Rally Night?
The necessary spirit for a successful Home- is being generated in the entire student body and,

declare a Student Holiday, nor through any pre
vious efforts of the rally committee, under the
dictates of Cora Cobs and Tassels, to have a rally
Friday night but irom the students themselves.
TK decision presumably by the rally com
mittee, was announced in Wednesday's Daily Ne
braskan that just one rally would be held this
week not on the traditional Friday night but
Wednesday night Reasons advanced for the
schedule change were that motorists viewing the
Homecoming displays might get mixed up wih
the rally crowd and that attendance at the rally
would be seriously hampered by persons working
on their house displays.
Persons having to do with University rallies,
under the stimulus of Nebraskan editorial com
ment and pressure from many University stu
dents, are seriously considering plans for a Fri
day night rally, Wednesday's rally, of course,
" was held as scheduled. Bat student opinion has
rotten through to members f Cobs, Tassels and
the rally committee and nearly forced a recon
sideration of the no-Friday rally decision.
It would appear that a real Homecoming spirit
It seems unfortunate to The Nebraskan that
the rally officials despite precedence set In
past years, let two seeming problems direct their
decision to have the rally for the Saturday game
on Wednesday. The traffic situation has ob
viously not been too great of a problem in past
years; the number of persons attending the rally
is something on which rally officials must
gamble and for some reason, for this particular
rally they expressed apprehensions about not
having sufficient turn-out to make the rally a
success.
Student opinion has gotten to the rally offi
cials; and by this we mean all Cobs and Tassels
having to do with the formulation of rally policy.
Students have expressed the desire to work their
way through, the Friday night traffic and to leave
their house displays long enough for a rally.
To those in charge of instilling spirit Into the
ranks of the University body: The Nebraskan
hopes to see a Friday night rally, complete with
football team, torchlight parade, burning of the
Gopher and real inaugural spirit for the Home
coming weekend. R. R.

Happy Birthday
Nov. 7 was an anniversary and we overlooked Nevertheless, we have read the reports of life in
Russia. We have studied an editorial in life
It is one of the most highly significant birth- magazine about the birthday of the Bolshevik
days in history. Because on the seventh of No- revolution. The tone of all American propaganda
vember, 1817, thousands of angry Bolsheviks under and propaganda from most Western countries
the leadership of Nikolai Lenin took over the is completely anti-Russia leaving room for
government of Russia. Theirs was the
Russian revolution within nine months.
That Bolshevik revolution placed a govern
Tinent in office which now dictates history to the
rest of the world. The entire non-Communist
world sits, waiting and watching, while Russia
and ber satellites flex their muscles. The foreign
policy of nearly every Western country is con
cerned with defense against Russian Commun
ism. In the 35 years since 1917, Soviet Russia
has grown in power and influence until she is
the near-hub of the world's activity,
The Daily Nebraskan would Jike to compli
ment the Russians on their physical growth. We
are firmly convinced that this same growth
maybe even more significant growth, could have
teen achieved under another form of government.
Nevertheless, the Russians have come a long way
from the primarily-agrarian nation which under
went such a change in 1917.
We quarrel, and the entire Western Civiliza
tion quarrels, with the methods which Russia
tinder Lenin and Joseph Stalin used to achieve
this progress. Most students have had at least
one course in history and the Russians have made
themselves so important historically that nearly
every course in history touches on them. So the
extent of Russian progress is not unknown to the
University population. The methods are not un
known either.
There Is always the danger when talking
about the methods which Soviet Russia uses to
achieve what she wants that we might be im
plementing the same tactics she does. It
wouldn't take much reading to see what Rus
sian propaganda has to say about life in our
country. Maybe because we have learned to
condemn Russia and Communists we in this
country get carried away when we write about
life in Russia. It seems almost impossible that
conditions could be as bad as some say they are.
The Daily Nebraskan fully realizes that these
words are slightly comparable to heresy. We un
derstand what happens in this irrational age of
McCarthyism when someone makes a statement
about Russia that isn't completely scathing.
second nothing complimenting that country. This may
be as it should be, we don't pretend to know. We
only know that this isn't objective reporting.
There are things about life m Russia which are
not sordid and caked with fear.
The problem is this: If we allow the nicer
things about Russia to be printed, will the public
begin to condone the worse things? The Daily
Nebraskan believes that the only way that we can
beat the ideological war Communism is waging is
to fight it with truth. It may be more convenient
to leave out the complimentary things about Rus
sia but it is not truth. It means that we are fight
ing fire with fire using distortions of the facts
to fight distortions of the facts. This is not the
American way.
Therefore, on this birthday. The Nebraskan
congratulates Russia on its physical advances.
Also, we plead that something change the social
terror that is being nsed to achieve those physi
cal advances. Two days after Christmas, 1929,
Stalin ordered the liquidation of 5U million
self-sufficient peasants as a class. This was a
part of the collectivization program -which Stalin
and his aides had worked out to bring power to
the Russian nation. This is a type of thing
which should and does get biasing headlines in
the West It seems impossible that a country
even one based upon the principles of Russian
Communism could exist for 55 years without
making some noteworthy progress. We do not
want this progress to be praised out of propor
tion. We know that the had still far outweighs
the good in Russia. But we do get the definite
impression that the American propaganda ma
chine is designed to keep anything good com
pletely out of the Russian picture.
Looking over the 35 years, we see turbulance,
death, social upheaval, economic whirlpools and
power. With the most sarcasim we can muster,
we wish the Russian leaders a happy birthday.
We hope that it can be a happy one despite them.
WTe also hope that, eventually, something will
change Russian leadership and the whole world
tan live without fear. We feel that one step to
wards this is truth. Truth that hasn't been doc
tored to include certain inuendoes. D. P.

