to be added to the Brussels Treaty. -

center groups, followers of Charles De Gaulle and most of the French
Socialists.

In the press conference, Wilson answered newsmen s queshons

Commanders
The Commanders will play for the 1954 Homecoming dance, Cobs and Tassel
announced Tuesday.
This year's Homecoming band are Decca recording artists and have been in exist
ence for almost two years. The new group has recorded such current hits as "Make
Love To Me" and "Honey in the Horn."
The Commanders began their existence as accompanists for Decca vocalists and
vocal groups, but popular demand brought them into existence as one of the foremost
newly organized bands in the United States today.
The band features the talents of
Eddie Grady, noted percussionist,
and Camerata, Decca arranger.
The group trys to operate as a
single unit, however. This is the
reason no separate personality
fronts the orchestra.
Lucia Roberts will accompany
the band as a vocalist. Her songs
will be backed by an orchestra
that includes four trombones, three
trumpets, two saxaphones and
four rythmn instruments. This com
bination with the band's other in
struments produces a new sound
that many of musicland's authori
ties are very excited about.
'Extremely Danceable'
Junior Knobel, Corn Cob presi
dent, said that although The Com
manders are a "comparatively
new dance band," they are "ex
tremely danceable." 'In past years,
he said, it has been extremely
hard to get a name band that is
danceable.
He said that he was very happy
over the selection of The Com
manders as they are now in the
process of making a name for
themselves.
The Sauter-Finnegan orchestra
played for last year's Homecoming
dance. Tickets were sold for $3.75.
More than 1300 couples attended
last year's dance which was held
in the Coliseum.
Ticket Sales Begin Tuesday
Tickets will go on sale Tuesday
for $3. They will be sold by Corn
Cob workers and Tassels.
Homecoming decoration awards
to organized men's and women's
houses will be awarded at the
dance. Float prizes will also be
given at the dance. Last year's
winners of the House decorations
were the Men's Dorm and Kappa
Alpha Theta. Phi Kappa Psi, In
ternational House and Builders won
float awards.
Queen Election
To Take Place
Following Rally
Homecoming Queen candidates
will be presepted at the pep rally
Friday evening.
Five Tassels, chosen from the
women's pep club membership,
will be voted upon at a general
election immediately following the
rally. The choice of the final five
women is made by Tassels after
consideration of pep and contribu
tion to the University.
The identityof the five finalists
is kept secret until the rally and
the new Queen will be presented at
the Nebraska-Pittsburgh game,
Homecoming Day.
Students must present their iden
tification cards in the Union lobby
before they are eligible to vote.
The election is open to all stu
dents. ,
The Homecoming Queen will
reign over Homecoming Day fes
tivities and the evening's dance.
She will be crowned by Phyllis
Colbert, 1953 Homecoming Queen
and this year's Pep Queen.
Friday's rally march will start
in front of the Selleck Quadrangle
at 6:45 p.m. and will end on the
steps of the Union where the can
didates will be presented.
Baylor, Kroger Express Views
Communism, Political Parties
Topics Of NU Panel Discussion
By MARY SHELLEDY
Staff Writer
It seems that the Democrats are
more worried by the charge of
Communism than 'they are about
kicking them out of the party and
the government, Attorney John
Kroger stated hi a panel discus
sion with Donald Baylor, another
Lincoln lawyer.
The meeting was held in Love
Library auditorium Tuesday eve-
ninn on "Is It Treason?" The pub
lic discussion examined the charge
of treason levied against the Dem
ocratic party.
Meeting Features Film
A short film featuring Marquis
Childs, commentator and column
ist, began the meeting. Discuss
ing the use of Communism as a
compaien issue were Congressmen
Kit Clardy (R-Mich.) and Richard
Boiling (D-Mo.)
Rep. Clardy stated in the film
that the charge of treason should
and would be an issue in the No
vember campaign. Boiling re
plied that no one can indict a
whole party.
Communism as a campaign is
sue was then discussed by Baylor
and Kroger.

The award, in the form of a

bands from throughout the state
to perform during the half-time
of the Nebraska-Oregon football
game and for a parade Saturday
morning.
The day's schedule for the 3,571

view, said hat the Democratic
party, being by and large the
party of the "have-nots" was
more susceptible to Communist in
filtration. The Communists can
always say to them, "What can
you' lost?" Kroger said.
Treason Defined
Bylor began ' his short talk by
defining treason clearly. "Treason
is supposed to consist of giving
aid and comfort to the enemy,"
Baylor said, "The enemy is not
an enemy unless armed, so the
Communists are not technically
traitors."
Baylor went on to say that the
word 'traitor' was more a highly
colored word than it was descrip
tive. "We call umpires robbers,
you know," he said.
Any American has the right to
disagree, Baylor stated. This in
cludes the right to disagree with
our theories of private property
versus the Marxist system.
Communists In Government
After short talks by Kroger and
Baylor, the participants asked
questions of each other Kroger
asked, "Why do you feel that it
is all right to keep people in gov
ernment jobs who are suspected
of Communism?" .

Good Fraternity Man."
In his speech, Col. Frankforter
said the good fraternity man is the
individual who realizes that his
position is one of privilege and
responsibility and takes definite,
positive action to live up to his
position. He went on to add that
individuals who fail to realize their
position and fail in their responsi
bilities are not worthy of keeping
the favored status.
Action Needed
Col. Frankforter noted the fra
ternity responsibility in training
its members to become respon
sible citizens of this state and na
tionmen who feel a definite ob
ligation to obey the rules that have
been established as the guides for
behavior.
He explained that fraternities,
like other organizations must
change and adapt themselves to
the times if they are to serve their
function, and can do much to com
bat the spirit of much talk, but
little action.
He cited the responsibility of the
fraternity to help the individual
who because of great athletic abil
ity, loses sight of self improve
ment which is the basic reason for
attending a college or university
as an example of fraternity re
sponsibility. 'Friendly, Fair, Firm'
Col. Frankforter noted three let
ters, FFF, which apply to Chan
cellor Hardin, explaining they
meant "Friendly, fair and firm.'
He urged fraternities to take the
lead of helping Dr. Hardin in car
rying out the program on student
drinking, urging that fraternities
relaize, "It is not our place to
question the legitmacy of laws,
but to accept and obey them."
Before introducing Col. Frank
forter, DJC president Devries out
lined plans for the coming year.
He said "There are three things
the DTC plans to stress during the
year: 1. Service to fraternity
members of the organization 2.
Service to the University 3. Serv
ice to the community."
Chancellor To Attend

Baylor replied, "I don't feel it
is all right. But if a man weighs,
at one time or another in his life,
the advantages of private property
and the Marxist philosophy, that
does not necessarily disqualify him
from holding all jobs."
Ifroger expressed the opinion
that Communism would definitely
be used as an issue in November
by the Republicans.
John Allien was moderator of
the panel. Questions were asked
