Fenske To Speak
At Sunday Forum
"Human Rights and the World
Struggle" will be the topic of a
forum scheduled for Sunday at
the Presbyterian Student House.
Paul Fenske, a 1952 University
graduate and past president of Ag
YMCA, will be the guest speaker.
He will speak on the forum sub-
ject,

f his experiences in a Work Pro1-!
'problem; if not that proposed by
the Innocents Society, then a simi
lar one. I believe that the houses
can contribute to the polio fund
and still provide a creditable
Homecoming display."
The solution which the Inno
cents have flugp.efited is donating
to polio relief the $5 fee paid by
houses upon entering Homecom
ing display competition. The
! houses would thus keep their
Homecoming funds inlact, while
the polio fund would still be sup
ported. Don Noble believed that "the
compromise proposed by the In
nocents Hwlcty Is poNlbly a step
In the right direction toward
a logical solution." He addetl,
however, "If more time and con
sultation were g-lven the prob
lem, probably a much finer and
better solution could result. Due
to the fact of the time element,
If the Innocents Society could
be aswured of the backlnf of the
organized houses, I feel that
posNlbly neither the polio fund
or Ilomecomhir would suffer."
"There is no harrier issue
ngnlnst which to compete than the
polio fund," snld Ira Epstein, "be
cause the need Js so great and be
cause Nebraska especially has
been hard hit."

Starting In 195C under the
title "The Biggest Show of
1950," the road show featured
only Nat "King" Cole and Sarah
Vaughn. This also held true of
the "Show of 1951." Kenton and
his orchestra have joined forces
with the show's initial stars for
the 1952 fall presentation.
Also included on the bill are
Stump and Stumpy, comedians
who traveled ,with the show last
year; George Kirby, mimic and
humorist; The Congaroos, dance
team; and Teddy Hale, dancer.
Featured with the Kenton or
chestra is Ma'ynard Ferguson, a
23-year-old Montreal trumpeter.
Ferguson is reputed to posses the
highest range of any trumpter in
the world and plays without any
mechanical changes in his instru
ment. Kenton has, for three consecu
tive years, won the title as the
nation's number one orchestra on
"Down Beat" magazine's popu
larity poll.
He formed his first band in 1941.
Since then he has caused much
controversy in the music world
because of his modern style and
stubborn musical ideas.
Nat "King" Cole has had his
name in the music world's ar
chives since 1937 when he first
formed his trio. Cole is most
noted for his recordings for
Capitol.
Sarah Vaughn started her ca
reer in music in 1943. She later
became a top night club enter
tainer. From there she went to
recording fame on Capitol Rec
ords.
The "Biggest Show" will make
a tour of all the major cities!
throughout the nation and is
planned to "be presented annually.
Union committees are being set
up to handle the preparations for
the scheduled Nebraska stop and
wm be announced at a later date.
Tickets may also be obtained at
Walt's Music Store and Haun's
Music Co. Mail orders will be
filled by the Union.

Dear Editor;
Following the Innocents meeting Monday eve
ning, a letterlp was submitted to The Dally Ne
braskan concerning the Homecoming House dis
plays. The purpose of the letterlp was to establish
a "stand" upon which we feel that both the Polio
Fund and Homecoming will benefit My purpose
In writing this letter is to somewhat clcarlfy the
Innocents' outlook on this issue. Bear in mind,
however, the the Innocents Society Is definitely
"one-sided" In their viewpoint, but 111 give it a
try.
(First) There Is no harder an Issue aralnst
which to compete than the Folio Fund, because
the need Is so great and because Nebraska
especially has been hard hit!
(Second) There ere so few really Nebraska Tra
ditions which ore or con be attended by our coun
terpart, the people of the State of Nebraska. The
only ones that I con think of ore Homecoming, "E"
Week, Farmer's Fair, and Ivy Day. Of these, it
seems thot Homecoming has the most state-wide
acclaim. I wouldn't however, place Nebraska's
Homecoming on the some level as Iowa Stale's
Vclshea Days in so fur as individual, state-wide
acclulm is concerned.
(Third) Let's look into the reasoning behind
the totul contribution of Homecoming funds to the
Polio Fund. The great need has definitely been es
tablished, but may there be other reasons also?

P. M. Headlines
SEOUL, KOREA Allied Infantrymen counterattacked against
the biggest Red drive of the year. They struck back at the 12,000
screaming Chinese Communists who attacked the White Horse Moun
tain front late Tuesday. Allied troops fought by the light of aerial
flares, searchlights and artillery shells in their attempt to regain the
vital outpost.
More than 1,100 Chinese were killed by the Allies on Arrow
head Ridge since the attacks were launched, reports from the front
said. More than 400 Communist troops had cut through the peri
meter of White Horse Mountain defenses, reports said. Fanatical
Chinese charged across a battlefield
the renewed assault.
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. The United States will ask the
United Nations General Assembly for blanket endorsement of its
prosecution of the Korean War. The move is designed to strengthen
its moral position in negotiations to end the war. For the first time
United States and her allies have
is to gain endorsement of what has been done so farfand reinforce
it with an appeal from the president of the Assembly to Communist
China and North Korea to end the war.
MOSCOW Gen. Dwight Eisenhower is an "Imperialist" and
American troops are close to Russia's Far Eastern frontiers a Com
munist party leader has warned fellow members. Speaking at the
19th Congress of the Soviet Communist party, A. N. Snechkus, sec-retarv-eeneral
of the Lithuanian Communist party, attacked the
general's stand on the Liberation of Baltic peoples,
The Republican candidate told American Legion members on
Aug. 25 that Baltic States and other Soviet satellites are "now suf-
focating under the Russian pall."
He said that America must come to aid of those once free peo
ples who still are dedicated to the idea of freedom. The general
was sharply criticized by the Democrats and Secretary of State
Dean Acheson for his remarks.
In a speech at Philadelphia on Sept. 4, Eisenhower said the
United States should aid freedom loving peoples "only by peaceful
means."
Snechkus told the Communist Congress "it is in vain that the
imperialist Eisenhower barks et the Lithuanian people in the hope
of enslaving Litthunnia."

mmecooTuiini
participating feel both needs equally as great
that the bomeeonring funds remain Intact and
that each individual member of these houses
contribute to the Folio Fund?
b. Could it be that it is much easier to extract
$50 from the house treasury than to spend a week
of hard work in preparation for this event?
c. Could it be that many organized houses which
find themselves not on the arranged pattern of
traffic routing firing the eve of Homecoming feel
that an Injustice is being done toward them and
that they now have a means by which to "release
themselves from the yoke?"
d. Or could it be that the idea of "our names

than in the other?
I am sure that if the Innocents Society and
the organized houses on campus knew these an

the presidents decided In favor
of this action.
The letter from the Innocents
was printed in the-Letterlp sec

campus traditions. It also said the
Innocent Society feels that Home

make it outstanding must never
be forgotten and yet neither
should this dreaded enemy of
mankind.
The letter suggested through its
proposal two birds could be killed
