COLOR TALK The Alpha Omicron Pi's got tired of try
ing to figure out where was line one, which was line three
and who was talking to whom on which. The problem was
especially complicated by Lincoln girls and new pledges
on phone duty who hadn't yet mastered the system. The
answer Yvonne Young finds is in new phones of green,
ivory, and pink. The new phrase coined around AOPi re
cently is "You have a phone on pink!"
Military Ball Performers
Naval Aviation Chorus
Has Constant Turnover
Sharing the spotlight at the
1959 Military Ball with Les

ately dropped from the group,
according to Lt. John Rush,
choir director.
The group has an almost
constant turnover in member
ship. As a group completes
basic flight training and
leaves the Pensacola, Fla.,
area, the vacancies must be
filled by newcomers to the
program, representing col
leges and universities
throughout the country.
Half To Leave
Nearly 25 of the 43 cadets

take care of the physical de
tail such as housing, meals
and programming.

done by a "steering commit
tee" which meets in the
spring prior to the conference.
At this time the general pro
gram is planned and various
colleges and universities are
assigned particular topics.
The steering committee is
headed by the regional con
ference president. This year's
president is Jim England of
Kansas State College.

Young GOP
Plan Clinic
Three University students
will head the planning of the
Young Republican - sponsored
Public Relations Clinic to be
held in Lincoln Dec. 4-5.
They are Tom Gilliland,
chairman of the clinic; Jan
Rhoda, in charge of hospital
ity and arrangements; and
Don Hall, vice-chairman for
program and publicity.
The clinic is being planned
by the University Young GOP
in cooperation with the State
Central Committee and the
Nebraska Young Republican
Federation.
He refused to say what the
"features" were.
Yale's President A. Whit
ney Griswold said last week
the affidavit "is contrary to
the classic principles of our
colleges and universities."
Harvard president Nathan
M. Pusey called the oath
"misguided," and an "affi
davit of disbelief."
No Open Objection
So far, Nebraska students
have not openly objected to
the oath, according to Claire
Harper, director of University
services and treasurer of the
student loan fund.
An applicant must sign the
affadavit stating he does not
believe in, belong to or sup
port "any organization that
believes in ' or teaches the

Meet Each Week
Foreign, Native Girls
To Work Together
Twelve American and for
eign girls will begin working
together next week to under
stand what America can be
and not just what is "typical."
They will meet each Friday
for a class and during the
weeks spend time studying,
visiting at the residences and
sharing other experiences.
"We have selected with care
through interviews and refer
ences those that we feel are
among the top American and
top foreign girls on campus,"
said Dr. William E. Hall, pro-'
fessor of educational psycho
logy. I
He continued that often stu
dents come here with a dis
like for America and that by
the time they leave they think
even less of the country and
the people here.
Common Bond
By selecting a common
bond and goal to work for,
he said he hoped that Ameri
can students can show the
other girls how fine Ameri
cans can be, rather than only
what is typical, which often
gives outsiders the wrong
idea.
The six Americans se
lected are LaNette Wiese,
Karen Long, Sharon Mon
crief, Patsy Schmidt, Gail
Gray and Sally Lancaster.
Two foreign students are still
to be selected, but the four
named by Dr. Hall are Prab
hat Sookapam, Thailand; Be
atrice Franklin, India;
Sanamma Thomas, India, and
Hildegart Ibarra, Panama.
The idea began last spring
when Dr. Hall and Mrs. Her
bert Walt, associated with the
Lancaster County Red Cross,
selected 12 to try it on a trial
basis.
The enthusiasm and suc
cess of t he group was so
great that another program
was started this year.
Completed Project
American students who
completed the past project
were Gretchen Saeger, Sylvia
Bathe, Kathy Roach, Marilyn
Pickett, Dorothy Hall and
Elizabeth Smith.

Harper said that since the
loans were made available
in March, a total of $78,739
had been loaned to 208 stu
dents for one or more per
iods. He explained that, many
students had repeated loans
for summer- school and the
current semester.
In March, 45 students bor
rowed $11,739, a total of 46
borrowed $13,242 for summer
school, and 154 are using $53,
460 this semester. Only 19
current borrowers are re
peaters, according to Harper.
Expect Increase
"We expect the number of
borrowers in the plan to in
crease as more learn about
it and enrollments increase,"
he added.
Harper also called the plan
"too liberal," and said cleri-

nett, Mavis English, Tamar

First Aid through the
American Red Cross was
selected for the class because
that organization is familiar
to people from all countries.
At t he completion of the
course certificates were
awarded. Mrs. Walt said that
this is something that foreign
students "treasure and work
hard to achieve."
This fall the students used
their course by working in
the first aid tent during foot
ball games.
Dr. Hall told the girls that
the project should not be re
garded as an activity but as
a challenge' and a serious
commitment.
Ag Judgers
To Compete
In Chicago
The University Livestock
Judging Team left for the Na
tional Intercollegiate Cham
pionships in Chicago Monday
after placing third in the
Midwest Judging Clinic at
Kansas State Saturday.
Nebraska came in behind
Iowa State and Oklahoma
State in the competition last
weekend. Iowa State scored a
winning total of 4,610 points,
while the University amassed
4,549 points.
Ernest Thayer was the top
Nebraska point gatherer with
a total of 923 and placed
fourth in the entire contest.
The team will stop at Len
nox, IJanning and Ames,
Iowa, enroute to Chicago, and
at Barrington, Mukwonago,
Libertyville and Richmond in
Illinois. They will be in Chi
cago from Friday through
Tuesday morning and return
to Lincoln Tuesday afternoon.
Making the trip are Gerald
Goold, Ted Klug, George
O'Neal, D o n n Simonson,
Thayer and Patrick Wright,
and Prof. R. B. Warren, who
coaches the team.
For Tips
Hardin
cal work required to keep tab
on long-term borrowers might
cost universities a great deal
of money.
Checking Required
"As soon as a student drops
below 12 hours, he is no longer
eligible for the loan and his
note becomes due one year
after that date," Harper con
tinued. "This takes a lot of check
ing. Students may drop
courses after receiving th
loan," he added.
On Oct. 31, more than $155,
000 in loans were outstand
ing from the University's
permanent loan fund. A total
of 673 borrowers owed the
money, Harper said.

12-Minute
Meters Go
There'll be no 12-mimite
parking on campus after
Thanksgiving vacation.
According to Capt. Eugene
Masters, head of the campus
Police force, the six meters
in the Student Union lot will
be changed to allow two-hour
parking.
The Student Council Park
ing Board had recommended
the change since very few
students used the short-time
meters.
Masters noted Friday that
frequent checks made on the
meters showed only one in
six in use most of the time.
