'New KNUS'
Music, News
KNUS will inaugurate a
new format of programming
next week with a change in
the type of music played and
with the addition of some
specialized news programs.
Gregg Hupp, program direc
tor, said that this is the "big
gest change KNUS has ex
perienced in the last several
years." The station believes
the people will like this bet
ter, and is trying to give the
people what they want.
Starting this week they will
be on the air from 4-11 p.m.,
Monday through Friday. Rock
and roll, popular albums,
jazz, and classical music;
sports broadcasts; news re
ports and commentaries, and
campus news will be broad
cast "Progress," a fifteen min

run at 7:30 every week night.
It is a progress report of the
nation and of important is

situation.
Dr. Freeman Decker,
commissioner of education for
Nebraska, will be the speaker
on 'Your Government

arguments for and against
that issue. This week the

to keep them fresh and joyful.
New Year's eve in Red Square was described by
Belli as nothing but he and his wife surrounded by the
stones and bricks of the Russian capital no other people
Belli is a believer in the liberal education. He supports
art, music, geometry, religion, history, English, French,
agronomy and anything else that a person has an oppor
tunity to learn about.
He himself is a logical, thinking man with an out
standing intellect and talent. His victory for the Ameri
can soldier in Japan who shot a Japanese woman on the
firing range several years ago can exemplify this.
Belli fears that Russia can win. But more than that
If she does win, men will cease to be men. When work
can take over for incentive, religion and love and can
mold a man so he dares not celebrate the coming of the
r?ew Year, or thing ahead or look back or think when
something can do this. Belli believes that something must
be destroyed.
"He will win. He will win." Are these words that
same confidence which Pazur and Belli saw in Moscow?
Were they written in the United States a democracy?

, KNUS will also be broad
casting Jazz and Java "live"
at a future date. Plans are
also being made for broad
casts on Saturday evenings.
KNUS will take a poll in
the near future concerning the
possibility of wiring the fra
ternity and sorority houses
for receiving their broad
casts. Hi-fi sets in the houses might
be wired by University elec
tricians. The cost would be
$5 per month per house until
the operation bad been paid
for. Then it would be free.
If a house was planning a
party for a certain evening,
they could reserve KNUS for
that evening, free of charge,
and the radio station would
play only the. music they re
quested. This would be on a
first come, first served basis.
As their wiring system is now
set up, only the men's and
women's dorms and Ag cam
pus can receive their broad
casts. The new schedule for KNUS
is as follows: 4-5 p.m., rock

Approach
On other problems facing
the United States, Cunts stat
ed:
Cuba: "Cuba is not strong
industrially. By a complete
naval blockade of that county
we could shut off the military
buildup there, paralyze the is
land's economy and bring
Castro to his knees. And it
would not cost us one Ameri
can or Cuban life.
Defense: "There are imper
fections in our defense sys
tem. That is a matter for
constant study and correction.
But some imperfections will
always exist. The point is that
never in our history has this
nation maintained such a high
level of preparedness.
Fullbright Memo: The ef
fect of "Senator Fullbright's
memo was to put a muzzle
on the military to silence
men who as individuals felt
they had a duty to speak out
on the dangers of Commu
nism. The memo was unwise.
Spending: "The administra
tion keeps saying that we need
more money for defense. But
by far the greatest number
of new items in this year's
budget were for nonmilitary
projects. Doubtless, some of
these projects are necessary,
and I do not object to spend
ing for them. But we must
choose between the good
things that we need and those
which it would just be nice
to have. We can't afford them
all."
Senator Curtis was in Lin
coln to become an honorary
member of Phi Delta Phi.
Mick Neff, magister of Phi
Delta Phi, said the fraternity
honored Curtis because of his
outstanding efforts to advance
ethical conduct in government
and labor.
"Curtis is an outstanding
member of the legal profes
sion in Nebraska," Neff said.
Before entering Congress,
Curtis practiced law at Min
den. Monopoly
Powers
Discussed
Labor's monopoly powers
are now hurting the nation's
little people just as the great
corporations did before the
anti-trust laws, according to
Senator Carl Curtis.
Senator Curtis told a Col
lege of Law convocation Sat
urday that the unions are so
strong, they can force man
agement to continue wasteful
production practices and slow
the introduction of more ef
ficient techniques.
"When that happens, the lit
tle people are caught in the
squeeze. The benefits of in
creased efficiency which
should be passed along to ev
erybody in the form of lower
prices get nowhere," Curtis
said.
The Senator advocated leg
islation to bring the unions
under the present anti-trust
laws. Curtis said that under
his proposal, no one onion
would be allowed to represent
more than 24 of the work
ers in a given industry.
Curtis also stated that the
purpose of Congressional in
vestigations is to inform Con
gress about areas where leg
islation is needed.
"The investigative function
is a necessary and proper
one for Congress but it should
never be used merely to in
still the fear of exposure,"
Curtis said.
He also stated that the
work of investigating subvers
ives is connected with the na
tion's defense effort which is
a Congressional function and
an area of legitimate Consti
tutional authority.

