P Debate
Victor Anderson and Robert
Crosby, Republican candidates for
governor, will present their beliefs
on state issues before students and
faculty Monday at 2 p.m. in the
Union ballroom.
Anderson, who attended the
University, is at present the mayor
of Lincoln, and past member of
the state legislature.
Crosby, from North Platte, at
tended the University and re
ceived his law degree from Har
vard Law school. He is a former
lieutenant governor and was
speaker of the Nebraska legisla
ture in 1943.
The stand taken by Anderson
Is briefly this:
1. There should be no increase
In taxes.
2. Job opportunities should be
created within the state so that
Nebraska will not continue to
suffer a loss in population due
to a lack of jobs.
3. Our schools should be kept
at the highest possible level
and the standards of the schools
in the surrounding sliates should
be maintained.
4. The highway commission
should contain representatives
from all sections of the state.
The governor will be the chair
man, and there will be one rep
resentative from each congres
sional district.
Anderson favors the Pick-Sloan
plan. Crosby favors a plan simi
lar to the Pick-Sloan plan. In op
position to the Missouri Valley
Authority, he favors a resources
plan controlled by the states in

Staff Writer
Every year, when state basket
ball tournament time rolls around,
the general student population on
the campus heaves a sigh and
plunges resignedly into the week
most enjoyed and most frustrat
ing in the whole year.
At this time thousands of high
school students mob the campus
only to trample their college sis
ter's and brother's toes, eat the
Lincoln restauranteurs out of or
into business and succeed in the
total dishevellment of the N-Club
concessioneers and Corn Cob
members, not to speak of the
ticket-akers and policemen.
Usually the campus gets
braced for the on-rush of these
ardent fans a day or two before
they are scheduled to arrive.

Sloan plan in that after the work
has been done by the Department
of Interior, it should be returned

Crosby also favors:
1. A bill sech as the Fair Em-
, ployment Practices Act as a
step toward breaking down ra
cial prejudice.
2. Administravtive reorgani
zation, as a means of econo
mizing. There has been no re
organization since 1919.
3. A two-year plan for road
reconstruction. He wants to sub
mit the plan to the people of
the state for their approval and
suggestions.
4. Emphasizing the cabinet
system with weekly meetings of
the governor and departmental
heads.
The program is being sponsored
by the Battle for Ballots commis

of the group is to study issues and
platforms of candidates for all of

procedures.
Moderator for the program will
be Doris Carlson, YWCA presi
dent. The program will consist of
a 10-minute speech by each can
didate and the remainder of the
time will be spent in questions and
answers.
The purpose of the program is
to acquaint the students and fac

interest in the forthcoming pri

Secretary Lovett attempted
to allay congressional fears
that the allies in Europe would
continue to "drag their feet"
in the rearmament program.
He said the first consideration
in granting aid moneys would
be the "performance" of these
allies.
Acheson said the Europeans
are doing their best and that
aid cuts "might well wreck"
the defense program.

Hinshaw ruin's
eiferase PSaim
How we can defend ourselves
against Communism so that it
meets the two tests of practic
ability and morality, was the key
note of an address by Dr. Cecil
Hinshaw Thursday. The speech
was part of pre-Search Week ac
tivities.
Hinshaw, former president of
William Penn college in Oska
loosa, Ia is a traveling lecturer
for the American Friends Serv
ice committee and the Fellow
ship of Reconciliation, and is a
leader in the Quaker church.
"There is no evidence that thf
armament race ran lpaH tn nparc "
he stated. "Armament races lead
to war, not peace."
The greater the power of de
struction, the greater the fear men
have. Fear brines about a lank
of rationality and eventually pre
cipitates a war, ne aaded.
Anouier point brought out by
Hinshaw was "if war comes,
cai we defend ourselves vic
toriously?" As an adverse argu
ment he cited General Eisen
hower's statement, that "our
civilization cannot survive an
other war."
In addition he remarked, "Civil
ization is not destroyed because
people are killed, not hprausp
property is destroyed, but through
wnai nappens in tne souls and
minds of people when they en
gage in war."
Twentv-one out of 23 civiliza
tions have killed themselves by
preparing for war, he added.
