NUCWA:
Meeting Tells Delegates
Modi Session Procedure
A mass meeting of all those
Interested in the Mock Legislature
scheduled by NUCWA for the week
of March 29, was held Thursday
night in the Union.
The meeting was held to acquaint
the prospective delegates with the
procedures and to allow them to
apply for districts.
Each organized house on cam
pus or any group of individuals
may register as a district, Keyes
explained.
Each district can elect a senator
and an alternate, he stated, and
can nominate one person for each
of the three elected offices. These
officers include a governor, a lieu-
tenant governor and a secretary
of state. They may also elect
any number of lobbyists, Keyes
said.
Three candidates for each of the
elected officers will be chosen by
Steering Committee from the list
of those nominated by the dis-
tricts. The final officers will be
chosen by an all-campus elec
tion, according to Keyes.
The steering, committee will be
made up of the heads of the var
ious committees within the organ
ization, Keyes explained. These
include Joyce Mason and George
Moyer, publicity chairmen; Steve
Everett, arrangements chairman;
Deedee Turner, agenda; Biff Keyes,
liason; Louie Schultz, senate; Car
lo Dahl, lobbists; Bob Krohn, bills,
Paintings;
Thorn Oils
On Display
In Ballroom
A showing of 40 original oil paint
ings will be available to students
and the public at the Union Ball
room from 2 to 7 p.m. March 18.
The paintings by Robert Thorn
of Birmingham, Mich., depict the
history of pharmacy and are being
shown in connection with the dia
mond jubilee anniversary of the
Nebraska Pharmaceutical Associa
tion. John D. Clayton of Grand Is
land, association president, is an
alumnus of the University of Ne
braska. Dean Joseph Burt of the College
of Pharmacy says the paintings,
produced under the sponsorship of
Parke Davis & Company, are com
pletely accurate scientific ally and
historically.
Planning for the series of paint
ings Degan almost w years ago
but the actual artwork was not
started until 1949. The final picture
was completed and approved last
year. Thorn, the artist, and George
A. Bender, editor of Modern Phar
macy, traveled more than 250,000
miles to complete the research ne
cessary for the paintings.
The complete series of 40 paint
ings was exhibited for the first time
in Detroit last year. The Lincoln
showing is the first in this part
of the country.
Six Changes
In Rush Week
Under Study
A proposed schedule for next
fall's fraternity rush week, involv
ing some six changes, was read
in Thursday's IFC meeting by
Charlie Fike, Council vice-president
and chairman of the rush
rules committee.
During the first day (Friday)
there would be an orientation
period from 8-9 a.m., followed by
an compulsory open house period
running from 9-1 p.m. The com
mittee proposed eight compulsory
open house dates instead of the
former six.
From 2-4 p.m. rushees would
file for their first two dates with
fraternities. The suggested plan
specifies that rushees must file for
at least four dates before pledg
ing as opposed to last year's sched
ule which stipulated three dates.
The first date, Friday, would
run from 5-8 p.m. instead of from
6-7 p.m.. as was the case last year.
Fike stated that this revision
would give fraternities more time
for rushing. The. second Friday
date would run from 8:30-10:30
P-m.
Saturday morning from 7:45
9:15 a.m. rushees would file for
their compulsory third and fourth
dates which would take' place from
9:30-12 noon (brunch) and 1-3
p.m., respectively.
The rush committee's proposed
plan then calls for a meditation
period from 3:15-4 p.m. after
which time legal pledging may
take place.
Another date lasting from 5-7
p.m. Saturday and a open rushing
period Sunday round out the tenta
tive schedule, Fike said.
Barb Millnizt, elections, and Jim
xiyuiK, committee on committees
Dwight Burney, Lt. Governor of
Nebraska has been tentatively
scheduled to address the Mock Leg
islature Friday, evening, Keyes
said.
"We hope that the mock legisla
ture will help us all to come to a
better understanding of out state
government and realize the prob
lems it faces," Keyes stated.

Special Committee:
.VflSO'
Changes involving six articles of
the Inter fraternity Constitution
were recommended Thursday
night at a regularly scheduled
IFC meeting by a special Council
committee.
Marv Breslow, chairman of the
D7C committee which was formed
on Feb. 27 to study the possibili
ties of constitutional changes read
the amendments to some 29 fra
ternity presidents.
Because of an existing Constitu
tional stipulation voting on the sug
gested revisions will not take
place until next Wednesday, ac
cording to Dick Reische presi
dent.
Included in the proposed revi
sions to the IFC Constitution were
the following changes:
A proposed change under Article
in of the existing constitution to
the effect that only delegates from
each house shall vote and that
the presiding officer shall vote
only in case of a tie. Breslow ex
plained that in the past there has
been some question as to whether
the executive members of the
Council are entitled to vote.
The committee called for a
change in Article IV of the Consti
tution that "all officers of the IFC
be required to have a 5.5 cumula
tive average." Presently the Con
stitution requires a 5.0 average
for IFC executives.
Another proposed revision of con
stitutional Article IV stated that
no fraternity shall have an offi
cer of the IFC for more than two
consecutive years." The present
constitution has no such section
dealing with executive limitation.
The final change coming under
Article rv of the present constitu
tion requires the treasurer to
'submit a monthly financial state
ment to the IFC, which statement
shall include an itemized list of
expenditures and income." The
committee explained that this

