Jr. Panhel
Evaluates
Pledgeship
Panel Emphasizes
Scholarship Goals
Sorority pledges asked for
stricter scholastic programs
and better explanations of
what is expected of them in
an evaluation of pledge pro
grams at Monday's Panhell-
enic meeting.
The evaluation was a part
of the Junior Panhelletiic pro
gram. Questionnaires were
sent to all pledge classes, and
the report was compiled and
given by three pledges. Vicki
Dowiing, Lynn Baumann and
Pat Teel.
"The feeling of most pledge
classes on scholarship was
that the requirements were
set about right or too low,"
said Miss Baumann. "They
preferred proctored study
halls and all felt that week
end study halls were needed."
The girls indicated that sev
eral choices of times for study
hall on weekends should be
offered, but that a certain
number of hours should be
required, she continued.
"The pledges would like to
have a gripe session at the
beginning of the year during
which they could air their
grips, and actives would then
indicate what they expect
from them," said Miss Bau
mann. Conferences with the
pledges, pledge trainers and
several other actives would
also give the pledges some
idea of what is expected of
them, she noted.
The pledges expressed con
cern at the current custom
of pairing off at functions.
"They feel it defeats the pur
pose of the function, which
is to meet new people," she
said. "They felt that if we
could just explain to the fra
ternity in advance that we
don't wish to pair off, the
whole function would be bet
ter." Individuality should be
emphasized where participa
tion in activities is concerned,
said Miss Teel. The activities
chairman should be carefully
backgrounded in the function
and operation of campus ac
tivities so pledges will know
beforehand what they are
joining, she told the group.
The pledges rebelled at reg
ulation of hours when they
could go into the Student Un
ion. "If a pledge doesn't feel
like studying, she won't and
perhaps later she will study
harder if she can take a
break," said Miss Baumann.
"Then if a pledge takes ex
cessive advantage of the priv
ilege, action could be taken
against her."

can be found in the first sem

Newsgram.
"These have resulted in one
censorship of the editor and
two caustic editorials in the
Daily Nebraskan."
Referring to his discussions
with the former editor, Scholz
states, "He apparently has
not come to recognize the na
ture of the dissatisfaction the
RAM Council expressed in the
last censorship of him, so it
seemed best he be relieved of
his position."
Scholz also pointed out five
specific examples to justify
his action. The first con
cerned a -referrence to a fac
ulty member which was "un
fair and false."
The report says of the sec
ond incident, "On the front of
the Oct. 30 issue appeared, in
large letters superimposed
over the news stories, the
words, 'Vote for Volmer To

member of his staff had li

He will serve in this office

quest for state funds to sup

next two years.
The University request
for $37,000,000 would cover
all state-supported Univer

ennium except new con
struction. This compares
with the current operating
appropriation of $28,100,000.
This represents a $9 mil

This money would come
from the Nebraska general

The report also explains
that "the viewpoint of the

Rogowski was the recent edi

wrote, "One or more pledges

chased into Selleck Quadran

group of actives and forced to
take refuge in the rooms. Sel

Scholz charged that no ef
fort was made to get the-trae
story from Sigma Nu officers.
Hearsay was the basis of
truth in the editorial, Scholz
said.
Scholz concluded his report,
stating, "A publication such
as the RAM Newsgram can
not propagate misrepresenta
tion of fact, slanted reporting,
or untruths in its news stor

place for opinion, and even
there the material must be

"From my session with the
executive council and my con
versations with President
Scholz, I remain convinced . . .
that the Sigma Nu incident
never entered into their de
cision," Rogowski stated.
The former editor, "In a fi
nal attempt to pacify the
president," conceded to him
the establishment of an inde
pendent authority which
would prevent the "news
slanting".
"I conceded to him, in
short, all that I honestly
could, reserving only the
right to free expression of ed
itorial and resident opinion,"
Rogowski said.
The offer was refused, ac
cording to Rogowski's state
ment. "He demanded that even
editorial opinion be responsi
ble, that its writer hold the
same philosophy as the RAM
Council," the statement said.
As a result, a once flourish

High Enrollment
Surpasses Record
A record high second-semester registration has been re
corded by the University, according to Registrar Floyd
Hoover.
This semester's enrollment, 9,981 students, is only two
per cent off that predicted by Hoover last Feb. 6, and is
894 more than registered at this time last year.
The previous high was in 1947 when 9,951 students en
rolled at second semester.
Despite mid-year graduation, total enrollment of four
colleges increased over the first semester count, which was
a record 10,401 students.
The colleges that increased enrollment are: Business
Administration, up 2 over last semester; Pharmacy, up 32;
Teachers, up 34; and Graduate, up 9.
"In all probability, this is the last time well have fewer
than 10,000 students," said Hoover, "barring, of course,
completely unpredictable political, social or economic
upsets."

The University physical
plant is bigger now than it
was two years ago with
more area to be heated,
lighted, cooled and cared
for. Costs of providing these
services have also in
creased. Deferment of mainte

cost, not a saving.
It will cost a total of al

more to operate the total
