We were very happy to
see that the Board of
Regefcts gave their bless
ing to the administrative
reorganization which ma
terialized this summer
in shifting and re-assignment
of responsibili
ties. . . though it has
scrambled-up the "peck
ing order" and who-does-what-when
system for the
outsider.
Most of the shifting was
done from the Chancel
lor's office to the offices
pl Hie three newly titled
Vice Chancellors. The ac
tion came on the prompt
ing ot. Chancellor Hardin
in relation to suggestions
made in the 1960 Glenny
Report on Higher Educa
tion in .Nebraska. Such a
reorganization has been
needed for some time and
came at an opportune
time Jo,. face the current
.needs of the University
(money not being the only
one).
- It m not take the
floe report made by
Dr. Glenny to shew up
the University's organiza
tion weakness of having
bogged down with routine

SCRAMBLE
One for
detail work, which has
now been reassigned to
offices which can handle
said work better.
This reorganization was
a reversal of previously
announced policies of the
University. In February,
1962 (report in the Febr.
19 issue of the Nebras
kan) the University re
leased an answer to the
Glenny Report in which
the Regents greeted a sug
gestion that the Chancel
lor should delegate more
authority to deans and
directors with a solid
"no." It is a credit to
our Regents that chang
ing situations can bring
changes in policy.
The tally on the Glenny
Report is encouraging
and shows that our Uni
versity is indeed forward
moving. Suggestions that
have been adopted by the
University, either in part
or wholly include em
phasis on graduate study
(since World War II the
University had added 25
programs leading to the
master's degree and 14,
to the doctor's degree),
Time To Unpack!
Berlin got hot ... call
up the reserves, increase
local draft quotas and
cancel military dis
charges, the President
said. Berlin got cool . . .
let the reservists go
home, cut tack on draft
quotas, let our boys out
of the service, the Presi
dent says. Berlin gets
warm . . . let's hold up a
little on these announced
cut backs, the President
savs.
Then a variatJoa
theme: Cuba gets hot . . .
call vp tbe reserves, in
crease local draft quotas
and cancel military div
charges, says the Presi
dent. Ent, there was a
chance fw salvatkm. Con
gress w as cool 1 the oew
requested Increase. Presi
dent falls back, re-s roups
and asts Just for tbe pww
er to do so. All is lost.
There is m qaestion now
that tbe President is go
ing to get his request for
"stand-by authority" to
caO p (what a terrify
ing phrase) VA mili
tary reservists.
The House Armed Serv
ices Committee beard De
fense Secretary Mc
Namara testify behind
closed doors, with tbe full
bouse likewise ready to
vote overwhelmingly to
give the President author
ity to order reservists to
active duty and extend
tours of men now in serv
ice should such steps be
necessary while Congress

cilities, establishment of
a Bureau of Institutional
Research to promote ad
ministrative efficiency
and educational planning,
and a great deal of plan
ning into the suggestion
of determining the feasi
bility of a state network
of educational television.
Dr. Glenny also did some
predicting and from the
looks of this over crowded
campus (housing, classes,
parking, sidewalks. Crib,
etc.) one of his predic
tions is going to come
true: "Nebraska will
need the equivalent of an
other university by 1970."
Glenny said that by this
time little old NU will
have some 15.605 students.
The Registrar is predict
ing a cool 10,000 this
semester and it is only
8.700 when the report was
made in 1960).
Can this state wait un
til 1970 to expend its
present facilities or add
new ones equivalent to
the present one?
NO!
for many other court efforts in the civil
rights field.
This close association with the cause
of civil rights was the rationale used by
Southern senators in opposing him.
The 16 negative votes were cast by
Southern Democrates from nine states
that have strongly opposed civil rights
legislation. They contended that Marshall,
as former counsel for the NAACP. lacked
experience other than in the civil rights
field.
We feel it extremely unfortunate that
a man so obviously qualified for such a
high position is opposed merely because
of his color. We see a good deal of irony
in the fact that this man has been ac
corded such injusticies by those few
Southern senators while the duty of the
position he will hold is to INSURE in
justice. But, then, this is the American way
the democratic way. And we're sure
those Southerners who opposed Mar
shall's appointment have assured them
selves of re-election by their home
states' democratic voting systems sans
Negro vote.

