tion at the institution where
he was going to school, ac
cording to Hallgren.
Conduct probation is
given to a student for "dis
playing unacceptable indi
vidual conduct at the Uni
versity," Hallgren noted.
This probation restricts a
student from participating
in any extra-curricular ac
tivities. -Such a mandate
comes from Dean J. P.
Colbert and usually is rec
ommended by the Student
University. Hallgren ex
He said this type of pro
bation is also used instead
of dismissal of a student,
after he , has previously
been on probation and
again gets into difficulty.
Hallgren said indefinite
probation "is possible", but
that a person may be taken
off probation when he
"meets certain require
ments." "But," Hallgren said,
"these requirements are
not specific."
The only time probation
The different types of
student and organizational
probation and their defini
tions were explained Friday
' by Dean Frank Hallgren of
the office of Student Af
fairs. His explanation resulted
from the confusion ex
pressed by students as to
the different probations and
what they specifically
mean.
Hallgren explained that
there are only two individ
ual probations scholar
ship and conduct.
An individual may be
placed on scholarship pro
bation for failure to main

record is during the time of
the probation except in
cases when n student is dis
missed from the University.
These records cannot be
shown to anyone while the
student is on probation with
out his consent, Hallgren
noted. 1
He added that there is no
indication on a student's
final record of his having
been oi conduct or scholar

for any one semester or for
his accumulated average;
for failure to pass 12 credit
hours in any semester or
- for failure to advance to the
college, of their choice after
completing two semesters
at th University.
He added that a student
may also be placed cn
scholarship probation for
failure to meet special re
quirements or complete spe
cial courses of a college.
Prior to Admission
A student may be placed
on scholarship probation
prior to his admission to
the Universl'y if he did not
take certain courses in high
Tribunal after they have
met with the student in
question, Hallgren said.
Any Organization
Activities and social
probation may be placed on
any organizations including
"not only living houses but.
all student organizations,"
he said.
These probations result
after an organization vio
lates a social regulation
which restricts activities
and organizations of the
plained.
Although most all proba
tions have definite time
periods relating to both stu- ,
dents and organizations,
there is the "very unusual"
indefinite probation, accord
ing to Hallgren.
An example of indefinite
pro could be when a stu
dent enters the University
and is already on probation.
He, Hallgren said, could
be given indefinite proba

The University will receive

The office of the Univer
lity Business Manager an
nounced that a construction
date has not been set, but
building is expected to be

The art gallery will be a
two story building con
structed on a podium with
an approximate height of 55
feet. It will be built of con
crete covered with a light
colored stone called traven-
tine.
Phillin Jnhnsnn. New YaHc
architect and designer of the
Sheldon Gallery, said, "This
is, by far, the best building
I nave ever designed."
Johnson has also designed
such buildings as the Museum
of Modern Art Annex and
Sculpture Court and the Glass
House in New York City,
Funds From Estate
The gallery, which is being
paid for by the Sheldon es
tate, has been alluded to as
"the most expensive building
tver -constructed in this part
of the country," by qualified
people.
It will be se constructed as

In addition to the (gallery,
another building will 'be con

architectual harmony with
the new Sheldon Gallery to
provide increased classrooms,
studios and faculty offices for
the art department.
Woods Donor
Although a final name has
not been chosen, this build
ing will bear the name of its
donor, Nelle Cochrane Woods,
pioneer worker in the Ne
braska Art Association. The
Woods Charitable Fund, Inc.,
donated the $250,000 for its
construction.
Additional construe t i n
costs for the Woods building,
which will have a minimum
space of 20,000 square feet,
will be financed through the
University's share of the state
institutional building levy, ac
cording to a report made be
fore the Board of Regents
last year by Chancellor Clif
ford Hardin.
In the same report, Dr.
Hardin said that there were
no additional buildings

Deadline for applications

The reason for the ex

when only three students

original period set aside,
according to Neil.
Six students will be se

Sunday, Jan. 8, for the com

the Student Council the fol

Permanent
Parking Back
In Elgin Lot
Parking in the Elgin lot,
near Nebraska Hall, has been
reverted back to permanent
parking (Area 2), according
to James Pittenger, assistant
to the Chancellor.
"We have been checking
the use of the Elgin lot every
hour for the past ten days
in an effort to determine
whether it is actually needed
and would be used for gener
al parking.
"To date the use of
this large parking area for
general parking has not been
sufficient to justify our deny
ing its use to holders of Area
2 permits," be explained.
Last week Pittenger, after
meeting with the RAM coun
cil and the parking commit
tee of Student Council decid
ed to, with the cooperation
of the University Police, lim
it the lot to daily traffic for
the period between Thanks
giving and Christmas va
cations. During this period ha
and the police would deter
mine if the temporary park
ers should have the lot for
their use.
Area 2 permit holders are
perm i ted to use the lot as of
Dec. 9, Pittenger said.
"This lot will remain avail
able for parking until aft
er spring vacation at which
time it is our intent to use it
again for ROTC drilL" he
noted.
Pittenger said that the use
of this area will be reviewed
again with the RAM Council
and the Student Council be
fore the 4951-62 school year.
