Eight Girls Diet
. . . Love Hall Octet Loses Weight
By Sharon Stevens
So you've gained a little
weight since school started?
Maybe you have been deter
mined to do something about
it but haven't had much luck.
Eight girls at Love Memor
ial Hall found themselves in
this situation and decided to
get together and do some
thing about it this semester.
Diet Unit
At Love Hall food is pre
pared and served in units for
six or eight girls. This semes
ter the girls have started an
eight-girl diet unit with the
co-ODeration of the foods re-1
scarch department at tne col
lege of Agriculture.
These girls have found that
dieting is much easier when
it is done in a group. Being
part of a research project al
so provides motivation for
sticking to the diet.
It is hoped that the average

Inspected
By ACE J
Council Will Decide
Accreditation Rate
An inspection to determine
if the University's Journalism
S tiool will meet require
ments for the renewal of its
accreditation is being con
ducted this week.
A four-man inspection team
representing' the American
Council on Education for
Journalism, is meeting infor
mally with groups of senior
and junior students, visiting
classes and faculty.
The report of the inspection
team will be submitted to the
ACEJ and reviewed at its an
nual spring meeting, held
"normally in May," accord
ing to Dr. William Hall, di
rector of the School of Jour
nalism. Schools, or programs, are
accredited for a five-year pe
riod and must be reviewed
before accreditation is re
newed. According to the School
catalogue, "Accreditation is
a guarantee to the student
that the school's program
meets high professional
standards. It is awarded only
to those insitutions whose fac
ulty, program and facilities
meet the exacting require
ments of an investigative
committee composed of spe
cialists from journalism and
education."
Five other schools will also
be examined this year. This
includes Iowa University,
Texas University, Kansas
University, New Mexico Uni
versity and Colorado Univer
sity. The University J-School is
one of approximately 45 insti
tutions accredited by the
ACEJ.
loss will be two pounds a
week. Several of the girls lost
three pounds the first week of
the diet. When one of them
reaches her desired weight,
her diet will be adjusted to
keep her at that weight.
Little Menn Trouble
Residents of Love Hall pre
pare their own meals on a
co-operative basis and cooks
in the diet unit say that they
haven't had much trouble in
planning menus with variety
or in getting the necessary
nutrients. They say that diet
meals are even easier to pre-
pare than normal meals be-
cause they do not have to do
any baking.

The University Dames will
meet Thursday night at 7:30
in the Student Union.
Prizes will be given to the
member that brings the most
guests. The prizes include two
steak dinners and two tickets
to the Stuart Theatre.
The substitutions will be

institutions and political de
velopment. Col. Rawie said that the
advanced Army students still
will have to take a one-hour-a-week
laboratory during the
entire advanced course.
He said that the basic
course in Army ROTC is not
affected by the revision. How
ever, he explained, the basic
course will be revitalized by
elimination of a weapons in
struction course and the sub
stitution of a course on basic
tactics.
The number of hours of
American military history
will be increased, with a de
crease in individual weapons
and marksmanship instruc
tion, he added.
The Navy ROTC program
will remain unchanged. This
past year, the Navy has al
lowed the substitution of psy
chology 70, taught by Uni
versity personnel, for an ad
vanced Air-Force taught sub
ject. Col. Atwell said the enroll
ment in the basic air science
course will be limited to 550
freshman students and he ex
pects the revision of the basic
course will allow the Air
ROTC to cut its instruction
personnel by two instructors
beginning in the fall of 1961.
The revision is expected to
affect about 900 freshmen
and sophomores enrolled
yearlv in the basic air sci-
to the poetry contest.
Prizes for the Prairie
Schooner Fiction contest are
$50, first place; $30 second
place; and S20 third place. The
