The purpose of the drive is to raise funds for the Community Chest and the World Student Service Fund. Since all of the funds raised f for the WSSF are obtained thru campuses all over the United I States, a greater portion of the funds raised on the Nebraska campus will go to the WSSF.

Bill Allaway, traveling secre tary for the WSSF, has been on the campus during the past week helping the AUF officers and planning committee get the fall drive underway. In regards to the needs of students in foreign countries, Allaway stated, "In travelling thru Europe this sum mer it became more and more evident that unless food and clothing were sent to univers ities in middle Europe, and students with tuberculosis were permitted to enter sanatariums, university life would be domin ated by the effort needed to just survive rather than an attempt to carry on a course of studies under difficult conditions. Many times the materials provided by the WSSF make the difference between whether or not a stu dent can continue his studies, and In the matter of tubercular students it is a matter, pure and simple, of life and death." Drive to Open Nov. 3. The fall drive will not open officially until Nov. 3, Miss Noerenberg stated, but pointed out that in the weeks preceding the drive the AUF planning com mittee will devote Its time to making evident to the student body the great importance of aiding foreign students thru the NNo Cap, Gown : For Yearbook Senior Pictures j Pictures . of senior students as I they appear in the yearbook will not be in cap and gown, Jo Ac kerman, Cornhusker editor, has emphasized.

Miss Noer enberg concluded with the ques tion, "With conditions the way they are in foreign universities contrasted, to our own, is it ask ing too much for an American university of 10,000 students to contribute $13,000 for the good of university students all over the world?"

Initiated this year by the junior chamber of commerce, the street dance will follow the rally which begins at 7:30 p. m. Friday. Dancing, will last until 12:00 in two blocks on 12th street be tween! O and M. These blocks will be' roped off after 5:30 Fri day afternoon In order to prepare the area' for dancing. Details of the dance will be an nounced in Friday's Daily Ne-hs9sisan Fameirs ft PMi (Qoaeemi Today Ag Students to Ballot for Queen of Annual Formal Ag students will go to the polls today from 8:30 a.m. to 5 00 p.m. to elect a farmers formal queen. All Ag students will be eligible to vote in the election which will take place in the student union. The queen and her royal party of six attendants will be chosen from a list of 30 girls named eligible for the honor by the Home Ec department. Students will vote for three candidates and the girl receiving the most votes will be crowned queen. The next six girls will appear as her attendants when she is presented on the night of the dance. The purpose of having the election in advance of the dance is to enable the costumes for the honored ones to be prepared in advance, according to Charles Brim and Ned Raun, publicity chairmen for the ball. This meth od was first tried last year and found to be superior to the old method of voting at the door. The dance is a formal in name only, and jeans and calico will replace the customary tuxes and formal dresses. Theme of the ball will be a secret until the night of the dance. Last year's theme was "Harvest Time" and decorations included shocks of corn and bales of hay. Morton Wells and his orchestra have been engaged for the dance. Tickets are two dollars each and are on sale at the office in Ag Hall or in the Ag Union. They will also be available at the. voting booth. Students are also reminded to sign their names at the voting booth tomorrow if they desire the "date bureau" to assist them in getting a date. The bureau is a new idea of the Exec Board to help students in getting ac quainted. How well the plan will work depends upon the coopera tion of the students. USNR Loans New Projcctox" A new attraction has been added temporarily to the Union lounge. It is the compact movie projector and screen unit the Na val Reserve has installed to give the students a view of naval life in an effort to promote the U.S.N.R. At present only one film, on submarines, has been shown, but there is a reserve supply of about a half dozen and a different show is expected every day. After the film showing unit has been in the Union for a few days, it will be moved to Naval Reserve building on the Lincoln Air Base where it will be used to show training films from the large stock the navy will supply. An added note of interest is the new Navy Reserve building being constructed on North 10th street. UN Desires Participation In Foreign Training Plan Full participation in the edu cational exchange program au thorized by the Fulbright Act is hoped for the university during the 1948-49 academic year. Dean of Faculty C. W. Borgman an nounced Monday. The Department of State is au thorized by the measure to use certain foreign currencies and credits for programs of educa tional interchange. The funds were obtained from sale of sur plus property abroad. Financial assistance will be available to U. S. citizens for study, research, teaching and other educational activities in the schools of the participating coun tries. The assistance payments may be for transportation, stu dents' tuition, teachers salaries and incidental expenses. All expenditures must be in the available foreign currencies. Pay ment for transportation and other expenses can be made only when such currency is acceptable. Vet erans will be given preference. It is believed that benefits under this act may be used to supple ment those received under Public Law No. 316 or the GI Bill. Grants probably will be made in accordance with the needs of the individual and the availabil ity of other income. Selections will be made from candidate residing in all sections of the country. Although scholas tic and professional requirements have not yet been established. No GI Checks Until Nov. 1 Director Says Veterans attending the Uni versity on the GI bill should b prepared to meet their personal obligations for at least the first six weeks of the fall term, Ash ley Westmoreland, regional VA office director, affirmed Monday. The time lapse between en rollment and the receipt of the initial check involves two fac tors, he said. A veteran generally is not en titled to a subsistence check until he has been in school 30 days, and that normally all checks are mailed the last day of the month, covering the prev ious 30 days. Not Till November On that basis, a veteran who entered school on or after Sept. 15 should not expert a check any earlier than the first of No vember. Westmoreland added that the 1947 veteran enrollment is ex pected to top "by at least 10 per cent" the 13,794 total for the state last year. Other tips for vets from West moreland were: Vets transferring from one school to another should obtain from the VA a supplemental cer tificate of eligibility. All vets should give VA im mediate notification of any change in their residence ad dresses at school. Union Announces Dance Lessons The Union Activities Committee has announced a series of social dance lessons beginning Tuesday at 7:30 p. m.

Co-operating institutions abroad and the fields open will be an nounced by the Department of State in the near future. Applica tions are not being accepted at this time. Interested students should maintain contact with the univer s i t y administration. Registrar G. W. Rosenlof stated, either through his office or that of Dr. Borgman. Students, teachers, and other professional persons will be al lowed to apply for their respec tive type of grant as soon as the university learns the requirements of the program.
