War Council Plans Include Unified
Fund Drive; New Fund Committee
Plans for carrying out
wan
drives on the campus were out
lined at war council meeting yes
terday, revealing two major uni
versity campaigns for the year.
A unified drive was the goal of
the war council this year but the
War Chest started its national
campaign this week and decided
to carry out its campaign inde
pendently on the campus. If the
War Chest fills its quoia u win
not be included in the unified drive
this fall.
Unified Drive.
The Community Chest, War
Fund and WSSF will have a uni
fied drive, under the management
of the war council, in November.
This will mean that students musf
contribute three times as much for
this drive as they did" for one in
dividual drive last year in order
for each organization to fill the
necessary quota. The Red Cross
did not unite with the university
drive so they will hold a separate
drive next spring.
A plan was presented to the
war council by Bob Henderson to
create a permanent independent
student organization to unify and
Dying:
Coed War
Activity
Could it be that Nebraska
coeds are allowing part of their
war responsibility to die a lin
gering death, or is it just a bad
case of sleeping sickness?
During the recent coed war
work registration 77 women
signed to wrap surgical dress
ings Saturdays, one group from
9 a. m. to 1 p. m. and another
group 1 p. m. to 5 p. m. The
class has been meeting for
three weeks and 15,000 ban
dages have been rolled, but not
more than 40 have shown up
for work any day.
This is lamentable since the
quota for university women,
which must be met by the end
of November, is 10,000 band
ages. All coeds who signed for
the work and find it impossible
to come at the assigned time
must notify Myra Colberg, uni
versity Red .Cross represent
ative, or they will be expected
to appear. The uniform is
white dress and a white head
kerchief. The afternoon group does not
meet on football days but those
registered to work then are
asked to 'come in the mornings.
