Success Si'eef
When Cigarettes
Ex-Smoker Lists Aids
In Swearing Off Habit
By Frank Partsch
Senior Staff Writer
A. J. Folkenberg tells the patients In
his Five Day Plan to Stop Smoking that
we are close to breaking the habit when
we begin to feel sorry for anyone who
lights up a cigaret.
At first, I felt sorry for myself when
I saw someone lean back with a content
ed look on his face and exhale a long
blue stream of pleasure. But today, for
the first time, I found to my satisfaction
that I am glad that I no longer smoke.
(Nothing for the last 48 hours, that is).
Folkenberg explains that a smoker
must have a motive to reinforce his no
smoking decision. He lists love (not want
Ing to deprive your loved ones of your
company nine years early), fear (of can
cer, heart trouble or corroded lungs),
health (likewise), pride (at not being de
pendent on Lady Nicotine), example to
others, economy and the Fifth Command
ment (taking self destruction Into tha def
inition of "kHL")
Once that motive is strongly formed
in the subconscious, all we require to
stop smoking is an exercise In will pow
er. To make this easier, coffee and cokes
are eliminated from the diet and are re
placed with "cold mitten friction."
Immediately after the morning hot
shower, you take a washcloth, soak it in
cold water, wring it dry and briskly mas
sage the entire body with it until the skin
turns pink. Not only does this process
take the place of the morning cup of cof
fee as a stimulant but it is (supposedly)
not depressing.
Since the nicotine habit has been elim
inated from my daily pursuits, I have
found that I eat and eat and eat and eat.
Folkenberg says that we will notice weight
as a problem but that we can merely be
gin to say "I choose not to drink" or any
thing else that we wish to control in our
habit pattern.
So it looks as if I will be the victim
of a vicious cycle. I will have the clean
lungs of a non smoker with the pot belly
of a glutton. And who knows what urge
will replace the craving for food when
that is overcome . . . maybe I will take
to sniffing glue or biting my nails or
something.
But I have quit smoking.
Predicted Expansion
Tits Into' City Plan
The University campus,
which has to enlarge for an
expected doubled enrollment
by 1980, can fit gracefully
into downtown Lincoln s arch
itectural plans.

the University's future look at

NU Alum To Staff
A University alumni, Dr.
John Snyder, a research
chemist, has recently joined
the staff of the Yerkes Re
search and Development Lab
oratory of the DuPont Com
pany's Film Department in
Buffalo N.Y.
Snyder received his bache
lor of science degree in chem
istry and his master of sci
ence in biochemistry from
the University. He was
awarded his doctor of philos
ophy degree in organic chem
istry from Iowa State in 1959.
Prior to his assignment on
the DuPont staff, Dr. Sny

on the staff on the Sabine Re
search and Development in
Orange, Texas.
Schools Pooling Facilities
Washington (CPS) Add
two Catholics, one Meth
odist, the 'Negro's Har
vard" and one private non
'denominational university for
a recipe of one of the most
unique moves in U.S. higher
education.
It's called the Joint Grad
uate Consortium a pioneer
pooling of graduate facilities
of the five major universities
in the nation's capital.
It was born this month with
an agreement between How
ard, American, Catholic,
George Washington and
Georgetown universities.
A Georgetown student can
benefit from classes in Swa
hili, Yoruba and Tswans
African languages not offered
by his Jesuit professors.
A long range goal is to
shatter the monopoly "the
top 20" universities have on
Ph.D production. Another will
be a flood of funds from foun
dations and the federal gov
ernment underwriting grad
uate work once beyond the
scope of the five during com
petition days.
A main theme of the con
sortium comes from Hurst R.
Anderson, president of Amer
ican University.
"I would hope to see even
tually a great graduate cen
grams and research oppor
tunities that no one school is
strong enough to finance and
staff."
James Nabrit, president of
Howard, has long been an
advocate of an MIT-type com
plexa center for advanced
research in sciences, space
and nuclear studies.
Thomas Carroll, president
of George Washington, noted
that all five will keep their,
separate university identities.
But it will be the reputation
of the joint consortium they
all hope to promote.
civic, governmental and busi
ness leaders.
Enerson presented charts
of proposed University ex
pansion that show the city
campus extending west at one
point to 9th, east to 18th,
north to Holdrege and south
toQ.
Plans include the creation
of a main entrance at 13th
and Q. Enerson said the
main entrance would enhance
the campus appearance and
provide a convenient connec
tion with the proposed North
east Diagonal branching off of
Q Street to the East.
Non-University traffic would
be rerouted around the cam
pus and campus traffic would
assume a loup pattern. A
street directly connecting city
and ag campuses along with
some of the proposed dormi
tories might be built.
In addition to expected dor
mitories, classrooms and labs
in the north and east sections
of the future campus, room
will be alloted for open areas
and recreational fields.

