The senators approved executive appoint ments for the presidential and Student Sen ate assistants, Student Tribunal, Publications Board and several committees. The executive appointments included Tom Briggs, director of records; Cathy Shattuck, recording secretary; Carol Johnson, corres ponding secretary; and Andrea Warren, treasurer. The new members of Student Tribunal are Dick Newton, Cathy Shattuck and San dra Calmer, all seniors next year; and Lynn Overholt, Max Martin and Rob Langford, all juniors next year.

Committee chairmanship appointments which were approved include Elaine Kallos, centennial committee; Ladd Lonnquist, facul ty course evaluation; Bob Samuelson, student conduct; and Kris Bitner, Stillman Project. In other business at the meeting, a mo tion was passed endorsing Ticket Manager Jim Pittenger's proposed method of football ticket sales for the school year of 1966-67. Pfeifer, who introduced the motion, point ed out that many students had been upset about the distribution of tickets earlier this year, and because of the work of Bob Sam uelson, Pittcngcr had agreed to change the distribution method. He noted that under Pittenger's proposed plan, full-time students now on campus will i w?rr f "" Cfr &jt 1 DORMITORY SPACE ... at NU will be at a premium next year. The University director contracts for ail dorm space will have been filled by the end of May. Summer Sessions Dorms Though the summer may be long and hot, students going to summer school and living on campus, will study in cool, air conditioned comfort. According to Edward Bryan, director of University housing, air conditioned Cather and Pound Halls will be open for students attending summer school. He estimated that Cather would adequately fill the requirements for male students, but Pound could be a little "tight" In accommo dating women. Any overflow of women will be housed in Piper. "As to living in off-campus apartments, the same regula tions apply as during the school year," explained Bry an. "Women desiring to live in apartments must secure per mission from Dean Snyder. The apartment facilities must also be approved and the re quired supervision provided." For freshman and soph omore men, or those under twenty-one, the requirements for off campus apartments are that they meet University standards of physical and su pervisory provisions. For oth er men, the apartment must be approved by the University on the basis of its physical ac commodations. The physical requirements for an approved apartment in clude a place to study and no health hazards. Bryan stated that a health hazard often found is two people sleeping In a double bed. Bryan said that many stu dents get an apartment for summer school and then re tain it for the regular school iiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii be permitted to purchase student football tick ets during the week of May 16-20. Non full-time students now on campus would purchase tickets in the fall, as would new students and entering freshmen. Another motion passed by the Senate sup ports the choosing of a delegate for the Na tional Student Leadership Institute in New York June 11-18. Sen. Kris Bitner, who introduced the mo tion and attended the institute last summer, explained that it is closely connected with the Collegiate Council for United Nations. She said that the school's delegate will be briefed at the United Nations on world policy and problems. The delegate, she ex plained, should return to the University ready to help set up United Nations projects on this campus. Interviews for the University's delegate will be held Friday. The University Young Democrats elected Sabra McCall and Bruce Mason as their president and vice-president for 1966-67, at an election meeting Wednesday night. Outgoing president Tom Bootlic gave an executive report on the activities of the Young Democrats during the past year. Miss McCall urged better communications between the Central Committee and the membership, and an improvement in the cotn mittce system. She also advocated closer co operation, with other Young Democrat groups around the State. The University Young Democrats are an arm of the regular Democratic party. Dur ing election campaigns, members do much of the grass-roots work for their candidates. The University YD Club received a letter of appreciation from Senator Ted Kennedy for their reception for him during his visit. Prepare year. In addition some of the faculty sub-lease their apart ments to students for the summer. He stated that the actual count of residence hall con tracts received for s u m m e r school is misleading because it is a "tradition" at the Uni versity that dormitory space and registration are not ap plied for until the day before summer school begins. "More women seem to ap ply for dormitory space in the Masquers Honors To Be Presented Acting, directing, playwrit ing and production awards will be presented to students for their work in University and Laboratory Theatre plays at the 22nd annual Masquers Award Banquet on May 28 at the Lincoln Hotel. According to Richard Maulsby, Masquers president, awards will also be presented to the outstanding freshman in University Theatre and to those who have "distinguished themselves for outstanding service to the Masquers and the University Theatre dur ing the year." New members of Masquers