Foundation's UN Contributions Increase Tenfold This Year Tenfold increase in contribu tions of the University Founda tion to the university and its stu dents was reported at the com mencement . day meeting of the Foundation trustees Monday. Perry W. Branch, director-secretary, said Foundation benefits given the institution totaled ten times greater the first five months of 1948 than for all of 1944. He added that since 1944, the Foun dations contributions to the uni versity totaled $212,407. The trustees also were told that the Foundation's newest solicita tion program, the class agent plan, was "producing funds far in ex cess of expectations." Joe W. Seacrest, Lincoln, gen eral chairman of the class agent program, reported that funds have been received from 40 states and seven foreign countries. The plan has been in operation less than two months. Under its provisions, prominent alumni in each gradu ating class of the university soli cit members of their classes for funds. "Not only have the contribu tions exceeded our hopes," Mr. Seacrest said, "but the good will re-aroused interest in the univer sity through the class agent news letter program is doing much to stimulate closer association of the alumni with the welfare of the institution." Three representatives of the class agents spoke briefly: Ralph S. Mueller, class of 1898, Cleve land. Ohio: Merril V. Reed, class of 1914, Nek York City; and Rob ert E. Henderson, class of 1944, Lincoln.

Enrollment For Summer Hits 4,000 University summer school en rollment probably will total about 4(000 a drop of about 10 percent under last year's all-time record of 4,400. Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, director of admissions, said 3,800 registrations were in Thursday with more ex pected, especially from Lincoln and Omaha where high school faculties are still on the job. "The opening of the summer session at the' university this year was advanced a week," Dr. Rosen lof explained, "and consequently not all of the Lincoln and Omaha teachers who plan to take ad vanced work were aoie to register prior to the start of summer classes." He said the drop in total regis tration this summer was expected. Manv of the veterans students who were in summer school last year were graduated this month. Records Show Extent of Union Facilities Use A few statistics have been chosen at random from Union records to give some indication of the extent of the usage of cer tain Union facilities during the school year. Since the beginning of the fiscal to the end of last semester the Union had served 354,560 custom ers in the Crib, 153,736 meals in the Campusline, 37,833 at special luncheons and dinners, and 19,695 in the Main Dining room with still another 61,000 employes meals recorded, according to Director Duane Lake. Building services show 71,956 people accommodated for private meetings and conferences. Traf fic checks taken this winter and spring show that over 6,000 people come into the Union on an aver age weekday. Futher Check. A further check of recreational services shows Ping Pong equip ment checked out approximately 165,000 times and playing cards over 45,000 times. The use of the Book Nook and Music room can only be roughly estimated, Lake said. Attendance reports show nearly 10,000 people in attendance at Union sponsored dances and an additional 6,000 at organization dances. Convocations and lectures accommodated over 9,000, and Concerts about the same number. Sunday variety shows, plays and talent shows had an attendance of 13,720, with Siesta film hours another 4,725, Dancing Classes 2,878, coffee hous 5,125, bridge instruction, 881, open houses and special parties over 8,000 and craft instruction. Book reviews, tourna ments, and music honors account for another 4,000. Estimates Made. A much further analysis of Union operations would un doubtedly prove interesting but estimates can only be made of how many times a student may enter the building to lounge, meet Se UNION Face I iflidtanee' WHk Educators from 15 midwestern states will meet for three days beginning Wednesday on the University campus to formulate suggestions for the training of. workers in guidance and counseling.
