The Trio made their appear ance at Pershing Municipal Auditorium Wednesday night. ' The show was attended by 3,600 people, a figure far topping Mast year's 2,100 attendance to the trio. Wednesday's last-minute tick et sales were 2,000. "The show was a record attendance for this type of show in Lincoln," said Koop er. A gross receipt of $8,300 was gained from the 3,600 tickets sold, netting the Cobs a $1,500 profit, according to Kooper. This year's gross receipts almost doubled last year's take of $4,278.

Student Activities Handbook Slated To Be Printed Soon By Jim Forrest A "Handbook for Student Activities" is Bearing com pletion and will go to press by Monday according to Dave Godbey, chairman of the Stu dent Council activities com mittee. The Handbook, which was authorized by the Council at their Feb. 17 meeting, con tains a model form of the constitution of student organi zations, procedure -for adopt ing and amending the con stitution, regulations concern ing the keeping of the group's records, and a statement of Council power as outlined by the Faculty Senate. Necessary Criteria Discussed at the Wednes IFC Repeals Plan To Publish by Dave Wohlfarth Three motions were passed at the IFC meeting held Thursday night. The IFC took action on Tom Gilliland's proposal from the Feb. 3 meeting that over all house averages not be printed in the rush book. The motion to repeal a planned inclusion of aver ages was passed by a vote of 12 to seven. The underlying principle behind the declination of the IFC to print averages is that the inclusion of averages would make the rush book competitive. The upcoming rush book is not to be on a competitive basis between fraternities, but to be a contributor to the fraternity system in general, according to the rules sat down by the Alumni Advis ers. A constitutional change was made in connection with the initiation of three and four semester pledges and a new IFC scholarship was okayed. The motion stating, "A pledge may be initiated as long as he is kept on the house roll in accordance with national fraternity laws," was passed with the addition of an amendment. The amendment states, "Names will be added and dropped with accordance of the Di vision of Student Affairs." This motion and amend ment was suggested after Robin Snyder's original con stitutional change proposal. This change would have re quired a pledge not making his average in his first two semesters to make two con secutive five averages, de pending upon national laws. This original motion was de feated before the later revi sion. The council passed a schol arship plan announced by Dave McConahay, scholarship chairman. The $125 scholar ship will be awarded eaeh semester to a sophomore in a fraternity with a 6.0 aver age. The scholarship will be based upon scholastic achievement and leadership endeavors shown in the fra ternity system. The three finalists will be selected by the IFC, then the winner will be picked by ad Vol. 34, No. 70 P reject HELP Discusse ig Ts Get High-Bp No by Dick Stuckey A special all dorm meeting was held Wednesday night for the purpose of discussing the controversial HELP pro ject ((House Experiment in Long-range Planning) pro posed by Tom Eason, HAM president. Eason explained before the meeting to the Daily Nebras kan that ""as far as we (the special committee on House Organization of the RAM Main Cabinet) are concerned, there will be no heated trou ble at any time. Those who object to the idea do so largely because of misunder standing which we hope to clear up here.1'' Room Assignments Albert Calvert, Selleck manager, began the meeting with an explanation of how administrative policy on room assignment fits an with HELP. day meeting of the Council was the section of the Hand book that will state the crite ria necessary to organize a student organization. The Council was asked by chair man Godbey to formulate these regulations into legisla tion for their placement in the Handbook. The rules for forming ajis adopted. student organization, which occupied the majority of Council's business in the mak ing, state that any group wishing to form an organiza tion must submit a letter of intent with no less than five signatures of prospec tivemembers to the Council. This group will then be given one month in which to Averages ministrative representatives. In other action the IFC sug gested names for chaperones fortheMar .18 IFC Ball, sug - gested a public relations pro gram be started and an nounced that it will support the Student Council in its pro posed change in the final exams schedule. Filings Are Open For Spring Day Filings for Spring Day assistants are now open. Application blanks can be obtained outside room 339 in the Student Union and must be returned by 2 pjn. today. People interested should also sign for an interview time. Interviews will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 noon Saturday. Applicants will be judged on their creative sugges tions and enthusiasm. Approximately 10-15 assis tants will be selected. Grad Course Now Offered An evening course for grad uate credit is being offered for the first time this semes ter by the College of Engi neering and Architecture for the benefit of .practicing en gineers who hold bachelor degrees. ' The course, taught by Prof. Lyk E. Young, deals with stresses and strains of mate rial, theories of failures and the introduction of elastic en ergy methods. Fourteen engineers are now attending this course in En gineering Mechanics 248, and additional courses will be added in the future if the demand is great enough, ac cording to Prof. Emerald J. Marmo, chairman of the de partment of engineering me chanics. Union Dance An after - the - game dance, sponsored by the Union will be held in the Pan American Raom of the Union following the Oklahoma State game Saturday. LINCOLN, ''In the past, a sort of squatters sovereignty has existed in connection with room assignment. Anyone in a room or a house has first rights to retain that room for the next semester provided he submits his contract be fore the deadline in May," Calvert explained. "This should squelch any rumor that anyone will be re moved from any house or room in connection with the HELP project," Calvert con tinued. ""Personally I love this dorm, and have no de sire for another job. If I'm not fair and square to you fellows in every shape and form, I don't deserve this job. Everyone must be given as square a deal as can be given." Calvert stated, "We have great diversified talent here for some the dorm is only a place to eat, study, sleep- form, and that, during this forming period, the group shall be given all organiza tional privileges with the ex ception of collecting funds. The rules go on to say that this group must select a faculty advisor during this one month period to advise until the group's constitution Forfeiture of Privileges The group must