Punishes
Thirty-Five
Approximately 35 students have
been put on, probation for violation
of the liquor laws this year.
Probation prevents the students
from taking part in any extra
curricular activities such as sports,
plays, recitals, clubs and other
University activities, Frank M.
Hallgren, assistant Dean of Stu
dent Affairs, said. If a second vio
lation is filed against the student,
he is subject to dismissal, he con
tinued. Fraternities and sororities also
could be put on probation for viola
tion of the liquor laws, Hallgren
said. If the offense is repeated,
the house might be denied the right
to pledge, he stated. This could
be carried out further so that the
fraternity's charter could be sus
pended, he added.
"The University does not con
done or approve violations of laws
at any place," Hallgren said. Any
nightclub in Nebraska is subject
to supervision. There is no place
that is immune or that can guar
antee protection he added.
Within its jurisdiction, the Uni
versity upholds state laws con
cerning alcoholic beverages which
forbid:
1. Consumption- of liquor on public
roads, streets, or alleys.
2. Purchase or acceptance as a
gift, of liquor by minors.
3. Misrepresentation of age or iden
tity by minors to obtain liquor.
4. Possession of liquor by a minor.
5. Possession and consumption of
liquor on property owned by the
state of Nebraska, and ordin
ances of Lincoln relative to the
purchase and consumption of
liquor including operation of a
vehicle while drunk.

Change In Attitude
Small School PE Conference
To Meet In Lincoln Friday
By LUCIGRACE SWITZER
Staff Writer
"We thought it would be well
for school administrators to un
derstand the possibilities inherent
in physical education on all grade
levels."
Dr. Dudley Ashton, chairman of
the department of physical edu
cation, thus explained the origin
of tiie Small School Physical Edu
cation Conference to be held here
Friday.
School superintendents, princi
pals and physical education in
structors from all over the state
will attend the two-day conference
sponsored, in conjunction with the
University Conference of Superin
tendents. Dr. Ashton explained that a
change in attitude toward physical
education in the school has taken
place in the last 30 years. Prior
to that time, physical education,
like much American culture, was
an imitation of European culture,
and calisthenics was practically
the only type of physical educa
tion used. With the subsequent
change in culture, there has been
a corresponding change in the at
titude toward physical education.
"The thought used to be that

year. All materials used in dis
plays must be in front of houses
by 3 p.m. Friday, Chairman Brock
Dutton announced. An evaluation
team of Lincoln businessmen will
check the face value of the con
struction materials and motors
used in the displays.
Art Exhibition
To End Sunday
The art collection owned by Mr.
and Mrs. James S. Schramm is on
exhibition at the University.
The 16 paintings and three sculpts
arrived Oct. 17 and will be in
Galley B on the second floor of
Morrill Hall until Sunday.
The best known painting in the
group is "Girl Thinking" by Yasuo
Kuniyoshi, a Japanese-American.
All of the works represented are
contemporary, and all but one are
by native-born or naturalized
Americans. The one exception is
"Torso," a bronze cast, by Gia
cometti, a Swiss.
The Schramms, natives of Burl
ington, la., have been collecting
art for 13 years. All the vorks are
normally kept in their home. This
is the first time the entire collec
tion has been out of Iowa.
everyone in a class should receive
the same benefits from the class,
but now we know that the pro
gram has to be individualized,
based on growth and development
of the individual and on matura
tion levels and most important,
on individual needs," Dr. Ashton
added.
She pointed out that "teachers
are interested in the total devel
opment of their students, not just
in terms of mental development,
but in all phases of individual de
velopment." She explained that certain ac
tivities in physical education can
make certain contributions to a
person's total development. Two
of these contributions are the pos
sibilities for its use in family liv
ing and its help in alleviating the
sedentary life which American
people live.
People are worried about the
possibility of underdevelopment,
Dr. Ashton explained. Physical
education should become increas
ingly used in schools to help alle
viate this possibility.
"We believe that an opportunity
for physical education should be
available to every child and not

said, "Although The Commanders
are a comparatively new dance
