City YW Inaugurates
New Election System
The city campus YWCA is
inaugurating a new election
procedure this year based on
the election of officers during
the first semester.
The election of city YWCA
executives will be Dec. 1. The
new officers, however, do not
take office until second se
mester but serve as a base
'World Night9
Will Portray
US Customs
A World Fellowship Night
will be held Tuesday by the
YWCA in conjunction with
the annual National World
Fellowship Week.
The party will be held at
7:30 p.m. in the party room
of the Student Union. It is for
all women foreign students
and wives of foreign students.
The program will consist of
skits and panels portraying
several American customs
which foreign students of en
do not understand. Four prin
ciple areas will be included.
They will explain food, shop
ping, dress and social cus
toms. '
The idea for the program
originated with Mrs. Olga
Steele, foreign student advis
er. She reported she had re
ceived numerous inquiries
from foreign students con
cerning American customs
and said she felt the World
Fellowship Party would aid in
answering many of their
quesunns.i 1
Joyce Weir, international
ftudesi coordinator, is over
all chairman of the event.
Freshmen members of the
YW are in charge of present
ing the program.
Chairmen of the freshmen
committees are Linda
Picard, food customs; Sara
Aid en, shopping customs;
Barb Baker, dress habits;
and Toni Tucker, social customs.
Any group of four with a
car, regardless of affiliation,
may go out to solicit assigned
areas In Lincoln during these
hours by signing up in the
AUF office. ,
"Giving through AUF, not
to AUF" is the slogan of this,
the Only official solicitation
organization, on campus. Its
funds this year will be di
rected to five charities se
.
Four Nominees Named
For Activity Queen
Four finalists out of 14 con
tenders were chosen last week
to compete for the 1959 Ac
tivities Queen crown. '
The finalists, all sopho
mores, are Sharon DeMars,
Lynn Wright, Gladys Rolfs
meyer and Sharon Rogers.
The interviewing board con
sisted of five persons prom
inent in various acitvities on
campus. In prior years, the
preliminary interviews were
heard by the AUF executive
board.
The finalists were chosen
with regard to their scholar
ship, activities and service to
the University. The interview
ing board ' particularly
stressed the candidates' true
interest in activity work.
The final interview will be
held Thursday, and will be
similar to the preliminary
interview. . The questioning
panel will consist of two fac
ulty members and three stu
dent representatives.

WUS has been described as
"a means of helping needy
students help themselves." It
unites the university com
munity in a common effort
against poverty, hunger, sick
ness and despair at colleges
throughout the world.
AUF also will contribute-to
four other charities, These in

executive committee until
that time.
More Time
Nancy Spilker, president of
the city YW, said the value of
the system lies in the fact
that the new officers will
have mote time to evaluate
and plan new ideas and pro
jects before they take office.
She said YWCA programs
cover a wide and varied field;
therefore, a continual need
for new plans exists.
The base executive com
mittee idea was presented to
YW officials by Mrs. Theo
dora Ninesteel, YWCA reg
ional secretary, at a recent
conference.. A similar program
is now in successful operation
at Washington University.

rectly to Nebraska institutions
for research and clinical in
struction. Approximately one thousand
scientists are working in 152
hospitals, universities and
laboratories supported by the
American Cancer Society.
Some three thousand younger
men and women are serving
as technicians or being
trained for larger responsi
bilities in the cancer field.
The charities were chosen
on the basis of a student poll
taken earlier this fall. AUF
is the only charitable organi
zation allowed to raise funds
on the University campus.
Grant Giv$n
Research
Facilities
A $58,059 Public Health
Service grant was announced
Friday as matching funds for
the remodling and improve
ment of research facilities on
the Univesity Agriculture
campus.
The funds are ear-marked
for work on four buildings
used by the department of an
imal pathology and hygiene.
Dr. George A. Young,
chairman of the department,
said the new facilities will
greatly assist the depart
ment's research which deals
primarily with the control of
livestock diseases.
"It is in the area of ex
change of disease between
animals and man that the
department is particulary in
terested. Inadequate space
has proved a bottleneck in
this type of research," he
said. . '
The new funds will provide
four sterile rooms for work
with viruses and normal and
infected tissue cultures, and
10 animal rooms will be re
modeled into isolation rooms.
Also three labs will be cre
ated from space currently not
in use.
Dr. Young said, "the four
buildings were originally
erected in i915 and has since
changed. At the time of the
original construction the pri
mary object was the study of
bacterial disease, but today
they are improperly designed
for isolation of animals in
fected with respiratory viral
infections."

