scrtary
Arnold Magnuson, 32, executive
vice president of the Beatrice
Chamber of Commerce, has been
named executive secretary of the
University Alumni Association.
Magnuson, a 1948 graduate from
the University, will succeed Jamas
Pittenger, who resigned recently
to accept the position as adminis
trative aide to Chancellor Clifford
Hardin.
Since graduation, Magnuson has
served as manager of various de
partments for the J.C. Penney
Company in Lincoln, and was sec
retary-manager of the Falls City
Chamber of Commerce before
taking the Beatrice Chamber po
sition. Commenting on his new job,
Magnuson said "My wife and I
have always liked Lincoln and are
very proud of the University of Ne
braska. It is very pleasing to me to
have the opportunity to work with
the Alumni Association and the
University.
"The next ten years will be crit
ical ones in American education.
The expected 5ft per cent increase
in college enrollment will tax the
system to the extreme. I hope, that
as Alumni Secretary and head of
a well organized Association, to
be able to play a hand in the
strengthening of the University for
your children as well as mine."
Magnuson will take over official
ly on May 1.
Library Finds
Book Display
Space Lacking
Plans are being made for the
purchase of book display cases for
the Love Library lobby, Bernard
Kreissman, assistant director of
the library, announced Thursday.
Professors Frank Lundy, Library
Director, and Bertrant Schultz, Di
rector of the Art Museum, are
supervising the project.
The idea for the display cases
was conceived when tvo visitors to
the University commented on spac
iousness for book displays and the
fine collection of art, but that
there was no place to put thern,
he said.
At present the American Lltera-ture-Orr
Room in trie only spot
where displays can be shown,
Kreissman said.
One difficulty is thate funds
to finance this project will not be
drawn from tax funds, he Bdded.
"We hope that shortly the cases,
V'hich will demonstrate to the stu
I"nts and visitors the treasures of
th University library, can be ob
tuined," Kreisftrnan, said.

or Entrance
In Ivy Sing
Kosmet Klub has received a pe
tition from the Residence Assoc
iation for Men for entrance of the
RAM Glee Club in the Ivy Day
singing competition.
The RAM is proud to be able
to offer the services 'of its Glee
Club in helping to make the Ivy
Day sing an all-campus event,"
Douglas Jenson, RAM president
said. Kosmet Klub invited the
RAM to compete last year, but
Selleck Quadrangle had no glee
club organization, Jenson said.
'Kosmet Klub is happy to see
this interest on the part of RAM
in the Sing," Von Innes, Kosmet
Klub president said. "There are,
however, several complications,"
he continued. "The RAM Glee Club
represents some 800-900 men, while
a iraternity chorus would repre
sent a membership of 100 at the
very maximum."
"Personally, I feel that it would
be unfair to place the RAM Glee
Club in competition for that rea
son," Innes said. "Also, at the
present time the Kosmet Klub con
stitution states that they shall spon
sor an 'Interfraternity Sing' on Ivy
Day."
"If the Innocents-Mortar Board
committee on Ivy Day would allow
the time, the Kosmet Klub would
like to see the RAM Glee Club in
cluded on the program this year
as a guest group, not entering the
competition," Innes said.
Possibly this could be expanded
in following years to include the
various dorm houses and men's
cooperatives in the competition,"
Innes said.
The RAM Glee Club has been
organized since last fall, under the
direction of Dick Oehring, and is
fully prepared to enter the Ivy
Day sing, Jenson said. '

New Buildings:
Expansion In Store
For Campus Mouses
Considerable expansion is ki
store for the University campus
as two fraternities, two student
religious houses and a sorority
plan for new facilities.
Kappa Sigma fraternity, whose
work on a new house began on
September 6, 1955, hope to see
the building completed by the end
of May, according to Jan Pickard,
past president. The new modern
style house will consist of two
connected buildings, one contain
ing the library, living room and
house mother's quarters, and one
containing the dining room, study
and sleeping quarters.
The latter are unique on the
University campus, Pickard said,
being neither dormitory nor study
room style. Instead, each four
man sleeping room will be flanked
by two-man study rooms. The
house, built at a cost of $214,
000, will accomodate 72 people.
Dissatisfaction with the location
and condition of the present house
was given as the reason for mov
ing. Delta Upsilon fraternity has not
yet contracted for the building of
their new house, but hope to have
it ready by next September, ac
cording to Joe Krause, president.
It will be located on the corner of
16th and Vine. The modern brick
and stone structure will accommo
date 48 -to 64 people.
Delta Gamma sorority will not
continue with plans for their new
house which will be located at
636 North 16th Street until they
have sold their present house. In
conventient location and the crowd
ed house necessitated the move, ac
cording to Carol Link, vice-president.
The Lutheran Student House is
planning an annex for a worship
sanctuary, according to the Rev.
Alvin M. Peterson, pastor. There
is no definite time schedule on
the project, but the Student House
hopes to have the sanctuary ready
in a year or two.

Health Day
Panel Talks
On Stress
An international authority in the
field of stress in everyday living
said Thursday afternoon that "we
should accept a certain amount of
stress as Inherent in life and only
fight stress where it obviously
weakens, wears out and results in
disease.
Dr. Gunnar Heuser, research as
sociate at the Institute of Experi
mental Medicine and Surgery, Uni
versity of Montreal, appeared on
a panel at the annual College
Health Day.
Dr. Heuser said it has been
shown by experiments that the
body reacts to stress with a very
typical set of symptoms.
"This response leads the organ
ism into a stage of adaptation to
stress. It is a normal reaction of
a normal organism. Only if
stress is too severe or too pro
longed, or if the body's reactions
become deranged, disease ensues.
This should be prevented.
"However, stress can also he,
under circumstances, a stimulus
to a healthy full life."

Thirty-five women have pledged
Zeta Tau Alpha to form the newest
addition to Sorority Row.
The fifteenth sorority, Zeta Tau
Alpha, formerly had a chapter here
which was forced off campus dur
ing the depression for financial
reasons.
Pat Coover was elected presi
dent of the new sorority. Other
officers include Bonnie Prior, vice
president; Pat Alvord, recording
secretary; Pat Patterson, corre
sponding secretary, and Janice
Larson, treasurer.
"We win participate in Rush
Week next fall and also hope to
participate in campus activities
this spring," Miss Coover said.
A house with Georgian style
architecture and pillars will be
constructed by the sorority on
University Terrace near 17th and
R streets.
The organization of the new so
rority began last October. "We be
lieve that another sorority is need
ed on campus and we are thrilled
to see that this sorority has be
come a reality," Miss Coover said.
Zeta was founded at Longwood
College in Farmville, Va., Oct. 15,
1898. It was chartered as a legal
corporation in 1902, thus becoming
the first sorority to be chartered in
Virginia and the only one ever to
be chartered by a special act of
the legislature.

University interpretation of Re

and the Union are subject to the
Council's average requirement,
was presented at the Student Coun

The interpretation, as approved
in December, 1953, by Acting
Chancellor John Selleck, stated
that IFC and Panhellenic are sub

and the Dean of Student Affairs.
"These groups may take no ac

make such regulations affecting
only fraternities and sororities as
they may desire," the approved
interpretation stated.
This interpretation is in effect
until further administrative action,

said.
This policy states that the
Council has no authority over fra
