'Success
Show Attendance
Estimated 3,600
The Kingston Trio show was
termed a "tremendous suc
cess," by Howard Kooper,
executive co-ordinator of Corn
Cobs sponsors of the show.
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. The Student
Union lost $300 to $500 on the
'59 Trio show.
Kooper said, "We would
again like to thank AWS
for their relinquishment
time so that we could neve
the Kingston Trio, and also
thank the students' of the
University for their support
of the show."

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

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

president.
Eason explained before the
meeting to the Daily Nebras
kan that ""as far as we (the
special committee on House

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

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

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.

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

Eason.
Mud in Face

floor, declaring himself nei-

to join something; but you ! -vast projects witn iuu co

stated: "The wheat is worth

Eason replied to this and
other queries about the tone
of the articles.

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-

which would infringe on mo

Eason explained that the

The meeting, with esti
mated attendance at about

cause of the Kingston Trio,
but lasted for about two
hours.
