The Outside World:
Colleges Given Gifts
By MONROE USHER
Staff Writer
The Ford Foundation has given away in a surprise move one-half
billion dollars to privately supported colleges, universities and hos
pitals. These gifts will be given in the form of endowments for 10 years
and during this time are to be used exclusively to increase teachers'
salaries. At the end of this period the schools will be free to use the
money as they wish.
Nebraska will receive $3,232,600 in grants from the Ford Founda
tion. $1530,400 of this will go to seven privately supported schools
and 58 Nebraska hospitals will receive the other $2,002,200. ,
ike Presents Defense Budget
It is reported that President Eisenhower presented a defense
budget in excess of 35 million dollars before congressional leaders
Tuesday.
Nearly half of this will go for the Air Force and guided missile
functions.
President Eisenhower is said to have emphasized the necessity
of building the American forces towards warding off disaster at home,
and for instant retaliation in case of enemy attack.
Some observers at the conference stated that generally Secretary
of State Dulles and Eisenhower were optomistic towards world con
ditions and felt that there was no immediate danger of war.
Stevenson May Enter Primary
Adlai Stevenson is considering entering the Nebraska presidential
primary next May 15.
James A. Finnegan, Stevenson's campaign manager, will arrive
here next week for a series of conferences. A decision is expected
at this time.
Stevenson will have to make a choice between this primary and
Oregon 't, which is May 18. Because they fell so close together there
will not be sufficient time to campaign in both states.

The committee would have three

Propose
Committee
fore Rush Week, set up penalties
to be levied for violations of Rush
Week rules.
Second, the committee would do
the actual policing of Rush Week,
instead of having each house vol
unteer one or two persons to go
around to a designated house after
each rush date, as is done now,
The committee member doing
the policing would not know what
house he was to inspect until just
prior to his policing. No set times
would be provided for inspection
during the bona fide rush dates.
Third, the committee would im
mediately report any viola
tions discovered to the IFC execu
tive committee and to the presi
dent of the offending house:
The IFC executive committee,
consisting of IFC officers, advis
ers and the Dean of Men, would act
on all violations, both those com
mitted by houses and those com
mitted by rushees.
The purpose behind the proposal
will be two-fold, Belmont said.
First, it would provide the IFC
a better means of running Rush
Week by the IFC rushing rules,
since the committee would be
specifically designed for that pur
pose, he said.
Second, it would give the IFC
designated authority to govern its
Rush Week in such a way to pro
vide a more beneficial Rush Week
to all of its members, he said.
.. "This proposal can in no way
inhire the IFC, but can only bene
fit it," Belmont added.

The Faculty Senate voted Tues
day afternoon to reconvene classes
Jen. 3 instead of Jan. 2 and to
provide for nonvoting student rep
resentation on certain Senate com
mittees. Both decisions were made by
voice vote.
Harold Wise, assistant dean of
the Graduate College, reported that
the Calendar committee was near
ly unanimous in recommending
postponing reconvening classes an
extra day after Christmas vaca
tion. He pointed out that Univer
sity employees in the classified
services are allowed Jan. 2 as a
legal holiday when Jan. 1 falls on
Sunday.
La Verne Small, chairman of the
department of pharmacy, said that
when he was chairman of the cal-
Christmas vacation will begin
Saturday at 12 noon, instead of
8 a.m. as announced in the Faculty
Bulletin. Classes will resume Jan.
i at 8 a.m.
endar committee that had auth
orized the present calendar, it had
been decided to ignore the legal
holidays. The same problem, he
said, was present at Easter when
school began on the following Mon
day. A. C. Breckenridge, Dean of Fac
ulties, stated that legal holidays
occurred only after Christmas and
New Year's fell on Sundays and
this would effect the University
only once every seven years.
Frank Lundy, director of librar
ies, said that while many library
staff members are members of the
faculty, 35 are in the classified
servic e clerical and janitors'
staffs.

Survey:
Mystery
In Union
Explained
. By BABS JELGERHUIS
Copy Editor
There's nothing like a card table,
reams of white official paper, a
pencil and a suited gentleman be
hind the table to arrouse curious
ity in the normal University stu
dent. The truth is that the Union is
taking a traffic count to find out
how many students enter the Un
ion, by what door, and what time.
This information will be sent to
Porter Butts, director of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin Union, who
is the planning consulatnt for the
new addition.
A student, who evidently is a
detective story fan, asked one of
the men aiding in the survey if a
crime had been committed. He
thought that plainclothesmen were
watching the entrances for suspic
ious characters.
Another student came up to the
desk, took out his ID card and
asked, "What are we voting for?"
A consciencious visitor picked up a
copy of the Nebraskan on the shelf
bv the Crib and tried to pay the
man for it.
One shy coed watched one of
the men doing the survey for near
ly ten minutes. Risking eye strain
she walked by the table several
times trying to peer unobservingly
at the mysterious, proceedings.
However, her eyes failed her and
se left not knowing.
So far, no tabulations have
been made but indications show
that the norhwesi door is chiefly
used between 9:45 a.m. and 10:30
a.m. during the morning coffee
traffic. Most of the breakfast traf
fic goes through the north-e a s t
door.
The most frequent comments
form members of the student body
were blunt and to the point.
"Whatcha doing?" "What is this,
anyhow?" A few cynics uttered
"soft job" type of remarks.
IFC To Play
Santa Claus
To 86 Orphans
Members of the Interfraternity
Council, assisted by the Mortar
Boards, will entertain 86 children
from three Lincoln orphanages at
a Christmas party Wednesday at
7 p.m. in the Union Ballroom.
Bruce Martin will play Santa
Claus and will distribute gifts from
his pack to the children, whose
ages will range from 4 to 14. En
tertainment at the party will be
furnished by a magician or by the
Trend Four.
The orphans will be from White
Hall, St. Thomas and Cedars or
phanages. Last year was the first
time the IFC as a whole sponsored
a children's Christmas party,
when the council sponsored a chili
feed for the orphans. John Olson is
chairman of the party this year.

