Schedule
Of AUF
Revealed
Lislier Plans
Campus Drive
An advanced schedule for so
licitations toy the All University
Fund was announced by Jo Lisher,
director.
The AUF program sets up the
procedure tfor individual -drives
beginning arly next month and
continuing through next Febru
ary, j
There will be six pledging pe
riods, each .devoted to collecting
contributions from six general
student groupings on campus.
Miss Lisher said that Ivan
Slote and Mary Ann Kellogg have j
co-organized house workers on
solicitations and have set the
pledging -dates for the separate
drives as follows:
riedpinc Dates
Oct. 2-16, Fraternities and so
rorities. Oct. -16, Organized houses.
Oct. 16-30, Activity organiza
tions. Oct. 24-Nov, , Denominational
groups.
Nov. -6-Feb. 26, Independent
students.
Oct. 2-Feb. 26, All student hon
or aries.
Miss lisher stated that collec
tions will start Oct 16 and con
tinue through Feb. 25.
On the official opening -day of
the first individual -drive, Oct. 2,
AUF speakers will visit the 40
fraternity and sorority houses on
campus .and will explain the pur
pose of AUF and the plans lor
the drive. Fosters will also be
distributed at various points on
campus.
AUF"s Pisrpeae
AUF has the sole purpose pri
marily to collect student contribu
tions for only groups recognized
by the University as most worthy.
These groups include the Com
munity Chest, World Student;
Service fund which sends aid to
students in foreign countries, the
Bed Cross, and Infantile Paraly
sis fund.
With the AUF making collec
tions, all these -drives are com
bined into one thus eliminating
the possibility ol several welfare
agencies asking the student to
dig into his pocket more than
once for charity.
Miss Lisher stated that students
should remember that "AUF rep
resents very worthy groups and
contributors' money will make ;up
for live -or six -donations they
might make -otherwise."
'Sacrifice Asked
She added, ""There are more J
than twenty organizations -on
campus that ask students to buy,
but there is only -one that asks
a sacrifice AUF."
Students are given their choice
of either making a -direct -contribution
or simply pledging a
certain amount which will be
collected before Feb. 25.
"So far," said Miss lisher,
"'AUF solicitations have gone
Ouite well. Over -one-fifth of .the
AUF goal of $5,000 has already
been collected by booth -donations."

Cheerleaders will go to each
of Jhe organized houses on cam
pus to teach them '"The Corn
husker' and The Chant" in
preparation for Saturday's game.
These two traditional Corn
husker songs will be revived this
fall in an effort to stimulate Ne
braska spirit. They will be heard
for the first time at the Indiana
game, Sept. SO.
One f the nine cheerleaders
will visit every organized house
on campus between Wednesday
and Saturday to teach them bolh
songs with special emphasis on
"The Chant." Prior to Wednes
day, Frank Piccollo yell king,
wil contact these groups to
make appointments.
The other cheerleaders are
Larry Anderson, Don Devries,
Ira Epstein, George Hancock,
Leonard Kehl, "Brick" Paulsen,
Jerry Tubbs, and Dick Wake
roan. After Xationa! Anfhent
Ten minutes before the game
starts, the crowd will rise and
sing the ""Star Spangled Ban
ner, which has been customary
to the past. Immediately follow
ing the national anthem, they
will remain standing ard sing
"The Cornhusker," Nebraska's
school song. "The Chant" will be
used at various times throughout
the game when the footballers
need an extra -push" to win the
game.
Copies of the song have al
ready been sent to organized
campus groups. All groups are
urged to learn these songs.
A student-faculty committee
recently approved the revival of
j these two songs. The Corn-
' busker" is sung by members of j
I the football team after each ;
j meal at the NU training table. It i
is, Coach Bill Glassford reported, :
i their favorite song.
! Many alumna called the Una-"!
; versity to inquire why "The !
! Ccrahuskers" was no longer be- j
ang sung at f ootball games.
Formerly, the crowd at home !
games remained after play was '
finished to sins this song. The
student-lacuitv committee, de- !
ciddtrtsmgthesongat the;
just as effective.
Tbe freshman pep squad prac
ticed the song at their first pep
rslly and at was sung at the
varsity-freshman football fame
Saturday.
Song Dropped
The song apparently was
dropped during the last war be
cause of tie lack of interest in
the ctreary Husker football for
tunes of those years.
Glassford emphasized that re
believes that the cheering of the
crowd can affect the play of tbe
team. He credited the Missouri
ehering section with much of the
responsibility for Missouri's 21
20 victory -over Nebraska last
year, Glassford said that student
and alumni support can give the
team a tremendous '"lift.'"
Tbe words and music for these
two songs are published on the
front page of today's "Rag.

Jack Barnhart, Cornhusker
business manager, says that the

faster than they have for the

He attributes this to the reduc

People thought it

-'flop.'

But in spite of this, -The
Cornhusker" finally caught the
imagination of the students and
became the first real University
song. Before I9Q&, -"The Scarlet
and Cream" bad been Nebras
ka's school song, but other col
leges used the same tune with
-different words.
Tbe affiktk -department i-

school song. Tbe songs they re-

In 1:909, Prof. Robert W. Ste

at the School of M usic, composed
a song be called -The Cornbusk

boys in the glee club to sing at
at tbe next football game. Tbe
crowd at ihe game gave it a
rather cool reception. The music
bad a hard time to it; its
rhythm was tricky.
Song Published
However, Professor Stevens

The glee club began to sing
tbe song at its public appear

began to print the opening bars
of "The CornhuskerE' over the
stories about the .glee club.
The Journal, however, made
