i Fage Red Cross Contributions Fall Short; Drive Ends Tomorrow Two days remain in the univer sity's campaign to raise the $2500 Red Cross goal and the total con tributions to date are $266. Any student worrying about the affairs of the university might well begin to worry after reading that figure. The Red Cross is not something for other people to con tribute to, it is something that may be the difference between life and death to any one in the university at any moment. Past Experience. Past experience shows that an average of 200 disasters occur every year and they strike any where at any time. Last year the Red Cross assisted in 260 disasters. Train wrecks, fires, flood, explos ions all these occur when they are least expected, but the Red Cross is always on hand, ready with medical aid, food, clothing and shelter for the victims. Now that the tension of war is over, the men in the occupation forces in Europe and Asia are be coming restless. Life on a Pacific island may be a drabe existence, and when homesickness sets in, Germany and Japan aren't much better. They want to come back, naturally, but until they are able to board a ship or a plane headed for home, the Red Cross does the next best thing by taking a bit of America to them. Red Cross Clubs. In Berchtesgaden, Paris, Okin awa or Tokyo Red Cross clubs will stay. Approximately 375 to Idleness Will Restore Land, States Weaver J. E. Weaver, university scien itst, has reported that Nebraska's rolling prairie grass pastureland, depleted by constant grazing and drouths, could be restored to ex cellent production if the land was allowed to remain idle for a period of years. A detailed study In association with W. B. Bruner of Kearney State Teachers college on the struggle for survival of a 23 year old Lancaster county native blue stein pasture formed the basis for his conclusion. Moderate Grazing. After many years of moderate grazing, about half the pasture had gone over to Kentucky bluegrass. The bluegrass, having low drouth resistance, took its toll during the years of successive drouths. Later seed of sand dropseed was blown in from the west and spread rap idly. Peppergrass and other weeds grew in abundance. Better native grasses such as bluestems which had been dor mant for several years, replaced the weeds and weedy grasses in a few years. In seven years, Mr. Weaver reported, nature with the help of man restored the prairie almost completely. Only three of these years had good rainfall. Continuous Grazing:. The necessity of continuous grazing to support the state's cat tle feeding operations will com promise widespread restoration of the drouth resistance and dust de terrent native grasses in Nebraska. "The price of beef is high, the demand is great, and most native pastures in eastern Nebraska are consequently grazed too early and too intensively to maintain a good yield of better grasses," Mr. Weav er said. - Cheops, builder of the great pyramid, had a partial upper plate. i an l mi II n M 400 clubs will be found overseas to provide a place where our ser vicemen and women can go to re lax, read, or talk to other Amer ican men and women. Major General Norman T. Kirk, Surgeon General of the Army, states that "In the wake of every war, thousands of men are left in jured. When hospitalized, hours can drag on endlessly. The friendly smile and helping hand of the Red Cross worker can help shorten them immensely. Though the war is over, our men need the Red Cross as much as ever." By July, 1946, it is expected that 11,854,000 service personnel will have become veterans of World war II. The Red Cross stands ready to help the veteran and help him as long as needed, There should be no forgotten men of this war, because the Red Cross will extend a helping hand. Provides Relief. Since the beginning of the war, the American Red Cross provided relief in the form of food, cloth ing, medical supplies and other items to civilians in more than 40 war-stricken areas throughout the world. The prime concerns of the Red Cross are American soldiers over seas, or convalescing in a U. S hospital, or back home readjust ing to civilian life, and the con stant task of helping the Amer ican public combat disasters and the problems of community health. Habits . .

'By three o'clock, she is putting in long distance calls to her par ents, intending to plead with them to let her come home and become a scullery maid. Only her par ents refuse to accept the charges. They've lived through several exam weeks, and they know why the phone s ringing. At about six a. m., she falls into bed, exhausted. She's so ex hausted that she sleeps until ten the next morning. The test, it seems, was at nine. . . But the most deadly of the species of exam-crammers is the hypocrite. Instead of coming right out in to the open, and frankly ruining her health over the tests like the rest of us, she follows subtle, under-cover methods Selfish? Not a bit. All she wants is for her fellow sufferers to flunk the test, so that her victory will seem all the more spectacular, in contrast. "Study for that test?" she scoffs craftily. "Not me! There's really no point in it. He doesn't even count them. Why knock yourself out?" Then she barrels to her room and hides her sheafs of carefully outlined notes under the bed, in case some poor child who was hospitalized with pneumonia the first three weeks, wants to borrow them. This taken care of, she stealthily disguises her biology text in a "Forever Amber" book jacket, and spend the evening try ing to look as if she were breath lessly following the antics of the lurid little charmer, instead of memorizing the life cycle of a fishworm. She even goes to bed early, but you may be sure that as soon as she's certain no one is stirring except maybe the mouse that lives in the wastebasket she steals from her bed and beavers dog gedly until the first alarm peals in the morning.
