Architectural Students Speak:
Plow Up Asphalt, Plant
By Marilyn Coffey
Staff Writer
"Plow up the asphalt and
plant the seeds of culture,"
answered Eugene H. Wright
and Marvin Vanek, gradu
ating seniors in the depart
ment of architecture when
asked how they visualized
an ideal c a m p u s for the
University.
Garden City Asked
"Create a garden city.
Make Lincoln known as the
University city. Replace the
asphalt of the street with
the green grass of malls,"
they suggested.
"Ponds and fountains,
grassy malls and paved
plazas" could be integrated
into the campus.
The seniors took a break
from their work, designing a
heating central, and ex
pounded on some of the long
range planning that they
would like to see.
Transitional Area .
"Around the edge of ev
ery city center is a blighted
area, which in the case of

Workshop sessions wind up
two days of discussions by

A mystery tall-short race
has been added to the events

Problems
Major problems confronting
the fraternity system were
discussed yesterday by a pan
el of 13 fraternity men in an
IFC workshop.
Zeke Niebaum and Ken
Peterson presided over the
panel. Seven fraternities were
represented.
Discussed were:
1) Better handling of dis
ciplinary problems
2) Counteracting apathy
3) Degree of aid from na
tional offices
4) Responsibility of the
pledge trainer as "go-between"
5) The proposal to put
"health week" on a construc
tive basis rather than a pun
ishment basis
Two other IFC workshops
are scheduled for today and
tomorrow.

There will be 2 o'clock

permission.
Lincoln, lies between the ur
ban center of O St. and the
city campus which begins at
R St.
"The campus and urban
area, rather than being op
posed to each other, could
be juxtaposed.
"A transitional area could
be created between the cam
pus and the city center
where the blighted area now
lies. This area could be a
cultural center including art
museums and a music hall."
"Tear down with a plan
in mind; recreate with a
plan in mind," they empha
sized. Asphalt Jungle
Pointing out the differ

they noted that the campus

No Raffle Snafu
At San Fran U.
A car was raffled away
at the University of San
Francisco last week.
Was it illegal?
Did the contest have to
be changed?
Did car dealers petition?
Nooope ! ! !
In fact the school's stu
dent legislature decided up
on an unique means of
boosting raffle ticket sales.
All parking tickets delin
quent since the beginning of
the semester could be paid
for by simply buying tick
ets on a scholarship fund
raffle.
The students paying their
fines by buying tickets
would receive receipts certi
fying the payment of their
parking tariff.
ences in planning is easily
seen. Associated with the
campus is a "relaxed, in
formal atmosphere" for the
most part while the city
area was described by them
as an "asphalt jungle."
"Proper planning," they
emphasized, "could create a
harmonious relationship be
tween city and campus.
"Turn a bad thing into a
good thing."
A buffer zone of greenery
planted around the per
iphery of the campus would
soften the transition in the
north and western area
from the campus to the in
dustries located there.
Aesthetic Values
Garbage cans, telephone
booths, street lights ad util
ities should be redesigned to
maintain the homogenious
atmosphere obtained by the
elimination of cars and the
creation of the "garde n
city."
Asked about the cost of
such a plan, Wright replied:
Beck Ruling
Regents Authority
Attorney General Squelches
Present North Platte Plan
In an opinion requested by
Chancellor Clifford Hardin,
Atty. Gen. C. S. Beck, ruled
that the Board of Regents of
the University does not have
the authority to establish a
branch of the University out
side Lincoln.
Such authority would have
to be granted by the Legisla
ture, the opinion stated.
Beck further stipulated that
the Board does not now have
the power to enter into and
carry out the proposed agree
ment with the Board of Edu
cation of North Platte.

Schedules
Available
Printing Process
Causes Delay
Enough schedules for fall
classes are now available at
the administration building
for all interested students, ac
cording to Mrs. Irma Laase,
assistant registrar.
The first shipment of sched
ules arrived Monday morning
and were immediately mailed
out to departments and ad
visors. 10,000 Schedules
"Ten thousand schedules
were ordered for April 28"
said Mrs. Laase.
The schedules available to
students didn't arrive until
Tuesday morning. They were
gone within two hours.
A second shipment was im
mediately ordered.
The process the booklet
must go through before the
student receives it was given
as the reason for the delay.
Extra Delay
Departments were to have
submitted their schedules by
April 7, however the
difficulties as to new staff
members and departmental
budgets caused many depart
ments to go over the dead
line. The printers had to make
up proofs which were sent to
each department. Before the
final printing was completed,
three proofs were made up
and corrected.
After that, the pages had
to be cut and stapled.
Schedules have been sent
to Ag college and the college
of business administration to
make obtaining them easier
for the students.
Culture!
"At first glance, space
cost relationships would in
deed seem exorbitant, but
when the aesthetic values of
such an improvement are
weighed, the expense seems
relatively less."
"An actual increase in the
aveilability of space is pos
sible," pointed out Vanek,
"with the erection of build
ings. Long Range Planning
"A building which stands
on columns or stilts will oc
cupy no space whatsoever.
The acutal amount of space
will double there will be
room for patios underneath
and roof gardens on top."
Wright and Vanek agreed
long range planning is
necessary to accomplish a
goal like theirs.
Such a project requires
foresight on the part of the
Board of Regents and busi
nessmen plus education of
the public.
"In the meantime, we'll go
back to designing heating
centrals 1" they concluded.
ment on the matter would be
made by University officials
until after the May 15 Re
gents meeting.
He said, however, that he
did not know whether or not
the Board would discuss the
reversal at this meeting or at
any other future meeting.
Certainly it would not con
stitute a major item on the
agenda, he said.

Limits
ftf AY 7
the 29 off-campus University
extension courses are given at
North Platte.
A program was proposed
after a series of discussions
whereby the University would
assign five full-time resident
instructors the first year and
from 10 to 15 the second to
North Platte.
North Platte residents would
provide both the building and
the custodial care.
Academic freshman courses
would have made up the cur
riculum at the first center in
the state.
The students would be en
rollees at the University with
no transfer required if they
elected to continue their ed
ucation here.
The present policy of hav
ing the off-campus instruction
pay its own way would have
continued.
More Education
"The plan, if it were to be
worked out, would mean pro
viding more educational op
portunities for high school
graduates," the Chancellor
said.
The Beck opinion, squelch
ing present hopes, at least for
establishing the center, held
that the Board of Regents is
"but a mere governmental
agency expressly subjected by
the constitution to the will of
the legislature."
The opinion pointed out that
the board has control over
University installations out
side of Lincoln, such as the
medical school in Omaha, but
that the branches were estab
lished by the Legislature.
