Needed: Marine Replacements
Last week, news came that Ivan Slote, a former
University student had jointed the roll of those
killed in Korea. He was not the first former Uni
versity student to die for his country; nor, sadly
enough, will he be the last. The war in Korea
rages on while United Nations and communist
ftprcsentatives haggle over truce terms.
I remember Ivan Slote, although I knew him
but slightly. We both went to Lincoln high school,
and I remember him as a master of ceremonies
gaily quipping during the annual Joy Night. When
Ivan came to the University, he
was still gay and full of life. He v
joined a fraternity and he took
part in several activities. Then, k
in June, 1950, the clouds of war
came to darken his life, as it
darkened so many others. In
January, 1951, he and some of
his Lincoln high school buddies
enlisted in the Marine corps dur
ing the height of the big draft
scare. Ivan left school to serve

are not certain. They are equally uncertain
that communism is being defeated at the same
time.
Every person fervently hopes that our national
leaders know what the outcome of the Korean
action will be; but here again, there is a frus
trated feeling of uncertainty. The Washington
wranglings over foreign policy have done noth
ing to strengthen the average citizen's confidence
in his government.
Likewise, the wrangling has brought no great
confidence among the American people that the
cause for which Ivan Slote and thousands of oth
ers died is worth-while.
I remember that as a high school student I
was greatly impressed by Sydney Carton's death

ing, to Gov. Val Peterson. He landed at Pusan, in "A Tale Of Two Cities." Carton died on the
Korea on Aug. 30, 1951. On Sept. 12, he was guillotine to save his friend, whom he closely re
sembled. That always seemed to me to be mak
ing death meaningful and valuable. Why did Ivan
Slote die? I don't 'enow.
Personally, I know nothing of the horrors of
war. I know only what the "big boys" have told
me. I was talking this summer with a marine
veteran who had just returned from Korea. He
remarked that here, in the United States and
in Nebraska, there were few signs of war. He
said that a person really had to be in the battle
rones to realize how horrible war actually is.
That seems to me terribly ironical. Here we are,
with our television sets, our new ears, our mod
ern conveniences, yes, and even our good food
and soft beds, while in Korea there is a IKe-and-death
struggle going on.

To the Editor:
Why the fence between An
drews and Morrill Hall? The En
gineers have enough trouble get
ting from Brace Lab to Bancroft
on time as it is, without someone
setting up an obstacle course in
the way. What purpose does it
propose to serve?
True: it will let the grass grow
over the unsightly trail which
students have worn diagonally
across the plot, but who can en
joy the beauty of a lawn through
a woven wire fence.
Throughout the rest of the
campus, sidewalks have been laid
wherever students traveled in
great numbers. Why not for the
engineers? They have plodded
through the mud on S street for
years, until the new street ana
sidewalk was laid this past summer.
I wish someone would explain
things. It just doesn't make sense
to me.

During the first World War, the United States

The Russians are waging an excellent war of

They keep us wondering and the more we wonder,
the more nervous we become. Coupled with a na

the result is one of frustration on the part of many
Americans, particularly college students.

Religion plays an important part in the lives

their religion. Or they may decide that they
will take advantage of other things and pick up
their religion after they get out of college. Some

the right thing in the end. "The greatest actor of

This little bit of humor was stolen from
one of our former University publications (may
it rest in peace), the Awgwan, which was a
humor magazine.
The vintage of the Awgwan issue is 1929
and goes something like this:
First student: Say, I saw a man swallow a
sword the other night Quite a feat!
Second student: That's nothing! I saw a man
inhale a camel!
I see that humor hasn't changed too much
over the years.
Here's the latest news (from the Iowa State
Ballyrot column dated Aug. 10) of the. world
today. Plato wrote it and I quote it:
of Bill Glassford's grid squad,
In the first place the freshmen
could not possibly offer a great
deal of resistance to the varsity.
Saturday was the first time they
had worked together as a unit in
a regulation game. Besides, their
drilling was undoubtedly not as
intensive as that of Glassford's
team. They simply didn't have the
time nor the large coaching staff
that the varsity possessed.
And although the University of
Kansas defeated Texas Christian
University ,it seems to me that
the Southwest conference school
can still be plenty dangerous to
the Huskers next Saturday.
It must be remembered that
Gil Bartosh, the Horned Frog's
great quarterback, saw very little
action against the Jayhawks, and
he is rated as being one of the
finest in Texas.
His fine passing could be a
death blow to Nebraska unless its!
pass defene has improved. And
the Texan could also come up
with some secret formations that
Glassford's team has never faced
before.
So let's stop being 60 optimistic
and face reality.
Sincerely,
A Fan.
