Buckley continues, "If accepted as Nationalist China, our delegation will act at St Louis as the Nationalist Chinese d e 1 e gation vwould act at the United Nations in New 'York City, as we try to further the goals and use the statagems of Nation alist China at the Model UN. It seems to be more than a matter of coinci dence that Mr. Buckley, who it publicity chairman of the Young Republicans (which recently sponsored the film "Red China: Outlaw), and is known to be somewhat to the right of center, would have the say as to what country the University delegation win represent Or if Mr. Buckley did not make the decision, then who did? If the University repre sents any country at the model UN, it would seem to be desirable that the country represented stand for the democratic princi ples of individual freedom similar to those professed by the United States. Na tionalist China, u even the amateur student of history (which I am) knows, hardly embodies democratic principles or anything even faintly re sembling a democracy. Chiang Kai-shek, while ad mittedly a friend of the United States (nobody else will be his friend), never once had the confidence of his people while leading his war-lord government on the mainland. However, all is not lost If, by some stroke of mis fortune, another delega tion's request is post marked earlier and the University has to choose another country, there is stm Spain, Portugal, Peru and the Union of S o u t h Africa. If the University delga tkm sincerely desires to gala materially from the model UN (which is aa excellent educational ve hicle), it should choose to represent a nation that adheres to, or has as its ' goaL a government rooted in freedom and d e m o c racy. Perhaps the delega tion could represent a coa-allgned, free cation, so ttat itadeats Daily Nebraskan fSeaOx Atfootaiei CcSfftaJe Pre. tatenuttoBaJ Pre tmrmmtaMnt JCatfowaf Airorttrtef SorHsc lawinlt.l fXiicteS tj Bmi tU fttadest VmLtm, UaeoU. fitbnU SXVENTT-OKE TEAKS OLD Us a ft TcitgfetM EZ-"m ext. 42$. tnt, UZ1 Ikkm a aa mm mutt toMt 8. a w Dm fM war. utwti av-a tmaq at MabmAw M jmm . saf aa aa atpwaaw a kMaai M a aaM a.Maa awi aa taa aart a ha nitnaa mxmm m t anui'aip. n laianaain at mm Inmf iiaa mH mm S mmrwwmtbr mmmatfmm m aa Mmt aay, a m. ar mm a Htm mnmtut i aary a, UNaV KziroKiai. mrJt I tt a a . j 0 iaf a a m4t a a aai 000 00 00 00 00 00 00 0 . . . j JsSflSJP ftvs4P JSJ hm .

