advance information was avail
able concerning the nature of
the speech, Dr. Gustavson is ex
.pected to report to the student
body on the state of the Univer
sity and its prospects for the
immediate future.
His all-University address last
year was entitled "Here We Stand"
and was the first in a series of
annual reports. I
Dr. Gustavson, a well-known
Scientist and educator, is begin
ning his sixth year as chancellor
ol the University. He is considered
one of the outstanding educational
administrators in the country. J
He was decorated in 1948 by the!
Swedish government for his work
in the fields of science and educa
tion. State chairman for the
March of Dimes campaign for five
years, he will be the honorary
chairman for 1953.
The Chancellor's convocation
Is the first of four official all
University convocations to be
sponsored during the year by
the convocations committee.
Classes will be dismissed for
the four.
The committee, however, will
probably sponsor several other
addresses called all-University
convocations for which the
dismissal of classes will be left
up to individual instructors.
"Whenever the occasion arises,
when an outstanding person is
available," said Carl J. Schneider,
chairman of the convocations
committee, "we will sponsor a
convocation. The speeches, he
added, will be scheduled when as
many students as possible can at

will receive additional attention

the course of the elections cam

(Dem-Ala.), Democratic vice
presidential candidate, addressed
University students two weeks
ago at the invitation of the con-"
vocations committee.
Dwight Dell, petition candidate
for United States senator
term), will speak Oct. 22.
The second official convoca
tion speaker, according to
Schneider, will be W. H. Audcn,
who will appear Nov. 6. Auden,
Schneider said, is "one of the
outstanding poets of the time."
Born an English citizen, he
is now a naturalized American.
Auden is "something of a trail
blazer in modern literature,"
Schneider said.

The future of the 1953 College

Thursday when the CD Board
holds its first meeting.
If the Board favors such a pro

The program was abandoned
last year when the Board found

The question of who is to play

one of the big questions in stu

the "Maytimers."
May's newest releases are "All

, - , . . The entertainment chairman,
ceived and May was launched on La Sheie said, is responsible for
his career.
May was associated with two
musical greats: Charley Barnet
and Glenn Miller. His contribu-
tions, "Cherokee" and "Iua"
have put his name high in the
ranks of music makers.
After a stint as an arranger in
Charlie Barnet's band, he joined
Miller s orchestra where he held
down the "Jazz Trumpet" chair
and did some arranging.
When Miller's orchestra broke
up in 1942, May remained in New
York and began working in radio
doing several network shows over
NBC.
Later he moved to the West
Coast where he was arranging
for several radio programs in
cluding; Bob Crosby's Old Gold
series, the Kraft Music Hall,
Duffy's Tavern, and the Red
Skelton Show. He also made
several appearances with Woody
Herman.
Ozzie Nelson asked to direct the
orchestra in his show. May still
works on the radio program.
His association with Capitol
Records began in 1946, when he
arranged for a series of jazz rec
ords. It was the record company's
move to produce "dance series"
albums that led to May's "rediscovery."
A number of former Glenn Mil
ler men will appear with May's
orchestra when it plays at the

Greek Animosity
Was Not Intended
By TOM WOODWARD
Staff Writer
There have been questions and
comments galore concerning the
speech made by Chancellor Gus
tavson at the FarmHouse Na
tional Convention.
A Lincoln newspaper carried
an account of the speech with
quotes refering to the "Spirit of
Democracy and Mutual Help"
found on Ag campus, that the
Chancellor, "hoped would be
come common to the University
as a whole."
In a telephone interview the
Chancellor said that his remarks
were not intended as being dero
gatory to the Greek letter fra
ternities. He said that FarmHouse
was founded for Agricultural stu
dents and it seemed only natural
to give it such a name. He said
thaUit would have created a false
atmosphere to give the fraternity
a Greek letter name,, for it would
have little real meaning to its
members and their parents. He
added that he did not mean that
any fraternity, with a Greek name
was necessarily under a false
atmosphere.
Gustavson said that he thought
there were many areas where the

Fifteen per cent of the total
funds will go to the development
of cancer research. This money
will be used to buy a new 'phase
contrast microscope" for the Insti

ning to support the Red Cross,
Heart, and Cancer associations.
AUF is set up to organize, pro
mntp and administer all solicita
tions of money from the total
student body of the University. It
is the only organization allowed
to drive for funds on the Ne
braska campus.
One of the primary aims of
AUF is to educate all as to its
purpose.
After the kickoff dinner. Rev.
Eex Knowles, AUF adviser; will
speak to 200 fund workers in

But Eisenhower urged that McCarthy be sent back to the Sen
ate. Tn his tmeech McCarthy drew a chorus of boos as he said, "As
long as I represent you in the Senate, I shall continue to call them
as I see them regardless of who happens to be President."
Eisenhower made reference to both Truman and Stevenson in
his attack on Communism. He said domination of tie nation's poli
cies by men who scoffed at the menate of Red penetration in gov
ernment "meant in its most ugly triumph treason itself."
GOV. AD LAI STEVENSON said thai -'defense and inflation con

portant than new social security benefits. His Ohio audience greeted
every mention of Sen. Robert Taft with boos.
The Democratic nominee said Taft's team lost the Chicago

he won it single-handed. I understand they plan to play the third

Stevenson said he was as opposed to socialized medicine as any
