The front portion of Grant Memorial hall was roped off earlier yesterday. The wind had caused the gabled parapet wall above the entrance to move for ward and separate from its moor ings with the building. Danger of falling bricks caused the move. Botony Greenhouse was also seriously damaged. Many of the individual glass windows were blown out. Wind and cold froze some of the plants and may cause loss of others. Janitors at the Mechanical Arts buildings found many broken windows and shattered glass when they came to work this morning. Some of the slate shingles on the roof are also missing. The office of Dean Roy Green, head of the College of Engineer ing and Architecture, was in a tangle this morning. When the wind blew out some of the win dows in his office it scattered all the papers on his desk over the floor. Building Damage Other buildings damaged in clude Temporary "L" Physical Education; Bcssey Hall, and Richards Lab. At the Ag campus the greatest damage was at the Home Eco nomics building. Brick vents atop the roof were blown over and punched holes in the roof. Broken glass and loose roof tile caused the majority of dam age to the Plant Industrial build ing, Ag Engineering, Ag Hall and one of the green houses. Only damage reported to the University! outstate property is to one o' their farms east of Havelock. Incomplete reports say that the tile silo on the farm has been over. "Overall, I would say that they took very good care of them selves," reports Samuel Fuen ning, Director of Student health. Their office reports only three injuries caused by the storm. One student cut his hand in trying to close a window that had blown open. The other two were coeds who received bruises.

Lake to Seek Agreement An attempt will be made to straighten out the matter of Ag Union expansion in a meeting at Ag college Thursday between Duane Lake, Union director, and representatives Irom all Ag cam pus groups. The meeting will be held in the Ag Union at 5 p. m. In ad dition to the representatives, all students who are interested are asked to atttend. Lake said Friday that expan sion is not feasible at this time because of the financial prob lem involved. He said the Union board had never stated that con struction of an Ag Union had priority over expansion of the city Union although some Ag i students believed it had. Student Fees j Lake explained that the Union is operated on the $3 tee paid by each student every semester. He i pointed out that the budget ap- propriation lor the Ag Union is annually more than the $6,000 paid by the Ag students, and that the appropriations to the two Unions did not seem fair when the number of students en- rolled in the Ag college was considered. The budget set up for the two Unions for this school year is as follows: Salaries and wages: City, $14, 216: Ag. $3,000. Activities fund: Citv, $6,000; Ag, $1,000. Office and activities supplies: City, $500; Ag, $100. Books, magazines and games: City, $300; Ag, $100. Maintenance: City, $400; Ag, $150. Furnishings, reparations and repairs: City, $3,000: Ag, $700. Capital additions: City, $2,500; Ag, $500. The total budget amounts to $37,191 $30,741 for City; $6,450 for Ag. As Facilities The Union director said that he realizes that facilities on Ag campus are not too good, but he still does not think it possible to expand them now. He also explained that expansion of the city Union would not mean that less money would be appro priated to the other one. Lake said that the fees charged to students for operation of the Union are lower at Nebraska than at many other institutions. "The kind of building Ag stu dents want." he said, "would cost about one-half million dollars, and even if the fee fof Ag stu dents were increased to $5 each semester, there would be an an nual fund of only $10,000." The Ag Union had been closed recently at nipht, according to Lake, because of lack of use of the building. "When only 10 or 12 students frequent the build ing in the evening hours." he declared, "it certainly does not warrant its being kept open."

Council Wants Class Boosters "Junior Boosters" are needed to give the Junior-Senior prom the necessary publicity to assure its success. "If the Jr.-Sr. prom is to be come an annual event, the Jr. class must go all out to make this first dance a success," Herb Reese, Jr. class president, said Wednesday evening at a Jr. class council meeting. "The high schools have made the Jr.-Sr. proms popular and the Jr. class can keep up this tradition by putting over a big ger and better dance," declared Shirley Allen of the Jr. class council. Workers Needed Junior class students who are interested in serving on prom committees can contact Betty Green at the Cornhusker office in the afternoons.