Sealed Bids
Sought For
Memorial
Sealed bids for the con
struction of the proposed $400,-
000 Nelle Cochrane Woods
Memorial building next to the
Sheldon Art Gallery are be
ing called for by the Board
of Regents.
The bids are general, elec
trical, and mechanical Con
tracts will be opened at 2
p.m., Nov. 15.
This is the second bid-opening
for the building. The
Board of Regents rejected
low bids in July after they
were approximately $90,000 in
excess of estimates.
Some revisions have been
made in the building plans,
involving mostly structural
changes according to Verner
Meyers, director of planning
and construction.
This new building will be
constructed to house the art
department which is now lo
cated on the second and third
floors of Morrill Hall. This
new addition will be located
north of the Sheldon Art Gal
lery at 12 and R streets.
Crowe Discusses
'NU In Turkey'
"What Our University is
Doing in Turkey," will be the
topic of Dr. L. K. Crowe's
speech Tuesday in the
Ag Union lounge at 4:00 p.m.
Dr. Crowe, professor of
dairy, spent several years on
the staff of the Nebraska proj
ect in Turkey and will illus
trate his talk with a series of
slides.

ored, and the violence and intensity which
accompanied it."
Liz Cashen, advertising promotion di
rector for Miller and Paine, said that aft
er she had lived in many of the cultural
centers of the nation, she found that Lin
coln has nothing to be ashamed of in
terms of things to do. Citing the sym
phony, University Theater, film society,
foreign films, planetarium, Community
Playhouse, Nebraska Center and other
attractions, Miss Cashen said that the
first year she had moved to Lincoln she
had season tickets to four series of con
cert and theater productions and was un
able to keep up.
The attitude of the Nebraskan toward
their state is very bland, she said, as its
citizens seem to hang their heads with
out knowing but little about the men, op
portunities and attractions we have to
boast. "Under these oondtions," she
added, "it's no wonder we have a hard
time getting excitement going about any
thing." '
But for a different interpretation of the
loss of Nebraska talent, we turn to Merk
Hobson, Dean of Engineering college:
Not Unique
We are not unique in our loss of col
lege graduates," he said. "In fact, Iowa
and Kansas retain a lower percentage of
their college trained engineers than we
do."
From a 10 year study initiated by
Emeritus Roy M. Green, of 2037 engineer
ing and architecture graduates of the Uni
versity from 1947-56, 33 of our gradu
ates find employment within Nebraska.
While over 51 remain in the fields of
architecture and architectural and civil
engineering, less than 12 remain in Ne
fraska from chemical engineering. "These
percentages," Hobson said, "are not far
from the national average.
According to state registration figures,
of 234 architects residing in Nebraska,
only 66 are University graduates. And of
1,565 registered engineers, 35 are Uni
versity graduates.
Dean Hobson interpreted our use of so
much talent from other states in this way:
We in Nebraska gain by the influx from
other states of graduates trained at dif
ferent institutions under different profes
sors. The variety of points of view and
ways of solving problems which they
bring to Nebraska from their home states
cannot help but increase our progress.
"Wanderlust"
Tom Eason, graduate student in insur
ance work, suggested that students who
have a wanderlust without a definite
reason for leaving Nebraska "go to the

same conditions they will experience for
the rest of their lives if they settle in that
area.
"In this way a college student will not
only satisfy his wanderlust and to be
able to weight the merits of Nebraska
against other areas, but he will know for
6ure what his environment and that of
his family will be if he decides to settle
outside Nebraska." ' T , '
Eason had this to say about Nebraska
after he had followed this test: I plan to
settle in Lincoln or Omaha, two of the
great insurance centers of America, after
graduate school is completed.
"I spent two summers in New York,
one in New York City and one upstate,"
Eason said. "The difference in culture
between New York and Nebraska is one
of quantity and not quality. We are not
surpassed with our Community Play
house, the Broadway Theater Shows, the
Community Concert.
Salary Difference
"The difference in salary for the insur
ance man between Nebraska and the east
or west coast, although not really too
great, is easily wiped away by the higher
cost of living and the costs for commut
ing. In fact, almost everyone I knew at
the New York Life Insurance Company
spent at least one or two hours daily com
muting." Marsh Ruhr, senior in agriculture, said
that the challenge in helping to build our
state and unlocking its potential would
keep him in Nebraska. "I don't think the
prospect of jumping into a business
where my future advancement is planned
out gives a man much of a feeling of ac
complishment," Kuhr said.
Ruhr, national commander of the Persh
ing Rifles, has had the opportunity to
speak with youth from all parts of the
country and finds "that most youth in the
East and West don't even know what op
portunity is. Their parents never discuss
what their future can hold and the youth
don't take the time to find out."
The advantage of a smaller community
located near a city as Lincoln or Omaha
cannot be matched, Ruhr said, as a youth
has the opportunity to go to the city and
enjoy its cultural advantages without be
ing imprisoned in its social and juvenile
delinquency problems.
The study, however, is not complete.
No matter how many chapters are writ
ten on Nebraska's advantages, disad
vantages, or potentials by government of
ficials, students, professors and business
men, the final chapter will be written
by you as you decide to cast your lot with
Nebraska or not.
