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.

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. ' ; .1
Big stumbling block is the prob
lem of how the council should
vote on questions of aggression.

the matter ot late nours ior
James plays at the Coliseum.
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