Cannon
Was To
The attempt to establish a
traditional "goal-counter" for
football scoring at home
games hag been thwarted
while still in the develop-
mental
stage.
The Army
ROTC de
partment has
canceled its
for a
can no n
which was
to have been
presented to &
the Inn o- Col. Rawte '
cents Society at the Colorado
Nebraska football game Sat
urday. The gun was to be fired
on the cheerleaders' final
count of each touchdown.
Col. V. R. Rawie, professor
of military science and tac
tics and head of the Army
ROTC department, explained
the goal-counter idea had been
originated several months
ago. He said those with whom
he discussed the plan agreed
that the development of a
traditional after-scoring de
vice showed merit.
The idea gained initial ap
proval and Col. Rawle sent
the requisition for the big
gun. Army ROTC was to have
charge of firing the gun at
i;he game.

Health Center Catches
Student Ailments Early
...Folloiv-up Is Secret
Approximately one case of
mild tuberculosis is discov
ered each year among Uni
versity students.
The early discovery of such
diseases or ills among college
students may be credited to
the careful follow-up program
employed by Student Health.
The program calls for a close
check of the health forms of
new students entering the
University in the fall.
X-Ray Required
According to Miss Celeste
Knipmeyer, public health
nurse, all new students are
required to have a chest X
ray. This aids Student Health
officials, in discovering any
signs which may indicate a
chronic "disorder or ill-health.
An enlarged heart and signs
of TB are the two items most
closely checked. MisS Knip
meyer explained an enlarged
heart is often the result of
rheumatic fever and may
lead to later heart disease.
In 195fi the Health Center
began a cooperative survey
in conjunction witn me ruDiic
Health Service in an attempt
to determine if rheumatic

Order Cancelled;
-
Mark Scores
However, last week Col.
Rawie received a letter from
the administration stating six
conditions that the Army de
partment had to comply with
if the cannon were presented
to the University.
He said the conditions of
the Jetter implied apprehen
sive feelings on the part of
the administration. Feeling
that a gift should not be pre
sented with apprehensive feel
ings toward it, Col. Rawie
said he felt it best to cancel
the order for the cannon.
Blast Danger Feared
The Army ROTC head said
the biggest objection seemed
to be the reaction of the
crowd to the startling blast
and the chance of physical
danger.
However, Col. Rawie re
ported that he had previously
discussed these problems with
administrative officials and
had explained how they could
be avoided.
Adam Breckenridge, dean
of faculties, said the letter
was not meant to convey ap
prehension but was merely
the final approval for the
project. He explained it stated
the conditions which already
had been agreed upon and
asked the Army ROTC to as
sume the responsibility for
firing and caring for the wea:
pon.
Dean Breckenridge said a
fever was diminishing in im
portance and to what extent
prophylatic treatment was be
ing used.
Prevent Susceptibility
Prophylatic treatment re
fers to use of sulfa drugs
or penicillin pills by patients
who, at one time, had rhue
matic fever. This medication
helps prevent the susceptibil
ity to strept throat which for
mer rhuematic fever , pa
tients have.
In addition to the X-rays,
the health report of the stu
dent also is checked. If any
thing on the report Is ques
tionable, the student is con
tacted by mail and asked to
report to the Health Center.
Miss Knipmeyer said this
brings response from 50 per
cent of the students contact
ed. The remainder usually re
spond after a telephone con
tact she reported.
. Specialist Staff
If necessary the student is
referred to one of the Health
Center's specialists. The
specialists are Lincoln doc
tors who devote a portion of
their time to student health.
The specialist staff includes
eye, internal medicine and
ear, nose and throat doctors.
Miss Knipmeyer said the
specific i value of the folio.
up program was to discover
ills early enough to aid the
stucrent , or - to take i
toward preventing more seri
ous developments. ' She said
something seemingly unim
portant to the student m"v

detecting health defects.
NEBRASKA

cannon had been fired at one
of the games last season uid
had brought some objections
from some fans. Therefore,
he said, he thought it was
necessary to stress safety and
supervised firing of the gun.
Col. Rawie said the idea
of a "score-marking" device
would not be abandoned. He
said he felt a more satisfac
tory and acceptable device
can be agreed upon by the
Army ROTC department and
the administration.
