Wednesday, November 5, 1952 Paae 2 EDITORIAL PAGE NU At UN Approximately 30 University students will board a bus at 2 p.m. next Tuesday and begin a trip which will take them into the chambers of the first reasonably successful organization of world government. For these students, its is a chance of a lifetime. They will attend a YM-YWCA sponsored United Nations seminar at the UNi world head quarters In New York City. The Y's have planned a program complete with Interviews with foreign delations, International student discussions, an International student party and guided tours of New York. The sponsors have also arranged for Inexpensive lodging olose to the activities. At the University, Sam Gibson, executive secretary of the campus YMCA, and Janice Osburn, director of the YWCA, have out done themselves In making- preparations for a successful trip. The Nebraskan wishes to congratulate the per sons responsible both in Lincoln and New York for making this trip available. Furthermore, we wish to point to the response that Nebraska students at the University of Nebraska, Nebraska Wesleyan University and Doane College have shown. When the Nebraska sponsors first planned the event, they were hoping that they could get a carload. Then, It looked as If it might be possible to charter a bus; but bus companies required a minimum of 25 passengers. Applications kept pouring in and now it seems quite possible that 35 students will make the trip. tTo The Nebraskan, this Interest In world af fairs is highly significant. Nebraska has Ions: had the label and It certainly has earned it of being- ultra-conservative. We have elected such senators as Hugh Butler and the late Ken neth Wherry. The midlands are considered the heartbed of Isolationism. Yet, more than 30 very busy college students are Interested enough In world affairs that they will drop their books and their other activities to attend a United Na tions seminar in mid-semester. Actually, It Isn't Just a matter of dropping- the things that often get tiresome anyway, the matter of cash Is very important. Many of the students- attending the seminar will have to sacrifice a great deal to be able to afford the trip. The purpose of this editorial Is not to work up sympathy for the poor students who are sacri ficing to make the trip they are to be envied rather than given sympathy. The Nebraskan rather, is trying to point out that maybe the iso lationist midlands are in the process of corning out of their cave. Maybe this younger feneration has opened its eyes to the fact that the only way to live with our modern technology is to broaden our boundaries to include the whole world. Maybe the hoax that America can get along just fine by minding its own business is gradually disappear ing. There are certainly evidences that this Is hap pening. When the Republicans long the prime exponents of isolationism decided to nominate a man cognizant of world politics, the first real step toward defeating this hoax was taken. The fact that students agree with this new trend can be seen by their votes during the mock primary. They selected Elsenhower over the symbol of GOP isolationism, Bob Taft. So did the Republican Convention. This trend is most healthy. It is aided by the enlightened work of the YMCA and YWCA and a myriad of other organizations who see that today's problems are world problems. Opportuni ties such as the Y's have offered Nebraska stu dents in this trip, are just the thing to further in fluence young Americans into the correct chan nels of thought. This movement is not partisan. It has a def inite place in both parties today and we pre dict that it will have an even more important part in years to come. There just isn't any other way. D.P. Lejterip Faculty Funds ... Dear Editor, On behalf of the All University Fund Board I would like to thank faculty members for the contribu tions so generously given in our drive. This year the faculty divi sion contributed a total of $644.50 which is more than has been re ceived in previous years. Thank you again for your fine cooperation. Sincerely, SALLY JO SPEICHER Once Over Lightly Just Around 'Biggest Social Weekend' Features Costume Parties, Open Houses Jan Steffen Harry From Here When President Truman retires next January, he will join the list of generally forgotten, dis illusioned men who have served their nation as chief executive. What he will do after his retirement is not known, but the record' of his predecessors doesn't indicate that the years ahead of him will be very pleasant. Of the 31 men who held the presidency be fore Truman, 24 outlived their offices. And, for the most part, they also outlived their usefulness. Johnson returned to politics as Senator from Tennessee In 1874. His courageous honesty stood out in contrast to the low ethics of the Grant administration and helped to erase some of the bitterness connected with his four years as pres ident. William Howard Taft also attained another political office that of Chief Justice of the Su preme Court. The last decade of his life, unlike nearly every other ex-president, was the happiest.

T h is appealed to him. He sold a pint of n i s blood to a hos pital, and he got $25 for it. Joe began to sell his blood more and more frequently, and, since he was a husky guy, it didn't hurt him. Knowing that a hospital would not take his blood except every three months, Joe played It smart. He sold blood to differ ent hospitals, often under dif ferent names. To keep up his strength, he be gan to take vitamins and eat blood-building foods. Even With this additional ex pense, Joe still figured that he came out ahead on his new-found source of wealth. He drank quite a bit, and now, in his weakened condition, Joe could buy less beer and still get the desired effects. Joe's downfall was caused by a woman.

Perhaps the rea son young people are urged to accept the op portunity of listening to their famous elders is not for their Intrinsic value but because they have something to add to the lives of youth.

