WUS Official: Short-Praises mi i o won The world doesn't want charity, it wants a helping hand toward a better tomorrow, Peyton Short, regional secretary of World Uni versity Service, said in an address to AUF board members Thursday night. Short praised the local campus. charity organization for being the largest single WUS donor on the university level. "Your University is surpassed by some colleges, but no other universities," he said. AUF contributions to charities such as WUS mean nothing unless they come from the heart, he said If AUF wants to allocate from its efficiency and the success of its drive, it should keep its money, he said. "I speak for the world when I say we don't want charity; it is the spirit of charitable giving that we build on," Short said. There is an exciting world out side the United States, he said It is a world Americans never thought existed; Americans live in an abnormal society as abnormal human beings because of their eco nomic well-being, he said. Short told of an exchange stu. dent he knew who "wept for the world and its burden of hunger, want and ruin." The world cries for fellowship, gentleness and softness in its painful building process, he said. Short also spoke of the extreme need in the world's underdeveloped areas. "Two-thirds of the world's population goes to bed hungry at night; one in three persons In the world has malaria; and one in nine students in Indonesia Is afflicted with tuberculosis and must still maintain a full-time job to stay in school," he said. "The situation sounds depres sing and hopeless, but you are cap able of building and making possi ble the alleviation of some prob lems and the moderation of oth ers," he said. d Stu on the Spring Event committee, said. All organized houses and other organized groups may submit en tries in the various events. In the evening, the Union will spon sor a free street dance featuring a well-known band. The Union is also hoping to present three one hour shows in the ballroom by top notch variety talent, provided such an attraction can be arranged by that date, Marilyn Beideck, vice president of the Union Board, said. Beck declared that the event has the complete backing of the Ad ministration, most of the campus organizations and all of the individ uals concerned in planning the Spring Event. "It is hoped that the event this year will be a success and will gain the momentum to perpetuate Spring Event Days in future years he added. "The best thing that has hap pened is that most campus organ izations have fallen in with the spirit of , the thing," Brugmann said. "Not only have they given their encouragement, but many Russian Trip: Graduate To Speak Two New Yorkers, who toured the Soviet Union without guides and interpreters, will speak at the Uni versity Feb. 24 in the Union Ball room. Gay Humphrey and Ted Curran, graduates of the Russian Institute of Columbia University, also made a motion picture record of their 6,000 mile journey through Russia, and will, use it to show how the Russians actually live. The illustrated speech .on their experiences in Russia is open to the public and is sponsored by the University Convocation Committee Miss Humphrey and Curran,. both fluent speakers of the Russian lan guage, were accompanied by two other graduate students from Co lumbia. In August, the pair flew to Mos cow and began their six thousand mile tour of the U.S.S.R., visiting spots generally inaccessible to out siders. The pictures they took were removed uncensored from the So viet Union. Miss Humphrey and Curran spent 14 days in Moscow photographing the Russian people and their cus toms. They also visited the remote Uzbek Republic in Central Asia and the ancient city of Samar kand. IIIF The University and some 700 other American colleges are help ing to build these nations at the very base by educating the doctors and technicians necessary, he said. "These students don't feel sorry for themselves; even at the risk of their lives, they study in a con structive, positive and creative way to build a better world and to make the promise of tomorrow a reali zation," he said. These students don't have time to consider whether it'll be a hydro gen or atomic bomb; they're too busy building, he said. Outside World: !ked Souffle Launches Inquiry By ARLENE HRBEK Nebraskan Staff Writer A three-member Senate Elections Subcommittee decided Thursday to undertake a broad investigation into any efforts by "selfish inter ests" to influence federal elections or legislation with campaign con tributions. Chairman Gore (D-Tenn) said the "subcommittee intends to ex plore this matter fully to the end that the American people may be advised of the facts." - The move for the investigation developed out of the furor over an oil man's offer of a $2,500 campaign contribution to Sen. Case (R-SD) during the Senate fight over a natural gas bill. Draft Plan Adopted The selective service will begin to draft younger men into ths armed forces. The selective service made public President Eisenhower, scrapping the oldest draft-eligible men first and working down. ine new plan puts those in the who are not fathers, at the top of the list to be called first.

The event is scheduled not to be a big publicity stunt as CU Days or Veishea Days at Iowa State, but is geared for the entire student body. Some additional suggestions havt been received by the planning com mittee but have not yet been formu lated. One of these suggestions pro vided that during the Spring Event Days no one would be allowed to dress up; everyone would be re quired to wear blue jeans. For several years, students have been trying to organize a successful Spring Event, similar to the ones that are held each year on many campuses throughout the nation. Last year a Spring Event was planned, but was precluded by the Spring riot. After the riot, all that was possible was a dance featuring Billy May. The Student Council Is the coordi nating body for this year's Spring Event. Other organizations helping to plan the event are the Ag Exec Board and the Union. Students On Tour "The amount of freedom we had surprised us," said Curran. "We could wander around and talk to anybody, and when they found out we were Americans and then that we spoke Russian, that was some thing." The Russian Institute, which the pair attended, has been called school for spies by the Commu nist press.
