It Happened At NU
Just to add further proof to the old addagt
about Nebraska weather "If you don't like it,
wait a minute and it will change", a dis
gruntled University student went off to his
afternoon classes with the top down on his
convertible and upon returning much to his
amazement found it filled to the brim with
sudden snow flurry.

Students Discuss Various Philosophies
' Carifjcation of students'1 cpes-
Uons concerning their basic exist
ence was the goal of Tuesday
meetings in Religious Emphasis
Week.
John Anton, visiting professor of
philosophy, conducted a discussion
of the relation of philosophy to re
ligion at a luncheon in the Union.
"'There is no great conflict be
tween religion, philosophy or sci
ence," Anton said. On of t& basic
problems in religion today is to
restore its meaning and signify
gance, he said.
This should be accomplished not
through some vague universal re
ligion but through a plurality of
religions and appreciation of their
places and functions in culture, An
ton said.
On the question of evolution. Dr.
Emerson C. Shock., Dean of the
College of liberal Arts at Bowling
Green University, was as uncer
tain of the answer as all religion
ists are.
"'The accepted now is the grad
ual growth of man from animal to
the present stage. The spirit may
have been developed slowly also;
thus no definite time can be given
when man became spirited,1" be
aid.
Speaking for the second tome on

what constitutes readiness for mar

There is a God-shaped vacuum
In every man's heart that must be

speaker, said in a Nebraskan in
terview.
Some men attempt to stifle this
need or smack it down but it usual

their lives, he said. Man instinc
tively needs God, he said.
"IRE Week is a recognition of
spirituality in education intended
to give special emphasis to impor
tant things," Dr. Evans said.
Tilings similar to,R-E Week do
not constitute a whole religion,
they serve only 3o emphasize what
should be a full-time God-con

Copy Editor
One of the great myths on the
Nebraska campus was exploded
Tuesday as The Nebraskan learned
in an exclusive interview that the
Mallard Club is not, never has
been and never will be a Univer
sity organization.
The term Mallard Club has been
used as a commercial slogan, pro
marily by one individual in no
way connected with the Univer
sity, to sponsor a dance for Ne
braska students.
The name Mallard Club first ap
peared last year when two other
parties were sponsored under this
slogan.
Because of the unfortunate pub
licity connected with the Club,
those individuals responsible for
the Mallard Club Dance have of
ficially cancelled the dance for this
Friday evening.
Money collected during the pre
dance sale was refunded Tuesday
evening according to the Mallard
Club promoters.
Instead of the Mallard Club
Dance, another dance has been
scheduled for Friday night. Jerry
Carpender, manager of King's Ball
room, said that the dance will be
handled as a regular College Night
"similar to football rally nights,
The original dance, as adver
tised under the Club name, was
scheduled for Friday night at
King's Ballroom.
The dance was to be held on
the same night which had been
scheduled earlier for the laterfra
ternity Council BalL The Ball was
canceled, and the name Mallard
Club w as assumed to sponsor a
party strictly as a profit-making
enterprise.
Administration officials, learning
of the proposed venture wrote in a
letter to all University students
that the move was "an act of bad
faith" and aidvised students that
attending the dance might "forfeit
their right as an acceptable mem
ber of the University community."
The primary reason for this ac
tion by the Administration was

eliminated in the semi-finals, and
one team was eliminated an the

Nancy Copeland and Sara
Jones, freshmen team, won the
women's division. This was the
first time also an the tournament's
history that a freshman team has
won the division and the first time
that th winning team received all
five of the judges' votes.

CCRC Cofnmiffee Circulates Petitions
For Meditation Room In Union
Petitions are being circulated by
a City Campus Religious Council
committee proposing that a chapel
or meditation room be included in
the new Union.
Although there was not much
response favoring such a chapel
as indicated on the Union questkn
aires sent out earlier this year,
CCRC feels that there is a definite
need for a chapel on the campus,
according to Glenna Berry, former
CCRC president.

Dr. Rex KnowJes, Presbyterian

such a chapel would be a wonder
ful thing and I can't think of a
better place to have it than in the

There has been some discussion
as to whether a religions room or
chapel in the Union would be con
stituticmal under Nebraska law.
Miss Berry, however, said that
more pressure for such a chapel
rould have to be shown before a

Several attempts to provide a

made in the past. Miss Berry
pointed out that Temple was orig

proposed e chapel but it was found
that there was no land available
for such a building.
