Perhaps for few days about 200 worth of property and cash. Last year or a few weeks following the Incident, bouses are several houses lost valuable property and vary ing amounts of cash due to robberies.

Sent on an assignment to take pictures of some items they could have stolen from organized on their guard. But the vigilance soon relaxes and the houses are wide open again. Although The Nebraska hesitates to suggest presence ef thelves en any campus, Beverthe less, it realises from pest experiences that hesea are easy prey for robbers. Eaeh year some house loses rds sad eash or both, bat eaeh yew the heues fall to take soy precautions. It gets a little tiresome to hear of house rcb- houses, the two photographers found most places gjter year. Although they happen only wide open for looting. The most opportune time occasionally it is quite possible even the few could was during meal hour at women's nouses ana uie eliminated, at night at men's houses. The bounty could have included everything from women's clothes from second floor of one house, to a grand piano if they could have carried it End tables, small chairs, picture, trophies, books, eard tables, radios, mule, limps ail were easy pickings for anyone happening la. Fortunately, the two photographers were on a picture taking mission. If they had been robbers, they could have taken in quite a haul of easy loot. ' Hardly a year passes on this campus without A few precautions such as not leaving the house wide open when no one is there or not leaving doors wide open during meal times and late at night might help. In addition to putting a ciamp on actions of would-be robbers, such action might hinder efforts of campus pranksters. Overall, The Nebraskan discovered one sta ple fact.

The events which transpired during that nine week crusade are certainly noteworthy and are perhaps Indicative ef the attitude which the nation has toward its present problems. Billy held a series of nightly meetings in the Trouble is he has to go in and, National Guard Armory, the largest auditorium in drink up quite a batch every Fri- town, and the results were astounding. On the first day night so the place will be night 10)00 people attended the meeting, and there cleared for his weekly bath on were 205 converts. Each night following brought Saturday.

Preacher Graham made a dramatic At a time when corruption and vice seem rife on every hand, almost everyone is looking for a Sparkman of Alabama, Connelly of Texas, John son of South Carolina, Thye of Minnesota, Roey of Billy's home state, North Carolina, and Vice President Alben Barkley, who said to Graham ad miringly, "You're certainly rocking the old Capi tol." What Billy Graham was "reeking the Capi tol" with Is undoubtedly the most important thing of alL It would eoMetvably bo pofsfbte to draw large crowds if someone were to speak on the virtues ef the American people, or praise th goodness of our Congressmen, but Graham said none of these things. He did la fast quite the opposite, for as an evangelist he preach the all fashioned, fundamental and Biblical principle of human depravity as taught by" Calvin. "Of late, men have come to believe that religion has ho place in the affairs of s&te, he declared, "We have certain leaders who are materialists: they do not recognize God nor care for him; they spend their time in one round of parties after an other ... if this state of affairs continues, the who were taking notes and those who came because they wanted to. Heard a little story about a local student who keeps a still in his bathtub. (It's all right-he's 21.) what?

Another form of obtaining an swers by illegal means is the practice of getting fxrnH from class for a few minutes on the pre text of visiting the "little girls room," where, of course, notes have been conveniently left. And then, of course, there are those highly intelligent persons who use their brain power to devise bt genious means of cheating rather than spending the same amount of time doing a little studying. TVhea asked why they cheat, stadeafs come its with s variety of aaswers. "The test was se hard that n one could have passed ft wffhout cheatlag."

The only differ ence is in the r"irni"'- of the act. It is time that we wake up to reality and face the facts. We, the college students of today, are soon going to be the citizens of tomorrow. If we continue to cheat in school, we will continue to cheat in our carters, be they in business or government.

United States. And many people feel that there is Significantly, the legislators came, listened, and at least one man who knows how to do it That heeded these words as evidenced by the fact that when Graham called for a week day to be set aside for confession of sin, humiliation, repentance, and turning to God, the next day a motion was introduced in the House of Representatives calling for a day, other than a Sunday to be set aside for just such a purpose. Although Graham is not and does not pretend to be perfect, since he places ihimself in tha all inclusive category of those who are sinners, he has outlined a five point program, which he prom ises will bring peace and the blessing of God to this nation and world if adopted. 1. We must maintain strong military power for defense at any cost. . 2. We mast continue to expose crime and Irregularities in government, wherever they may be found, and enact strong ligislatiea to deal with them. 3. We must maintain our economic stability for security. 4. We mast continue confidence in eaeh ether race with race, creed with creed, color with color remembering that wo are all Americans and that America is i nattou that has made every man king. 5. We mast have a moral aad spiritaal regen eration. To prod ace this we mast meet Gad's demands; Kepeatanee of stas, tadtvidaal faith in Christ, natieaal humility, aad Baited prayer. This may be only "one man's opinion," but he speaks from a source which has proved true for move, and staged his Sunday afternoon meeting of Feb. 3 on the steps of the Capitol. Despite 4t degree temperature, wind and rain, an estimated 40,041 Washingtonians gathered to hear his answer to the national dilemma, and more than 5&t persona made their way to the front when Graham issued his invitation to make a "decision for Christ" When Graham left Wash ington, he had preached to audiences totaling 500,100 people, or about one third the population of the entire city. The recorded conversions numbered C.244.
