It's Up To You!
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.

braskan office is selling tar and

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.

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.
