Bv popular demand in December, 1943, a new organ Ization named the All University Fund was created by War Council and recognized by Student Council to consolidate drives for money on the campus. The plan of the AUF was based on the supposition that students did not like to contribute four or five times a year to different organizations such as the Community Chest, WSSF, Nebraskans for Servicemen and other off-campus drives. The AUF was designed to unify these drives for the convenience of university students. Since the birth of the AUF, only two drives a year have been held on the campus one in the fall for the Community Chest and affiliated organizations and one in the spring for Red Cross. Lately, students have been griping about being con tinually asked for money. The failure of the fall AUF drive to reach its goal was proof that something was wrong. With a revised constitution, the AUF is planning its spring Red Cross drive. Changes in the constitution sub mitted to the Student Council include a provision that the AUF advisory board will meet with heads of all campus or ganizations and publications in the spring of the year and decide the dates for membership, subscription and benefit drives. This clause will prevent duplication of dates for the drives and will aid the student m planning his financing. Therefore, in the future, AUF will control, altho it will not conduct, all drives on the campus. As in the past the only AUF sponsored drives will be the fall Community Chest campaign and the spring Red Cross drive. Any other off campus organization which wishes to solicit money from students will have to make application to the AUF and have its goal included in one of the two drives. If students appreciate the work the AUF does not the money it saves by consolidating the drives, the best and only way to show.it now will be to contribute generously to the Red Cross goal. The Red Cross should need no special pleading for it, but an over-subscribed goal would add strength to the AUF and its work. S. J. Spectators Fail Vigil; Miss Follies Show BY JAN SOULEK. Scene: Nebraska theater. Time: Night before the Coed Follies show, Feb. 27th. Characters: Herman, Oshkosh and more char acters. "Herman my neck hurts," and Oshkosh began rubbing that part of his torso vigorously. "Rub it," Herman advised rather moronic ally. "Herman, when does ' this Coed Follies thing start?" At this point the addressed removed a D'orsey pump from his foot and grunted the vital statistics re quested of him. Herman! "Herman you'd think the Ne braska theater would have shown more consideration for sleeping comfort when they built this, wouldn't ya?" and Oshkosh adjust ed the veil on his stovepipe hat. "Go to sleep," suggested Herman. Silence. "Herman, pssst, hey Her man," summoned Oshkosh. And from the balcony, "Quiet down there you guys, how can we sleep if you sit down there and whis per like a couple of old maids." And so they were three. "Yeah quiet." And now they were four. Thus progressed the evening, a few snores and a change of posi tion. Morning came and they knew it rot for night and day were one and the same to the inside of the Nebraska theater and deepest Africa. The wrinkled black crepe dresses they wore served to cramp their bodies more and the calJ of the hour was Charlie Horse. Osh kosh began his Hey Hermaning again for sheer want of diversion while other less resourceful souls became subject to complete men tal instability. At last the law of physical tor ture exhausted them and they be gan an unbroken sleep. Their sub conscious minds created fantasies. Oshkosh tripped gaily with nymphs to various types of music. Herman visioned scenes of ama zonic women bouncing frustrated men and female congregations and experienced an engulfing sensa tion from the midst of a milling crowd. "Young woman, wake up," and Herman opened his eyes to find the follies show over and the audience dispersed. "Oshkosh we missed it. After all of that torture, we missed it." So, children, the moral of this story is never go where you wasn't 'sposed to be 'cuz you won't be what you're 'sposed to was when you be there. Writer's note: The Daily Ne braskan office is selling tar and feathers now. News in a Nutshell BY BOB BEASON MANILA Lt. General Tomoyuki Yamashita has been hanged in disgrace as a war criminal. The first big name figure to be executed in the Pacific war theater by the allies, the 60 year old Yama shita died in civilian garb at the end of a rope, a method of execution regarded by Japanese as "dis honorable." The general, who, because of his bril liant tactics, was called "The Tiger of Malaya," was charged with condoning atrocities committed by his troops in the Philippines. His precedessor, General Masaharu Homma, has been sentenced to die before a firing squad. BOMBAY The streets of Bombay are quiet today after a week of violence and disorder, but British troops by the thousands continue to patrol the debris-littered streets in armored cars. Seaman of the Royal Indian navy have returned to their duties. Two hundred twenty-eight persons died and over a thousand were wounded in the riots. OTTAWA Canada's dominion government has appointed an investigator to look into an espionage case involving 22 government employees. The em ployees are thought to have revealed secrets of the atomic bomb to the enemy. DETROIT Thus far. no. agreement, has .been reached in the General Motors strike. President Truman's fact-finding board has recommended a 19V& cent wage increase, but, according to R. J. Thomhas president of the C. I. O. Auto Workers, Truman has not forced the report of his fact-finding committee to be carried out. WASHINGTON The Case bill, a measure de signed to outlaw violence in picketing and create a federal meditation board, was recently passed by the house. Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach has described the bill as being so broad in its powers that "it may render unlawful almost any action of employees and union." Schwellenbach has said the bill should never have passed the house, but, since it has, it must now be killed or, if put into effect, it will initiate an era of industrial warfare. JksL Chk. Qwl $y WjartLeiia MoicomL After 150 students, their sisters, cousins and aunts, descended on us in one fell swoop concerning various specific and im plied allegations in recent communications with our limited public,' we were reminded of the philosophy of Ignatius Q. Busybody, who said, "A rose is a rose is no reflection upon the carnation, who is my favorite pea nut butter waltz." Go on, misconstrue it if you can, but watch out for that line down the middle of R street. Everybody was having such a wonderful time in the Union ballroom Tuesday noon we really regretted the one o'clock signal. Dancing is certainly a fine art with some of the undergraduates. Must break out that ragged Arthur Murray manual for another quick look. Don't bother me till six, James. We consider it a personal affront that the Mechanical Engineers made their party to night a smoker. Mother said we couldn't smoke till we could chew, and you know how scarce bubble gum has been. Reflections from an innocent side-line sit ter: After a fine showing Monday night, it seemed a shame for Kearney to lose their game to the Nubbins in the last minute. Espionage agents tell us they have only one non-veteran on their first string, and only two fellows below 23. From their stamina and lasting power, it would appear there are Legion clubs or high-boothed "lounges" out-state. Guess they don't have to pass around the birth certificates. What with these quick changes in the weather, one doesn't know whether to bring a coat or a blanket to school these days. Robert Miller, '13, Gets Captain's Bars in Manila Former Innocent Robert R. C. Miller, '43, has been promoted to the rank of captain, according to a release from 14th Anti-aircraft command headquarters in Manila. A member of the G-2 section of Brigadier General Handwerk's headquarters, Capt Miller has been overseas since February, 1945.
