Make Mine Dem ocracyj
In a democracy, instiutio'ns of charity are pretty largely
supported on a voluntary basis. For in a democracy there
exists a Christian doctrine that man will look out for the
welfare of others as well as for himself. From our view
point, charity comes not so much from the generosity or
feelings of sympathy and pity within man as it does from
man's acceptance of his responsibility to provide all mem-?
bers of his society with as good a life as possible. If man
believes that this kind of society should be preserved, it
would follow that he will take measures to see that as
many as possible within that society are well enough sat
isfied with it that they, too, will seek its preservation.
Thus, institutions like the Community Chest call upon
American citizens to give to those organizations and
funds which strive for better living in America. In our
own community, the Chest provides means for the worth
while activities carried on by such groups as Goodwill
Industries, Salvation Army, Jewish Welfare Federation,
Urban League, Camp Fire Girls, Boy Scouts, Catholic
Social Sen-ice Bureau and the YMCA and YWCA. The
benefits are felt right here on our own campus in the
appropriations allotted (of considerable amount, it should
be said) to the university YMCA and YWCA. St. Thomas
Orphanage and Tabitha Home are assisted by the funds
raised through Community Chest.
In answer to the question, "Why should I give?"
Ellsworth DuTeau, prominent university graduate and
former Alumni Secretary, has queried, 'Why should we
care whether or not this community has a year-round
training program in good citizenship, character and
Americanism for our youth? Why should we care about
the welfare work that makes Lincoln a better place for
us and our children ?
"Obviously the question is not, 'Why should I give?'
It should be, 'What is my share, what can I give ?' "
The Community Chest reaches university students
through the drive carried on by the All University Fund.
Thinking students, we believe, wont' have much trouble
in finding the $2.00 or more contribution which the AUF
is asking.

Another semester, another
"Rag" staff and another new at
tempt to cover Ag news better
than it has ever been covered in
I LUC Jjuai.
This denartment is sincere in
expressing intentions of fully cov
ering happenings and expected
happenings on Ag campus with a
high degree of impartiality. If
our staff of Ag reporters fails to
find out what's news with you
or your organization, let us know
and we'll do something about it.
Got some suggestions, gripes or
just plain comment about things
concerning Ag? Let us know.
That's what this column is for.
Maybe you think your ideas are
insignificant, but chances are that
a lot of students would be in
terested in what you have to say.
And by the way, we'll have guest
editors of this column from time
to time to give better comment
n a wider range of subjects.
It must have been a long night
for the junior livestock judging
team Thursday, Jan. 27. They
were all night in the train depot
waiting for a train to Fort Worth
which never arrived. Finally,
they boarded an eight a. m. train
for a round-about trip to Texas.
After another semi-sleepless night
Friday, they finally arrived Sat
urday in Fort Worth for the show
which had been held up three
hours awaiting their arrival.
Under these conditions the team
came through with a fifth place
out of fourteen contestants. Con
gratulations to this team and to
the primed judging team which
took top honors at Denver two
weeks earlier. Much rredit goes
to the team coach. Prof. M. A.
Alexander.
Say, Aggies, there's going to be
someone looking for you this
week. It will be the AUF solicitor
and we're suggesting right now
that you plan to give him or her
warm reception. Here's why:
this is the only charitable solici
tation in the University that you
will encounter, and in giving you
help to support four AUF ap
proved charity organizations.
Thus, you won't be plagued with
individual solicitors throughout
the year. Remember, you're not
hitting only one, two or three, but
four birds with one stone.
Study Course
Seetious Open
One or two sections of the
Reading and Study Habit Im
provement laboratory will be op
ened to second-semester fresh
men and upperclassmen this se
mester in addition to the regular
course offered to entering fresh

guidance consultant.
The first meetings will be held
the week starting Feb. 14, and
one two-hour meeting will be
held each week until Easter va
cation. Registration will be Mon

For the last few jears the Jun
ior Division has operated the lab
oratory, aiding many freshmen to
improve their reading rate and
comprehension. In addition they
report improvement in study
methods, concentration and use of
time. The laboratory does not
offer credi. hours, and there is
no tee. Interested students should
contact Mr. Charles or Mr. Fuhr
