Union Picks M. Moomey As Director Marilyn Moomey, University senior, has been appointed acting director of Union activities, Union manager Duane Lake announced Tuesday. She will take over the position held by Mrs. Genene Grimm whose resignation will be come effective March 15. Miss Moomey will supervise and w w A' I J llliiliKIIB MARILYN MOOMEY coordinate the work done by stu dent activity committees until the end of the present school term. As member of the Union board of managers during the past two years, she has ac quainted herself with the acti vities program. She also estab lished and served as chairman of the Union house and office committee. Last spring Miss Moomey was the student dele gate representing the Univer sity at the national conference of the Association of College Unions. She is now a Mortar Board, AWS board vice-president and a member of Pi Beta Phi. She helped organize New Students week last fall and is a former Coed Counselor. Miss Moomey will be the third . Union activities director. Her predecessor, Mrs. Grimm, served this office since Sent. 1949. "Genene has done a good Job and we regret losing her very much." Lake said. "During her time a firm foundation of expan sion of activities was laid. She helped broaden the scope of the resDonsibilitv. such as fine arts nroerams. as well as setting up the machinery for the long range activity program."

The student world might be In terested in a strike that took place a few years ago where the union demanded shorter hours. With the tedium of morning lectures and afternoon labs, shorter hours would be a blessing. Roommate "Say, I thought I asked you to watch when that cof fee pot boiled over!" - Recognizing the fact that spring is just around the corner, the weatherm a n predicts a slight let-up in the cold spell. Skies should be cloudy and temperature s will probably warm up a few degrees. The mild Mild breezes ot yesterday will freshen into brisk winds. The high thermometer reading will be near 20.' A couple of fraternity men were trying to do some wiring. One of them was nuzzled and called to a pledge, "Pa your hand on one of those wires." The pledge aid as he was told "Do you feel any thing?" "No." "Good.1' said the active. "I was not sure which was which. Don't touch the other one or you'll drop dsad." Tho recommendation was killed by the expected faculty-student split in committee. In an effort to ease the cur rent parking controversy, how ever, the committee reduced the segregated-parklng hours to permit "firetcome-first-serve" parking after 1 p.m., effective Monday. Under the present rul ing, segregated lots are opened to students at 1:30 p.m. The committee also voted to combine faculty parking lots C, D and E and thus enable C, D and 2 faculty drivers to park in any of the three areas. According to Dean Carl W Borgman. chairman of the com mittee, a greater number of auto mobiles can be assigned to one large parking lot than to several smaller lets with an equal number of stalls. The combining of parking lots is also effective Monday, following announcement in the faculty bul letin. The committee expressed its hope that, through the combined area! faculty cars assigned to lot F can eventually be parked in lots C. D and E. Lot F would then be left open-entirely for student parking. A reporl from the faculty liai son committee recommended re serving three large parking areas for faculty automobiles, instead of the large number of small lots. According to the report, presented by Harold Wise, parking commit tee and liaison committee member the faculty areas would not be centrally located. The report also recommended that perhaps the distance from a student's residence to the Univer sity necessary to obtain parking permits could be extended from the present eight blocks to ten, twelve or more. By decreasing permit-eligible students, the ratio of student cars to parking stalls could be reduced to the ratio of faculty cars to parking stalls. At the present, the student ratio is 2.75 cars to a space, while the faculty ratk is 1.75 cars. Looking toward po s s i b 1 e parking streamlining for next year, Dean Borgmann appointed Student Council President George Cobel to draw up a set of regulations for decreasing faculty parking areas by grant ing student permits to labor and clerical workers now possessing faculty stickers. Borgmann esti mated that perhaps the faculty areas could be cut in half by such a move. The committee informally up held rustication as punishment for an excess of parking tickets. It thus refused to consider establish ing a system of fines as substitute lor rustication.

Universtiy Coeds Participate In Events Of Nebraska Republican founders Day iour university coeds are taking an active part in state politics. As hostesses at a recep tion Monday for ex-Gov. Dwight Griswold, now running, for United States Senate, the four women assisted Mrs. Gris wold at the Nebraska Republi can Founders' Day meeting. Damaris v Riddell, junior in Teachers college, said we should take an interest in whom we elect because "elections now will affect us more than they will our parents." "I am a young Republican," declared Dorothy Elliott, Teach ers college junior, "and if I were 21 I would vote for Gris wold." Miss Elliott called Gris wold a "good guy," and added good citizenship "is our duty something we should start now instead of after college." Elizabeth Gass, junior Ag col lege student, said young people should be interested in their leaders and in good leaders. "All of us should show more, inter est in politics," she said,'"and Griswold is the kind of man our country needs." Sandra Riddell, senior in Teachers college, believes it, is "about time Republicans came back into power. If they are to do so," she added, "everyone must take an active interest in our future leaders." Griswold, a Regent of the University, said, "As long as students take an interest in poli tics, this America of ours is safe." John Riddell, York attorney, commented that Founders Day has always placed an "accent on youth" by the election of young Republicans as junior president and junior vice president of the organization. Riddell added that University students attend "in large numbers and get some of their first political lessons from the sessions." The first Republican Founders Day was held March, 1935, and was patterned after Kansas Day, Riddell said. Senator Everett Dirksen of Illinois was main speaker at the banquet. Vivian Kellems, Connecticut manufacturer who refused to deduct income taxes from her employees' paychecks, addressed more than 400 at a women's luncheon.

This virtually wipe out any chance of UMT passing con gress this year. The bill was recommitted to committee after six hours of heavy debate. UMT would have made 18 and one-half-year-old males liable for six months military training and seven and one half years of reserve service subject to recall.. The house action on UMT is expected to sidetrack a similiar bill under consideration in the senate. Wilson Urges Control Extension WASHINGTON Charles E.

Mobi lizer Wilson warned, "At least two more years of hard work are ahead of us before we reach our present goals of mil itary strength and productive power."
