Unofficial Symbol
This drawing of a tough-looking
cornhusker has been un
officially used as the symbol
of the University for some

Five Named
To Council
Committee
Foreign Students
To Plan Projects
Four international students and
an exchange professor have been
selected to serve on the Student
Council student activities com
mittee. Students are Lichu Chen, For
mosa; Hans Steffen, Hanover,
Germany; Rosemarie Hill,
Frankfurt Germany, and Andrew
Sainten, Panama.
H. N. V. Temperley, visiting
professor of physics from Cam
bridge University in England,
was chosen to serve as advisor
on the committee.
ACCORDING TO Rocky Yapp,
Council president, the commit
tee's job is to co-ordinate projects
planned for international students
and to encourage campus organi
zations and individuals to expand
their relations with students from
abroad.
He said that the committee felt
it was important to obtain the
viewpoints of international stu
dents, so applications for mem
bership were accepted from in
terested students.
JANET" STEFFEN, chairman
of the Activities Committee, said
the committee now has world
wide representation, because -it
will have ideas representing the
Far East, The United Kingdom,
Central Europe and Central
America.
Miss Chen, a mathematics and
physics major, is the Interna
tional House representative to
BABW. Before coming to the
University, she attended a church
college in Ohio.
STEFFEN, A Fulbright scholar
taking graduate work in Teachers
College, said international stu
dents do not feel free to attend
open meetings, such as the Stu
dent Council sessions.
An elementary education major
and Fulbright scholar. Miss Hill
thinks American activities are
wonderful. "In Germany," she
said, "we have almost no extra
curricular activities."
Sainten, who is attending the
University for his fourth year,
stressed that international stu
dents did not come to this coun
try to meet other international
students. A nucleus of American
students is needed to make activ
ities with international students
a success, he said.

dents who had aided most in fos

ing the football season would be
honored.
The council voted unanimously
to sponsor the event and ap
pointed a committee to plan it.
Members are: Mimi Hamer, Art
Raun, Gail Katskoe, Pat Graham,
and Linn Brady.
A RESOLUTION to commend
the football team and coaching
staff for a good reason was ta
bled. Committee reports revealed
that the parking board had heard
one appeal and had granted a
special parking permit which will
be revoked if it is misused. ,
Concerning the compromise on
final exam vacations, the calen
dar committee pointed out that
this action applys to 1953-54 only.
Dean Colbert suggested that the
committee have student opinion
to back up their arguments when
the faculty senate decides the
plan for 1954-55 on Dec. 8.
To determine the student opin
ion on this subject a letter of ex
planation and a poll will be dis
tributed to he students through
the Student Council.
AN INVESTIGATION will be
held to determine the possibility
of having a "floating holiday" to
be declared by the Council in
case of an emergency. It was sug
gested that such action might
prevent a situation like the one
occurring at Iowa recently when
student agitation for a victory
vacation" was denied.
Ken Ry strom, editor of T h e
Nebraskan, a visitor at the meet
ing, reminded Council members
that a written report of the meet
ing should be given The Nebras
kan. He called members atten
tion to a by-law in the Council
which required the written report
to the paper and noted the Coun'
en naa iauea to submit tne re
port thus far this year.
Members were also reminded
to wear their Student Council
shirts on meeting days. The next
regular meeting was cancelled
because of Thanksgiving vaca
tion.
Adams, Poteet
State Support
Of Mitchell
A former state senator and
recent student of C. Clyde Mitch
ell, professor of agricultural eco
nomics, have issued statements
supporting Mitchell in the con
troversy with the Hall County
Farm Bureau.
MARCUS l! POTEET, Waverly
farmer, secretary of the State
Railway Commission and recent
student in Mitchell's classes, said
Mitchell encourages free, discus
sion in his classes' and makes no
attempt to "indoctrinate" his stu
dents. Poteet called himself
"pretty much of a conservative."
Thomas H. Adams, Lincoln at
torney. Farm Bureau member
and former state senator, praised
Mitchell's ability in a letter to
Regents Robert W. Devoe and C
Y. Thompson and W. V. Lambert,
dean of the College of Agricul
ture. HE DESCRIBED Mitchell as a
"top-notch, up-to-date instructor
and leader in agricultural eco
nomics" and wrote: "If a man
of Mitchell's caliber can't give
his viewpoints to the farmers in
our state, then we are just ask
ing for a program to keep our
farm population ignorant." The
Hall County Farm Bureau, in his
opinion, does not "represent much
of the thinking of the members
in the state at large."
The Mitchell-Farm Bureau con
troversy stems from an article by
Mitchell recently published in
Capper's Farmer.

French Bio-chemist
Explains EDC Program
Clauser Predicts French Showdown
A showdown on France's posi
tion in regard to the European
Defense Community the plan to
merge western Europe s military
organizations is forecast to come
in the next two or three months
Dr. Hubert Clauser, biochemist
from the University of Paris, and
a visiting lecturer at the Univer
sity, believes the question of rati
fication of the EDC will be put
to a vote in the Assembly the
first of next year.
"IF FRANCE agrees to pool
its defenses with the five other
western European countries, then
the Federation of Europe may be
possible in the next five years,"
he said.
He said the French government,
which signed the EDC treaty in
May, 1952, delayed putting the
ratification question to a vote be
cause it knew that the plan would
be rejected.
Dr. Clauser sees the September
election in Germany as a "great
blow to the French opponents of
the plan because the German
election overwhelmingly rejected
the German Nationalist Party."
"IN 1944, the peak year for the
Reds, 700,000 Frenchmen were
registered as Communists, while
today only 350,000 are so regis
tered," Clauser said.
Another indication of the loss
in Communist interest, he said,
is the sharp drop in circulation
of Communist papers in Paris.
The Communists' morning paper
now has 250.000 teaders, com
pared with 700,000 in 1944. The
Reds' evening paper discontinued
publication some six months ago,
he said. '
"IT IS true," Clauser added,
"that the Communist Party re
ceived 20 per cent of the vote in
the last French election. How
ever, most of these votes yere
cast in protest to economic' con
ditions. The French citizens were
voting with the Communists to
seek concessions and not because
of sympathy for the Reds' cause."
Dr. Clauser gave a series of
Builders Bureau

University students have been

This system of obtaining a

the form used in the past which
requested high schools to dis

Builders hope to obtain a more
complete list.

Symphony
Free Tickets
Necessary
For Concert
Students planning to attend the
University Symphony Orchestra's
fall concert Sunday at 8 p.m.
must secure tickets beforehand
in the Union Activities office.
Miss Shirley Chapman, activity
director,, said that the tickets are
free but necessary for admission
because of the limited space and
the demand for seats by the gen
eral public.
Featured artist at the concert,
in the Union Ballroom will be
Aaron Rosand, a guest violinist.
In 1948 Rosand was hailed by
the New York Times as a vio
linist with "a technique of near
perfection." Since then he has ap
peared coast-to-coast as guest so
loist with major symphony or
chestras. THE ARflST, who is 25,
has many interests other than
music baseball, ping-pong, jazz
and photography. Rosand, who is
especially fond of baseball, be
lieves that athletics have played
an important part in his career
as a concert artist by strength
ening his hands and fingers and
improving his balance and co
ordination. The Special Activities commit
tee is sponsoring the concert in
conjunction with the School of
Fine Arts. Emanuel Wishnow,
professor of violin, will conduct
the orchestra in its first public
appearance this year.
