wire busted" did a few im
personations. Richie Ashburn, National
League batting champion
with a .350 average, told stu

member of the Tribunal said.
Article 8 of the Tribunal's
rules of procedure states that
the hearing will be open to

havin a direct interest."

Jack Pokorney, one of the

a reporter at his hearing. -The
Nebraskan staff mem

asked if she could get in: she
had been assigned to the Tri

"Just a minute, I'll have to
find out" He shut the door
and went back to the meet
ing. He returned several times,
once to bring a chair, several
times with questions and in
structions, but never to ad
mit the reporter while the
hearing was in progress.

Houses May
Handle Cold
Treatments
Plan Would Relieve
Crowded Center
Treatment of colds in or
ganized houses rather than
at the Student Health Center
may be re-established this
year.
"We're concerned with stu
dents waiting at Student
Health for simple colds and
anxious to help them as quick
ly as possible," Dr. Samuel
Fuehnning, Student Health
Medical Director said.
He said that he thought
time could be saved by pro
viding housse with cold tab
lets and instructions for their
use.
"This way, students could
receive treatment right in
their house within five min
utese rather than spending
ten minutes walking over
here and another ten or fif
teen getting the piUs," he
added.
This program was used
somewhat last year. Dr.
Fuehnning said that it would
be started just as soon as
plans could be made with the
Panhellenic Council, IFC,
RAM Council and any other
interested organized groups.

giving the largest amount, considering
its percentage of non resident students,
among colleges and Universities in this
area."
"However," -Leppmann said, "you can
always raise money. The important thing
is to get- across to the students why you
are raising it."
He then explained that World Univers

funds completely through students and
distributes them strictly to students. '

"We are trying to help students help
themselves," Leppmann said. "The Serv
ice now is providing a loan fund with the
philosophy of self help as its goal."
Other projects with which the Service
concerns itself are improved health and
housing standards for the world's college
campuses and making the separate cam
puses part of the world student com
munity. "Our greatest problem in reaching this
last goal is apathy or a kind of isolation,
Leppmann said. "The farther west you
get, the worse it gets.
Students Apathetic
"Students are apathetic to world affairs
and the campus community. They just
haven't had time to read the newspapers.
"The Service tries to break through
this apathy. Our motto is 'They would care
if they knew, and know they shall,' " Lepp
man continued.

perclasswomen to act as
friendly big sisters to all of
the incoming freshman wom

complete revamping pro

elimination of Penny Carni
val, Miss Lichtenberger said.
Miss Lichtenberger said the
program was still in the plan
ning stages.
"We have a few tentative
improvements in mind; how
ever, we are not sore they
will be incorporated into the
final program," she added.
These include cutting down
on the number of Coed Coun
selors, selecting them by
board interviews, starting the
training program earlier in
the spring and discontinuing
it earlier in the fall and aim
ing the fall program primar
ily at Independent women.
"Any changes, of course,
will take time and careful
study. But our primary aim
is to increase the efficiency
of this organization and its
effectiveness as a counseling
service,". Miss Lichtenberger
said.
Cut Busy Work
"What we're really trying
to do is to cut out all the
busy work and any of the ac
tivities we've been carrying
on that really have nothing to
do with our stated purpose,"
she continued.
Miss Lichtenberger ex
plained that the change was
not a new idea. "We've been
thinking about cutting out
Penny Carnival and revamp
ing our program for seme
time," she said.
"This fall we decided to ac
tually put into effect some of
the changes we've been think
ing about," the Coed Coun
selor president concluded.
