taught them to interpret the statements of these

But is isn't just wild statements by American
senators which gives the UN its inferiority com
not require unquestioning faith in fact, this type plex. Several speakers told members of the sem
t faith would be detrimental because right now inar how important they thought it was that the
the UN needs constructive criticism badly. Con
structive or not, there is plenty of criticism.
In many places, both here and abroad, this
criticism has become both irrational and demon
strative. There are rood reasons to wonder
whether this Irrational criticism Is Indicative of
the real world public opinion. Nevertheless, the
people connected with the United Nations seem
to think that It Is and this la what Is Important.
As k member of the YW-YMCA sponsored
United Nations seminar which has Just returned
from UN headquarters, this writer Is struck by
the largo number of UN employees and foreign
delegations which feel they are worklnr against
public thought
It must be said immediately that they have not
become any less convinced that they are right be
cause of this. Everyone connected with the UN
seemed firmly convinced that he was a part of the
only organization with any possibility of achiev
ing world peace. It was generally conceded that
changes should and would be made, but the uni
versal feeling very definitely was that the UN was
oa the right track.
This, then, brlngi us back to those who insist
on criticizing everything that the UN does or
tries to do. Unfortunately, the most vocal critics
of this type In our country are members of a
Senate sub-committee Investigating the possibil
ity of spies among the U.S. citizens working In
the Secretariat. Specifically, we mean Senators
McCarrsn and Smith who have recently deliv
ered an ultimatum to the UN. They said that,
If the UN did not purge itself of spies, it should
ret out of the United States.
This statement, backed by a discouraging num
ber of others from similar sources, has caused
UN have complete public support and how much
they thought that this support was lacking.
They blamed this on the press. Everyone
gave the argument that the press was throwing
the story of the United Nations out of proportion
by playing up the controversies. They argued
that this gives the Individual citizen the opinion
that the UN has not accomplished anything and
never will because of the constant East-West
struggle. The Nebraskan doea not think that
the press Is responsible for this feelinghow
ever, we cannot deny that this feeling ts entirely
non-existant. We agree that something needs to
be done to acquaint the world with the really
broad objectives of the United Nations. Not
only that, but we feel very strongly that some
thing must be done to tell the world about the
great accomplishments that the UN has already
made and Is making every day.
But and we feel that this is a very Important
but The Nebraskan does not think that the
people of the U.S. have written off the United Na
tions as a failure. It is next to impossible to test
the opinion of a ration. However, we can point
to one very definite indication of public approval
at least interest of the United Nations. We are
referring to the 54 "students from this state who
had enough interest in world government to at
tend the seminar. Beyond this, The Nebraskan
would like to point to the YW and YMCA as
examples of organizations trying to promote un
derstanding of the United Nations.
We feel that despite the rantings of small
people with loud voices the people of our na
tion have not lost faith in the UN. We grant
that a huge publicity campaign is needed to keep
this faith going, but we honestly believe that
this campaign will appear. D. P.

I Dear Students:
It is with a great Heal of re
hsrret that we of Black Masque
Chapter are forced to forego the
traditional Mortar Board Ban.
We had been planning, prepar
ing and looking forward to pre
jscnting the Ball for the campus
i and now due to circumstances be-
'yong our control we are unable to
have the dance.
We had booked three differ
ent top-notch bands Ralph
Martcrle, Buddy Morrow, and
Neal Hefti-Franccs Wayne
and three times we have been
notified that the bands had other
obligation and could not ap
pear. Tuesday night we were
notified that the Neal Hefti
Frances Wayne band, which had
been promised to us and for
which a down-payment had
been made, had another engage
ment and would be unable to be

vVayne group as well as the
ilhers we had, the Mortar Boards
:elt it would not be to the best
ntcrest and enjoyment of the stu
lents to bring a third-rate band
to the campus just in order to
lave the dance. .
For these reasons we are not
having the Mortar Board Ball this
year. However, this does not mean
that the Ball will not be held in
Ihe future years. This decision is
to be left to the discretion of the
future chapters.
Since filings for the Eligible
Bachelors had already been
opened and since many students
look forward to their presenta
tion each year, we are planning
to present the Bachelors this
year at a time soon to be an
nounced. We want to thank the Tassels
who so generously and so will
ingly sell the tickets for us each
year. And again we want you all
to know how very sorry we are
that we are unable to hold the
Mortar Board Ball this year.

