Univcts Sponsor
GI Clolhing Drive
For Europeans
Placed all over the campus, the
signs, "Ask the man who owns
none," are advertising the cloth
ing drive for needy European
families, sponsored by the Neb
raska Univets, announced John
13. Rigg, president.
Those who contribute clothing
to the drive will be given a free
ticket to a Union dance, Gene
Moyer will play for the dance.
The drive which will start on
March 14, lasting for five days,
is mainly intended to gather GI
clothing, but all other types of
clothing will be welcome. Collec
tion booths will be set up in the
Ag and main campus unions.
ily influenced by there being too
few stores reporting in certain
lines of merchandise," Dr. Palmer
said. "Corrected for this deficien
cy, the probable rate of increase
is 22 per cent for Scottsbluff, 16
per cent for Omaha and 11 per
cent for Cuming and Dodge coun
ties." Dr. Palmer said the business re
search department is working with
retail merchants of Lincoln to in
clude that city in the reporting
system. Eventually all important
cities of the state will be reported,
he explained.
