Move Men
To Europe
Marshall
New Plan Would
Triple Strength
According to Secretary of De
fense Marshall, the United States
has announced intentions to send
100,000 additional army troops,
including 72,000 men in four com
bat divisions, to serve with the
combined allied armies lor the
defense of Western Europe.
Such a move would triple the
number of army combat troops
already in Europe and raise the
number of U. S. ground forces to
approximately 197,000 m Europe.
At the present time there are
around 20,000 airmen and 10,000
navy men in Europe and the
Mediterranean.
American manpower in air and
sea units might lift the total in
the area to around 250,000.
Marshall did not specify how
long he thought the troops would
remain in Europe. The informa
tion was revealed to the senate
foreign relations and armed serv
ices committees "reluctantly" by
Marshall.

The additional appropriation
was asked by Dr. Leuth to bring

TALKS TO STUDENTS Leith Samuel, lecturer at the University under the auspices of
Inter-Varsity Fellowship, chats informally with (1. to r.) John Elwell, Mary Ann Pasek,
Hasselbalch and Ann Gilligan.' Samuel will give the last of his lecture series Friday
ning at the Social Sciences auditorium.
British Visitor Likes Midwest Simplicity;
Praises University's Religious Outlook
Athlete and scholar that is
Leith Samuel.
When Samuel, speaker for a
series of lectures being given at
the University, walked into the
"Rag" office Wednesday after
noon, he attracted everyone's at
tention. No, there was nothing differ
ent about the man. It was the
jacket he wore. On its pocket,
there was an emblem. The staff
stood around looking at it until
one of the crowd popped up,
asking what it was.
He said simply, "Oh, that's
my letter." He said that he had
acquired it at the University of
Liverpool, and that only those
who "represented the university
successfully" were entitled to
wear it. It was not his scholar
ship that entitled him to it. On
the contrary, it had been his
athletic feats. - -
Won Athletic Contests'
While he was working toward
his masters in New Testament
Greek, he had won the high
jump and broad jump cham
pionships at the University of
Liverpool.
In spite of these honors, Sam
uel stated, "You have two boys
here at Nebraska, who, if they
were in my country, would have
the high jump and broad jump
championships of all Great Brit
ain." Samuel told the staff that he
found the people here in the
midwest "more naturally them
selves." Likes Simplicity.
"They don't try to act a part,"
he said, "They seem essentially
simple and human but I like
it."
In comparing Lincoln to Mon
treal, he said that the people in
that Canadian city were quite
the opposite from the ones here.
He described them as "sophisti
cated and artificial."
"I had received the impres
sion in the East," he said "that
the people out here were big
and husky." He elaborated by
Nine Days
In AUF Windup Drive
Only nine days remain in the
drive to collect student donations
pledged during last year to All
University Fund. The deadline is
Feb. 25. House representatives
and unorganized student repre
sentatives ask that pledges be
turned in soon.
The All University Fund or
ganized at the University in 1943
for the purpose of combining all
campus charity drives to protect
the students from excessive char
ity drives throughout the year,
has a goal of $5,000, this year.
AUF supports with its funds
the Community Chest, tha World
Student Service Fund, and the
Crusade for Freedom. The Com
munity Chest in turn gives to
some 23 organizations, among
which are the University YMCA
and YWCA. Last year the Chest
gave the campus Y's $8,000, four
times as much as the $2,000 which
AUF gave to the Chest. Thus the
AUF funds which go to the Com
munity Chest are returned sev
eral times over to the students.
Charity Recipients
The World Student Service
Fund consumes charity funds in
these five ways: food, clothing,
medical aid, books, and housing.
A part of the AUF funds will be
earmarked for one foreign coun
try in need of student assistance.
From $300 to ' $500 of AUF
funds will be given to the Cru
sade for Freedom this year.
AUF Wins Praise
Five top ranking members of
the faculty and administration
had praise to offer for AUF's
role on the campus.
Stated Chancellor R. G. Gust
avson, "I am happy to endorse
the All University Fund. I hope
each of you will accept your re
sponsibility as a member of the
University family to support it.

saying that he had received a
false impression because the
people here seemed no different
from the easterners in that re
spect. "This University," asserted
Samuel, "is one of the most re
spectable and religious that I
have hit so far." He explained
that he had met a great number
of agnostics on other campuses,
and that there had been a few
"clashes of arms" over the issue.
Does God Exist?
"With the young people here,"
he said, "it is not a question of
'does God exist?' They are more
concerned with the practical
rather than the theoretical side
of it. Their question, rather,
has been 'how?' "
In speaking of the university
system in Great Britain, he
looked on it as- "much tighter
than before the war."
"Students now," he said, "are
having a much harder time of it.
Competition is very stiff."
He stated that the instructors
were giving many more lectures
than they ever had in the past.
He also said that the tutors,
aside from there being more of
them, were more concerned
with the students' learning and
were trying to get away from
the laxness propounded in the
former school of thought. In
this way, there is less time for
study. He believes, however,
that the newer system is more
advantageous.
Studied for Ministry
Aside from receiving his mas
ters degree from Liverpool,
Samuel studied for the Anglican
ministry at Queens college, Bir
mingham, England. He gradu
ated with a L.Th., and passed
his ordination exams but was
not ordained.

