Computer Dance Aims
To 'Mechanize Mating9
The computer with a
heart will be in action again
pairing mates at the sec
ond annual computer dance
Nov. 19.
More than 2,000 computer
questionnaires have been
ordered by the Builder's
SEED committee for Its
mechanized mating com
puter dance to be held in
the Nebraska Union ball
room. Instead of letting love
come naturally, University
students will allow a com
puter to make the selection.
The dance will be held
In the Nebraska Union Ball
room. According to SEED com
mittee assistant Jean Va
koc, many of the problems
which plagued last year's
dance have been corrected.
Improved Questionnaire
The questionnaire indicat
ing a student's individual
Interests has been improved
and expanded. Students
must turn in a completed
questionairre before they
may buy a ticket.
The committee will weigh
the questions and give a to
tal score. This score will
put the student in a cer
tain interest category from
which the partners are se
lected. The one-dollar tickets will
be sold in the Nebraska Un
ion and at the East Campus
Union. "J. Harrison B. and
the Bumbles" will play at
the dance.
Problems last year's
dance included individuals
selecting partners not on
their list, or else staying
with the same partner all
evening, according to Miss
Vakoc.
She said that this year
a closer count will be kept
on the number of tickets
sold to each sex and a
checker, will match the part

boys were given a list of
three numbers, the evening
being broken into three seg
ments. Girls were directed into
a certain room and the boys
went into the room to match
numbers with their lists.
'Over-rate Selves'
Many of the students on
campus have varying
views on the concept of the
computerized dances.
Dennis Kuenning, sopho
mor in pharmacy, said that
"students have a tendency
to over-rate themselves in
order to look good or they
do not really know what
their interests are."
"When students fail to
answer the questionnaire
honestly, they naturally get
stuck with partners who
are not really suitable," he
said.
A notable example of this
occured several years ago
at the University of Mary
land, He said, when broth
ers and sisters were paired
together, two people of the
same sex were paired or
students were paired with
non-existent partners.
A coed living in Pound
Hall said "The dance pre
sents an opportunity to real
ly meet someone of the op
posite sex who does have
the same interests as you
do."
"Computer dances are
used as crutches by people
who are just too shy to
meet people of the opposite
sex on their own initiative,"
said a history graduate stu
dent. A girl who attended last
year's dance said, "I think
that someone drew the
names of my partners out
of a hat. Not one of them
had anything in common
with me except that they
were, like me, at t h e
dance."
Miss Vakoc said that the
proceeds of the dance will
end of the month, most vet
erans will be paid for-the'
month of September.
With that check, the vet
eran will receive a Month
ly Certification of Attend
ance card for October.
A Monthly Certification of
Attendance card will be re
ceived with each subsequent
check.
Chubb said that "in most
cases the first check will be
only a portion of the usual
monthly check, since shools
did not have a full month's
session in September."
Chubb said some veterans
had experienced delays in
receiving their first checks
during the summer session.

She explained that this
program is one whereby the
student body votes on a

the winner will be presented
with a $500 award.

can be taken by white com
munities in cooperation with
the goals of black power.
Spangler stated that each
of the panelists will give a
short speech concerning his
organizational and personal
position on the black power
concept. Cross-comments and
qnesitons from the audience
will follow.
The teach-in is expected to
draw people from throughout
the Great Plains as well as
local inhabitants.
Government To Pay Share
Of Loan Interest Charges
(NAPS) The federal gov
ernment is paying a big
share of the interest
charges under a new stu
dent loan program estab
lished by Public Law 89-329.
Students will pay less in
.terest Jtha n , the bankV
"prime rate" extended to"
such large-scale borrowers
as General Motors or Du
Pont. In fact, the interest
will be less than one bank
pays to another for borrow
ing. Bankers and private lend
ers making the loans say
that while about 85 per cent
of all college students will
be eligible, finding a source
of funds is going to be the
real problem in today's
"tight-money" market.
The bankers say that with
the late publicity of the
loans, the lenders might be
swamped with applications,

junior IFC To Gather
Budget Data For Voter
An educational program
concerning the University
budget and aimed at Nebras
ka voters is the number one
project of the Junior Inter
fraternity Council, according
to Dave Landis, president,
Sigma Chi.
Other new officers pushing
the program, Landis said, are
Ray Novotny, vice-president,
Delta Upsilon; Jim Gunlicks,
secretary, Phi Kappa Psi;
and Bruce White, treasurer,
Sigma Alpha Mu.
Landis said the Junior IFC
will write up a report pre
senting what various Univer
sity departments are doing
and how the tax dollar is
being returned to Nebraskans.
The study is being done in
conjunction with the Student
Senate Legislative Liaison
Committee.
He said the Junior IFC
would also find out from de
partment heads what the pro
posed University budget
would mean to the quality of
education produced at the
University.
The study is being coordi
nated by Jeff Reinking, com
mittee chairman.
"We consider this to be our
primary project this year,"
Landis said.
The Junior IFC is also try
ing to encourage inter-pledge
class social events, Landis
said. The program will be
initiated with a smoker for
pledge class presidents and
social chairmen at the Delta
Upsilon house Oct. 30.
"We will explain the advan
tages of inter-pledge class
social events "at 'that time,"
Landis said. He noted that
inter-pledge class social
events "are financially bet
ter, and give pledges a
chance to meet and become
home buyers seeking to bor
row funds.
Bankers say that early
application is therefore im
portant in the student's
chances of securing a loan.
A formula determine ."ad

