THE DAILY NEBRASKAN EDITORIAL PAGE : Yankee Interference Thursday, February 21, 1952 The "Yankee" student newspaper at Iowa State college and the Daily Tar Heel at the University of North Carolina have been carrying on an inter esting editorial feud regarding segregation at the southern university. When North Carolina's law school voted to hold nnsegregated dances (the action later was nullified by the faculty) the Iowa State Dally commended the school in editorial columns. The Iowa editor wrote: "... we think the Tar Heel's philosophy about a 'student is a student fits. Perhaps someday it will be a 'man is a man.' " The southern paper responded with: "All of which goes to show that our Yankee friends con tinue in their interest and advice in our affairs." This brought the following reply by the Iowa newspaper: . . we're a little tired of southern complaints of Yankee interference in what the Tar Heel is pleased to describe as 'our affairs.' They are not your affairs, sir. They are our affairs as well. The constitution belongs to all of us and we have a right, whether the south likes it or not, to object to violations of its spirit and letter. . . , States duties go hand In hand with states' rights. So long as southerners continue to put up two boards In their public square listing names of their men in service one for Negroes and one for whites so long will northerners continue to protest. And if the Tar Heel doesn't like It, they had better do something about it themselves." The Iowan editorial concludes: "As long as progressive southerners continue in that (referring to action by the oldest literary and debating so ciety calling for repeal of all North Carolina segre gation laws) we'll applaud them." The Iowa State Daily editorials contain some sound points. The responsibility for equality of all citizens withir our borders rests with all citi zens throughout the country. But we can't throw too many stones. Our own house is not strong enough, for we do not always practice what we so easily recommend to others. Last weekend, this editor was visiting the University of Denver campus. One restaurant had "reserved" signs on most tables but the Ne braska delegation was permitted to sit at one of these tables. Upon inquiry, it was discovered the signs were merely placed for convenience should Negroes walk in. We do not have to travel 500 miles to find discriminatory practices. They exist in Lincoln also. The Nebraskan applauds Iowa's stand. But we also remind ourselves that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw too many stones. J.K.

Although a Nationalist, Speaking at Westminster Presbyterian church Ko malntains that. despite our opposition to the and durin discussions Sundav afternoon th Chinese Reds, recognition would have strengthened chairman of the department of Oriental studies at the State University of Iowa declared himself a pacifist Chinese style. The Chinese concept of peace, he said, is not passive, but active. Armed force is to be used whenever and wherever neces sary. In his Sunday morning sermon Koo main tained that the moral and economie evils' of war are not enough to keep peace. Applying the theory of an ancient Chinese philosopher to 1952, he declared that a force strong enough to meet any aggressor's forces must possessed by the United Nations if peace is to become a reality. The Korean war, he added, is an attempt to develop such a force. If the attempt is not suc cessful, he said, free nations of the world must try again and again, if necessary until they finally possess suffilcent strength to maintain an aggressive peace. Continuing Ms idea of a "maintained peace," the Western cause. His reasons for such a move are: 1. The United States could maintain some de gree of contact with the Chinese people. Such contact is not now possible through Chiang's government, which certainly does not represent the majority of the nation's population. 2. Recognition of the government would have lessened the Communists' need to turn to Rus sia as a source of aid. This argument, he de clared, rests mainly upon the two cliques within the Chinese Communist movement the National Communists and the International Communists. Since the defeat of Chiang, the Internationalists the Moscow Reds have gained strength through importation of Russian-built equipment. With this equipment the Internationalists are se curing control over the Chinese armies and thus over the entire government. The second plan for action would have closely Mrs. Prince Helpful Dear Editor: The letter criticizing the chair man of the Board of Control that appeared in The Daily Nebraskan issue of Feb. 19 was written with out the knowledge of the chair man of the department of Sociol ogy and Anthropology. The letter did not speak for the department and it is unfortunate that the de partment was referred to in the letter. The Department of Socl ology has no administrative rela tionship with the Graduate School of Social Work, I have on various occasions con ferred with Mrs. Prince and other members cf the board about mat' ters of mutual interest, and these conferences have always been congenial and, at least from my point of view, helpful. JAMES M. REINHARDT Chairman, Department of Sociology and Anthropology Library Replies I am glad to have an oppor tunity to reply to your editorial note in The Daily Nebraskan for Feb. 19 regarding library service. I should like to offer a few items of information to the students. Plans for the book deposit slot on the first floor of Love Library were initiated some weeks ago an are under way. This is a project which can not be completed in a few weeks, since it entails a change in the entrance door which must be approved by an architect, and other details to be worked out by the Division of Buildings and Grounds. The question of Sunday opening has the support of the library ad ministration, and the details are being carefully considered. This again is a project which reauires long-range planning and budge tary provision. The plan will be implemented if it is found feasible. Little Man On Campus By Bibler What Am A high-nosed literary Koo suggested a number of opportunities when the paralleled General MacArthur's suggestion of in United States and the United Nations could have vading the Chinese east coast with Chiang's men employed direct action toward peace in China and American equipment.