UNIVERSITY HAS 'BIG SISTERS'
FOP
JbJ
Fo Fpfw To
Mary J. is a Lincoln teen
ager and she's in trouble.
She may be able to get
help from a University "Big
Sister."
Mary J.'s trouble is she
doesn't get along at h o m e,
doesn't like school or school
activities and has been
placed on probation by the
juvenile court for a recent
violation of the law.
She could be destined for
an unhappy life with future
brushes with the law and pos
sible Insecurity for her en
tire life.
However, a new program
formed with the cooperation
of a group of University girls
and the Lancaster County Ju
venile Court may aid Mary to
a normal, useful life.
The program, known as the
"Big Sister" program has 12
University coeds working with .
Lincoln teenage girls referred
to them by the court. The
girls attempt to become
friends with the teenagers and
serve as an older sister would
In the normal family.
The program began last
year, but, according to court
officials, really began operat
ing at full effectiveness this
school year. Neither court of
ficials or the big sisters re
gard the program as a cure
all, but officials remark they
feel it has helped each par
ticipating glrL They hope to
see the program grow and
feel the biggest problem In
its growth now is the lack of
girls at the University participating.
Close cooperation between
all concerned parties Is re
quired for the program to be
successful. The probation of
fice decides which girls
would benefit from having a
"big sister" and refers the
girl's name and information
about her case to the coeds.
The University students
screen applicants and attempt
to match the college student
with a little sister who they
believe will get along with her
new acquaintance. Personali
ty, interest and maturity are
all considered when making
the match.
The relationship of the two
girls begins with an introduc
tion by the probation office.
No teenager is required to
participate in the program
and she Is only introduced to
a prospective big sister after
being told about the program
and expressing approval.
After the relationship Is es
tablished the girls decide on
their Individual activities. The
college students meet perio
dically to discuss experiences j
and benefit from each other's
experience.
Participation is open to any
University coed and is op
erated as a part of the Uni
versity YWCA program. Both
the students and court have
many favorable comments
about its benefits.
Mrs. Mildred Rietfors, ju
venile probation officer, has
six girls working with six of
her cases. She cites as strong
points of the program, "en
thusiasm and interest of the
big sisters who are making
many personal sacrifices."
She said the program is aid
ing in teaching the teenager
and the college student about
the values of life.
"This proeram has oroven
io be wonderful, thus far,"
said Mrs. Rietfors. She said
none of the girls she has had
assigned to a bl2 sister have
bad to be brought Into court for
a second offense. Mrs. Cris
tine Cox, another probation of
ficer, said the same Is true of
the six girls she has assigned
to big sisters.
The program's operation
varies from individual to in
dividual. There are also prob
lems that occur from time
to time. The college students
attempt to maintain good re
lations with the teenager's
family, but in at least one
case the family does not
think favorably of an outsider
participating in family func
tions. The activities of the "sis
ters" also vary. They go to
activities that interest them
and see each other usually
about once a week. Often
times the teenager will call
on her older friend either by
phone or in person.
Activities include going to
the art gallery, the movies,
bowling, church and dinners.
The coeds do not attempt to
push their young friends into
any activity and strive to
avoid preaching to the girls.
"We try to just be a friend,
not a counselor," is the way
Pat Devaney, assistant chair
man, explained the program.
Any conversation between
the girls are confidential and
the big sister does not have to
inform the court about what
they have discussed or done
with the girls.
The coeds participating are
Jean Schafer, Ann Munis, Pat
Fitzgerald, Terrl Rupe, Sheila
Otto, Pat Devaney, Jean
Holmqulst, Sue McNally, Mar
go Lahl, Susan Jones, Delia
Meyer and Ellen Endcr.
The University sponsors are
Dr. Garnet Larson and Mrs.
Naomi Brill. .
