When men still die for freedom .and bread,
it should be with gratitude and not false pride
that we say "Thank God I am an American."
When students in other lands starve and die
of tuberculosis, it is with humility that we
should ask for forgiveness for our belief that
we hare a natural right to education.
When men fall in the paths of Soviet tanks as
they attempt to stand for truth, it is with an
appreciative praise that we should exalt the
system of democracy in which we live.
When men envy our nation and its greatness
and look to us for Christian leadership, it is
then that we should stand and be great.
When other youth of our age are carrying
rifles instead of textbooks, it is then that we
should become strong and it is then that we
should believe.
We should believe in the right of man to
choose his government. We should believe in the
right of man to feed his children.
We should believe in the right of man to
maintain dignity. We should believe in the right
of man to worship his Maker.
Our nation is strong. We can be pushed so
far, then, if we must, we shall fight for what
we believe. But, now, let us give thanks to
Almighty God that nowhere in the world are
American men dying for these beliefs.
In this time of Thanksgiving, let us thank God
for our material possessions of which we have
so many, but let us also be grateful and let
us be humble that we are not fighting the Third
and the last World War.
Three Statements, two from international or
ganizations and one from Yale University, have
been issued recently concerning students of
Egypt and Hungary.
One of them commented briefly on the cur
rent crises in Hungary and Egypt and then
went on to "say a word about human sympathy
and the dignity of human beings." This par
ticular discourse was made in a speech by
Professor Vincent Scully at a Yale Rally for
Hungary, held Nov. 12.
The significance here is that Yale University
students saw fit to plan and stage, with admin
istration sanction, a demonstration equipped
with a faculty speaker to protest the "terrible
plight of Hungarian refugees."
Yale students have also set into motion a
fund the Yale Emergency Aid to Hungarian
Students to subsidize the students affected by
Russian action in the Hungarian riots.
One of the organizations, the Communist In
ternational Union of Students, expressed more
specific opinions of the situation in Egypt and
how it affects students in that area of strife.
The secretariat of IUS stated in a public letter
that he was "acting in full accordance with
the IUS Constitution and the Decisions of the
Two Approaches
IVth World Student Congress," by voicing "a
string protest against this foreign invasion
and expressing, sympathy and solidarity with
the Egyptian students who together with their
people are defending their homeland."
The American Committee of World University
Service announced that it will rush emergency
aid to Hungarian students, "victims of recent
political turmoil."
In a special news release explaining their ac
tion the WUS went on to state that "Dr. Buell
G. Gallagher, Chairman of the WUS in the
United States, pointed to a profound sympathy
among American students for the tragic situa
tion of their Hungarian colleagues."
Yale's rally and the WUS decision seem to
symbolize the United States sentiment regard
ing the current repercussions in Hungary. Such
feeling concernig the Egyptian situation has not
arisen in any appreciable form, however, be
cause the situation is not so grave.
The Yale fund and the WUS aid are positive
reactions to an international situation which
imperils democratic procedure. Their com
mendable plans should bear positive results as
opposed to the useless words of Communist
adult leaders.
Cards On The Table
We maintain the right of students to know
what is going on on their campus. This means
more than the privilege to understand issues
and to pry into new fields of scientific investiga
tion. The Nebraskan has cried in the past for open
meetings of committees which discuss students
or their affairs. Despite any condemnation of
our foreign policy from those student who would
patronize the administration, we believe that
it is the desire of those who make the Univer
sity tick to share with their charges the facts
and opinions which will affect the entire student
family.
We reason that the administration would be
happy to share opinions with students from two
observations: 1. Any reasonable person is will
ing to cooperate with a policy which he under
stands. 2. Students demand the consideration
of free discussion of ideas which will ultimately
turn into legislation designed to improve.
And it seems logical that the cooperation de
rived from a closely knit observation of facts
and ideas, from sensible faculty-student rela
tions governing from the caution of any com
mittee must exercise in resolving student prob
lems through open forum should be the goal of
this school's administration. i
The Nebraskan seeks open meetings ulti
mately, cooperation and the freedom to pub
lish the facts learned therein not from any sense
of pride in "digging out" an exclusive story.
