for a "Dead Week" to be

before finals.
The resolution calls for
the dropping of intramur

resolution will be presented
to the Faculty Senate, be
cause of the mention of
hour examinations.
Luckasen said that since
it was not in the Council's
authority to tell the faculty

the Senate would have to
vote on it.

For Treasury Infractions
Phi Gamma Delta has been
placed on social probation
for failure to turn in financial
reports, it was announced at
the InterFraternity Council
meeting last night.
Any fraternity with more

port of the house's financial
situation.
J. Winston Martin associate
dean of student affairs,
emphasized the importance
of fraternity treasurers turn
ing in the balance sheet to
the board each month.
"Chapters in trouble finan
cially are usually in some
other kind of trouble also.
This is why it is important
that we find out right away
if a house is having to bor
row money,' 'Martin said.
Council members unan
imously approved an allot
ment of $100 for the consult
ing services of a certified pub
lic accountant to draw up a
working budget and book

The executive council of

solutions to the problem of
past rigorous and lengthy
discussions durine he election-

committee chairmen.
1. Allow an interviewing
board composed of designated
members to hear a complete,
comprehensive program from
all candidates, selecting two
or three most qualified can
didates for each office to pre
sent their programs before
IFC.
2. Pequire of candidates a
prepared mimiographed sheet
listing their platform, new

ane Michel told Council
members that changes have
been made in the constitu

these changes will be taken
to the convention this fall.
Judiciary J o A n n e
Stratemann said that the
constitutions of the African
Student's Association and
the School of Journalism
Council will be considered
by the Judiciary Commit
tee. Associates Pam Hedge
cock, speaking for a sub
committee set up to inves
tigate possible solutions to
the financial situation of the
Daily Nebraskan, said that
this committee, which was
set up of the Associate's
own accord, demonstrates
for the Council the poten
tial of the Associates pro
gram. She yielded the floor
to Bruce Jensen, who said
the committee has been in
terviewing people on cam
pus, such as the assistant
director of the Student Un

Jensen said a list is being
made of possible solutions,
and a final solution should
be ready in about a month.
Public Relations Mike
Jeffrey reported that his
committee gave the results
of the mock election to the
Lincoln Journal, and they
appeared in the Saturday
paper. Bill Hayes told Coun
cil members that assign
ments had been made for
contacting the various col
leges and professional or
ganizations around campus
ability are scattered to f i t
the students' needs as much
as possible.
The program is under the
direction of Hubert Schneider
and Donald Miller, associate
professors of mathematics.
"The program isn't a tutor
ing service or a replacement
for the office hours of the in
structors," said Miller. "It is
designed to aid a student who
comes across a problem he
can't work, and which is prob
ably followed by five more
just like it."
"The instructor might not
be readily available, but if the
student can get just one bit
of help on the problem, this

and other student, faculty,
and alumni groups.
Kalcheim emphasized the
readiness of the agency's

might be all he needs. The
counselors attempt to give this
aid."
The counselors are avail
able to give help to the stu
dents on Monday through
Thursday afternoons, and on
Sunday through Thursday
nights.
On each of the afternoons,
a counselor is available from
2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in room B-8
of Burnett Hall and from 1:30
to 4:30 p.m. in the southeast
corner of the third floor hall
in Love Library each day
except Tuesday. On that aft
ernoon, the counselor is avail
able there from 3 p.m. to
5 p.m.
The evening counselling ses
sions are held in four loca
tions; room 349 of the Stu
dent Union, the dining room
of Selleck Quadrangle, t h e
conference room in Raymond
Hall and in the Ag Union.
The sessions in the Student
Union and in Selleck are held
from 7:30 to 10:30 each night.
Those in Raymond Hall meet
from 7 to 10 p.m. In the Ag
Union, the sessions meet from
8:30 to 10:30 on Sunday and
Tuesday, from 7:30 to 10:30
on Monday nights, and from
9:30 to 10:30 on Wednesday
nights. No sessions are held
there on Thursday nights.
In the Student Union a spe
cial telephone is available for
students to call in and re
ceive aid if they are unable
to get to any of the locations.
The program has been very
successful thus far from the
point of view of student par
ticipation. Last week, 279 stu
dents used the counseling pro
gram and occupied the coun
selors for a total of G6 hours.
"We are finding that t h e
majority of students using the
program are those in the mid
dle grade receiving group,"'
said Miller. "The good stu
dents don't need it and t h e
poor students just don't
come," he said. "This would
have to be labeled as the big
gest weakness of the program
thus far," he said.
Each week, each counselor
turns in a report indicating
which students visited h i m
during his sessions, what their
trouble was, and how much
time was needed to help them.
Miller then compiles this in
formation into a report which
he circulates to all instructors
in the three math courses.
The instructors are then
able to determine what sub
ject materials need emphasis
in class and what students in
his class are using the pro
gram. If he discovers a poor
student isn't taking advantage
of the counseling opportunity,
he can then encourage him to
do so.
"There is no penalty if a
student doesn't use the coun
seling program," said Miller.
"Neither does he receive any
extra credit if he does take
advantage of it. Using t h e
program doesn't affect t h e
student's grade in any way
except what he learns from
it," he said.

