Student Council yesterday
accepted procedures made by
the Constitutional Convention
ior the Elections Committee
in the 1965 general spring elec
tion for Student Association.
John Lydick, president of
Student Council, explained
that if the new Constitution is
passed, the Elections Commit
tee would follow these proce
dures made by the Constitir
tion, but after this year the
elections will be under the
new Electoral Commission.
An amendment to the mo
tion will allow the Election
Committee this year and the
Electoral Commission in furth
er years to add anything ad
ditional to the election proce
dures provided that Student
Council approves.
The new procedures for
elections concern filing,, pub
licity and campaigning, bal
loting procedures and count
ing procedures.
Filings for the spring gen
eral election will open the
first Monday in April and
close on Saturday noon of the
same week. Applications will
be filed in the office of the
Dean of Student Affairs.
The total expenditures for
any campaigning by one can
didate shall not exceed $75
and the candidate shall pre
sent to the Electoral Com
mission an itemized report of
bis campaign expenditures.
Candidates will have the
right to speak, publish and
distribute printed material
freely, -subject only to the re
straints of slander and libel.
No candidate will be de
prived of his rights to as
semble students in any public
place, subject only to the re
straints imposed by city and
state law and by the by-laws
of the Board of Regents of
the University.
Elections will be held the
Wednesday following the first
Saturday in May and separ
ate ballots shall be prepared
for each college. The names
of all candidates for the presi
dency and vice-presidency and
the names of all college can
didates for Senate will be ar
ranged in alphabetical order.
All parts of the election pro
cedure will be subject to the
Organic Act of the Senate.
Lydick said that these pro
cedures were originally a part
of the new Constitution, but
were now part of the by-laws.
He said that the Faculty Sen
ate had suggested that they
become part of the by-laws so
that they could be changed
when necessary easily.
The new Constitution will be
voted on next Friday by the
whole student body of the
University.
The Council also passed a
motion to fully support and
encourage students to take
part in Peace Corps Week

ington, D.C. staff, spoke to the
Council and described the

program that will take place
starting Monday.
He said that Peace Corps
speakers would be available
to speak in any living unit or
class. He also pointed out that
there would be a large Peace
Corps information center in
the Union and that Peace
Corps information center in
ed next Wednesday.
"We encourage everyone
who is interested in the Peace
Corps to come down and ask
us questions and talk over the
Peace Corps with us," Adams
said.
John Kenagy, Senators Com
mittee chairman, said that the
potential dates for the Ne
braska legislature's visit to
the University are March 18,
22, 23 and 24.
He said the senators will

'Heartbreak House1
To Open March 25
A sharp, witty satire with a serious message, but many
uproariously funny moments.
This is a description of Bernard Shaw's "most timely
play " "Heartbreak House which will begin at the Univer
sity Theatre March 25.
The play, which is now approaching the technical stage
of rehearsal, was written in 1913 just before World War I.
It deals with the vices and futility of the people in England
before the war.
For example, two of h i s
characters depict a rich cap
tain of industry who is a typi
cal capitalist, Mangan (Dean
Tschetter) and a girl who
needs money to have a soul,
Ellie Dunn (Bobbie Kier-
stead).
Shaw himself is supposed to
have said that the play sym
bolizes England as a drifting
ship with all passengers and
crew failing to face up to the
danger of rudderlessness.
Called his "most timely
play," its message about the
apathy, selfishness and world
liness of mankind that can
lead to false values and pur
poses in life can still be ap
plicable today.
Shaw would not allow the
play to be produced during
the war because he said one
can't make war on war and
cn your neighbors at the same
time."
While having a definite
message, the play like Shaw
is also optimistic. Many
scenes such as the one where
Captain Shotover's (Andy
Backer) daughter commonly
accepts the fact that he is
carrying dynamite around the
house, are full of humor and
wittiness.
This play, which has been
done very few times by Uni
versity students, has already
taken two weeks of constant
rehersal by the actors. There
are ten students in the cast.
Professor Steven Cole, who
is spending his first year at
Nebraska, is director of the
play. Charles Howard is the
set designer and technical di
rector.
"Heartbreak House" is the
third of four plays and one
opera which the University
Theatre is giving this year.
The next production will be
"Anthony and Cleopatra" in
May.
East Union To Hold

A Talent Parade will be
held at the East Union Activ
ities Building Sunday at 7:30

