A starvation banquet at the

Today approximately 15 car
loads of AUF solicitors will ride
from the Mall through principal
campus streets. This Paul Revere
ride will serve to distribute
pamphlets which advertise the
drive. Visits will be made at all
organized bouses.
A 50c TICKET, purchased at
the Starvation banquet, was good
for a cookie and a cup of coffee.
Proceeds were added to other
AUF contributions. The meal was
served between 4:45 and 7 p. m.
in Parlors XYZ of the Union.
Kosmet Klub, with $100, and
Coi n Cubs, with $50, led the list
of organizations making contribu
tions by Saturday noon. At that
time faculty donations totaled
$105. The drive will continue
through Feb. 11.
Peggy Lawrie is head of the
AUF planning committee which
also includes, Ted Gunderson,
head solicitor; Jo Lisher, unor
ganized students solicitor: La

Atkinson, assistant publicity di
rector; Mary Helen Mallory, cler
ical; Joel Bailey, special events;

APPROXIMATELY 300 stu
dents solicitors will canvas all
University campuses during the
next week. Proceeds from the
diive will go to the World Stu
dent Service Fund, United Negro
College fund, Community Chest
and USO.
Contributions to individual
funds are combined in AUF, the
only drive of this nature to be
conducted this year. It replaces
the usual two campaigns. For this
reason, final receipts are expected

NU to Compete
In '49 National
BridgcTourney
An invitation has been received
by the University to compete in
the 1949 National Intercollegiate
Bridge tournament, along with
174 other colleges and universities
across the nation.
During the past two months
three series of preliminary rounds
have been played to select the
four high teams for this contest.
Top ranking players so far are
teams: Barrett and Nordgren;
Longman and Terry Atkinson and
McDermott; Smith and Gotschel.
Only undergraduates are eligible
to play in the duplicate Contract
Bridge event for the title and
silver trophy.
The preliminary round, spon
sored by the Union, will begin
Feb. 23. This round is played by
mail in each individual school,
and the 16 highest ranking pairs
will meet for the face-to-face
finals on April 22 and 23 at the
Drake hotel in Chicago, where
the players will be guests of the
Intercollegiate Bridge Tournament
committee.
To insure representation of all
parts of the country in the finals
the country is divided into eight
zones, with two pairs from each
zone qualifying for the finals. Ne
braska is included in the West
ern Zone, made up of 25 schools,
including North and South Dakota
schools; the University of Colo-
. lows on the wall.
(A sheepskin not exactly bar
gained for,
But summa cum, supremely.)
Talk is all
Of grades and Grable, func

The list's forgotten, but does
not forget.
Behind the profound glass the
nostalgic names,
Grim graduate-guardians of
the senseless scene,
Shrewder than coaches,
deeper than the Dean,
Observe their freshmen with
a filial fear,
Would speak to them, if only
they would hear.
O listen to (he list, the list is
long:,
The list is wise (for books are
not enough)
The list is kind, the list may
save us yet!
"This list we leave you, let it
be the last,
Or else our death's a crime,
and you're to blame.
Your peace is our deathright,
your war our shame.
Consult your consciences! Be

ANTON LAWRY. Husker forward, aims a left hook at opponent
Carr Beseman at a high point in Saturday's game with Colorado.
The action took place in the final minute of the game near the
Colorado basket and precipitated a near riot on the Coliseum
floor. The Huskers were fortunate enough to eke out a 45-43
decision for their fourth straight conference win on their home,
floor. While both teams sunk 14 field goals apiece, Nebraska
dropped 17 charity shots to the Buffs' 15 for the margin of vic
tory. (Daily Nebraskan photo by Bill Poe.)

the truth
In what is rated error for a

The weather's worrisome:
outside this hall
The trees are trembling,
waiting on the wind
That lops their limbs and
makes the young fruit fall."
EVANS began to write poetry
while a student at Louisiana
State University. After receiving
his B.A. in 1935 he went to Italy
on an exchange fellowship and
studied Italian literature at Royal
University, Milan. The following
year he taught English at Athens
college in Greece and attended the
summer session at Oxford Uni
versity. Returning to the United
States in the fall of 1937, he
worked on his M.A. at the Uni
versity of Tennessee. After re
ceiving it in 1940 he began study
for his Ph.D. at Ohio State and
Vanderbilt.
Evans spent two years in the
Air Corps and after his discharge
did free-lance writing in New
York City for a year. Now in his
second year at the University, he
teaches sophomore English, Amer
ican literature and advanced com
position.

Kosmet Klub
Gives Colleges
Library Fund
Each of the ten colleges of the
university will receive $100 to
buy periodicals and books
through a donation made by the
Kosmet Klub, according to an
announcement from President
Norbert Tiemann following their
meeting.
Letters have been sent to the
dean of each college asking them
to choose a list of books, periodi
cals or other material that can
be placed in the library to be used
as reference material in that col
lege. The Kosmet Klub will pur
chase the desired publications and
see that they are placed in Love
Library for use.
Prof. E. L. Schramm, faculty
adviser of the Kosmet Klub, is in
charge of arrangements. The
money to be used for the entire
$1,000 donation will be taken from
the general Kosmet Klub fund.
Last year the Kosmet Klub gave
$50u to the Love Memorial library
for use of purchasing books and
periodicals for general use in the
library. This year it was decided
to give equally to each college so
that reference materials could be
obtained for all colleges rather
than for general use.
Kosmet Klub also has donated
money from their fund to the
Red Cross, AUF and other campus
organizations and charities.

and Anton Lawry began swinging

of two seconds the playing floor
was crowded with players, offi
cials, students and two lone police
men engaged in a reasonable fac
simile of a gang war.
QUICK ACTION by cooler per
sons, especially Colorado coach
"Frosty" Cox and Husker trainer
Buck Barger, soon brought the
crowd under order. Even with this
temporary lull, it took a full five
minutes to run off the final
minute of the game. Before the
final gun sounded, the busy ref
erees called five technical fouls
and disqualified two players,
Beseman and Lawry, from the
game.
Aside from the fisticuffs and
the usual excitement of a close
contest, the game held little in
terest for the fans. Nebraska's
passing game was off, and their
shooting was generally wild. The
teams scored only 14 field goals
apiece.
The victory was the Scarlet's
seventh in a row and their fourth
conference win against no losses.
