More than CO college of medi
cine alumni have sent in dues and
entrance blinks for membership
in the recently consolidated Omaha-Lincoln
alumni associations,
according to Ellsworth DuTeau,
secretary of the parent associa
tion. Following the medical alumni
meeting in Grand Island May 2,
to which came DuTeau, Dean
Charles W. M. Toynter, head of
the Omaha college, and Dr. A. E.
Bennett, prominent alumnus of
Omaha, all backers of the pro
posed consolidation, an enthusias
tic campaign has developed.
Enthusiastic response.
Over 1.700 membership invita
tions are being mailed out at the
rate of 80 a day to the Omaha
medical grads both in America
and abroad. "Returns are coming
in" DuTeau explained, "in every
mail, all alumni seeming enthusi
astic about the new program. A
special section, has been entered
in the Nebraska Alumnus, and
news letters may be mailed out to
the new alumni members next
year."

Common organization.
"For the first time in the history
of the two colleges," DuTeau ex
plained, "a common organization
will weld the activities of the two
colleges together. With most of
the graduates of the medical
school also three year men at Ne
braska university, there is a nat
ural tie which should help to pro
mote interest in the new organiza
tion." rY girls to honor

Topping the numbers will be a
newly composed "Partita," by the

by Lentz to write a double con

result. Mr. Creston, who is organ

Franz Schubert, will be played by
the orchestra. The term "Unfin

To help students in choosing a
