"ITS such a worthy charity. Think of your suf
fering fellow men. Give till it hurts."
How many times have students and adults
heard that plea? Various people come up to the
average person and ask him to contribute to some
charity. All this is fine, but sometimes it seems
a, it some of th charity campaigns are getting
to be more cC a three-ring circus than a charity

similar plots forms a well known story. When
freshmen enter activities, the one who knows the
officers or some influential member of the organ
ization is the one with the best chance of getting
ahead. If a fraternity brother or sorority sister
happens to hold influence, the worker's future is

defeat. Another was chosen. It is doubtful whe

Dear Miss Gorton:
In Monday's issue your article
on AUF contributions, '"Simple

what. You seem to wonder why
every University student cant
contribute $1.50 w $2.00 Oike
every girl of a sorority which
contributed 100 per cent). Per
haps they could but the sacrifice
incurred would be greater than
the one made by the average
sorority girls. One of the AUF
slogans is 'Sacrifice for AUF,"
isnt it? Well, let's look at the
sacrifice.
First, the sacrifice of the aver
age ororitygirl. To mv small
knowledge, her father really con
tributed the moneyand not shhe
herself. Maybe she did denv her
self a few purchasable pleasures
but not many. Second, the sac

some boys in fraternities and most

Britain Strives To Hold On To Her Empire
Sends Reinforcements To Canal Zone
UlsmAilwyiwA
Working like a multi-armed bricklayer, Great
Britain is feverishly attempting to mend the gaps
in the crumbling wall that is her once proud
empire. Before the Iranian dispute was solved the
harried British government was forced to redeploy
to meet attack from a new quarter; Suez.
In sharp contrast to the stand taken in Iran,
Britain declared that she would stay in the Suez that the presence 01 jsnusn troops on awpuaa
canal zone, and she sent troop reinforcements to territory was a threat to the peace, thus paying
prove it.
The canal serves as a vital link between
British possessions in the middle and far east
and the homelands. Protecting this lifeline are
some 10,000 combat troops from the Suez gar
rison, Cyprus, Trieste, and England under the
command of Lt. Gen. Sir George Erskine who
won the D.S.O. At El Alamein. Against this
formidable array Egypt can send about 5,000
men. Fortunately for Britain the Egyptians are
under-equipped and their morale is low because
of their defeat by Israel two year are.
Another reason for British tenacity in Suez is
that she is freed from fear of intervention by Rus
sia, which threat "as constant in Iran.
British interest in the canal began about 1870
when 'Queen Victoria's prime minister, Benjamin
Disraeli, bought 44 per cent of the French-Egyptian
Suez Canal Company's stock from the financially
embarrassed Khadive of E0 nt. A short time later
Egypt became a British protectorate, an -arrange'
the way for her recent denunciation of the 19S6
treaty. At that time the security council sneivea
the dispute, but it may soon be forced to grapple
with the issue again in the light of recent de
velopments. If the treaty was io run for only five mora
years, why has the Egyptian t owmnent moved
no to oust the British? One factor Is that Prima
Minister Manas Pasha needed crusade to off
set Internal difficulties. Reports are growing of
corruption In the government and scandals In
vloving members of Nahas' household. Corrup
tion's nothing new In the cast, but the reactions
of an awakening populace are unique In the
history of this nation whose people live In dire
poverty, Ignorance, and disease. The Cairo mob
and the rural fellahin reflect the rising national
ism of the middle cast and Nahas adopted, as a
diversion, the popular policy of blaming all ills
n Anglo-American Imperialism.
One solution, rejected by Egypt, would be t
pretty wen assured-regardless, a great deal of the m campug flctivIties aturallV( orority sters

The rest of the familiar story takes place
When time comes to file for 'office. If the se
lection procedure includes an election, a worker
Who has pull has more chance of being put on
the slate. Recommendations generally play an
important part In advancing a worker. If you
have a fraternity, sorority or some other tie,
you can sleep easier at night and work less
during the day. If the procedure includes Inter
Views, you have a better chance of getting the
SougHt-for position if yon know someone is
pushing you.
At limes this is all well end good to a certain
extent if the worker is as well qualified as the
next person. In this case sorority or fraternity
affiliations shouldn't make any difference.
Greeks have a tendency to prevent too many
persons in one house from getting positions. We
realize that domination of an organization by one
and fraternity brothers and members of same
houses are prone to support their "favorite son or
daughter." The same situation exists in the na
tional democratic and republican conventions. But
on the national scale, when states realize their
candidates have little chance or other candidates
are better qualified states usually bypass their
"favorites." I'm not suggesting we hold caucuses
before every interview, but it might be a good
idea if persons with particularly close ties with
candidates confine comments to purely objective
lines.
It might be better if the affiliations or non
affiliations of applicants did not come into con
sideration In selections for various positions.
Although I do not advocate an organization con
trolled by one particular social group, 1 do think
that the most capable person should be chosen,
even if this means having three out of four
officers from the same house.

lustrates this quite well, While Interviews were

It would be hard to do more flag waving

Would risk flag waving, however, rather than

Attention Mr. Howard Duncan:
I read with interest vour letter
siaung me organization of an En
gineering Party.
I believe that vou arp snmcwhet
sincere in your motives, but after
iooKing at your list of candi
dates. I find that thev do not ren-
resent the junior or senior class,
uui umy me college of Engineer
ing. The University of Nebraska is
composed of many colleges and
they work together fb produce one
great educational institution.
I feel hat by organizing a col
lege political party, you are
working directly against the in
terests of the University.
A new political party must have
basic issues and new idea as a
basis for its formation. You have
none outside of the fact that you
believe that Engineers should run
tne campus.
1 find upon checking closer that
your candidates represent: Amer
ican Society of Agricultural En
gineers; Society of Mechanical En.
gineers; American Institute of
Architect; Nebraska Blue Print
and Sigma Tau. The top controll
ing group of the six professional
societies is the Engineers Execu
tive Board. It is a coincidence that
two of your nominations are on
this group?
The reason for the one woman
candidate is -very obvious. It is
possible the crudest attempt to get
the woman's vote that I have ob
served the last four years on this
campus.
I personally have no desire for
junior and senior class officers
that are controlled bv the En
gineerlng Executive Board or any
faculty member of the College of
Engineering.
In closing may I say that Tour
Engineer's week is a wonderful
thing and adds much to University
life.
Stay in the realm of educational
achievements!

Things were slow on ""ye -ole

of Tain and the "fowl season,"
many parties included only cigar-

The big reason the campus
was almost a ""morgue," was

A few people staying home de
cided to liven things up a bit by
a trip out to Kings Friday Pight.
Lee Keller and Donna Elliott were
included m the group, as were
Don westlall and Nancy Randall,
Mike Lawlor and Jackie Heath,
Marty Mathewsen and Barbara
Arendt, Darryl Kamphe and Mar

The Sammies broke the week

party, costumes and all. Dave
Cohen and Helene Sherman at
tended the "Graveyard Ronde
voux," as did Ien Bush and
Ituthann Lavlne, Don Silverman
and Sally Soloman, and Mllroy
Zveltel and Martha Ficard.
Other couples, entertained by
the Marine band, "Othello," the
Pike, and Kings and various
informal parties, were Jerry Evans
and Mickey McDonald, Bill Ruber
and Dolly McQuistan, Mort Novak
and Elaine Cadwallador, Don
Leonard and Jo Folmer, Dale
