They've gone to the considerable gain. Thancellor and they have his support. They're petting up a long-range program that might have N some continuity from year to year. They're busy. And who are these Industrious people? None " "other than the members of the class councils and ' the Junior and Senior class officers. None other than those people whose titles used to be purely honorary roads to political fame or Ivy Day glory. Maybe they're living in glass houses, seeing their collegiate world through rose-colored glasses, setting up hypothetical work for themselves and classes to come. Perhaps they will search dili- gently for work, for projects, for money, for class spirit, for enthusiasm and find their searching all in vain. What would be the results of a Junior-Sen- - ior class picnic? What is the purpose of a Jun "'. lor-Senior prom? What is to be gained through awarding of a senior scholarship' trophy on Ivy ...I-Day? What virtue might lie in a united, spirited ;r. student bodyand particularly Junior and Sen ior 'classes Some people might call it busy work, non- profitable and silly but The Daily Nebraskan begs to differ. The University offers us student? xne A senior class spokesman expressed to The Nebraskan that three factors detrimental to the functioning of past class officers and councils and vitally necessary for their development have been added to the credit side of this year's work. Financial backing for the classes, a legal foundation for the existence of the councils and student interest to keep the councils going are these three factors. Chancellor Gustavson is work ing on getting financial backing for the classes and the .officers and council members will be sell ing graduation announcements this next spring. A constitution for the 'Junior-Senior Class Board" has been drawn up, revised and is nearly ready to be brought up for Student Council action. And 52 persons a record number applied for po sitions on the councils this year1 all agreeing in interview to work on committees if not chosen for 1he councils. So it looks like orchids for the class officials. We would like to call them early orchids. The work thus far this year perhaps labeled "school spirit" appears, from this angle, to be sincere, I concentrated and worthwhile. The class councils and class officers can be of Letterip Pea Section . . Dear Editor: Could you deliver a message to the Corn Cobs and Tassels either personally or through the medium of your papers? I want to ask them if they weren't proud of their team in the game Saturday against Iowa. Surely they were also mighty proud of the band. Yet, I wonder how they would have en joyed seeing part of the players in blue outfits, some in green, some in other colors? . When the band marched on the field how would they have liked seeing some in blue jeans, some In various tfther outfits? How would they like to have a few "tin pan" players walk along with the band just so they could be with their "fellows" or "gals?" Well, this Saturday someone who has authority should sit across from the "red and white" section. When I was in school it was an honor to sit there come rain, shine, A Student Looks Toward Politics Foreign Policy - By KEN RYSTROM Managing Editor (This Is the second and final article on the place of foreign policy In the current political campaign. It is the third In a series of columns Investigating campaign issues.) The two major points on which the two Presi dential candidates disagree in the field of foreign policy, as was noted Wednesday, are: 1. Eisenhower's "liberation" policy versus Stevenson's "negotiation" policy. 2. The place Korea and Asia should play in foreign policy planning. The first point was discussed in Wednesday's tunA Announced to all the world that it has writ ten off most of the Far East as beyond our direct concern." The Democrats. In "How to Win in ,52," their campaign handbook, answer simply, "We are fighting In Korea to prevent World War III. They declare they have halted aggression . . , "have taught them (the Reds) that aggression's price comes dreadfully high." They admit that mistakes were made in the formulation of Korean policy prior to 1950, but lay the blame on bipartisan decisions. The handbook says: "On Sept. 26, 1947, the Joint Chiefs of Staff article.

