The reactions of Student
Council to the challenges of
its effectiveness and the clar
ification of University policy
regarding drinking, unspon
sored dances and football
seating vied for as the "top
news story of the first semes
ter," but, in a vote taken by
the senior editors of the
DAILY NEBRASKAN, the
school spirit and enthusiasm
before the conquest of Auburn
by the Nebraska Cornhuskers
in the Orange Bowl won the
title hands down.
BOWLITIS . . .
Quarterback Denny Clar-
idge and a nationally feared
Husker line led by All-Amer-ican
guard Bob Brown were
too much for Auburn as 7,000
Husker fans, and many thou
sands more on television,
cheered the Scarlet and
Cream on to victory, a vic
tory which evened Nebraska's
bowl record at 2-2 and re
stored Big Eight prestige
with the Orange Bowl com
mittee. '
The season was marked by
a high degree of student en
thusiasm, and two nights be
fore the crucial championship
game with perennial confer
ence power Oklahoma, over
3,000 students marched on the
University and Lincoln clam
oring for victory.
The top ten stories were:
(1) The Orange Bowl victory;
(2) The drinking poll con
ducted by Student Council;
(3) The miscalculation in
seating which resulted in
some students watching the
football games from the end
zone bleachers; (4) The
"open campus" controversy
following the conference
championship win over Okla
homa; (5) The recolonization
of Kappa Alpha Psi; (6) The
statement of policy by the In
terfraternitv Council reeard-
ing discrimination; (7) Tui
tion hikes by the Board of Re
gents and approval of another
"tower" dormitory; (8) Ad
ministration action in bann
ing college night dances and
explanation of policy after a
college night dance was held;
(9) The shortage in class sec
tions for the second semes
ter; (1) The student discount
card program originated by
Student council.
DRINKING . . .
The number two story gains
its importance from the num
ber four story. Following a
sudden laxity in liquor law
enforcement, the Council,
spurred by a small but insis
tent group of students to in
vestigate the drinking prob
lem on campus and produce
a solution, polled the student
body on its drinking habits
and attitudes.
The poll was taken immedi
ately after the Christmas va
cation, and following the first
poll, the Council announced
that another would be taken
in the near future in an at
tempt to draw more student
interest. Only 384 of the orig
inal 1,500 forms were re
turned. TICKETS ...
The shortage in student
football stadium seats, the
third placi story, affected al
most 1.0G0 students. James
Pittenger, athletic ticket man
ager, told the Student Coun
cil that his office had under
estimated the demand and
had not reserved enough
stadium seats for the stu
dents. After several meetings, the
Council suggested a rotation
system, with those holding sta
dium seats trading with their
less fortunate fellow students,
allowing everyone to sit in the
end zone once and in the sta
dium most of the time.
The plan was supported by
IFC and PanHellenic Council
and the rotation was organ
ized on a voluntary basis.
Although the success of the
venture could not be meas
ured, the plan was apparent-

Stromer Seeks Action
In Educational Svstem
By Al Brandt
Junior Staff Writer
"Nebraska is at a cross
roads, we will continually
weaken a separate system or
we must wake up and
strengthen a unified system."
With these words State Sen
Marvin Stromer, chairman of
the state legislative commit
tee on higher education,
summed up his speech before
members of Sigma Alpha Ep
silon and members of the fac
ulty Wednesday night.
Sen. Stromer's speech cen
tered on Nebraska's system
of higher education and its fu
ture. Stromer listed several
of the problems facing Ne
braska in the field of higher
education and stated ways to
solve them.
The Senator advocated the
concept of having a board to
govern all schools of higher
education with one person
having final executive author
ity. This type of board would
eliminate duplication and
would foster inter-college co
operation. He also said that Nebraska
will have to switch to the
complex system under one
governing board. A complex
system, which is used in sev
eral of the surrounding states,
would have one main campus
with other campuses in other
parts of the state.
Along with the institutional
co-operation would come such
things as a traveling scholar
ship, traveling faculty and
cross fertilization of institutions.
New Citizens Named
Mr. and Mrs. Herbert
Thomas became naturalized
citizens of the United States
Wednesday. Mrs. Elsie
Thomas is a senior assistant
librarian at Love Library. Mr.
Thomas is the staff artist for
the Nebraska State Historical
Society.
Mrs. Thomas stated that
this was their third citizen
ship; the first that they re
ceived voluntarily. She said
that they were Germans living
in Latvia until 1939 when
Latvia was annexed by Rus
sia. They then fled to Poland
which was occupied by the
Germans.
In January of 194i when the
Russians conquered Poland,
they fled to Berlin. The World
Council of Churches sponsored
their trip to this country in
1952. They wanted to have
their children grow up
Americans.
To enable the state to get
a better return from its edu
cation, me senator recom
mended that the University
become a tuition free cap
stone school. This would al
low the top 15 to 20 percent of
Nebraska high school students
to attend the University free.
Under the University there
would be a system of colleges
which would accept students
in the top half of their high
school class. A system of jun
ior colleges would be set up
for those students not in the
top half of their high school
class to find out whether they
would be able to continue
their education.
Answering his own question
of how a program like this
would come about, Sen. Stro
mer said, "The only way
would be through legislative
action." "The time for action
on this is now."
sue alone and 17 per cent
c a 1 1 e d for stricter enforce
ment of the existing laws.
These two figures together,
desiring no change in the ex
isting laws, total 41 'per cent
of those polled. j
Of those that desired some
change, 16 per cent asked
for 3.2. beer to be available
to all persons over 18 years of
age; 9 per cent thought it
should be limited-to those
over 19 years. Seven per cent
felt that Council should work
for availability of all alcoholic
beverages for those over 18;
7 per cent thought this privi
lege should be given to those
over 19.
An interesting note is that
the highest percentage of
those over 21 who answered
the polls felt that the issue
should be left alone. Thirty
nine per cent of those over 21
felt so.
Of those desiring 3.2 beer
for those 18 years of age, 69
per cent are under 21 years
now; 31 per cent are over 21.
The poll also registered
those that drink. Fifty-eight
per cent of those polled drink
now and drank before they
came to the University. Sev
enteen per cent drink now but
did not drink before coming
to the University. Seventy-five
per cent now drink.
"These results show that
the University is not a great
influencing factor in whether
or not a student drinks,"
pointed out Barton.
The issue will now be turned
over to the public issues com
mittee, headed by Tom Kort
They will decide any further
course of action.
After talking to Kort,
Barton said, "I think one of
our next steps will be to have
some authorities come to
speak to Council and explain
the law. We will also probably
circulate petitions to the liv
ing units concerning any
change. These will be given
to the State Senators."
Ultimate, decision on what
further action will be taken
lies with the whole Student
Council.

