With Spring Wiil Come Stormj The University has now settled into a relatively peaceful state before the storm breaks during the legislative budget hear ings this spring. The University from chairman to Chancellor has been maticulously trimming away all the fat in the fund requests from every depart ment and project and area in the institu tion the last many months. Their finished product a fat-free, lean budget was pre sented to Governor Morrison for approval ' in a long session Friday afternoon. CHANCELLOR HARDIN called it a "blueprint of what the University can do for Nebraska and Nebraska people" a proposal for further investment in the fu ture of this state. A future in which we all have a stake. Because we are such a vital part of this blueprint, we as students should do all we can to help the University in trans lating itself and its needs to the people and their legislators. The Nebraskan plans an extensive evaluation of the areas in which the Uni versity is requesting financial assistance, improvement or extension. The result will be a series of articles examining the needs of the University. They have asked for tax-supported money in certain areas and the Nebraskan will examine these areas and attsmpt to show in what ways this money is needed and will be used. THESE ARTICLES will be for the in-, formation of not only students and faculty here but also for the people of the state and their legislators. For this reason, we urge each student to forward the articles back to their homes throughout the state so that the out state area may also read HOLIDAY Sim ... Idea Sweeps Organizations THE UNIVERSITY'S newest tradition is spread ing like a brush fire through the organizations on campus. And for good reason. The All-University (students, faculty, admin istrators, janitors, etc.) Holiday Sing scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 19, is the only event in which every organization on our three (don't forget to in vite Med School) cam puses is sponsoring and can take an active part in making it a success. As each of the groups holds their regular meet ings, the subject of the Holiday Sing is brought up and the individual part that the groups are to play is discussed. So far these discussions have been marked by general enthusiasm a good sign. Student Council has of ficially voiced its approval of the Holiday Sing idea by introducing and pass ing a motion briefly out lining a possible program and naming certain or ganizations which are best equipped to do specific tasks connected with the project. Builders has approved the idea and is proceed UNICEF ... Sixteen Years of Assistance ON TUESDAY the U n i t e d Nations Children's Fund will mark its 16th Anni versary. Many changes have taken place in the world since the immediate post-war era when the United Nations created UNICEF to bring emergency relief to chil dren suffering in war-torn countries. UNICEF's first goal was to provide for these children clothing, shoes, and at least a glass of milk and some fat to be spread on dark bread. The initial emergency phase has long since passed, and the millions of children UNICEF helped then are adults now. In their place, however, are other children in different parts of the world, with chron ic needs. They in turn are urgently in need of help. Most of the children growing up in the developing countries today lack the neces sities of life to which they are entitled as human beings and which are vital if they are to become healthy, productive adults. Those in economically advanced countries who get clean water by turn ing on a tap, and cook a meal by push ing a few buttons, may find it difficult to grasp the meaning and extent of the misery common in Asia, Africa, Mid dle East and parts of Latin America. . The causes of these conditions are not hard to identify; they are the ever-present pover ty, ignorance, hunger and disease, each of which reacts on the other. These con ditions, while hard on all, inflict particular suffering on children with their special needs and susceptibilities. Poverty and ignorance give rise to hunger. The ill fed become an easy prey for disease. The sick cannot work and therefore remain poor.

The uneducated cannot hope to earn enough for their needs. IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, great effort has been expended to break this vicious circle by the developing countries themselves, by the developed countries, and by the agencies of the United Na tions. Capital for investment has come from all these sources to build the fac tories, ports, roads and railroads and for the modern agriculture necessary for development. It is only recently, however, that governments have begun to appre ciate the necessity of investment in human beings. It is as important to have healthy and trained machine operators as it is to have machines. Progress must start with children, for from their ranks will come the farmers, teachers, professional and executive staff of tomorrow. UNICEF has since its inception de voted all its resources toward helping de veloping countries to help their children. In 1950, the emphasis of its aid changed from emergency needs of children in war torn.countries to long-range needs of chil d r e n in underdeveloped countries. Al though the majority of this aid has been given to the fields of health and nutrition, more emphasis is now being placed on aid to education, vocational training and so cial services for children. With the experience of sixteen years to guide its steps, UNICEF is better equipped than ever before to contribute to a program designed to give new life and new hope to children in whose hands will rest the peace and prosperity of the world.

It is important that tnis be done and that we students discuss tne University with our parents, friends and neighbors back home. The Council's new Senators Program will help a great deal if students cooperate by contacting their senators and participate in the Senators Projects. Now that the Governor has the budget and has heard the University's presenta tion, he will examine it even more closely with the state's tax commissioner and the legislature's fiscal analyst. The next big step for the University's $36.9 million bud get request' is the legislature's budget hearings which will begin in the spring and could well continue for a couple weeks of day-long sessions. During these hear ings the Governor will make his recom mendations for all the budget requests from the state, including the University's. The hearings will then be followed by de bate in the chambers and the big day when the legislators push their buttons to vote approval or disapproval of the budget committee's recommended alloca tion from the general state fund for the University. This will happen sometime in July. UNTIL THAT TIME the University will be appearing before the people and legislators through the Chancellor, admin istrators, faculty and students. Take or send today's Nebraskan home and do the same with all of the following articles which will appear on the Univer sity and its needs. It is the best way you can help us help the University.

