G. Marr Talks
To YM About
Evils Of Radio
"The less appetizing moments of
radio programming are due to
seven deadly sins which those In
control of radio have committed."
This was the belief of Gaylord
Marr, instructor in radio and di
rector of radio laboratories at the
University, as he spoke to a group
of YMCA members Wednesday
night.
These sins, according to Marr,
are that radio very early sold
its body and soul to broadcasters
and is at the present time almost
completely controlled by adver
tising men, and that radio failed
to make use of its tremendous
More Ugly Men

.r stated that radio is con
tr ijd by greedy desires "the
( .u"!sMi:k for measuring pro
grams is a green one about six
I., i. -a Ions,.''
Still another one of the sins, he
said, is that radio has developed
deadly pictures of American cul
ture and its people that its imajfe
of the audience to which it is play
ing is far from true.
Finally, Marr brought out the
idea that the radio is cowardly
hesitating to displease any
group. By accepting the lov
common denominator it has
severely distorted reality, he
said.
Marr suggested, however, that
the entire responsibility cannot be
placed on the broadcasters and the
ad men. He explained that the lis
tening audiences have been quitely
accepting the substitution of "soap
operas" for grand opera.
He urged that all listeners exert
pressure by writing letters to let
stations know that they have an
intelligent opinion about thepro
grams they hear.

Foreign Students At University
Receive WSSF Assistance
By ANN GILLIGAN
Society Editor
"And how did you get to this
University?"
"I received a scholarship from
the World Student Service Fund."
This was the question asked
several foreign students at the
University, and this was the an
swer they gave.
Alfred Hassner, foreign stu
dent from Austria, attended the
University of Vienna before
coming to the University. While
in Vienna, he was told that
WSSF was offering scholarships.
He went to the WSSF branch
office in Vienna, where he was
told there were not many scholar
ships available.
The WSSF office told him there
might be a place for him at the
University of Nebraska. Alfred
had heard of the school; he knew
it was a big one. He applied and
received the scholarship.
His friends asked him where
he was going and Alfred replied,
"I'm going to the middle of the
world Nebraska,"
When asked how the University
of Nebraska compared to the Uni
versity of Vienna, Alfred said that
there are no campus activities at
Vienna.
"The buildings are all like each
other and like the rest of the
buildings of the town," Alfred
said.
He said that social organizations
were independent of the school.
Alfred said he had heard that
WSSF and other similar charity
organizations had offered books
and supplies to the Austrian
government to be used in their
universities.
Another foreign student said
that be had worked in the WSSF
office, and had learned of the
scholarships offered by that or
ganization. He applied for a scholarship
and was sent to the University of
Nebraska.
The student said that he still
cannot believe he will riot be fol
lowed everyplace he eoes. He
originally came from a Russian
occupied country.
These are just two examples of
students at the University who
have been helped by WSSF's pro
gram of mutual assistance.
WSSF receives financially aid
directly from students at the
University through AUF.
Last year University students
gave $2,000 to WSSF. This
money was used for a tubercu
losis center in Greece. Thirty
five per cent of the money col
lected by AUF this year will be
used by needy students in
Greece.
The establishment of mutual re
lationship between world-wide
universities Is already linking
them together. Such relationships
make participation in the world
university community direct and
enduring.

ISS is often confused with
IUS. The latter is the Interna
tional Union of Students and is
communist dominated, accord
ing to the seminar report. Israel
was the only nation which at
tended the conference and re
mained affiliated with IUS.
The seminar group differed in
religious matters as well as na
tionality. Hi n d u s, Moslems,
Catholics and Protestants lived
with agnostics and atheists.
Thus, the seminar was a lessson
in international understanding
and cooperation.
Students from all parts of the
world learned to respect the othor
fello wand his ideas. For some
delegates it was the first time
they had known people from
other nations and other faiths.
The seminar was the first
summer ISS to be held on the
North American continent. Pre
vious seminars have been held in
Germany, Holland and France.
Plans for future seminars are
not yet known.

Tourists See
Where AUF
Money Goes
Twenty-five University students

given.
At the Belmont center, students
saw recreation rooms for ping
pong and wrestling; gymnasium
for basketball, volleyball and
square dancing; handicraft and
woodwork shops for adults and
children and Boy and Girl Scout
rooms. About 1,500 people use the
center each month.
C. W. Heston, plant foreman for
Goodwill Industries, told the group
about the plant and how Com
munity Chest helps. He showed
them some of the clothes, toys,
rugs, shoes and paper made by the
handicapped and disabled workers.
At. St. Thomas' orphanage, the
students took a tour of classrooms,
sleeping dorms, parlors, play
rooms, chapel and kitchen.

Blood don't faint at the sight
of it!
That's one old idea about blood
that is slowly but surely dying
and a hard death at that. For a
long time, mention of blood has
made a deep impression on people.
Usually the sight of blood or
the loss of blood has been associ
ated with tragedy and death
Tragedy and death yes. But, i
recent years it has been turne;
into a fighter against those twt
dreads.
Knowledge about blood was a
long time in coming. From
early times, humans realized
blood was important even
though they didn't know in
what capacity.
At one time, blood was con
. sidered a rejuvenator or "Foun
tain of youth." Some ancient
Egyptians used blood baths in
an effort to restore health. Ro
mans were even said the have
gone as far as to rush Into the
arena to drink the blood of
dying gladiators.

'xternal process.
They were right on one score,
I have a reasonable amount of
blood taken from them without
"doing damage to their health in

That's where blood donors come

lood donors, another factor

Now, this thing doesn't
change the color of the blood
any. It's merely a classifica
tion of groups that scientists I
like A, B or even AB.
Now the process of giving
blood Is very painless. All it
takes is walking in, lying down
on a table for a few minutes
while they take a little of that
red stuff away from you that's
it.
Besides, the canteen along with

Russia Claims US Made Peace Appeal
MOSCOW The Russian
foreign offices announced that
the United State state depart
ment approached them with an
appeal for the Russians to end
the Korean war, but they re
jected the appeal. According
to the Russian story, U. S.
Ambassador Allan G. Kirk
gave a four-point note which
attempted to clarify the Amer
ican position in Korea to for
eign minister Andrei Vishin
sky about October 5. The note
stated, among other things,
that the U. S. had no aggres
sive intent, that we wanted to
end the fighting, and that we
wanted the cease-fire line
along the front, not along the
38th parallel. Vishinsky is
quoted as saying that the Rus
sian government had no faith
in the U. S. message because
President Truman had recently
declared that agreements with
Russia were valueless.
Secret diplomatic exchanges
are not usually made public,
and the state department is
reportedly boiling over Rus
sia's action. The Russian reply
to the note has been labeled
in this country as pure propa
ganda, which is just what the
reds called our note in the
first place.
Egyptian Troops Attack British Convoy
EGYPT More violence
rocked the Suez canal area as
a British convoy was attacked

'British army command or

to all Egyptians, preventing
communication between Egypt
proper and Egyptian territory
on the Palestine side of the
canal. Gen. Sir Brian Robert
son, British commander in the
middle east, hurried to the
scene to take command of the
40,000 British troops in the
