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.

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. -

pyramid, had a partial upper

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.

seems, was at nine. . .

out in to the open, and frankly
ruining her health over the tests
like the rest of us, she follows

Selfish? Not a bit. All she wants
is for her fellow sufferers to flunk

seem all the more spectacular, in

"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

jacket, and spend the evening try

lurid little charmer, instead of
memorizing the life cycle of a
