Here lies the University cam
pus. Rest in peace.
Like a siphon, the migration
to Colorado seemed to draw the
life from the campus. It began
Thursday when one by one stu
dents began to slip away. It
was announced loudly Friday
morning about 6 a.m. when a
car sped down fraternity row
with horn squealing, occupants
squealing and Cob, Tassel-sponsored
bells ringing.
In the class rooms large blocs
of empty seats testified that a
delegation had walked out. Even
examinations didn't seem to
make much difference.
In the office of The Daily Ne
braskan the five remaining
members of the staff listened to
the sympathies of departing col
leagues and tried to figure out a
way to do the work of the usual
twenty people.
Many students who did not
plan to attend the Colorado
game went home. After all, the
old home town might be just as
exciting as the silent campus.
For those who are attached to
the campus dead or alive there
were movies, quiet (for a
change) dance spots and the li
brary. A weekend like this could
have been a boon to those who
haven't had an extra minute to
see the Art exhibit, read a new
whodunit or just sit and stare
at the wall.
Sunday offered diverse activi
ties according to taste. If the
student felt quiet there was an

PHYSICS TEACHER
Former Refugee Praises
WSSF Work In France
By GARY SHERMAN
Staff Writer
"Student organizations gave
more aid in European refugee
camps than any other organiza
tion," according to Herbert Jehle
assistant professor of physics who
was in such a camp for over a
year.
Jehle like many Europeans
was forced to leave his home
land when the Germans came.
He fled to France when the
Germans i n v a d ed Belgium,
where be had been a physics j
teacher at the University of
Brussels. France was the only
country that had its door open
to refugees. Jehle, when he ar
rived in France, was put in a
camp controlled by the Vichy
government.
"Life during the first months
was simply a struggle to survive,'
he said. The mud stood in the
camp a foot deep.
One could not walk around as
he pleased under such conditions.
Sometimes the daily diet consisted
of only 600 calories. Disease and
filth were everywhere.
Two thousand people died dur
ing the first winter.
The camp was controlled by
the Vichy government under
France during the early years.
They ruled under international
rules but often had not the suf
ficient means to do so -effectively.
The camp director was
very often an incompetent indi
vidual who did not know what
was going on inside the camp.
It was worse Jehle remembers
when the Gestapo took over after
the invasion of France. The camp
director was a Gestapo agent or
Nazi collabrator. He ruled with
such force that it was impossible
for people to survive.
During the years of French and
Nazi rule, Jehle said student or
ganizations contributed tremen
dously to the relief of these peo
ple. Their first job was to make
organ recital. If he didn't, there
was a Young Democrats meet
ing.
The past weekend might well
have been a test for the self
sufficiency of the student. Was
it possible for a student to keep
from being bored when the
usual beehive of activity exist- '
ing for his entertainment moved
out?
Migrators Crash,
All Escape Injury
Six University coeds, members
of Alpha Omicron Pi, had a near
miss Thursday night.
The Colorado-bound students
were driving along the highway
near Lexington when they at
tempted to pass a truck. The
truck, without signalling, turned
into them. No one was injured.
The car, driven by Mary Ann
Nelson, was knocked into the ditch
and hit a telephone pole. The car
was compeltely demolished.
Mary Ann and her sister,
Evelyn, who was a passenger in
the car, were taken on to their
home in Scottsbluff by two Army
officers. The other passengers, Pat
Ptak, Jo Vanderhook, Shirley
Mead and Shirley Nash returned
to Lincoln by bus.
The girls suffered minor cuts
and bruises.

Ralph Bruce Emmons and Jer-
rold Lee Strasheim are the local
candidates for the Nebrahka
Rhodes Scholarship competition.
Four students who applied were
interviewed Thursday by the lo
cal committee and the winners
were announced by Dean Walter
W. Militzer of Arts and Sciences,
Friday.
Emmons ir a graduate student
in philosophy and Strasheim is a
second-year Law student. Both
are from Lincoln.
The University winners will
next be interviewed by a state
committee which will make its
preliminary selection on Dec. 10
and final selection will be made
by district committees on Dec. 13,
1952.
Thirty-two scholarships to Ox
ford University, valued at ap
proximately $2,400, will be
awarded on a national basis. The
scholarship is awarded for two
years with a possible third year
if the scholar's record at Oxford
and plan of study warrant such
an award.
In addition, scholars who
qualify under the G.I. bill or
other military educational funds
may use their benefits at Ox
ford on the same basis as at an
American university.
Richard Srb, '50, was awarded
a Rhodes Scholarship in 1949. He
was the last University student to
'win in the national competition.
contacts with the outside world
for immates. They made contacts
with their friends, relatives and
people who could get them out of
the country.
Such students were those of
the World Service Fund. Their
second job was to take books,
pencils, paper, first aid sup
plies and food to the camps.
Students could do this easily
because they were allowed to
go into the camps and work with
individuals.
Education, Jehle pointed out,
took up a great amount of the
time in camps. Some of the refu
gees got degrees while in the
camps. There were enough pro
fessors in the camps to do this.
Morale was very low at times
Jehle recalled and schooling
greatly rebuilt it.
Students from Switzerland
could contribute more to relief
than any others because they
were free to go wherever they
pleased since Switzerland was a
neutral country. However stu
dents from Sweden, Norway,
Belgium, Holland, France, Great
Britain, Canada and the United
States made contributions to re
lief. After the war, the countries who
first got back on their feet began
to help in the relief work pro
gram. Work in the German zones
consisted of helping people across
the "Iron Curtain."
In Asia, where most of the
work is now being done, the peo
ple of Korea have been the ob
ject of much aid.
Jehle escaped from France In
July 1941 and came to the
United States. Before coming to
Nebraska, he worked in the
physics departments of Prince
ton, Harvard and the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania.
Jehle said, "The work of WSSF
rested mostly on the shoulders of
the United States. This work
added greatly to their prestige.''
