Lawrie, officially opening the relief drive on the campus.
AUF Drive Opens Monday;
Goal Set at $2 per Student
The All University Fund fall

row, with several hundred stu

money to meet the $13,200 goal.
The funds will go to the Commun
ity Chest and the World Student
Service Fund. -
Each organized house on campus
has an AUF representative who
will solicit from the house mem
bers. Numbering in the hundreds,
team captains with ten solicitors
will ask students on campus to
contribute to the drive. In addi
tion, booths in the Union, Social
Science hall, Love library and
Law building will be open each
day of the week where students
may give their donations.

Up Pay Scale
For University
Student Help
Things are looking up for stu
dent help as a result of a reccom
mendation made by the board of
regents regarding pay scales. The
Chancellor announced that the
range of pay for student employ
ees will be broadened so that stu
dents may receive from 50 to 75
cents per hour. The present range

Blanket raises will not be
granted in the several depart

discretion, reward deserving stu
dent employees (readers, stenog
raphers, etc.) with raises. No stu
dent will be given a raise of more
than 10 cents per hour at any one
time, and in no case will the rate1
exceed 75 cents per hour, except
in very special situations where
additional pay may be granted to
students performing jobs which

Dean Burr
To Retire
Next Fall
Campus rumors were confirmed
late Friday with the announce
ment that W. W. Burr, dean of
Ag College for the past twenty
years, had officially made known
his plans for retirement as of Sept.
1, 1948. Dean Burr, 67, is one of
the oldest members of the univer
sity staff in terms of service, hav
ing served the university in vari
ous capacies for the past 41 years.
Chancellor Gustavson, comment
ing on the dean's retirement,
stated "Dean Burr has been one
of my closest friends and most ef
ficient advisors. His loyalty to the
university was shown in his wil
lingness to serve an additional
year with me while I became ac
quainted with the problems of the
Agriculture College."
Conservation Authority
A recognized authority on dry
land farming, Dean Burr has been
active in the state s sou conserva
tion program. He has served as a
member of the State Soil Con
servation Committee since its or
ganization in 1937. He was ap

omy Department in 1916, and be
came assistant director of the Ex
periment Station in 1919. In 1927,
he succeeded the late Chancellor
E. A. Burnett as acting Dean and,
a year later, was appointed Dean
and Director of the Agriculture
College.
In an interview Thursday with
the Daily Nebraskan's ag news
editor, Dean Burr commented, "I
have enjoyed working with stu
dents here at Ag college because
of their splendid spirit of co
operation. No one man can' insure
the success of a campus program.
It is up to the individual coopera
tion of each student to reflect the
entire policy of the college." The
dean is known to faculty and stu
dents alike for his modesty in ac
cepting credit.
Officials said Friday that a
committee would soon be ap
pointed to study qualifications of
candidates for a successor to Dean
Burr.

Fischer's 45-Yard Gallop
Saves UN From Shutout
BY GEORGE MILLER.
(Managing Editor, The Dally Nebraskan.)
MEMORIAL STADIUM, Columbia, Mo. A resourceful
band of Missouri Tigers undermined Nebraska's position at
the head of the Big Six football standings with a resound-
ing 47-6 gallop over the Huskers Saturday afternoon before
22,000 fans.
In keeping possession of the victory bell, symbol of
triumph between the two schools, the Bengals ran around
and through and passed over the Scarlet defenders for

Italian Teacher
To Address
AUF Luncheon
Featured speaker of the AUF
"Starvation Luncheon " to be held
Monday noon in the Union ball
room, is Miss Maria Angiola Sira-
cusa of Italy. Sent by the World
Student Service Fund to the Ne
braska campus in the interest
of the drive. Miss Siracusa is an
assistant professor of law at the
University of Rome.
In a statement to The Daily
Nebraskan, Beth Norenberg,
the AUF director, comment
ed, "Anoiola looks like anything
but a professor of law. Neverthe
less, that is her position. Univer
sity guards refused to admit her
to the Professor's common room,
insisting that she was too young
to be anything but a student.
Future: Politics
"Rare as it is for a girl of 25
to be a professor of law anywhere,
it is still more unusual in Italy,
where very few women ever study
for law." Siracusa, who specializes
in labor legislation, became inter
ested in law when she served as
a member of the Consultative
Youth Commission of the general
Federation of Labor. Eventually,
she hopes to enter politics and
maintain one of her family's tra
ditions. Miss Siracusa, who served dur
ing the war and the German oc
cupation with University Partisan
Brigades, became acquainted with
WSSF work after liberation, when
the help sent Italian university
students made it possible for
many of them to continue their
education. She came to this coun
try last spring to study at the
New York School for Social
Work, and at that time agreed to
spend some months this fall for
the WSSF.
Dramatic Speaker
"Attractive, articulate, and
tthoroughly informed on Italian
student conditions in particular,
and European conditions in gen
eral, Maria Angiola Siracusa is a
warm and appealing spekear to
personalize and dramatize a
WSSF campaign," stated Miss
Noerenberg.
The luncheon will be a sendoff
for AUF workers who will begin
soliciting Monday. The purpose of
the luncheon is to give workers
an idea of the food rations foreign
students live on at the present
time so that they will realize more
fully the needs served by the
World Student Service Fund,
money for which is being raised
by the drive.
Show Nebraska Came
Movies Tuesday Night
Movies of the Missouri-Nebras
ka gam. will be shown at the Col
iseum Tuesday night at 8 p.m.
instead of Monday night.
"So many fraternities have their
meetings on Monday nights that
students wanting to see the pic
tures are unable to attend," Ath
letic Director A. J. Lewandowski
said. "We will try the Tuesday
night showing once to see if this
works out better for the student

seven touchdowns.
The delegation of Nebraska fans
who made the migration to Co
lumbia got a chance to cut loose
only once during the afternoon.
That was when game captain Cle
tus Fischer broke loose for a 45
yard touchdown gallop the first
time the Huskers got the ball in
the second half. For the remaind
er of the game the Black and Gold
Tigers were completely in com
mand. Using the tricky variations of
coach Don Faurot's T formation
with constant success, the Tigers
moved to the lead in conference
warfare with a record of three
wins and no defeats. There was
no disputing the Missouri advance
as the Tiger forwards outrushed
the Nebraska line and a fleet of
elusive backs did their stuff with
telling effect.
Husker Hopes Up.
Husker fans had hopes of a re
peat of last year's second half
come-back when Fischer zoomed
through the Tiger secondary and
outraced two pursuers to the goal
line early in the third quarter.
Circumstances were right for such
a duplication as the teams had
left the field at half time with
Missouri in possession of a 21-0
lead.
However, the white-clad Husk
ers were unable to sustain their
scoring spark and dropped by the
way while the Missouri machine
rolled on to four touchdowns in
the second half.
Three tallies in the final period
stamped the Tiger win as the sec
ond largest Missouri victory in
the "History of 41 games against
Nebraska.
Numerous Fumbles.'
Eight and three-quarters min
utes were gone in the first quar
ter when the home team scored its
first marker. Three fumbles near
midfield kept possession of the
