Years ago, senior classes at the University left gifts of permanent value to the school. This year, for the first time since the post-war boom in enrollment, the senior class is planning to do the same thing. The senior convocation, which will take place in the Union ballroom this morning at 10 o'clock, will offer stu dents on their last lap an opportunity to hear something about their roles as alumni after they are graduated next month. Chancellor Gustavson, Bill Day, president of the Nebraska Alumni association, and Senior Class President Bill Mueller will be the convocation speakers. We all know that life as students at Nebraska is packed with fun and enjoyment along with the educational values which we are able to gain. But a visit with any alumnus will show that interest in the University does not stop wits graduation.

To the Student Body: The All University fund is in the process of inaugurating the "pledge system" on the University campus. We of AUF feel that this system will enable the students to give more freely than in the past years. The "pledge system" enables students to pledge the sum of money they feel able to fulfill during the next school year. The amount pledged can be paid at any time until February 25, 1951. This change in the AUF policy was felt to be necessary since stu dents were being hurried in their payments in the more concentrated drive held in the previous years. The World Student Service fund is used to support student self- help projects, to give foreign students supplementary feeding, nu tritional aid, medical care, books and study materials, scientific equipment, travel aid, student centers, rest and rehabilitation cen ters. Another recipient of the AUF drive is the Community Chest The chest is a cooperative organization of citizens and welfare agen cies which promotes the social welfare and health of the community by coordinating existing programs of service, preventing duplication, conducting research, and developing better public understanding and support of both private and public social work. Still other re cipients of the fund are the Infantile Paralysis fund, Red Cross and the United Negro College fund. These are all organizations worthy of support from the student body. We of the All University fund NEED the support of you, the student body, in our new campaign. When passing through the registration line, sign an AUF pledge. It will be appreciated by we students who are working for the above organization; also, stop a minute and think of all the other people who will appreciate your contribution of the people who need the extra dollar or two so much more than we can ever realize. Sincerely, Joann Lisher . AUF Director. BY JOAN KRUEGER By Joan Krueger "State Fright" The suspense drama of Al fred Hitchcock, "State Fright," will open at the State Tuesday.

Condra, chief of the Uni versity conservation and survey division and state geologist, tell of a gathering of Nebraska alumni in California. He told of ths fun which they had in talking over old times when they were students. The convocation this morning will give seniors a few tips on how they can become active and interested alumni of their University. The spirit and enthusiasm which alumni show can go a long way in aiding the school itself. The second main purpose of Senior Week is to raise funds to purchase a gift for the University from the Class of '50. These funds will be raised through the sale of senior ribbons and through the proceeds gained from the Skip Day at Linoma Beach Wednesday. Naturally, the success of Senior Week depends upon the cooperation of seniors. A committee has been appointed by Class President Mueller to start the ball rolling. But it is up to the seniors themselves to carry the ball. Today and Wednesday will be the only remaining chance for seniors to gather informally before they start the long grind which follows college life. You, the seniors, and your University will benefit by a successful Senior Week. ner, that makes a race.

It's only a matter of weeks before graduating seniors put on their caps and gowns and walk down the aisle to receive those long-awaited diplomas. And all over the cam pus we hear people planning for "a last big blow-out" be fore graduation. Often it is the case that seniors have so many social activities during their final semester that they lorget about studying. More than one student has missed out on graduation exercises because he failed to make his grades. The grades for these last wto weeks of school do go down on the record, and they can make or break the woma-oe graduate. Every now and then we read that advocates of pho netic spelling are re-vociferating their pleas for a simplified form of the written word, a form which would throw out all silent vowels and consonants from the language.

