Scheduling
Discussed
University Theatre produc
tion scheduling was the topic
of enthusiastic Student Coun
cil discussion Wednesday.
Kitzi Lee, council secretary,
brought the conflicting sched
ules tit the University Theatre
to the attention of the Coun
cil. She said the first Howell

IV," occured during the
Homocoming Weekend.
"Misalliance," the second
production,, will take place
during the week of the Mili
tary Ball and another produc
tion is scheduled to occur dur
ing the week of Coed Follies.
Ken Tempero said that per
haps the reason for the con
flict with Homecoming was
to get patronage of peopla
in town at that time for
Teacher's Convention.
John Hoerner asked about
Rowell Theatre's relationship
to the rest of the University
community. He also question
ed the University's action in
not avoiding such conflicts as
they do when conflicts among
other departments arise.
Chuck Wilson recommended
that Student Affairs be con
tacted in conjunction with
these conflicts.

the Council a short summary
of the board's roles. Fournier
said the parking board studies
and reports on various park
ing, problems and also hears
appeals from members of the
University on parking viola
tions.
One such appeal was a sub
ject of humor for the Coun
cil. The parking board re
ceived an appeal from a
graduate student on a park
ing ticket. The student
claimed he was "red-green
color blind" and therefore
should not have to pay the
fine. It was stated that he
presented a very well pre
pared case and had three of
the five-man board convinced
of his innocence.
The appeal was then sent
to J. P. Colbert, Dean of
Student Affairs, for the final
decision. Dean Colbert denied
the appeal on the grounds
that the students should not
have parked on the line at

' Extra Point Club
Glory Goalposts Go
In Pieces for
.. The goalposts which fell at Saturday's history making
Nebraska-Oklahoma football game may soon take on a new
form paperweights.
According to Lou Roper, president of the Extra Point
Club, the club has made arrangements with Alpha Tau
Omega fraternity to use the set of goal posts which mem
bers of the fraternity salvaged Saturday.
Negotiations for the second set of goal posts held by
the Brown Palace student house also are being made. How
ever, a resident said Thursday no final arrangement has
been agreed upon.
The EPC has promised the trophy-winners that they
may keep a large piece of the posts. They would like
to use the rest of the goals for a fund-raising promotion.
The plan is to cut the posts into rings to be filled and
sold as paperweights. The date and score of the Oklahoma
upset will be stamped on them.
Roper said the price of the paperweights is exptected
to be "a few dollars." The posts will probably be worth
more this way than their replacements. The price of the
new goal posts is expected to be $75 to $100.
Funds from the sale will go tj support Nebraska's ath
letic program.

Hardin
By Jacque Janecek
NU's Chancellor Clifford
M. Hardin turned "traveler"
last week.
Off to the East Coast to
attend two professional meet
ings, he returned to take in
the big Cornhusker-Oklahoma
thriller and then went out
state to represent the Uni
versity at two banquets.
In Washington, D. C, Chan
cellor Hardin attended the
semi-annual meeting of the
American Council on Educa
tion's Commission on Educa
tion and International Affairs
and then traveled to New
York City to take part in
the annual meeting of the
Association of American Uni
versities. '
The Nebraska educator and
11 other members of the com
mittee in Washington were
concerned over alleged fraud'
being conducted by many
American "mail order"
schools.
Lower Esteem
The Chancellor said many
of these schools are merely
post office boxes and peddle
sub-standard degrees. In ad
dition to lowering the esteem
of existing universities, these
fraudulent schools hurt U.S.
public relations abroad, the
Chancellor noted.

To Interview
26 Students
The office of Student Af
fairs is now conducting inter
views with the 26 students
who celebrated NU's victory
over Oklahoma at a beer
party. ,
J. P. Colbert, dean of Stu
dent Affairs, said Thursday
that all the students had been
notified, but that no discipli
nary action would be taken
"until a thorough investiga
tion has been made."
Chief Deputy Lancaster
County Attorney Paul Doug
las said earlier no charges
would-be filed since the state
statute on minors in. posses
sion of alcohol provides the
offense must take place on
public property.
According to Colbert, Uni
verstiy rules prohibit posses
sion of alcohol by minors even
on private property.
The 26 students, 20 of whom
were minors, were appre
hended by three sheriffs de
puties in a cornfield near
Emerald Monday afternoon.
Classes had been called off
to celebrate Nebraska's 25-21
win over Oklahoma. .
The farmer who owned the
cornfield told deputies he
gave the students permission
to hold the party on his land.