Appeal
Scf s
The Student Council parking
committee accepted Jim
Moore's appeal for nullifica
tion of his parking ticket and
by doing so may have set a
precedent
Moore was parked in the
Student Union parking I o t
when he came out of the
building to find a campus po
lice officer just walking away
after writing out a ticket.
Moore had the change in his
hand to put in the meter, but
the ticket had already been
written," according to Steve
Brammer, member of the
parking committee.
Moore then appealed to the
parking committee.
The committee decided in
favor of nullifying the ticket
after it had heard Brammer
tell of a similar experience
with the Lincoln City Police
in which he was released from
paying the parking ticket be
cause he had the money in
his hand at the time the ticket
was being written.
The parking committee
would probably set the pro
gram up so that the student
would have the police officer
initial the ticket or write a
note indicating that the stu
dent had arrived, prepared to
pay the meter, when the of
ficer was in the process of
writing the ticket. The stu
dent could then go to Campus
Police Headquarters and have
the ticket voided.
However, before this pro
gram can be put into effect
the parking committee must
confer with Eugene H. Mast
ers, Captain of the Campus
Police. "And for Moore's ap
peal to be finalized the com
mittee must have the con
currence of G. Robert Ross,
dean of student affairs. -

der a new staff.
ly well received, and t h e r
was little indignant reaction
to the problem during the lat
er season. ;
OPEN CAMPI . . .
In the number four spot was
the celebration following the
Oklahoma game. Laws for
bidding liquor on the Univer
sity campus were completely
disregarded by reported per
mission of the campus police.
Although the source of their
permission is clouded in ob
scurity sources in the Ad
ministration building denied
any knowledge of the affair
as well as the police the
issue had far reaching effects.
Vice chancellor G. Robert
Ross, dean of student affairs,
announced that an "open
campus" was a thing of the
past and StudentCouncil in
vestigated the drinking situa
tion on campus.
KAP's ...
The appearance of the Uni
versity's first Negro frater
nity, Kappa Alpha Psi, won
the number five honor. The
Kappa Alpha Psis were not
recognized by IFC pending
acquisition of a house and lo
cation of a charter supposed
ly issued by the University in
1916.
IFC POLICY . . .
On Dec. 18 the IFC issued
a statement of policy regard
ing discrimination in frater
nities, discouraging coloniza
tion of any group on campus
with discriminatory clauses
in its charter and encourag
ing those with such clauses
at the present time to work
toward their repeal for the
number six story.
DORM TUITION . . .
In the seventh position was
the Oct. 5 announcement by
the Board of Regents that the
University's dormitory system
would be expanded by tnc ad
dition of another l.OOO-nlus
capacity residence hall, ac
companied by a $65 raise in
room and board fees for all
dormitory residents. The Re
gents also raised tuition for
non resident students and
medical and dental students.
DANCES .r.-
Eighth was the action taken
by Administration against
the custom of college night
dances following rush week.
A letter from the office of
Student Affairs to the presi
dents of all fraternities and
sororities warned that these
dances were not University
functions and participation in
such dances would be in vio
lation of University policy.
In later clarification of the
University's views on drink
ing, the main objection to the
college night dances, Vice
Chancellor Ross announced
that a student could make up
his own mind about drinking
off campus, as long as he was
not attending a University
sponsored function or one de
signed for or limited to stu
dents alone.
OVERCROWDED . . .
Overcrowded class
rooms and teacher shortages
made the number nine story.
More than 1,000 students re
ceived word that sections for
which they had preregistered
were closed. Worst hit was the
English Department, closely
followed by the Departments
of Political Science, Psychol
ogy and Sociology.
Gov. Frank Morrison,
speaking to the Young Repub
licans following the announce
ment of the shortage, suggest
ed that the Chancellor visit
him if the problem were ser
ious. Vice Chancellor Ross
said that the situation was
probably not much worse
than in former years, only
more publicized.
DISCOUNTS ...
Student Council reappeared
in the tenth spot with the Jan.
22 announcement that student
discount cards would be avail
able during second semester
registration. The cards offer
students discounts ranging
from 1040 per cent on pur
chases from twelve Lincoln
firms.