Margin Notes
Peace By Arms?
The Rabbi Abba Fineberg opened Lincoln
Armistice Day services with a plea to God for
"the end of hostilities and the return of peace to
the peoples of the world." Following the Rabbi's
words, veterans of the Spanish-American War and
World War I, plus representatives of all present
military forces marched down O Street.
It wonld seem now inherent in the philoso
phy of this country is the paradoxical thesis
(that military might is the right road to peace.
We pray for peace and then thrill to marching
music and the sight of armed forces commem
orating the anniversary of a truce.
Our Generation?
Time and again we hear tell, from our elders,
that our generation is cynical and silent. We
think back over the history of the world and see
war and pestilence. We look forward to our
future which for many is Korea.
A newspaperman, in commenting on Armis
tice Day, 1952, was mentioning the lack of mem
orials to World War II as exist for World War
X. The article concluded that no memorial to
the Second World War existed "unless the great
-glass and steel home of the United Nations in
New York could be so described.'
This older generation cynic might be right al
though it . seems wrong to think that the United
Nations is a monument to a war. But perhaps it
takes wars to make a reality out of peace efforts.
Leering Illegal?
- An all-white Jury at Tanceyville, N.C has
jcpme up with a decision which appears, on the
mrface, to be a complete prostration of our
ay stem of laws and court.
A 44-year-old Negro man has been found
gailty of assaulting a young white woman by
"leering" at her. The latent decision is the re
sult of the third trial of the Negro man on the
same charge. Whether or not the accused
frightened the white woman, it is tragic that ri

Notes On Half-Notes
Marterie Earned Much Praise
In Spite Of Comparative Newness
Danny Fogel
There s been so many things
already said this week and the
past on the homecoming band,
Ralph Marterie, that 1 am void
of new materia to present. I will
say that for a band that's been
organized for such a .short time
Marterie certainly has earned all
the praise given to both him and
the records that he has put out.
Kalph, alter working as a
staff musician for many years,
formed his band in '51 and. with
backers such as Harry James
and other musicians, he has
really fonnd the secret to fame.
Records such as "Castle Rock
and "Tenderly" earned Ralph
the title as
most out
standing band leader
of '51.
