The enthusiasm of coeds often takes an un

As one fraternity group serenaded at a sorority
house, an over-eager coed knocked a full pound
of butter from the window sill, hitting the song
leader on the bead.

The warm sunny days will make way for more

activities.
"This is the most constructive
effort to introduce religious orienta
tion to students," he said.
Religious Emphasis Week cli
matically ' emphasizes points for
concentration of religion on the
campus, he added.
"I look on REW as a retreat, a
time for withdrawing from ordin
ary life and occupations in order to
pray, meditate and receive instruc
tion in the spiritual life," com
mented The Rt. Rev. Msgr.
George Schuster, associate direc
tor of the Catholic student center
and chapel.
The University Council of Re

The citizens of Nebraska are
looking for a positive program of
action in the political field, accord
ing to Dick Johnson, candidate for
the Republican nomination as Rep
'resentative of the First Congres
sional District.
Johnson, an Ag College student,
poke Thursday at a meeting of
short course students at the Col
lege of Agriculture.
"Since I filed, the response from
the people of Nebraska has been
very encouraging and I now feel
that I have a good chance of win
ning," he added.
Johnson said that the program
he is advocating deals with three
major issues agriculture, federal
power and natural gas.
He is in favor of unlimited agri
cultural production at a stable
price. This will be accomplished
through new consumption programs
both at home and abroad, he said.
These programs include an ex
panded school lunch plan, food al
lotments to supplement old age
assistance, new uses for farm pro
ducts, improved food distribution
and use of our food stocks by low
income persons in our nation.
Raising the quality atandards of
products would help competition
in the world trade market, be
said.
"Farmers must have an econom
ical sized farm unit to tili, and
tite who wkh to wove off the
farm must U given this. oppor
tunity by teaching them a new
trade," he said.
Johnson believes that we should
take a very positive statid on the
question of federal power.
"Nebraska will be faced with a
brown-out soon, unless we can ac
quire power from all Federal pro
jects," be warned.;

Members of the different com

Interfraternity Council official
ly disclaimed any connection with
the Mallard Club Ball and passed
an amendment requiring house
presidents to have a 5.0 average,
at their meeting Wednesday after
noon. The Mallard club, an anonymous
organization of fraternity men, has
scheduled a dance to be held at
a local ballroom March 9, the date
hich was previously set aside
for the IFC Ball. The traditional
IFC dance has been cancelled this
year as a result of a notice from
the Office of Student Affairs.
The Student Affairs communica
tion said that the IFC would not
be allowed to hold the ball off
campus as it has in past years.
The IFC decided not to sponsor
a dance this year following the
letter which was signed by Dean
of Student Affairs J. P. Colbert.
Bill Campbell, IFC president,
said that the IFC Board of Con
trol had sent a recommendation
to the IFC to consider making it
mandatory that all fraternity presi
dents have a 5.0 average. The
recommendation was made be

University Regents voted
Wednesday to accept the low bid
of Blyth and Company of Chicago
on the purchase of $3,750,000 in
student facilities revenue bonds.
The bids will be used to finance
the Union addition, new Student
Health Center, Ag dormitories for
both men and women, an addition
to the Women's Residence Halls
on city campus and the married
student housing buildings on the
Ag campus.
The Chicago firm will charge
approximately four per cent as a
gross interest rate on bond ma
turities through 1986. The Regents
designated the Lincoln National
Bank of Commerce as trustee and
the American National Bank of
Chicago as paying agent.
Construction on the Union addi
tion is expected to begin in ap
proximately eight months. Bids
will be opened on the ag housing
March 14, on the Health Center in
May, on the married student hous
ing in June and on the addition to
the women's dorm on March 22.
Chancellor Clifford Hardin pre
sented statistics showing the per
centage breakdown of where Uni
versity students are housed to sup
port the planned building program.
"Of the total enrollment, Uni
versity residences accommodate
20 per cent of the students, fra
ternities and sororities house 19 per
cent and 16 per cent reside at
home," he said.
This leaves approximately 55 per
cent of University students in need
of other bousing, Hardin said.
Construction costs on other
buildings included in this bond is

President Eisenhower has offered himself to the American people
as a candidate for the 1956 Presidential election. In pursuing his second
term bid, Thursday be entered the Republican primaries in California

The President's health is already becoming an issue of the fast de

of his physical capabilities, and asked whether the country wanted
what they termed a "part-time president".
A possible GOP vice presidential nominee, predicted GOP Chair

A letter has been sent to fraternity and sorority presidents con
cerning the Mallard Club Ball stating that the function is oontrary
to University regulations.
The text of the letter issued by the Office of SUideat AiT&ks
follows:
To Fraternity and Sorority Presidents:
According to advance publicity a group called the Mallards Is
sponsoring a party on Friday, March 9, 1956, at Kings Ballroom for
the fraternity men and sorority women of the University of N
braska.
The holding of such a party is in violation of University rules
and regulations because it is to be sponsored by an organization
not approved by the University and it is to be held without con
formity to the usual social rules.
Under these circumstances the support of this event by the fra
ternity and sorority system of individual houses is an indication of
bad faith. In. addition the University regards approval of such
events calculated subterfuge reflecting on the good same of tb
system.
We urge you to remind your members of their responsibility to
conform to University regulations lest they forfeit their right to re
main acceptable members of the University community.

A possible plan to shorten the
final examination period next year
by one day was discussed in

The plan is being considered to
allow instructors more time to read

Breslow, CCRC representative,
and Sam Van Pelt, Biz Ad, sub

plan to the Council for discussion.
Van Pelt is also a student mem

Being considered as part
of the plan are scheduling all fresh
