Custer, a quad-rated air op erations officer of Strategic Air Command, now stationed at Lincoln Air Force Base, added that SAC is responsi ble for training crews that are strong enough to deter any enemy action. He explained that though the Air Force is on 24-hour alert, a planned practice flight requires 30 hours of preparation. Consideration must be given to the route, the weather, the fuel, target study and personnel. An invi tation must be extended from the government of any for eign country to be entered. Following a brief explan ation of the NUCWA com mittees, new members were asked to select the ones on which they would like to work. M actings will be held every other Tuesday evening.

Hell Week The first thing that got the axe in house clean ing was hell week. All per sonal service was elim-' inated. Probably the most unusual aspect of the Sig Alph pro gram is their individual schol arship minimum set up for each active and pledge.

The Board of Regents Sat urday increased by $30 per academic year the present charge of $570. Board and room costs at the Curtis School of Agricul ture were also raised from $540 to $570. Inadequate Rate W. C. Harper, director of University Services, told the Soil Lab Suggestion Appears Out The University of Nebraska Board of Regents failed to act Saturday on the soil test ing laboratory proposal for the western part of the state, and the issue appears to be closed. Regent J. LeRoy Welsh of Omaha said he was convinced that there "is little need for the University's opening an other laboratory." He went on to say "It is my under standing that the laboratory located in Lincoln is equipped to serve farmers from all over the state who wish to have their samples mailed to college." Welsh Suggested Welsh had suggested Sept. 20 that the University con sider opening a western soil testing laboratory, but visits with NU agriculture authori ties since the last Regents meeting has convinced him that there is little need for opening another laboratory. Private Testing He also pointed out that tests can be run by private laboratories and that it is the policy of the NU laboratory to work with the private companies. Since the previous, meeting several objections had been received regarding the sug gested laboratory and stating that existing soil testing facil ities are "already available from privately owned, inde pendent, taxpaying laborato ries throughout the state."

Adams, station superintend ent, Murray Danielson, as sistant in animal husbandry at the Station and Guy Baker, member of the station staff, also spoke. A tour of the cattle experi ments was followed by the series of speeches concerning the efficient use of feed, ener gy in feeds, adequate water for livestock, beef production testing and beef research re sults.

Penalty for failure to make these averages ranges from probationary action, which requires the active or pledge to attend study halls all the way to suspension or expulsion from the chapter. Minimum averages range from 5.3 to 7.1. - Bob Blair, president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, re ports that so far the pro gram has resulted in a much quieter and better study atmosphere, closer friend ship between actives and pledges and an overall boost in house spirit. board in a letter that "tha present rate is inadequate to enable most of our housing units to meet operating ex penses and bond require ments." After hearing of the boost in charges, Mr. Alfred Cal vert, head resident advisor of Selleck Quadrangle, agreed there was a definite need for an increase. He stated that the major factors were "an increase in food costs raw food increased seven per cent overall last year, and in creases in wages. UN dorm rates are among the cheapest in the Big Eight," he added, "and the rates haven't been raised in four years." Miss Sukey Tinan, student, Women's Residence Halls, stated "It seems like too much of a raise, but I sup pose it's necessary." A student counselor at Sel leck Quadrangle, Robert Kuzelka, told reporters the increase was not raising con troversy at the Quads, and the monthly paymerts wouldn't be increased so much that students couldn't afford it. In Texas Air Force Hosts Staff, Students Eighteen members of the University of Nebraska staff and student body left Sunday to tour U.S. Air Force bases in Texas. The purpose of the four day trip is to give the Nebraskans an opportunity to study air training command bases, the universities of the Air Force, according to Dr. Frank p. Sorenson, Chairman of the University's department of educational services and head of the tour group. ' Helpful He also observed that an examination of Air Force testing and guidance pro cedures should be helpful to educators concerned with this field. Highlights of the fifth trip sponsored by the University's Air Age Education Division are the testing and guiding techniques of the reception center at Lackland Air Force Base; training techniques at another base and a review of "on the line" work.
