PWA Announces 15 Per Cent
Increase in Project
Funds.
STUDENT COST REDUCED
Petition Campaign Extended
To Reflect Greater
Campus View.
With the announcement of a
1.1 per cent increase in th
amount of money advanced by
the government under the new
PWA plan the advantages of
obtaining a student union building
as a result of the current drive
have been materially increased ac
cording to those in charge of the
campaign. With the new arrange
ment 55 percent of the necessary
amount is loaned instead of the
former 70 percent.
Since the students will have but
45 percent of the cost of the build'
ing to pay back the student as'
sessment will be considerably re
duced, according to Jack Fischer,
chairman of the drive. With this
added impetus to the campaign an
other canvass of the campus for
signatures on the petition is going
to be conducted in order to ac
auire enoueh signers to reflect a
greater majority of student opin
ion in favor of the union.
Thirty students have designated
their willingness to help with a
personal contact drive to get
more signers. According to those
directing the circulation of the pe
titions a majority of the affiliated
students have affixed their names
to the petitions and the barb ele
ment is yet to be reached.
"Although the unaffiliated stu
dents are the ones who will be
benefited most by the centralizing
force of the union, they are the
ones who have been slow in an

Miss Brownlee's activities have
been those which are connected
with sports, for anything along the
line of athletics interests her. She
likes to swim, and to ride, and to
dance especially. And then, when
she's tired, she likes to read. She
enjoys poetry, with the writings of
Don Blanding and Rupert Brooke

An Appeal to
Intelligence.
THE STUDENT COUNCIL'S union building proposal was laid before
June while an attempt Is made to
petitions. While some half the student body has signed the petitions,
the board apparently feels that a
endorsement of the idea before further action is taken.
Consequently the drive is being pushed forward through the ex
amination period by a few
Tho Ncbraskan has too often pointed to the advantages of the
union plan to again go into detail here. But the stupidity of arguments
against it, the inability of many who oppose it to appreciate what it
would accomplish, and the utter lack of foresight and patriotism to
the school and its interests demand one final effort in behalf of a
cause whose whole tenor is advancement of the University of Ne
braska and its student body.
Today large masses of unaffiliated students who certainly com'
prise the majority body of the university, complain that they have no
chance to participate in school activities, no chance to strike up ac
quaintances and friendships with other students, no opportunity to

Hoping to raise the economically stranded American farmer

Leisurely resting behind the

make their program a success. The
rehabilitation' division has received
advice and assistance from the ex

ACTION ON QUOTA
PLAN DELAYED BY
Panhellenic Board Refers
Sorority Membership to
Committee.
Referring the proposal for a so-
rority quota system to a commit
tee, the Panhellenic counci! "rn
day delayed action on the si .es
tion that sororities limit their
membership. Dorothy Catherj,
president of the group called
special meeting of the council for
Wednesday at 5 o ciock at which
time the committee will make a re
port and the body definitely decide
whether or not to establish a
quota system.
The committee which will inves
tigate quota plans is composed of
Kathleen Long. Dorothy cathera,
Virginia Selleck, and Erma Bauer.
The matter was referred to a com
mittee after a heated discussion
which ended with a vote indicating
the majority favored consideration
of a quota system.
The plan as suggested at a pan
hellenic meeting the first of the
month, proposed to either limit the
total number of women living in a
sorority hous- or to limit the num
ber of pledgt . The purpose of the
plan is to equalize sororities so that
smaller organizations will be able
to avoid financial difficulties. Pro
ponents of the plan feel that by
limiting the membership of soror
ities, smaller groups will be able
to build up their membership thus
putting organizations on a more
equal basis.
