stipulations set down by the Com
mittee. On May 29 the Klub appealled
for reinstatement, presenting a
proposed plan for the presentation
of their show. The stipulations set
down by the committee were tak
en largely from this proposed plan,
Bedwell said.
The main reason the show was
objected to last fall was because
of the master of ceremonies, Bed
well said. This year there will be
an active undergraduate member
of the Klub acting as announcer
instead of a master of ceremonies
from outside the Klub, he added.
Jokes and stories told by last
year's master of ceremonies,
Marshall Kushner, University
graduate, brought objections from
older persons in the audience.
These objections resulted in the
banning of the show last fall.
The stipulations include the fol
lowing points:

Damage Slight:
Torch Starts
Fire In New
Building
Students were startled Thursday
afternoon to see smoke pouring
from the second floor of the un
finished Teacher College Adminis
trative Wing.
The Lincoln Fire Department
received the alarm at 3:18 p.m.
and rushed three fire engines and
two truck companies to the scene.
The five trucks stood by until the
fire was extinguished.
The fire started when a
spark from a welding torch blew
into a pile of insulation stored on
the second story of the building.
The gusty winds Thursday were
blamed for the mishap.
The insulation was to be used
between the floors of the building.
It was the only loss as the fire de
partment quickly brough the blaze
under control. No one was injured.
Traffic was halted on north 14th
street for about half an hour while
the fire was being fought.
Sunday:
Adjustment
In Library
Hours Set
The University library has insti
tuted an adjustment in Sunday
hours effective this week, accord
ing to Bernard Kreissway, main as
sistant director of the library for
humanities.
Beginning Sunday, the library
will be open from 1:30 to 6 p.m.
instead of from 2 to 9 p.m. as pre
viously. Kreissway explained that a close
check had been kept upon the at
tendance at the library on Sundays
and that the attendance did not
justify the expense of opening the
library on Sunday evenings.
"I am sure that the adjustment
in hours will continue to satisfy the
needs of the student body," Kreiss
way stated.

Off Campus
Houses Seek
Parking Spols
The Student Council Wednesday
approved a motion that the Coun
cil parking board investigate the
possibility of providing for parking
spaces near Love Library for the
use of off-campus organized
houses.
The matter came up when John
Kinnier, representing the Co-op
Council, moved that parking space
be reserved near the Library for
Brown Palace Co-op. Two weeks
previously the council had passed
a motion calling for the parking
board to look into the possibility of
getting similar space for Delta
Upsilon fraternity.
After Kinnier's first motion lost,
he moved that the motion involv
ing the DU's be reconsidered. Mick
Neff, Council vice-president an
nounced that research into the
matter had already began, and
that the board was seeing if space
could be attained for all off-campus
houses, not particularly the DU's.
The Council then passed the mo
tion covering the action being
taken by the Board.
Atlantic
Hope Dims
For Missing
AF Plane
Hope dimmed Friday morning
for the rescue of 50 Lincoln-based
Air Force personnel missing in the
Atlantic aboard a U.S. Military
Air Transport Service plane.
As an extensive air-sea search
went into the second day, Air
Force officials reported no sight of
wreckage nor radio contact with
any possible survivors.
The plane was returning 50 Air
Force personnel to Lincoln from
England Thursday and carried a
crew of nine Navy personnel. Of
the 50 passengers, two officers and
eight enlisted men lived off the
base and listed Lincoln addresses,
one lived in Milford and 39 lived
at the base.
Air Force officials were optimis
tic because of good weather, rela
tively calm seas and the abund
ance of survival equipment aboard
the plane, a military version of
the DC-6. An Air Force official
said Thursday there were "more
than enough" life rafts and "if a
landing was made at sea without
breaking up the plane, chances
for survival and rescue are excellent."

to hold an Interfraternity Council
Ball at the Turnpike. The Council's
right to hold a party at Turnpike
was withdrawn two years ago aft
er the IFC Ball that Spring.
"The IFC is willing to co-operate
with the University in having
this party and will make every
reasonable effort to see that the
spirit of University social regula
tions is carried out. In order to
best do this, the Council will hire
an adequate force of County Dep
uty's to assure the good conduct
and safety of the students attend
ing. In addition we will make each
house president responsible for the
conduct of the members of his fra
ternity and in any case where the
house president dose not act ef
fectively the Interfraternity Coun
cil will take action against the fra
ternity involved."
Ellis admitted that the section
referring to discipline of member
fraternities was "vague." He also
stated that the withdrawal of the
right to hold the Ball at the Turn
pike was a result of "bad con
duct on the part of a few individ
uals." The committee on student af
fairs withdrew the IFC's privilege
of holding the annual dance at an
off-campus location last fall in a
message from J. P. Colbert, Dean
of Student Affairs.
Fraternity members believed the
action was a result of drinking
which took place openly at the
dance. The IFC considered the pos
sibility of holding the dance at
the Coliseum, but this proposal was
overwhelmingly rejected. ,
Last year's IFC officers stated
that a dance held at the Coliseum
would very likely result in a fi
nancial loss. The IFC then voted
against having a dance in 1956.
The event is usually held in the
early spring.
An almost unanimous vote em
powered Ellis to appear before
the faculty committee with the
proposal.
In other business, the IFC passed
a motion stating that fraternity
pledge classes would no longer car-

name of the fraternity on the ban
ner. Ellis said it was the consensus
that recent disturbances at tht
rallies had been caused by fr
ternity pledge classes and the sit
uation was "getting way out of
hand."
Paul Zucker, Beta Sigma Psi
president, said most of the men
bothering pledges of his fraternity
were from Selleck Quad.
Several IFC fraternity represen

the past incidents had centered in
competition among pledge classes
to place their banners in a strateg
