PAGE 2 ' DAILY .NEBRASKA? FRIDAY, -RJLY 6, 1951 Arnot Tells About U.S. Propaganda Interest of the Students? Is Regent's bookstore really operated in the interests of the students f Their avowed policy seems a little amiss when the semester is over and you sell, or try to sell, books back. Many books can't be sold at all. Yes, that is understand able, because they aren't being used on this campus any longer. Does that mean that they aren t being used on any campus any longer? Why does Regents refuse to buy books that the other book stores will buy? Maybe the other book stores do bind books, while Regents doesn t. If Regents is working for the best interest of the student, why don t they bind books ? They don't sell enough books to enable them to lower prices. If they lowered prices, wouldn t more students pat ronize Regents, and then wouldn't the bookstore in turn sell more books and make more money ? It is unfortunate that Regents can't sell other supplies such as paper, pencils, ink, etc. so that students could buy everything they need in the way ol school supplies in one store. If the Regents bookstore is really working in the inter est of the student body, I think something can be done to remedy this situation. Creatures of Habit .L-.r..i i mu. i ru tt- For the communication of our Deauuiui campus yuu nave, i ic iiwuo aic wen iAeas and beiieis, he said, we use me trees so wen inmmeu . . . Suddenly the image of piles of unread textbooks van ished. The memory of a bitter shotgun test in this building faded. The recollection of a "1" from a course in that building retired to obscurity. An antagonistic professor was suddenly disassociated from the beautiful structure over there. It was at this moment that the beauty of the campus the rose bushes in front of the library, the bushes around Andrews, the lawns which surround nearly every building appeared through the fog. A discovery was maae. ine oia aaage aDoui me luiesi and the trees can be well applied here. In the mad rush of this atomic-powered life we're leading, we tan to set tne DraKes occasionally anu just appreciate.,!!, a u co.ojr w in come buried in our work and play that we don't see what is around us. We are inhabiting a beautiful campus and if we would just take the time to look around, this beauty would leave a permanent impression of splendor on our minds. Let's open our eyes and I think we'll find, to our amazement, that we've been walking amid this beauty for a long time, seeing little. The U. S. has a clear and defi nite foreign policy and without it we would have no information program for foreign countries, ac cording to Charles P. Arnot, as sistant chief of the Department of States International Press and Publications division. The government's information, Droeram cives a "full and fair picture of the U.S. to persons abroad," Mr. Arnot said. We tell them the way we live, what our standard of living is and how it is achieved, he added. We also counter the more glar ing lies of the Soviet. With the $79,000,000 appropriated m 1950 by Congress we present a posi tive as well as a negative argu ment to these people, the State Department official added. "This is done through our 209 bureaus in 84 countries abroad," he said Damohlets. cartoon books, maga zines, filmstrips, motion pictures, posters, feature material and sci ence newsletters. Books, Old And New, In Review "War In Korea," by Marguerite Hiffglns. Reviewed by Pat Haldcr- man. On June 25, 1950, the momentous day South Korea was invaded, Marguerite Higgins was in Tokyo. Within two days she was in Seoul, and for months she re mained in Korea to prove, as some have snid, "she has ice water in her veins." True Story "War in Korea" is the real story of the GI's and officers who have fought forward and backward there not just an account by the "arm chair writers" who have tried to write the same type of story. The fact that Miss Higgins is a woman and has been in the thick of it is in itself unique. But des pite that face, she has lived the experiences presented and has written them with a high degree of objectivity and authenticity. Even though in the beginning she ran into the" ill will of both The Voice of America is an ef-GI.s fmostlv officers), she stuck JJul (Daih ybJihoAkavL Member INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESS FORTY-SEVENTH YEAR TN Daily Nebraskan is published by the students of the University of Ne- braska as expression of students' news and opinions only.

