the War Chest, WSSF and Red
Cross. Last year each drive was
held separately and there were
many suggestions from students
concerning the unification of these
drives. This year there ideas may
be acted upon and the quotas
raised by each drive last year, will

rollerskating party, for which the
date has not been set.

Dean Clark Writes Article
For Biz Ad College Review
John D. Clark, dean of the col
lege of business adminitration,
urged business men throughout
the state to interest themselves
in the problems of post war ad
justment and to prepare to make
their views known to governmen
tal officials who will help formu
late policies.
Writing in the monthly business
review issued by the college, Dean
Clark said the most important

policies affecting the future de
velopment of business will have to
be made by the national govern
ment. He pointed out that con
gressmen and other officials at
Washington must be convinced
that the business men back home
have participated in formulating
the views that are presented by
business pokemen.
Problems Divided.
Dean Clark also pointed out
that post-war problems of Ne
braska communities will be di
vided into two classes. The prob
lems faced by communities with
big war enterprises will be quite
different, to those faced by com
munities which have experienced
no heavy in-rush of workers. "The
danger of conflict between these
two classes of Nebraska communi
ties makes it especially desirable
that the state itself be an active
participant in the development of
post-war plane," he added.
In concluding, Dean Clark ad
vised that the state must be re
sponsible for many projects which
cannot be handled by local com
munities, but it is equally Import
ant that -in the representatives of
the state there be found a disin
terested body ready to resolve the
conflicts between communities
which are. so apt to arise.
