Three stu dents from Selleck Quadrangle, Ken Ash, Doug Watkins and San ford McConnell, will present a test for his telepathic abilitities. They' will present a sealed con tainer of envelopes, each of which contains a thought, to Dunninger. He will be asked to determine the number of envelopes and the mes sage of the combined thoughts. According to Dick Shugrue, Daily Nebraskan editorial page editor, a member of the Daily Nebraskan staff, who will not be disclosed un til the show, has memorized a four digit number from a news story of the October 22, 1937, Daily Nebras kan.

The code, as outlined by Fuen ning, would establish rules for such things as the amount of minimum sleeping and study space for each individual, eating facilities and storage facilities. "We don't wish To release the proposed code to the general public until the houses have had a chance to look it over and offer suggestions," Fuenning said. The proposed code will be dis tributed to member organizations of the Interfratemity Council, Co op Council and Panhellenic Council as soon as possible according to Fuenning. "The code is patterned after the code suggested by the United States Government Health Service. It is somewhat more strict than the code adopted by the city and we believe it eliminates some of the weaknesses of that code," Fuen ning said. "We hope houses will seriously consider j this code and offer us any suggestions they have to make about it," Fuenning said in clos ing.

Community Education: Administrators Discuss Last Hope Of Democracy community education is - "our last best hope to save democracy," Dean F. E. Hehzlik of the Uni versity Teachers College said Monday at a meeting of school a d minis trators at At lantic City, N. J. Speaking to a joint meet ing ot mem bers of the American As sociation of School Admin istrators and the National Courtesy Sunday Journal and Star Henzlic Association of Professors of Educational Admin istration, Dr. Henzlik said the masses today rarely see life as a whole but rather" as fragmented and specialized experiencem "Under such conditions," he ex plained, "confusion, muddle-head-edness and even moral apathy oft en flourish. These are the con ditions under which more and more people will be called to live in the future." Dr. Henzlik warned that if we don't provide "the common man with the opportunity to develop the power to make free choices, to separate the truth from falsehood and to distinguish good from evil,'! then "we must give up the right to be free men and women." He described the workings of the Nebraska Community Education Project being condcted by the University in Mullen, Syracuse, Sidney and York. Dr. Henzlik called the Project an unique example of how com munities are learning "to intefli gently identify their needs and capitalize their resources in vital izing and enriching the community living process." He explained that the Project in each town involves large num bers of citizens "organized into working groups who voluntarily accept the responsibilities of deter mining the long term needs and setting up the long-term goals for community improvement." Dr. Henzlik termed ' the ulti mate reason for maintaining pub lic schools as "improving the com munity." And in this role, he pointed out, the school must "keep open the channels and develop and re fine the living processes which constitute the cutting 'and growing edge of . democracy." Secondly, he added, "the school must stimulate and provide the educational experiences through I which people young and old are en abled to live euecuveiy ana nap- pily with themselves and with others." He commented that the process of improving the community pro vides the best education for chil dren and youth as well as for adults. "In short, it becomes a program M WTV L i.

He admitted the task of the school is not to determine what the economics, the politics, or the religion of the community should be. ' "This does not mean that the school is to be entirely aloof, for pupils must know . . . what the growing processes are, those which shape the common life of the com. munity. "They will one day use, direct and be responsible for them," Dr. Henzlik said.

Chairman of the Parking Ap peak Board, Dave Keene, , read a letter from Chancellor Hardin to Dean of Student Affairs, J. P. Colbert, concerning a proposed University Committee on parking. Speaking on the feasibility of such a committee Hardin stated: "At least, as an initial step, I would feel that subh a commit tee should be advisory in nature or, if you please, a fact-finding committee. As we progress in our efforts to meet this problem, it may develop that a policy-making group would be advisable. I feel, however, that in the beginning such a committee can best serve the University by making a study of the situation and submitting its recommendation for further con sideration." Keene stated that the Student Council proposed that the park ing committee be a "fact-finding group with authority coming from the University." According to Keene, Dean Col bert, in a letter to Chancellor Har din, suggested that the committee "be a policy making group rather than just a fact-finding group.'
