Duty of the columnist: To explain the mean ing of his title. This duty we choose to slight, other than to pay that we like the word and, r,t "a later date when the campus fcene includes a few controversial issues, a likely probability, it thould have more significance. Wailing for Blood While waiting f .. possible blood donors to show up and make us happy by saying, "I'd like to do nate blood for the All Univer sity Fund drive for the World Student Service Fund and Com munity Chest," altho it really isn't necessary to say all of that just .-how up, that's all we ask we thumbed through several pages of the WSSF handbook which in cludes some interesting facts, facts that should make us realize how really well off we are. But then, as one of our friends pointed out to us, too large a number of students is capable of declaring, "Yes, I know that the students in Europe and other parts of the plobe don't have enough to eat, have insufficient clothing and housing, and are having a tough time of it, but I need my two dollars." In the hope that a reconsideration will show to such individuals that they can, if they make an honest effort, get along without the two bucks, we will give you some interesting info Eye-Openers 'In Fiance 40.000 students are enrolled at the U. of Paris. Some of these live in underground shelters, provided by the city. A medical examination of 28,000 Parisian students revealed that they are 17 to 20 pounds lighter than' the pre-war average. The percentage of tuberculosis in France has multiulied by ten times during the war, and mor tality by five times." And that's only a part of it. Food at Rock Bottom The food situation? What are students eating abroad? Check this: "Average daily caloric con sumption: Holland, 1630; Fiance, 1,500; Greece, 970; India, piobably less than 500; China 30,000,000 face starvation now." The importance of these numbers is in their relativity. "United States, 3,300 calories. The rock bottom healthful diet is about 2,000 calories, provided it inculdes a proper amount of high protein foods like meat and fats, now quite unobtainable in Europe and Asia." Give it thought, just a little, and maybe you won't think it's ask ing too much of the U.N. to con tribute a total of $13,200. Why, you may even find yourself not turning down the AUF solicitor when he approaches you during the drive which begins in No vember. They Signed the List During our wait Esther Lisius slopped in to put her name and that of Dona Manchester on the blood list, as did Eugene Berman, Marthella Holcomb, Jane McAr thur, and Keith Frederickson. Thanks, people you've got the right idea!

To the Daily Nebraskan: For the purpose of familiarizing the student body with the beliefs, aims, and purposes of the univer sity chapter of the United World Federalists, we offer the folow- mg statements: Statement of Beliefs We believe that peace is not merely the absence of war, but the presence of justice, of law of order in short, of government and the institutions of govern ment; that world peace can be created and maintained only under world law, universal and strong enough to prevent armed conflict between nations. Statement of Purposes Therefore, while endorsing the efforts of the United Nations to bring about a world community favorable to peace, we will work primarily to strengthen the United Nations into a world government of limited powers adequate to prevent war and having direct jurisdiction over the individual in those matters within its com petence. Statment of Implementation We shall cultivate an interest and knowledge in international affairs and the United Nations through publicity; speakers, for ums, and bringing outside speakers to the campus. We shall try to make the student body conscious of the goal for which we strive and shall try to arouse them to political action in its attainment. Disnssiom Leadley and Jeane Millan II 1 The United World Federa list organization on campus, which is currently holding a membership drive, is a member of the Student Division of a na tional UWF organization that boasts a membership list including such names as Albert Einstein, Mortimer Adler, Carl Sandburg, Stringfellow Barr, Mrs. Raymond Clapper, Senator Claud Pepper, Thomas Finletter, Dorothy Can field Fisher, Emery Reves, Jus tice Owen Roberts, Justice Jack son, Elmo Roper, Beardsly Ruml, Clarence Streit, Raymond Swing, and Mark VanDoran to mention but a few. Additional information on the organization or federalist move ment may be obtained by in quiring at the membership booth that will be set up in the lobby of the Union during the after-1 noons and early evenings on Is there a jazz fan in the house? This column belongs to you jazz fiends who like the top stuff put out by both old and wp-and coming artists. We've picked out some of the best. You'll have fun listening in on a few of these new records. Of special interest this week Stan Kenton, Red Norvo, Benny Carter, Charlie Shavers and seven other first-class boys who have adopted the title "Hollywood Hucksters," have just finished up a successful jazz season together they re putting out a new Capi tol release. "Happy Blues. Charlie Shavers he's the boy with the real-gone horn who played with T. D. when he was here. Charlie's a real jazzman He soloed about twice as much as Ziggy Eilman. We wondered for awhile if the great Elman were slipping or something. But when he finally did pick up that horn and take off( we knew EI man was still the one and only) A lot less wild than Shavers decidedly better. Since the death of that lovable favorite, Fats Waller, several of his old records have been re-is-sued one of the latest and greatest. "Ain't Misbehavin' ' with "Moppin and Boppin' " on the reverse side, featuring Fats and Zutty Singleton. This new Victor is a twelve-inch and really terrific. Which mug do YOU, read? Capitol News, Sept. ' 1. issue: 'Stan Kenton starts rehearsing his band this month... June Christy, who has been working as a single in Chicago 'and New York, will definitely return to ihe fold as Stan's canary." RCA Victor's In the Groove, Sept. issue: "The startling part of the return (of Stan Kenton) is that June Christy. . .would not return to the fold come the reorganization."
