The capacity of the Union din ning room limits the number of tickets to 300. Tickets and reserva tions for lunch at $1.25 per plate will be sold on a first come first served basis. This makes impera tive that students expecting their Dads to attend this luncheon buy their tickets immediately. Chancellor. Chancellor Gustavson and Ath letic Director George "Potsy" Clark will welcome the dads at the luncheon, beginning at 11:30 a. m. in the Union. The luncheon is expected to end about 1 p. m., giving those attending ample time to get to the Stadium before kick off time. "Interest of the fathers was shown by the fact that 32 Dads of the football team are expected to attend the game Saturday," Potsy Clark remarked. "I believe that the interest of the fathers is just as great in sons who are in school for studies alone." Innocents. The Innocents, sponsors of the banquet, believe that the fathers, as taxpayers, are in a position to influence the schools policy. In view of this, the students should make an effort to honor them on a special day.

He said . that regardless of whether or not the report was incomDlete the mailing of dupli cates would only slow down the huge clerical task of paying out Nebraska's share of the dividend to 119,000 veterans. If the name and address on the form is correct, the government will, in most cases, be able to supply the missing information. If this is not possible the VA will notify the man and he will be asked to submit another applica tion. The VA's Washington office was buried under a deluge of applica tions at a rate of more than one million per day during the first ten days after the forms were made available. The most frequent error made in the amplication is in item 4 asking for the veteran's serial number. Many put down their date of enlistment, rank or grade.