That spring is a fine time of the year is not to be Senied. But what about the attitude which prevails during his lazy season? The effect of the seasonal let-down is more than noticeable on the University campus. Coeds stretch out on the green to soak up the welcome sun, and when they've finished, they soak the ground with lunch sacks, cigarettes, old "Rags" and notes that are of no more use. The campus drivers also take on a new look. It seems that the faster your car will, scream down 16th street, the better exponent of this wonderful season you are. Spring nnds rar too many students slacking off. It's not exactly necessary that everyone keep his nose to the grindstone constantly, but it is desirable to maintain a steadv trace in this business of acquiring an education. Spring brings a new dignity and beauty to the campus each year. Cannot tne numan element oe induced to assist instead of hamper ing nature in her efforts? The junior council is to be congratulated for its fine work in organizing the junior class and for the activities it is offering its fellow students. Latest event is the barbe cue and dance to be held at Antelope park Friday. Every junior class member is being informed of the event by an individual letter. But the post script on the letter accusing the senior class of stealing junior ideas seems a little out of taste. Seniors hope to leave the University a permanent gift, financed by the funds raised during Senior Week. They certainly are not trying to "steal" junior ideas or outdo janiors in promoting class spirit. It's too late for seniors to generate much class spirit anyway, Oh well, Ivy Day is ever. By Bill Outran Weary campusites were given a shot in the arm Sunday night when Alpha Epsilon Rho presen ted its second annual revue. This years production, written and produced by Gaylord Marr, was called "I Can Almost Hear It Now." It contained the high lights of the past 50 years of radio, humorously interpreted by the best collection of campus talent to tread the boards in many a dreary day. The revue was a fast moving collection of skits skillfully tied together by the many talented Marr, who acted as the master of ceremon ies. The cast more than proved its versatility by protraying a full Music Groups Will Appear In Concert As their contribution to Music Week, three honorary music so rorities at the University will join to present a concert tonight at 8 p. m. in St. Paul Methodist church.

Starting with Marconi's in vention of the radio, the revue took the audience through the teens and the days of World War I. Then it progressed into the "roaring twenties" with its silent movies, blind pigs, and "chestless" girls. Here it slid into the depression torn thirties, the war ravaged forties, and as the finals, this University in 1950. Time and again the show was delayed while the applauding full house demanded an encore. Bud Imlay was called back for his superb tap dancing routinee as was mimic Patsy Dutton whose pleasing performance showed painstaking practice. Cast Members Other members of the cast who were singled out by the 400 member audience were Twila Walker, Lois Nelson and Gus Reidy. Miss Walker appeared many times in the show and her character interpretations were outstanding. Miss Nelson, also a repeater, was particularily pleas ing when she played the part of a discharged WAC. Reidy. who was a member of the quartet that appeared during the revue, also did an excellant portrayal of a blind radio script writer. The show was so well received Sunday that plans are presently being made to present it once more before the year is over.

Cotten is in the role of a quiet-spoken young American writer of westerns who comes to Vienna to secure a job promised to him by his Old friend Harry Lime. He ar rives just in time to follow Lime's funeral cortege to an Austrian cemetery. His skepti cism about the alleged "accident" which was the cause of death leads him into suspicion that points more and more to murder. Valli is a sersitive, distraught actress who was in love with Lime, and who because of forged papers, is being grilled by the international police unit. Orson Wells is seen in 8 mys terious role. The musical score, composed and played by a Vie nese zither player, adds a touch of special atmosphere to the pic ture.

The Council has decided that the most effective plan to stop cheating in fraternities, sorori ties, organized houses and dorm itories is to send an honor system to each organization for approval or disapproval' said Roz How ard. Student Council president. The object of the proposal, Howard declared, is to obtain a pledge from each organized house that cheating will not be tolerated in the house. The feel ing of the Council committee. Howard continued, is that while organized houses do not encour age cheating, there is not suffi cient disapproval of it to elimi nate cheating to a much greater extent. Each organized house will dis cuss the proposal at meetings and send their decision of op proval or disapproval to the Stu dent Council, Howard said. Howard declared, "I don't feel for one minute that this is going to rectify the situation imme diately but the action by the or ganized houses is one of the ne cessary steps which must be tak en in order to make the Univer sity not only a giver of knowl-elge- but a builder of character."
