The Interfraternity Council
Wednesday voted 23-1 to fine Theta
Chi fraternity $250 and deprive it
of social and initiation privileges as
a result of a pledge hazing inci
dent last week.
Theta Chi was denied all social
privileges for the entire school year
and may not initiate any new mem
bers into the fraternity until second
emester under the IFC ruling.
The Theta Chi IFC representa
tive approved the latter two ac
tions, but appealed the fine as "ex
cessive," according to Dick Arne
on, IFC president. His appeal,
however, was unsuccessful.
The IFC took action against the
fraternity after several Theta Chi
actives were involved in a pledge
aneak incident last week in which
a pledge was partially disrobed
and enveloped in a mattress cover.
The pledge was then left in the
entrance hall of the sorority.
Action was taken against Theta
Chi under an IFC article in the
constitution which forbids hazing

Eldon Linder of York, president
of Theta Chi, said the fraternity

The names of the pledge and ac

the IFC had considered the inci

He said, however, that "if the
University administration wants
more details we'll give them the
information they want." Linder
refused to announce what action
the fraternity planned, if any,
against the individuals involved.
The Theta Chi president said
he felt this was "an internal prob

Student Council, Wednesday
passed a motion by Connie Hurst
recommending that the names of
the Homecoming Queen candidates
be released to the Daily Nebras
kan in time for Friday's publica
tion. Also included in the motion was
a request that voting on Home
coming Queen be changed to a
1 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. election. At
the present time the election is
to be held after tonight's pep rally.
Candidates will be announced then,
and voting will proceed from 7
p.m. to 10 p.m.

"We did extend the hours
though. (The first announcement of
the voting plans had the election

three full hours 7-10 to vote,"
Miss Schrader said.
"We will take more considera
tion of the Council request after
the election. I feel that under the
circumstances we have done our
best to compromise with the re
quest," Miss Schrader concluded.
When asked why the election
was originally planned without the
announcement of the candidates
until the pep rally, Miss Schrader
said, "We thought there would be
less politicing that way."

And according to Dave Crain,
midshipman executive officer of the
Naval ROTC at the University this
"failure to pass the word" has
wound up in a misunderstanding on
the part of some students regard
ing membership in the Battalion
Recreation program.
It was reported to the Daily Ne
braskan by one student in the
naval science program that every
student in the Navy program who
did not pay the membership dues
in the BRC would be "on report."
The constitution of the BRC was
rejected by the Student Council
Judiciary Committee earlier this
semester because it had the regu
lation in it stipulating that each
Naval Science student must pay
the dues. . .
"But," Crain explained, "This
clause was stricken from the con
stitution and it was given back
to the Council for approval."
And John Kinnier, chairman of
the Council Judiciary group stated
that the new constitution, without
the compulsory clause, has been
passed by that group and
awaits approval of the council in
general.
Some Naval ROTC students, ap
parently, did not understand the
meaning of being placed on report,
Crain said. "This just means that
they will come before the execu
tive officer and a discussion of
the midshipman's reasons will fol

it mean that a student will be repri

A group of University students
have undertaken a drive to im
prove spirit on the campus.
The men, Maury Niebaum, Dick
Gustafson and Gary Frieling, are
attempting to enlist campus-wide
help in their drive. Organizations
contacted include the Residence
Halls for Men and Women as well
as fraternities and sororities.
The group has also asked the
athletic department to co-operate.
As a result, the department is
having over 2,000 pamphlets con
taining Husker songs and yells
printed for Saturday's game. The
pamphlets will be distributed Fri
day by members of the Kappa
Sigma fraternity.
Included in the pamphlet will be
songs "Hail Varsity," "Hail Ne
braska,' and "March of the Corn
huskers," which will be sung at
the end of the game this week, ac
cording to Donald Lentz, Husker
band mentor.
Commenting about the student
spirit drive, Athletic Director Bill
Orwig said, "As I told the IFC,
we 'are heartily behind anything
that might build spirit. If the stu
dents will co-operate with leaders
of this thing and get behind it,
I think we will really get some
thing going here."

program for the students. "This is
just a case of failure to get the in

to be a simple misinterpretation

McQuistan also announced that
the school song, "There Is No
Place Like Nebraska," will be
sung when the team goes into
its pregame huddle. "Maury found
out that that proved very effec
tive with the basketball team last
year," he said.
Among the things proposed by
the group are yelling contests at
the game. "Almost every house
has some yell of their own which
they can use," N i e b a u m said,
"What we want is to see every
house trying to outyell the other
house at that game." We've al

"Another thing we'd like to see
are banners hung in front of all
the houses before a home game.
I am sure, with all the enthusi
asm we've met so far, this thing
is going to be a great success."
Niebaum said.
One of the most effective mo
