Spaces Still Open On Union Ski Trip Room for 20 to 25 more stu dents is available for the Stu dent Union Ski Trip to be held over semester break from Feb. 3 to 7. These additional space need to be filled if the Union's trips and tours committee is to meet its Ski Trip budget, according to Bill Hansmire, Grants Offered For Math Institute An eight-week Institute in mathematics for high school teachers will be offered this summer at the University. The institute, to be financed by the National Science Foun dation, will be held during the regular summer session from June 14 to Aug. 5. Participants may recieve as much as eight college hours of credit in both undergradu ate and graduate work. Fort', $500 stipends will be offered to succesful high school teacher applicants. In addition, the stipends will pay $120 per dependent (up to four) and travel and tuition costs. Dr. Hubert Schneider, as sociate professor of mathe matics and institute director, said the courses are designed for persons who have had at least five years of teaching experience, and expect to teach at least one math course in the future. Schneider said the courses would be arranged for both those teachers whose under graduate preparation in math was weak, and for those who have already attended one of the summer institutes and wish to take advanced work. Interested applicants may write Schneider at the depart ment of rnathmalics before Feb. 15. j 1 jU iut. 4 assistant chairman of the committee. Cost of the trip will be $75. This includes transportation, I room and board, rental of j skis and ski lessons. The group will travel to Winter Park, Colo. Students may sign up for the trip in the Union pro gram office. A down payment of $35 is required at sign-up time. Hansmire urges all students who have already signed up for the trip that they should get their consent and waivers, their roommate preferences and their final payments in as soon as possible. A special orientation session for all those going on the trip will be held on Thursday, Jan. 14 at 7 p.m. in the Pan American room of the Union. Skiing and instruction movies will be shown and final di rections given at this meeting. "The Ski Trip is a great way to forget about final ex ams," Hansmire said. "I en courage any interested stu dents to sign up as soon as possible." NU Student To Serve As National President Charles Stewart, a Univer sity student, has been elected national president of Mu Ep silon Nu, honorary and pro fessional teaching fraternity. Stewart is enrolled In the advanced professional division of Teachers College. The Alpha chapter of Mu Epsilon Nu was founded at the University in 1958 and the Be ta chapter organized at Kear ney State last year. Chapters are being organ ized at Wayne State Teachers College, Iowa State University Oklahoma State University, the University of California and the University of Kansas. A proposal that extracur ricular activities, sports and hour exams be eliminated during the last week preced ing final examinations was "fairly well accepted" by the Faculty Senate, according to Student Council treasurer Skip Soiref. Soiref told the Council meet ing yesterday that the Dead Week proposal did not come to a vote in the faculty group, but that a spokesman for the Senate Calender and Fi nal Exams committee had as- surred him that students could probably expect good coopera tion from the faculty in re scheduling hour exams away from the final week. To rule when hour exams could be held would be an in fringement on academic free dom, but instructors may fol low the recommendation as they wish. The Student Coun cil welfare committee report was printed in two faculty bulletins, Soiref said. "It is now up to the Student Council to visit organizations, activities and intramurais asking their cooperation in making Dead Week a suc cess, he announced. Also concerning final exams was a report by Sue Wiles concerning the scheduling pe riod for finals. Miss Wiles said she attended a meeting of the Faculty calendar and final exams committee at which possible changes in the pres ent two-week examination pe riod were discussed. The necessity to schedule all finals in the set period has broueht the problem of finding time and space for all class sections, she said. The Lm- ersitv is currently operating at near-maximum capacity in this area. A m o n e the solutions dis cussed at the meeting were a faculty poll by departments to find the number of profes sors who de-emphasize tneir final exams, offering a last hour exam during the three hour period. If the number proved substantial, these pro fessors could be asked to give up their three-hour period. Miss Wiles suggested that if a large enough number of pro fessors would give a last hour exam during the regular semester, the final exam pe riod might conceivably be re duced to one week. Council resident John Ly- dick told the Council that all final committee reports are due at the last meeting of the semester next week. There will be no meeting the follow ing week, Dead Week. Two of the more significent reports to be presented are the first semester results of the public issues committee's discrimination study and the student welfare committee report on prices at local book stores. Di Kosman and Lydick, who attended the Big Eight Stu dent Government Association (BESGA) convention at Kan sas University last month, re ported that the BESGA had made several changes aimed at making the annual conven Scripts Available For Kosmet Klub Scripts are available for those interested in trying out for parts in the 1965 Kosmet Klub spring show, "The Un sinkable Molly Brown," Kos met Hub announced today. The scripts may be picked up in the Interfraternity Council office in the Student Union between noon and 5 p.m. A one dollar deposit is required for each script and will be refunded when the script is returned after try outs. Dates for the tryouts are Feb. 18, 19 and 21. Further information will be an nounced. No previous acting exper ience is necessary for any of the 63 parts to be cast for the show. Any questions may be directed to spring show chairman Jim Rader, 432-5079. Applications are also being accepted for the position of musk director of the show. Letters of appacation should list previous experience and qualifications, and should be mailed to Rader at 519 North 16th before Jan. 2L Letters should also contain a return address and phone number. The position is a paid one. 'Fairly Well' Received By Faculty- AfeeSc tion a form rather than a leg islative meeting. Among these changes were the elimination of the office of recording secretary, the lowering of annual dues from $100 to $75 and moving the date of the annual convention to before Nov. 1.

