At Syracuse, New York, fac ulty and administrative mem bers met to discuss the apathy bugaboo. "What's wrong with a per son who says 'I'm not inter ested in IFC?" queried one student.

Campus YWCA Celebrates Anniversary Group Renews Growth Of Seventy-Five Years By Sondra Whalen Seventy-five years ago, with 39 women students on campus, the University YWCA was founded. With a present membership of 175, the YWCA will celebrate its aniversary Sat urday at a dessert luncheon. A program, which includes a choral reading directed by Mrs. Opal Palmer of Lincoln, follows the luncheon. Joint Prayers When the organization was first founded they held joint prayer meetings with the YMCA every Wednesday evening. Then, as the groups got more members, they separated. An article from the "Hesperian Stu dent", bi-monthly paper, on Jan. 15, 1888, tells of an early experience. , "The YM and YWCA social on the eve ning of the fourth was well attended but abruptly closed. The program consisted of songs from 'Gospel Hymns', a few re marks by Miss Benedict, the president of the YW, on the object of the association, in which she invited new students par ticularly to unite with the association and a vocal solo by Miss Pennock. Janitor Shuts Off Gas "Then a few minutes were spent in greeting old acquaintances and meeting new ones, when the janitor stepped in and without a word of warning, turned off the gas. The victims of the trick would not re ceive it with very good grace. "If the students had to be driven out of Tuesday, March 3, 1959 The first Kingston Trio al bum sold out three times and was the most popular Capitol Records album in the San Francisco. Bay area. Their second album, "The Hungry i" was just recently released. Members of the Trio are Dave Guard, the leader, Bob Shane and Nick Reynolds.

The T r i o 's songs come from England, Tahiti, Mexico, Hawaii, Spain, Africa, the West Indies and America. Folksingers "We don't really consider in the accepted sense of the word, but it was our basic in terest in this kind of singing that brought us together, vVo put only one restriction on the type of songs we will do they must have a basic intelligent thought and be founded in good taste", Guard said. The Trio got their start In San Francisco at the "Hun gry i", and the "Purple On ion". They appeared soon aft er at Chicago's "Mr. Kel ley's". The Trio h slated for fea ture coverage in several na tional magazines and will soon appear on television.

