I would like to think, in these days of Inter
national crises, that Abe Lincoln fought civil war
in 19t& century America because even then, in
dim light of the future, he sensed hearts and
minds of me and other 1931 American youths.
I should also like to believe that American
youth In the 21st century will be able to thank
God that we, youth today, recognised our task
and met It with courage and the foresight of
Lincoln.
We students at college now grew up during
one of the severest depressions experienced by
any natioa Many of us will not remember the
hardships. We only hear parents and friends speak
of them.
We lived through blood and hatred of
World War II, and most of us were untouched
unless we are veterans. We Just saw the smoke
and terror on the newsreels each week. Then
we saw the glorious days immediately follow
tag cessation of shooting when the world was
thankful, grow dark with new clouds.
And, today we are living through another
war.
I know it's not an official war. But the blood
that falls on -soils in Korea is the same color as
the blood that was shed at Anzio and Bataan.
And the hearts and dreams of men fighting in
Korea are not too much different from those who
fought in France or North Africa. Yes, we too,
are fighting for ourselves and future generations.
The pessimistic view is that each genera
tion will have to carry guns and pour lead into
fellow men. But we must be wary of the cynical
view and of those who read in history only the
story of man's mistakes.
Parallel to man's historical fight for conquest
is another strain. That strain is composed of men
who have fought to preserve freedom and who will
fight to prevent triumph of forces of evtt. Tales
of history can be read in a morbid light, and they
can be read with hopeful anticipation. We are
living in an exciting period, when great pages of
history are being made; we also are living through
good and bad history.
We won World War II to preserve freedoms
Now we fight again to prevent suppression of
peoples by tyrannical forces.
Last month we signed the Japanese peace
treaty with a nation that 10 years ago was our
bloody and bitter enemy. We set precedent. This
is the first treaty in modern history , where the
defeated nation was not forced to pay unrea
sonable war reparations. There was no "war
guilt" clause or hateful retaliation. The sov
reignty of the Japanese people was recognized.
This is a page of constructive history. Who would
even hope for such an attitude from Neville
Chamberlain or Lloyd George SO years ago?
We are members of the United Nations an
organization dedicated to maintainance of peace
and security among nations of the world. This is
where world powers may fight battles over a con
ference table rather than the battlefield. We may
not have complete confidence in the organization
yet, but as history shows, a happy ending only
follows a long, winding, bumpy path. The UN
gradually is passing these bumps and bypassing
roadblocks.
As peoples throughout the world, Univer
sity students will observe UN week beginning
today. Students should be interested in the body
which may decide whether the immediately
succeeding chapters of our history will be writ
ten in blood or the calm of peace.
There's literature at Love library in a special
UN booth. Thursday night a model Security Coun
cil session will take place where students will dis
cuss the Iranian oil dispute.
These programs are part of concrete evi
dence of 20th century youth's struggle for pre
servation of 21st century youth.

Open Sundays? . . .
Dear Mr. Rische:
I read with interest your edi
torial "Open on Sundays?" in
The Daily Nebraskan, Wednesday,
October 17th. Let me say at once
that I am in agreement with the
point of view expressed. At the
University of California in Berk
ely, I observed during the years
I worked there that the library
was heavily used Sunday aiter
noon and evening, sometimes more
heavily than at any other time
during the week. At the Univer
sity of Chicago, on the other hand,
the libraries were closed on bun
day and that is a great Univer
sity, too! . N
Sunday library hours in tne
Love Memorial library have
been considered several times
during the half dozen years we
have occupied the new build
ing. On each occasion it was
recognized that the cost would
be substantial In terms of pro
fessional, clerical, and student
help and custodial service and
that there were other aspects
of library service that were
even more urgently in need of
additional funds. Sunday hours
would require an addition of at
least $6,000 or $7,000 worth of
help.
Durine recent vears and. in
fact, during far too many recent
years since 1930, ths funds for the
purchase of books and periodicals
have been most inadequate to
serve the needs of several hun
dred faculty members and several
thousand students in some 50 to
60 departments of instruction and
research.
With help from an Increased
appropriation approved by the
last session of the state legisla
ture we believe that we have
now achieved at least minimum
adequacy in this respect Our
current periodical budget is
$30,000 and our current book
budget is $40,000. Rising costs
will force us to Increase the
periodical budget in the near
future by some $5,000 and the
urgent need to fill in some con
siderable gaps in the bookcol
leetion will push us to appro
priate an additional five or ten
thousand dollars for this pur-