Two On The Aisle
The Right Road
Sen. Joe McCarthy declared war on Commu
nism and thusly incurred the ill will of everyone
interested in upholding freedom from fear. This
ill will is justified because Senator Joe wants to
fight Communism with Communistic methods.
The American Legion decided to join the anti
Communism fight and blacklisted every organiza
tion it could find with alleged pink leanings. It
would seem a matter of time before the Boy Scouts
are. included.
State legislatures, universities and labor
unions got on the band wagon and demanded
loyalty oaths from state employees, teachers and
labor leaders. Nobody enjoys swearing loyalty
to the United States more than a Communist
Sen. Pat McCarren decided that Communists
ere not wanted in this country and pushed a bill
through Congress designed to keep them out
Charlie Chaplin returned from England to find he
had a fight on his hands getting back into this
country.
Senator McCarren's Senate Judiciary Com
mittee has a sub-committee on internal securities
whose main activity is probing here and there for
inclinations towards the Marxist philosophy. By
keeping out of the headlines, the committee has
of Feller, charged the committee's probe consisted
of "indiscriminate smears and exaggerated
charges."
This brought the counter-charge from a
member of the committee that Lie was guilty of
"irresponsible" talk. And to add to the furor.
Feller's death recalled to many the Committee's
recent statement that the United Nations could
either clean the spies and saboteurs out of its
ranks or get off American soil.
The debate resolves itself into one big ques
tion: How can we intelligently and democratically
fight Communism?
This Is the question which is before the people
and which must ultimately be decided by the
people. Secretary General Lie is wrong in direct
ing his criticism at the McCarren Committee. The
people are responsible for the actions of all elected
officials and should be held so.
If the people continue to express at least
tacit approval of such tactics, we will find our
selves fighting not only Communis but also
those who believe that not even Communism is
a big enough threat to drive us to fascist
methods. j
If the people openly express the desire to fight
This week I would like to hop
step and modulate here and there
in the music world with emphasis
on records and albums just for
listening.
In the vocal department, I
think that none can compare
with the fairly recent sensation,
Yma Sumac. You no doubt have
heard her wonderful album of
"Xtabay" in which she displays
her fantastic ability to success
fully cover four octives. Yma
was born in Peru in 1927 and
came to the U. S. a few years
ago. According to press releases
she Is of royal ancestery, and Is
worshipped by the Incas. You
can take that for what it Is
worth.
She is, however, beyond a doubt
a major discovery in the field of
music. Getting back to this "Xta
bay" album, band leader Les Bax
ter, in his own right a wonderful
concert performer, provides the ar
rangement and back-ground music.
Besides making recordings, Yma
has gone on inanyy tours, giving
concerts at Carneig Hall and Holly
wood Bowl. Her releases thus far,
provide excellent entertainment
and relaxing (if anyone has time.)
Not changing the mood too
much, Dr. Hoffman, master of
the comparatively new instru
ment the thcremin, is featured
in 2 albums. Music out of The
Moon, and Piece of Mind. The
former was very good seller In
'50. Here is an instrument with
the quality of a wonderful
vocalist and the tonal depth of
a violin. It has been used in
several movies in which the di
rector wished to set a weird
mood. Such pictures as "Spell
bound, and "Duel In the Sun,"
were among the list Also fea
tured on the discs is a vocal
group which uses no words.
Here are some very exciting
moments In listening.
From the mouth of that great
jazz critic Lenard Feather, "don't
miss Woody Hermans concert
at Carnegie Hall album." This
music was taped in 1946 and was
just recently released. In '46, at
the height of Herman's musical
career, his arranging and solo
trumpet work was done by Neal
Hcfti. Neal, as you probably know
is the band which is being fea
tured at the Mortar Board dance.

Teddy Wilson. Flip rhCIips, and

The voices of Walter Schuman
are heard in the album. "Romance

successful records of the group in
'51 when they cut, "Vanity" and
"Fools Rush In." High-lighted in
the Romance album is "Love,"
"Swonderful," and "My Heart
Stood Still."

By all processes of logic, we are falling into the
hands of the Communists when we aggravate the

all logic we cannot rationalize that fighting Com

talitarian methods may defeat Communism, they
also defeat freedom.
The free nations of the world look to us for

Margin Notes
Delightful Approach
A charming Britisher spoke to a handful of
persons at the Love Library Auditorium Tues
day evening about the Island Kingdom's reac
tions to the last American election. Colin Jack
son's delightful and informative talk captivated
his meager audience.
It seems a shame that the address could not
have been scheduled at a time more conducive
to a student schedule or else held in a smaller
room where Jackson could have talked more in
formally to his interestetd audience.
What Did They Say?
A Hews service story 1n Wednesday's papers
said that one photographer was permitted to snap
"three revealing shots" of President Truman's
conference with Prei'ident-elect Eisenhower. No
revelation came to this writer upon looking at one
of the pictures showing Eisenhower listening to
something Mr. Truman had to say."
Perhaps the writer of the news story was let
ting his personal hspes get into his words the
hope reflected by millions of people that the
publle talent know what went on between The
Fresideiit and The General. We have been told,
to I&te, that the meeting was not highlighted by
stay evidences of warmth and freindshlp.
Thanks To The R.O.T.C.

However, it appears that 35 students all in
the military department, out of a total of 47
donors, made that trip to the bloodmobile last
month knowing that someday they themselves
might need a blood transfusion to save their own
lives.
It is unfortunate that students not facln

work and the effort up to those whose lives arc
regulated by the fortunes of war.