will be tapped at the banquet and new workers announced. The Purple Masque award will also be presented. Maulsby explained that the Purple Masque is the highest award that the University Theatre can bestow on its students and faculty members. Positions I YD's Elect For Students summer than men," explained Bryan. "This is probably be cause they like to have every thing nearby, they like the accommodations and having the food prepared for them." Plans call for the utilization of Piper Hall for the freshman summer orientation program: "But we would like to u s e Sandoz Hall if we could be cause the number of freshman participating in summer orientation is increasing so rapidly that we need larger accommodations. Besides it is air conditioned." A basketball workshop will be held at the University in June and the players will be housed in Selleck Quadrangle. The program consists of three one week sessions. All-State students will be housed in Selleck for one month during the summer. Girls' Staters will live in the south half of Selleck for one week. About 350 girls are ex pected to attend. Boys' State will be held at the Nebraska Center on the East campus for one week. They will move into the space used for almost the entire summer by an eight week teaching program for teach ers from schools in this area. During Boys' State, these teachers will be moved to Fedde Hall. A group of 4-H members will also live on East Campus during the summer, however this will not be until the time of the State Fair. They will be housed in Burr Hall. Girls going through rush week will be housed in Wom en's Residence Halls. Two bOFOntlCS .Despite Advisor Protest9 "Neither the key system, as passed by the AWS Board, nor the maximum security lock, chosen by the Senior Key Committee, were decided upon until after the Panhel lenic Advisory Board met and drafted their letter opposing the key system." This was the statement made by a Senior Key Com mittee member, noting that the advisory board had made a decision before the actual details of the key system were worked out. "Nor did the advisory com mittee contact any member of the Senior Key Committee or the AWS Board about the key system," added the com mittee member. The ' Panhellenic Advisory Board has written a protest letter to the Faculty Senate Student Affairs Committee stating that after weighing the advantages and disadvantages of the key proposal, it had "unanimously decided to pro test its acceptance." The Key Committee is send ing three copies of the infor mation, to be presented to the Faculty Senate commit tee, to house presidents one of these to be given to the so rority's corporation board and another to the advisory board in an effort to explain the pro posal to the boards. of housing predicts that sororities who are presently without houses of their own will have an area in Selleck for them to center their rush activities. The men's rush program will be centered, this year, in Abel Hall. The change from Selleck was necessitated be cause over 750 men are ex pected to go through rush week and they can be better provided for at Abel. In addi tion the hall is air conditioned and the food facilities are bet ter suited to handle that num ber of people. Delta Delta Delta Scholarships Go To 3 NU Women Three University coeds have been named as winners of the Delta Delta Delata 1966 Scholarship competition. Leeta Hurich, sophomore majoring in journalism; Con nie Sinkler, junior majoring in Spanish; and Judy Trumble, junior majoring in food and nutrition were each awarded one semester's tuition for the next school term. The applicants were judged on their academic records, contributions to campus life, financial need and promise of valuable service to the com munity in their chosen fields. All full-time undergraduate women who would be enrolled in the University for the fall semester were eligible to apply for these annual schol arships given by the local chapter of Tri-Delt. Sorority houses contacted by the Daily Nebraskan were 'generally in favor" of the key proposal. However, many houses expressed concern that they were not contacted or asked about their feelings on the proposal. Susan Baade, president of Alpha Chi Omega, said that most of the girls in her house "really do want the key sys tem." She said that another chapter on another campus has a similar key system, but they would have to write to the national headquarters to get permission. In reply to charges in the advisory board's letter that this attempt at changing rules could be equally challenged and rewritten to suit the activist minority of students, Miss Baade said, "The girls are not the activist type." "We feel this is a responsi bility to handle our own lives without t h e Administration acting as a p a re n t," she added. "It is very degrading to girls who are mature to be locked in the house after 9 p.m." She noted that after she had talked to their faculty advisor and explained the rules, the advisor "was in complete agreement that we could have it." Many girls said they didn't Most Of Fall Contracts For Dormitories Filled By Randy Irey Junior Staff Writer "Housing Cor next fall is rapidly filling up and by the end of the month we will have contracted as much as we can," according to Edward Bryan director of University housing. "As of May 5, out of W14 spaces for men, 1656 have been