The presi dent stopped in Lincoln while on a nation-wide trip to give his first major address of the tour. NU Meds Plan Final Meeting Dr. James E. M.

Georgia Man Tape Records Class Notes A talking notebook is a big help when examinations roll around at Emory university in Georgia, according to Jeff Abra ham, senyir phychology major. Instead of a notebook of scrawled class notes, Abraham assembles a neat file of tape re cordings of significant lectures. Then he just lies back and lis tens. "Its a streamlined way to cram for exams," he admits, "but re corded lectures have, their draw backs. I don't find time to lis ten to all 45 hours of class over again and the professor Is sure to ask us about something I didn't replay." Abraham declared that the tape recorder is most valuable in playing back the lectures the same evening, and in helping him to understand the work bet ter. Teachers dod not object to the machine in the classroom. They are interested, and are anxious to listen to their own recordings. Abraham can pick up the pro fessor's voice from the front row. His machine weighs only 15 pounds and holds a reel of tape that records for two hours silent ly. The tape can be erased "by simply recording over it. "Perhaps the recorder could attend class for me when I want a cut, but I haven't tried that," says Abraham. "Sometimes, how ever, I do cutch a little sleep. I know I can hear the lecture served as toastml.stress. Flowers for the tables were a gift of the later." Exam Schedule NATI1RDAV, MAY 17 0:00 a. m. tn 12.00 m.

The purpose of the convocation was to instill the idea of class spirit into the Senior Class as a group and to make students realize their value to the Uni versity as alumni nembers. Day, former football coach at Nebraska, told the seniors of their duty to the University and the Alumni association after graduation. He urged all seniors to become active members of the association. The Senior Week has been planned by the newly formed Senior council headed by Rod Lindwall. Stanford Campus Leaves NSA Stanford University has with drawn from the National Stu dents association because of the high cost of operating the local NSA committee. Student body representatives felt that the $1,294 spent during the current school year was too much for the benefits gained from It. The main expenses were the traveling expenses for con ventions which are considered to be among the most important functions of NSA. Students expressed the belief that though NSA does a "great job" in helping build student or ganization in the smaller colleges, well-established student bodies did not derive comparable benefits. THE DAILY NEBRASKAN SGudeii'S's The worst Lincoln flood in 42 years hit the city last night and helping in the rescue work were many University students. Mem bers of the Red Cross College Unit and individual volunteers joined with city, state and na tional Red Cross disaster workers to care for the people left home less by the flood. 5 Several students worked all last night evacuating flood vic tims and caring for those rescued. Bob Mosher, president of the college unit, was busy all night transporting, by trucks, cots and other emergency equipment from the University to the temporary Red Cross headquarters at Park School. 8th and F streets. Web Emory, swimming in structor at the University and Lincoln High School, also helped the evacuation workers during the entire night. All day Tuesday workers at Park School were caring for the homeless. In a call to The Daily Nebraskan, Jan Lindquist, vice president of the RCCU, reported that she and four other coeds were presently serving food and taking care of the flood victims. Miss Lindquist issued a plea for all students with free l.me Wednesday to offer their services to the Red Cross. "All help will be appreciated, from stenograph ers to laborers," Miss Lindquist said. Coed Workers A few of the duties Miss Lind quist and the other girls were do ing were folding blankets, mak ing sandwiches and other food for the homeless, caring for 'the children, distributing clothing and serving in any other way , - -.-.,. ,,,iWn,fr Courtesy of the Lincoln Journnl) EMERGENCY CANTEEN Flood victims were given food by the Red Cross at the Park school. University students were on hand . to assist the organization in tlood relief. possible. The other coeds are Carol Shopman, Marge Schmid, Doree Cannady and Pat Dishner. According to George D. Gates, field representative for the na tional Red Cross safety service, most of the work now being done by the Red Cross and other workers "is taking care of the homeless. Rehabilitation will come later Gates said. Temporary housing has been set up in the school and nearby homes. Any persons with avail able beds or clothing for the homeless should contact Gates at the school. The flood, which claimed 11 lives, was blamed on heavy rains swelling the Big Blue river and Turkey, Salt and Antelope creeks. Water reached a climax in Lincoln Tuesday morning with the highest Salt Creek measure ment, at 22nd and Theresa, reg istering 42.3 feet at 10 a. rn. By -noon Tuesday it had receded to 41.2. 100 Homeless Families The crest of the flood then started south and Ashland and the lowlands between Ashland and Lincoln received serious flooding from Salt Creek.

