Food and Supplies ore Needed for European
Chancellor Requests Mild Student Sacrifices
"The university campus is a
part of the great student body of
the world to which we must ex
tend the hand of fellowship," said
Chancellor R. G. Gustavson at the
convocation sponsored by AUF
Tuesday.
The Chancellor believes that if
the world-wide student needs are
presented realistically to the stu
dents of Nebraska they cannot re
fuse to make a small sacrifice to
further basic understanding be
tween nations. "Foreign students
are not only doing without books,
equipment and leaders, but with
out food, shelter and medical
supplies," he stated.
"The tragedy of England, for
which they are still paying today
was the loss in battle of their stu
dent leaders. The same thing will
happen on a much greater scale
unless Europe receives aid from
such organizations as the World
Student Service Fund (one of the
organizations supported by the
AUF)."
"Future leadership for world
peace must come from the stu
dents of today," the Chancellor
said, as he pointed out the weak
nesses in the proposals for the
control of atomic energy. "We are
going to have countries producing

Gustavson traced the develop
ments leading up to the atomic
bomb, pointing out that only one
of the contributions was made by
an American scientist. Other dis
coveries came from France, Italy,
Germany, Canada and England. A
complete report of an atomic en
ergy plant appeared in a Canadian
scientific journal. An atomic plant
is being built near Paris by the
Jolliots, while Russia and the
United States argue of plans for
A-bomb control.
The Chancellor decried the
starvation conditions in Europe.
He pointed out that "tuberculosis
has increased 25 percent in Italy
and even more in Germany as a
direct result of malnutrition. The
disease rate varies inversely with
the amount of food available."
The handful of students present
heard Gustavson say, "We should
all make very mild sacrifices nec
essary to put this drive across.
All put together it will make a
lot to show the students of the
world that we are supporting
them."

Mm IPHay,
At 8 tonight the curtain will
rise on the University Theatre's
first production of the season,
Maxwell Anderson's "Joan of
Lorraine."
Don Johannes, as Masters, and
MrSj Rita Shaw, as Joan, play the
lead roles. Supporting roles are
carried by Abe Katz and, Dewey
Ganzel.
"Joan of Lorraine" is partly a
play-within-a-play. The action is
centered In a New York theater
where rehearsals are going on for
a play which tells the story of
Joan. The timeliness of the drama
is in the discussion between the
director and Joan and other ac
tors as to the philosophy and con
victions of the famed martyr.
Staging
One of the many interesting as
pects of the play is its unconven
tional staging. The stage is just
that a stage. Only for a few of
the more dramatic moments of
the two-act episode are props
brought into use. Effectiveness
relies majorly upon lighting
which is artistically used.
In pr.st years' the ushering
system used by the University
Thetre to take patrons to their
reserved seats has been unsatis

Nebraska Band
Leads Migration
The University of Nebraska 120
piece marching band will lead the
Cornhuskers student migration to
the Missouri game at Columbia on
Nov. 1.
The band will play the new
school song, "Huskerland" which
was composed by Harry R. Miner,
who played football for Nebraska
in 1907-08-10.
Director Don Lentz has worked
out a novelty number for the Co
lumbia invasion which is based on
the tune of "Hold That Tiger."

AUF Support
Latest organized tiouses to give
100 percent support to the All
University Fund drive which
opens Monday, Nov. 3, are Alpha
Phi, Alpha Omicron Pi, Delta
Delta Delta, Kappa Alpha Theta,
Kappa Delta and Kappa Kappa
Gamma. Each of these houses will
solicit $2 from each member or
turn in an amount equivalent to
a $2 per person sum.
Funds raised for the drive will
go to the Community Chest and
the World Student Service Fund.
The world goal of the WSSF is
two million, one of which is be
ing raised by the United States.
The University of Nebraska has
set a goal of $13,200.
Beth Noerenberg, AUF director,
pointed out that "setting the in
dividual amount at two dollars
doesn't seem so much when you
realize that students in England
and other countries are giving
amounts per person, which
equals five of our dollars."

UN Names
Four Rhodes
Candidates
Mervyn Cadwallader, Eugene
Luschei, John MacDonald, and
Elmer Sprague were appointed
nominees for the 1947 Rhodes
Scholarship from the University of
Nebraska by the Rhodes Shcolar
ship committee Thursday.
These students will appear be
fore the State Committee of Se
lection with Mr. H. A. Gunder
son, secretary, at Fremont, Dec.
10. If chosen by this committee
the nominees will then report to
the district committee Dec. 13.
Scholars elected by this committee
will enter the University of Ox
ford in pctober, 1948.
Will Provisions.
According to the will of Cecil
John Rhodes, 32 scholarships, ten
able at the University of Oxford,
are assigned annually to the Unit
ed States. In view of the fact
that war service has prevented in
tending candidates from applying
during the war years, the Trus
tees have authorized 16 additional
scholarships to be awarded in
1947.
These 48 appointments will be
divided between candidates for
regular or War Service Scholar
ships at the discretion of Commit
tees of Selection in acordance with
the merits of applicants appearing
before them. Both regular and
War Service, appointments are
made for two years in the first in
stance, with a possible third year
for those whose record at Oxford
and plan of study make such an
award advisable. No restriction is
placed upon a Rhodes Scholar's
choice of studies.
Qualities.
The qualities which Rhodes spe
cified in his will as forming the
basis of selection are on some de
finite quality of distinction, in in
tellect, character or personality.
Competition for Rhodes Schol
arships is organized by states and
districts. There are eight districts
of six states each. Upon recom
mendation by his college or uni
versity, a prospective candidate
may apply either in the state in
which he resides or in the stale in
which he has received at least two
years of his college education by

causes of the delay in taking the
curtain up promptly at 8 o'clock.
New System
In order to speed up the seat
ing of our patrons, the Univer
sity Theatre will use a new sys
tem this season. There are three
sections of reserved seats on the
main floor. Patrons holding re
served seats in the Right Section
will use the West street entrance.
Patrons holding reserved seats in
the Center Section will use en
trance Number I in the lobby of
the theatre. Patrons with Left
Section reservations will use en
trance Number II in the lobby
of the theatre.
The University Theatre re
qijpst holders of main floor re
serve seats tickets to check their
tickets and go to the proper en
trance. This arrangement will
eliminate criss-crossing traffic in
the auditorium and, also reduce
greatly the time needed to seat
our patrons orderly and properly.
