Religious Emphasis Week came
to an end Thursday evening with
a talk piven by Father Graham,
director of Vocations for the Do
minican Fathers and Brothers,
Summing up the success of R-E
Week, Dr. Rex Knowles, pastor
of the Presbyterian-Congregational
student house here said, "Of course
I vas very pleased with Religious
Emphasis Week, but the thing that
impressed me most was the en
thusiasm and hard work of the
student committee. No matter how
effective the message of the speak
ers may have been, without the
planning and work of the students
very little would have been ac
complished." John Nelson, co-chairman of R
E Week, said, "I think the week
was a success. According to past
disinterest we couldn't expect com
plete enthusiasm, but we did get
sufficient enthusiasm to warrant
continuing it."
Religious Emphasis Week brought
to the University Campus seven
speakers of various faiths. They
divided thier time between con
vocations, seminars and classroom
and student discussions.

Wednesday night, said that mass

i The University chapter, Lambda
Pi, is celebrating with a banquet

closed telephone hook-up from Hol
lywood describing the founding and

by several alumni.
Presentations will be made to
men who have been members for
50 years. Marvin Clapp is one of
those who graduated in 18, only
three years after SAE was estab
lished at Nebraska.
"This is a year to long be re
membered by every SAE, and we
must strive to perpetuate our fra
ternity as well as the entire fra
ternity system," Joe Mesmer,
SAE's Nebraska chapter president,
said.
At the centennial banquet, spe
cial tribute will be paid to the
late Dr. John Moseley, past
president, who had prepared the
original script for the broadcast.
Moseley created the SAE Leaders
ship School in Evanston, 111. in
1935 held for chapter delegates
each summer. He spoke at a Greek
week banquet at the University
two years ago.

instituted by Christ at the Last
Supper to be the food of the soul,"
he said. "This food which is the
body and blood of Christ is as
vital a need of the soul as ordin
ary food is vital need of the body.
"The main significance, I believe,
is a chance on a scale large enough
to make an impact on the 'campus,
to remind students of the role that
religion ought to play in their
lives," he said.
Dr. L. H. Cragg, professor of
chemistry at McMaster University,
Hamilton, Ontario, stated that the
relation between science and re
ligion has not yet been settled in
people's minds.
He said there are three atti
tudes toward the relationship of
science and religion. According to
one, a person must make a choice
between science or religion. Or a
man may accept both science and
religion, keeping them in "separ
ate compartments." Or a man may
believe that science is a religious
activity.
Perhaps the highlight of the
week was the talk given by Dr.
Louis Evans, minister-at-large of
the Presbyterian Church, at ' an
all-university convocation Wednes
day night.
In his speech, Evans said that
America began with a spiritual
thesis and "now perhaps the cycle
is beginning again."
Every home, he said, now must
have a fixed point above it and
that is God, or authority goes out
the window.

Color, bedlam, elation, and dis
appointment make strange bed
fellows most of the year, but for
on week they go hand-in-hand.
This is the week that the Ne
braska High School Basketball
championships are played at the
coliseum.
Teams represent all sections of
the state, but the east-central nart
has the heaviest representation,
something that is unusual for the
tournament that has usually been
spiced by many teams from the
pannandle. t
For the second war ei fiascos
wilf have four teams each vieing
for titles. Classes range from AA
to E. Omaha North has the biggest
male enrollment with 910 while
little Tobias has only 17 on the
books.
As usual the tournev has its
darkhorses, the Cinderella teams,
and the teams that have yet to
suffere a defeat. Omaha North
won only five games all season,
nut two or those wins came during
the district in Omaha.
In Class B, Chadron High

of the teams it had to face in the
district, but spring three consecu
tive uosels to earn a ticket to in.
coin. Teams like Boys Town, Falls
City, Loup City, Hildreth, Brady,
and Tobias are potential champs
tnougn otner teams have been
picked by the exDerts to cantnrp
the titles. Clarkson, Brady, Tobias,
a arwell have unblemished records.
Holstein, defending class E champ
ions, have outscored their oppon
ents in the last 57 games but were
forced to forfeit five early-season
games because of an ineliirihle
player.
University athletic business man
ger A. J. Lewandowski. has esti
mated the crowds to run around
8000 for first-round games and ex
pects to jam 10,000 into the coli-j
seum for the finals on Saturday
night.
"Pop" Klein, concessions direc