These days a fellow is

It used to be that a

most graduate but begin
their careers and profes

denly be called in to put
them back together again.
But this is America and
we as young men love it
and willing to protect it
against anything and any
one who wants to destroy
our inherent freedoms as
they have others. We just
wish that we had time to

Looking Up
By FRANK LAVDIS
Congratulations are in
order for the fraternities'
new crop of pledges. I'd
i say the same for the soror-
ities; however, I've only
seen about three sorority
pledges under 5'5". C'est
la vie.
While I'm on the topic of
Greeks and pledges, I think
we had best take a look at
our type of rush system
and Rush Weeks.
Most of the fraternities
I on campus spend well over
a thousand dollars on rush-
big each year. Some houses
I create bad feelings between
fraternities because of so-
called dirty rushing. An
1 other ill of the system is
that freshmen are pledged
on high school records
sports abilities, and hear-
say from alums, etc.
These problems could be
I done away with, in part, by
adopting what is known as
f a "deferred" rush week.
This would mean holding
our Rush Week during
semester break, and open
rush during the Spring
months. Many schools use
this program and find it
I very satisfactory.
I There are many advan
I tages of a deferred Rush
Week:
Fraternities could see
how the prospective rushees
I fare scholastically and in
their activities.
Summer and pressure
1 rushing in the fall would be
I reduced since the rushees
I would live on the campus
for a semester and see the
merits and faults of the
houses they are consider
ing. LAST SATV I GST A

Freshmen could decide
whether they really want to
become affiliated with a
fraternity or sorority. This
would eliminate students
who pledge a house just be
cause they think "it's the
thing to do."
The only "disadvantage"
I can see to this program,
is that the sub-rosa fratern
ities would have to wait an
extra semester to get their
greedy hooks on the pro
spective Innocents. Well so
much for that!

Rush week is over. So
is new student week and
all of the headaches of
registration. Now, Pledge
Training begins in the
Fraternity and sorority
world, and with it rests
the future of the Fratern
ity system and the future
of the individual Fratern
ity chapters on campus.
Last spring pledge
training was talked about
by the IFC, by small
groups of interested
Greeks, by small pressure
groups in each house, and
by the alumni and nation
al chapters.
But, what has or will be
the result?
Some houses will still
buy the theory that you
build men and develop
their character by treat
ing them like boys or gui
nea pigs. One will be able
to find pledges being
swatted on the rump; bat
tered in the face with
eggs; lying on the floor
with exhaustion from
a short "room session"
with the "big guys" of the
chapter.
A few chapters will
play little games and run
regular "fun and game"
sessions. Fun for the Ac
tives with pledges being
fair game. What type of
games? Fire drills.
"Warm up the engines
boys, there's a fire in the
basement. Get to third,
get a mouth of "garp"
out of the pan and crawl
down the stairs. Now!
Spit it on the fire. Barf.
Woops, well, get up those
stairs again. We're build
ing your character . . ."
Or, looking into the sor
ority you might overhear
. . . "OK girlies, stop
acting like a bunch of
boys. It's time for a green

goodie check . . . have",
all of you got those green,;
undies on? Quit your
smiling, Susie, or you'll
have to eat that onion,
raw! All of it!"
Then of course, there's
always the marshmallow
game the one usually -used
by the old letter club .,
at home. Or maybe we :
should try the broom stick.

"Put your head on that Z
broom stick now quick-
ly, run in circles. Dizzy
yet? Good! Now run to 7
the other end of the room ,
and touch Bob so he can
start. Watch out Don't T,
slip on that . . . Johnny?
Johnny! Hey, Let's get a
doctor down here, fast."
And the doctor might
arrive, along with the
press corps. And maybe
there's just an outside
chance that Johnny won't .
be alive.
And maybe Johnny's
parents won't be too hap
py. They just might ask
for a tidy sum of cash.
Someone may go to jail
for manslaughter. A chap
ter might just be closed.
Chuckle, wlvv don't
you. You sorority sweet
ies are just as bad in
many respects as the Fra
ternity men. So what if
the IFC or Panhellenic
has rules against it? You
will still hold the belief
that what Dean Snyder or
Dean Hallgren don't