Ann Mockett r.unui Business Manager .Rob Reickenbaeh News and Views Talks of truces, cease-fire and armistice prevailed on the Korean front this week. The Reds, they report, will be ready to discuss plans between July 10 and 15. Meanwhile, American casual ties leaped 3,145 in one week making the total 76,749 with 12,670 of these deaths. Iran Oil Dispute In Iran the oil dispute still joince, rages. Premier Mohammed Mos sadegh refused to discuss the oil crisis except on the basis of na tionalization of the industry. President Truman has refused to serve as mediator in the oil dispute on the basis of incom petence. Probe . Ends The Senate inquiring commit tee on the dismissal of General Douglas MacArthur ended its probe after 42 days, 13 witnesses and over two million words. Maj. Gen. Emmett O'Donnell, the last witness told the commit tee that the U. S. should have hit the Chinese in Manchuria last autumn when the war began. He believes, however, that we should refrain from such action now in order to save our men and materials in case we have a war with Russia. Francis P. Mathews, Omaha's former Secretary" of the Navy, was nominated by President Tru man as Ambassador to Eire. Taking Mathew's position will be Under Secretary of the Navy Dan Kimball. Price Freezes In Washington, the office of price stabilization put the price of more goods on the "frozen" list. Goods on which manufactur ers' prices were frozen included cotton textiles, shoes, apparel, many household appliances and machinery. This action of freezing came about because rollbacks are banned, according to the OPS fective propaganda measure, he said. At the present time, we have three radio stations and four others in progress. Forty-five languages are em ployed daily in the broadcasts from these stations. Mr. Arnot stated. "At the present, a score "of the nation's toD scientists are worx ing to convert the Voice of Amer ica into the most powerful radio station in the world." the official said. Besides these scientists, we have language specialists, adver Using men, journalists, a movie man from Hollywood, and many other specialists who are working on the development of this infor mation program, he added. We work through private or ganizations in the countries abroad," according to Mr Arnot, and thus direct the communica tion but not outwardly. People of foreign lands Are much more apt to accept information from their own people than from foreigners, he believes, and that is why the U.S. tries to stay in the background. In some countries, the r ar ,asi particularly, information pro grams are difficult to carry out, Arnot stated, because the per centage of illiterates is so high. Most of these persons' lives are centered around their work, their home and their religion, he said, so that is where we concentrate cur propaganda. It is in these fields of interest to the average person that the most good will be done, he believes "The overall progress has been tremendous," Arnot stated, but 'impatience is one thing we're going to have to conquer." The American people expect miracles to happen overnight. This is im possible in a field as large as the foreign information program, he added. Mainliner Crashes The first United Air Lines Mainliner DC-6 to run from San Francisco to Chicago after the ten-day pilot strike crashed near Fort Collins, Colo., killing all that were aboard. The plane was headed for Denver to make a scheduled stop. N.U. BULLETIN BOARD it out, finally to achieve a high place in the esteem of both. The reader will be impressed with the endurance, courage and stam ina shown by Miss Higgins. Not asking any favors, she proved she could "take it" with the best" of them. Answers Questions Miss Higgins explains many things the American people have asked about the Korean 'war why, in the beginning stages, our troops were tossed about as play things; wh; the branches of serv ice couldn't seem to get together on their strategy. In the first place, our troops were badly outnumbered and out- equipped. Our soldiers were con fronted with heavy tanks that our bazookas "didn't even tickle." She tells of the first soldiers, unpre pared, poorly equipped, and psy chologically unsuited for combat, ana finally, of the brave and cou rageous job those same soldiers, marines and air force men have done. Straight-Forward Facts In addition to her own personal story, she writes about battle and death in a hard, straight-forward manner. She seems to have tried to place these scenes in proper perspective using bed-rock fact without spreading the horror in discriminately. Some excellent humor also spices her story amusing anec dotes of GI's correspondents and finally, officers who displayed norror at the fact that there were no "facilities" at the front or on a naval vessel for a woman. She ends with a sober warning that America may have to face a decade of war and austerity. But her hope still is in the heretofore "coddled" American people to take it in their stride to protect their liberties. "Victory," she writes, "will cost a lot too. But it will be cheaper than defeat." Man Behind Doctor Is Pathologist Who catches a doctor's mis takes? , According to an article by Greer Williams in The Saturday Evening Post, the little man behind the doctor is the pathologist.' "He has been called the doc' tor doctor and the watchdog of surgery," Williams snys, "but you get the full flavor of these char cateristics only when a surgeon confides that he couldn't do sci entific work without his patho logist." The pathologist, in Williams' opinion, is the man on the. other end of the question firing line. He is expected to examine an ap pendix or a section of stomach .and to determine what has hap pened and what will happen, Wil liams s tates. Is ti cancer? Will it spread? Is this tumor malignant? What is the prospect for the patient? These, the article says, are only a few of the questions a path ologist must answer. He also aids in "reducing those unexpected ' deaths that a times have arised hob in event the best surgical circles," Williams says. "In preparation for an opera tion, the pathologist acts as the surgeons' consultant on the con dition of the patient." - The Datholosist may work in tlie hospital or in a separate lab oratory where specimens may be mailed in from rural hospitals. In any case, hospitals, "to" be acceptable to the American Med ical Association and the Ameri can College of Surgeons must "dig up a pathologist . . . even on a mail order basis," according to the Post wrtier. , ' "The medical profession is cur rently in great need of more of this kind of doctor," he adds. By examining a quick frozen section of tissue the pathologist can report findings and make a diagnosis within six minutes while the patient is still under anesthe tic, Williams says. A pathologist's diagnosis, the writer continues, is most com monly desired to determine if can cer is present in tiuutes. This practices, according to Williams, give's " evidence of an increased interest among doctors i nthe di agnosis of the disease in its early treatable stages."

Permanent Art IV A JVi5 UllUtYll The University of Nebraska Art oaiienes announced today a special exhibition of paintings from the University's permanent collections in the main lounge of the Union. The exhibition will open Sunday, July 8, and will re main on view through July 27. Entitled "American Places," the exhibition is intended to illus trate one of the principal aspects of the development of twentieth century painting in the United States, the exploitation of sub-i jects which lie close at hand for rthe use of the painter, his native piace, tne scenes of his labor and leisure. Such themes are usually known under the title of regionalism and have motivated a major part of contemporary American art. In the present exhibition the visitor is taken to a wide variety of "American Places," the road side camp of John Steuart Curry, I the beach resort of Loren Mac Iver, McSorley's famous . tavern in New York as seen by Louis Bouche, and the scenic vastness of Lake Louise as seen by Henry Keller, in the 12 works which Fine Arts-V Graduates To Teach Some of the graduates of the school of fine arts who will put their college training to good use, have found teaching positions in Nebraska and out of state.