JONtB COUP., Aid Flood Hesciie (Courtesy of the Lincoln Journal) RED CROSS FLOOD STATION University students aided the Lincoln Red Cross in the relief given to approximately 300 city victims of the flood who were given shelter at Park school, an emergency station. Many other victims slept in cars. inches of precipitation by noon Tuesday. At least 100 " families were made homeless in southwest Lincoln by the flood. Most of these were cared for at Park school and according to Vernon Zimmerman, director of the Ne braska Red Cross, "no cases of a serious nature" had reported to the emergency hospital ward. Helping them in rescue work were a number of national guard anphibious "ducks." They travel ed the flooded part of Lincoln rescuing helpless citizens who had not alerted soon enough to avoid the raging torrents. Officials said the widening and straightening of Salt creek, which has been done in the past num ber of years, was effective in keeping the flood stage from reaching new all time heights. The channel north of the fair grounds was running bank full at noon Tuesday, Law Seniors Hit Undcrclcssmcn At Picnic, 21-13 Seniors at the Law colk'ge blasted the Underclassmen, 21 to 18 in a Softball game during the Law school's annual Spring pic nic held Saturday afternoon.

I 1 5: l ,v - Salt Creek's Drives Many At 2:30 a.m. the city is us ually asleep. Such was not the case Tuesday. While a good many of Lin coln's residents were dry, warm and comfortable, others were flooded from their homes. While most were resting comfortably on their beds, some were perched uncomfortably on rooftops, then beds underwater. Salt Creek again had risen. This writer, hearing broad casts of the disaster, found hundreds of the city's popula tion grouped together at the edge of the flood, less than half a mile from 13th and South street. Rescue squads, news papermen and homeless families provided a vocal undercurrent to the persistent swirl of the waters a few feet away. Stranded on Roofs The night air was chilly and the rising waters merely added to the dampness. Toward the west, all that could be seen was an endless valley of watt r. The silence of the night, usually pen etrated only by an occasional train-whistle, was spasmodically broken by distant, plaintive sounds. Upon asking, this writer found that the sounds were the cries of families stranded on the roofs of houses, thousands of feet away. One man told of earlier driv ing down a near-flooded country road. About three miles from Lincoln, he turned back to see the entire road behind him a swirling sea. Realizing his folly, he parked his car on the highest point available and set off cross country toward town. He said that he expected to find his car in a week, frobnbly demolished and resting in the foot of a ra vine Worse than '40. Reports of first-hand observ ers differed as to the extent of the flood. One man, a resident of ''lower Lincoln" for nearly 40 years, remarked that it was the highest that he had ever seen Salt Creek. "It's way above '42," he said. He was referring to 1942 when, at about the same time of the year, Salt Creek again went on a rampage. Another observer, a young la borer, was serving as a member of the rescue squad. Using a motor boat, he was trying to reach the farthest homes under water. He admitted It was im possible to get to the stranded families. "The water's just ton fast," he Open Thuri.

He added that he noticed numerous livestock in the water, especially goats. According to radio station KLMS, which certainly deserve praise for staying on the air the entire night, the waters were rising. According to most of the newspapermen and rescue-men, the waters were receding. It made no difference. Salt Creek had done its damage. ContToPkk Ugliest Tar Hcl Newest contest to hit the Uni versity of North Carolina is' the "Ugliest Man on Campus" con test sponsored by Theta Chi fraternity. To enter the contest, male students simply make themselves up to look as ugly as possible and have their pictures taken. Grease paint and make-up, not facial expression will count in selecting the winner, who will receive a date with Miss Modern Venus and an evening complete with steaks and an orchid. The contest has the backing of one of the oldest clubs on campus the Ugly club, which was formed almost as soon as the doors of the University were opened and until an urrfortunate incident occurred it was one of the leading campus organiza tions. It was forced to disband, however, when its members set off a keg of dynamite in an in structors home and blew up the house. Swindler to Head Kappa Tau Alpha Dr. William F.
