The University has no authority to force married students to live in any future University-sponsored housing for them and would be run ning a financial risk in building housing units, John K. Selleck, Comptroller, said Monday. If there is no housing shortage In the next ten years, the Univer sity has no guarantee that mar ried students will not live out in Lincoln and not in University apart ments if the rent were cheaper, Sel leck said. Selleck added that he was defi nitely in favor of married student housing, but the lack of any such assurance worried him. Results of Survey According to a survey conducted by Nebraska University Dames, an organization of student wives, there are 1,249 married students on the campus, and a majority of these students favor additional housing facilities. This majority includes a number of students who are adequately housed, but feel there is a need The Outside World Reds Propose Meeting By DICK Staff Writer mt h-" Communists are willing to receive an unofficial U.S. P, Z case of the 15 imprisoned American airmen, ""'"T !tn Sei PemieV U Nu.

K 4 y n Future Buildings for attention to the housing situ ation, Selleck said. Appropriations for married stu dent housing would come under the University's building plan or the University budget, he said. Funds could be raised by means of revenue bonds, which would gradually be paid off in rentals re ceived from the buildings, Selleck stated. Legislature Bill L. B. 138, now pending in the Legislature, would expand Univer sity authority to include building accommodations for married stu dents. The present dormitory law includes only housing provisions for single students. lost married University students pgy an average of $50 to $70 per month for living quarters, accord ing to the Dames report. Median rent for the 262 families polled is $65 per month for an unfurnished apartment. ' Average rent for furnished apart ments is $60; 231 students fall with in this category and 25 per cent of these families have children.

Young Professors Need Space Another problem is housing for young professors, who, according to Selleck, have an equally hard time finding adequate housing with a reasonable rent. Two units on the campus for mar ried housing are mostly occupied by University employees, Selleck said. They are the Van Horn apart ments at the comer of 16th and R Streets, and the building located on the south side of S Street at the corner of 15th. The S Street building will event ually be razed to make way for the additions to the Student Union Selleck said. The most satisfactory married student housing plan is that of Michigan Slate College, which charges $75 for a two-bedroom uni and $65 to s;8 for a one-bedroom unit, according to Selleck. "We hope it is possible to pro ceed with the program of Univer-sity-of-Nebraska sponsored housing for married students, Chancellor Clifford Hardin said. Selleck said it would be at least two-and-a-half years before the unit could be built and no definite plans for any building program have been made as yet. Branches Eliminated Arrow ESOTC PI u A major change in the University Army ROTC curriculum which will go into effect in September will be designed to produce junior Army officers with a basic knowledge es sential to all branches of the Army, Chancellor Clifford Hardin announc ed Friday. The change will eliminate special ization in the five branches of serv ice: artillery, corps of engineers, infantry, military police and ord nance. "Begnning in September most Army cadets will participate in the new program which is aimed at a higher academic level more in keeping with the University level of education," Col. Chester Diestel, professor of Military Science and tactics, said. But University Juniors in Army ROTC who are now studying in Barbara Clark, junior in Arts and Sciences, was presented Mon day evening as the Typical Ne braska Coed for 1955 at the end of the opening performance of Coed Follies.

Women interested in a new sor ority are asked by Panhellenic to attend and discuss circumstances which have led to the considera tion. Panhellenic officials stressed that attendance at the meeting is not a committment on the part of unaffiliated women. Requirements and expenses of sorority membership will also be discussed. Cards have been sent to coeds registered for open rush. particular branches for commis sion, he said, will complete their courses and be commissioned un der the present system. Emphasis in the revised pro gram will be placed in problems requiring analysis by individual students, Col. Diestel continued. Increased Economy "On the basis of experience at institutions where the general mili tary science program has been adopted," the Colonel said, "it has been found that the level of instruc tion has been on a higher academic plane with increased economy and interest on the part of educators and students alike." Increased economy will result he said, because of the elimination ot specialized equipment, such as howitzers for artillery. The pro gram will also assure a more bal rocedl AH sity and personality were the three points which formed the basis of the selection.

Same Standard University Yearly Dorm Rates To Be Hiked $50 Dormitory rates for both men ious to set the rates as low as pos- and women will be increased from $520 to $570 per school year, John K. Selleck, Comptroller of the Uni versity, said Monday. The increase will go into effect in September. "We have just one object in mind," Selleck said. That object is "to operate the dormitories on a highly acceptable basis to the students." At the same time, he continued, the University "wants to provide good, ample food," keep dormi tories clean and in good repair, and pay out the bond retirement contract. Selleck stressed that "we want the students to understand that we are very reluctant to have to raise the rates." The present rates, he explained, were set three years ago, but operating costs are proving "more than we antici pated." "As Low As Possible" "And," he added, "we are anx- aims anced supply of cadets for the Army. Since 1878, the University has been training cadets for commis sion as second lieutenants in the five Army branches. Students in ROTC now choose the branches In which they want to specialize. After completing the four-year program they receive re serve commissions in the branch chosen. Under the new curriculum, how ever, most cadets will follow one broad course concentrating on sub jects which apply in all Army branches. These subjects Include military history, combat arms, log istics, operations and materiel.

CLARK "Bloomer Girl," which had a successful run on Broadway, in 1944, is a comedy about a hoop sks manufacturer who has not on. .roubles with his marriage able daughters, but also with agita tion in a woman's movement to wear bloomers instead of hoop skirts. Supporting Cast Supporting the principles in this show are Dick Marrs in the role of Gus, Skip Weatherford as sible Regarding operating costs, Sel leck said the University had two choices. One, was to set a less de sirable table. "But," he empha sized, "we elected to keep the table at the same standard." "No profit is desired or ex pected" from the dormitory oper ations, Selleck pointed out. Bond Issue Selleck said the bonds which were issued to pay for the new men's dormitories must also be paid off from dormitory income. The bond issue, he explained, was for $2,200,000. It will be re tired over a 25-year period with interest at 3.11 per cent, and the yearly retirement cost, he said, is $115,000. Den Carlyon, director of Selleck Quadrangle, said, "I think there is no doubt about it that we have good facilities here, better facili ties than some Eastern schools that have hightr rates." new curriculum, which an advisory committee of civilian educators and Army personnel developed in broad outline. The revised program was first adopted in the fall of 1952 by 59 institutions. Col. Diestel said that graduates receivirig corn missions sftcr com pleting the four-year course will list five branches of service in order of preference. They will appear then before a classification board made up of members of the University faculty and ROTC staff. The board will make recommendations to the De partment of the Army. The Army in turn will assign the newly commissioned officers to par ticular branches according to the Army's needs, the cadet's desires and the recommendations of the classification board.
