By Barry Abrams

order of the day." At least
that's what the girls who are
trying it say.
Under the temporary
change in housing rules 62 se
nior women are living in
apartments off-campus this
semester. These young wom
en haven t had much trouble
in adjusting to the change,
however.
Interviews with a few of
them revealed some of the
advantages and advantages
of off-campus living.
Sharon Cetak, a social stud
ies major, says, "I'm 22 years
old, my parents trust me
enough to feel I can take
care of myself at my age and
I ought to be able to live
without all those rules and
regulations." Miss Cetak owns

Off-Campus Students
Take Different View
One-third of all University
under-graduates live off cam
pus. 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".

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

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

all the students, and many
students cannot afford to live
on campus,. It in better that a
student comes to the Univer

than not come at all."
Any person living in Lan

the campus first semester, but
applications can be taken for
second semester if there is
room in the residence halls.

names of ten University coeds
who were chosen this week
as finalist; for Homecoming
Queen.

junior years, however, due to
the fact that the University
ran out of housing facilities
during the summer as appli
cations arrived, Miss Snyder
said.
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.

Firms participating in the
student discount card pro

from 12 to 16 this year and
savings begin next week.
This is the second year of
use for the cards and students
cansave up to 25 per cent
by using them. They are spon

able for the students next
week.
When representatives from
each living unit purchasing
their football tickets in a bloc
pick up their tickets at the
Coliseum, they will also be
given one student discount
card for each football ticket
they pick up.
Students who do not pur
chase their football tickets in
a bloc will also get their dis
count cards when they get
their tickets.
Those students who do not
purchase football tickets will
be able to pick up their cards
at a special booth in the Stu

be available in the Student
Council office.

chairman John Luckasen re
ports that the cards were a
success in their first year
"Although three businesses
are not returning to the pro

which are reported satisfac

"However," added Lucka
sen, "in order to have contin

students to take advantage of
the opportunities this program
offers. The more business the
students give these business

be to return to the program
next year."
Also this will encourage

Firms Again Offer

to find the reasons for their
decisions.
Clarke Kent, president of
Chicken Delight, gave two
main reasons for not taking
part this year. 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."
Last year, all the DX sta
tions In Lincoln were in the
discount program. This year
there are only two.
"We were well pleased by
last year's program," report
ed Earl Kraft, distributor for
DX in Lincoln. "This year
though we were late in get

gram, we were also contacted
a little late by the discount
