The University Moot Court team of
three men is now competing against nine
other teams in regional competition which
is being held in St. Louis, Mo.
The three law students representing
Nebraska are Bruce Graves, Richard Nel
son and Larry Meyers under the super
vision of Professor John Gradwohl.
Moot Courts are a set of hypothetical
cases and arguments which are presented
by the law student to a judge which hears
them, explained Wallace Rudolph, assist
ant professor of Law. The students must
prove a question concerned with a point of
the law: they must determine whether the
action is legal or illegal according to the
laws as they are written. They are not con
cerned with the fact that the action may
or may not have occured, he said.
After an opening statement of fact,
the teams must be able to answer ques
tions which arise as the hearing progress
es. Each team submits a written brief and
then presents an oral argument.
He said the cases are decided on the
basis of how well the questions have been
explained and the arguments presented.
The Moot Courts give the law student
practical experience in presenting an ar
gument similar to those which occur in
the courts throu'rhou the cantr" s.vd
Rudolph. They help him gain self-poise
and experience, and give him a chance to
associate with others who have similar in
terests. Nebraska has two Moot Courts, he ex-
plained. One is an internal competition
which is the proving ground for the na
tional competitions. Here every freshman
and junior in law school is given a chance ,
to argue a case. The teams consist of two
men with the winners being determined by
elimination according to the decision of the
judge hearing the case.
The finals for the internal competition
are held in the spring and are tried before
members of the State Supreme Court.
Members for the national competition
are seniors chosen on the basis of their suc
cess in the internal competition according
to Rudolph. Gradwohl and Rudolph super
vise the teams and alternate this position
from year to year.
National Moot Courts are sponsored
by the New York State Bar Association and
approximately 130 law schools participate
in the competition.
Each team must be able to argue both
sides of the case since their side of the
argument is revealed only a few hours be
fore the beginning of the hearing, said Ru
dolph. The teams must win or place second
in the regional trials before advancing to
the finals.
If the Nebraska team wins or places
second in the regionals they will attend the
finals during the third week in December
in New York City. The arguments then are
heard by members of the United States
Supreme Court.
Past record of Nebraska teams in
cludes going to the finals four times, win
ning once and being runner-up twice.
The period for payment of
fees for second semester has
been lengthened and moved
up to the first week of final
examinations, Jan. 27 to 31,
according to Lee Chatfield,
dean of junior division.
This will allow for a period
of free drops and adds Febr.
3, 4 and 5., the last three days
of finals. "This will take care
of mistakes made in the proc
ess of registration and also
allow the students to change
their minds. Students may see
their advisor and process
drops and adds without the
penalty fee.
' Student Council yesterday
unanimously passed a resolu
tion giving the support of the
Council to the new time for
payment of fees.
"This will allow students
who finish their finals the
first week to leave campus
immediately instead of wait
ing around to pay fees,"
pointed out Miss JoAnn
Stratemann, who introduced
the resolution.
"Admittedly the first week
of finals is a busier time for
students," said Miss Strate
mann, "but the time has been
lengthened to five days from
the three days used previous
ly, so they should be able to
find some time that is conve
nient."
Chatfield pointed out that
this change will require stu
dents to get their registration
worksheets filled out and
turned in before Christmas
vacation. '
"We will try to get the
class schedules out by Dec.
2," he said. "It will be up to
the colleges to set up the time
when students should see their
advisors."
"The moved up deadline for
registration will give us time
to get classes sectioned so
we will know what classes are
open when students come in
to drop and add."
He pointed out that because
Winter Finally Hits Campii,
But Snow Later This Year
As you might have noticed,
winter is here. But don't feel
too bad, by this time last
year three-fourths of an inch
of snow had fallen in Lincoln.
So, in a manner of speaking,
the temperatures in the twen
ties that we've been having
for the past three days are
not really that bad.
The 67 high that Lincoln
enjoyed on Sunday was an
other reason everyone is con
vinced that yesterday's low of
21 was really cold for this
time of year. The cold air
coming down from Canada.
dropping the temperature 46
degrees in three days, caught
everyone by surprise, es
pecially since the month of
October has been so mild.
October broke a 78 year
record for the highest average
monthly temperature. The av
erage temperature was 65.5
degrees, which is 8.8 degrees
higher than average for fall

