Judge Biggs will speak on a subject he has a first hand knowledge of, "The Guilty Mind: Psychiatry and the Law of Homicide." Author of several law and fiction books, he is best known for his book "The Guilty Mind" published in 1955. His efforts gained him the Issac Ray award given each year for the best con tribution for improvement of relations between law and psychiatry. He told Professor Henry Grether of the Law College by long distance telephone call that he plans to empha size his talk by using th "law of Durham," referring to the famous the United States versus Durham case. This was the first case in the history of the United States that laid the ground work for the insanity test in a court trial, Prof. Grether explained. Besides being one of the top judges in the U.S. and in the third judicial circuit en compassing Pennsylvania, Naw Jersey, Delaware, Mar yland and the Virgin Islands, Biggs is noted for his writ ten opinions on judicial cases across the U.S., Prof. Greth er said. Judge Biggs is also known for his work as chairman on several federal judicial com mittees including the commit tees on courts of administra tion and judicial statistics. Prof. Grether added that Judge Biggs returned from a world-wide tour a year ago. While on this tour, Judge Biggs conferred with several leading judges and leaders in the field of law. Judge Biggs is scheduled to arrive in Lincoln Saturday morning, by plane.

Twenty-two Pan-American self-governing countries will attend the meeting. Each country has a spokesman who casts his country's vote in legal matters.

More than 12,000 delegates attended the Washington, D.C. meeting in 1957. More than half of the delegates were from the South Ameri can countries. Even Larger ' Dr. Burt indicated that he ex pected an even larger num ber this year because "San tiago is more or less cen Itally located." He reportea that there was no damage from the recent earthquakes in Chile. "The United States delega tion will be made up of 50-60 representatives, including delegates from the govern mental agencies such as the army, navy, air force and health and welfare depart ment," said Dr. Burt. At the last meeting Dr. Burt was selected to head the U.S. delegation after Dr. Rob ert A.

Three languages, Spanish, English, and Portuguese", will will be spoke at the upcom ing Chile convention. Dr. Vicor M. Cereceda, vice-president of the Federa tion, will head-the Organizing Committee and, according to tradition, will be elected next Federation president. Host County In the past the head of the host country s delegation has always been selected as president. Dr. Cerededa is the president of the College of Pharmacists in Chile. When questioned about pos sible trouble due to the- re cent crisis in Cuba Dr. Burt singled out Dr. Hector Zayas Bazan y Perdomo of Havana, the head delegate from Cuba, as an organizer in the Pan American movement and doubted if there would be any trouble. This will be the second Pan-American meeting for Dr. Burt. He also attended the International Pharmaceu tical Organization (FIP) Con ference in Brussels, Belgium, in 1958. Dean and Mrs. Burt will be accompanied by a small group of pharmacists on their trip, sponsored jointly by the Nebraska Pharmaceutical Association and the Lincoln Travel Bureau.

There was some difficulty in selecting the Huskerettes, as the judges felt the best appearing group would be about the same height. The Lincoln, Nebraska Additional campus housing may be in the offing for Uni versity students. This action would come as a result of present crowded conditions according to ad ministrative officials. Increased enrollment fig ures and capacity-f i 1 1 e d dorms have prompted de tailed studies of future hous ing potential, explained Di rector of University Services, William C. Harper. At present, the Women's Residence Halls house 531 students with an additional 88 coeds living in the newly created women's section of Burr Hall. "The first step is the study of enrollment figures to de termine whether or not the city of Lincoln can absorb this overflow trend of student population," said Harper.

Lincoln's population ratio in comparison to the student en rollment figure is much great er than that of a majority of surrounding colleges indicat ing that a much greater pro portion may be absorbed in off-campus living facilities, Harper noted. "The chief problem will be financing a building project once the initial need for hous ing has been definitely estab lished," Harper continued.

Wednesday, October 5, 1960 ernment financing of such ft project. Government financing is not considered desirable for stu dent housing because it would show discrimination against students living off campus, according to Uni versity Business Manager Carl Donaldson. "This method of private fi nancing makes it imperative that we budget the money carefully. Td accomplish this, we prefer to lag behind with housing facilities rather than to overbuild," Harper said. Gifts Doubtful "Advance building pro grams which were utilized to only 80 per cent of capacity would prevent us from meet ing the committments set by the Board of Regents," he ex plained. Harper feels there is little probability of receiving gifts to finance such a program at the1 present time. An alternate method of rais ing funds by increasing the cost of board and room might be feasible, but could also backfire if students chose to attend other colleges as a re sult, Harper commented. The new housing may be one of three types depending on the results of the study. A 11 girls' dorm, all boys' do or a co-ed dorm similar to iurr Hall might be built, Harper said. . Men's Housing Any new men's housing would be located on the east side of 17th St. from R to Vine. Possible sites for new women's housing are the west side of 17th St. between R and Vine and the corner lots of 16th and R St. Kennedy Sends YD's Telegram Democratic presid e n ti a 1 candidate John Kennedy sent the following telegram which was read to those attending the Young Democrat mem bership meeting last night.
