Nebraska n, Union Sponsor Defense
Group to Perform Service in Crisis
Formation of a committee for
national defense to correlate stu
dent activity in the Union with
the work of the United Service Or
ganization, the British War Re
lief Society and other such agen
cies, was approved yesterday by
the Union board of managers.
Work of the committee will be
to organize defense projects that
students can work on in co-operation
with the already organized
agencies.
Co-sponsor of the project with
the Union will be the Nebraskan
which will have two representa
tives on the defense committee.
Three student members of the
Union board will serve on the
committee as well as two students
selected at large from the campus.

Students Organize
Local AFC Chapter
First meeting of the university
chapter of the America First com
mittee will be held in parlors X
and Y of the Union at 7:30 to
morrow night. According to Rob
ert Lowe, organizer and chairman
of the Nebraska chapter, "All
Americans are urged to attend,
but no communists, fascists, so
cialists or Unioners are allowed
membership in the AFC."
Organized as a student chapter
of the national organization which
exists for the purpose of "keep
ing the U. S. out of war and Am
erican men away from foreign
shores," the AFC on this campus
was started when Lowe recruited
35 members to discuss the world
I-F Council
Holds Rushing
Discussion
Members of the intorfraternity
council met in their office in the
Union yesterday for the first meet
ing following rushing two weeks
ago. Kenneth Holmes, president of
the council, presided over the
meeting.
A general discussion of rushing
was held and it was concluded
that the fraternities had experi
enced a successful rush week on
the whole. However, it was pointed
out that they are still many men
on the campus who would make
good material for a fraternity and
it was hoped that these men would
be contacted and asked to mem
bership in the various houses.
C.' M. Freeark, head of the Fra
ternity Board of Control was pres
ent at the meeting and gave a
talk on the results of rush week
and the situation of the general
fraternity setup here on the cam
pus. UN Enrollment
Falls to 5,324
This Semester
An eleven and one-half percent
drop, due to the national emer
gency, was noted in the enrolment
at the university this year, as
5,324 students registered in com
parison with 6,001 last fall. These
figures do not include the school
of medicine at Omaha, which has
an enrollment of 450, the students
in the extension division, the stu
dents in teachers' college high
school, or pupils at the school of
agriculture at Curtis.
"This figure was even a little
better than we had hoped for,"
said G. W. Rosenlof, the registrar.
"The story at Nebraska is the
same as at other schools in the
midwest, however, exact data on
the enrolment at the various other
universities, has not been obtained."
confirm defense committee ap
pointments later in the week.
Emphatic, was the statement of
the Union activities committee
that projects to be sponsored by
the defense group would deal
strictly with relief or morals de
fense; that the student defense
group was not to be a group to
propagandize war sentiment, but
rather to be of some practical
service in the present crisis.
Similar to projects conducted by
students in the war years 1916-18,
tentative schedule of projects to
be put into immediate operation
by the committee includes:
1. Publication of a monthly
news letter to be sent to all mem
bers of the Army or Navy who
were university students here last
year.
2. Distribution of yarn and

hear them issue a loud and vig

competition between the two staffs

made public.

there are men on your Daily staff,
