n F1 n A van (Bows mm Over 3000 RoomsFound For Students Many Families Still Homeless Approximately 3,000 rooms have been located for university stu dents for the current school year, Ed Smith, new director of hous ing, announced today. "The situation for single stu dent's housing has been settled very satisfactorily," Smith com mented. "There have been enough rooms , for everyone. Students should be grateful to the people of Lincoln for the way they have responded to our pleas for rooms before school started." Madrid Students Homeless. However, the situation for the' married students is not so bright. Many of the married students are still looking for places to live. Huskerville, the university hous ing unit for married students, is full and has a waiting list of 150 to 200 families. About 50 other families who are not eligible for residence at Huskerville are also homeless. Many of these famlies are crowded into a single -room or with someone they know., Some married students have sent their families home while still others have given up attend ing the university. Rough Situation. "We really have a problem on our hands," Smith said, "For the married students who do not have a place to live, it is a rough situ ation." The Men's Dorm, completed last year, has done much to release the load for single students. Of the 3,000 students who have been housed this year, 267 students were located in the Dorm.. "We hope someday to be able to house all university students on the campus, so we will not have to call on Lincoln townspeople to open their homes. The Men's Dorm is a step in that direction," Smith concluded.

'Shopping Spree9 to Higldight YWCA in Formal Rendezvous Barbara Spcer, YWCA presi dent, has announced plans for a rendezvous for all upperclass women Thursday afternoon from 3 to 5 p.m. in Ellen Smith hall, "The rendezvous," said Miss Speer, "will highlight the two week YWCA membership drive." The purpose of the rendezvous is to explain to prospective YW members the functions and de partments of the YWCA. All com mission group leaders and com mittee chairmen will be present to explain the duties of their groups, which offer discussions on such topics as world relations, political effectiveness, social serv ice and comparative religion. The rendezvous, which is infor mal, will be built around a shop ping theme and will feature a skit under the direction of M. J. Me lick. Refreshments will be served Membership receipts will be ex changed for membership cards. Dues may be paid at the time of the rendezvous. The upperclass membership drive will continue until Sept. 29. A membership drive for freshman women is planned for late October. The rendezvous and member ship drive, under the direction of I VoL 49 No. 6 Lincoln 8. Nebraska. Wednesday, Sept. 22. 1948 Ignore Faulty Headline; Frosh to Dance Saturday Official word, while not in Daily Nebraskan headlines, is that the "Freshmen Hop" will be held Saturday night from 9 to 12 p.m. in the Union ballroom. Further word has it that it's not too late to get tickets for the first big dance of the year, especially designed for freshmen students who are bent on getting acquainted with fellow members and some of the upperclassmen. Wheels Will Hop, Too Upperclassmen will be at the hop, too, for one of the purposes of the dance is to give the freshmen an opportunity to meet some of the activities people and learn what makes the wheels go 'round. Tickets sell for only 50 cents. Selling them are mem bers of the Innocents Society, who are co-sponsoring the dance with the Union, and a booth in the Union hallway is now open to reach all students who did. not get their tickets during registration. Come One, Come All The question of "is the dance open only to freshmen?" rales a "no" for an answer. To enable freshmen (transfer students, too) to meet students in classes other than their own, the dance is open to upperclassmen. Since the hop will serve as an "activities mart". for both men and women by way of a skit which explains and also plans campus activities and colorful cartooned-posters representing each activity, the Innocents urge all students in activities to be at the Hop. Music for dancing will be provided by the Smith-Warren band. Shinii Cites Opportunities . . New Angles for Globe Trotting Released by World Traveler ... Free Trips Available "There is much more opportunity for young people to travel now than anyone supposes," declared Miss Ruin Shinn, new exec utive secretary of the University Y.W.C.A. Miss Shinn, who has traveled extensively in Turkey, Italy, France, and Switzerland, cited examples of college graduates with one year's experience who are working in Europe as teachers, inter national journalists, engineers, or relief workers. . She believes that if students are interested in their work they can have a wonderful time abroad, but if they are doing it just for a free trip it will probably be dull.

One thing that she found in Europe that is not al ways found hen: is hospitality. "So many people are more hospitible than they need to be, and I hope that we may be the same to foreigners traveling here," she said. Slept on Deck One doesn't have to travel first class to see Europe, according to the new YW secretary. She once traveled from Istanbul to Naples, a five day voyage, sleeping on deck and carrying all her food in a picnic basket. Another summer she spent Youth Hosteling in England. She bicycled from Guilford to Canter bury, partially over the trail of the pilgrims going to Canterbury cathedral. On this trip chores were shared and overnight stops were made in old English manors.

At the present time, 1,431 stu dent orders remain to be filled of the total.8,431 which were sold. In addition to these, student sales will be reopened Thursday in the Coliseum lobby. The athletic business office staff will burn the midnight oil tonight to fill the re maining orders and prepare enough tickets to meet the final rush. Lew" Reports. A. J. Lewandowski, business manager, made the following statement to The Daily Nebras kan, Tuesday: "Because of the large student sale and demand for faculty seats, it w'ill be necessary to move approximately 600 faculty members to seats in the West Stadium. Furthermore, 200 stu dents will be accomodated in the bleachers for the Iowa State game. Their ticket will be hon ored in the East Stadium for the Notre Dame game and all games thereafter." "Student sales for the current year have reached 8,431, and sales will reopen Thursday morn ing at 9 o'clock in the Coliseum lobby. . "The athletic department hai decided that all students deserv ing seats will gain admission to the East Stadium with all blocks seated as such. The business of fice is striving primarily to please in every way the faculty and student body of the university." No One Happy. Meanwhile, the student body, with a few exceptions, is any thing but pleased. Complaints have flooded the Daily Nebraskan office and the business office concerning tickets not filled and students dissatisfied with their . lot. In the latter category are sev eral hundred students seated in the east balcony. Several large blocks of 'students were among this group. Foremost in the minds of mo.st students is the fact that there are decidedly few choice student seats in comparison to the poor seats. The 8,431 scats comprise roughly three-fifths of the ca pacity of the east Stadium, and they do contain a large number of - seats which would not be easy to dispose of in public sale. The public sale seats are the cream of the crop, at least 2,000 of them, and this accounts for the majority of poor seats among student selections. Explains Shortage. Lewandowski attributes the shortage of tickets to the influx of faculty orders this year and the unprecedented number of men buying tickets for their wives. Seven thousand tickets had been reserved for student sale, a figure well over the number sold last year. 305 of the Union. ticket, he must go to the Comp feels that he does not, deserve a he may appeal it to the Student published as being liable to fines. i
