iudentt.ls Goal
With Chancellor C. S. Boucher purchasing the first membership,
the American Red Cross roll call drive opened on the campus today.
Having set the pledging of every student on the campus to mem
bership in the organization as a goal, the student council, through a
committee headed by Mary Rosborough, is sponsoring the university
drive.
House-to-house pep talks up and down fraternity and sorority
row and in all organized houses initiated the campaign last night.
Today is also the opening date for the national ca . ij,n, and, though
the campus drive is strictly confined to univers' j, 'tnises, reports
to the Lancaster county chairmen will be made daily. Co-chairmen
for the Lancaster drive are John Curtiss and Clarence Hinds.
Red Cross Services Expanding.
Speaking of the drive, Mr. Hinds remarked, "We know that it
is necessary to continuously expand the services of the Red Cross in
conjunction with the army, navy and civilian defense program. The
present Red Cross roll call, therefore, takes on added significance and
provides an opportunity for every man and woman in Lincoln to
participate in this important work."
Each day during the drive, which ends Nov. 21, a Red Cross
honor roll of students and faculty members who have become Red
Cross members will appear in the Daily. Those workers in charge of
various campus divisions must make daily reports at the Red Cross
desk in the Daily Nebraskan office by 7:30 p. m. Workers may also
pick up additional supplies at the desk each day.

dealing with the inevitableness nt
God he said, "There is an unseen,
invisible, reliable force keeping
things in the universe moving. The
universe does not stop with bi
ology. There is humanity. There
are human personalities. Man
may be the measure of all things
but man feels his weakness. There
must then be a heart of the uni
verse which guarantees processes
of economics, chemistry physics."
God was defined as a personal
God. Human personalities are
small imperfect reproductions of
the guide of the universe accord

laws of the universe are His laws
and man can neither break nor
evade them.
