The first ' issue under the new editor, Bernke Slote, professor of English, contains a hitherto unknown article by the late Welsh poet. Dylan Thomas, and another by Man Sandoz, a portion of her memoirs which she is now writing. The Thomas piece vat ac tually published ia a Welsh newspaper when the famous writer planned and announced a review column during the years be wrote for the Swan sea and West Wales Guardi an, but vfckk never material ized. Miss Slote said the unlisted and uncollected article pro vides a rare insight into the author's lively personality at the time it was written in 1936. It was made available to Miss Slote by William White, a well-known critic and authority on Thomas. The Sandoz article, "Out post in New York," appears Missouri Synod) ftorden. Campiu Ptor YWCA History Covers 79 Years As the University of Ne braska draws closer to its centennial year, one group stands out as having now been organized for 79 of thoe- years the student YWCA, A recently-published history of the first 75 years of the YWCA by Mrs. Roy Green (Norma Kidd, '15) carries the story of these years from the time the organization was first noted in the weekly stu dent newspaper. The Hesper ian. The forerunner of the Daily Nebraskan stated on Oct. 1, 1884: "Young ladies of the Uni versity have organized a Young Women's Christian As sociation thereby accomplish ing two good acts. They in crease the efficiency of the cause on the school and abol ish at least one of the Uni versity Slates. Let the good work go on." In the early years prayer groups, bible and mission studv classes made up a large part of the YW pro gram. The young women of that day worked for "wom en's rights" and several planned for careers assuming this meant foregoing mar riage. By the end of the first 75 years, reports Mrs. Green, "the organization was made up of a group of short-haired self-confident young women, more accustomed to trousers than to skirts. They were com pletely at home in the world of the vacuum tube, the tran sistor and jet propulsion . . . They would rather plan a dis cussion group or a political caucus than a prayer meet ing. The franchise was tak en for granted . .." Membership has varied from 32 in 1892 to nearly 1,000 in 1922.

In the 1920's and 1930's a mock League of Nations, the Stu dents in industry projects, the efforts toward better in terracial relations and better coonditions for women in fac tories. The middle 1940's the Peace Conference and UNES CO meetings which welded the whole campus into one project and sent students scurrying to the library to seek information on their special corner of the world. Early in the 1950's the inetr racial efforts were empha sized again in "testing teams" rather like the "sit-ins" of the South at a later date. Largely due to the persistent action of the YWCA for over 30 years, all University hous ing was de-segregated in 1950." "A fitting climax to these projects offering aid and searching for understanding came in the Hungarian proj ect just as the Association was rounding out its first 7o years. Five young Hugarian refugee were brought to the University as students." It is today as it was some 80 years ago "The most important thing is the last ing impression made on in dividual girls, the clearer thinking, the deeper spiritual stability, the more intense de votion to service, which is multipled as each life so im pressed touches other live." Features Miss Sandoz begins the chapter in a fashion that all Nebraskans will understand: "The first thing I hung on my wall in Greenwich Village was my cowboy hat.

The list is divided into three parts: humanities social studies, and science and technology. Reviews of the books will be included in each edition of the Summer Nebraskan. HUMANITIES READING ROOM Masefield, John, The Blue" bells o fother Verse.. This new poetry collection of England's poet laureate is sure to please the reader who delights in well-turned phrases and the imagery produced by a judiciously chosen word. There is no unifying theme in this selec tion, but many subjects are represented. A brief dia logue in blank verse be tween Sir Francis Drake and an old ship's fiddler, Christmas Eve, a cricket game, pieces concerned with history, and mood poems of description are all included. Brester, Dorothy, Virginia Wolf. Virginia Woolf com bines biography, criticism, complete chronology of her works, and a selected bibli ography of books and ar ticles about her. This is an excellent source book for the beginning researcher, or else can provide interesting reading for the casual read he who wants to learn a bit more about this stimulating figure in American lit erature. Braidwood, Robert J. Ar cheologists and What They Do. This brief, but excellent survey of the field is writ ten by an author who is well versed in archeology, and at present is a profes sor at the University of Chi cago. His area of specialty is the Near East, but the books gives a well-rounded picture of archeology. Prob ably this book would appeal only to the curious and ca sual interests and as such provides a fascinating view of the work involved, digs professional preparat i o n, preservations and special problems involved. Badura Skoda. Eva and Paul. Interpreting Mozart the Keyboard. This rather technical work, translated by Leo Black, -would be in valuable source material to the serious student of mu sic. The main purpose of the book is to study Mo-" zart's style of presentation of his music as can be de termined from his original scores and contemporary sources. Not limited only to the piano, the book also dis cusses the style invived in Mozart's other instrumental music, vocal and conduct ing aspects. Sandoz the Old World whose crying reminded ber of ber own mother. She shares with you ber search for an apartment in Greenwich Village among the Italians and Germans, the search of the draft board for an elusive tenant, and an os teopathic physician in a low er floor who was treating such diverse patients as Mar lene Dietrich, Countess Tols toy and Eleanor Roosevelt, Editor Slote said the arti cle is "some of Man Sandoz at ber best."