Arthur Murray Instructors
To Teach Dancing At Union .
Dancing lessons are to be given at the Ag
Union starting next Wednesday. The instructors
are from the Arthur Murray studio, and will give
lessons every Wednesday for six weeks from 7:15
to 8:45 p.m.
This is only one of the many programs the
Ag Union is sponsoring. On Sunday afternoons at
4 o'clock a movie is shown in the Ag Union Lounge.
Wednesday afternoons at 4:30 the "Aggies Shag"
is held. "Aggies Shag" is an hour dance to which
all Ag student are invited.
Saturday Night Cabaret is becoming more
popular. About forty-five students attended the
last one which featured free dancing, television,
movies, card games, and ping pong. Everyone is
Invited to the Cabaret, and you may come with
or without dates.
Ag Union committees are planning a "For
Better Living Series" to include topics of interest
to students for present and future. Dates for the
discussions will be announced the first week in
November.
There are four Ag Union committees which
help plan many of the events held on Ag campus.
They are: general entertainment, dance committee,
arts and craft, and public relations.
General entertainment is in charge of spe
cial parties, ping , pong tournaments, discussion
groups, and movies. The dance committee spon
sors the Snowball dance and the Starlight Ter
race Ball. The arts and craft committee sponsors
hobby shows, craft classes, and art exhibits.
They would like to have a photo class with a
photography exhibit if they could find enough
interested students.
The public Telations committee works to co
ordinate the Ag Union with other campus organi
zations. The publicity committee publicizes Ag
Union events and other organizations upon request.
The hospitality section helps make Ag students
feel at home in the Ag Union.
' Ag Builders are having their final drive for
membership today and tomorrow. Student may
sign up for any of five committees. The commit
tees are parties and conventions; tours, sales,
publicity, and membership. The Ag Builders
are pi&nnlng to have their office in the Ag Union
open all day. From this office they Will handle
sales of tickets to all Ag College functions. Also,
they are planning to have the Ag TMCA lost
and found department located there, and they
will handle the distribution of the Cornhusker
Countryman to Ag students. '
AUF contributions on Ag are still lagging
far behind. Three organizations have contributed
100 per cent, and three others have contributed but
have not reached their goal. This leaves about
fifteen Ag organizations which have not replied
at all.

Simple Mathematics
For those who ha vent been subjected to
rigors of higher mathematics, here's a simple prob
lem. If there are 6.5&0 people, each of whom con
tributes two dollars, $13,000 has been given.
Here is another problem. With 6,500 available
people, only a little over $3,000 has been contri
buted to one of the worthiest campus causes, AUF.
When determining the goal which could be
reached by student contributions, AUF cut it
down to $5,600. Contributions of 77 cents per
student would push the drive overthe top in
ne day.
Sororities have been well versed in mathe
matics, for they know if each member donates
$2, the sorority gives 100 per cent At the present,
nine houses have given 100 per cent and sorority
contributions total $1533.48; more than half of
the fund's total donations.
Fraternities have given $387.60. Only five have
contributed 100 per cent
When I was about to enter the University,
I continually received literature telling about
the big family which existed on campus; the big
family consisted of both students and faculty
members. This big happy family bow baa oppor
tunity to show how it does work together for the
same cause and goal AUF.
Last year faculty members were solicited in
dividually by an AUF representative; the faculty
solicitation added $460 to last year's total of
$4,500. This year professors and instructors ex
pressed resentment of the former plans saying
that it took too much of their time. To cooperate,
AUF sent checks to all faculty members made out
to AUF for $2. Everything was filled out on the
checks except the faculty memb signature.
Instructors received the checks Friday. The result
of faculty contributions will show if the "too
much time" reason was the real excuse.
Money raised during this year's drive will
help needy students in Greece, the University
YM and YWCA, cancer society and tuberculosis
association.
The final week of the AUF drive is in prog
ress. There are five days to reach the goal. If AUF
doesn't reach its goal, mathematicians aren't the
only ones who will have trouble figuring out why
6,500 times two or one or even three-fourths
does not equal $5,000. People stricken with tuber
culosis, cancer and students in Greece hungry for
education will wonder, also.