Chancellor Has Heavy Schedule
He said the committee did
not take any formal action,
but suggested types of legis
lation to prevent the schools
from operating.
Hardin said Thursday, "I
know of no local instances of
the fraudulent mail-order
schools.
"I've told faculty members
if they know of any, they
should contact me," he
added.
Financing Discussed
The committee also dis
cussed ways and means of
universities in the Near East
Robert in Instanbul, Amer
ican in Behrut, and American

punitive action for their much
publicized "sandwich inci

The violated section of the
new code, Article 4 section 3
states:
kan before the meeting, "I'm
pretty proud of what the IFC
is domg here tonignt ana
there is no reason that the
meeting shouldn't be opened
to the public."
AGR president, Bob ame,
in defending the closed meet
ing asked, "Are we going to
yield to the press, and public
opinion?"
"We might step on some
other houses' toes here t o
night," he added.
All They Want
Alpha Tau Omega president
Chuck Huston defended a
closed meeting. "All the pub
lic wants is to hear what the
final decision is on this ques
tion," he said.

vote, the closed meeting was
upheld with four houses

meeting and two houses, Phi

Mu, declining to vote.
All other houses voted to
close the meeting.
Section Must Go
IFC president George Por
ter told the IFC before offi
cially closing the meeting
that one section of the pledge
training code under which
the IFC could penalize viola
tions by suspending pledging
privileges would have to be
changed.
"Suspension of pledging is
a board of control peroga
tive," he said. "We can only
recommend such action."
Porter indicated that unless
an attempt was made to use
the suspension penalty that
night the amendment would
be postponed until the next
meeting.

AGR'B
Affair
"The IFC will not tolerate I
potentially dangerous or mor- ,
allv degrading nled&e train
ing commonly known as naz-
ing."
Complete Reports
IFC president George Por
ter stated after the meeting
that complete reports of the
incident had been turned in
by AGR to the Division of
Student Affairs, and the IFC
special investigating commit
tee. ' v . '
Porter explained that tie
committee had reviewed
these reports extensively sad
talked with several members
of AGR in its search for the
"true facts" in the case.
In view of the committee's
findings. Porter went on, it
found the AGR's to be in
violation of Article 4 of , the
pledge training code.
Suggestion Used
The punishments ' handed
down by the IFC -were the
ones recommended by the
IFC's fact finding committee.
Porter said.
The meeting, which was
held solely for the purpose of
settling the AGR case, lasted
about two hours. ,
Associate Dean of Student
Affairs Frank M. Hallgren
and Prof. Arthur B. Ward,
culture, attended the meeting
as observers. Both declined
to comment on the IFC's ac
tion, giving as a reason that
they are members of a com
mittee which might be called
upon to review the action in
the future.
Comment Refused
Porter refused comment on
what the fact finding commit
tee actually uncovered as the
true facts in the case.
The incident as reported
earlier by the Daily Nebraskan
from interviews with AGR
members involved a pledge
who was fed a sandwich con
taining bread soaked in vine
gar, a raw egg and breakfast
food.
All the pledges were given
the same thing to eat and the
pledge in question had his
about half finished when he
began to choke, regurgitated,
and started to bleed from
the nose.
The pledge reported to the
Nebraskan that he had "n
conception", of how long he
was "out" but that he felt
all right when he walked to
his unconscious state ds a
sort of "dizzy haze."
Army Cadets
Respect
Honor Tests
rami la Mtie
By Jacque Janecek
University Army cadets
seem to agree they respect
their honors system because
"our instructors respect us."
"We are expected to take
unproctored tests without
cheating and that trust ap
pears to prevent it," added
Terry Higgins, senior in Busi
ness Administration, when
commenting on an earlier
Daily Nebraskan story de
scribing the Army honors sys
tem in effect here.
Less Apt
Another cadet, Dave Cal
houn, a junior in Arts and
Sciences, went en, "If you're
trusted, you're less apt to
cheat."
Some cadets think the hoo
ors system "carries over" to
other classes. Others don't.
Jim Elder, freshman in
Arts and Sciences, thinks it
does, but isn't sure the hon
ors system would work for the
University as a whole.
Spoiling Effect
"I'm afraid there would al
ways be a few who would
think they had to cheat , on
tests and would spoil the ef
fect of the whole system.
"I respect the system my
self because I think if I don't
know the answers I don't de
serve the credit for them. If
I have the right answer, I
want to be proud of it," he
added.
Lynn Schottler, senior in
Business Administration, said
the Army honors system" has
stopped "a lot of cheating
that went on before in Army
classes.".
"It's no secret that some
people even exchanged tests
before we adopted this plan
two years ago," he added.
Schottler agreed with, other
cadets that the instructors'
attitude in an honors system
is "what makes it tick."
