" All of the exterior walls of the Gallery will be sheathed with Italian travertine mar ble, a honey-colored stone chosen for its beauty and en durance. All of the marble is being quaried and cut to dimension in northern Italy. The slabs are numbered .at the quarry, and have only to be fitted to gether when they arrive in Lincoln. The gallery will be two stories high, with a full base ment, and will be 90 ft. x 180 ft. The grand hall will occupy the entire center third of the building on the first and sec ond floors. It will have a ceil ing more than 30 feet high, with, glass walls on either end. It will have an open stairway to the second floor, and will house the two me morial sculptures. The south third of the first floor will contain a 300 seat auditorium for lectures, con certs, and films.

Professor Finishes Half Of Interlingua Dictionary Dr. Merrill Hendrickson, a research associate at the University College of Medi cine in Omaha, announced that he is about halfway through the writing of a dic tionary for Interlingua an international language for science. Dr. Hendrickson expects to spend several more years, on the task. He said he has com pleted the list of some 40 thousand English words, matched to their correspond ing .Interlingua words. He is now compiling an in dex of the value of each word based on the number of lan guages and populations irom which it is derived. Dr. Hendrickson said the biggest advance in the. use of Interlingua came a year ago when the Journal' of . the American Medical ' Associa tion began publishing regular reprints of its articles in the new lanpage. Interlingua is now beta.", used similarly in a.-out 20 medical journals. Sunmaarles of International scientif ic meetings also Iiavs been written in Interlingua. Interlingua's advan tage over other international languages is that an exten sive background in languages is not required to read it, Dr. Hendrickson said.

Love Library Is Center For Microfilm Volumes By KAREN GUNLICKS If a student needed a 1792 copy of the Country Spectator, an old English book published in 1684 or a copy of the New York Times, where would he get them? No, not the British Museum, the Library of Congress . or the newspaper stands! He would go to the microfilm files in Love Library. A microfilm is a 35mm film on which an entire book or issue or other volume hasi been reproduced. In addition to the microfilms are micro prints and microcards. Microprint con sists of a page on which up to 107 Stages have been reproduced. A microcard s a 3"x5" card with various reproduc tions on it. When inserted in , a reader, the reproductions are magnified so the t studc.it may read the copy. The reels of film, when placed 'on a reader, are projected on the base of the reader. The film is manually rotated at any speed. . .. ' Another machine, a microcopier, will re print the material from the film onto paper if . the student desires. .. There are approximately 10,000 volumes Friday, Mafch 23, 1962 Dean Happy With Greek Women Sorority Average 'Real Achievement The high scholastic average of the sororities, which topped both the all women's average and the all-University av erage, was praised by Frank Hallgren, dean of men, to day as a "real achievement." The sorority average of 6.062 was called "very signifi cant." Six of 14 University soror ities ranked above the sorority average and nine ranked above the all women's av erage of 5.887. "No house or hall in Selleck quadrangle ranked below the all men's average (5.266) or the all fraternity average (5.244)," Halgreen said. "Fourty-five per cent of the men in Selleck are fresh men," he added. "This shows that the conclusion that fresh men pledges pull down the fraternity average simply be cause they are freshmen is false." , Comparing the fraternity average with the average of the pledge class, Hallgren noted "that if the fraternity average is poor, the pledge average is usually even low er." In three house records ex amined the pledges earned a higher average than the house as a whole, the house average was also high (above a 5.1) "Thus where pledges have done poorly, they have only followed the pattern of the house, which has also done poorly," the Dean concluded.

After graduation she worked as city editor, society editor, and columnist for the Fremont Evening Tribune.

IFC EXEC COUNCIL FINES HOUSE $400; INITIATION LOST By MIKE MACLEAN Alpha Gamme Rho frater nity has been fined $400 and lost its inititiation priviledges for an indefinite period of not less than four years because of illegal pre-inmation or "hell week" activities. In making the decision the executive council of the Inter- fraternity Council made the qualification that the chapter may hold initiation, provided that it complies with provi sions made by the IFC execu tive council in its decision on the case. AGR pledges were sent out after a dead rabbit during these activities, and stole and killed a six-year o 1 d boy's pet rabbit. The parts of the ,JFC constitution and by-laws that were violated pro hibit any "hell .week" activi ties outside of the actual fra ternity house and also pro hibit any action which would bring disgrace on the Univer sity. A resolution was introduced which read: WHEREAS: Recent events concerning pre-initiation ac tivities have determined a definite need for re-evaluation of pledge training and pre-initiation practices and, WHEREAS: Dean Eldon Park, Dean of Men at the University of Illinois, has been instrumen tal in the devising and ap plications of an effective and constructive new pledge training code at that University. THEREFORE: Be it resolved by the IFC, University of Nebras Summer Enrollment Increase Expected An increase of approximately 200 stu dents in the 1962 summer sessions is expected by University officials, bringing the total en rollment to 4,000.
