state," said George Porter,
IFC president.
The Majority
"We realize that the major
ity of the fraternities now
conduct such programs and
we feel this will aid others in
the adjustment of their pro
grams," Porter added.
He emphasized that addi
tional legislation would be
passed in the next few weeks
to give the IFC a complete
guide for pledge training.
The text of the new training
creed follows:
"We the member fraterni
ties of the Interfraternity
Council of the University of
Nebraska recognize our re
sponsibility as leaders of the
fraternity world to set forth
a new Active Training Creed.
"We recognize the need for
a program that trains pledges
to carry out effectively their
responsibilities when they be
come actives, one that is con
sistent with modern thinking.
"This program must recog
nize the difference between
today's highly independent
youth and those of thirty
years ago while retaining the
ideals of gracious living, char
acter development; and scho
lastic achievement.
"We therefore recognize
that mental and physical de
gradation, personal servi
tude, and such programs that
hazard the health, well-being,
and scholarship of an Individ
ual are inconsistent with the
aforementioned ideals.
' "We hereby establish as be
ing in accord with our concept
of modern Active Training the
following criteria:
I. SCHOLARSHIP

. The IFC also passed a reso
lution in regard to individual
fraternity rush books. Using
the wording of an IFC rule
proposed some-years back the
Council ruled:
"This book (The IFC rush
book which is published jointly
by all fraternities) shall be
the only book printed or used
by the fraternities for rushing
purposes."
The ruling passed unani
mously. Excluded
IFC president Porter ex
cluded national rush booklets
"stressing the national fra
ternity and the fraternity
system" as exempt from the
ruling.
He indicated that the execu
tive council would later issue
their detailed interpretation of
the term "rush book" as used
in the ruling.
The Interfraternity Council
Wednesday passed the first
portion of a new pledge train
ing creed. -
The new legislation gives
Ideals of the 1FC fraternities
and states methods for achiev
ing them.
"The IFC feels it will bene

students agi- they'll run
find out what
they arrived the first day of
New Student Week.
Mrs. Wendorff says the pay
schedule is made according
to the average costs for room
and board for a school term.
Students who work six
hours a week can earn $150
daring the year; those who
want to earn the equivalent
of half their board and room
work 12 hours per week for
$300 per year. Those working
IS hours get about $450 and
those working 24 hours per
week get approximately $600.
These salaries apply when
students work their full time
each week, Mrs. Wendorff
pointed out.
Campus employers in the
new program are Love Me
morial Library, the Student
Union, Women's Residence
Halls, Selleck Quad, Ag La- i
brary and Ag College Cafe-
teria. j
Although in most cases the i
employers had never met the
students before their first day
on the job, they're just as
pleased with their help as if
they'd interviewed them.
Employer's Satisfied
"It's amazing how weii
they seem to fit their jobs."
Mrs. Wendorff said she heard
an employer say.
Freshmen who had pre-reg-istered
agreed to adjust their
class loads and arrange work
schedules around classes.
Mrs. Wendorff said this was
made easy by Junior Division
personnel who assisted the
freshmen and rearranged the
schedules "as far as possi
ble." The chairman of the pro
gram pointed out that pref
erence is given to stutlents
in the upper one-third of their
classes.
Several jobs are still avail
able for students who want
to contact her in her office
in Room 207 in the Adminis
tration Building. High School
seniors throughout the state
will receive information and
begin -applying for next year's
jobs in November.
The chairman of this new
"agency" hopes her office will
be able to offer downtown
jobs to incoming freshmen in
I the future.

Beef Look
For Mamas
Shades of the Old West
prevailed around Ag Col

when a group of calves took
a somewhat disorganized 5
a.m. stroll.
About 60 calves broke out
of the corrals near the beef
barn on Ag campus and be
gan a diligent search for
their mothers. One calf
wandered as far as 32nd
and J Streets, while others
took a shorter tour of the
Capital City.
Police, Ag and city cam
pus officials and residents
at the beef barn all got
lariats and proceed to
stalk the escapees and fin
ally completed the roundup.
The recently -weaned
calves were on a useless
trek anyway since their
mothers are being kept near
