Afeiv Students Analyze
First Impressions Of NU
By GRACE HARVEY
Feature Editor
Stumbling around campus be
tween mobs of bewildered people
classified as freshmen, the inquir
ing reporter was at work agai.i.
The question of the day was "What
do you think of the University,
Rush Week, New Student Week,
nnd so forth?"
Nearly 99.9 per cent of the
novices agreed that the friendli
ness of the upperclassmen im
pressed them the most. Gloria
King, a freshman from North
Platte, said, "I like the Univer
sity real well! The food is good,
the girls', dorm is neat, the teach
ers are helpful, and everyone is
iriendly."
ANOTHER TRANSFER student,
Georgia Muma, from Chadron
State Teachers, felt differently. She
said, "I like the University better
than Chadron State because the
students are so much more friend
ly and the campus life is so much
more diverse. Coming from so
much smaller a school, I like the
University better because it gives
me an opportunity to specialize
more in my field of study."
Another upperclassman, Marilyn
Jleed from Richmond, Va., said,
"The University is my big taste
of big college life. It is a sort
of melting pot of ideas and knowl
edge in comparison to the girls'
finishing school and art school
with the Bohemian atmosphere
that I attended before."
TWO LINCOLN students, who
were kibitzing and coking in the
Crib, had a little different slant
on rush week and new student
week. Bernie Randolph of Lin
coln said, "The University is
great! Rush Week with compul
sory open house attendance is a
good idea for out-state fellows
especially because it gives them a
chance to meet fellows in all
fraternities and see all the
houses."
Phyllis McCrary of Bartlett,
Iowa, who was rushing along as
if caught in a whirlwind of ac
tivity, breathlessly said, "I think
the University is swell! The stu
dents are really friendly more so
than the crowd back in high school.
New student week is really a life
saver for students who are out-of-state
because if they're like
me, they've never seen the cam
pus before."
TWO COEDS had some com
ments to make on rush week. Kay
Perrin of Lincoln and a transfer
from MacMurry College, said,
"Rush week was really terrific!
I liked the friendliness of the girls
as they all did their best to make
me feel at home and at ease. I
think the University Panhellenic
has established a very construc
tive program."
Pat McMillen of Ogallala was a
little less enthusiastic about rush
week procedures. She said, "open
house and the six parties were
thrown at so fast that we were
so rushed we didn't get to know
the girls very well, but I really
like University life."
TWO GREEN freshmen standing
on the steps at Temple Building
were eager to say that they liked
what campus life they had seen.
Fred Gebhardt of Scribner said,
"I've met a lot of people that I
knew before I came to the Uni
versity, so I'm beginning to feel
at home already. In fact, every
thing seems okay so far."
Dale Heermann, also from Scrib
ner, said, "Life at the University
is about what I expected. But be
cause it is so different from high
school life, everyone is in the same
boat when it comes to getting ad
justed and making friends."
Finally, there was one other
thing in which all new students
old students, and everybody else
agreed classes are starting en
tirely too soon this year. The old
grind in the salt mines doesn't
seem to appeal to the young at
heart or anybody else.
Let's face it, studying takes up
too much of our time which could
be spent for more exciting pas
times, such as coking, picnicking,
or partying.

"The CRYSTAL BALL CONTEST"
Fine, Cooperative Attitude Cited
By Afeiv Men's Dorm Resident Advisor
Overwhelmed by what he termed
"the fine, co-operative attitude"
oi about 950 boys, Alfred Calvert
settled down this week to a new
job in the new Mens Residence
Halls.
Calvert, who lives with his wife
in an apartment in the modern
oelleck Quadrangle, is resident ad
visor, in charge of advising and
guiding the counselors and resi
dents. Enthusiastic about his new
job, he praised the boys for their
patience and lack of grumbling
although delays have handicapped,
the speedy installment of all fa
cilities. Calvert, a life-long resident of
Nebraska, received his M.A. de
gree at the University and his A.B.
at Nebraska Wesleyan. He intends
to work toward his Doctorate, "if
I can find time." He has served
as principal or superintendent of
several areas in the state.
Calvert, who began his career
as a coach, said "I have always
boys." Actually his only direct
experience counseling boys, he
added, was two summers at a boys'
camp.
DON CARLYON, who has served
as director of the Mens' Residence
Halls since 1953, agreed with Cal
vert in anticipating few serious
problems in connection with the
expanded dorm. He intends to
maintain a "firm, but friendly at
titude" in regulating dorm affairs.
Both men praised the quadrangle
counselors, whom they said had
done all they could to help the
boys in their section get settled
and who seem to be taking a good
interest In their duties.
The Quadrangle is divided into
16 houses, which contain 50 to 70
men. Each house is a self-contained
unit and will have its own
officers, social and intramural pro
grams. The counselor of each house
is an upperclassman who lived
in the residence halls last year.
COUNSELORS and their houses
are Michael Layon, Seaton House
II; Heinz Schreiner, Seaton House
I; Don Tadkin, Benton House; Lo
ren Betz, Fairfield House; James
Atkinson, Hitchcock House; Larry
Goll, Canfield House; Verone Bigg,
Manott House; Jack Sheneman,
MacLean House; Jerry Severson,
Begsie 'house; Gene Stevens, An
drews House; Dan Tolman, Bou
cher House; Coe Kroese, Avery
I, and Tom Moriarcy, Gustavson
II.
Every house, with the exception
of Seaton, is named after a past
chancellor of the University.
The Quadrangle will be governed
by eight student officers who will
compose the Residents' Association
for Men. This year's officers will
serve on an Interim Council,
since elections will usually be in
the spring.
Including counselors, 929 men can
be accomodated in the new dorm.
At the present, a bunk secOon is
temporarily hovsing approximately
25 additional men. If Vacancies
occur, this week, they will be
moved into rooms; if not, rooms
will be found for them in Lincoln.
A FULL PROGRAM of inter
mural sports and social activities
13 being planned for each house.
A snack bar, recreation room and
lounges will be available for stu- ,
dent use, although not entirely com
pleted yet.
Girls are allowed in the recrea
tion areas during the earne hours
men are allowed in the girls' dorm.
The snack bar will be only for
the use of Quadrangle residents
and their guests.
To operate the completely mod
ern dorm, an office staff of five,
14 maids, five janitors, a service
manager, and 35 to 40 food service
helpers are required. Approxi
mately 1,200 student hours of work
a week will be needed for bussing
and food service help. All student
workers will be dorm residents.
