Schrag said he wo uld
bring the proposal up at a

No Word
Fraternities and sororities
have also been challenged to
join the club, but no wordi
has been received from any
of these groups.
The Lincoln-Lancaster Ex
tra Point Club campaign was
begun last week and is still
underway. "Dusty" Rhoads,
Lincoln businessman and a
key worker in the drive, said
early collection reports indi
cate memberships this year
will make "last year's drive
look small."
The Lincoln-Lancaster goal
is $15,000 to $20,000. Rhoads
said that a report won't be
made on the 1958 campaign
until Friday. One ward cap
tain has reported, however,
that his group alone has al
ready received more than
$1,000

Meal Platinum Biowst
By Sondra Whalcn
Meals have presented the
biggest problem to the new
Alpha Omicron Pi house
mother, M r s. Katherine
Morrison.
Mother Kay. as the girls
call her, finds planning din
ner for 60 to 70 girls quite
different from cooking at
home.
Tough Job
"I was a housemother at
the man's hall at Doane fur
a year before coming here."
she said, "but that didn't
involve cooking. AH the
students ate together in one
big dining hall. Even plan
ning the bare necessities of
a meal here is hard!"
Born and raised in Ne
braska, Mother Kay's most
recent home was In Bea
trice. Her Ron is still living
there, while her daughter's
home Is In Wuhoo.
Sewing for her five grand
children occupies much of

Oct. 3, at the Military and Naval Science
Building.
! directed
to do so by Student
Health.
Maternity
Pregnancy and childbirth
are covered only under the
married students program.
This plan costs $30.25, and
offers maternity benefits for!
the wife.
Married students with chil
dren may receive complete
coverage for their families
for $47.
The insurance plan was de
veloped about two years ago.
"We felt there was a large
hole in the University's insur
ance coverage," Louden said.
"Students are a unique
j 'I'oup of people. Very few
nave a steady income, so we
knew that our plan had to be
inexpensive."
Lowest Bidder
After the details of the plan
were worked out, bids were
let, and the contract was giv
en to the lowest bidder as
possible for the money," Lou
don said.
An increase of approximate
ly 7 over last year is ex
pected from students who are

High Mortality
But encephalitis is far from
being as simple, common,
and conquerable as mumps.
Mortality rates vary with
the disease, but they are often
high, Dr. Underwood said.
In many epidemics they may
reach nearly 100, Dr. Un
derwood said.
And so far there is very
little to be done about the
disease. "There is no treat
ment, no cure, and no pre
vention but to get rid of mos-
