Vet Beneficiaries
Must Be Named
The VA has some important
advice for those ex-servicemen
who still hold their national
service life insurance policies,
concerning the naming of bene
ficiaries of their policies.
If no beneficiaries are named
the policy holder may be risking
a financial loss to his heirs. If
the policy holder dies and no
beneficiaries have been named,
the insurance will be paid in a
lump sum to the veteran's es
tate and will be subject to all
the laws governing estates, in
cluding claims of creditors, ad
ministrator's fees and court ex
penses. If the veteran names a specific
beneficiary and the insurance is
paid to him or her, he is exempt
from taxation and from any claims
made by creditors.

Kansas whipped the Husker jinx for the second time
since 1944 to beat Nebraska 27-7 at the Mt. Oread site Sat
urday afternoon. It was the Jayhawks' home-coming game.
The Huskers were stopped by Dick Gilman's passing
as the flipping quarterback aided in all of the Jayhawks'
counters.
Coach Potsy Clark's eleven held the KU squad in their
own territory the entire first quar
ter but the Jays managed to come
back in the second quarter to
score.
Gilman Strikes.
The touchdown was made on a
pass from Gilman to Cliff Mc
Donald and covered 11 yards with
McDonald scampering the remain
ing yards. The score culminated
a KU drive from the Nebraska 48.
Ken Sperry booted the conver
sion with Dick Gilman holding
the ball. There were a little over
two minutes left in the opening
half when Kansas hit the scoring
column.

'49 Calendar
The 1949 Nebraska calendar,
commemorating the 80th anni
versary of the university, will be
offered to students next week by
the student foundation.
Campus bookstores will begin
sales of the memorandum book

souvenir or gift for students,
faculty, alumni, and friends of the
university.
Offered for the first time on
this campus, the calendar is pat
terned after those published an
nually by mna schools and uni
versities. The publication of the calendar
by the foundation was the idea
of Genene Mitchell, president of
the organization. She received ap
proval of the project last spring
from the faculty committee on
Student Organizations and Social
Functions.
Throughout the summer, Miss
Mitchell planned the book, enlist
ing the aid of Bill Poe, student
photographer.
The calendar was planned as
further publicity of the university
and a lasting momento for the
buyer, Miss Mitchell explained.
The date-books are boxed, and
ready for gift wrapping.
The printing of the books was
done by the Livingston Printing
company of Philadelphia.
All profits from the sales of the
calendars will be used in the
Student Foundation Scohlarship
funds.
Jeannie Sampson and Rockne
Holmes are foundation board
members in charge of the calen
dar sales.
