'f Dean Snyder Comments on Trend College coed catches col lege man no college diplo ma. It appears this is fast be coming a standard American joke. Robert Jameson, whose art ticle in the Saturday Evening Post was reviewed recently in the Daily Nebraskan, noted only' one in three college freshmen will graduate. Diploma For Ring Chances are many of these were the coeds exchanging a diploma for a ring to match the ones they acquired some where between studies and vacations. Dean of Women Helen Sny der agreed this Is one of the "biggest dropout factors among college women to day." "There are so many more early marriages, and the idea seems to be to let the boy finish," she said. "What the woman with only Med School Plans Clinic On Alcohol Clergy Will Study Drinking Problem A two-day institute for the clergy, centered on "Alco holism," will be held at the University College of Medi cine's Conkling Hall January 7 and 8. William Ferguson of New York City, field representa tive for the National Council on Alcoholism, will be the fea tured speaker. His topic will be "Alcoholism in the U.S.A." The health secretary of the Omaha United Community Services, the chairman of the Medical College's department of internal medicine and a resident at the Nebraska Psy chiatric Institute will also speak on the s u b j e ct of "Alcoholism." Panel discus sion will follow each topic. The program will draw pas tors from parishes throughout the state and is designed to acquaint the minister with theproblem of alcoholism. "It will disclose that it is more a moral problem. It is a dis ease with physical, social, emotional and financial rami fications," according to Rev. Mr. Mover. "We hope," he added, "to give the pastors resources for helping alcoholics who want to be helped, and we will try to tie in alcoholism to the whole concept of pastoral care to the individual." The course, open to clergy from all denominations, is sponsored by the College of Medicine in cooperation with the Nebraska Lutheran Social Service, the Omaha Council of Churches and the Archdio cese of Omaha.

The brochure includes a re port of the center under con struction at Ag Campus.

"An educational disparity can cause a lot of trouble so cially and job-wise in a mar riage. Some employers even interview wives of appli cants," she said. She also noted that many women who marry young and have their families young will want to work after their chil dren are grown. And the number of widows who must support families also is in creasing nationally. Miss Snyder has collected figures to prove her point. 24 Million In 1890, only 4 million wom en worked, but now approxi mately 24 million women combine domestic and profes sional duties. Fraction-wise, one-s ixth of all women worked when grandma was young and two-f i f t h s are working now. Even more startling is that in 1890, half of the women never worked at all and now nine out of 10 will work at some time or another, said Dean Snyder. And the coed who may be aside should note that na tional figures show today's Rag Contest Candidates Submitted Seventeen coeds have been selected as candidates for the Daily Nebraskan-spon-sored "Best Dressed Girl on Campus" contest. The girl winning the title will be entered in the na tional contest sponsored by Glamour magazine. The 10 winners of the national con test will be flown to New York in June for 10 days of parties, fashion shows, tours and dinners. Interviews for the Univer sity candidates will be held after Christmas vacation. Candidates will be notified as to place and time of their interview. .The coeds and their affilia tion are Jeannie Spahnake, Alpha Chi Omega; Jackie Shaffer, Alpha Omicron Pi; Sueleal Thompson, Alpha Phi; Mary Anne Weber, Al pha Xi Delta; Kay Strauss, Chi Omega; Janet Hoeppner, Delta Delta Delta; Jeanie Garner, Delta Gamma; Pen ny Praulle, Gamma Phi Beta.

It goes on to say, "Educa tional programs encourage and help adults and young people to develop their indi v i d u a 1 leadership abilities and to enforce their training to meet the demands of changing times. "It is to this prime aim that the new center is dedi cated." Nebraska's center's unique feature, the brochure states, is tne "iiau oi weDrasxa Youth in r?cognition by state university of its oblige tion to the 49 per cent day's high s chool graduates who would not otherwise en ter an institution of higher learning." The "Hall" also recognizes school students who drop out of school before graduation. These youths will be en couraged to attend two to four week sessions, learning vocational, recreational, fam ily and civic responsibilities. women work an average of 25 years. In 1890, the working woman worked only 11 years. What does all this mean to the Nebraska dolly-freshmen sophomore, junior with the new Christmas diamond? Preparation Needed Miss Snyder says, "It shows if she is planning to get mar ried and not work right aft erward she still should pre pare for a profession." The dean of women also noted reports from various graduate schools that the number of female students is dwindling. Yet national figures show 40 per cent of all professional workers today are women. So, the opportunity is there. For example, in 1890 four fifths of all professional wom en were teachers. Now only two-fifths are. 'Need Shown "It just goes to prove wom en are branching out, and need more education," the dean said. Miss Snyder did note that during the first semester last year, 12 women living in the Women's Residence Halls dropped out. A total of 495 lived there. She noted that only two dropped at the end of the first semester for marriage. Twelve of the other 25 went to different schools. Other reasons were health, work and financial. One dropped without reason, she said. NU Cagers Lose, 57-53 See Page 3 "Most of the girls were freshmen and sophomores," dean Snyder noted. No rec ords were kept second semes ter. In addition to marriage ideas, Dean Snyder listed oth er reasons she thinks students drop out. She agreed with Jameson that manyjtudents may not have i)een"excited to learn" in high s o h o o I. "This is essential to good scholarship," the dean added. College educations come too easy to many students Miss Snyder thought. Di plomas were more ser iously sought in less pros perous times. "Many par ents who didn't get a chance to go to college are handing the opportun ity to their children on a silver platter.; she said.

NU Students Attend Ecumenical Meeting Forty-four Universty stu dents returned Sunday from Ohio University where 3,600 students from 300 American campuses and 100 other countries met for a week at an Ecumenical Conference on the Christian world mission. The group represented the religious houses and YM YWCA's on campus. Nine Frontiers Nine strategic frontiers for study forums were led by ex perts in each field. The study forums and an explanation of them included: 1. Technological Upheaval Due to the fantastic de velopment and extension of the machine and consequent growth of cities and vast or ganizations where men are treated less than human the Gospel needs to be spoken in ii?w ways. 2. Racial Tensions Dr. Martin Luther King, recog nized authority on racial ten sions and author of books on Southern conditions, told the group that segregation in any form is a moral evil which no Christian can accept. Great Role He also said that colored people have a great role to play in that they must work for first class citizenship but not use second class action to get it. 3. Militant Non-Christian Faiths Many millions of people find that the meaning and destiny of life in ancient and modern faiths today show fresh vigor. Emphasis was made that scandalous attitudes and ac tions should not be allowed against those apart from the Gospel. 4. New Nationalisms Peo ple today forcefully thrust their way to a new national identity and integrity. The question raised was, "Will the Christian witness be heard by people within this explosive situation?" 5. Modern Secularism Secularism of this age is seen in the organization of life around values which re ject the reality of God. God's word to materialistic culture is often stifled by the secular ism in the church itself. 6. Responsibility for States manship In a world where communities stand in precar ious antagonism, students wonder "Can a Christian wit- ness De maae inruugn con structive statesmanship? 7.

"Can the word of God come alive for the world's student?" was the topic of discussion. 8. Displaced, Rejected, Up rooted Peoples Large num bers of these which exist in every country are a direct challenge to the world and the Church: The question, dis cussed by those who come from the areas and others completely unaware of the situation, was, "What can be done?" 9.

Foreign Problems Firesides in the evenings brought representatives from different countries together to discuss problems which ranged from labor and poli tics to sc ience and the church. "We were made aware of problems in many parts of the world ranging from in dependence for Nigeria to fraternity rushing," accord ing to Don Epp who attended the conference. "We discovered a real need for Christian action on the University campus," he con tinued.
