These students may be from Lincoln, commute from near by cities, or may live in apartments in the city. These students see the campus from a different view than do on campus students. "I have lived on campus and at home, and I feel that it is better to live on cam pus. There Is more spirit, and I feel closer to the University. At home I feci out of it all," said Tranda Schultz. Barbara Beckman, a stu dent who also has lived on and off campus said, "I feel freer at the house on campus; more on my own. I feel that I am more qualified for ac tivities. Since I don't have to spend time driving, I have more time to study". The two students iner. viewed who had lived on and off campus felt that it was better to live on campus. Harold Bardy, a freshman whose parents moved to Lin. coin from Omaha during the summer said, "I don't feel that I am missing anything by not living on campus. 1 spend most of my time on campus, and when I have to be somewhere, I can always Miss Wood - CAMPUS - Iniouseimg mission from their parents may live off-campus this year, either with relatives or with other University girls. Those living off-campus this year include girls in their freshman, sophomore, and study facilities are as good if not better. Miss Farrens and her room mates put their food money in a "kitty" and all take turns cooking and washing dishes.

I am happy living in Lincoln." Jerry Vogt, a Lincoln man, said, "I enjoy the feeling of being more of an individual by living at home. I have more freedom. There are fewer distractions, and I am not so tempted to play Instead of studying." "I fed close to the campus. I can come here whenever 1 want, and feel that I am just as much a part of the Univer sity as a student who lives here on campus." Vice Chancellor G. Robert Ross, dean of Student Af fairs said that the University education is gained through experiences both in and out of classes. "It would possibly be bet ter if all students lived on campus, but this is imprac tical. We have no room for all the students, and many students cannot afford to live on campus,. It in better that a student comes to the Univer sity and lives off campus, than not come at all."

She said, however, that the greater portion of these girls are living with relatives, and not in apartments as the sen iors are doing. Miss Snyder said that dor mitories are "absolutely full at this time, but that as stu dents drop out, some of the girls may be housed there. There were 13 girls living at Nebraska Center, but six of them have been moved in to the dormitories. Miss Sny der said that the hope is that by second semester the wait ing for the dormitories will be reduced somewhat. She said that next year the problem will be remedied with the completion of Abel Hall, new men's dormitory which will house 1,000 students. Gath er Hall will be vacated by the men, leaving 480 vacan cies for the girls to fill in. With the 100 girls living in Selleck, this would allow for 180 in growth. With the remedying of, the situation, she said, the off campus living rule will not be in effect next year. Miss Snyder emphasized the fact that the re?.;ca iha Uni versity does not wish to con tinue to allow girls to live off campus is that "We feel we have an obligation to help them get the most out of their education." "We are interested in the total product we are turning out; that is, we not only want our students to come out of the University scholastical ly intelligent, but also with the ability to contribute to so ciety and work with people." "Everyone is rated on jobs after graduation on such fac tors as this, as well as pro ficifcy on the job. We feel that the student can best gain this side of his education here on the campus where he is not isolated from the Univer sity," she said.

His company is using a new type of budget this year which will not allow the use of a discount on sales. Kent said he also encount ered a few problems. He had agreed to give a ten cent discount on all dinners. Sev eral students attempted to make small purchases and then have them declared as being dinners. "Once, I catered to a din ner of about 50 people. I cut the prices for them to a bare minimum profit in order to satisfy them. Then, when I delivered the meal, I was met by 50 discount cards. I had no choice but to honor them, and then took a loss on the deal." "However," Kent added, "I believe the discount program is good, and I plan to take part in it again." Model Cleaners had a dif ferent reason for dropping the program. "When we joined the pro gram last year, we were pro mised that we would be the only laundry which would be allowed to participate," said Mrs. Polick, wife of Model's owner. "Then when we were ap proached to take part this year, they had already signed up another laundry too. We signed up with this point agreed upon, and now they are not fo'loving It."