Members of the Interfraternity
executive committee will meet
with the faculty committee on
student affairs Friday at 3:30
p.m. in Ellen Smith Hall to dis
cuss the possibilities of reinstat
ing the IFC Ball, according to
Dick Reische, Council president.
Formal action on an IFC peti
tion which called for the Ball to
be a part of a "fraternity week
end" was delayed in a Monday
meeting of the student affairs
committee until more definite
facts were . presented.
"would allow the IFC tighter con
trol over expenditures."
The committee recommended
that the "IFC executive commit
tee shall enforce only the provi
sions of the Council constitution
and legislation of the Interfrater
nity Council." Breslow stated that
this proposed change would "re
strict the executive committee but
would also define their duties for
their own good."
Another item of revision under
Article V stated that "an appeal
to the, floor of the IFC shall re
quire a simple majority to over
ride the decision of the executive
committee."
The committee also recommend
ed the formation of "a General
Committee which shall be appoint
ed from members of any five
fraternities not represented on the
Executive Committee to serve in
an advisory capacity to the IFC
and to perform any special func
tions required of it by the Inter
fraternity Council."
A proposed amendment to Arti
cle X of the present Constitution
stated that "the Executive Com
mittee may consider with power

to act on eligibility questions not
covered by the IFC constitution."
The committee explained that
this would strike from the present
constitution" the clause with the
approval of the Office of Student
Affairs." The committee further
explained that "it would appear
that there is no justification for
"the student affairs clause" as
matters of elegibility are internal
matters for which the executive
committee, the IFC, the Alumni
IFC, and the IFC Board of Control
are adequate and competent au
thority." In other IFC business, Dr. Sam

Housing Code:
By GEORGE MOYER
Copy Editor
From minor to possibly some
major changes will have to be made
in a few University dwellings to
comply with the proposed housing
code;" Edward Simpson, Public
Health Engineer said Thursday.
"However, we have set a tenta
tive deadline for compliance with
the code for the fall term of the
1960 school year and if that date
needs to be advanced we are open
to reasonable suggestions," Simp
son continued.
Simpson also said that the pro
posed code "tightened up a few
weak spots" in the code recently
passed by the city. The major dif
ference between the city ordinance
and the University code is that
University housing must be ap
proved by 1960, while the Lincoln
ordinance is set up primarily as a
minimum standard for houses un
der construction.
Several other features of the Uni
versity code which differ from the
Lincoln ordinance concern more
stringent requirements for the use
of hot water and a provision that
plumbing must protect againstj
back siphonage or cross connec
tion. Dr. Samuel Fuenning, Director of
University Health Services and
Student Health emphasized that the
new code was not an attempt to
force freshmen to live in the Uni
versity dormitory. "The board of
regents already has a regulation
tnat requires freshmen men to
live in University dormitories and
we were merely quoting that regu
lation. "Health and safety are our main
objective. Most houses can meet
the requirements of the code right
now, and in those that can't we
are attempting to prevent any in
cident that would be dangerous to
the occupants. Our job is not only
to treat people when they are sick
or injured but to keep them from
becoming that way," Fuenning con
tinued. "There has been no established
code up to now," Simpson stated,
"we feel a code is necessary be
cause otherwise University dwel
lings would fall under city juris
diction. There is more co-operation
if University students are working
with University officials. Our pro
posed code is no stricter than those
of other major colleges and uni
versities having codes and except
for two points, the city code is just
as strict."

Code.
"After we have approval from
the organized groups we shall send
the Code in for administrative ap
proval," Simpson added.
"It will be up to the Board of
Regents to decide ultimately on
the Code," Simpson added.
The University has the power to
approve or disapprove of Univer
sity residences, according to Simp
son. Formal action on the question of
fraternity initiation averages was
postponed. The issue is whether
the present 5.0 average shall bo
maintained or a 4.5 change shall
be adopted.
to see if they comply with the code
will begin next Monday. Inspection
of Sorority houses is now going on
and eight houses have already been
inspected. Cooperative student bou
es will be inspected in the near fu
ture according to Simpson. v
Fuenning asked that houses pre
sent constructive criticism of the
plan. "We don't want to force any
thing on anybody. If there are any
suggestions about the code which
students want to make we want to
hear them."

Gustavson he said. Stud
ies of primitive man and of ani
mals show that the personal con
viction that death is inevitable
shortens the struggle against it.
"Ominous and persistent fear"
apparently can end the life of
man, he noted. Scientists have
seen this in the otherwise inexplic
able deaths of natives who be

against the prohibitions of voodoon,
said Gustavson.
''Evidence for ascribing death
to fear rather than to pathological
cause has been found in some war
time casualties. It had also been
found in persons who died at the
sight of blood, at hypodermic in
jections or from sudden immersion
in water," he said.
Animal experimentation has
shownn that trapped wild rats will
die for no other reason than hope
lessness in the face of danger, but
that with some degree of hope they
will struggle longer and survive.
"The implications of kind of
study for the world in which we
live one dominated by fear must
be obvious," Gustavson said.
