He warned the edu cators that labor of the Jimmy Hoffa va riety Is, "A new American brand of facism tome." These are strong words, but Riesel has the facts to back them up. Following are some of these facts along with warnings which Riesel brought out in his talk. Hoffa, as head of the Teamsters union, largest labor organisation in the world, can control distribution of material pro duction for the whole country.. By order ing his members to strike, transportation and communication would be thrown into a state of turmoil and chaos the likes of which would make Black Tuesday look like a Walt Disney cartoon. "When Bob Kennedy says this is second only to the direction of the government of the United States," he is referring to "the kind of left wing power we're talking about," Riesel warned. Let's remember this," he declared. "When H Duee took over Italy, he took the underworld and made blackshirts out Ag Bureau Opens An experiment in coverage of the Ag Campus was begun Tuesday. The Daily Nebraskan has established a bureau in the Ag Union as a central point for col lection of news pertaining to the north campus. The bureau will be open from i:30-4 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays. A member of the paid staff of. the Daily Nebraskan will be on duty there during these times. This bureau was established on a three week trial basis in answer to frequent complaints from ag students that news of ag activities was not adequately car ried in the paper. Ag students will supply the reportorial power for this bureau, the Ag Union has supplied the space and the Daily Nebraskan staff will supply the training of personnel. The bureau is being opened on an exper imental basis in order to determine if there is enough genuine interest among Ag students to warrant a separate bureau. This set-up does not mean that ag stu dents may not work in a normal capacity ' in the main- Rag office in the city Union. It is there merely as a convenience. Those who have felt that their acitivirlas were not given coverage are invited to submit material to this bureau and to volunteer to serve as a reporter for the ag campus. of them. The socialists are decent mid wives of facism. Their goal is the soften ing of the will to resist There is always muscle combined with the proletariat," Riesel continued. "This second government in the United States is meeting today with no federal investigation and the greatest breakdown of law and order ever in the world. Syndi cated crime is moving ahead, $22 billion spent each year on crime and the pre vention of crime by the United States gov ernment," he pointed out. "While the Russians are gaining suprem acy in the space race, "we can't get Con gress off its rear ends to give the money to put us in first," he said. "They're worrying about giving a bil lon, when 22 times that figure goes for crime." Twenty-two billion dollars are spent each year on crime and the prevention of crime by the United States government, Riesel pointed out None of the 44 who control a series of unions, contracts and industry will be punished, he said. "They will continue to attempt infiltra tion." Riesel noted that devoted labor lead ers, George Meaney, Walter Reuther and James Petrillo, were as much as 25 years older than Hoffa. Ten years from now when Reuther will be in his sixties, Hoffa will only be 54. "As these leaders pass out, the under world takes over." , "As American labor goes, so goes this country," he warned. One man cannot clean up labor. It's up to the American people and the college student who will inherit this problem to realize the magnitude of the power of racketeers like Jimmy Hoffa. The Hoffas don't slide out of power by themselves. They must be booted. Film Season Begins The 1959-60 version of the foreign film society presents its first offering tonight at the Nebraska Theatre. The foreign film fare presented by the Student Union film committee is one of the most inexpensive bits of fine enter tainment available throughout the year. With student memberships selling at $4 for 12 performances, the cost per show is about 33 cents. That's not much for movies which are often much better than those that can be seen downtown most Fridays and Saturdays. There is a quality about much of the for eign films being produced which leads the viewer to the speculation that these couldn't possibly have been produced here. The mass audience just wouldn't buy it But it's nice to get the chance to see them. M. E. Speaking By Carroll Kraut tions of the Homecoming display winners. It almost seems too bad.