Whatever the decisions as to the country r e p r e sented, this choice should be left to a responsible body of student govern ment, namely the Student Council, wilh the under standing that several countries would be put up to a vote and pro and con arguments presented for each country. The three delegates to the national council should be consulted and their suggestions should be heard. This is not a de cision to be taken lightly or to be made by a parti san element of two or three individual council members. The other delegations at the March model UN will be judging their fellow delegates and their repre sentative universities. I for one would not like to be identified with Nation alist China or any country that bases its principles on the decision of a dic tator and his clique of ad visors, unless I were sure that the delegation was representing such a coun try out of a necessity for all countries to be heard at such a forum and not out of respect for its pol icies. Herb A. Probasco Norm: I would like to see an answer to this, either in the form of at taching it at the end of the letter or in the news col umns. Who made the de cision and on what grounds? Ed. note: It is our Opinion that the decision to repre sent Nationalist China was a good one. Few chokes could have beea better. Among others, however, would have beea the U.S. S.R. Today this country faces eommoidsm oa m a a y fronts. Communism is the biggest threat we face to day. Certainly if we ex pect to effectively cambat what opposes as most. we shoaid know what we are fighting. A University I administrator satd pub- uciy oniy a tew weexs ago that eommaaism shoaid be taaght La the schools i if we expect to organize against it. We agree with I this type of logical think- 1 lag. Sarely, then, the Mo- del United Nations (as Air. Probasco aoted) is Maa excellent educational ve- s hick." AlthoBgh National- it China is a far cry from Communist China or s Rassla, there is still much to reap via this expert- race. We defend the choice I whole heartedly regard- I less of who made it Oar delegates may lean more a bout the problems of the U.X. and the free world , 1 today by representing Na-. I ttoaalist China than Lf tbey represented a "govera- I meat rooted La freedom and democracy". The best , method of learning is fey observing and stadyiag both sides. Otherwise we have only one side and one half of what may be gained edaeatioBally. auana (tut . aa l a tkSHH0tWsf 4w VaV VMt MM ft'Mw'MBSw VMhT fMNNM MMHf TUMiiJ WMMaMf (Ha wS aaar aarturtaamia tfea fnnaiw i ait atamna faailraliwi aar aa Fat-UsacWaa aaa aa aaa naa The Faculty By i By Tom Eason Last Thursday Big Tom 1 Turkey met his end un I der a silver fork rather than under a steel Ford. 1 The campus and the com I munity now look forward I to the urithday of Christ 1 (though one wonders if many merchants aren't 1 keeping both eyes on the I winter sales chart). in the season of good will toward men, it is ap- propriate that we look at the relations between peo- pie at the University. This I series of three pre-Christ-I mas columns is therefore addressed to the students, 1 the faculty, and the ad- ministrators of the Univer I sity and the problems that 1 these three groups share. I STUDENTS AND FACULTY Students study and teachers teach, I But out-of -class contacts are out of reach. 1 This epigram succintly i summarizes a pitiful I shortcoming of the Univer- sity of Nebraska. It is no less than shocking that the vast majority of students (and even the core of ac- tivity minded people who I emphasize the value of ex- tra-curricular endeavor) I have practically no con 1 tact with faculty members outside of the classroom. Few students are aware of the retirement legisla- tion passed by the last session of the Unicameral which greatly affects the I present and future income of the faculty. Few facul- ty members have ever 1 been in a University dorm- itory. Teachers and their former students often pass each other on the walks I without even a curt hello. What kind of contact am I bucking for? The same kind that I advo- cated in a series of arti- cles published by the Stu i dent Council Betterment I Committee last year. In simple terms, students and faculty members j must be personally ac I i Problem -w r ,i xYT 1 fjl tilC VV CCK Sponsored by Pi Ma EpsOon I National Mathematics Honorary Fraternity I had in my possession the other day, a label I bearing the number 3325 in large figures. This was I accidentally torn in half 1 so that 30 was on one piece and 25 was on the I other. On looking at these pieces I began to make f a calculation, scarcely I conscious of what I was I doing, when I discovered I this little peculiarity. If we add the 39 and the 23 to- i gether and square the 1 sum, we get as a result the complete original num ber on the label! Thus, 30 added to 23 is 55 and. 55 multiplied by 55 is 3025. Now, the problem is to find another number, com posed of four figures, all different, which may be divided in the middle and produce the same result. Bring or send answers to 210 Burnett.

ORGANIZATION ADVISERS Sometimes the ingrained attitudes of the faculty work against such contact. -In at least one depart ment, advisers to student organizations who take their positions seriously are ridiculed by their col leagues. In addition advis ers generally are overcau tious in their participation. Whether the reason is lack of interest or fear of be ing censored for domineer ing action, I do not know. In most cases advisers have far more to contri bute to the continuity and smooth functioning of the organization than they in fact do contribute.

Yet there could be more.'Selleck has an arrangement whereby any resident can invite a faculty member to dine free-of-charge. Yet invita tions are seldom extended by the men. Last year the Independent Women's As sociation prepared a list of faculty members who would like to participate in informal post-dinner programs. Yet little use was ever made of the list. Both students and facul ty are partially at fault. Harsh criticism of either group will likely solve nothing. Formal programs such as those above may furnish a spark. But all that is really needed is a little bilateral friendliness. Perhaps if you would con descend to invite some one to dinner.
