Wednesday, May 5, 1943 Electrical Engineering Society C elebratesFiftieth Anniversary ties of the campus were reorganized and put under the direc tion of the war council. She is also a news editor on the Daily. Summer Council. Oldest engineering organization on the campus, the student branch of the American Institute of Elec trical Engineers, will hold an' an niversary banquet night at 6:30 at the YWCA. AIEE has been a professional society during Its entire fifty years of existence. I. M. Ellestad of the NorthwesP ern Bell Telephone Co. of Omaha will be the guest speaker. Also on the program will be the pre sentation of the branch prize for the best student technical paper for the year, a student report on the early history of the society, brief reminiscences by some of the early local members, and election of officers for the coming year. Present Paper The organization has an average of sixteen meetings each year, and at each meeting a student presents a technical paper. One paper is chosen to represent Nebraska at the annual district contest along with eight other state universities and colleges. In the last five years students from Nebraska have won this contest three times, in 1939, 1941 and in 1942. The Society of Electrical Engi neers as it was first called was organized in the fall of 1893. The minutes of the first few meetings along with the original constitu tion were lost, and the first regu lar meetine on record is dated May 28, 1894. A number of the early signatures on the member ship rolls still appear in Lincoln directories. The first electrical show was held in 1895 and has gradually developed into the annual engi neers' night which is being held at the present time. Electrical phenomena were so little under stood and even so little known at that time that the net result was an almost total mystification of the public on whether that was the intention or not. Of such great importance did this activity become that it drew national recognition and the prac tice became established to use Charter Day as the date for the show. Thus fifty years have passed and the E. E.'s are taking time out to celebrate the occasion. Navy Department Outlines Final V-12 Program Plans The navy department, in organ izing and planning their reserves to supply them amply and steadily with officer material, has an nounced final plans for their V-12 program for college students.

"The primary purpose of the Hold Initiation For Counselors Tonight at 7:30 Coed Counselors will hold initia tion ceremonies tonight at 7:30 in Ellen Smith.

Please, please, please get in the buggy, seniors, and get the senior gift goat of a $500 war bond accomplished so that the poor committee members will ' have a hide time to study for their rugged finals. This is the essence of the latest plea of the senior gift committee, in charge of collect ing voluntary donations from members of the class of 1943 to build a permanent memorial of the class for the university after the war. Jay Hoffman, committee chairman, went further in his plea to the lax seniors who have not yet contributed their $1 to the fund, and noted that over $200 has already been collected but there is but less than two weeks of school left.
