"Technicality" Change Miss Helen Snyder, assis tant dean of student affairs, said that the change involved only a difference of an hour Memorial Fund To Aid Students Honors NU Grad A memorial student loan fund of $1,050 has been estab lished with the University Foundation. Founded in honor of the late Dorsey Barnes of Holdrege, the fund was made possible through contributions from friends and set up by his wife, Mrs. Betty Barnes. Although the loan is avail able to all University stu dents, particular preference will be given to those major ing in the field of soil and water conservation. A 1925 graduate of the Uni versity, Barnes served 25 years with the Soil Conserva tion Service and was area conservationist at Holdrege for 15 years. He was a mem ber of the University's live stock judging team that won the international champion ship in 1924 and received the highest individual student rating in the competition.

Producer-director Ron Hull savs that iie is willing to have any curious soul come down to the studios to participate in the production of the live shows. Men Outnumber Women This opportunity might be of special interests to girls, considering that there are for freshman women, who must be in by 9 p.m. Dean Snyder referred to the change as a "technicality" re sulting largely from the dif ficulties in bookkeeping. Students who receive downs will continue to fill out a time schedule, planning study time each day. This schedule will be approved by the scholar ship chairman in each living unit. Privilege Probation Explanation of a privilege probation is another new rule included in the new handbook. The probation may be In ef fect for one week, two weeks, or more depending on ihe in dividual case.

She called tbe Germans "Americanized", but found the Italians quite difficult to understand. Miss Quinn had no bad inv presions during the tour with the exception of the "too friendly people of Italy." She urged everyone who had the opportunity to take a similar trip. , English Not So Reserved Sandy Whitmore also found Germany Switzerland and England impressive. Italy, however, was found toe hot, dirty and occupied by many forward people. about eight men to every woman on the staff. It is also advantageous to girls planning careers in home economics, Hull pointed out. "Home Ec, journalism and TV would be excellent back ground for an interesting po sition that would vary with each day," he added. Usually about 40 students, both graduates and under graduates work in the studio. Of these usually five or six are girls. This year, so far, only one girl is working in the studio. But Hull explains that he uses girls in any and ail positions which are needed to produce a show. Those needed include three camra men, one or two boom mike oprators, floor manager, an nouncers, switchers, and audio men. English B Televised . lira duates from the Univer sity are working all over the country in leading l v sauons, Hull reports. A new service that many English B students are expe riencing this year is the 25 minutes of TV teaching beamed ta five classrooms in Burnett Hall and one on Ag campus. Dr. Dudley Baiiey, associate professor of English cents 25 minutes of lecture while the remainder of each plat neriod is conducted by regular members of the Eng lish department.

Sights "The Enclish were not so reserved as most people are led to think," she comment ed. She was most amused In Venice when the gondolier had to stop singing and yell at the oeoDle who were bom barding him with garbage from the windows of their houses. She, too, called her hiehlleht of the tour the trip into the Swiss Alps. She found speaking to Me inhabitants of the various countries not exceptionally difficult after she had mas tered the words for "no com prehend," "how much" and "ice." It seems they serve all drinks in Europe without ice. Some of the special events enioved by the people of the tour were the opera "Tosca", the West Side Story m Lon don and visits to the Colosse um 'and other ancient build ings in Rome and Pompey. Students Approve System Registration Passes Test Comments from several students indicate that the new registration system proved satisfactory in its first semester trial. Twila Pearson, sophomore in teachers college from Spencer, said, "The whole system seemed to work out well. I had to change a sec tion myself, but in compari son to the old plan, I liked this lots better." Registration Simple Kay Dewey, senior in Teachers College from Lin coln, said this was the easiest and simplest registration she's experienced. Janice Dill, a sophomore in home economics, thinks there could have been more thor ough checking to see sections didn't conflict, since she had to change one, but added, "I liked the speed and didn't miss standing in lines a bit." An engineering senior, Bob Holmes of Oakland, said, "I got all the sections I wanted and at the times I wanted them. I liked the plan." Old System "Mad House" "I think the old system of pulling our own cards was a madhouse compared to the new one," commented Ruth Prange, sophomore in Teachers from Lincoln. Several students complained they had trouble switching sections after their cards had been pulled by the registrar's staff during the summer. Council Members Comment Bill Zeplin, senior from Pender, noted some difficul- Point Club Drive Begins The Extra Point Club Drive has started again on the Uni versity campus.

He said he was also able to com plete registration for a friend in less than a half hour with no inconvenience. Marilyn Mead, senior, also noted some difficulty on the department level, but she too agreed she liked the new plan. Several Student Council members also commented on general feelings of their con stituents. Favorable Comments Kenneth Tempero, Arts and Sciences, said, "I've heard from a disappointing num ber of students who were un happy with class conflicts, but I've also hear quite a few favorable comments." Dick Newman, speaking for upper classmen la Business Administration, said very few of them complained, in fact that most were "very happy" with the system. "But many freshmen have moaned about their sched ules," he added. He said he had reports from some who were unhappy with late after noon classes while their mornings were free. College of Engineering stu dents seem to be quite pleased with the advance pulling, according to Don Ga ble. "Judging from comments I've heard, it certainly de serves another try," Gable added.
