Ro8ge, Toiiy Statement Rights Misunderstanding By John Iloener and 1 George Moyer In a joint statment issued Monday night, Harry Tolly and Dwaine Rogge, Student Council president, corrected misimpressions which have resulted from Wednesday's Student Council Meeting. In the statement Rogge and Tolly agreed that Tolly's re moval from the 'Council had Tolly Rogge resulted from a misunder standing in a discussion which they had before the Council meeting. The statempnt read: "We agree that the removal of Harry Tolly from the Stu dent Council was necessary In view of Council regulations, but we regret any misinter pretations arising from the fact that a written resigna- Extra Point Club- Beta's Pledges 100 Paid The Beta Theta Pi pledge class is the first campus group to equal the Daily Ne braskan's feat of 100 mem bership in the Extra Point Club.

Pep Clubs Short Tassels president Georgann Humphrey and Larry Schrag, Corn Cob president, have ex pressed intentions for 100 membership of their groups, but neither group has yet at tained this membership. The Daily Nebraskan, the first group to attain this membership, challenged all other campus groups to equal the accomplishment, promis ing to publicize the names of any organizations that do. The Extra Point Club was originated last year to help in the recruiting of rfresh man athletes for the Univer sity. $4,500 Given Bob Wagner, president of the club, reports that last year they gave $4,500 to the University athletic depart ment. He said that this year the club hopes to raise at least $15,000. Out-state and Lancaster county sales were reported as going very well.

In this conversation a letter of resignation from Tolly was discussed but Rogge did not understand that Tolly wanted to resign at that time and Tolly did not understand that a letter of resignation was necessary in order to prevent his removal from the Council that afternoon. Rogge removed Tolly at the meeting under Article 5 Sec tion 2, of the Council consti tution which includes under duties of the president "To re move any member from the Student Council upon three unexcused absences."

What was the purpose?" Eighteen representatives of the University all found themselves being asked this same question after return ing last week from a tour of Air Training Command in Texas. "Well, to see how the Air Force trains its personnel." "Oh." Pause. "But why." Answer Perhaps the best answer is that during the course of its testing of thousands of young men and women for placement throughout the service, the Air Force has found several major areas in which persons having all levels of education are lack ing. Geography, geopolitics, basics like algebra, geom etry and physics, and gen eral knowledge of Ameri can government were areas pointed out as being soft spots in products of our edu cational system. The Educators Tour taken last week by 16 fac ulty members and two stu dents was only a part of a large program designed to acquaint educators on all levels, from grade school through college, with the type of training young men and women receive in the Air Force. The learning process in an Air Force school is at a breakneck pace. There is no such thing as strong em phasis on grades. Wash It's either pass or wash out. Or, if luck is with the student, he may just "wash back" to another class which is two weeks or so behind the first one. Lessons, such as several sat in on by the touring Ne braskans, contained about three times the material ordinarily covered in an hour's class at the Univer Vol. 33, No. 17 Frosh Girls Afforded Sign Up Opportunity . . .

"The understanding re quired by our people today in terms of the nature and prob lems of the world in which we live is a primary concern to those in education, and it is the major responsibility of the communication media to provide them with informa tion and to help them achieve this understanding," Dr. Hunter maintained.

That's what a 1957 Air ROTC graduate had to say about his class training now that he wears his 2nd lieu tenant bars. Bernard Kelly, who grad uated from the University last year in Business Ad ministration, was inter viewed during a recent Ed ucator Tour by a Daily Ne braskan staff member. More emphasis on drill and ceremony were points that Kelly said could be stressed more in ROTC training here. Kelly is stationed at Shep pard AFB, Texas, whre he is eiu oiled in an auditing course. Besides cramming day time hours with classwork and evening hours with study for a course in audit ing, the new Air Force lieu tenant spends a good many hours doing troop duty. On his first main inspection, Kelly said he inspected 15 barracks. "I thought I'd never get through," he commented. Was his military training at the University adequate?

Several Causes The increased number of activities included in the mart, four more than last year, was attributed to sev eral causes. Marilyn Pickett, chairman of publicity, said more or ganizations had been contact ed about participating than before. The increased scope of the mart, allowing groups to give information about their activ ity instead of signing up mem bers, accounted for some of the increase, according to j Miss Carlson. Prizes Discontinued The booths with the best decorations used to be award ed prizes at the Mart, said Sue Hubka, Activities Mart Chairman. Several years ago, this practice was discontinued in order to place more em phasis on the purpose of the program rather than the ap pearance of the individual booths. This year booths are not re quired to decorate around a central theme, another step towards de-emphasis of dec orations, Miss Hubka said. The group felt it was "silly for the booths to go to so much trouble" to decorate, she said, when the purpose of the program was to acquaint freshmen with activities and to create a central place where students could sign up for their first activities. "If the freshman girls want to join activities," Miss Hubka said, "this is the time to do it. I really want to en courage the girls to come to the Mart and sign up."
