact groups will be open for positions have not been determined.
