Panhel Limits Total Sorority Roll; Cuts Rushing Expense At their regular meeting Monday Panhel lenie Council quietly passed a resolution limit ing sorority membership to 55 in three-years and decided ou the rushing rules for the com ing summer and fall which will conform to war efforts by cutting expenses. The resolution on. limited membership came with no discussion. The question had been debated heatedly last spring and this fall and was the outcome of suggestions to balance sorority chapter rolls. As it was stated the resolution reads: "Each fraternity agrees to balance its chapter with only a sufficient number of town, house and dormitory girls to operate effectively. The total number of house girls each fraternity may pledge may be only equivalent to that house capacity. "Each group agrees to send two active representatives and an official alumnae repre sentative to confer with Panhellenic in plan ning their chapter. It shall be the aim in con sidering the number each chapter may pledge to hold the total number of that chapter to 55." At a meeting a year ago this spring it was decided that an effort would be made to limit the size in four years, so the next three pledge classes will have to be according to the plan of gardually limiting the total membership to 55. The number of pledges each sorority (See PANHEL, page 2.) man of the political science de partment, opened the series with a talk on "War Comes to Ameri ca."

Council Will Choose Eight New Holdover Members At Union Meeting Tonight Holdover members to serve on next year's Student Council will be elected tonight at Council meet ing in the Union, according to Burton Thiel, president Eight Hemisphere Defense Needs Unity, Says Dean Bengtson i ! 1 4 Courtujr Lincoln Journal DEAN BENGTSON must maintain peace after war Unity and cooperation are absolutely essential to hemi sphere defense, declared Dr. Xels A. Bengtson,. chairman of the University of Nebraska geography department, in a talk Tues day afternoon in the university's war lecture series. "The United States, great as it is, cannot be held alone for hemisphere defense," said Professor Bengtson. "We must rec ognize the limitations of the huge areas and vast distance in volved." He pointed out that both Canada and Brazil are larger than the main body of the United States, while the coastline of North and South America is almost of unbelievable length. He sug gested that some clue to the attitude of certain South American nations to the war might be found in the fact that it is 3,800 miles from Baltimore to Recite, Brazil, and only 1,000 miles from Uecife to Dakar, Africa. At the same time it is nearly twice as far from New York to Buenos Aires, Argentina, as to Liverpool, England. It is only a little farther from the mouth of the Amazon to Lisbon, Portugal, than to Baltimore.

Pictured at left giving $25 to Bob Guenzel, financial chairman of the Student Foundation Fund, is Don Steele, president of Corn Cobs, which was the first con tributor to the fund outside of money donated from the Student Council budget. Aim of the Foun dation is to solicit funds from or ganizers rather than from in dividual students. It is hoped that contributions will equal the $500 budget, John Jay Douglass, head of the Foun dation, stated yesterday. Purpose of the money will be to publicize and promote the university. First two essays in the Founda tion essay contest for high school students were received the first of this month from Long Pine, Neb. Long Pine is in Brown coun ty, of which Roberta Davison is chairman. All out-of-state students inter ested in representing their own state or large out-of-state cjties in the Student Foundation are asked to get in touch with Ann Craft Watch Out For Measles Is Warning Spread of German measles on the campus is nearing epidemic stage, but the situation is not dangerous, Student Health offi cials declared yesterday. With the name of the disease changing from German measles to Victory measles since Pearl Harbor, Dr. Ruth Warner at Stu dent Health said that illness is simply old-fashioned "three-day;' measles, which is very contagious. Symptons of the measles may be an enlarged gland on the back of the neck, a cold, a throat ir ritation, smarting of the eyes, gen eral run-down condition or a rash and students suspecting the ill ness should report to student health at once, Dr. Warner said. Student Health officials advise that students catching the measles be absolutely isolated since it can be caught from use of the same comb or wash cloth altho the spread is usually facilitated by direct contact According to the theory, it takes three days for the rash to break out after contact, three days before the rash begins to leave, and three more days before it is completely gone. But the di sease doesn't always run according to schedule.
