Unfortunately, the percentage In the Alumni Newsletter, published by the of graduates who keep up this membership after University of Omaha Alumni Association, for the free time runs out is small. March of this year, this interesting piece of news The Nebraskan believes, and the Association apj-ears: agrees, that a strong alumni-student relation "Omaha U alumni will play host to graduating should be built up to give the Association a boost. seniors at the annual Lang Syne Dance Friday The idea OU has used is a good one and similar evening, April 17. Tickets are $1.20 per person projects are definitely under consideration here, and $2.40 per couple, tax included." This is the It is obvious that graduates can be of great reallv interesting cart.

Through direct connection with the University the Alum nus out-state graduates can be prompted to talk up our school in areas where there is decided '53 will be the guests of the Association." The Daily Nebraskan is wholeheartedly in favor of increased alumni-student co-operation. So are the alumni. There is little doubt that student especially the seniors would be interested in a dance similar to the one OU is planning. For the last semester class representatives and Jim Pittinger, new Alumni Secretary, have been disinterest getting together to work on some plan to bring the alumnus closer to the undergraduate. The Although alum-student co-operation is an idea results of these meetings have been very encour- which has been stewing in the back of a great aging. One recent manifestation of this work was many campus heads lor a long time, u is just now the Alumni Association's invitation to the class coming out in the open. Let us hope that the OU officers to the Charter Day banquet example catches on. D. P. NEBRASKAN EDITORIALS This Safely Business The Daily Nebraskan's co-operation in the Cru sade For Safety has been criticized. Persons, both faculty members and students, have expressed the opinion that such a campaign is foolish and beneath the dignity of a collegiate newspaper. Opposition to the Nebraskan support of the campaign is finally resolved to the question, "What do you think The Daily Nebraskan can ac complish by requesting that students and faculty sign a piece of paper stating that the signator will abide by the common-sense rules of safety?'' Let's follow the Nebraskan's reasoning. 1. The largest portion of automobile accidents are caused by human failings misjudgment and carelessness. 2. Since human. life is implacable, any efforts to make people more conscious of safety, thus lessening the number of highway fatalities, is commendable even if- but one life is saved. Is there any argument on these points? tention. In the first place, any one who has taken the time to be critical or find fault with the cam paign has, in fact, become influenced by it That person is "safety conscious," and in discussing safety, he is so making other people "safety con scious." The influence is subtle and perhaps un recognized by the individual, but nevertheless is present The purpose of the Daily Nebraskan is to jnake people "safety conscious." For that reason criticism is invited. However, the second point, which is often overlooked by both professional and amateur critics, deals with the nature of the criticism. Few people would argue that the ends in a safety cam paign are not worthwhile, it is with the method of reaching those ends that most critics find their WORLD REPORT PAUL MEANS SUff Writer TODAY'S HEADLINES ...

I It Seems To Me By GLENN ROSENQUIST Staff Writer I have actually eavesdropped on house treasurers who say: "Yes, we had a good month last month. Collected $55 dollars in fines." Fines, fines, fines for breaking rules, rules, rules. You leave the light in your room on when you go to Dirty Earl's. You are fined one dollar. You miss chapter meeting. You are fined one dollar. You use an ax to get into your room because you are locked out You are fined one dollar. You smoke in the par lor. You forget to sign out for meals. You take the Sunday pa pers up to your room. You are also fined one dollar.' Don't you ever get tired of this fining business? It has probably existed since time began or at least since the founding of the first Greek house. Let us turn the clock back 51 vears. We walk into the Upsilon Sigma Upsilon (Upsy sigs for short). Here we meet the Upsy rSig treasurer. He curls his mus tache and tells us: "Yes, we had a good month last month. Collected $55 dollars in fines." Five brothers fined for missing chapter meeting. Two brothers fined for not taking saddles off their horses after class. Mary Jones of the Pi Omega house fined for attending gym class without a chaperon. And now when I hear thv, some sororities are fining' up to $5 dollars if members did not vote in yesterday's elections, I begin to wonder. Speaking of elections.

A year ago at this time, The Nebraskan bad hopes Oat the Interfraternity Council would aid the Greeks at the University in replacing the ob solete Hell Weeks with Help Weeks but at the close of all initiations, only six fraternities found time for such project'' as collecting toys for or phanages, cleaning camp sites and redecorating homes badly in need of repair all worthy of praise. However, 23 Greek groups seemed to find time to carry out their Hell Weeks. Last year the Nebraskan also praised the mem bers of Theta XL, Sigma Nu, and Farm House for donating services to the Cedar Home for Children and Camp Min-Is-Kuya. Sigma Chi was congrat ulated for collecting toys and Phi Delta Theta was recognized for repairing a run-down Lincoln home. But have these efforts infiltrated through into the others to make it a yearly project or were these just ranked as publicity stunts? To date, The Nebraskan has only been able to discover one group with a worthy project in mind donating blood to the Red Cross. We hope that they carry this excellent idea through. If those who practice Hell Weeks would realize the harm done not only to their groups, but to the University by outsiders who view their actions! . . . i Ann i .u,,, r liit For. in the 10 journalism' amps he collected while in own segregation laws." he said.
