'Finland: Policy Victim, Not Creator9 Says Anderson
By Nancy Whitford
lwo goals were set by his
tory protessor. Dr. Aibin T
Anderson, during his recently
completed research tour of
Europe.
Anderson, who travelled un
der a Faculty Summer Re-
search Fellowship and a
grant from the Inter-Univer
sity Committee on Travel,
attempted to learn wheth
er Finland faced any alterna
tives under Russia's World
War II demands and to make
personal contact with the peo
ple ot these nations.
Germany
The first month of the tour
was spent in Bonn, Germany,
where Dr. Anderson studied
Russian-German-Finnish re-
Ail
ANDERSON
laticns during World War IL
The Russian demands on
Finland included claims for
territory, bases, and a treaty
of mutual assistance, Ander
son said.
Whea Finland refused, she
was attacked and defeated.
After peace was ebtaised in
1948, war brake out 2 gala in
1841 as Germany attacked the
Soviet Union with Finland la
beled ro-beEigereDi, Ander
son explained.
"Although the research has
not yet been completed," Dr.
Anderson said, "the results so
far indicate that small pow
ers, such as Finland, are the
victims, rather than the cre
ators of policy."
Archives
The German archives
where Anderson studied con
tain data on all the important
aspects of 20th century his
tory, and are now open and
available toapprovedre-
searchers, he said.
Gaining entry into neighbor
ing Czechoslovakia and Soviet
Russia proved a bit more dif
ficult though, Anderson add
ed.
Twice whea driving to the
Czechoslovakia!! border, An
derson and his wife fond
themselves at the end of the
road. Entry could be gained
by travelling 59 miles farther
dowa the border, they were
told.
At the Russian border
movies were taken of their
entry and they were asked to
drive the car over an open
pit for inspection from all
sides.
Conrtesy
Despite the inconven
iences, we were always treat
ed courteously," Anderson
emphasized.
During the 3,500 mile tour
of Russia, the Andersons saw
the people at work on collec
tive farms, industrial instal
lations and in Communist
party centers and at play on
the beaches of Yalta near the
Black Sea.
"The Soviet people were
'most charming' when re
laxed, but on the whole we
were regarded with reserve
and as objects of cariosity,"
Anderson observed.
Anderson believes that a
major cause for the inability
to communicate lay in his
less-then-perfect command of
the Russian language.
Students
Although he was unable to
observe the Russian educa
tional system at work during
the summer. Anderson at
tempted to talk with the stu
dents who were products of
the system.
Anderson said they fall into
three classes, which include
the "firmly committed,"
those "still seeking truth,"
and the "cynical"
"The largest number ap
pear to be in the second cate
gory, indicating that the So
viet mind is not yet complete
ly closed," he said.
Views of the Russian agri
culture indicate the wheat
crap is good bat spotty in
places and that the corn is
much poorer than in the Unit
ed States.
Large crowded fruit or
chards are located in the
southern part of the country,
according to Anderson.
The rural people, said An
derson, were much more
poorly dressed and lacked
many of the advantages pos
sessed by their urban neigh
bors. Fanners
He believes this may indi
cate that the Russian farm
ers, who provide the greatest
basis for the country's wealth,
are themselves unable to
share as fully in the results.
Despite difficulties in com
munication, he believes the
idea of a "New Soviet Man"
is largely a myth and that al
though they have faced hard
ships, the people have re
tained the basically human
qualities.
Attempts to purchase books
and historical materials for
Love Memorial Library were
temporarily stymied when
Anderson learned the people
would take only other books
in exchange rather than mon
ey. Thie is because they are
granted only a very limited
amount of money to pur
chase western books, he ex
plained. At present, campus
library officials are attempt
ing to solve the problem by
setting up such a book ex
change. Correspondence
Travel to Finland yielded
further research material
when Anderson conferred
with former Finnish Minister
to Sweden, C. A. Gripenberg,
and was granted access to
his war-time correspondence.
In Sweden, he was among
the 3,000 persons, from both
communist and free-world
countries, attending the an
nual Congress of Historians.
As a grand finale, the An-
dersons travelled to Rome for
their "vacation" and a chance
to view the Summer
Olympics.

one of the staff members.
The staff members work
with special problems. Dr.

