norm QO "I UIVlU Vol. 44, No. 12 Lincoln 8, Nebraska Friday, October 13, 1944 AUF Strives Toward Goal With $800 BY LOU HUSTON. The mountain climber on the AUF drive poster in the front lob by of the Union inched upward to the $800 mark yesterday fol lowing four days of slow student contributions. Three organiza tions, YWCA, WAA and Mortar Board gave $30 each but for the most part, both group and indi vidual contributions have been proceeding at a mild pace. Less than a week remains of the time alloted the campus for completion of the drive for $2,400 to be divided between Nebraskans for Servicemen, World Student Service Fund and the National War Fund. The first four days of the campaign netted only one third of the total asked. "Must Squeeze." "We're all going to have to squeeze the purse strings a little tighter during the next six days if we are to make our goal," an nounced Margaret Beede, AUF chairman when reminding stu dents that the present drive is the only time this semester that they will be asked to contribute to a drive for charitable organizations. Miss Beede also expressed the hope that students will make their payments this week to speed the close of the drive.

Students Receive Papers at Union Starting Today A new plan for distribution of The Nebraskan has been an nounced in order to insure each student's getting a copy of the paper. The papers will still be placed in all organized houses, Sosh, Andrews and other buildings on the campus. In addition, a sup ply of The Nebraskans will be put in the Union office. Any student who did not get copy elsewhere on the campus can obtain one at the Union office by showing his identification card. Each student is entitled to one paper, but since some students take more than one, the former distribution of the paper on the campus was not sufficient. The new plan goes into effect with tnis issue.

This Week At War By Albert Reddish A major step in formulaton of a postwar world organization was taken Monday with announce ment by the Big Four of the United Nations of agreements reached at Dumbarton Oaks in seven weeks of conference. Tho incomplete, the agreement may provide the outline for the cove nant of the co-operative organ ization which will oppose aggres sion and war. Foremost for consideration is an assembly of "peace-loving na tions," with each nation having one vote, and a security council of 11, with Britain, China, Russia, the United States and "in due course," France as permanent members. 4 The administration's cherished doctrine of equal sovereignty is incorporated in- the assembly where the smallest nation would have the same voice as the larg est, where for example, Cuba's vote would equal that of the United States. Little wonder that many Puerto Ricans prefer inde pendence to statehood. For if in dependent they could have just as loud a voice in the assmbly of sovereign nations as their protec tor, while if a state in the United States they would . have little power.

As usual splendid progress is being made. Bulgaria is said to be accepting armistice terms, solution of the Polish question is seen before Churchill returns to London, and it is reported Hun gary is negotiating an armistice. The weekend's big news is a Jap report of an American 1,000 plane attack from two sides, last ing over 15 hours, on Formosa.

Willkie Dies. The third great liberal to die in the United States this year, the second in four days, was Wendell Willkie, 1940 G.O.P. presidential nominee who died early Sunday morning.

Dissension centered around a recommendation which Dixon presented for the establishment of two new campus parties to be called Liberals, advocating more power to the students, and Prog ressives, seeking retention ol tne present status. Two Party Heads. Pointing out that the Council itself has no authority to organize new parties, Dixon proposed that there be a "strong" Greek and a "strong" Barb at the head of each of the new parties, thus making more equal distribution of stu dents among the two groups. In stead of factions there will be party primaries two weeks prior to each election. Jean Larsen, a member of the elections committee, told the Council that the controversy over factions, which started late last spring, was prompted by Pan-Hellenic disapproval of factions and bloc voting. She pointed out that the local Pan-Hellenic board had the authority to issue a morator ium prohibiting Greek women from participation in elections. The Pan-Hellenic Council would also have the right under certain circumstances to abolish sorori ties from the campus. A bloc of men, not Council members, opposed the change and presented several arguments in favor of the present political set up. Floyd Heck and Jim McEach en both advocated keeping the (See COUNCIL, Page 2.)
