Search for Peace Exists
In Russia Says Historian
By BOB BESOM
"Do vou think well nave
a war?" a middle-age Rus
sian asked,
"No," replied Dr. Albin T.
Anderson.
"I hope so not for job or
I, but for my children," the
Russian concluded.
Thus, there is a search for
peace and expanded freedom
in the Soviet Union, com
mented Russian Historian Al
bin T. Anderson in the sec
ond of the Residence Associ
ation for Men's (RAM) "Co
educational Lecture Series
'62."
Three Aspects
But there are three aspects
of political thought to look
at, based on the different de
grees of experience the peo
ples have had with commu
nism, said Anderson.
"There are the older peo
ple, such as the one who
made the statement concern

The money has been set

one independent on the SCBC

Under the proposed change,
Article II, section E, of the
rushing rules would have
read:
"No room rushing shall be
done at any parties. All rush
ing is to be done in living
room areas. Koom rusning is
defined as singling out girls
away from the general party

Hotel Rooms
To be Used
For Housing
Negotiations are being
made with the .owners .of the
Capital Hotel ;(llth and P' for
use .of a part .of the hotel next
fall for University housing,
according to Dean of Facul
ties Adam Breckenridge.
"It is a reasonable presump
tion that the hotel facilities
controlled by the University
would be run under the 6ame
regulations as present Univer
sity dormitories,'" noted Dean
of Student Affairs J. P. Col-
ibert.
Colbert noted that no decis
ion had been made yet as to
whether men .or women or
both would be housed in the
Capital Hotel facilities.
The University ds investigat
ing this expansion .of Univer
sity housing, (Colbert said, "'in
order to tfJtid every suitable
place where University stu
dents can he housed ((near
campus).'"
As for applications from stu
dents for rooming in the hotel
facilities, Colbert said "'it is
too early" to receive them.
Each gill will be given a bucket and at
a signal wfll approach the animal of her
choice. At the .end of a ilhreeinute per

be completed in its proper sequence be

dividual sororities for dis
cussion within the houses.
These discussions will then
supplement the Panhellenic
rush committee's report as
the basis for final action on
May I.
The deferred decision on
defining "no room rush" Sid
limiting the rush area fal
lowed a heated floor debate
on how to handle problems
arising once Panhell had defi
nitely eliminated room rush.
Basement Rooms
"Does the proposed change
include basement recreation1
rooms in the general party!
area?" asked Vicky Cullen. i
Jean Carlson, who presented
to the group the proposed
changes, felt that it did,
Leah Jo Smith then noted
that "pressure rushing" would
still be possible, and sag
gested that the basic idea is
rather to "cut down on what
is said to a girL"
After Miss Cullen had pro
posed tbe amendment to de
fine the party area, Karen
Werner said that this would
""handicap some bouses in
rushing.
Miss Madeline Girard, Pan
hellenic adviser, cited the
"real" problem" as the fear
toat som sororii? girls would
. . tlrdi
x '
anyway possibly in t a e
basement.
Limited Rush Area
Ann Lemon noted that ml
the process of defining "ma
room rush" and limiting the
rush area, "we're just get
ting cold feet at the last min
ute," and called for She .ques
tion. The amendment was de
feated. When the discussion moved
to tbe suggested addition to
article YT, Leah Jo Smith
objected to voting because
"I can't vote on it until I
know what it means.'"
President Nancy McGath
then allowed each sorority a
half-minute to define ""room
rushing.'" Basically, two defi
nite opinions were stated:
isolating a rushee, us
ually with special rushers and
alumnae, to tell her in re,
individually, about the house;
taking a rushee apart
from the group solely to in
form ber better about the
house, and to find out more
aboil the rushee as an indi
vidual ((minority)).