those whs hsve speech diffi
culties connected wits a cleft
palate condition.
This speech clinic is a sup
plementary service to any

Special Sections
The speech department also
has special sections ol Speech

These sections, tanght by Dr.
Cj'preansen, are designed to
help the foreign student un

A total of 64 pairs of eyes were donated
to the Nebraska Lions Club eye bank by mem
bers of Sigma Phi Epsllon fraternity this week
in order that others might see.
The 100 cooperation with the Nebraska
Lions Club eye bank marked what the Sig Eps
hope to be the start of an all-University drive.
Representatives j
From to is Beginning we
are going to branch out and
send representatives to oth
er interested groups on cam
pus," Lloyd Wade, co-chairman
of the drive said.
Wade went on to stress
that the drive for more dona
tions is not an official cam
pus organization. It is strict
ly for the good of the blind."
Lincoln Lion's Club officials
and Wade explained that any
one who pledges bis eyes
may break ihe pledge at any
time be wishes during his life
time. There is no money in
volved for acy donation.
In order for eves to be use
ful for transplantation, a
physician must get to a do

Eating Line
Requires Education
Of Customers
Customer training coupled
with new facilities may well
provide the fastest service
yet at the Student Union Crib
according to foods manager,
Allen Erause.
A speaker system installed
recently near the door of the
Union enables customers to
order as they enter so their
food will be ready as they
reach the counter.
The mala difficulty with
this ty pe of service is that
the easterners must be
trained t use it properly,
said Kraase.
For example, the speaker is
to be need only for ordering
hot and cold sandwiches ra
ther than fountain items such
as malts. The person order
ing should push the button
and hold it an the time while
speaking, be emphasized. The
button should be released for
an ans wer.
One Order Only
Many persons order a ham-
Jjurger and then decide to add
french fries when they get to
the counter. Eaters should de
cide beforehand what they
want and avoid changing their
minds, as weH as avoid or
dering items not on the menu
board, Krause said.
Aa additional railing to be
installed sear the grill line
will enable eaters to bypass
the sandwich line to b t a I a
(jukker fountain service.
Two additional hamburger
grills to be added to the
kitchen area wiH increase
hamburger service by SO per
cent Krause noted.
The new grills, in addition
to adding more area, will
maintain more even cooking
temperatures to speed tip
sen ke, be said. j
The "new speedy service" ,
is providing problems of its;
own, though, Krause ob
served, i
For the first time this year,
the service has been so fast
that there has been a wait-:
ing line at the cashier's stand.'
he dies. If this is accomp
lished, the Highway Patrol or
the Civil Air Patrol will quick
ly transport the eyes to the
eye bank at the University
hospital in Omaha.
The donated eyes are then
checked immediately to de
tect any defects or diseases
in them. If the eyes are
okayed, they are put into re
frigeration for later trans
planting. The immediate objectives
of the "sight conservation'
program according to offi
cials of the Lincoln Lions
Club are:
L "Aa effective public ia
formatioa program which
will result ia as large a
namber f donors as possi
ble. It requires UJfiQ do
aors t supply 109 pair of
eyes per year.
2. "Placing an eye bank
kit in every possible stra
tegy area.
3. "Developing a weH-ia-formed
public so that pros
pective donors and their
families, doctors, morat
ciass and ethers will know
what to do, bow to do it,
and whea to do it to assure
sncccessfid corneal and vi
treous transplants for those
h need them.
4. "Developing prevention
of blindness and rehabilita
tion for the blind.
5. "Providing leader dogs
for those who seed them.'
Unfortunately, not all trans
plantations can help blind
people to see. Only one out of
five such operations help the
blind to see, Dick Sievers, as
sistant zone chairman and
Jim Skala, deputy district
governor of the Nebraska
Lion's Club explained.
Interested?
Wade said that any inter
ested person, persons or
group should contact Mm or
Joe KozknsEki at the Sig Ep
house.
He added that it is a 'volun
tary, humanitary effort and
that no pressure will be ex
erted to get members with
out their consent
"It was a great feeling
when I pledged my eyes,
Wade said. "When 1 stopped
to reaDy think what it must
be like to be blind, I had no
doubt that I had done the
right thing.
