A motion to dispense with
segreated faculty-student parking
was passed Wednesday by the
Student Council. The motion to
return to last years' parking plan

committee on parking. ,

faculty and University employe
parking: stickers had been sold
to date. There are 1,412 parking-
stalls available on campus.
Six thousand c.irktnff tinkots
have been given out and 18 stu
dents have been rusticated ac
cording to the recent plan for
violators.
The . Council voted on an
amendment to Article 4, section

dental colleges will be given one
Council representative each.
This motion was tabled last

ing next Wednesday. The vote of
the members present was in favor
of the amendment, but requires
a two-thirds majority of the en
tire Council membership.
Joe Gifford, president of the
senior class officers, presented
the Council with a plan for the
officers to sell senior gradua
tion announcements. By this
plan, Gifford said, the class of
fleers could build up their treas
ury and with this money buy a
class memorial or be able to ex
tend financial help to needy
student service organizations.
The senior class president now
only handles the advertising and
obtains the names of graduating
seniors. The Nebraska 3ook store
handles the sale of the announce
ments. According to Glfford's plan, rep
resentatives of the senior class
council will be in every organ-

stein, told the Council that they
were interested in having a rep
resentative on the Council next
year. Under the new constitution,
the N-club does not have a repre

A certain sorority pledge
class decided that things were
too quiet around their house to
suit them. They made up their
collective minds to remedy the
situation by spraying moth ball
powder in every room of their
house.
The actives took the little Joke
In their stride and let the
pledges think they had pulled
the moth-sprayed wool over
their eyes. However, later that
evening, the pledges received a
rather cool welcome from the
actives in the form of a mass
dunking under the shower In
spite of the fact that they prob
ably rid the house of any moths
that might want to settle in the
house.

Joan Hanson, president of the All University Fund board, has
announced the coal for the 1952 fund drive and the oreanizationa $ ' ' ' "
uiai win De Denericianes to tne drive.
AUF is maintaining its last year's goal of $5,000 In spite of
an expected enrollment drop of approximately 1,000 students.
The organizations to benefit from the monev received durlnsr
the 1952 fund drive will be: Lincoln Community Chest; World Stu
dent Service Fund; and Cancer research at the University.
These organizations were chosen by the student body through
a poll given by AUF. After the polls had been completed, the AUF
executive, solicitations, and publicity boards voted on the percentage
to be given to each of the chosen organizations. The money will be
aiviaea as iouows:
Lincoln Community Chest 40
World Student Service Fund , 40
University cancer research.. 15
Operating expenses 5
World Student Service Fund is the onlv international studnnt.
relief agency that is recognized by UNESCO, National Student asso
ciation, and World Student Conference Federation. The main cate
gories of WSSF overseas aid are: medical aid; maintainance of rest
centers; aid to refugee and DP students; aid to TB students; edu
cational supplies; emergency food and clothing; community centers
and self-help hostels. WSSF is also the only student relief organiza
tion to which only students and faculty members can contribute.
The Lincoln Community Chest is organized for the task of
financing the needs of 27 private welfare agencies and their
branches. There are six general types of services given by the
local Chest agencies. They are: care of children and aged; mili
tary services; youth guidance; relief and rehabilitation; commun
ity health; and coordinating services.
In return for the funds given to the Chest by students through
AUF, the Chest gives $8,000 to the University YMCA and YWCA.
In other words, the Chest gives the Y group three fourths more
return.
The money given through AUF to further cancer research at
the University will be used for a special microscope for the study
of cell growth and research. Dr. Thomas Pace and his associates
are now studying cells and their relation to cancer, which still re
mains one of the mysteries surrounding cancer.
The purpose of AUF is to organize, promote, and to administer
all solicitation of money from the total student body of the Uni
versity. No other organization may be permitted to ask for do
nations from the total student body of the campus without the per
mission and approval of AUF. The intent of this limitation is to
prevent students from being solicitated by every organization
which might see fit to carry on a campus drive.
All money which is received by AUF is given only to oreaniza-
tions which will use the money on the University campus, in the
state, or for needy students of university age in devastated countries
to runner tneir educations.

NATO Sets Defense Budget
LONDON The western al
lies announced that Western
Germany could spend $2.6 bil
lion for defense in the 1953
fiscal year without hurting her
economy. This statement was
issued by the North Atlantic
Treaty executive board
The three-man board also
said that the United States
would increase its defense
spending by 30 per cent in that
fiscal year to a total of $57
billion.
Britain is expected to con
tribute $4.2 billion toward the
defense of western Europe, an
increase of 21 per cent. France
will spend $3.5 billion or about
one-tenth again as much as she
now spends.
The executive board is made
up of W. Averill Harriman of
the United States, Sir Edwin
Plowden of Britain, and Jean
Monnet of France. These men
have the job of figuring how
much each of the western
powers should contribute
toward the rearmament of
Western Europe.
Pact Council Discusses Germany
LISBON The Council of the
North Atlantic Pact convened
in Lisbon. The council dis
cussed the draft of an agree
ment which would give Ger
many the same guarantees
against aggression as those
given to members of the
Atlantic pact. ,
American Secretary of State
Dean Acheson . addressed the
opening session of the council .
with the statement, "We must
take actions that will strain
all of us to the utmost."
Paulo Cunha, Portugese for
eign minister, welcomed the
delegates to his country and
then made an appeal for the
admission of Spain to the At
lantic pact. He said the de
fense of the Iberian peninsula
would be impossible without
Spain's participation in the
pact.
Allies Reject Red Demand
PANMUNJOM, Korea For
the fifth straight day allied
negotiators rejected a com

one of the six "neutral" coun

Korean armistice.
U.N. sources apparently are
convinced that if Russia got a
position on the police board it
would be easy to launch a new
propaganda campaign showing
Russia to be a "peace leader."

Long's Candidate Defeated
NEW ORLEANS, La. The
power of the Long machine
in Louisiana may have been
throttled by a. defeat handed
Earl Long's candidate for gov
ernor in yesterday's elections.
Robert F. Kennon, county
appeal judge, built up a "com
manding lead" over Carlos
Spaht, the Long candidate.
Kennon's lead applied to the
metropolitan areas of Louisi
ana as well as to the rural
parishes. Spaht was previously
reported as strong in the rural
areas. j
According to state law, no
governor may succeed himself
so Gov. Earl Long hand-picked
a successor. Kennon, however,
had the support of three New
Orleans daily newspapers and
the political organization of
Mayor de Lesseps. , ,