Taylor and pub- 1 lished on Dec. 3, 1962, is plainly a poor attempt to I defame and discredit the Masonic organization by comparing it to the sub rosa organizations of our campus. It is a shame he has directed his mud throwing campaign to- ward an organization which has been respons- ible for the construction i and maintenance of hos- pitals throughout the coun- I try which are used pri- marily to benefit crippled children. In . addition, ma- sons perform thousands of unpublicized benefits for I society. I Sub rosas comparison? Why did you not choose I to compare the modern I day campus sub rosa to early Christians, Taylor? 1 Maybe it is because the only similar goals were survival? On what basis I can you compare the ma- sons and sub rosas? Ma- sonic membership is not secret; any mason will ad- I mit his affiliation. Taylor has extracted a I portion of his history text without conveying the au- s thor's meaning. If he I would continue to read his text, he would disvoc- er that although the Anti- Masonic party sought to endorse Henry Clay as a I presidential candidate, he strongly refused by telling I the Anti-Masons they were I "in the pursuit of pow- I er . . . without regard to I the means of acquiring 1 it." In defeating his own case, Taylor so aptly I quoted, "anti-masonry took its place among the strange enthusiasms for which Western New York was noted." Castro has outlawed ma- sonry in Cuba. Does this mean that 50,000 masons in Cuba are "anti-demo- I cratic" as you quote? On 1 the contrary, the opposite is probably true. George Washington was a Mason as were many of our presidents. I By expounding his un- I founded opinions and im- I plications, Taylor has dis- played his ignorance and 1 prejudice. In the future, I respectfully suggest that Taylor might open his his- I tory text with an unbiased I mind. His vain effort to defend the campus sub a rosas by casting doubt on I others falls flatly.

THE UfcHT GPtf MORE fAWFULEYEW PAt India on Horns of Dilemma Is Red China? s Cease Fire Sincere Or Spider's Invitation to Fly? (Editor's Note: The fol lowing is the second ar ticle dealing with the border dispute between India and China by an Indian student. Rajindar Kumar Maniktala is a graduate student In civil engineering working to wards his Masters degree in February. He is pres ently working for the Ne braska State Highway de partment and plans to eventually return to India after receiving his educa tion and training.) by rajindar kumar maniktala PEACE ON LIPS and a gun in the inner pocket this sums up China's actions in recent years. China, who unleashed an ' undeclared war on India's northern border, Oct. 20, still swears by the sacred five principles of peaceful co-existance. The affable and sweet tongue of Chi na's "double-talk" has now been laid bare for the whole world to see. In the past China has ad dressed many sweet words to India. History bears witness today that "panch sheel" (five principles of co-existance) is at best a mat ter of convenience. THE CHINESE CON CEPT of co-existance is an invitation to trust them implicitly rather than re spect for the territorial integrity of the other country. Once trust has been "established" China's next step is to in sist that the other coun try trust China's "good" intentions. With this trust China imposes an obliga tion not to question China's action and mo tives. China is sure of its motives. Mao has pin pointed them in his "Problems of War and Strategy." He has said: "Every communist must grasp in truth that politi cal power grows out of the barrel of a gun! We can even say that the whole world can be re molded only with the gun. As we are advocates of the abolition of war, we do not desire war; but we can only be abolished through war in order to get rid of the gun we must first grasp it in our hand." There is something of the spider's invitation to the flv in these words. WITH THIS IN MIND, I wonder how much sin cerity (if any) China has in their unilateral cease fire. To me it seems like Peking's usual method of causing confusion y per verting the meaning of words and making state ments which bear no rela tion to reality. It fitted in with the pattern of their deceptive propaganda. In fact, the cease fire order tut, . . V I 1tS..JtL . n by China's government was a diabolic attempt to put India on the horns of a dilemma. The dilemma was that if India attacks the Chinese forces during this period (that is before the date of the announced withdrawal by China's army), we would have been accused of having provoked China to further action. If on the other hand, India goes on preparing her defenses during this period, China will claim that we forced their hand and further action. What China really wants is to stop all aid to India and force India to stop her preparations to defend its territory dur ing the cease fire period so that "the Chinese arm ies will have ample time to regroup and assess the situation. At the end of the cease fire period, Chi na will find some excuse to renew its aggression against India. By stopping the fight China (since they have nothing to lose) might have hoped to con fuse India and dull the Indian people's enthusi asm for defense of their country. ACCORDING TO C.

When China found that India was getting closer to the West and the West was getting nearer and nearer to India, they per haps felt that it was not good to push on further. China might have der cided on a cease fire when they found that their "partymen" in India the communists were not really as powerful as they thought and that the trade unions and workers were not divided as they had hoped. WHATEVER MIGHT HAVE BEEN the reason, whether the cease fire gesture was friendly or vicious, India should take full advantage of it.
