'To Build Greater University' Moffo Of University Builders "To build a greater university is the motto of the University of Nebraska Builders. Builders is more than ten years old and is one of the largest organizations on the campus. Enthusiasm for the University of Kebraska is radiated by the Build ers' members who assist visitors to the campus and welcome new stu dents. Builders deal largely in public relations and in giving in formation to high school students. To help achieve this goal the Builders put out two publications which are sent to the high school seniors in Nebraska. One of these publications is First Glance. This illustrated magazine shows student life and activities on the Nebraska campus. ' First Glance has a circulation of over 2,000. This year it is edited by Cynthia Zschau of Omaha. It is sent to students to give them a real perspective of the University of Nebraska campus. All high school seniors who plan to attend the . University receive this Special Edition of the campus newspaper, the Nebraskan. The j Daily Nebraskan is more com monly known on tne campus as the '-R.3g." The Special Edition is published by the members of Builders and is, therefore, not ac tually connected with the Ne braskan. Special Edition editor is Phyllis Williamson from Lincoln. She and her two assistants h3ve done much headline counting arid copy juggl ing to bring you this newspaper. It is designed to give you a first hand look at the University of Nebraska and at Lincoln. Another publication of Builders is the Husker Handbook. This originally began as the University Student Foundation.- The handbook committee is beaded by Marrianne Thygeson of Nebraska City. It is distributed during New Student Week to all freshmen and new students. Under the direction of committee chairman Gordon Warner of E rick son, the Builders publish the Calendar. This booklet serves stu dents as an appointment, date, and Make ROBINSONS APPAREL 1123 O Su Your Shopping Headquarters Romano's Pizza Drive-ln 226 No. 10th St. Phone 2-5981 Free Delivery 21 Variety Pizza Pies 75c-$1.00-$1.50-$2.0D Tomato 5 Cheese-Sausage-Pepperoni-Onion Hamburger-MusJ-iroom-Anchovie-Gcalic-Salorrii Boiled Egg-Roast Beef-Bar B Que Beef-Ham Green Pepper-Pork Sausage-Sauer Kraut Green OJives-Ripe Olives-Tuna-Salmon-Sruimp WE CATER TO PARTIES OPEN: EVERYDAY 4:00 P.M-1 A.M. reminder book.

Last year University students gave over $10,000 through All Uni versity Fund, the campus . charity organization, to hundreds of peo ple they will probably never meet. Some of these people are stu dents in other parts of the world, others are retarded children and some are victims of dread diseases such as cancer and multiple sclero sis. Cornhusker students donated ap proximately $1.25 per person to five charities during the AUF drive held each year on the three University campuses the Lincoln city campus, the agricultural cam pus and the Omaha medical cam pus. All University Fund promotes, organizes and administers all soli citations of money for -charity from the student body and faculty. It is the only organization on the campus permitted to solicit such funds from students. One international charity, three national charities and one local charity will support the AUF fall drive this year to be held Nov. 5 through Nov. 19. The five charities are World Uni versity Service, the American Heart Association, the National As sociation for Mental Health, the National Multiple Sclerosis So ciety and the Lancaster Associa tion for Retarded Children. Charities to receive funds are chosen on the basis of a student poll taken each spring. The agen cies are investigated and approved by the Better Business Bureau and the Naonal Community Chest of fice. World ITiiversity Service, which will receive 25 per cent of the j amount collected, helps needy uiti-1 versity students throughout the j world. For the past three years AUF has been the largest single contributor to WUS among mid western universities. Mental Health, Heart and Mul tiple Sclerosis will each receive 20 per cent of the donations while LARC School will receive 10 per cent. The remaining fiwe per cent still be used for emergency aid and AUF expenses. AUF begins its drive in the fall with a mass solicitation of stu dents in which approximately 300 student volunteer workrs par ticipate. The drive continues with the AUF Auction in December and the solicitation of faculty members in the spring. AUF Sells Pledge Classes, Faculty Auctioning of sorority fraternity pledge classes, beauty queens and faculty members are the feature events of the -All University Fund Auction he'd each year in Decem ber. All proceeds f: om the auction are put into the AUF drive fund and are divided accordingly among the five charities which the or ganization is supporting. A recording-breaking total of $3, 062 was collected at the auction last year which helped bring total AUF contributions to over "10, 000." The auction money supple ments the amount collected daring the Fall Drive and Faculty Drive. After the auction the pledge classes plan a function together which may be an hour dance, pic ric or even a work session. Last year several of the pledge classes planned service projects together such as painting a community cen ter or helping a needy family. Wash 20c Dry 10c .