CHILDREN 50c V Kerr, Walter. The Decline of Pleasure. Walter Kerr, noted drama critic, here presents a protest on the contemporary age and the changing modes of pleasure. Children who once read Robinson Crusoe for thrills, now voluntarily choose to study load maps. This is an indication to the author of the impossibility to the modern American of finding pleasure in things of true worth, i.e. good music, beautiful scenery, fine paintings, etc. Unless there is material value to be gained, the author feels that today's man suffers guilt complexes when doing some thing which would appear to have no value to his job or standard of living. A very provocative books, it is one that most readers would enjoy, whether or' not they agree with Mr. Kerr's thesis. Fadiman, Clifton, ed. Fan tasia Mathematica. This is not a book for the mathe matician; rather it is de lightful reading for the non-mathematician who will be amused and surprised by the well-chosen collection of puzzles, stories, fables and poems which alf deal with aspects of m a t h e matics. Some ideas presented are by noted authorities In the field, others by good auth ors with an exciting tale to tell. Authors included are lewis Carroll, H. G. Wells, Willy Ley, Christoph er Morely and Hobert Hein lein. SCIENCE READING ROOM Mason, B. J., Clouds, Rain and Rainmaking. A concise, up-to-date account of recent researches on the formation of clouds and the development inside them of rain, snow, hail and light ning for the reader who does not require a detailed treatment but wishes to know ipoi's about cloud phy sics than easy be gleaned from popular articles. Hewlett, Richard and An derson, Oscar, The New World 1939-1946. Sponsored by the U.S. AEC, this is volume one of the official history of the Atomic En ergy Commission and cov ers the period up to the dropping of the first bomb. It is a well written ,ac count by professional his torians who knew some thing about science and technology. Born, Max, Physics and Politics. A collection of four lectures by a Nobel prize winner on modern physics, the concept of reality, the limits to our image of the universe, and nuclear war politics, clearly and simply written. Thomson, S i r George, The inspiration of Science. A 1937 Nobel prize winner explains the kind of way in which "pure" scientists think, from Ptolemy to Ein stein. Struve. Otto, The Uni verse. The second series of Karl Taylor Compton Lec tures in Astronomy cover ing the solar system, the stars, the galaxies, radio as tronomy, binary stars and variables, and man nd the universe, in an attractive, well illustrated book. SOCIAL STUDIES READING ROOM D. F. Fleming. The Ori-. gins of the Cold War and Fred J. Cook, The Warfare State. Sicede?s Coffee Shop Lunches Snacks "Where Campus Friends MeeC NEXT TO NEBJL BOOKSTORE STUDIED THE W0HL0 wawit mvm mrmmmm i l --yea j 4 me A r'WWli i Reading List Far from being pacifists in the ordinary sense of the word, Professor Flem ing and Mr. Cook both ar gue that we, as Americans, have failed to achieve a balance of power through the most atrocious of bung ling. Cook, in an appeal to empathy, and Fleming, in a detailed study of Russian foreign policy, contend that we have misread Russian tinuously since the end of World War II; the Soviets have been, assert these two authors, far more will ing and with far great er reason to seek peace than have we. Cook goes beyond this point in tones reminiscent of C. Wright Mills to ex plore the chummy relation ships among the Military, such manufacturers of war material as General Dyna mics and Boeing, the U.S. economy as a whole, and the mass media. With con vincing statistics and pub lic utterances of the great, Cook points out the vested interests which these groups have in the main tenance of a war economy in America and the meth ods they have used to frus trate lessening of tensions. In an especially frighten ing chapter on home-grown Fascists, Cook quotes some of their wilder calls for war. Perhaps works such as those of Fleming and Cook can have some healthy counter-influence in these times, when as Cook says, 'the voice of the cuckoo, well-financed and promoted, was resounding through the land.' Robert Ardrey, African Genesis, and Carleton S. Coon, The Origin of Races. Dr. Coon has performed a Herculean task in collect ing, correlating and inter preting data pertaining to human evolution from many sources. The result is a technical but generally readable survey with the controversial thesis that man evolved from a lower form not once but five times, independently in dif ferent localities. The more popularly writ ten African Genesis also has a startling thesis that man is still an ani mal, the product of his ev olution, and that some of our most cherished social institutions are responses to our animal instincts. Ard ry pessimisticslly points out the animal bases for na tionalism, private property and war; his general feel ing is that conflict is ine radicable. A playwright by profession, he writes com etently on evolution b u t presents his materials dra matically and occasionally in purple prose. Neville Williams, Captair Outrageous. This is a good historical narrative of some of the boldest men of all time. The author has limit ed the book to the true pi rates and brignds, not the commissioned privateers. Geoffrey Bibby, Four Thousand Years Ago. The age of Hamurabi, Moses, Tutankamon, Agamemnon, Theseus, the Argonauts, the Hittites and Stonehenge was ws a jumbled and exciting age of migration, creation and war. The author of The .Testimony of the Spade is well qualified to synthesize the mass of material into panorama of the world of 2000 B.
