There is a now per vice organization on the campus this year which deserves special recognition the Red Cross college unit headed by Eugene Berg. Through the interest, planning and hard work of several stu dents, the unit was organized, and given the go ahead signal by the Student Council. The unit is divided into five committees, Institutional Projects, First Aid, Swimming, Motor Corps and Publicity, The First Aid committee has made plans for special courses to, start this year. Courses will be open to all interested students. Swim ming committee will arrange for classes in swimming, life-saving, and water saving. The Institutional projects committee started its activities when its members helped with a variety show put on at the Veterans hospital this fall. Now the College Unit will take part in the Rod Cross Institu tional Christmas project plan. The Christmas project was designed by the unit committee to interest students in the needs of local in stitutions besides carrying out the real-concepts of the holiday. Thir teen institutions have agreed to cooperate in the program. Campus organizations and institution houses and clubs may take part in the program by selecting a home and providing some type of Christ mas entertainment there before vacation. The College Unit is willing to furnish transportation and make ill arrangements for the entertainment for groups that will offer their services. The entertainment would not be elaborate and would not entail a great deal of time and effort. For any group taking part it would be a worthwhile project in the Christmas spirit The Red Cross Unit has made a good start in this project and according to its present plans of operation promises to be of real service to Univer sity students. , Union-CUtA filj.

Tmx Inch SPECTATORS 75c PER PERSON The Student Union talent scouts are presenting their own version of "The Search" this week, round ing up acts for their talent show, which will be presented Saturday, Dec. n. Acts Screened This year, the general enter tainment committee plans to screen all acts before final pre sentation, so that a wide variety of the top numbers will reach the final show. This screening is to take place December 4, the deadline for registration. It's the chance of a lifetime for many NU entertainers, since all partici pants mav have their acts rated and filed' in the Union for easy reference to city and school groups reeking entertainment. Juan II lueea, Latin-American student, has had opportunities to present his south-of-the-border numbers many times since copping last year's talent prize. Taul Weltchek and Al Tully, who refer to their committee as the "GE," (general entertainment) are combining the Talent Show with the regular Saturday night Juke Box fling. GE and dance committee members have arranged the program that the show will be presented during intermissions at the record dance. Thus, the en trants can get the audience reac tion as well as the judges decision. Judges will be Duane Lake, di rector of the Union, two members of the GE committee, and a mem ber of the dramatics faculty. Coed Contest Another Union committee came up with a "red hot idea" this week an All-Girl imp ions Tourney. They are offering as a prize, a brand new trophy, which will be on display until some NU cuties claims it, as the best (fe male) ping-pong player on cam- Pu- . . .-. . , ... - v: This ought to De gooo. n turn-out in the gallery, but will require lots of cooperation, so that all spectators can get a glimpse of the plavers from the hallway. We suspect that if the demand is great enough, Dave Slusher's com petitive games committee winn ers will make some sort of seating arrangements. They are nopins for a good number of contestants from both organized nouses ana individual players, ho are in terested in taking home the gold prize for a year. Note to Workers All Union committee workers to who it may concern: During the month of September, 1948 the 1949 Cornhusker is sued a challenge to the staff of The Daily "Nebraskan." This was an invitation to a football contest which would be played according to the rules and by-laws set forth in the challenge. That letter was not answered, nor was any explanation offered. In short, the issue was dodged cmpletely by said "newspaper" staff. Now you have the audacity to publish a stupid and poorly written story (advertising your staff and their insipid nicknames) stating that the Cornhusker has remained silent on the matter. Ha! We have not remained silent. We have more pressing duties at this time than that of a football game. However, we will be very happy to defeat the rag "staff" next spring when the business of put ting out the best publication is not as pressing as at present. There fore, as far as we are concerned, you can take your beating next spring, for we do not have the time to spend on inferior menials. Snceringly yours in victory, the 1949 Cornhusker. P.S. Written on a Cornhusker typewriter, as are most of the better sarcastic announcements around campus. (Ed. Note) The Daily Nebraskan will refrain from commenting on the abun dance of gramatieal errors in the Cornhusker letter. The letter has a brave tone, but the reader will notice that it fails to mention a definite date, place, etc. We can only assume that the Cornhusker staff has not yet mustered enough courage and hopes that, by put ting the gane off until "next spring," the "Rag" staff will forget all about it. The Rag Staff is willing to meet the "yearbookie" staff whenever that "busy" organization can find time outside of its "stren uous" working hours, 1-2 p. m. every day except Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Dear Editor: As the mercury curls up in its little bulb for another winter's hibernation, we find ourselves faced with the basketball season. There is no reason to expect that this year will be different from any other with respect to the "disrespect" by Joe Fan. And there is even less basis for prediction of a lapse in the crusade by Joe Columnist to reform Joe Fan. The "divine right of referees" has been the theme of so many syndicated sermons that today we expect to find before and after every game a code for righteous living in our periodicals: Thou shall not boo. Thou shall not use the name of Collins or Pulliam in vain. Thou shall not boo.. Thou shall not hurl apple cores at the official scorers. Thou shall not boo. ... Perhaps this is the basis for sportsmanship. Terhaps not. I merely wish to request that we do not have so many column inches of editorialism wasted in this manner. At least not so long as Joe F. is so nearly justified in his condemnation of the atrocious officiating we have and have had. Bob Stake should be watching the Rag close ly these days for their meeting times, and be sure that all their assignments are finished, because there is a big Union workers party coming up, for which we'll all want to be eligible. Keep posted thru Campus News.
