G. Gustavson told seniors at the senior convo cation Tuesday morning that if graduates stop believing in Ne braska university, it will go out of existence. "Gifts to the University express your confidence in higher edu cation," the Chancellor said, "but maintaining your interest in your University is more im portant than giving any sum of money." Chancellor Gustavson sug gested several ways in which graduates can keep alive their interest. He said that keeping in touch with classmates, in structors and the University it self will aid the school and the graduate. Influence He also said that graduates can influence young people to attend Nebraska, because young people will look to the new graduate for help. "Many peo ple go to college simply because their friends mention it to them," the Chancellor said. Chancellor Gustavson recom mended that graduates keep alive their interest in the Uni versity's state and national re lations. He recalled the interest shown by students last year when the state legislature was considering the appropriation of funds to the University. The Chancellor, who was in troduced to the convocation as a senior who came to the Uni versity four years ago as a con fused freshmen, said "It is a pleasure to know the student body at Nebraska. You are the heart of the University." He told of a conversation with Ralph Bunche in which Bunche had expressed his amazement at the interest and information Ne braska students have in world affairs. "I am proud of the stu dent .. tne chanceior said I " . Alumni Association Bill Day, president of the Ne i braska Alumni association, also addressed the seniors. He gave a j brief outline of the Alumni as I sociation and urged the class of j '50 to step up its enthusiasm in . the association. I he class of 19oU is signifi cant in that it comes at the turn of the century," he said. "You seniors should consider your selves ambasadors of the Uni versity, because people in your communities will judge Ne braska by your actions." Day said that members never graduate from the Alumni as sociation, and he expressed hope that the Class of '50 will stimu late the interest of others in the University. Bill Mueller, president of the senior class, told seniors that it is up to them to perpetuate the University throughout Nebraska and other states by being good alumni.

The booth, located in the Mili tary and Naval Science building, is being occupied this week by officers and workers of AUF during the hours of registration to give students an opportunity to pledge their donations to AUF. Payment will be due Feb. 25, 1951. Jo Lisher, director of the drive, stated that students have made a conscious effort to make their pledges in the first two days of registration. . New System The new system of pledges was inaugurated this year to in sure a more efficient and suc cessful program for next year. By making early pledges, stu dents will not be required to make payments any earlier. The most important objective of the new plan, according to Miss Lisher. is that students are not as likely to be hurried into making pledges. Also, there will be a ' tendency to eliminate un necessary soliciting. The new program for next year calls for an extended drive. The campaign will probably con tinue from the opening of school untl Feb. 25. 1951.
