LIBRARY MAR 2,196 Ihci A TO Pledges I Plan Omflfia -tiffla h ii w i r fYw i y m i m 'Crusade Run ' The Alpha Tau Omega pledge class is going to run to Omaha. Saturday morning the 27 pledges will make the near-60 mile trip as the last leg of a project designed to raise money for the "Crusade for Freedom." $5 Tickets First the pledges will contact each ATO alumnus in the Lincoln-Omaha area with the objective of selling $5 tickets to a dinner to be held Friday night at the Cornhusker Hotel. The dinner menu, inscribed "Behind the Iron Curtain," was chosen to remind the alumni as citizens of the auster ity of life there. The banquet will include baked beans, weiners and po tato chips which will be donated by various companies. Saturday morning will find the pledges "walking" the collected money in relay style to Omaha for delivery to Allen MacTier, state chairman of the "Crusade for Free dom." A luncheon at the Hotel Blackstone has been arranged for the students when the relay runners arrive in Omaha. Hungarian Refugee Edmund I. Lazar, a graduate student at the University and a Hungarian refugee, will be a guest at the Friday night dinner. The son of the one-time Minister of Justice in Hungary, Lazar escaped from behind the Iron Curtain in 1950 and worked on a voluntary basis for Radio Free Europe, which is supported by the Crusade for Freedom, from 1951-56. Among other guests will be Chancellor Clifford Hardin who has recently been appointed to the Crusade's state committee. This project was initiated primarily because the ATO pledge class could not win their own "Help Week" trophy. 'Help Week' Just this year the Nebraska ATO collegiate chapter was given a "Help Week" trophy by alumni in turn to be presented to some other college fraternity at the Univer sity for the best "Help Week" project. The Nebraska "Help Week" trophy is not a new thing, however. The switch from "Hell Week" to "Help" was made several years ago by the fraternity and many other of the fraternity college chapters offer a trophy similar to that here at the University.

Mrs. Becker said, "We had a big day today, (Tues day), there were 76 here for luncheon." "Another important func tion of the Faculty Gub is to provide a social gather ing place for the faculty which helps the faculty to become better acquaint ed," said Prof. Stanley T. Vandersall, member of the club. The Faculty Club was originally organized in 1955 at the Student Union and was mainly for social pur poses. Closer Contacts According to VandersaH, the faculty felt the need for closer contacts, especially in various areas of the fac ulty where many of the faculty do not have the op portunity to meet each oth er. Vandersall said the house was ideal for the present setup. Before being taken over by the faculty it served as the International House. Prior to this, it served as the Phi Mu soror ity house. The club has a few ban quets each year. However, it does not emphasize social life except for the friendly chats among the faculty, says Vandersall Ag Members The Faculty Club has members from both city and Ag campuses.

Baldwin Directs The play is described by its director, Dr. Joseph Baldwin, as being a story of "poetic passion and power." Vliet, the playwrite, says that his play is a study of personal guilt, but that it touches upon and reflects the guilt of all of us. He con tinues, "guilt even for those things of which we are not guilty" such as, world wars and atomic bombs. The setting for "Rock spring" is a ranch near the Southwestern Texas town of that name. Lee Borah returns from the First World War, slowly dying of mustard gassed lungs and tortured by his guilty love for his young step-mother, Billie Borah. Their attempt to expiate the guilt and find a way to live or die with strength and dig nity is the theme of the play. Appearing as Billie Borah and Lee Borah, the ill-fated lovers, are Margery Coffee and Gary Parker. The own ers of a neighboring ranch are played by Grover Kautz and Jean Allyn. Luther Frost appears as Hench, Billie Borah's step-father.
