tion would have to contain 500
student signatures and be sub
mitted to the general faculty
committee on student organiza
tions for approval. If approved,
the amendment to the constitu
tion would then be submitted
to a student vote. It would have

Further Council business in
cluded a report on the faculty
parking committee meeting. Rex
Messersmith, chairman of the stu
dent activities committee, reported
mittee voted out a Council-proposed
plan to return to non-seg
regated student-faculty parking.
Further recommendations
made by the committee were to
change the hour of free parking
to 1 p.m. Formerly it was 1:30
p.m. The committee suggested
that special cards be made
available to instructors who
found it necessary to deliver
equipment at different build
ings. These cards would be
placed in the windshield when
necessary.
Plans for next year's parking
plan include a modification of the
present system. It was suggested
that the faculty be given a choice
of whether they prefer a student
or faculty sticker. With this plan
it could be possible to limit fac
ulty parking to two or three lar
ger and less centrally located
lots, Council representatives said.
The American Institute of
Chemical Engineers constitution
was approved by the Council.
A more expansive program of United Nations
education is needed to reach the people of Ne-
I braska.
This was the theme of a discussion led by
C. Lloyd Bailey, executive director of the Na
tional Citizens' committee for United Nations
Day. He met in the Union Wednesday noon with
representatives from Nebraska University Coun
cil of World Affairs, Wesleyan University Inter
national Relations Club and Lincoln civic leaders
interested in the United 'Nations.
Bailey suggested an increased use of news
papers, radio and television. In addition to these
meal cooked in Brazilian style and talking to
lis plan used last year, built around the theme,
"Homes of the World." The plan involved a small
discussion group meeting in a home, having a
meal cooked in Brazilian style, and talking to
a Brazilian about his native country and its re
lations with the United States.

would provide excellent opportunities for usii
this type of gathering, it was pointed out.
Bailey also specifically recommended that ;
state organization for United Nations Day b
set up as was done last year under Mrs. W. H.
Hasebroock of West Point. He said the good work
of the organization was responsible for the fact
that 121 Nebraska communities cooperated as'
against 65 the year before.
Bailey complimented the group on the
"growth of interest in the United Nations which
you seem to have in Lincoln." He also noted
"Nebraska's outstanding participation" In the
worldwide observance of the United Nations Day
last Oct. 24.
However, he said that the objective was to
increase interest and to spread it to as many
towns as possible. Members of the group agreed
that lectures helped, but that only a few inter
ested persons would attend. Other methods will
have to be found to reach more people, it was
decided.

"Niemoller's Influence within
Germany is sliding downward,
however," Nichol wrote. "His
stand on 'neutrality' is increas
ingly unpopular, and his com
ments on life and religious- free
dom in the Soviet Union have
antagonized many Germans."
Niemoller was the subject of
recent controversy at Florida
Southern College in Lakeland.
Student leaders there claimed
that a chapel speech by Niemoller
was "un-American."
According to a Religious News
Service report from London, Nie
moller told a press conference
there that 34 years of Communism
have not extinguished religious
feelings in Russian people.
According to RNS, Niemoller,
in reporting on his one-week
trip to Moscow in January, said

tal. He said the Protestant

UNIVERSITY SYMPHONY
n
rein
Concert
The University symphony or
chestra, under the direction of
Emanuel Wishnow, will present
its annual spring concert at 4
p.m. Sunday in the Union ball
room. Beethoven's "Over ture to
Leonore No. 3" will be the
opening number. According to
a program note, "The third
overture to the opera Leonore
(Fidelio) is perhaps the best
known and more generally per
formed by symphony orches
tras." The 67-piece orchestra will
also play Gretry-Mottl's Ballet
Suite from "Cephale et Procris."
The suite consists of three
movements "Tambourin,"
Menuetto" and "Gigue."
After intermission the orches
tra will continue with Virgil
Thompson's "The Plow That
Broke the Plains." The score is
divided into six parts "Pre
lude," "Pastorale-Grass," "Cat
tle," "Blues Speculation,"
"Drought" and ::Devastation."
Music for the suite was taken
from a United States govern
ment film relating to the
drought and resultant dust bowl
of the middle west in the early
1930's. The film was directed
and prepared in 1935 by Pare