We seek open meetings for the good of the
University. We seek freedom of the press to
listen in on and sift out from committee meet
ings the ideas which will help the University
to live as a unit, not as a rifted tool of instruc
tion. We will maintain that a newspaper has a
right to enter any meeting at which public pol
icy is determined. This means on this campus
the Faculty Committee on Student Affairs. It
means that those faculty members who make
the decisions on student policy should be. will
ing that we publish their picture. It means that
tthe Nebraskan should be allowed to know what
it has to know to serve the students well
But we will be willing to concede that the
Dean of Student Affairs has met with the
Nebraskan and discussed the business of the
Committee. More than that each man who votes
on the committee should be subject to the
"record" of those whom his vote affects.
All we ask is that we be allowed to report
the facts as they are. This is the goal of any
newspaper. It is the goal of service.

Amid Soviet charges of U.S. responsibility for
war-like" conditions in the Middle East, Rus
sia has quietly but actively begun tightening
its satellite purse strings.
In Bulgaria, Soviet troops were reported .mov
ing into the country in an effort to head off a
Hungary-style rebellion.
A member of the Communist Warsaw Pact
(the Soviet version of the NATO), Bulgaria had
aot previously had Soviet troops stationed on
her soil, as they were in Hungary, Poland and
East Germany.
The Soviet high command of the two countries
of the Warsaw pact has also ordered two import
ant tank units to Czechslovakia. Until now the
Czechs had only a small number of Soviet
troepi on their territory.
After four days of ta'ks, Communist leaders
la Poland and Russia have signed a declara
tion of "indestructible union and fraternal
friendship" but agreed their future relations
would be on a basis of "complete equality."
The two regimes agreed Russian troops must
remain in Poland but the Poles were given veto
power over Russian troop movements in their
country, as well as promises of help in meeting
Poland's economic crisis.
In Hungary, Soviet efforts to quell the nation
wide industrial strike appeared at least par
tially effective. Workers streamed back to the
plants but production was at a minimum.
Soviet UN delegate, in contrast to Red "will
ingness" to send "volunteer" units to the Mid
dle East to prevent further aggression in Egypt,
said any move to send a UN police force into
Hungary would "endanger" peace.
The Soviets received their severest rebuff
this week from Prime Minister Nehru of India
who told his parliament that Russia's prestige
had been "powerfully affected ... .in Eastern
European countries, in noncommltted coun
tries and even among people in the Soviet
Union itself " for their actions in Hungary.
Nehru, who Monday announced plans to visit
President Eisenhower in Washington on Dec.
16, said details of what happened in Hungary
are not clear but "it is evident the government
of Hungary is not a free but an imposed govern
ment, and the people are not satisfied with it."
One of Russia's chief worries is coming from
the East, not the. Western powers, however, ac
cording to news agency reports reaching Paris.
The reports claim widespread demonstrations
against Mao Tse-tung and Soviet Russia some
of them actual uprisings have recently taken
place in China. The purpose. Eastern diplomats
said, is to force Mao to wrest more freedom
from the Kremlin.
, At one time the situation became so serious
that the Russians were forced to send rein
forcements to their Siberian borders, the Paris
reports said.

By a bare margin of three per
centage points college students
feel the United States Olympic
team will outpoint the Russian
team in the Olympic games be
ginning November 22 in Australia.
Broken down by sex, however, the
margin is not close. College men
favor the United States team by
a margin of 13 percentage points
while college coeds favor the Rus
sian team by a percentage mar
gin of 16.
Associated Collegiate Press gath
ered collegiate opinion on this is
sue by sampling from a represen
tative national cross-section of col
lege students. Figures were ob
tained from answers given to the
following question:
DO YOU THINK RUSSIA OR
THE UNITED STATES WILL
MIS THE MOST POINTS AT
THE OLYMPIC GAMES BEING
HELD SOON IN AUSTRALIA?
WHY?