By TOM KOTOUC
After an emotionally
charged debate, the Student
Council voted 19 to 10 not to
affiliate with the United
States National Student As
sociation (NSA).
By Council vote earlier in
March, the issue is dead, and
will not come to a vote of
the student body (as it would,
had it been passed in the af-i
firmative.)
Public Issues Chairman,
John Nolon, who introduced
tbe motion of affiliation of;
the University with NSA,!
spoke out against affiliation.!
"The Student Council must:
create a political atmosphere
on campus conducive to pub
lic issues and a strong ana
efficient student governing

affiliation with NSA. I
Need $800
"If we can get the some
$800 for affiliation with NSA,
let's back People-to-People to
create a permanent founda
tion for working with interna
tional students on campus."
Nolon asked if it were bet
ter to get students interested
in sit-in movements in tbe
South through NSA affiliation

first such student speakers
program.
According to Lyna Wright,
chairman of tbe speakers
commutes, This is possibly
one of the best ways to seD
the University to the people
of the state. It h reaOy amaz
ing to learn about what this
school has done and the na

tbe good points of this school
will stimulate a more positive
attitude."
The speeches culminate
months of preparation. Ap
proximately 15 Chambers of
Commerce in specific areas
of the state were contacted
earlier this year and asked
to send a list of service groups
in their respective areas.
From these lists several serv -

Ivy Day Ceremonies to Change

Ivy Day ceremonies wfll be toeld be

year instead f She traditional place.
This year, as last, the location had to
he changed because .of construction prog
ress. The ceremonies have been held at tbe
location nsrfh of the old Administration
building at 12tib and R Streets since the
ISSWs. Last year it was held a block west
at Uth snd S streets.
Ivy Day first was held 64 years ago in
189B. It was called ""senior play day."
Ivy Day New
Three years later the name was
changed to Ivy Day. The new name re
flected much f the (tradition of the event
The traditional ivy was planted by the
presidents of the junior and senior classes
during the ceremony. ,
The Innocents Society was founded an
1902. The thirteen mystics originally were
just a campus group to promote spirit.
Sixteei nenior women were chosen to
participate ia the May Pole dance, which
was replaced in 1805 by the order of the
Black Masone of Mortar Board.
In 1910 the Ivy-Oaity chain became a
part m" tbe Ivy Day tradition and two
the restrictions which limit
renting of houses in Lincoln,
which would be facilitated by
not filiating.
Conservative Position
"I realize my position is
conservative," he added,
"but being a conservative, I
believe it to be realistic."
"If we affiliate with NSA
now, it will flop and flop
big," he conclnded.
Council President Steve
Gage countered to speak in
favor of NSA affiliation: "The
campus is ready now, here,'
today for NSA affiliation." j
Guide Campus j
"This Student Council must
expect to do things itself con
cerning local issues, and use
the USNSA to guide the cam
pus in international affairs,"
said Gage.
" Without NSA, the Student
Council will continue to blun
der into areas which tbe
Council has had no experi
ence in and possesses no
background material on."
Gage pointed out that the
"NSA might give someone oh
this campus the stimulation
to get together with some of
tbe fine Negro men on this
campus and walk into the
Hob Nob and sit dowi until
thev serve both liquor and
food to everyone.'"
"The measure of this cam
pus to gain from and contrib
ute to NSA is found in the
ability of the Student Coun
cil leaders next year."

To Stop Hazing
By GARY LACEY
"Nebraska's fraterni
ties should get off their high
horses and give up the idea
that they have to give their
pledge classes the same pre
inltiatory "hazing' which was
given to them." said EJdon
:jPark, dean of men at the
University of Illinois, Monday
night .
Dean Park was brou ght to
the University by the Inter
Fraternity Council if IPC) to
discuss with all the chapters
at Nebraska the problems of
hell weeks and pledge train-
Deaa Park said that unity
is stressed too much ia fra
ternities. Instead, a frater
nity should try to develop tbe
pledge to his greatest poten
tial. For Nebraska to do this,
many chapters wiH have to
throw new light a the sub
ject of pledge training.
""Yon can teach a man how
to eat and what to wear, but
this is not going to get him
a job later in Sife," he said.
Students somehow seem to
forget that the main reason
they are here is to get an ed
ucation. At the University of Illinois
NO fraternity pledges a iman
who had not ranked in the
upper .quarter at ms ruga
school graduating class. The
reason, he said, is because
they have found that all She
men they want the ath
letes, scholars, leaders and
top personalities are found
in this group.
If a fraternity pledges a
man on the lower ranks of his
class, at can only expect a
scholasticaHy poor pledge
class.

officers of all 57 chapters at
Illinois, and is helping them
with tbeir pledge program.
