AUF Plans
Annual Poll
Of Charities
The All University Fund will
conduct its annual charity poll
starting March 2 and continuing
through March 9, Andy Smith, AUF
president, announced Tuesday.
The poll will include the names
and descriptions of all charities
desiring AUF support and will be
printed on sheets so that students
may mark their preference of
charities which they would like
AUF to support in the coming year,
The sheet will be distributed to
organized houses and a special
booth will be operated in the
Union lobby for students who are
not contacted. Plans are being
made to have a booth located on
Ag campus.
The AUF Board will tabulate the
results and consider them care-
fully when the decision is made
as to what charities will be sup
ported, although we will try to
achieve a balance between local,
national, international and health
organizations," Smith said.
Charities whech have contacted
AUF and whose names will be on
the final ballot include Cancer
Society, American Hearing Society,
World University Service, Lincoln
Community Chest, National Society
for Crippled Children and Adults,
American Heart Association, Amer
ican Friends Service Association,
National Association for Mental
Health, National Multiple Sclerosis
Society, National Society for the
Prevention of Blindness, Near East
Foundation, Japanese Internation
al Christian University Foundation
and the University Foundation.
Groups which haven't been heard
from as of yet, but who will
probably be listed on the poll in
clude the National Urban League,
Cerebral Palsy and the Lancaster
Association for the Mentally Re
tarded. The National Association for
Mental Health, Cancer, WUS and
the Lincoln Community Chest re
ceived support from this year's
AUF drive. The American Heart

ago.

rior ratings.
It Happened At NU
The class was a discussion
group in advertising problems
scheduled until 11:15.
The bell rang to signal the end
of 10 o'clock classes, and the
usual uproar in the hall indicated
students were migrating to their
next class. That day, however,
there was an unusual number
who were confused or curious.
The first time a student opened
the door and started to walk into
the class, it was funny. The sec.
ond time, it was even funnier.
But the third time ,the instructor
locked the door to prevent fur
ther interruptions.
The class and instructor smiled
with satisfaction when someone
tried the door knob and couldn't
enter. It was rather a shock,
therefore, when a few minutes
lai?r the door was opened and
another instructor walked into
the room. Finding the door
locked, he had gone to the main
office for a key!
About the on!y remedy to the
problem seems to be a sign on
the door requesting, "Do Not
Disturb Sleeping." .

The main difference between British and American foreign policy
is expected to be brought into the open at the Southeast Asia Defense
Treaty conference opening Wednesday in Bangkok, Thailand.
The two countries have sent to the conference then top foreign
representatives, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and tsntisn
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. The primary difference of opinion
expected is over the best methods of settling the Formosa crisis, the
British wanting to pressure the Nationalists into giving up more
offshore islands in the hopes of satisfying the Chinese Reds. Australia
and the Philippines are expected to give strong support to the U.S.
position of "no more retreat in Asia."
Radiation May Shorten Lives
A nrtRKihl "statistical shortening of life expectancy" was reported
to a Senate subcommittee studying the effects of atomic and hydrogen
bombs. Dr. John C. Bugher, head of the Atomic energy wmmi'aion s
biological and medical section, told the Armed Services Subcom
mittee "a general acceleration ot the aging process is a posaime
effect of radiation exposure."
Ike May Fight Tax Cut
Reoublican leaders in both houses of Congress hinted President
Eisenhower may throw his influence against a. tax-reduction bill sent
to the floor in the House of Representatives. The suggestion brought
up the possibility that Eisenhower might make a national radio-tele
vision sDeech aeainst a tax cui.
The Democratic sponsored bill would give every tax payer a $20
cut and an additional $20 for each dependent. The cut would cost the
government more than two billion dollars in 1956.
Matusow Admits False Teestimony
Harvey Matusow, who has acknowledged he gave false testimony
about Communist activities to Congressional investigators, also impli
cated the testimony of Elizabeth Bentley. Miss Bentley has been a
key government witness in investigations and trials involving charges
of Conununist espionage in the United States. Despite his admitted
lying under oath, Matusow claims that his lawyers have advised him
the government would find it difficult to convict him of perjury.
Nationalists Attack Taishans
Nationalist Chinese planes attacked a buildup of Red Chinese
forces on. the Taishan Islands for the fifth straight day. The buildup
threatens the Nationalist northernmost stronghold on Nanchishan, 120
miles north of Formosa.
Senate Schedules Pay Vote
The Senate has scheduled a vote on the proposed $7,500 pay hike
for Congressmen for Wednesday. Agreement to vote on the issue came

the issue.