Included in these expenses fainAH hv thA foiwp isrioc of staff personnel, and dental supplies. The major portion of fi nance for research not direct ly connected to instruction comes from three sources, ac cording to Dr. Douglas de S h a z e r, research director. These include the National In- stitute of Dental Research, from which the largest por tion comes; a private individ ual; and private companies. For the College of Business : Administration, the budget re- auest before the Legislature breaks rinwn into fun mainr major areas. The first area is related to increase in enrollment now being experienced by the Col lege and the anticipated in crease for the next few years. "We have experienced a 16 per cent increase in under graduate enrollment, and there doesn't appear to be any sign f a lesser increase in the forthcoming year," Dean Charles Miller said. Earmarked for instruction purposes, the budget calls for $1,043,094 for the 1965-67 bi ennium. This is an increase of $251,301 over the 1963-65 bi ennium. New Girls Dorm To House 450 A nine-story girls dormi tory, housing 450, will be built south of Abel Hall, facing North 17th, and east of the existing George Cook Con struction Co. office building.

Abel Hall, accommodating 1,050 men students, will be completed before next fall. A similar schedule is antici pated for the smaller girls dormitory. Both are being financed by revenue bonds paid off by dormitory funds. -'11 miiiiirui,,ui.. ,1,. ,.-,,, , . . fciiMif i ) ,,w' "., . . , , . .. . . ,, 2 IIIIWWMhll IIMMIWM T:, - MMMmM OHbJV : WIM. if:,, M I III H Hill Ml ltll IW MMMWIW1 I V I IfTT 1 The lucky Cornhusker horseshoe spends its football season. rial tion of the BESGA and her confidence that the changes would mean a more effi cient organization.

Miller said that an increase in the salaries of present staff would be included because of I the highly competitive market ! for personnel. "There just doesn't seem to be enough instruction assist ants to go around," he said. "This makes for higher prices for new and present staff people." The second area in the Bus iness budget is to go to the ' Bureau of Business Research. This amount is $111,515. and the increase of $32,721 over 1S33-65 biennium. Aetivities in this area are to be exnanded somewhat for i the purnase of fiirtherinff the ' economic develnDment of the i State of Nebraska, to Miller. i "If we can expand the Bu - ; reau we can accommodate re - ; quests for studies and do some of the things we want to ac - ' complish," he said. Under the Bureau, Miller listed three major programs to be begun or expanded. These included: j Development of an econom ic inventory of the State; a ! market area study in t h i Mate; and updating am, x pansion of statistical informa tion made available to t h e business community of Ne braska. While all the programs un der the Bureau are not new, they are classified as normal workings under the Bureau, Miller said. New studies are continually being made. A unique problem of t h e Business College, Miller point ed out, is the fact that com petition for staff personnel is so keen. "We are not onlv recruiting in competition wit other col ,eSes ' Downefci. Ui in corn i I'CUIMIU n llll OIIUII busines- ses and industries he said. A major problem of the Col lege is that students and fac ulty are being squeezed for space, according to Miller. "We can only convert a lim ited number of classrooms in to office spaces and we feel that this saturation point has j been reached," he said.

A three-member committee was organized by Lydick to study the pep and spirit situa tion at this University with special emphasis on a mascot and school yell. Lydick said he was quite impressed with the enthusiasm generated by spirit tactics used by Univer sity of Arkansas students at the Cotton Bowl. Appointed to the committee were Pam Hedgecock, Mike Barton and Bill Hayes. Lydick briefly presented a pamphlet distributed by t h e Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA).

Deadline Tomorrow : For Pre-Registration All pre-registration for sec ond semester should be com pleted by tomorrow, accord ing to Mrs. Irma Laase, assis tant re gi star. Students should receive their class assignment reports by next week. For those who did not include alternative courses on their registration s h e et or the alternate courses were filled, letters wiu De inciuaea m meir ciass assignment reports noting that the student will have to complete registration during the drop and add period, she said. Socioligy 109, political sci ence 108, psycology 187 and all the advanced English courses I were filled quite early, Mrs. Laase said. "There were no real prob lems with registration this semester," she said, although not every one could be regis tered for the classes they wanted. "There are probably fewer political science 100 level courses offered because of a staff shortage problem," she said. first winter snowlessly Freshman Exam At Pershing They'll march to Pershing over 3,800 of them will de scend on the auditorium on Saturday, Jan. 23 3,800 freshmen English students. It all started because the freshmen English exam was scheduled for the last day of finals, Feb. 3. Because Eng lish 1 and 2 classes are the largest at the University, and the final exams are machine graded it was decided, even in this age of machines, that it would be too great a bur den to get all the exams cor rected, then recorded by the deadline. Another problem was the difficulty of completing regis tration for second semester without the results of the first semester freshmen Eng lish exams. The Faculty Committee that handles the dates for final examinations found Sat urday, Jan. 23, the Saturday preceding the regularly scheduled final exams, to be the only available earlier date which would ease the burden of correcting over 3,800 exams in the last few hectic days of the semester. With the setting of the date another problem arose. On the 23rd the Huskers will play Oklahoma State in the coliseum the usual fresh- I men English final exam cen- exams, put up the bleachers and be ready in time for the basketball game. The problem was to find a place to take 3,800 freshman English students for their fi nal exam. Ned Hedges, as sistant to the director of freshman English, said, "The people at Pershing were gra cious enough to allow us to have the exam there." Dr. Carl Schneider, chair man of the political science department said, "There may be one section less of one course because the professor is doing research, but added another section in another course so it should come out about the same." He said it is true there are not. pnnirfh snafps in the ser. ;tions because enrollment has gone up and the number of staff members has not. "We are trying to keep the enrollment down in the politi cal science classes so that writing and outside reading assignments can be kept in the scope of the courses. We could accept everyone but then we would have to change the character of the course and we don't think that is sound educational policy," he said. Bills for the tuition payment will be mailed to students Jan. 15, Mrs. Laase said. The bills must be paid by mail by Jan. 22. waiting for another i s-