contracted for, and 1600 out of 2151 spaces for women have been filled," he said. Bryan said that between now and next fall over 600 contracts will be cancelled, so his office always contracts for more space than they have in anticipation of these cancellations. "Men's housing is tight and some will be forced to live off-campus. Some of the soph omores who presently live in the residence halls have con tracted to live away from the campus. About 50 of the men are returning to Abel and a little more than that to Cather. "Unfortunately, it is the new freshman who is most often hurt by the lack of hous ing. They come to Lincoln with their parents not know ing w h e r e to look or for what," explained Bryan. Women's housing should be adequate with the opening of Sandoz Hall and the continued use of Nettleton Manor. Net tleton Manor is run by the Lincoln School of Commerce and provides housing for about sixty girls. Future plans call for t h e building of a new dormitory complex, Droviding space for around 1500 students. The second bids were received and the contract should be let in the near future stated Bry an. Plans call for three build ings to be built, similar to Sandoz Hall, and connected to a central food unit. The complex is set for completion by fall of 1967. "We hope to build a com plex such as this every two years until we have" space for 10,000 students on-campus. "Our problem is to b u i 1 d facilities which will adapt themselves to the future and lend themselves to the pro cess of education. I feel that our present facilities fulfill these requirements," ex pressed Bryan. We get our money for t h e construction of these c o m plexes from the sale of bonds," he explained. "We meet the bond and interest re quirements in the $725 charge for room and board. In this manner we are a self-liquidating operation. "People living in the new JT aVOl have all these restrictions when they were at home, com mented Karen Hastings, pre sident of Alpha Delta Pi. "I don't think the girls would abuse the key system," she added. "I think the alumni representative on the Panhel lenic Advisory Board should definitely reconsider her de cision." Rita Oestmann, president of Alpha Omicron Pi, said that with the change in the AWS rules, a dimmer view will probably be taken of the key proposal. She stressed that the girls were not in favor of the key proposal just because of the extended hours, but more for having late hours on spe J-Students To Work On Six Newspapers Students from the Univer sity's School of Journalism will be publishing newspapers and picture pages for six Ne braska papers next week. Fifty-three journalism stu dents will be sent to Holdrege, McCook, Ogallala, North Platte, Kearney and Grand residence halls pay for the building and will continue to do so for the next forty years. By that time, it is paid and housing payments will be channeled into other buildings not yet built. "The important thing is that we do not use one penny of state money. In fact, t h e operation of the dormitories generates three per cent of the income for the operation of the University. We pay for any increase in expense that we create by building new dormitories. The cost to the individual is only three dollars per day for room and board. Where else can a student live this cheap Jy in Lincoln?" he said. According to Bryan, the op eration of residence halls is a big business. He estimated that their operation provides S2 million dollars to the econo my of Lincoln. "It is unfortunate that we build dormitories before we can build classrooms, but as long as the University fol lows the policy of admitting everyone, we must continue to find space for them to live. "We can generate our own funds, but the professors must depend on the Legisla ture to provide for a class room. We will only stop build ing residence halls when the Legislature tells the Univer sity to stop admitting s t u dents. "The building of dormitor ies does not conflict with the building of classrooms. The money for classrooms comes from tax revenues, and in or der to correct the shortage of classrooms, the people must become more cognizant of the need for more classrooms." Incumbents Are Regents Candidates Candidates on the Novem ber ballot for the Board of Regents elected in the pri mary election Tuesday were incumbent Clarence Swanson and Edward ' Schwarzkopf, both of Lincoln. Leading in the second dist rict were Elmer Peterson, Richard Herman and Robert Jchnson. Not all returns had been completed Wednesday afternoon. The top two will be placed . on the ballot for the November election. Only two seats on the Re gents' Board were to be filled. Seccni District incumbent', J. LeRoy Welsh, did not run. Keys cial occasions such as Kosmet Klub and theater rehearsals. While noting that she would talk to their representative on the advisory board, she said both their corporation board and alumni advisory board were more in favor of the pro posal after she had explained the rules and workings of the key system. "I think the use of the key is being overemphasized," said Carolyn Freeman, presi dent of Kappa Kappa Gamma. "They will not use it to stay out until 5 every night, but will use it for convenience." She said she thought that the maturity of the college coed was being understated. Cont. on pg. 5, Col. 6 Island to publish the local newspaper.
