Houdini, and Howard Thurston, the
great magician, went to great
lengths in his search for the secret
of Dunninger's feats. .
Some University' skeptics will
challenge Durminger. 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. By these two tests, the stu
dents will attempt to determine the
authenticity of Dunninger's alleged
mind-reading powers.
Tickets are on sale at Gold's and

$1.50; lounge, $1.50 and $1.25; bal
cony, $1.25 and $1.00; and main

Since this is an audience par

proved one, and University health
officials have long felt that such a

The code, as outlined by Fuen

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

"We hope houses will seriously

Community Education:

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

'Possible'
This Spring
Members of the University In

faculty advisor, Dr. Bertrand
Schultz, conferred with Dean of
Students Affairs, J. P. Colbert,
Tuesday, concerning the possibili
ties of having an IFC Ball this
spring, according to Dick Reische,

Reische stated that the IFC
executive committee will appear
before the faculty committee on
student affairs to submit a writ
ten outline of the IFC Ball and
other Council ideas. No definite
date for the meeting has been set,
Reische said.
The possibility of having several
days of IFC activities with a
dance to end the program will be
presented to the student affairs
committee, after the Council de
cides on definite plans, Reische
added.
"I think that if such a program
is planned right it will be a real
success for the University fraterni
ties," Reische commented.
" The privilege of having a Ball
was taken away from the IFC in
1955 by the office of student af
fairs. Last fall the IFC unsuccessfully
petitioned the office of student of
.affairs Asking permission to have
Ball reinstated.

He added that the ballots for
this year's officers were probably
destroyed and that it would be
virtually impossible to summon
them to select Neff's replacement.
Mossman was unable to in

presented during the first semester
of the academic year.
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.'