If family income is too

acquainted with other pledge
classes." He said that this
type of activity helps smaller
pledge classes which are not
financially able to hold large
social events.
Another project or the Jun
ior IFC, Landis said, is to im
prove relations with high
schools, "especially the guid
ance sections and principals."
He said the Junior IFC
hopes to send its members to
high schools to speak with
guidance counselors and prin
cipals and explain to .them
the advantages of fraternity
life.
The Junior IFC will also be
seeking to improve its dor
mitory relations. One sugges
tion, which has been ad
vanced, he said, is to have
dormitory members attend a
fraternity meeting.
The Junior IFC has already
completed a fact sheet ex
plaining the Alpha Tau Ome
ga Help Week trophy, Landis
said. The fact sheet, prepared
by Dave Rasmussen, commit
tee chairman, explains the
criteria for judgement, objec
tives and suggestions for the
Help Week trophy.
Landis said the Junior IFC
is again putting out the book
let, "New Faces on Sorority
Row."
But this year fraternity
pledge class pictures have
been added tr the book in
cluding pictures of sorority
pledge classes.
"By doing this, we hope to
encourage more sales to soro
rity girls and bring in more
revenue," he said.
Two other projects, upcom
ing second semester, will be
the Junior IFC scholarship
and the Junior IFC Ball, Lan
dis added.
The formula for adjusted
family income may qualify
a student for an interest
subsidized loan even when
the family's gross income is
as higii as 20,000 dollars.
Commercial and savings
" banks, savings and loans
associations and credit un
ions are participating in the
program.
More information on the
program is available in the
University Office on Schol
arships and Financial Aids.
Up to 1,000 dollars a year
1,000. a year for graduate
graduate study and up to
1500 a year for graduate
study or professional school
in accredited colleges and
universities. Separate loans
are made for each academic
year.
Within nine to twelve
months the student begins
making monthly payments.
Each state guarantee agen
cy has its own repayment
regulations.

1 Consider Semesters
Of I WO tight-Week Halves
Curriculum changes,
Homecoming displays and
preparations, student govern
ment, elections and univer
sity financing are but a few
of the issues distracting stu
dents throughout the coun
try from their studies in re
cent weeks.
Curriculum changes are
being planned at Colorado,
the Colorado Daily reports.
The English departmen tand
many students would like
to see the freshman English
requirement abolished.
This is being considered
by student and administra
tion groups. -: ,
Halved Semester
A Colorado teacher has
also suggested dividing the
semester into two eight
week halves and having
students take two courses
intensively for eight weeks
rather than four courses for
sixteen.
He says it would permit
better and more concen
trated education.
Students should con-,
trol their irritation at vend
ing machines that d o n't
work, the Minnesota Daily
says.
Profits made by the vend
ing machines are used to
help pay building and ex
pansion costs. Eventually
they may be used to pro
vide scholarships for stu
dents. Steak Dinner
The Registrar and Vice
P r e s i d e n t of Oklahoma
State University bet a steak
dinner on whether enroll
ment would be under or
over 16,000. The figure as
of the deadline was 16,000
even.
The Registrar was saved
paying off the bet when
three students came to his
office at the deadline to
register. He called the Vsce
President, they admitted
the students and called off
the bet.
Alpha Phis at the Univer
sity of Kansas retaliated
for a Kappa Sigma trophy
raid by sitting in at the
fraternity house, reports
the University Daily Kan
san. Other houses which lost
trophies had not yet reta
liated but said that they
would.
Record Budget
The University of Minne

school's history, $67,030,207.,
according to the Minnesota
Daily.
Kappa Kappa Gamma's
at Colorado State University
have adopted a squad of

be stationed in Viet Nam.
The women plan to cor

Creighton students are

with 19 faculty members,
among the topics discussed
were Viet Nam, LSD, relig

Twenty finalists were se

living units. Then a group
consisting of eight male
campus leaders was em
ployed to observe daily the
finalists' general appear
ance and dress as they went
to their classes or meetings,
Pam Hedgecock, AWS
President explained.
The coeds were unaware
that they were being
watched by these different
boys, Miss Hedgecock
added.
A professional photograph
er was hired to take one
picture of each finalist, but
the girls were not given ad
vance notice as to when
the picture would be taken.
Selection of the winners
was based on the number of
votes they received from
the different living units,
the recommendations from
the group of boys and the
coeds' appearance in the
impromptu pictures, Miss
Hedgecock stated.
