Humanities Group Plans Faculty Show Several recent works of the Uni versity faculty will be displayed Friday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Third Annual Humanities Tea. Included are books, plays, poems, study aids, music, encyclo pedia articles, text books, essays, recently exhibited works of art, concert programs, theater pro gram, art work, ceramics and translations. This exhibit is organized by the humanities section of Love Library to display the critical and creative vitalities of a major part of the faculty of the humanities, ac cording to Bernard Kreissman, as sistant director. The exhibit will be on display for several weeks in the second floor lobby of Love Library. should correctly be attributed to a student's desire to learn more about the profession he would be in after school. "For example, a student works on the Cornhusker or the Daily Ne braskan in order to gain knowledge about whatever phase of the jour nalism field he wishes to enter," Miss Holt explained. "In other activities, such as Un ion or Builders, a person can learn to work with people, develop re sponsibility and other qualities that will benefit him whatever his pro fession might be. The members of the panel in cluded Joanie Weerts, senior to arts and sciences, Emmie Limpo, sophomore in arts and sciences, Ken Saunders, graduate student in mathematics, and Pete Laughlin, program director of KNUS, who served as moderator. Niebaum also brought out the fact that out of 8000 students on this campus, only 200 or 300 were carrying the load of all the activi ties. This started a discussion of the reasons why all students did not participate, especially since there are so many activities that at least one should interest any student. Niebaum placed part of the blame on a nation-wide apathy which seems to be seen on every college campus not only regarding activities but other forms of col lege participation, such as school spirit. . x '. - v. fr I States."

Lack Energy: r life' To fulfill Meeds By MARGARET WERTMAN Staff Writer Vitamin pills may well provide the solution to the alleged campus parking problem. Students, who don't have the en ergy to walk a few blocks be tween classes, seem to be the problem not lack of space. Contrary to public opinion, campus parking facilities are ad equate to fulfil (he need of park ing student, faculty and employee cars, according to James Pitten ger, assistant to the chancellor and director of parking on campus. Questions asked of several chronic complainers showed the basic reason for no space com plaints was that such and such a building was a block or two or three, whatever the case may be, from the "emptiest" parking lot. These students would apparently ask for a private parking space, marked with their name, directly in front of the door to the building which houses each of his class rooms. Recent Survey A recent survey taken by the campus police, showed that only eight times, during the hours of 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. were all the parking stalls in any lot on camp us filled. Only five times during the week were all faculty stalls occupied at any hour. Not more than one lot, either faculty or student, was filled at a given time on a given day. Other findings show that: the 17th street northside ave nue lot was not used. Every day during the survej. the 17th street lot had between 200 and 250 vacant stalls. vacancies in other lots aver aged around the 20 to 27 mark. The survey is taken by the campus police every year, two cr three times during the first part of the semester. The report also shows the number of students parking in faculty lots. Three Principles Pittenger emphasized that three basic principles must be consid ered concerning the parking diffi culties. 1. A student doesn't have to have a car to get an education. 2. The physical layout of the campus could never permit a 1 1 students to have a place to park in a central area. 3. If storage areas are provided by the University, the University is doing more than its job, which is education. Adequate parking facilities on the campus as a whole have al ready been provided by the Uni versity. As of Oct. 28th, 4,764 stick ers had been issued to the faculty, students an employes of the Uni versity. 