"We must cut out the ridic
ulous stamps of pro-white
and pro-Negro, and become
what really counts p r o-hu-man."
These were the words used
by John Howard Griffin in
concluding his address to an
overflow crowd in the Student
Union Ballroom yesterday.
Griffin, author of the best
selling book "Black Like
Me," gave an account of the
Negro situation in the South
today based upon his experi
ences while living there dis
guised as a Negro.
Union officials estimated
that nearly 1,200 people
crowded into the ballroom for
the address, while another
1,500 were turned away.
Griffin undertook his dan
gerous disguise as a result
of the answers he recieved
from Negroes when he ques
tioned them concerning a
study he was making on the
rising rate of Negro suicides
in the South.
Most of the Negroes refused
to answer the questions be
cause they expressed a dis
trust of a white man's ability
to fairly interpret any infor
mation concerning Negroes.
Some of them told him the
only way he would ever be
Journalism
Friday promises to be a
memorable day for Nebras
ka high school journalists.
It's the day of the 33rd an
nual convention of the Ne
braska High School Press
Association here.
"The "J-Convention" was
one of the high spots of the
year in the memory of some
convention alumni, now stu
dents at the University.
The session at the Universi
ty will begin early Friday for
many of the expected 800 stu
dents and advisors who will
attend. The first meeting does
not start until 9 a.m., but stu
dents from as far away as
Gering and Scottsbluff are
coming, so there will be long
bus, car or train rides for
many convention goers.
After they arrive in Lincoln,
the students must have
enough energy for the day of
workshops, tours and meet
ings. The session concludes
with a banquet, where awards
will be presented to top-ranking
student publications.
Although they remembered
the convention as an enjoy
able and exciting experience,
students who attended former
conventions emphasized that
it provided practical experi
ence as well.
"Student presentations
about yearbooks were very
helpful to me," Deanna Groct
zinger said. "I liked hearing
how other people solved some
of the same problems we had
with our yearbook. It was
more than just theory."
The convention includes
workshops and sectional meet
ings on the subjects of stu
dent newspapers and year
books. These may be conduc
ted by high school journalism
instructors. University School
of Journalism faculty, or staff
of the University's student
newspaper or yearbook.
Sometimes the students at
tending the convention may
have a hand in the program.,

of a newspaper workshop

Negroes' problems was if "he
should awaken some morning
to find his skin was black."
Griffin cited three other mo
tives which prompted him to
change his skin color. He
wanted to see if "racism"
does exist, he wanted to gain
first-hand knowledge concern
ing the extent of racial prej

about the children of today

He undertook skin treat
ments in New Orleans to
change his skin color, and
then traveled as a Negro
through the states of Louisi
ana, Mississippi, Alabama
and Georgia.
"I stepped into a land hos
tile to the color of my skin,"
Griffin said. "I didn't know
how to act or what to do.
I no longer had white friends
in the South."
Several times Griffin was
turned away from jobs which
he was qualified to fill. "I
changed nothing but the color
of my skin," Griffin said.
"I kept my name and told
no lies when questioned. I was
still the same person. For

excuses why I couldn't have

Griffin said he discovered
two significant things while
living as a Negro.
Negro Stereotype
"I ceased being regarded as
as a human individual in the
community," he said. "I was
imprisoned in a stereotype in
which we consider all Ne
groes." Because of this treatment,
which they receive, Griffin
found that Negroes reveal
themselves to one another
much more than whites ever
do.
They learn to be wary of
whites who express open
friendliness to them.
They know that the "good
whites" do not bother the Ne
gro, but that the "GWB"
(Great White Buddy) usually
attempts to make friends with
the Negro for an ultimate im
moral goal. They usually ask
the Negro to get them a date

ways of attaining immoral
goals.

cribed the whites as "much
more democratic in their sin
ning than they are in their
worship."
Griffin also learned what is
known as the "system."
An invisible but universal
ly known code exists between
Southern whites and Negroes
concerning the way each is
to be treated by the other
and what rights the Negro is
to have and what ones he
isn't to have.
Accepted Barriers
There are known and ac
cepted barriers to the Negro
in areas such as knowledge,
the right to vote, protection
of the law, etc.
Griffin said that he is find
ing that people are prone to
mistake a racial problem as
a problem of a suppressed
group. "We have become a
nation of exceptions to prin
ciples," he said.
Griffin described Mississip

"The white who stands up for
the Negro is no safer there
than is the Negro," he said.
Griffin expressed his great
est hope as being that "peo
ple will become concerned
with the racial situation." He
urged the elimination of the
pro-race labels. "If we don't
do this," he said, "don't pity
the Negro. Pity America."