R. R. Here's Your Pub Board You, the students on this campus, have three new representatives on the Board of Student Pub lications. They will serve, with four faculty mem " bers and a publications advisor, in an advisory position for publications and select the staffs for The Nebraskan and The Cornhusker. These new members were chosen by inter views before the Student Council and these in--.'. terviews brought out the fact that most of the do think that, if nothing is said to the contrary, - Board positions do not know exactly what that "- board is. Since The Nebraskan sincerely feels . . that the board is one of the most powerful on the campus, we would like to outline exactly the policies whfch it has followed in the past and L". -and make a few suggestions for the future. ! .We feel that the Board of Publications has relied to too great an extent on interviews to find '".'.'the problems of its wards. The faculty members in particular have never made it a habit to fre- tjuent our offices. Many of these members have never been seen here. The student members have ', pot been quite this negligent, and we hope that the "Hw members will be even better. Since, actually, this is your newspaper and your yearbook. The Nebraskan would like to ask you students if you think that the board is serving the school like it should. The primary duty of the board is to pick the student staffs for these publications. How can this duty be performed efficiently the way it Is handled sow? The present method involves in terviews during which the applicants have to - present their policies for a semester. They have to try to tell how well they are able to perform . " the necessary duties of running a student pub- Ucation. It might be argued that anyone could get a fair idea about how the publications are doing by just reading them. But this method does not show who is doing the most work. The Nebraskan invites the new members and the faculty members to come to our offices at any time and pee first hand how we are running things likewise, we invite you students to come down to our offices in the basement of the Union and see how we operate. It is your newspaper and you are helping pay for it As stockholders in the publications, you also have an interest in the board that supervises those publications. The Nebraskan does not think that it is wise to say that the Pub Board this year will follow the path taken in the past. However, we do think that, if nothing is said to the contrary, this is very apt to happen. We would like to say that the board has never attempted to interfere with the editorial policy of The Nebraskan. For this we congrau late it If it did, The Nebraskan would object, and loudly. However, we feel that the board has taken just the opposite view of its job; it seems to profess a hands off policy. or cold wind. We were proud of :strength-time which the Democrats believe they that the South Korean forces were equipped. trained and ready to take over. The Democrats and the Republicans both charge that members of the other party were re sponsible for sabotaging Korean aid. Both sides point to the record. our players, of our band and of our cheering section. A good share of the time that "N" that should be honored looked like a "blurb" of color. Many people talked about how careless they were to let such a situation occur. One person said, "A person who sits there and shouldn't be there, or who won't wear the correct colors should pay a $10 fine. Whynot straighten out the mess? If Corn Cobs or Tassel mem bers aren't proud enough of the group and their school to sit in the correct section or wear the colors assigned to them, why not kick them out there are others who would gladly take their places. A FORMER GRAD. Voting ... (Editor's Note: The following letter was submitted to The Daily Nebraskan in an effort to inform students how to vote. The Nebras kan, has, from time to time, at tempted to bring such informa tion to the attention to the stu dent body through its news columns.) have used well. Most of this strength, aside from general defense planning, has been developed in Europe beginning as early as 1947 with the Tru man Doctrine and the Marshall Plan and continu ing through the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza tion, Mutual Security Agency and Point Four. Thousands of American troops were sent to Europe as part of these programs. Republicans, however "sponsored and led the fight far adoption of a resolution that warned the President he could not send additional troops to Europe without congressional approval," ac cording to "Republican Accomplishments in the Eighty -second Congress, published by Congres sional Republicans." The pamphlet goes on to say, "Republicans want no more 'Truman wars' like Korea where the Democrat President, without authority of Consti tution or law, plunged us into a bloody conflict." In their platforms, Republicans attack the "Europe First" policy of the Administration, say ing, "The peoples of the Far East who are not under Communist control find it difficult to sus tain their morale ts they contrast Russia's 'Asia First' policy with the 'Asia Last' policy of those in control of the Administration now in power." In 1948 only 51 per cent of the eligible voters voted and it is ex- u. rvtPrt that fhA norrontaoo will rVU,CU" Gen. Eisenhower has declared, "Seven years after victory in World War II this Administration has bungled us perilously close to World War III A Choice pected only slightly increase this year. Probably one of the main reasons why citizens who have just be come 21 do not vote is because of their lack of voting informa tion. As students, the situation is further complicated by living away from home. If you have recently become 21 and have not registered, here is China The Republican platform declares that the Democratic leaders "required the National Govern ment of China to surrender to Manchuria with its strategic ports and railroads to the control of Com munist Russia. They urged that Communists be taken into the Chinese Government and its mili tary forces. And finally they denied military aid that had been authorized by Congress and which was crucially needed." The campaign handbooks labels China as "a loss and a lesson," but declares that "Chiang Kai shek lost China in spite of tremendous American aid. Loss of China to Communism occurred be cause the Chinese people were war-weary, hungry and disgusted. Chiang and the men around him refused to reform and Chiang's dispirited troops wouldn't fight . . . Loss of China did not come because of insufficient U.S. aid . . I "Nothing except the ending of an American expeditionary force to China could have prevented ultimate Communist victory," Gov. Stevenson has decalred. . . . Why are we at war in Korea? . . .

