Mental Health, World University Service and Commu nity Chest will be the four charities supported by All Uni versity Fund in the coming year, Phyllis Colbert, president, an nounced. "AUF has tried to achieve a balance between local, national ind international charities," Miss Colbert told a group of prospective workers in a mass meeting held recently. MENTAL HEALTH will be a part of the AUF drive for the first time and will receive 25 per cent of the funds collected. The organization was considered lest year and the AUF board felt that the change would be wise. Mental Health was rated high on the AUF student poll conducted earlier this semester. Fifty-one ' per cent of all stu dents in hospital beds are men tall patients, the board pointed cut. Cancer Is the other national charity represented by AUF. It has been supported in past years and ranked first in the poll. Twenty per cent of the money received will be given to the national cancer organization. WORLD UNIVERSITY Serv ice will receive 20 per cent of the funds collected. The organ ization is entirely dependent on students for funds. WUS is at present conducting a research project on the University cam pus. The student organization aids student by supplying them with food, clothing, medical care, books and housing. WUS has the support of 600 American universities in addi tion to help given for foreign schools. ' "THE LINCOLN Community Chest provides a local touch to the group," Miss Colbert said. Thirty per cent of the donations will be given to this organiza tion which in turn supports 29 other charities. Community Chest gives $8,000 to University YMCA and YWCA each year. "There is nothing more Im portant that helping others," Rocky Yapp, former AUF presi dent, said at the mass meeting. "AUF provides an opportunity to do real service for the Uni versity," Yapp said. He con gratulated the AUF Board for Philosophy Club Philosophy Club will meet Wednesday, at 7:30, in the Union Faculty Lounge. . Current topics will be dis cussed informally. The meeting Is open to all interested students. The Outside World By WILLIE DESCH Staff Writer Democrats Refuse Support WASHINGTON National Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell de tiied the Democratic Party's support to James Roosevelt and Rep. Robert L. Condon. The reasons given by Mitchell for withholding support for these candidates is that Roosevelt has been charged with adultery by his wife in a separate maintenance suit. Condon, a first term member, is seeking re-election in the face of charges Which he has denied that he is a security risk. Condon said that he resented the contents of Mitchell's letter and said that he believed Mitchell cannot speak for thousands of Democratic voters who evaluate political candidates upon their fitness and basic Democratic philosophy. Mitchell said he believes most Democrats feel candidates serve their parties best by standing aside from election contests until personal problems are disposed of in the proper place. Toscanini Retires NEW YORK World famous Arturo Toscanni, conductor ji the NBC symphony for the past several ye'ars, has retired. The announcement was made Sunday night by Brig. Gen.

A letter from Toscanni said that "now the sad time has come when I must reluctantly lay aside my baton and say goodbye to my orchestra." Toscanni, the son of a tailor from Parma, Italy, had a dis tinguished career as an opera and symphony conductor when he came to America in 1908 to conduct the Metropolitan Opera.
