AAUW Will Honor
Senior Women
A tea honoring senior Uni
versity women will be given
Saturday by the Lincolii-ehap-ter
of the American Associa
tion of University Women.
The annual event will be
held at the Governor's Man
sion between 10 a.m. and 12
noon.
nounced that the .revision
would begin this fall, but upon
the urging of the Office of
the U.S. Secretary of De
fense it will be delayed.
Substitutions
The revision would have
been the substitution of some
academic courses for por
tions of the basic two-year
air science program. These
revisions would have been for
the first-semester freshmaifr
and the second-semester soph
omore.
The Army ROTC revisions
would be substitutions of sub
jects taught during one se
mester at the advanced junior-level.
The Office of the Secretary
of Defense notified the Uni
versity this week that it has
directed the Army and Air
Force to develop a uniform
program for basic courses.
"This cannot be accomplished
by the next academic year.
Meanwhile, it is hoped that
the present programs could
continue," it said.
Contact Hours
The delay is the result of
a variation' in the number
of military contact hours re
quired by the revised curri
cula within the basic course
of the Army and Air Force
ROTC.
In a telegram from the De
partment of the Army, they
state that since the Army-revised
ROTC basic course .will
require a greater number of
military contact hours than
that of the Air Force, there
may result "an inordinate
number of Air Force cadets
and an insufficient number of
Army cadets."
However, Chancellor Har
din said the revised advanced
Army ROTC program, sched
uled for the next fall, will
not be affected.

The Student Council

care of a turtle. The deci

the speech department and
Joseph Baldwin, director of
University Theater, appeared
before the Council to explain
the University Theater's dif
ficulty in avoiding conflicts in
scheduling with other Univer
sity activities.
Specific Problem
The specific problem they
presented to the Council was
that of scheduling tne first
University Theater production
of the 1960-61 school term
during Homecoming week
and Teacher's Convention.
Laase told the Council that
the University Theater was
an "academic lab in the field
of the theater" and it had an
obligation to serve students
and would like to have the
support of students in its pro
gram plans.
Baldwin explained that the
University Theater required
approximately five weeks to
produce a show. The particu
lar date the University The
ater is requesting, Oct. 26-29,
is the most convenient for
them since an earlier date
would conflict with the Kos
met Klub Fall Show and a

show too close to the second
production, which is scheduled
Dec. 14-17.
All other proposed produc
tion dates have been checked
with the Dean of Student Af
fairs and have been approved.
Heavy Rehearsel
Baldwin said that the heavy
rehearsel will be during the
week before ' Homecoming,
which would not tax the or
ganized houses and their ef
forts to build displays.
Laase told the Council tliat
there "should be a theatre
production for those alums
who come to Homecoming
and do not wish to go to
other activities during the
weekend."
He also said it had been
the policy of the University
Theater to hold a production
during the weekend of Teach
er's Convention and called
this production for the teach
ers a "positive cultural in
fluence." He further told the Council
that the University Theater
wished to avoid conflicts and
adverse publicity similar to
deadlines had to be extended
in the colleges of Engineer
ing and Business Administra
tion, but applications have
been filed so that a sufficient
number of applicants has
been reached and college rep
resentation in these colleges
will not have to be reduced.

Referred to Council
He told the Council that
Dean Colbert had referred
them to the Student Council
to receive a sample of stu
dent opinion on the conflict.
John Hoerner, IFC repre
sentative, pointed out that the
fraternities also staged a pro
duction during this period and
asked which production was
more important to the cam
pus. Ken Tempero, chairman of
the social committee, re
minded the Council that his
committee had recently made
a recommendation to Student
Affairs that no two Univer
sity productions which
charged admissions be al
lowed to schedule the same
date.
Tempero told the Council
that this recommendation had
been referred to a central
committee of the Faculty
Senate and would not be dealt
with until this fall.

Committee
Announces
Parking Plan
J. B. Fournier, chairman
of the Council Parking Board,
announced that Roy Neil's
sub-comirtittee for improve
ments on University parking
conditions had arrived at a
detailed plan for improving
parking,
Listed as improvements
were the paving of Selleck
parking lots, snow removal
from student parking lots
during winter months and
general reconditioning of
other student parking areas.
The plan is to be delivered
to the Council at the next
meeting but Fournier re
quested a sample of student
opinion concerning the pro
posed improvements since it
would require a boost in stu
dent parking fees from one
to five dollars per semester
to obtain the needed addi
tional revenue.
He stated that meters had
been considered for the Sel
leck lot to obtain the addi
tional revenue but-the idea
had been abandoned due to
the expense and cost burden
it would place on the stu
dents". Art Contest

of the scheduling and 13

Laase pointed out to the