The results:
Mea Womea Total
Russia 34 44 37
U.S 47 28 40
Undecided 19 28 23
The difference of opinion be
tween college men and women is
hard to explain, but perhaps it'
due to the fact that the men fol
low sports more closely and de
velop more confidence in our ath
letic prowess,
Four general lines of reasoning
spring from those students who
believe Russia will win the games,
Most common is a belief that ath
letics is strongly stressed through'
out the whole Russian nation.
Equally common is the opinion
that Russia will win because her
I athletes are all professionals.
off" is the way a Willanova Uni
versity (Villanova, Pa.) sen to
puts it.' And a freshman coed at
tending Long Beach City College
(Long Beach, Calif.) seconds his
ipinion by stating: "Russia main
tains and supports her athletes and
they are practically professional.
Many students are of the opin
ion that Russia will win because
of the strength of her women ath
letes. Here's the way a Wesley an
University (Middletown, Conn
junior looks at it: "Their women
are stronger. Russian women ath
letes . are better than American
women athletes.
A good number of students feel
the Russian people as a whole are
more physically fit than Ameri
cans. "The Russian people seem to
be more physically fit as far as
athletics are concerned" is the
way a fresliman coed at Bemidji
State Teachers College f Bemidji
Minn) feels. Speaking of the Olym
pic teams a sophomore coed at
tending the School of Foreign Serv
ice of George Washington Urn
versify (Washington, DC.) says
the Russian team is "better
trained, the Americans are soft
A Moorhead State Teachers Col
lege (Moorhead, Minn.) sophomore
sees it this way: "The Russians
don't have better sthLies, but
more of them
Students pinning their hopes on
the U.S team generally do so for
one of three reasons. First, the
feeling, as echoed by a graduate
student at the University of Ne
braska (Lincoln), that the U.S
team "has greater strength in its
track and field divisions," which
will offset weaknesses in other
areas,
Another Jgment of opinion just
has the general feeling that we
have the better athletes, or as it
is plainly put by a Louisiana State
University (Baton Rouge) fresh
man: "Ours is the best team!"
Eut perhaps the largest group of
students favoring the U.S. team
do so because of a "belief in the
"competitive spirit of Americans,"
as a graduate student attending
Michigan State University (East
Lansing) puts it. Here are a few
other typical comments: We put
more emphasis on sportsmanship,"
is the feeling of Columbia College
(Columbia, S.C.) senior coed. "The
will to win is a better conditioner!
than pay." is the expression of!
a senior at BemMji State Teach
ers College, while a junior at the
same school looks at it this way:
The spirit of competition and
sportsmanship will prevail, a de
cided advantage."
Empirical proof is offered by a
freshman at the Henry Ford Com
munity College (Dearborn, Mich.)
who thinks our showing at the
"Olympic trials made this fact
(a win for the U.S.) evident."
Students who are undecided on
this issue either comment along
the lines of an Alabama College
(Msntevallo) freshman coed who
says: "I am not familiar with the
Olympic situation," or else they
feel the results will be too close
to predict.
Voicq o'i
The Turtle
The closed meeting jag in Uni
versity organizations took on an
other follower Monday as Tassels
gently asked a Nebraskan reporter
not to attend their meeting. It had
something to do with the proposed
amendment to their constitution
which would give them control of
the Homecoming Queen election.
The outcome of this meeting will
most likely have to wait to be re
leased until the Tassels jolly well
feel like saying something. Or until
they bring it before the Student
Council.
I suppose organiztaions have a
right to meet in secret, even over
matters affecting the whole cam
pus, but the Rag staff is beginning
to feel a little furtive and a little
guilty at having doors slammed in
its face.
Maybe we will have to invest
in a tape recorder.
Daily Nebraskan?
I suppose some of the readers
of The Nebraskan have noticed how
many advertisements we have
been running. In fact, some of
my friends have come up to me
and beat me severely about the
head and shoulders, and asked,
"How come so many ads?"
It is because we are making
money, which we need in order to
exist. If we make enough money
we might be able to go back to
putting out four issues a week,
which would classify us as a col
lege daily, and we could get out
of the bush leagues.
Then instead of having three
issues a week in which to find
typographical errors, my friends
would have four issues a week to
mark up and flaunt in my face.
They would be happy, I'm sure.
IT WILL
PLEASURE
