Foreign Petersen was a member of a nine-man team from the United States that toured eight far eastern countires recently. These countries included Pakistan, India, Thailand, Malaya, Australia, Philippines, Hong Kong and Japan. According to Petersen the purpose of the tour was to obtain information related to foreign policy that would en able the United States to im prove its trade and aid pro grams. The questions which the nine members set out to solve were: (1) Are present aid pro grams doing any good and PAJAMA Pershing Auditorium This Friday Cr Vol. 34, No. 85 Rush Change Contemplated; Sororities, Panhell To Vote By Ann Moyer Panhellenic has devised a new Rush Week program for the coming year. According to Miss Made line Girard, Panhellenic ad visor, the plan must still be discussed in the sorority houses and accepted by vote of Panhellenic representa tives before it can go into effect this fall. Aids Rushees The plan will allow rushees as well as sororities to be come better acquainted with mimm it j iiu.ji.iimi ytni m. m.i nm-,u, i mmum 1. 1 mil npryu m t I 4 2 ' i jf Jim SV: f ONCE-A-YEAR-DAY According to mem bers of the "Pajama Game" cast, a "once-a-year day" is the time when everyone really lives it up, doing foolish things nev Union Posters Beginning April 1, all post ers to be displayed on Student Union bulletin boards must be stamped in the Activities Of fice, Room 136. No advertis ing posters may be put up more than 10 days in advance of the event. Affairs Promoted Says Extension how long will they continue to do good? (2) Does U.S. technical as sistance mean a cutback in the use of our farm products? (3) What are the possibili ties of increasing sales of farm products through com mercial channels? (4) How does the competi tive basis affect these coun tires? Petersen said that some conclusions were that the biggest need for food in these countries occurred in the heavily populated areas of India and Pakistan. These countries lack enough income to buy prod ucts outright from commer cial channels and therefore must rely on aid and assist ance from our wealthier na tions. 'Free Side' ' According to Petersen, the objective aim of the United States should be to keep these countries on the "free side" of world affairs. In order to do this, the U.S. must contin ue to give aid to these coun tries for many years to come. "The U.S. has a selfish in terest", said Petersen. Its in dustry and resources are nu merous and its people want to see something in return for their products. Petersen also commented that these countries have two alternatives to follow. They can follow Communist China and other Communistic na tions which use propaganda to Influence nations or they can follow the slow demo cratic process which the Unit ed States advocates. Some of these countries are in somewhat the same state as the United States was in 1800, Petersen said. These countries seem to stray away from foreign entangle ments instead of following LINCOLN, NEBRASKA more girls and may help the rushee to recognize her own group sooner, Miss Girard said. In addition under the new system the personal contact between rushees and Panhel lenic can be preserved. Miss Girard explained that many schools use IBM machines during Rush Week which oft en leads to confusion on the part of the rushee. "Our present rush system has grown to the point where it is difficult for Panhellenic Political Discussion Open to All Students Key politicians from the Unicameral and campus leaders in Young Republi- Farm Economist the trends of many of the powerful nations. Joint Effort All of this aid and assist ance should be on a joint ftf fort of the powerful nations because the problems are too big for the United States to handle alone. The aid program should be redirected so that it fits into the "Food for Peace" pro gram instead of just solving our surplus problem, he said. The best customers of U.S. trade are countries that are highly industrialized, howev er, we still must be willing to give aid to those countries which lack income and are hungry, but cannot buy food, he commented. . Petersen said that we in the United States cannot af ford to sit back and say our standard of living is high and our wages are too high. We must compete against other countries in aiding these countries. Trade Policies According to Petersen with elections coming soon we must weigh the level of the foreign aid program. We should determine whether we should have trade poli cies which will work both in ternally and internationally or whether we should settle for the conservative style. Some of these nations are more highly industrialized and have a competitive ad vantage in location. An ex ample of this is Australia, which markets considerable wheat. Therefore, the United States must continue to give through aid programs instead of on the market which would destroy much of the Austra lian market and would not follow the "Food for Peace" trend. Saturday 8:15 advisors to care for problems personally," Miss Girard said. The tentative rush plan schedule will fit in more closely with New Stu dent Week making a more effective and compact pre school session.

Lutheran House The discussions will be held at 7 p.m. in the Lutheran Student House. Some of the pointed ques tions will be: "Should the United States practice segre gation? What about a Catho lic for president? Is- the U.S. behind Russia in nuclear power? What about the press and politics" "Many of the questions that have been concerning first time voters and others di rectly or indirectly involved in the coming election will be presented," said Jackie Wilkes, executive secretary of the YWCA, which has made the program arrange ments. "The informal , discussions with the political figures in volved, in current issues will be an excellent opportunity for students to meet the peo ple in government and talk with them," she said. Discussion Topics Other problems the leaders will discuss to go along with the general theme "Politics and Christianity," will be farm issues, education and povernment, foreign aid, civ il rights issues, and the posi tion of religion in regard t6 the candidates.

Miss Girard said this would make it eas ier on both rushees and sor ority girls by providing break in the long session of open houses. Party invitations for th first set of parties are due early Friday afternoon. This first set of parties will in clude six one hour parties, Miss Girard said. Each girl may give only one party to six of the houses from which she receives in vitations. Therefore, she will attend six parties at six dif ferent houses. Sororities will receive re plies to their invitations at 6:30 p.m. Friday evening and hold parties from 8-9 p.m. and 9-10:10 p.m. that same night. The other four parties of the first group will be held Saturday beginning with a breakfast lasting from 9-10 a.m. A second party will be held from 10:10-11 a.m. and the last two parties of the first group from 2-3:00 and 3:10-4:00 p.m. that afternoon. Second Set Invitations for the second set of parties will be due from sororities at 9:00 p.m. Saturday night. Sunday morning will be free so that both rushees and actives may attend church, although rushees will fill out their second set of party in vitations sometime between 9-12 noon. The second set of parties consists of four two-h our parties. Again the rushee must give only one party to four houses from which she receives invitations. Three of the two-hour par ties will be held on Sunday. This will include an after noon, dinner and evening party. There will be an hour break between the afternoon and dinner party. The last party will be held Monday morning and rushees will file their preferences at 11 a.m. Bids from the sorori ties will not be due until 7 p.m. Noon Luncheon Rushees will receive their bids Tuesday noon and sori ties will have a noon lunch eon for their new pledges rather than the usual evening banquet. Miss Girard said this sys tem is used by many schools the size of the University. "In. fact, the University is unique for its present rush system," she said, "but our rush program has expanded to the point where we thought this change was advantage ous to both rushees and sor orities." She added that the new system would be experiment al this Fall if put into effect and if not satisfactory the old method would be restored. She said the biggest change in the program is that Rush Week will be held later than usual and there fore not interfere with sum mer jobs.
