untary organization for women on
the campus with last fall mem

At a tea during the first week
of school, upperclassmen will sign

of which will include about 20
women. The members of each
group study together either the
New Testament, Prophets, differ
ences in denominations, how reli
gion works with democracy, reli
gion and the war, and a variety of
other subjects.
The groups not only study a
problem, they decide on a course
of action, if action can be taken,
broaden their interests and under
standing and profit by group
thinking.

plans over-night "retreat" once
din ing the semester. The second
semester the groups are organized

ings and discuss new subjects.

No More Formal
Parties at U.N.
Until War Over
Formal parties for University
of Nebraska students are out
for the duration of the war.
The social program for the
coming school year will list
no function requiring formal
dress, it has been announced by
Dr. T. J. Thompson, dean of
student affairs and chairman of
the faculty senate committee on
student organizations. The com
mittee's aim is not to reduce
necessarily the number of func
tions but to encourage students
to introduce inexpensive enter
tainment features, Dean Thomp
son explained. The policy is
looked upon as appropriate to
the times and is expected to
apply till the end of the war
emergency.
Student organizations will be
encouraged to seek other ways
to reduce entertainment ex
penses, Dean Thompson said.
The faculty committee's action
is in line with requests that
hive come from several student
groups, he added.
The policy will apply to the
military ball, the junior-senior
prom and other all-university
functions M well as to smaller
parties.