ing. It is dangerous to set a prece
dent of chipping away at the cal
endar, he said. Dropping a day
of classes would upset multi-section
classes' schedules. "I doubt,"
he said, "that Jan. 1 is much of
a family day. And if we are going
to give a day to watch the bowl
games, we'll have to be dropping
Saturday classes."
The question was called for and
the calendar committee's recom
mendation was passed by voice
vote.
Student representation on certain
faculty committees was recom
mended by the committee on com
mittees in the following resolu
tion: "Whereas, the Student Council
has requested limited student rep
resentation on certain committees
of the University Senate; and
"Whereas, such representation

House Residents
Express Discontent
According to Inter national
House President Margery Polzkill,
the first thing she heard about the
Administration's decision to turn
the house into a Faculty Club was
when she was called by a reporter
of a Lincoln newspaper.
The Administration proposal,
passed by the Board of Regents,
intends to move the girls in Inter
national House into Terrace Hall.
The girls now housed in Terrace
Hall would probably be moved into
the new addition of the Residence
Halls for Women.
"The women in International
House feel definitely that the Ad
ministration should have ap
proached us before the decision
was passed, declared Miss
Polzkill. The Chancellor talked to
her about the proposal after she
heard about it from the reporter,
"We feel very strongly about re
maining in our own house," she
said. "It is much the same as if
a sorority were told they would
have to relinquish their sorority
house for a Faculty Club.
Miss Polzkill added that "We've
worked a long time for our house."
International House has been on
the campus for ten years.

the Phi Mu sorority house, was

"Resolved: that the Senate invite
the Student Council to designate
annually non-voting representa
tives to assist in the deliberations
of certain committees, as follows:
"Two for service with the cal

"Two for service with the com

"Seven for service with the com

"And be it further resolved that
a copy of these resolutions be sent

amended to include two student
members for service with the com
mittee on Honors Convocations.
No debate opposing the resolu
tion was presented.
i purchased by the University during
World War H. Many of the women
students living there are foreign
students or graduate students.
"The Board of Regents stated:
'Upon providing facilities for the
girls now housed in International
House, The University would
have no further use for this proper
ty as a girls' dormitory, and that
the property can be used for the
Faculty Club gathering place,' "
said Dr. C. S. Miller, president of
Faculty Club.
The International House presi
dent declared that the women feel
it would be unfair if they were
forced to give up their house. "We
have had to work very hard for
every bit of recognition we have
received," she said, "because the
majority of our residents do not
participate in activities and the
like."
Olivia Hanson, head resident,
and Ruth Meierhenry, business
manager of the Residence Halls for
Women, both declared that they
knew nothing of the Aiministra
tion's decision or of the possibility
of moving the residents of Terrace
Hall into the new addition to the
dorm.
Miss Meierhenry stated that the
new addition was expected to house
160 women ultimately. Miss Han
son said that there is a possibility
that the dorm addition may be
partly used before the entire addi
tion is completed. There are pres
ently 413 women living in the Dorm
which "was built to accomodate
374," Miss Meierhenry said.
In addition, there are freshmen
pledges living in sorority houses
on campus and there are three
freshmen living in International
House. There are 34 women in Ter
race Hall at the present time.
It is possible, that if enrollment
keeps on increasing, the new addi
tion may be inadequate in a few
years she said.
Bev Wirz, president of Terrace
Hall, after reading of the Admin
istration's decision in The Nebras
kan, took a vote of it in the house
which indicated "that the girL; def
initely intend to oppose the Board
of Regents' decision."
She declared that "20 out of the
34 women living in Terrace Hall
said they would consider transfer
ring to another school rather than
live in the Residence Halls for
Women; we believe it is just about
as unfair as anything could be,"
Miss Wirz said.
About two-thirds of the women
living in Terrace Hall are transfer
students. "None said they would
voluntarily move into the dorm and
lose many of the privileges they
have now as residents of a small
house," she said.
"We believe Terrace Hall is a
drawing card for transfer students
who do not plan to pledge; we do
not believe the dorm would serve
this purpose," Miss Win said.
