Regents' Study
Regents to study their propos
al which read;
Whereas, fraternity and sorority rush
ing at the University of Nebraska has
caused many local, social, community
and school problems,
Whereas, the present system of rush
ing does not present to the rushers the
proper collegiate picture of fraternity
and sorority life and membership,
Whereas, the social demands of fra
ternities and sororities are contributing
cause of first year students neglecting
studies.
Whereas, it is the opinion of many
school administrators thst rushing ac
tivities prior to actual university enroll
ment and first year pledging have many
undesirable features.
Therefore be It resolved that, Nebras
ka Association of School Administrators
request the Chancellor and the Bosrd of
Regents to study this problem and take
such action as may be needed to cor
rect this situation.
The proposal was drawn up
because several administrat
or' had asked the resolutions
committee to do so, accord
ing to Dr. Mel Everingham,
assistant superintendent of
schools at Sidney and chair
man of the committee.
Comments by various fra
ternity and sorority officials:
William Bogar, committee
member who has appeared
before the Interfraternity
Council regarding the rush
ing program said "I think
that it's a situation which no
doubt needs attention or the
NASA would not have passed
the resolution.
Dr. C. B. Schultz, one of
the three IFC advisers, said
the IFC had been working to
imnrove the rushing program
since last spring but had not
yet reached a solution, ne
said all groups might be bear
ing the burden of a minority
as far as implied improper
rushing practices were con
cerned. Gary CadwallaoVr, IFC
president, said the IFC was
"anxious to work with the
school administrators to rem
edy any problems" but want
ed to know specifically what
the administrators considered
problems.
Lynne Meyers, Panhellenic
president, said Panhel rules
eliminate a summer rushing
program and there had been
no summer rushing as far as
she knew.

Psych Clinic
Held at Curtis
A two-day psychological
clinic was conducted this
week at Curtis by members
of the department of psychol
ogy. They were Dr. Marshall
Jones, professor of psychol
ogy, who also spoke at a gath
ering of Curtis school admin
istrators and personnel on
"How Society Approaches the
Mental Health Problem;" Dr.
David Levine, associate pro
fessor of psychology; and
graduate students Fred Stri
der of Nebraska City and
R. A. Ruiz and Tom Patter
son, both of Lincoln.
The clinic, which was spon
sored by the Frontier County
Welfare Office, included 22
cases from Frontier, Lincoln
and Red Willow counties.
The Daily
for
ine property which the
Methodist group was consid
ering for a new building is
located on the east side of
16th Street between U and
Vine Streets. It is presently
owned by the Delta Gamma
sorority and is now used as
a parking lot.
Inadequate Facilities
Appearing for the Founda
tion, Jack Stewart explained
that present facilities are not
adequate to serve the 2,000
Methodist students enrolled
at the University.
Stewart said that plans for
the construction of a $125,000
religious center were ap
proved last spring at the
state Methodist conference.
He added that the present
Methodist Student House at
1417 R could probably be sold
to Phi Gamma Delta fratern
ity which is located next door.
Don Bloom, appearing for the
fraternity, agreed that his
group was interested since
there was no other way for
them to expand or alter pres
ent conditions.
'Accommodation' Policy . .
"It has been the policy of
the board to accommodate re
ligious groups insofar as pos
sible," Chancellor Clifford
Hardin said.
He continued that the prop
erty that was being consid
ered is part of the area the
University has designated for
additional residence houses.
The University now has title
to nearly half the area
planned for dormitory devel
opment. It was decided that before
action was taken the Method
ist group would look at other
desirable locations which
would not interfere with the
long-term planning of the Uni
versity. Russian Visit
Wins Approval
The entertaining oi 5 rectors
of Russian universities on the
University campus was ap
proved by the University
Board of Regents.
Chancellor Clifford Hardin
said tnat tunas win be pro-
vided by the State Depart
ment for their entertainment
the first week of December.
He added that only a gen-i
eral tour would be offered'
which would involve no "spe
cifics" that would be of dan
ger to the security of the
United States.

Million Cases Unknown
"There are about 1,000,000
unknown diabetics in the Unit
ed States today," Dr. Samuel
r uenning, medical director of
thf StllHunt Hoolth Panln.
said. ..Tnis testing j . t
way to discover these cases."
He explained that the symp-
toms of diabetes do not ap
pear until the disease is in its
late stages.
"If it is caught early, dia
betes can be controlled by di
et," he added. "In its late
stages, insulin must be used."
Diabetes might be briefly
defined as an oversupply of
sugar in the blood that the
body can't handle. Symptoms
of the disease include un
quenchable thirst, loss of
weight despite ravenous eat
ing, geneval itching, dimming
vision, pains in chest, arms
or legs and nagging fatigue.
Senility Quickened
Even mild diabetes is ac
cused of speeding up a silent
deterioration of vital tissues
and bringing on premature
old age.
Inheritance plays a signifi
cant part in the development
of diabetes. Two precautions
may forestall the disease for
a potential diabetic. First of
all, he should avoid excessive
amounts of sweets and foods
high in carbohydrate content.
Secondly, he must avoid over
weight. Student Health will be open
for diabetes checks from 8
a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday
through Friday of this week.
