Wayne Morse of Oregon said Tuesday morning before the 24th annual Honors Convocation at the University. "I think the first step necessary for the improvement of ethical standards in govern ment is to improve ethical standards of the grassroots of America," Senator Morse said. "It is not only true, as Jefferson said, that democracy can be no stronger than the enlightenment of its people, but it is also true that the ethical standards of the officials and employees of a democracy will not rise above the ethical standards of its people."

This was the conflict I ran into in the com pletely militarized emergency areas of Omaha Sunday. At that time, national guard and fifth army personnel were under orders not to allow women into any restricted areas. I was working as photographer and general assistant to Richard Thompson, Information writer photographer in the U.S. State Department We rather naively thought that his pass and a let ter from the commanding gen eral requesting that every cour tesy be shown to him and his party would be enough to get us past guards, iver can argue with a regular army sergeant with an order to carry out So we had to get an official pass declaring that I was a State Department employee and could travel in any Omaha area at any time.' This produced results although guards were obviously unhappy about letting me through. Once past the guards we discovered that the tension so characteristic of the past few days had almost disappeared. The only activity was watching levees and the receding flood waters. Small fires burned along the dikes, marking points where signal corps men manned tele phones. Barges loaded with crushed rock moved slowly along the Missouri while Salva tion Army workers kept us sup plied with chocolate bars, cold hot dogs and black coffee. In East Omaha, we found that; i . ii skeptical of the pass and we weren't troubled until the Douglas county sheriff questioned me at Jackie Sorenson, Sigma Phi Ep silon; Trishie Mayer, Phi Kappa Psi; Mildred Yeakley, Phi Gamma Delta; Cecilia Pinkerton, .Alpha Gamma Rho; Imogene Vickers, Theta Chi: Jean Loudon, Delta Tau Delta.

This motto expresses the object of this year's Engineers' Week which begins Thursday and lasts through Saturday. E-Week is designed to introduce visitors to the curriculum of the cojlege through displays, demon strations, movies and tours of every department. Emphasis is placed upon the educational op portunities that are offered. This year's speaker is John M. Clema, electrical, '30, whose topic is "The Engineer Before and After Graduation." Clema will speak at the an nual convocation on Friday at 11 a.m. at the Stuart theater. Clema was formerly managing editor and editor-in-chief of the Blue print; chairman of E-Week in 1930; chairman of the Engineer ing Publications board; and Engi neering Executive Board, Open house will be held Thursday from 2 to 6 p.m. and 7 to 10 p.m. The public is in vited. Starting point of the tour is Architectural hall, where programs will be distributed. Exhibits introduced in the tour are based on principles which, have a practical application in technical society.

Almost all engineering students are selling the ribbons for 15 cents each to help defray the expenses of Engineers' Week. Eight departments of the School of Engineering compete for the E Week plaque by trying to sell the most ribbons. The eight depart ments in the school are: Civil, electrical, agriculture, mechanical, architectural, chemical, military and engineering mechanics. Engineers Week will begin Thursday and last until Saturday. Open house is Thursday from 2 to 6 p.m. and 7 to 10 p.m. students were honored for ex cellence in scholarship. Sixty eight seniors possessing superior scholarship were individually honored on the stage- of the Coliseum. Winner of the C. W. Boucher memorial senior award was Warren Rasmussen. The award is given to the senior possessing the highest four-year grade av erage in the University. C. W. Boucher memorial sen ior athletic award, given to the senior participating in varsity athletics with the highest four year grade average provided it exceeds 84 per cent, went to Joe N. Gifford, while the C. W. Boucher senior ROTC award, given under the same conditions, went to Lyle D. Altman. The awards were established by Dr. C. W. Boucher, former Univers ity Chancellor. Senator Morse said that if our citizenry is "to be enlightened on the great issues that confront our country in this dark hour of crisis, then each individual in our citizenry must do more in dividual thinking about the problems which confront us." One of the sad facts which I see on the American scene today," Senator Morse said, "is that millions of our people have stopped thinking for themselves. Their taste for facts is being destroyed by the spices and relish that is being used to cover up the tainted, spoiled, insidious pro paganda that is being fed to the American people these days. The result is that the American people are starving for the want of a diet of high political ethics." Senator Morse described five major areas in which the dis crepancy between the kind of morals and character we have in government, and the kind we would like to have, come into sharp focus. 1. Our government is a repre sentative, republican form of government not a democracy, Senator Morse explained. This system provides that the repre sentatives of a free people in the Congress or in a legislature must act on the basis of facts to keep faith with the truth and to stand up against a temporary wave of public opinion char acterized by an emotional re action to propaganda misrepre- Continued on Page 4 TWENTY-THREE SINGERS Foreign Students To Lead Discussion A panel discussion by three for- Zi taS h leip itudenti will be featured great length.

I ine boys who can't take bows for their efforts are working ; night and day and have been i excused from Wednesday's I classes to work on the props, ; according to Marshall Kushner, construction crew worker. Kush ner said the workers' worst I problem is that they don't have any tune for dates. He cited the date problem as a cause of lowered; moral. Describing some of the diffi culties in making props, Kushner said they were almost finished painting a backdrop when they ran out of paint. He said they had to repaint the whole backdrop with another color. Another setback of the con struction crew concerned a plat form of which they were specially proud. The platform was to be used for the chorus to stand on. The first time it was used the platform collapsed from the weight of the chorus. This year's show is very col orful with a lot of good humor, reported Jerry Johnson, pro duction manager. "The show is well cast and there is a lot of good dancing," he said. Johnson said there are more scenes than in last year's show and the music is better known. Coeds in dancing roles are spending a fortune for soap, re ported MiKe lawlor. in charge of stage properties. Lawlor said the dancers have to do the "sDlits" in their dance and they pick up all the dirt on the floor on their legs. Lawlor said he ran Into trou ble locating props for the show. Finding enough revolvers and holsters was the big problem, he said. The backstage workers all a?ree that this year's show will be highly entertaining and very col orful. And, even though they won't be able to take a curtain call, they'll be there, working for a better show as hard as anvnn else.