3,500 Spaces There are about 3,500 parking places in the lots and an additional five to six hundred in street areas. All cars with stickers are by no means on the campus at the same time, Pittenger pointed out. The Ag Campus has almost no problem as only 480 permits for the 846 stalls were issued this year. Of course, persons from the downtown campus must use park ing stalls on the ag campus, but some are missing from out there at the same time. , Pittenger said it must also be taken into account that the ag campus is more free to expand and is not bounded by the business dis trict of a city. The main request is for more central parking space. Solutions Solutions to this problem from numerous sources include: prohibition of freshman park ing heart of campus to be reserved for necessary parking renting of stalls parking me ters reservation of certain a r e a s for visitors park building Campus police reports show that in 1956-57, 1,210 freshmen obtained permits. Pittinger pointed out that the freshmen live generally in the dorms and the fraternity houses and park their cars at or near these locations. So restricting the freshmen from parking in the con gested areas would bring the prob lem no nearer solution. It has been suggested from time to time that the central or strateg ic areas of the campus be reserved for employees, faculty, etc., who must have a car in order to carry out their work. Included in this group would be the public rela tions department, the purchasing department, faculty members vho had classes both on the downtown campus and the ag campus and, or in general, persons who need to travel and transport goods from one section of the campus to an other. Stall Rental Renting of stalls to those who desire a location in the heart of the campus is high on the list of recommendations. Along this same line is included the placing of parking meters near the li brary, dental college and Morrill Hall which handle outside visitors. Persons desiring the use of these facilities must have a place to park their cars if they wish to take full advantage of the University serv ices. It also must be remembered that these facilities cannot operate to give the students the experience that is their purpose if outsiders cannot come into the University. Central Parking Central parking could also be reserved for those not attending the University, but using its fa cilities. Student care would then be kept in the storage areas and fringe parking lots, Pittenger said. A park building to be located in the central area, has been sug gested by many including the Greek houses. Such a building, it has been speculated, would pay for itself in time, as have the downtown buildings. But, Pittenger pointed out, on campus the building would be op erating only five days a week dur ing nine months of the year. Stu dents would not generally park in the pay areas if there was an other spot vacant and soon would be saying "I'm broke parking my car on campus." It would also be impossible to park the registered 4,764 cars in the building. ! Of course, it would be impossible Medical College Sets Interviews The University College of Medi cine Admissions Committee will interview students interested in gaining admisson to that college Dec. 4, accordng to Eugene Pow ell, premedical advisor. Students should immediately ar range for their appointments by signing the schedule posted on the bulletin board at 306 Bessey Hall, Powell said. Pharmacists To Convene On Campus Moot Court Team Wins, Then Loses The University Moot Court team emerged triumphant from their first regional test Wednesday in St. Louis, defeating the University of Kentucky. The University then lost Thurs day against Kansas University. The loss eliminated the Nebras kans from further competition. The Moot Court competition among ten midwestern law schools was sponsored by the University of Washington and the St. Louis Bar Association. The winner of the competition earns the right to go to New York for further com petition. Finals are Friday. The students argued the legality of the discharge of a mythical Press Luncheon A Daily Nebraskan Press Luncheon will be held Friday at 12 noon in Parlor X in the Union, according to Jack Pollock, editor. Paid Nebraskan and Cornhusk er staff, staff workers, section heads, reporters, workers on the Nebraskan and Cornhusker, and members of the Board of Pub licity and School of Journalism are cordially invited to attend. Reports will be given by Ne braskan and Cornhusker staff editors and business editors who attended the National Collegiate Press Association convention in New York. Staff writers will be introduced.

The seminar will be sponsored by the College of Pharmacy and Ex tension Division of the University in cooperation with the Nebraska Pharmaceutical Association and the Lancaster County Pharmaceu tical Society. Student Council Student Council, Wednesday, defeated by three votes a motion placed on conduct probation by the University. The defeated amendment sta ted: "Any Student Council mem ber who is placed on conduct probation by the University shall automatically be removed from membership on the Student Coun cil." The motion was a by-law f the Constitution and needed two-thirds vote, which required twenty-two members' approval in order to pass. The voting re sulted 19-13 in favor of the mo tion and thus it was defeated. Science, Math Tops MU Frosh Lack language Instruction By PAT COOVER Special Writer Between 55 and 60 per cent of freshmen entering the University had no language instruction, ac cording to a survey conducted by NU's Bureau of Instructional Re search.
