Blue Print Article by Dr. Wm. L. De Baufre's Engi neering Materials and Mechanics is one of the featured articles in the new January issue of the Ne braska Blue Print, publication edited by the University of Ne braska college of engineering. Dr. De Baufre, chairman of the department of engineering me chanics and acting head of me chanical engineering, stresses the inadequacy of this university's courses in engineering materials and mechanics as compared with leading engineering schools. Using Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology as an example Dr. De Bau fre compares the courses on these subjects offered at each school and sets forth proposed subjects which would raise this university's engi neering standards to those of Mas sachusetts "Tech." Emphasizing the necessity of a good basic foundation in engineer ing fundamentals, Dr. De Baufre points out the revision of engineer ing courses has resulted in a series of engineering drawing subjects "which are considered second to none in the engineering schools in the United States."

World Student Service Fund Opens Campaign Here Soon "Along with the many contribu tions to various other charities re sulting from the war, American college and university students are facing another cause which will necessitate a vigorous ad energeic campaign on the part of all in or der to supply the needs of their fellow students who have been vic tims of the war," stated Dr. Homer P.

Set Goal. Thirty-two leading colleges and universities in all parts of the country are together raising a total of $54,000. These same col leges gave only a total of $27,000 last year's goal of $100,000, which this year has been raised to $300, 000. The aim of the drive to begin on the University of Nebraska campus is only $1 per student, which is small in comparison to the $11 per student mark set up at Smith college. Last year we raised $802.82, surpassing our goal of $750. This year's goal has been set at $1,000.
