Something Good ...
For a Change
Sadly enough, constructive accomplishments of a uni
versity, or any other institution, are too often overshadowed
by the trivial gripes that momentarily tock me very lounua
tions upon which they are based.
Already this semester the UN student body has achieved
a goal that failed miserably last year, and for which they
have received little or no thanks up to tnis point, i reier 10
the All University Fund drive, sponsored by that organiza
tion on the campus in connection with the Lincoln Commu
nity Chest.
The goal set for the campus was $2200, with the sug
gestion that each student contribute as much or as little as
he could afford. The total contribution was divided between
the Community Chest and The World Student Service Fund,
two very deserving organizations.
The campus made their goal, with contributions from
individuals and organizations. It wasn't easy, and the pres
sure was put on both contributing factors more than once.
But the goal was reached, and only because the student body
saw fit to support it. For that the AUF organization thanks
you.
Although it- goes without saying that the drive is a
worthy one, and the privilege of helping others, both in our
own country and in foreign nations, is no great burden,, the
fact still remains that it is difficult to dig deep in the pockets
when the result of said digging isn't right before the eyes.
Numerous bouquets to the AUF workers for their or
ganization of the drive. And added bouquets to the student
body for their support of the drive. May it continue through
out the year!

Smith Reports
City Planning
Consciousness
Nebraska's small towns and
cities are becoming more j "city
planning conscious," Linus Burr
Smith, chairman of the Depart
ment of Architecture, reported
Thursday.
He attributed this wave of
"civic consciousness" to problems
resulting from (1) abnormal war
time and postwar expansion; and
(2) either inadequate or no city
planning on a long time basis
which resulted in cities growing
i on a hit-or-miss basis.
"Some towns just 'growed' along
covered wagon trails," Prof. Smith
said. "There was no city plan be
cause nobody planned to stay
there long."
Surveys.
The architecture department,
making city planning surveys of
Nebraska communities during the
past ten years, found these prob
lems generally creating a demand
for civic improvement: (1) traf
fic and parking; (2) inadequate
sewage disposal systems; (3) lack
of attractive civic centers; and
(4) lack of recreational facilities.
Making an average of three city
re-planning surveys a year, the
department has aided Omaha, Lin
coln, Scottsbluff, Syracuse and
Norfolk recently. Latest city to
ask the department's help is Lex
ington. Charm School

Colbert Brands
'Drop9 Rumors
As Ridiculous
Rumors that "many veterans'
were dropping their courses, or
being dropped by the university,
were branded as "ridiculous" by
Prof. J. P. Colbert, director of
the university Consultation Board
for Veterans.
Mr. Colbert said that it would
be a very simple matter to check,
the records at the university to
find out if these recurrent rumors
about student veterans are true.
109 Dropped
Only 109 veterans have dropped
their courses since mid-September.
Jobs, financipl reasons,
"needed at home," and health
were the principal reasons given
by the veterans.