WATCHING ALL THE GIRLS GO BY ... Or are the girls watching these two
early sunworshippers who took advantage of yesterday's warmer temperatures to "tan"
winter white skin.
of Students Sfislc
By Rich Meier
Junior Staff Writer
Increasing numbers of students are
seeking psychiatric help across the na
tion, according to Dr. Clay Gerken, head
of University Counseling Service.
"Most land grant, or state colleges,
have a vocationally oriented environment
al press," said Gerken. "But a college
such as Swarthmore doesn't care much
about this sort of thing, they are more
intelleptually inclined. There also are col
leges whose primary concern is to train
the student in the special way of becom
ing a social animal."
The specific pressure on the campus
may be oriented in many different direc
tions. Parental pressures play a big role in
forming what the environmental pressure
of the campus is to be.
In the conservative Midwest the stu
dent is cautioned to be a moral animal
or at least not to get caught. Parents
feel very strongly that their offspring
should not become involved with dissent
ing groups.
For example, when Dick Gregory
was here, be told of parents refusing to
post bail for their own sons because they
had forbidden them to get involved with
the Civil Rights movement.
Connected with this is the pressure to
get good grades. Students are to study
hard, get good grades, not necessarily to
learn, but to get good grades, and there
fore get a good job. If the student gets
too involved with something else, then
his grades will suffer. The student must
understand this conflict in order to cope
with it.
Take, for example the student who
did well in science and math in high
school, and decides about 10th grade he is
going to be an engineer. He comes to the
University and gets satisfactory grades
his first year.
He is doing okay, but he feels un
easy. He is not sure of himself, but all
his friends know he is going to be an en
gineer, likewise his parents, girlfriend,
aunt and uncle. He thinks he Is expected
to become an engineer, but feels uneasy
about it.
The counseling service can help him
to ask new questions of himself.
In order to help, the University coun
seling service is dedicated to the idea that
college should be satisfying, productive
and rewarding. The normal college stu
dent is helped to understand, and not
stand, the pressures he encounters.
"The Counseling psychologist has a
professional obligation to function as an
applied behavioral scientist on the cam
pus, in deliberation with others who con
trol the variables that facilitate or re
tard student growth," said Gerken.
The behavioral scientist can investi
gate the college community in the same
way the behavioral scientist has investi
gated the south sea islander. "He looks
upon it as a chunk of real estate, from
the outside. In other words, he uses the
'man from Mars approach'," pointed out
Gerken.
"One can discover a lot about the col
lege community through this approach
and a lot of research is being done in
the area now," he said. "There is much
investigation to find out what the vari
ables are that make a difference in the
lives of the students. Why does the stu
dent change, or fail to change?"
The student will change. Many more
change their major before they graduate,
than those who remain consistant.
The University Counseling Service
helps any student who is having problems
with change, pressures, realization of his
own goal, and even trying to define his
own goal.
Students come to the Counseling ser
vice simply because they have questions
to ask.
"The college years are commonly a
time when a person wonders about him
self, about what he is doing and why,
about what kind of person he is and is
becoming, about what his relationships
are with other people, and how others
see those relationships, about his field of
study and future occupation and about
lifetime goals," says the counseling ser
vice's bulletin.
"Fundamentally, vie help the student
to ask of himself the appropriate ques
tions," said Gerken.
"These are troubled times for stu
dents," he said. "If we can help him to
understand not stand these pressures,
then he will be able to cope a little better."

New Group
Encourages
Coed Travel
A new organization to revo
lutionize coed student travel
has been launched from New
York City. It is Trans-Atlantic
Student Association with
offices at 387 Park Avenue
South.
The Trans-Atlantic Student
Association (TRASA) was
formed by a group of recent
college graduates to remove
the frustrations of student
travel and to bring overseas
travel within the budset of ev
ery student in the United
btates.
Special features of the
TRASA plan include financing
for vacations, air transport
arrangements, group tours
and accommodation in major
European cities for TRASA
members. In addition, the or
ganization will oncrate a stu
dent nightclub in New York
Litv and will provide students
with a wide variety of travel
services, advice and publica
tions.
It has reciprocal club facil
ities in maior Euronean cit
ies where its members can
meet European students and
take part in genuine European
student life. In this wav.
TRASA's organizers believe
a European visit will become
more worthwhile.
The organization will pub
lish twelve travel guides this
summer and plans to arrange
travel for some twenty thou
sand students to Europe, the
Caribbean and Israel be
tween June and August this
year.
A representative of TRASA
described its functiens this
way: "More and more, trav
el is an Integral Dart of th
college curriculum ana any
student who does not venture
abroad finds himself not only
having missed the pleasure
and excitement of a vacation
overseas, but also is at a de
cided disadvantage in his
studies."
The spokesman went on to
explain that TRASA would be
able to achieve uniquely low
prices because of its 1 a r g e
membership and (Comprehen
sive approach to the problems
of students when traveling.
