Pittenger said, "We re membered what happened last year when severe weath er forced University officials to find last minute sleeping accommodations for the iso lated hundreds in homes." He further commented, "As a result, one of the most thoroughly organized emer gency plans was geared this year with the help of many Lincolnites.

Preparation for the Moot Court (a moot question is one which can be argued from two sides) begins in the spring of each year for all freshman in the Law College. Non-Competition They are required to partic ipate in a non-competition round; which this year begins April 1, Langley explained. In the fall of their sopho more year, competition be gins, and eight teams are se lected for the quarterfinals, this year beginning April 18. At that time they will argue four problems, he said. Semifinal rounds are held in the fall of their junior year with the final arguments in the spring of the same year.

And although the magic words, "Operation Mattress" were not given impetus this time, University officials con- t """ft, W(Mlllti''WlWfflW '4 teams will be arguing in this year's finals, according to Prof. Richard Harnsbergeri faculty adviser to the council, is whether actions involving a child born out of wedlock are civil or criminal offenses. Langley noted that there may not necessarily be Ne braska law applicable to the problems argued. Often, he explained, similar cases have never been de cided in this jurisdiction. Rather than design the argu ment for presentation in a specific state, the term State of Allen is used, he added. "First Instance" The term for such cases is "cases of first instance," Langley said. Students are expected to prepare their arguments with background from other states, along with using equit able principle, he pointed out. Winners of the final round will have their names in scribed on a plaque. Langley explained that members of the council de velop moot problems for the arguments which are sub mitted to the faculty of the Law College, who in turn make suggestions for im provement and approve them. They are then given to the students who begin their re search. From 60 to 120 hours is usually spent preparing the case for argument. Freshmen argue in the court room of the college be fore three judges who are volunteers from the upper classmen. The judges express their opinions as to which side presented the better argu ment, along with construc tively criticizing the writing and content of the brief and presentation. Public May Attend Local attorneys are the judges for the competitive rounds, Langley said. All competition is open to the public. . He noted. that the Univer sity competition is not to be; confused with the national Moot Court for which a local team also is selected. . . Members of the council in clude Langley, who is chair man; Earl Witthoff, secretary-treasurer; and Jay- Sul livan, Chuck Wahl, Larry Mil ler, Larry Frazier, Blaine Rieke, Neil Stillinger and Jack Lewis. sider the planning and or ganization to be permanent, and the volunteer "minute men'' are expected to be ready in the future. Pittenger explained that the operation is not simply a University program, although the idea originated with a concerned administration. "We asked for the help of the Lincoln Chamber of Com merce including motels and hotels along with the many non-profit organizations in the city," he said. Commerce Plans The Chamber of Commerce added to the University plans by making these provisions Check the Lincoln hotehr and motels for available space. Notify the following staffs to make sleeping space avail able: Union, Selleck Quad rangle, the Naval Reserve Station, the men and wom en's P.E. buildings, the ath letic department's physical plant, the military science building, the Coliseum and the University High School. Other "minutemen" ready to serve as night supervisors included the Innocents Soci ety and the students of the Nebraska Human Resources Foundation under the direc tion of Dr. William E. Hall. "Operation Mattress," Is a plan with considerable changes over the University's former programs," Pittenger said. "We found that private homes do not work so well under extreme weather con ditions since it is hard for students to find the addresses in Lincoln, automobile travel can be nearly impossible, and we can aid in supervising the young people better if we keep them on or very close to the campus," he said. All of these can join in a more effective effort to make sure Nebraskans are' safely cared for should a serious storm in the Lincoln area oc cur, said Pittenger. ft 1 s, 1 n,'