remember that any violation of the fore going requirements or failure to submit a constitution and or select a faculty advisor by the end of the one month forming period will result in the forfeiture of organiza tional privileges for the re mainder of that academic lyear, stated the Council. Roy Neil, chairman of the : honors convocation commit tee, told the Council that it had been arranged for the LI. HIT -II .1 Jionoraoie M. (Jnugiug. am i bassador to the United States jfrom India, to speak at the : convocation to be held on ! April 19. Deon Stuthman, All-Univer- Lity open House committee, reported to the Council that his committee had talked to James S. Pittinger, assistant to the Chancellor, about the planned open house this spring. Stuthman said thai Pittin ger was in favor of having an All-University Open House and suggested that a letter of explanation be sent to high school principals at once. This letter will also ask for pos- sible ideas and suggestions, according to Stuthman. Pittinger suggested that the open house be held dur ing the same week that the new Kellogg Center is to be dedicated, and that maybe a pseudo-Rush Week be held to give visitors a place to stay on campus. HOURS OF GROOMING Carding a sheep's wool is only a portion of the pre paration Dick White has been making for the Block and Bridle showmanship contesi Saturday- Judging the show which begins at 2 p.m. in the Horse Barn will be out standing livestock growers and showmen Willard Waldo, John Skinner and W. G. McCubbin. Over 40 Ag students have en tered in three groups for showing cattle, NEBRASKA and for others to only eat and sleep but there are some men who feel that they want more from the Quad, I feel this is where the diffi culties arise. "As long as these people do not infringe upon tie rights of others they should have this opportunity. Same Rights "The fellow who wants only to eat, sleep, and study should have the same rights. No one group will get extra breaks of any kind that will not be offered to anyone else. "There is no idea that is worthwhile at all if not pro and con, and the cons have every right to be .heard as well as the other side. One may withhold from the pro gram if he wishes no sacri fice or infringement upon his rights." Calvert concluded, Td like to say that this is the most interest you fellows have ever shown except for some of our poorer meals." Applause and laughter followed Calvert's last remarks. After a break for punch and cookies, Eason took the floor and outlined the ideas presented in his five letters to Dorm residents. Shouldn't Influence "The project should not, in any way, influence anyone who does not wish to par ticipate in it," said Eason. We do not wish to change anyone's beliefs on any idea, but only to let those4 men who wish to go through with I an idea do it. It is as simple s that." Eason discussed fraterni- ties and how the HELP pro-1 ject compared and differed with them. "As far as I'm concerned, there is a lot of good in fra ternities, but there is a lot of bad, too pledge duties, what might appear as exces sive fees, and a whole range of ideas and concepts that may men do not agree with Manv feel as I do. that a man should not have to pledge a rnlprTil -v TO YintaiTl TTIP an- j vantares of one , and take the & ' - . . bad with the good," said Eason. Mud in Face A spokesman from the floor, declaring himself nei- j tner a Big or Little i, stated, It's one thing to ask people to join something; but you ! -vast projects witn iuu co don't have to hit them dn the operation and interest, face with mud before inviting ; Eason explained that the tnem " Student Affairs Office had x- This was in reference to the pressed "favor in a neutral tone of the first two letters way" on the project "Dean written bv Eason and to the Hallgren is in favor f any use of the word "ungodly" I plan that does not infringe in reference to the Little i upon anyone's rights in Sel 16. The paragraph in question stated: "The wheat is worth little until the chaff has been j blown away. Any connection between the ungodly, chatl and the small i independent must be assumed to be purely coincidental . - - " Eason replied to this and other queries about the tone of the articles. Interest Aroused "We knew we must build " i -r ',-1 v . ' 1 v t t Friday, February 26, I960 d: interest which we had to get. This was the reason for the tone of the first two letters and I think you must admit that interest was aroused," he said. Eason apologized for the use of the term "ungodly" in reference to the Little Vs. "I like to think that I have deep religious principles acd admit that I am entirely t fault for the ungodly labeL I apologize deeply, and am sorry that the term was used. It was unfortunate. My uly motive was to stir interest- Eason spent several min utes on the history of the plan and explained the growth of the idea. He explained his history in RAM Council, and told of many ideas which had fallen aside because of "head long opposition from the do nothings." No Support "One thing stood out al ways," Eason continued. "There was never any sup port on any idea. Essentially . there is no active functioning in activities, although the in tramural program has suc ceeded. There have bea sporadic attempts by houses at activities and social une tioning, but these all have fallen aside due to lack of support or manpower." "With this in mind," Eason said, "I began to look for an idea which would improve the situation and give benefits to all men in Selleck." To this came a rebuttal from the floor. "Why even be concerned with the prob lem?" said the spokesman f0r the Little f s. "The reason we live here is because we do not wish to be concerned with those things. We have the greatest organization on campus here, and that is Organized Disor ganization'!" Minority Rights Eason replied to the rebut- ! tal with a question on mmor- ! ity rights. "Should the ma- . imii.Y uic uujc a a wc- : vent the minority '(the Big 1 v r J i : ZJl I's) from developing an idea which would infringe on mo one's rights?" Eason explained that the Big I's wished to be able to form together so that they ! might be able to pursue their leck, saia Jbason. The meeting, with esti mated attendance at about 400, was to be cut short be cause of the Kingston Trio, but lasted for about two hours. KNUS will tape interviews with Eason and Bob Stine, RAM Student Council repre sentative, whom Eason stated was "essentially as well in formed, or better, than any one else except myself Bheep and swine. Judging will be based on preparation, cleanliness and handling of tne animals, the work and training the en trant has done, and general showing in the ring. Ribbons will be presented to winners at the completion of each class and tro phies w ill be presented to top showmen at an honors banquet in April. Spectators be admitted free of charge. V.