( EASY BUDGET TERMS I TAKE MONTHS TO PAY f&Mi "Quality l-2MLLJPfoMK i I W 1200 "O" kfaPfc II OSMOSIS By George Haecker sspfe x Haecker I heard a nasty rumor that last week end was called "Homecoming" and that during the fall of said week end there was staged a gridiron contest in " which our team came out much the victors. I have since heard ru mors that this was a great thing and that it will do a great deal for our spirit Sort of like two or three vitamin pills or a swig of Mr. Clean. Week Before? If this is true I am quite happy for the rejuvenation v but in all unfairness t o everybody I feel I must point out the following: Of course we'll jump up and down when we stage a ru mored upset but what about the week before? Our inconsistence seems a bit vivid. I have been studying quite profusely- these last few days so, as I've said, I have no real way of know ing if these rather unpelu-, .cid rumors are true. I really feel I must re port a tremendous victory I achieved on Monday morning. I was getting rather tired of ' receiving so many parking tickets so I decided I would squelch the mob and secure for myself ah all day parking position in one of those big, beautiful, scenic lots of ours. To do this I got up a half hour early and snuck down to school before the race began. It was so rewarding to see that big empty lot just wanting for my auto! And not wanting to waste any time I deftly maneu vered into an empty stall and spent a full five min utes gloating over my shrewdness. How clever I was! But it seems that my acquisition of a parking place upset the whole order of the day, for I shudder to think how many people were driven from their usual stalls due to my cleverness. And con sequently there was an un called for amount of . ab senteeism. Somehow I feel that this really was homecoming, for on Friday night (on my way home from studying) I had to deal with a dis gusting amount of traffic. And after inquiring of its cause I was informed that some of the fraternizing houses had constructed .some physical slogans of encouragement.- I wondered w hat drove these houses onward in their efforts. I think per haps that everyone, (during the construction period) was saying to themselves, "Maybe we will win and get recognition." Nobody Cares And of course this would drive anybody on. But I don't really think anyone out side of the winning house cares who wins, and the beauty of it is this; The fellows that twist the paper and pound the nails are presupposing all the time that they will be rec ognized and become fa mous and although nobody really cares they are still quite happy in their mus tered beliefs. And if they do happen to lose it is still quite enjoy able to discuss their ill luck and determine the various reasons that the school is against them. One thing is for sure, in the fall of home coming weekend, it makes the. scaffold renting people extremely happy. - m ' i mi i .in ft jama htmm,mm i ' n i f f- Congratulations Skip Harris A member of H-S College Board on her selection as Homecoming Queen m I - - - 'tfvthcrof "1 Wat a Tun-age DvKirf', "The Many umi of Uobie Uulit , etc) LANGUAGE MADE SIMPLE: NO. 1 In this d&y of swift international communications, like radio, television, and the raft, it becomes more and more important to be solidly grounded in" foreign languages. Accordingly, I have asked the makers of Philip Morris whether I might not occasionally forego levity in this column and instead use it for a lesson in language. "Of course, silly!" chuckled the makers of Philip Morris, tousling my yellow locks. Oh, grand men they are, just as full of natural goodness as the cigarettes they make, just as clan and fresh, just as friendly, just as agreeable to have along in all times and climes and places. "Of course, fond boy," laughed the makers and tossed me up and down in a blanket until, giddy with giggling, I bade them desist, and then we all had basins of farina and smoked Philip Morrises and sang songs until the campfire had turned to embers. For our first lesson in language we will take up French. W will approach French in the modern manner ignoring the tedious rules of grammar and concentrating instead on idiom. After all, when we go to France, what does it matter if we can parse and conjugate? What matters is that we should be able . to speak idiomatic conversational French. So, for the first exercise, translate the following real, true-to-life dialogue between two real, true-to-life Frenchmen named Claude (pronounced Clohd) and Pierre (also pronounced Ciohd), CLAUDE: Good morning, sir. Can you direct me to Mm Bearest monk? v PIERRE: I have regret, but I am a stranger here myself. CLAUDE: Is it that you come from the France? ' PIERRE : You have right CLAUDE: I also. Come, let us mount the airplane and retura ourselves to the France. PIERRE: We must defend from smoking until the air pi ana elevates itself. CLAUDE: Ah, now it has elevated itself. Will you havt Philippe Maurice? PIERRE: Mercy. CLAUDE: How many yean has tha small gray eat of tb rick admiral? PIERRE: She has four years, but the tall brown dog of th short blacksmith has only three. CLAUDE: In the garden of my aunt it makes warm in tha ummsr and cold in the winter. PIERRE: What a coincidence! In the garden of my aunt tool CLAUDE: Ah we are landing. Regard how the airplane depresses itself. PIERRE: What shall you do in the France? CLAUDE: I shall make a promenade and see various sights of cultural significance, like the Louvre, the Tomb of Napoleon. and the Eiffel Tower . . , What shall you doT PIERRE: I shall try to pick up the stewardess.
