Latvian Woman Paints Picture
Of Iron Curtain Life for YDs
By Norm Beatty
"Will the Communists ever
take over the United States?"
"If the Russians take this
country how will they do it?"
"What can we do to stop
the Communists?"
These were only three of
several questions students
raised test week at the Young
Democrats meeting where a
speaker painted a remark
able story of life behind the
iron curtain.
The speaker was a small
woman in her late fifties who
smiled as she spoke in brok
en English. Her story, how
ever, was crowded with tre
bles she and her family en
countered while living under
the Nazi regime headed by
Adolph Hitler and the "Im
perialist Communists."
Her name will be withheld
to protect her daughter still
living in Europe under the
Russians but her words will
not.
Life Under Russians
The speaker told the Uni
versity students that life un
der the Russians today is hard
ly different from the life the
Latvians had under the Nazis
during and before World War
II.
- "After the War the Russians
deported 40,000 Latvians to Si
beria. The Nazis . . . took
the young men for their
army," she compared.
In Latvia today there is
"much fear," the Lincoln res
ident said. "There is no edu
cation for the young ... my
daughter's husband was tor
tured by the Russians after
the war," the woman stam
mered nervously when she re
fered to her daughter still
living in Latvia with her hus
band who is now nearly in
capacitated but te a c h e s
school.
After World War II, the
speaker noted, "we were
promised a higher standard
of living by the Russians. This
is not true."
Low Wages
The average worker received
350 to 400 rubles per month.

A pair of shoes costs 350 ru
bles, she explained to give an
idea of the wages in Latvia.
She noted that life in Latvia
is a "little better since Stalin
died."
As the speaker continued
she refered to friends and rel
atives who suffered under the
Germans and the Russians
and some who are still living
miserable lives under the
Communists today.
She paused . . . twitched
her fingers . . . took a deep
breath and with a smile the
speaker continued.
Horrible Lies
"Our papers tell horrible
lies about other countries,
she explained. "Most of the
people do not belive in every
thing they read in Pravda
but. she added, "some of them
have nothing else to believe
Last summer she returned
to Germany to see a cousin
and was trailed by Comma
nist spies. "My daughter write
to me and said don t take a
trip to see her," she said then
paused as she stared to the
floor.
Her impressions of Khrush-
rVov
"He talks like a boy from
a village ... like he had
no education at all. At the
summit meeting in France the
interpreter would not inter
pret what he said because it
was so ... so filthy," she
noted.
How do the people of Lat
via feel about the United
States?
The question birnht an
immediate smile i, her face.
"America is a iairyland to
everyone. Everybody is rich
in America ... everything
without working is how the
people think of America."
She said that the people in
Latvia expected the Ameri
cans to overcome Communism
after the fall of Hitler. When
asked if she thought the peo
ple feel let down she simply
remarked: "I couldn't say."
The biggest freedom the
speaker felt she enjoyed in
America was the "freedom

Tuition Raise Receives
Majority Aceeptanc
By Harriett Keller
Favorable reactions to the
University's increased tuition
rate for next year have been
voiced by 10 of 20 students
polled on campus.
The remainder of those
questioned were split into two
groups one group of six de
cidedly negative and a group
of four who were not particu
larly concerned.
An increase in the tuition
rate of $12 has been approved
for next year and will make
resident tuition $132 and tui
tion for non-Nebraskans, $252.
Among the students ex
pressing favorable reactions
was Pat Egan, a sophomore
studying pre - law. "We're
lucky to have such a cheap
tu'.tion.". he said, "with the
cost of everything else going
up, tuition has to be included
and it is at a minimum in
Nebraska."
Not Unreasonable
"I don't think it is unrea
sonable at all," said Hal
Spurrier, junior in Engineer
ing and Agriculture. "As the
cost of living goes up, it's
bound to cost more to go to
school."
Marilyn Leighton, a sopho
more in Teachers College,
said "It seems like it still
isn't as much as other col
leges and they have a good
reason for increasing it."
Another Teachers College
i student, junior Nancy Wilson,
said, "It's worth it. It doesn't
! seem like too much to add if
' it will benefit the University."
'if it's necessary to raise
: it to increase the income, then
i it's the best thing." was the
; opinion of Darrell Grapes,
! senior in Business Adminis-
tration.
j Marilyn Hastings, freshman
1 in the College of Arts and Sci
ences, said she felt that "they
I wouldn't have done it without
reason."
Increased Benefits
"Twelve dollars isn't such
j a great increase for the ben
efits you can get from the
University," stated Bob Geis
ler, junior in Business Admin
istration. A foreign student. Mats
I Holm of Sweden, said that he
was not too familiar with the
tuition system as it did not
exist in his country. "But,"
he said, "Nebraska's tuition
rate seems reasonable in
comparison with other campuses."