ply the prep fans from going hun-
gr rop plans to sell around 6,000
hot does, 21.000 cold drinks. 13.000

enable University athletes to nick
up a little spending money as a
result ot tne sales.
The Outside World:
arm Price Supports
By ARLENE
Nebraskan Staff Writer
Sen. Case (R-SD) suggested rigid farm price supports be limited
to this election year in a proposal which he termed a "compromise"
to the hot Senate argument over rigid vs. flexible farm price supports.
Attached to the pending administration soil bank farm plan is a
provision for restoring 90 per cent price supports, the World War II
level. The amendment Case offered -would limit the restoration of
wartime 99 per cent supports to tlft election year instead of the two
year period that has been proposed.
Case voiced uncertainty of white house approval of his proposal.
Britain Stands Firm
Britain's government stood firm Thursday on a Middle East policy
pinned to the Western Big Three pledge to block any change in the
Israeli-Arab boundaries by force.
Prime Minister Eden declared the British government and the
United States are working closely together to keep peace in Palestine.
Eden warned that Britain, the United States and France had undertaken
an obligation in their 1950 pledge that is "more serious than perhaps
many British people realize."
The 1950 pact promises that the Big Three will act against any
aggression by either the Arabs or Israel.
Soviet Women Celebrate
Soviet women, from kitchen maids to tractor drivers, stopped work
two hours early Thursday to celebrate International Women's Day.
The holiday was observed in the Soviet Union with speeches, lec
tures, concerts, parties and exchanges of gifts.
Women comprise a third of all Soviet engineers and technicians,
40 per cent of the agricultural workers, 76 per cent of the physicians
and 70 per cent of the teachers.

Rules Adopted:
Representative Ed Edmondson

keynote speaker at the Mock Po
litical Convention next week, Bev
D e e p e, publicity chairman, an
nounced Thursday.
Edmondson, who will address
the convention delegates Thursday
night, telegraphed his acceptance
of the executive committee's invi
tation from Washington Thursday.
A member of the House Com
mittee on Interior and Insular Af
fairs, Edmondson has opposed
about half the measures of Presi
dent Elsenhower's interior pro
grams. He has supported presi
dential foreign policy more ardent
ly according to box scores printed
in the Congressional Record.
Edmondson is a graduate of the
University of Oklahoma and has a
law degree from Georgetown Uni
versity. He is expected to give a partisan
speech, highlighting Democratic
policies, according to Miss Deepe.
In committee meetings Thursday
night, the rules committee adopted
the proposed slate of rules pre
pared by an appointed subcommit
tee with only minor changes.
According to Dick Fellman, plat
form committee chairman, debate
was so spirited that the commit
tee couldn't finish the agenda and
is going to reconvene Tuesday.
Five planks out of seven slated
to be discussed were passed, most
in amended forms, he said.
The defense plank was passed
and an amendment calling for a
ready reserve armed force was
also approved. Federal domestic
aid to education, roads, social se
curity and housing was voted sup
port but health insurance was re
jected.
The economic plank was much
debated and amended, Fellman
said. The committee favored furth
er reciprocal trade agreements
and trade cooperation, further in
vestigation of business lobbies and
a stepped up conservation pro
gram. The committee agreed that furth
er tax cuts were not advisable
and defeated any mention of presi
dential succession.
Only plank adopted in toto, the
farm plank favors flexible price

Tribunal Discussed:
ffClSOfl Jk
Council Votes Aid
For Spring Event
A resolution giving financial
Dacking to Spring Day and one
favoring the creation of a student
tribunal were passed in Wednes
day's Student Council meeting.
Marv Breslow, member of the
committee investigating the pos
sibility of a student tribunal, re
ported that he had had several
replies to letters of inquiry sent
to schools in this area. The pos
sibility of having a tribunal to
handle all or part of student gov
ernment was inaugurated by Bres
low, John Fagan and Sam Van
Pelt, Council members who at
tended the Big Seven student gov
ernment convention in December.
The theory behind the tribunal
is that students should as much
authoritv as possible to govern
themselves and to mete out their
own punishment, according to
Breslow.
Bernie Wishnow, holdover mem
ber, proposed the resolution grant
ing financial aid to the Spring Day
committee upon submission of a
reasonable budget.
"This is a bad precedent to set;
it is not right that any organi
zation can come to the Council for
money and get It,"
Maria' Wright, AWS, said she
felt that since the Council had set
