To Our Readers
In several editorial opinions recently, The Daily Nebraskan has
discussed the subject of student contributions to the National Foun
dation for Infantile Paralysis. Closely linked with this subject has
been the national collegiate movement begun in the Big-Seven by
the University of Kansas to give money earmarked for Homecoming
decorations to polio funds.
The Daily Nebraskan told its readers that Homecoming was
ft tradition worthy of being: kept on the campus and yet spoke
of the need for polio funds and other aid. To add to the already
confused matter came the All University Fund organization which
is preparing to launch its annual, concentrated charity drive.
When members of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity made the
first move on our campus and donated their Homecoming funds
to polio work, The Nebraskan offered its congratulations and in
formed its readers that any donations to the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis would bo accepted and forwarded by our of
fice. At this point, it seems vitally necessary to remind our read
ers that The Daily Nebraskan believes in the work of AUF, is
firmly convinced that the tradition of Homecoming should be re
tained and that any efforts financial or otherwise to help those
stricken with polio are unquestionably worthy.
Donations to the polio fund in whatever way deemed advisable
are an individual matter. Perhaps The Nebraskan will be criti
cized for taking a middle of the road course on this issue. But, as
we feel, this is not a subject for a crusade. We shall stand firm on
our news and editorial judgment. The question of contributions to
polio fund shall be regarded in the same light. R.R.
The price of the Student Direc
tory has gone up.
It has been announced that the
1952 edition-will sell for 65 cents.
The price has formerly been 50
cents. The reason for the price
increase is a 12 per cent raise in
the production cost without an in
crease in advertising rates. This
causes a loss that can only be
made up by increasing the price
of the Directory.
Nov. 1 is the date that has
tentatively been set as the time
the Student Directory will come
out. Sale of the Directory will
start Oct. 15.

tion is a branch of the University

one girl the difference between
Noah's Ark and Joan of Arc.
"Well," she said, "Noah's Ark
was made of wood and Joan of

never been able to figure out the

"Rally 'round the banner!" will
be the battle cry at a pep rally
scheduled for Friday night.
The big news concerning the
rally is yet to come, but in order
to give organized houses time to
prepare the rally committee is
announcing a new plan to build
spirit and increase attendance.
Every organized house is be
ing asked to make a banner
bearing the name of the house.
These should be of the type
carried in parades, with a pole
supporting each end of the ban
ner. The rally committee sug
gests that these banners be
made wide enough to just clear
a row of cars parked parallel
on each side of a street.
At the rally before the Iowa
State game the houses are asked
to rally as many of their mem
bers as possible around the ban
ner and join the crowd as it
passes their house.
The pep band will lead the
rally, the victory bell will be
next and the lines of Corn Cobs,
Tassels and Pepsters will fol
low in that order. The houses
are urged to line up, one be
hind another, after the Pep
sters have formed. This prac
tice will be followed at the re
mainder of the rallys this season.

Five out of 25 boils down to 15
in mathematics, but in the eyes of
the Coed Counselors it adds up to
a mighty slow reaction.
The counselors, traditional
sponsors of Fenny Carnival, an
nounced that Wednesday would
be the last day sketches and plans
for proposed Carnival booths
would be accepted for the elimi
nation judging.
According to the Carnival
Chairman, Sandra Daley, Tues
day afternoon showed that only
five out of a possible 25 plans
had been turned in.
Letters of information were sent
to 25 organized women's groups
announcing the date of Penny
Carnival as October 18 from 1 to
5 p.m. All of these groups were
invited and encouraged to use
their ingenuity in thinking up
carnival themes that could be used
in booths in the University Ball
room. A brief sketch or outline of
their ideas was requested lor ap
proval. From these plans, 16 will be
chosen to appear in the Ballroom
on Saturday, Oct. 18 to compete
for the traveling trophy, which,
was won by the Alpha Chi
Omega's last year.
Judging of the booths will be
on the basis of suitability to the
carnival theme; originality; at
tractiveness; and audience ap
peal. Three elected judges will
carry 60 per cent of the vote,
with the students constituting
the remaining 40 per cent.
A student, to be eligible to vote,
must visit at least six of the booths
and have his ticket punched at
each. Voting will take place from
2 until 4 p.m. and the winners will
be announced at 4:30 p.m. A first,
second, third place and an honor
able mention will be selected.
Penny Carnival is one of the
first activities of the year in
which it is traditional for new
women students on campus to
display their talents before the
student body.
It is customary that all work
done in connection with Penny
Carnival be the product of their
own imaginations and elbow
grease, from the original idea, to
the construction of the booth.

RUSSIAN TROOPS ARE NOW SERVING IN NORTH KOREA,
according to a highly placed U. S. Eighth Army officer. This offi
cer said in an interview that there are several thousand Russian
troops in rear areas serving as technicians and advisers and prob
ably manning modern rader-controlled anti-aircraft guns manufac
tured in the Soviet Union.
The officer cannot be identified but he holds a responsible
post that qualified him to speak authoritatively.
He conceded that some of these soldiers of caucausian origin
could be East Europeans from Soviet satellite countries. The of
ficer described the anti-aircraft battiers at Red airfields south of
the Antung bases in Manchuria as modern stuff. It is assumed
that some of the Russians are used to man these technical weapons.
Some information was gotten from a captured North Korean
officer. This Communist lieutenant, who was security officer at the
armistice site, said last Saturday that he had seen about 20 Russians
at the Sinjuijui airfield in June, 1951. The airfield is in North Korea
at the Manchurian border.
The North Korean also said that Russian advisers were attached
to the North Korean Army officers staff school and that he had heard
of Russian pilots flying Communist jets.
High ranking American officers nave stated that Kussian
speaking pilots have been heard by Allied airmen who overheard
radio messages. These statements concerning Red anti-aircraft
batteries were perhaps the first authoritative statement that Rus
sians probably were directing and firing: runs against United Na
tions fighters.
PRESIDENT TRUMAN has accused Gen. Dwight Eisenhower of
having endangered the country as commanding general of Europe
by grave "blunders" which left America unaware of Russia's threat
to world peace. v
He said Eisenhower's advice that he saw no reason why Russia
and the United States would not remain "the closest possible
friends" carried "great weight" and "did a great deal of harm."
The President said that "We wouldn't have had so much trou
ble in waking up the country to the danger of Communist imper
ialism in 1946 and 1947 and 1948 if Eisenhower had given better
advice.
He also complimented Rep. Mike Mansfield, Democratic candi
date for the Senate against Sen. Ecton (R-Mont) and Democratic
presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson for having known "that Com
munism was dangerous and that we had to take measures to stop it"