ON CAMPUS
Also in favor of the increase
was Chuck Borchman, junior
in Business Administration,
who said, "It's all right-it
should help the University."
Veretta Dorf, a sophomore
in Business Administration,
agreed. "It isn't too much.
There's no cause to worry be
cause it wouldn't have been
raised if it wasn't necessary,"
she said.
Students expressing nega
tive reactions to the rate in
crease included Hilary Las
sek who said, "I'm strictly
against it." He is sophomore
in Arts and Sciences.
"Naturally, I'm against it.
I'm paying my own way
through school and every in
crease makes it harder," said
Phil Schenck, sophomore in
Arts and Sciences.
Too Much
Mary Eager, a sophomore
in Business Administration.
; said that she did not favor the
increase because "I think it
is just too much to pay."
"I don't approve," said Car
ol Johnson, freshman in Biz
Ad, "as long as the school
gets money from the state
there is no need to make the
students pay more."
Another negative reaction
was that of Iraj Azimzadeh
who said, "I think it is pretty
expensive now and as a for-1
eign student, I don't know
how I'm going to afford it."
Find Another Way
Bill Paxton, a senior in en
gineering, stated, "It looks
like they could find some oth
er way to raise costs this is
supposed to be a state-sup-i
ported school."
inose wno ma not seem
particularly concerned made
statements such as "It's just!

"Everything else is going

costs have to," said Loren!

MetrecaVs Big Brother
Provides Athletic Boost
Metracal, the latest fad Siet
food which is stocked by drug
stores, groceries and depart
ment stores in either handy
powder kegs or liquid six
p?cks, has a big brother.
Metracal's brother Susto
gene is known on the Univer
sity campus most popularly
as the. "athlete's food." The
main difference between the
two products is the calory
content, Metracal being low
calory and Sustogene high
calory.
Experimentation with the
use of Sustogene as an ath
lete's pre-game food was ini
tiated at the University
Health Center last fall. Re
sults, according to Or. Ken
neth Rose, director of student
Health research programs
were quite favorable.
As a result of the study,
schools throughout the nation
are inquiring about Nebras
ka's athletic feeding program
and the use of Sustogene in
conjunction with college ath
letics is spreading rapidly.
Sustogene consists of pre
digested milk protein with
vitamins, minerals and car
bohydrates added in the cor
rect amounts. It was original
ly developed as a post-operative
feeding solution or as a
supplemental feeding for un
derweight people.
The University research
with Sustogene was financed
by a grant from Mead-Johnson,
manufacturer of the
product. Preliminary re
search showed that the heavy
pre-game meals customarily

the source of parliamentary
procedure from "Robert's

The second amendment
made the vice president and

given to athletes several
hours before the game were
not completely digested by
game time. This resulted in
stomach upset as well as de
tering the players energy.
It was known that liquids
leave the stomach much
quicker than solid foods so
it was postulated that perhaps
a liquid food such as Susto
gene might be effective.
According to Dr. Rose, the
players felt better both before
and during a game. "The
football team was very highly
satisfied with the Sustogene
diet and used it all through
the season."
Sustogene is now used in all
University sports.