He Is affiliated with Zefa lleta Tail fraternity and Is from Omaha terestlna, to say the least, and also sig nificant.) I read with some interest, Hal Hasselbach's article entitled "It's Korea's War," in the Oct. 8 issue. It seems that here at last we have a believer in what, I'm not quite sure. Some points as a matter of fact, all of them were I'm sure, well taken, but perhaps a little Information will light a flare for the uninformed people who don't seem to know some of the reasons for this thing com monly called by us, the warriors, "The' Korean Krudd." Long have the American people been renounced for their big talk, great confidence or over-confidence and the general belief that we are invincible at the hands of any or all enemies. It remains for history that on just about all occasions where an overt act of war was thrown in our faces, we've usually been clobbered but good. Pearl Harbor and our initial defeats in Korea are a few examples to bring out the sad point. It all boils down that we aren't as hot as we think we are. What is to be done? True. Korea is a tragic thing Indeed we've lost a great deal In casualties, material and pres tlce.. slowlv to be sure, but it's growing daily In experience and combat know-how, which can't be learned in the classroom or train ing fields using imaginary bullets and the time-honored field man uals. It takes a fight to make an efficient fighting man, and Ko rea seems to be the Answer for obtaining this priceless exper ience. Rember ,the guys that have returned home know how to fight and stay alive and there are more than a few of them. This shocks you, I know. Americans don't want a war, so why spend millions and untold lives preparing for one? South Korea didn't want a war either, but South Korea has had the full course and it shows to all of us here and It makes a man think. A small town was here all that's left of it is an open field along the road. No buildings, no farms, no people, just a small sign with a few bullet holes in it to show where the town was. These people didn't want or pre pare for war they left it to the diplomats and isolationists. Now the men have all been killed, the women raped and the children maimed, homeless and hungry. Tell me why this couldn't be Lin coln or Fremont or Scottsbluff? Tell my Korean houseboy, aged 15, orphan, half blind, brother dead, sister a prostitute (in Korea a violated woman has no other resource), that it couldn't happen to his town he won't laugh! Yes, we need an army badly so badly that It's costing us plenty to get It. I'd hoped to leave the melodrama and "old story" routine out of this, but the truth at times Is Indeed hackneyed In this Instance and It's H so real and close that trying to explain It Is exasperating. Another point for consideration: Can it be Imaglnerl that a smaii extremely proud nation like South China? It would be like trying to ! even though many were my men mon ud Lake Michigan with a! and friends. But I'd feel like a sponge. Korea, without help, country would fold like someone hit by Tom Novak in about the same amount of time. To win a war like this, it takes a lot of guys in a lot of holes with enough guts to stay there and then press the at tack to the enemy. Koreans have got the holes and the guts, but they haven't got the Ko reans. Keep In mind that those little people who are at this particular moment dug In about 1,000 yards north of this bunker and shooting at us with even a sink or two are Chinese, and i someone must have loved the Chinese to make so damn many of 'em. And a third point: We aren't division alone we have the French the only force in Korea. In this the Dutch and the Thailanders fighting right along with us. Dif ferent nations are represented throughout Korea in relative small numbers, I'll admit, but the member nations of the UN are as capable and equipped as we to send an army. Practically all of the nations represented here, with the exception of the US, have suffered ravages of war in their own front yards. They know what w3r is and have sent what they could. We're a rich powerful nation who firmly believes in the UN. Isn't it just, that our share be in proportion to what we're able to committ to battle? Wouldn't a withdrawal mean a repudiation of the organization which we led Into exlstance? Remember Geneva? Are We to throw our national pride to the wind for the sake of the blood we've committed to let flow In preserving, not only the In tegrity of one small nation, but the principles of the entire free world? I'm graves registration officer of this outfit, and I've seen too many men as dead, mutilated and broken as a man can get. I'll not bloody heel if American troops were pulled out, knowing what those fellas were here for and, believe, me, they knew not in so many words for most of them. But in their hearts they knew. We all want to come home. In the last war the men sat in their Inevitable bull sessions and talked about sex. In this war and It is a war regardless of the term "police action" the main topic of conversation Is of points and the "The Big R," which is Rotation home. We want very much to come back to our homes, our families, our friends and our women, and most of us will. But to toss aside, like an old toy, our national commit ments, our sense of fair play, the helpless minority nations and, perhaps most important, the lives we've already lost is a revolting proposal Incubated in the minds of the narrow and weak who talk of a beautiful and peaceful world, but aren't prepared to back it up with the force necessary to establish it. I hate war, there's no glory or thrill in it, just fear, filth, blood and death. When you think that it could happen in your home town, that your own people could be butchered and outraged and sick ening cold fear permeates the very air you breath, you know why there's a Korea. God willing, and holler "UnclebsrwwaWiypao we'll win this thing sometime maybe a long way off, but not if we quit or become squeamish and sovft and holler "Uncle" when we're hurting a little. If we're going to have peace in Korea or. anywhere, let it be an honorable one and hold out for nothing less. The dead demand it, and we're in no position to argue.
