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."
TncttslaviiB Pride
Indeed, said Picard, this chief of
staff for Tito and his partisans
was proud to think that Yugo
slavia was the only Balkan coun-

Today w say goodbye. Good
bye to classes, instructors, rarely

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

the Russians. According to Beb

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

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

two weeks to just lie around, you

students who will be in Lincoln
for the summer can sign up for
the summer activities pool. The
summer activities board will have
a booth in the Union from 12:30

Bredthauer, chairman of the
board. These people will assist the
various campus organizations in
their summer projects.
One of the projects is sponsor
ing Red Cross programs at the

Questions which students may