Legislature Kills Bill For Sales Tax LB158 Would Have Diverted Funds For Support of State Schools By Marilyn Coffey A bill to place on the 1960 ballot a constitutional amend ment for adoption of a sales tax to help finance state schools was killed yester day in the Judiciary Commit tee. The measure, introduced by Sen. Terry Carpenter o f Scottsbluff, was killed by a 6 to 1 vote. In public hearing of LB158, several persons spoke both in favor and against the bill. Donald Kline, executive secretary of the Nebras ka State Education Associa tion, stated the proponants position. Demands on Nebraska's public schools are increasing, he said. There have been three rea sons for the rising cost of ed ucation, he contended the in crease in population, the in- trained personnel and infla tion. In Competition In addition, Nebraska is competing with other states for teachers. Local communities, Kline said, cannot provide our ed ucational needs unassisted. "An educational program suited to the needs and the demands of our economic, so cial, political military, scien tific and technological life is virtually impossible without state financial support of ed ucation," he said. Would Replace The amount raised by a sales tax revenue would be available to replace the tax on real property or offset the inevitable increase in the property taxes, he said. Clarence Swanson, presi dent of the Board of Regents, spoke to the committee "as a private citizen who has been interested in public ed ucation for years. "Most of our public educa tional enterprise is financed by the property tax," Swan- son said. LB 158 is obviously designed to help ease the pressure on this source o f revAc, X Come To Grips "As a longtime supporter of public education in this state I believe that we must come to grips with the problem of how we are to finance better education," he continued. Applications Due For Union Jobs Applications for Union chairmanships or assistant positions must be turned in by March 10 to the Personnel Committee. The applications are In the Union main office. A "Get Acquainted Party" will be held March 10 so all applicants may meet the pres ent chairmen, assistants and board members. The Dartv. from 7:30 to 8:30 in the Faculty Lounge, will include refreshments. the room at 8:30 we think the janitor might have left one jet burning until they could find their wraps and reach the door." Not concentrating so much on "vocal solos," the YWCA now devotes much of its time to weekly discussion groups and various community service projects. Spe cial events such as the Christmas Bazaar, May Morning Breakfast for seniors and mothers of YW girls and money raising events also are planned. Discussion Groups The discussion groups talk about social problems, campus affairs, marriage and family relations and religious ideas. One group, which meets weekly for lunch, is free to chose its own topic. This semester they are studying travel abroad and ex change programs. On its 50-year anniversary In 1934, the YWCA had 530 members. Its earliest ac tivities included sending missionaries to China and participating in relief work dur ing the first World War. The city and ag campus YW's are gov erened by two separate groups of execu tive officers. President of the city YW is Nancy Spilker, while Jane Savener is president of the ag organization. Other of ficers are a vice-president, secretary, treasurer and district representative. There are 484 student YWCA groups in ' the United States, with YW organizations also in 56 countries. The University YWCA is a charter member of the national organ ization. ,l Questioned by Sen. John Cooper of Humboldt, Swanson told the committee he was not speaking for the Board of Regents because not all of the members were in favor of the biU. "All but one were in favor of LB158," he explained. Speaking in favor of the bill were Ruben Johnson, pres ident of Nebraska School Board Association; Mrs. Amos Koester, Nebraska Congress of Parents and Teachers; rep resentatives from local PTA groups, from a construction company and from the board of realtors in Grand Island; Dr. Glen Hildreth, dean of Chadron State Teachers Col lege and Dallas Gibson, Ne braska Council of Churches. Dozen Opposed Nearly a dozen people spoke opposing the bill. -Some of their views were: Objection to amending the constitution to allow a state sales tax without remov al of the property tax and objection to dedication of all Dr. Olson Will Go to Rome To Write About Sioux Chief Rome is the June destina tion of Dr. James Olson, his tory professor. Dr. Olson intends to com bine writing a research book about Red Cloud, Ogalala Sioux chief, and visiting that city. New Perspective "I could write it here," he explained, "but this trip will give me new experiences and a new perspective. I think it's a good idea to get away to write." Dr. Olson's interest in Red Cloud dates back to when he was Director of the State Historical Society. "I became interested in some important collections of materials that hadn't been Art Exhibit Has Live Portraits Citizens Pose For NAA Show Living representations of art works were presented by the Nebraska Art Association Sunday.

"The Legislature should de termine how all moneys art spent," Campbell said. Over the Border 2) A sales tax drives people over the state border to buy and the additional accounting is a burden on the retailer, a representative of jewelers in Omaha, said. 3) Without exemptions th tax would increase the dis parity between farm and city income, Elton Berck, lobby ist for the Farmers Union. 4) "The principle of refer endum on taxation is not sound. I'm sure that if you put the property tax to a vote of the people, the answer would be negative," Charles Marshall, Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation. 5) The bill as drawn does not specify a tax limited to retail goods at the consumer level, H. C. Philley, Nebras ka State Grainage. utilized," he said. "These are the basis of my study." Transformation He cited Red Cloud as a "good vehical to show how the Indians of the northern plains transformed from a warrier people into a group which was segregated into reservations and dependent on the government." During his lifetime of 1822 to 1909, Red Cloud was a leader in both the warrier and reservation period. He was one of the few Indians that the government dealt with, Dr. Olson continued. Red Cloud's tribe roamed throughout northwest Nebras ka, South Dakota, eastern Montana and eastern Wyo ming. The warrier period ended with the treaty of Fort Lariame in 1868, but for a time Red Cloud refused to se lect a reservation. "It was quite a problem at first," Dr. Olson said, "but game was running short, buf falo were disappearing and finally the Indians realized they were licked." Dr. Olson and his family will return from Europe next year. Fellowship Offered By AAUW A $500 fellowship is open to a woman graduate student at the University for 1959-60.