Remain
Let us share with less fortunate
students in far away places. Let
us accept our responsibility to
support the community of which
we are a part. Let's be a part of
the people's voice appealing for
freedom."
Frank M. Halgren, assistant
dean of student affairs said the
following about AUF;
"The All University Fund gives
us an opportunity to make a con
tribution to a community larger
than our own campus. To share
with our less fortunate fellows
and to support great causes be
yond the University is a privilege
that college man or woman will
not wish to ignore. The All Uni
versity Fund is worthy of our
generous help."
Other Endorsements
Professor of modern languages,
Joseph Alexis, declared, "The All
University Fund is a laudable en
terprise. It makes it possible for
the giver to contribute to var
ious campus drives with the as
surance that the needs are care
fully considered. You give 'with
the knowledge that the money is
well spent. In our complicated so
ciety it is as true as ever before
than man is his brother's keeper."
"One of our duties and privil
eges as American citizens is the
financial support of worthwhile
organizations and activities, I
know that our students who are
privileged by the opportunity of
attending a state-supported Uni
versity will actively and whole
heartedly support the AUF in
exceeding its goal," states Carl
W. Borgmann, dean of faculties.
The collections campaign will
only continue until Feb. 25. House
representatives will collect con
tributions from their respective
houses and there will be unorgan
ized student solicitation.

WalkProblem
Meets Action
In Ag Exec
An investigation of the need of
additional sidewalks on Ag cam
pus was proposed and ratified by
Ag Exec Board at their meeting
Wednesday. Students will be
questioned and the poll findings
presented in the form of sugges
tions to the Ag faculty.
The sidewalk proposal was
brought forward with regard to
the problem:
What can Ag students do to re
lieve destructive paths across the
Ag lawns?
A meeting of representatives
from each Ag college organization
was scheduled to awaken the en
tire student body to the unsight
liness of the paths.
Campus Improvements
Members of the Ag Exec board
campus improvements commit
tee Joan Raun, Dick Young and
Eugene Robinson reported on re
sults of a conference with Dr.. E.
Hixson and Dean W. V. Lam
bert. At a future date a drive will
be conducted by students to rid
the campus of the short-cutting.
An Exec board member said stu
dents will be asked to place in a
box erected for the purpose names
of those people cutting across the
lawns.
If after names are turned in, it
is found that a students name is
appearing consistently, Dean Lam
bert may ask the student to ap
pear in his office and present a
good reason for his persistent ac
tions. In connection, it was decided to
investigate the possibility of plan
ning better sidewalk by-ways and
to consult officials in charge of
architectural landscaping of Ag
campus.
The campus improvements
committee reported on develop
ments of the "Ag college sign"
drive. A $10 prize will be given
to the winner as well as his name
placed on the sign.
The members did not disclose
the amount of funds are avail
able for such construction but
duplicate signs, one at each of the
two drives, is the plan.
No Change
Jerry Johnson said the board
is making every effort to im
prove the Ag campus system of
inter-departmental club rela
tionships. The Soil Conservation club
asked to change their regular
meeting night from Thursday to
another time. The present Ag
Exec ruling requires all Ag de
partmentals to meet on the sec
ond or fourth Thursday of each
month. The request was not
granted.
The Ag Union submitted a pro
posal to draw up a more clearly
defined and complete Ag campus
schedule of events. Alice Ander
son was appointed to work with
Frank Siebert and Dick Walsh
of the Ag Union board on the
proposed calendar.
Minor changes in the constitu
tional by-laws that were proposed
Jan. 31 were acted upon and pass
ed. Only minor changes in the
technicality were submitted by
Jerry Johnson and Eugene Rob
inson, a committee of two in
charge of the constitutional al
teration. Style Specialists

versity who is called into the
creaii in me courses ne is car-
courses he is car
rying at a specified amount pro
vided ne nas a record or iour
or better in each course for which
credit is desired.
One-half credit may be given
without examination after eight
weeks attendance. When the stu
dent returns to University he
must establish full credit for each
course that is a prerequisite to a
succeeding course in the curricu
lum or course requirement. This
may be done by re-taking the
course or passing an advanced
standing examination.
Pass Exams
Three-fourths credit may be
given after 12 weeks attendance
without examination if the stu
dent can establish full credit for
each prerequisite course in the
curriculum or requirement by
taking it or passing an advanced
standing examination.
Full credit after 12 weeks of
attendance will be given if the
student can show evidence that
he has substantially completed
the work in a satisfactory man
ner indicating the ability to pur
sue the study at a higher level.
University rules do not permit
fractional credit hours to be re
corded, however. In cases where
the student earns a fraction of a
credit hour in a course, the in
structor may use his discretion
in telling the student what he
must do to convert the fractional
credit to a full credit hour.
Establish Full Credit
Any student in the latter situ
ation may request examinations
for partial or full credit in any
of the courses he is carrying. He
must have the approval of the
department and dean of the col
lege concerned. When he returns
to school, the partial credit stu
dent must establish full credit for
each course which is a prerequi
site to the course in a curriculum
or a course requirement. He may
re-take the course or pass an
advanced standing examination.
No departure will be made
from the requirements for de
grees that are now standing. The
policies concerning payment of
fees and refunds that are now in
effect shall not be deviated from.
Enlistments Do Not Count
The measure was instigated be
fore Christmas. The final pro
posal was drafted towards the
end of January. A temporary
measure was first adopted for
first semester students. The idea
was used during World War Two.
National air guard men will prob
ably be the first to take advan
tage of the new plan. It does not
pertain to enlistments.
H. H. Marvin is chairman of
the committee of credit for stu
