Army ROTC
Reactivation
Application for reactivation of
the advanced course in Army
ROTC has been made to the
Seventh Service Command by the
Board of Regents, Chancellor
C. S. Boucher announced yester
day. The application asked for the
reactivation about January au,
1946, of all three branches of the
services represented in advanced
ROTC on the campus before the
war. The three branches were
infantry, field artillery and corps
of engineers. Col. James P. Mur
phy, director of military training
at the university, said there is a
possibility that the air corps may
also be added.

One-Footed Giant
Causes Confusion
Over Identity
BY RUTH MARVIN.
"Anyone who knows anything
knows that's Lloyd George"
stated the long nosed freshman to
the three other newcomers stand
ing in a group before the toeless,
smoke-scarred statue in the
Temple. We crawl up closer and
lend our ears. We have often
wondered who this one-footed
giant might be.
"Lloyd George, huh! What
would he be doing in tha outfit?
That's George Washington. If his
face doesn'v look like him it's be
cause he's up so high. Anyone
would look different being up so
high."
Longfellow?
"It's Longfellow," announced the
tall freshman. "It couldn't be
Lloyd George, wrong uniform and
Washington never had eyes like
that." She sighed deeply.
"How 'bout Lafayette?" piped
the red-haired member of the
group, "or Patrick Henry." An
arrogant senior clomped down the
stairs at that moment and the

AUF Workers Intensify Efforts to Collect Remaining
BY SHIRLEY JENKINS.
As the closing day of the All
University fund drive draws near,
workers will intensify their ef
forts to collect the remaining
$1,255 needed to push over the
3.000 goal.
Already extended for a week,
the drive will end Saturday, but
money will still be collected until
the middle of next week. Be
cause of lack of student co
operation and scarcity of con
tributors, speaking tours will be
held and each house will again
be contacted in an effort to obtain
more money.

card before they will be allowed
to cast a ballot. The polls will be
open from 9 a. m. until 6 p. m. to
juniors and seniors.
Homecoming Decorations.
The cost of homecoming deco
rations was lowered to $5 this year.
Before the end of the war $7.50
was the limit that could be spent
on homecoming plans.
The Council also discussed
plans to elect cheerleaders at the
regular student election in the
spring instead of having a com
mittee select the cheerleaders, as
has been the custom during the
past few years. This suggestion
has not been voted upon, how
ever and will be discussed at the
next Student Council meeting.

UN Students
Salute Fellows
In Argentina
"We fellow students salute you!"
With these words a group of UN
students closed a salutory tele
gram recently sent to besieged
Argentine students who are now
demonstrating against their Fas
cist government.
A project of the Political Ef
fectiveness commission of the
YMCA, the telegram was de
designed to give encouragement
to Argentine students in the Uni
versities of Mendoz and Tuchu
mah where barricades have been
set up in protest against the gov
ernment edict ordering closure of
the institutions.
"We feel that just the fact of
making the gesture is important,"
said Tom Sorensen, sponsor.
"Wherever the telegram goes, it
will show U. S. awareness of the
situation."
Text of the telegram is:
"We wish to support your brave
stand in behalf of democratic
rights in Argentina. We are a
group of University of Nebraska
students of the U.S.A. interested
in your valiant position. To make
a free world we must build its
foundation upon the civil liberties
of all as against undemocratic
practices in any country. We fel
low students salute you."
Bizad Honorary
Elects L. Hansen
As New President
Laurine Hansen was chosen as

their first meeting Wednesday
night.

and business of the Placement
Bureau will be discussed.
$301.50, campus organizations.
$194.25, organized houses.
$98, fraternities.
$874.75, sororities.
Total donated by all these stu
dents is $1,745, a little over half
of the entire goal after two
weeks.
Since this is the only time this
semester that students will be
asked to donate to any campaign,
it was felt, when setting the goal,
that each student could easily
give $2. Money will be divided
between the National War fund,
Nebraskans for Servicemen and
World Student Service fund.