Turkey Could Provide Secure Hold
On Dardanelles If Admitted To NATO
dSiudsuti
(JI&wAJtfwTkwA
In the early frustrating days of the Korean
war when many of the troops under the late Gen.
Walton Walker turned and fled before the com
muniets and when it was nothing unusual for
Mill W -" W MIIMMW14 U0.VO1 , M J
arrived Turkish brigade gave eighth army staff
officers a surprise by standing firm against the hu
man sea attacks of the reds. In one engagement
the brigade had not reported for so long that its
identification pins were removed from the head
quarters maps, only to be replaced In a couple of
days when it was discovered that the Turks had
completed an almost impossible withdrawal un
der fire, bringing out all their equipment except
their smashed radios.
It was this performance by Turkish troops in
Korea which, mere than anything else, led to
U. 8. fasistenee that Turkey be Included In the .
Atlantic pact family.
Turkey has been receiving many kinds of aid
from the U. S. for some time, but formal inclusion
ia NATO wi3 place her in line for further military
benefits. Up to the present time Turkey has re
ceived $759 million in Marshall plan and military
aid funds. Most of the Marshall plan aid went to
the farmers ia the form of badly needed tractors,
plows and harrows. This modern machinery, while
far from sufficient ia quantity, has helped raise
the grata crops more than S0 over the 1934-28
average.
Currently the Turkish army is being advised
by a larger V. S. military mission than we maintain
ia any other country, and this mission bas suc
ceeded in doubling the fire-power of the Turkish
units.
AlhKh iiroud and tmurb fhe Turkish amy
is still not adequate to defend its 367 miles of
Russian frontier against attack, and if Iran
should come under communist control another
290 miles of border would have to be patroled
by six, already thinly spread, armored brigades.
Obviously the fact that Turks make good fight
ers is cot reason enough for, us to get quite so far
out on the limb that is Asia Minor.
What, then, is the additional reason? From 1200
Dresent open 75 hours per week
If you were to undertake a sur
vey of comparable institutions in
the middle west you would prob
ably find this to be a low num
ber of hours by at least five or
ten. Nevertheless, its is almost
double a regular office week.
I would like to be assured j
that if we add Sunday after
immi and eveninc to the present
service schedule, the additional
expense to the University's
budget and the great inconven
ience to the library staff will be
justified. We cannot afford such
an expansion of service for the
convenience of a few doien
students out of the several
thousand now enrolled, On the
other hand, if there is now a
great need for this service
among hundreds of students
who would use the library if it
were available to them, we
should strain rive it serious
consideration.
If your interest is more than a
casual one, why not undertake a
poll among the students? The poll
would have to be conducted in
such a manner as to produce fig
ures that would have statistical
significance I hope you under
stand that term. If the results
were heavily in favor of an ex
tension of library hours, the case
could then be carried to the
Chancellor for consideration as
future operating budgets are written.
Sincerely yours,
Frank A. Lundy
Director of University
Libraries

to 1900 there was hardly a year when the Turkish iterview
sultan did not have an army in the field adding to
the great Ottoman Empire or defending it from
attack, and the cause of all the trouble was the
little body of water called the Dardanelles.
When the sultan was, banished ia 1968 follow- ,
ing a successful revolution, the Dardanelles were
still to be reckoned with because the nation
which controls this strait could and caa keep
the Russian Black Sea fleet at home as effec
tively as a cork In a bottle. The blood which
has beea let in the vicinity of the Dardanelles
and the intrigue they have fostered la the capi
tals of the world attest to their global impor
tance. Turkey is important to the western defense
picture for these two reasons; namely, that once
armament is completed we will have a 450,000
man outpost garrison on Europe's right flank, plus
a secure hold on the .vital Dardanelles.
