their first discussion of rodeoing,
questioned the cost of movement
and quartering of the stock for
this sport. The point was raised
by the board that not enough of
the Big Seven colleges have a
rodeo sport in their programs.
A qualified coach would have
to be hired to coach and direct
the students who would partici
pate in the intercollegiate com
petition, Clark added.
Ephriam Hixson, dean of resi
dent instruction for the Agri
cultural College said that such
a sport on the University campus
would not affect the Ag College
m any way.
The Dean .said the Ag College
could not finance a intercollegiate
competition for the rodeo associa
tion. The colleges which have
tried such a project in the past
have ben faced with such a
problem, he related.
Schools suggested by the Ro
deo Association as possible con
tenders for intercollegiate rodeo
sport were Kansas State ' College,
Colorado University, Colorado A
and M, Oklahoma and South Da
kota. Clark said the biggest problem
faced by the Rodeo Association
in getting this sport at the Uni
versity was getting it established
as a sport on the campus of the
surrounding colleges.
We won't take over such a
project until enough competition
is present to make it a sport,
Clark said.
The members of the Athletic
Board are Dr. W. K. Beggs, Ira
Epstein, Dean Earl Fullbrook, Dr.
Ralph Ireland, Dr. W. E. Miltizer,
Bruce Nicoll, John K. Selleck

City, University Officials
Discuss Liquor Violations
"To treat each case on its
merits," will be the policy of the
University in handling student
liquor violations.
This statement was made by
Dean of Student Affairs J. P. Col
bert, who represented the Univer
sity in determining the policy of
dealing with student liquor vio
lations. Dean Colbert asked for the co
operation of organized houses in
stopping student liquor violations
by "controlling the bringing of
liquor into the parties" which
these houses may have.
He also pointed out that the
University has no desire to inter
fere with private cocktail parties
given by parents in Lincoln." That
situation will be left up to tne
discretion of parents, he said.
The policy was determined by
authorities at a meeting Saturday.
The city and police departments
were represented by Chief of
Police Joseph T. Carroll, Safety
Director Ray Osborn and City
Prosecutor Jack Pace.
Identification forms, to be filled

Dear Jerry: Thanks for your

access to police, records in order
to judge the individual cases.
The policy is a result of grow
ing concern over student liquor
violations as expressed by city
officials at a city council meeting
Feb. 9. At that time, Safety Di
rector Osborn reported signs that
more minors were securing liquor.
In 1952, a total of 67 arrests for
possession or alcoholic liquor by
minors was made as compared
with 29 arrests in 1951. Thus far
in 1953. five cases of minors ob
taining alcoholic beverages by
misrepresentation of age have
been called to the attention of
authorities.
The effects of alcohol on driv
ing were pointed out by Miss
Winona Perry, Professor of Edu
cational Psychology, who instructs
an alcohol lab in conjunction with
Education 62,
Miss Perry stated that alcohol
slows down reaction time and af
fects concentration. She explained
that the greater the concentration
of alcohol in the blood, the slower
is the speed of his reactions
Although the reactions are
actually slower, the person be
lieves that they are as fast or
faster than normal, which leads
him to believe that he is driving
more cautiously and safely,
Miss Perry cited as an example
that a person's reaction time is
slowed 34 tser cent witnin one
hour after drinking three and one
half glasses of whiskey, inis
mpans that a car traveling at
sn m.D.h. would take about 17
fppt more to bring it to a full

she concluded.