The registration blank should Despite the similarity of the two platforms, the Democratic and Republican parties appear to dif fer on the two points which have been discussed during these two articles. The lines are still in the process of being drawn, however. The candidates will undoubtedly further clarify their stands dur ing the remaining weeks of the campaign. Details, as they disclose them, will probably follow the general outline that has been drawn thus far. If so, the voters will have a definite choice to make on foreign policy. good year.

Notes On Half-Notes Top Names In Musk Schedule Appearances In Lincoln Area State Of The University . A "fellow-student" spoke to University students Wednesday morning in rather a "coffee-hour" at- - moiphere about the state of their nation their " University. His manner of speaking indicated a "these are our problems" attitude. This fellow-student Chancellor R. G. Gustav son was presenting his semi-annual report to the student body on the affairs of their University. He presented his hopes for the future of this in stitution along with his aspirations for the futures of its students. From athletics intramural to inter-collegiate, aiito the progress cf Agriculture College went the Chancellor's remarks. Gustavson spoke of the - - University plan for new dormitories to house J approximately 900 men and of official bouse list ing for an equal number of students. The ad vancement of the cause of group living were cited by the Chancellor in this instance. Tennis courts to facilitate all University stu- ijents with "healthful exercise" for all from 4 Z pm. until sundown was suggested by this fellow- student in his report to his constituency. The growth of intra-mural sports waj encouraged by "Z him. High integrity in the athletic department was proposed by Gustavson as the "de-emphasis" so il lution. Z Ways of bringing more students to the Univer- " sity through perhaps reduced tuition, a medical college with full-time, paid staff members, an Ag Z riculture College serving the state and the nation, research ia the science departments, and the inte Z gration of man into society through study in the Arts and Science College all of these subjects were discussed by the Chancellor. Z In answer to "What's Ahead," the title of his address, Gustavson sees an "interesting and chal- lenging period in the life of the University . . . Z. "with maximum opportunity" for students to be " come "great citizens.'' z Several problems of admistration were brought Z to the attention of the students. The hopes of the University's leaders were laid out for the students Z to see. The Chancellor perhaps did not make any Z earth-shaking statements. He undoubtedly did not set any worlds on fire with his speech. I Bat the Chancellor of our University did Z speak with honesty and sincerity to his students. We do know more about what Is going on in the Z administrative offices.

In my Fogel estimation, his new outfit is tops. The type of music he pre sented is much the same as the Basle of old, but his arranging and effects are much advanced. In spots he sounded like the Charlie Barnett crew when Barnett was playing music like "III Wind" and "Portrait of Edward Kenny Ellington." Most of Basle's instrumental were applauded enthusiastically both during and after the bit. Two sparkling performances were given by Paul Qulnichette and Eddie Davis, members of the Sax section. At times they had the entire audience jumping. Then when George Shearing was introduced, a hush came over. the crowd and they settled nacK for some wonderful listening.

Later George told some stories, some clean and some funny. He introduced the quintet, and then to the surprise of many, he pre sented his new vocalist, Teddy King. She sang a couple of sides, one of which was "Love is Where You Find It," and she was very good. Her singing style reminded me a great deal of June Christie. As far as the quintet is concerned, however, it's like adding good to excellent. I don't feel she is needed. Mr. "B' received an enthusi astic ovation and presented sev eral hit tunes.