Miss Lisher was selected by the AUF advisory board from applicants who have worked with the organization during the past three years. Dugan chairman or next year Czechs Order NU Student Out of State Evelyn Caha, University ex change student of Czechosla vakia, has been expelled, along with seven other American stu dents, "in the interests of the state." fr.nii-tfRy of this Lincoln Journal! D E P O R T E D Evelyn Caha, former University student studying at Charles University in Prague Czechoslovakia, has been asked to leave the country by Czech officials. The expulsion came as "no surprise" to Dr. G. W. Rosen lof, Director of Admissions. Dr. Rosen lof says he dosen't know exactly why Miss Caha was ex pelled, but he believes it was be cause of her loyalty to this country and her influence over the other students who leaned toward Communistic doctrines. Miss Caha. who was attending Claries University in Prague, wrote to Dr. Rosenlof recently, indicating lo him that she was concerned about the attitudes of other exchange students. She was ordered to leave the country on Feb. 21. Dr. Rosenlof thinks the inci dent was "most unfortunate" and that exchange students with Czechoslovakia in the future is out of the question. While at the University, Miss Caha was a member of ISA, Commenius club, and the Delian Union. She was enrolled in Teachers college. the United Nations are embod ied in a resolution drawn up by Sen. Homer Ferguson and Sen. Frank Graham. The proposal for an Atlantic union is now under consideration in a Senate sub committee headed by Sen. El bert Thomas of Utah. NUCWA members also will concern them selves with a resolution offered by the United World Federalists in hearings which are devoted to a consideration of methods of strengthening the UN. The lat ter proposal has world federal ism as its aim. Two of the steps included in 1 the Ferguson-Graham resolution are issues which will be brought before the model United Nations general assembly March 17-24. One provision of the resolu tion calls for renewed efforts, at a political level, to secure agreement for the contribution of forces and assistance under the provisions of Article 43 of the UN charter. The question of police power will be considered by the political and security committee at the mock confer ence. The committee is headed by Jerry Matzke and Joanne Buller, chairman and vice chair man. Technical Assistance The last point of the Ferguson-Graham proposal would carry out as far as posible, through the United Nations, the program of technical assistance to under-developed countries. The economic and financial committee, headed by Lois Nel son and Bill Dugan, will handle this question at the model as sembly. Plans for the assembly are be ing made through one of NUCWA's departments (com mittees), the UNESCO depart ment. This committee is headed by Sue Allen, one of the direc tors of last year's model UNES CO conference. Assembly plans were conceived largely in the steering committee, also headed by Miss Allen. Althour.h the conference is sponsored by LNUCWA, all University students and ncu'ty members will par ticipate in it. M w by Direct The board also appofnted Bill s advisory board and Sarah' b ulton, head soliciter. AUF is the only organization on the campus which is author ized to solicit funds for charities. Other officers appointed were: Jackie Sorensen, secretary; Jackie Becker, clerical head; Kent Axtcll, publicity; Ann Bar gor, assistant publicity; Jackie Hoss, special events; Gordon Pedersen, speakers bureau; and Don Reeves, Ag solociter. Nine students were selected to compose the solitications board. They are: Joan Van Valkenburg, unorganized houses; Ira Epstein, organizations; Adele CoryelL faculty; Bonncy Varney, denom inations; Joan Mary Hanson, booths; and Marilyn Peterson, honoraries. Head Solicitor Miss Lisher served as AUF head soliciter for the drive this year. Her other activities include Tassels, rally committee and lay out editor for the 1950 Corn husker. Dugan, new chairman of the advisory board, was head of special events for the '49 drive.

Reorganization Plans According to Miss Lisher, plans for reorganization of AUF arc being carried out and will be mnounced at a later date. "We are looking forward to an interesting year with the new staff, and we feci confident that next year's drive will be a suc cess." she said. Members of the advisory board for the past year were: Mary Helen Mallory, Ted Gun See AUF, page 4. Council OK's Sophomore Representation For the first time in many years sophomore students will be represented on the Student Council in the future. A motion was passed last night by the ' Council providing for two sopho mores at large to be elected each year. The complete plan calls for 6 holdover members, 1 foreign student, 2 sophomores-at-large, 2 scniors-at-large and 17 other representatives to be juniors, proportioned according to the population in the various col leges each year by the outgoing Student Council. This changes slightly the proceeding motions. Fresh Ideas The provision for sophomore members was made with the idea that underclassmen would bring fresh ideas and the plan would promote interest in stu dent government among all underclassmen. Al Potter suggested that an all campus election be held to determine the president and vice-president of the Council. No action was taken on this sug gestion. Roz Howard presented a sum mary of the Big Seven Student Council convention and expres sed his hope that the conven tions would continue to be suc cessful in future years. Louise McDill, Council vice president, outlined represen tation methods of the student governing bodies at the other Big Seven schools and told of the student cour,t provisions at these schools. Teacher Rating Mayer Moskouitz presented the results of his investigation of the student teacher rating plan. He reported that the stu dent faculty laison committee had decided that no general poll could fit the needs of the Uni versity. The poll, if conducted would have to be through de partments. The administration feels it is unable to analyze such a poll but is willing to back it if the Student Council is wil ling to conduct it. General opposition was the Council's attitude. Gene Berg stated that he felt that evalua ting such a poll was not a job for students, and this opinion was shared by many Council members.