Lynn Kunkle, chairman of the Union convocation committee, has announced that classes will be dismissed. The instructors will not be at fault Tuesday if the audience is small at Herbert Agar's address on "What Are We Defending?" The convocation is in the Coli aeum which invalidates the comment: "There wasn't enough room in the Union ballroom, so I ooffeed Instead." Lincoln was fortunate this week to be able to fr0111 the Communist grip, demonstrate, practically, the principles of Brother- -A hood Week. The DePaur Infantry chorus, a male choral ensemble of Negroes, presented a concert Tuesday night to a large audience of Lincolnites. This group of Negroes runs into racial barriers on tours around the country. The words of conductor Leonard DePaur strike home to a city that is no paragon --understanding: feels, would have had great possibility of success immediately after the Chinese joined the North Koreans. The crack sixth army, which was pulled from the east coast sector for operations in Korea, left the area virtually undefended. If Chiang could have landed on the mainland, Koo said, he probab ly could have rallied enough support from the Chinese people and former Nationalist soldiers at least to keep the Chinese off balance, if not to make sizeable gains. At present, Koo said, invasion is practically impossible because during the last year Commun ists have built a large number of air bases along the coast Air superiority, a necessary factor for a landing, would now be close to impossible. Except in the event of a third world war when Nationalist forces on Formosa might be used to open a second front Koo is inclined to forget the generalissimo in any attempt to free China JUL might call Daphne du Maurier's We need Rom rlarifipotinn fmminewest novel, "Mj Cousin Ra- you as to what you mean by the'che1-" 8 story of romantic intrigue, statement that we "h mn fomiTo the novice, it spells plain mys- liar with what books have been,iery wim 8 placed on reserve by instructors." , salt-shaker or Although there is no doubt of the two or three) familiarity of librarians in th.

With regard to the question of control of books leaving the li brary and the unavailability of given titles, we think possibly you exaggerate in your statement that you can blame the checkers who are responsible for hundreds of books a week which pass under their noses." We realize that our control system is by no means per fect, but we are also reasonably sure that control students are not responsible for "hundreds of books a week" leaving the library with out being charged. On the other hand, if you have factual informa tion of books being purposely slipped by the control desks with out being charge out, we should greatly appreciate your coopera tion in trying to stop this abuse of library privileges.

It dealt with, ra ther unkindly, another article which Humphrey Bogart wrote for This Week maga zine saying that women pre fer the older lover, the life-begins-at-40-swain. According to the lad who wrote the blast, the picture women con jure when they hear the phrase "Young Lover" is one of the average young college beau with his usual financial shortcomings. He says women think of " a snake pit Don Jaun or a Slop Shot Valentino." To them the "older lover" is Clark Gable, Charles Boyer, Ezio Pinza or Tommy Man ville . . . men held up by money, plastic surgery and padding.

Ambrose's affection for his wife suddenly begins to cool, as Fhilip, his cousin, de tects from his letters.

I don't know whether there is any connection but I notice that since she did not ect atmosphere as "Rebecca," Miss!ary contact lenses, she no longer thinks may be a cover-up for her plans to kill him and get his estate. "My Cousin Rachel" is a haunt ing story, told in the same moody du Maurier's first novel. The Cornish estate mentioned here is actually the author's English home which has fascinated her so com pletely that she used it for the setting of two other stories, "Re becca" and "The King's General.' Although it will probably not have the same impact upon the reading public as "Rebecca" originally did, no one will easily forget Rachel's hypnotic charm around which the plot is woven.

Da Koo's aggressive peace philosophy, until re cent years, would have been laughed at by all but the most militaristic nations. Even today Ameri cans, at least, hesitate to supoprt a policy of armed warfare.