Frosh Speaks
At National
Grange Meet
By 1970 the American farm
er will have become a "rural
businessman. , who will think
and act like any other busi
nessman," a University stu
dent told the National Grange
meeting at Portland, Oregon
today.
Robert Milligan, an Alpha
Tau Omega pledge, and this
year s winner of the F.F.A,
public speaking contest,
painted this picture of agri
culture by the end of the dec
ade:
"A new community culture
will emerge in which the
farmer will be less conscious
of his vocational identity in
his community life. The farm.
er will be a businessman in
much the same sense as his
city cousin.
As this happens, Milligan
predicts, "he will demand and
will receive a comparable lev
el of income." He added that
agriculture is not a declining
industry.
"During each year of the
1960's our agricultural plant
will use more capital, more
science, and technology, more
specialized marketing facur
ties, and more research than
the year before, he com
mented.
Milligan's appearance at
the Grange meeting was spon
sored by the Nebraska com
mittee on Agricultural I'ud-
lic Relations and was fi
nanced by the Nebraska
Stockgrowers Assn., Sandhills
Cattle Assn., and the Nebras
ka Wheat Growers Assn.
r
of the free add and drop peri
od, those who have not paid
their fees by Jan. 31 will not
have classroom space saved
for them. "There are always
a few that register and then
decide not to come back. We
need to use these spaces to
meet demands during the
drop and add period."
Council Approves
Goldwater Group
Student Council yesterday passed the constitution of Youth
for Goldwater. It had previously been rejected because It
did not follow the framework of University constitutions.
Acting president Dick Weill handed down his gavel to
explain previous objections. "There was a question of why
the group was not able to work within the framework of
Young Republicans., However, Young Republicans does not
want to come out for any candidate yet and this group def
initely does. There was also a question concerning finances.
The money will come from dues and from state funds. At
first we thought getting funds from the state funds was il.
legal for a University organization but as long as the funds
are unsolicited, as these are, it is within the rules."
Dick Weill, in the executive report, discussed the role of
the Student Council. He repeated his stand made Monday at
a campus forum with G. Robert Ross, vice chancellor. "I
feel that we have a greater obligation than to mirror student
opinion. The University community is made up of more than
students; there are the faculty and administration to con-
sider. I feel that it is our duty to take student opinion and
channel it in the direction which best helps the University."
He pointed out that in the oath for Student Council, mem-
bers said that they would do what was best for the Universi
ty, realizing that what is best for the University is- best for
the students as a whole.
He made it clear that this was his feeling only and that
each of the members must decide exactly what facet they
felt more important for themselves.
The Council will send representatives to the Nebraska
Student Government convention at Doane College Nov. 22-23.
They will discuss the possibility of including all colleges In
Nebraska in the group. At present some of them are left out.
They will also discuss methods of dealing more comprehen
sively with problems of the colleges.
Dennis Swanstrom, senators chairman, announced that
Senator Adamson will eat with the Selleck Quadrangle resi
dents one night this week.
"We hope by having these senators visit the campus, .
that we can find what we as students can do to make the
citizenry more aware of the University and its needs," said
Swanstrom. "We also hope that students may become more
familiar with the state government and that the senators may
become more familiar with student government."
'Scrip' Authors Nationally Recognized
Four selections from Scrip,
the University's undergradu
ate literary magazine, have
been reprinted in an anthol
ogy of college humor released
recently by the Dell Publish
ing Co., Inc.

Stewart, "Campus H u m o r"
contains selections from 21
other student magazines.
"How Dell got copies of
Scrip is a mystery to us,"
said the magazine's editor, Su
san Stanley, adding "Need
less to say, we're very
pleased."
Selected from the Spring,
1960 Scrip edition were "Min
nie Mouse and the Cameo
birfl," by Lee Parks; and
"Table Talk," by Thomas
Perry.
"If She Should Push the
Matter On, What Would Be

ship there.
Parks was the winner of the
1961 John H. Vreeland Award

in 1962 was awarded top place
in the Prairie Schooner Short
Story Contest. His story re
printed in "College Humor"
won an honorable mention in
the 1960 Prairie Schooner

Barbara Wilson,vnow M r s.
William Anderson, had a story
printed in every issue of Scrip

almost immediately, accord
ing to Miss Stanley. After
graduation from the Universi
ty in 1961, she taught high
school at Bellevue, for two
years.
A f o r m e r University stu
dent, Thomas Perry was em

The trip to Hallam to tour
the atomic plant may be can
celled if more students do not
sign up.
Mary Morrow, the Area
Director for the trips and
tours committee of the Stu
dent Union said that the trip

The new poultry complex on
Ag campus is 95 per cent com
plete, and one-half of the re
search faculties are being
used now, according to Dr.
John Adams, chairman of the
poultry science department.
The new structures will fur
nish 48,000 square feet of floor
space for research. Total cost
for the new units (9 buildings)
will be nearly $265,000.
The national poultry indus
try annually does business
amounting to $3.5 billion, ac
cording to Dr. Adams, stating
that in Nebraska annual in
come from poultry products
is around $45 million.
As an indication of the size
of the national industry, egg
production in 1960 would have
provided a path 12 eggs
wide stretching from the
earth to the moon, Dr. Adams
said.
In 12 years, per -capita con
sumption of poultry meat has
increased from 24 to 37
pounds. Dr. Adams said the
entire poultry industry is free
from government control, un
like some other segments of
agriculture.
The new buildings feature
compact pens necessary for
experimentation. Confinement
raising of birds is increasing
ly popular with producers
who have limited land area,
Adams said, noting that a
two story building of the
same size as the new facilities
could handle nearly 100,000
chickens for egg production
on 3.2 acres.
In 1960, the poultry science
department pioneered a new
system of handling manure.
Slotted floors were installed,
and equipment for complete
mechcanical handling, such
as augers and conveyors were
used for the first time.
All the new buildings are fiber-glass
insulated and have
forced air Ventalation. The
feed building has feed grind
ers, mixers, elevators sat

ments.
Research with the new fa
cilities is being carried out
in poultry nutrition, effects of ipcrience".
antibiotics, controlled egg
yolk color, and problems with
hatching conditions.
Completion of the new build
ings will mean more space
in the department building for
labs and graduate student re
search projects.
According to Dr. Adams, the
department offers degrees up
to and including the doctoral
degree. Positions within the
industry usually have about
10 openings for every qual
ified graduate.
