Legislature Drops Resolution
To Study Law College Hiring
A resolution asking for an
investigation of hiring prac

College has been withdrawn
from the Legislature.
Sen. Jack Romans, who in

unanimous consent of the Leg

objected.
Motion Carried
A motion td drop the reso

The resolution was slated
for debate on May 11.
Romans said he was ask
ing that the resolution be
dropped because the Board

Clifford Hardin advised him
the Board would conduct an
investigation of law college

Adam Breckenridge, dean
of faculties, said that to his
knowledge the letter was the

he had been mistaken. He
also said that the group is
composed of "loyal Americans."

"The University's firm posi
tion is great reassurance that
the highest standards of aca
d e m I c freedom are to be
maintained," Merton Bern
stein told the Daily Nebras
kan. "As an individual I w a s
only part of the issue, but it
was difficult not to feel like
William Tell's son.
"The reaction of Nebras
kans was most heartening.
Particularly gratifying were
the stands taken by the Lin
coln Star and Journal, by the
Dally Nebraskan, and stu
dents, especially in the Col
lege of Law. Their actions
and statements demonstrate
that students today have all
the fibre of earlier generations.
"My wife and I are grate

learned we have. We want
I publicly to say "thank you."."

'Ah Wilderness

Wenstrand is assistant at

Lightning Strikes
:Sig Alph House
The only damage to proper
ty on the campus during the
storm Sunday was reported
by the Sigma Alpha Epsilon
fraternity house.
Lightning struck their chim
ney and tore the top half off.
Several members commented
tnat it sounded like a bomb
had been thrown into the
house. The amount of damage
was not immediately determined.
By Doug McCartney '
Banker, accountant, ad
visor, recorder and consult
ant. These are just a few
of the duties of Lucille
Miles of the Student Activi
ties Office.
Ivy Day, Mrs. Miles re
ceived an unprecedented
award "from the students
and campus organizations,"
which read "A Certificate
of Appreciation for your
unselfish use of time, work
and effort in working with
the student organizations
of the University of Ne
braska." The award was presented
to Mrs. Miles by Jerry
Sellentin, business manager
of the Daily Nebraskan.
"One-of-a-Kind"
This was a "one-of-a-kind'.'
award, never before
given.
Mrs. Miles is the smiling
woman in the administra
tion office labeled "Student
Loans and Student Activi
ties." Along with the Certifi
cate of Appreciation, she
was awarded an $80 gift
certificate.
"I don't know who was
responsible for it," she said,
"but I thank everybody and
all the organizations. It's
really the nicest thing that
ever happened to me!"
In her work with over
150 student accounts from
most of the campus clubs
and activities who use the
office like a bank, she
handles over $350,000 a year.
She has processed over
27,000 checks in six years
of working for the Univer
sity. But this is only part of
her service to the clubs.
Kessler Takes
Part of Mildred
"Since we have all the
money, we have to pay all
the bills," she laughed.
And pay them she does,
sometimes writing over $30,-
000 a month in checks.
The office also keeps a
permanent record of all
transactions.
Advisor and Helper
She also acts as advisor
and helper to new treasur
ers. "The work Is so varied,
1 really get to know who's
doing what on campus."
Mrs. Miles is very famil
iar with the financial prob
lems of the organizations,
because she handles their
budgets. The proposed bud
gets must be submitted for
the office's approval, then
the actual budget checked
at the end of the year.
Student Loans
The office also handles
student loans and she often
talks over money problems
with the students.
"Sometimes it helps them
a lot just to talk their prob
lems over."
In her contacts with so
many students she said she
couldn't understand why so
many people "ran down"
the present generation. "I
think it should be the other
way around." Then glanc
ing around the office, she
added, "I enjoy working
with them very much."
Next the ballots are sorted
by college.
A third machine, an elec
tronic calculator adds the total
number of votes on sach bal
lot to be sure that the ballots
are filled out correctly.
This machine rejects all bal
lots which voted for the wrong
number of students.
The fourth machine, a sta
tistical sorter tabulate the
number of votes given each
candidate and prints the re
sults. Total time elapsed, Vk
hours.
Eleanor Kessler, production
i manager of "Ah Wilderness,"
the University Theatre pro
duction which starts tomorrow
night took over the role of Mil
dred, Nat Miller's daughter
when Sally Purviance, who
originally had the part had to
drop it because of illness.
Eleanor had parts in The
Merchant of Venice, Elijah,
and The Match maker this
year. Last year she was
named an Outstanding Fresh
man by Nebraska Masquers.
She is a masquer's worker
and a member of Delta Gamma.
