One of the most courageous crusading
journalists in the country Friday provided
teachers attending the Nebraska State Ed
ucation Association Convention in Lincoln
with soms timely and important food for
thought
Victor Riesel, small in stature but
mighty in will, was all but completely
blinded for life by an acid throwing gang
ster a few years ago. 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.

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.

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.
CLAUDE: Long live the France ! iiwHa !
