rector, announced today. The
purpose of the drive is to raise
funds for the Community Chest

Secretary on Campus.
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

tion, "With conditions the way

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

Two Bands Play
In Street Rally
Music for the street dance which
will follow the Minnesota-Nebraska
football rally Friday night
will be furnished by Gay Feister
and Dave Haun bands from the
American Federation of Musi
cians. 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

Details of the dance will be an

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.

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.

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. Dr. Rosenlof em
phasized that this information is
now being sought from govern
mental sources.
Arrangements with over 22
countries are now being forked
out. The countries include the
United Kingdom, Australia, New
Zealand, Finland, Netherlands,
Denmark, Belgium, France,
Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary,
Poland, Italy, Greece, Turkey,
Egypt; Iran, China, The Nether
lands East Indies, Philippines,

countries may be added to the
list.
