ing. In addition, the lot on the
southwest corner o f 17th
Street and Northside Avenue

"The move was necessitat
ed by the rapid thaw of the
heavy snowfaD," explained
James Pittenger, administra
tive assistant to the chancel
lor. "The ROTC units usnaUy
drill on the mall south of the
Military and Naval Armory.
Because of the excessive
moisture in the ground the
grass covered area would be
come a sea of mud from con
tinuous use," added Mr. Pit
tenger. The paved lot will be used
exclusively for ROTC drill
ing purposes and parking for
personnel working in Nebras-

Things In Common
A male entering the Univer
sity for the first time is
placed with someone resi
dence officials feel he has
much in common with.
For this reason colored stu
dents are placed together be
cause in the past they have
preferred it in this way.
In the same way men ma
joring in a similar field are
also placed together as room
mates.
"Any student who does not
find his rooming situation sat-
ka HaU. However, the alter
nate lots east and south of
the building wUl provide more
than sufficient space to han
dle the cars usually parked
there.

isfactory may request a

Might Be Difficulty
He stated that there had
been no trouble in the past.
"However," he said, "many
Nebraskans have not had the
opportunity live around Ne
groes and if they were put into
a room with a person of an
other race there might be
some difficulty."
If the students wants to
room with a foreign student
or a Negro he may do so,
said Calvert.
"Here at the dorms we have
all types of boys. There is m
discrimination as I see it. Oa
the other hand the Greeks do
not have colored or foreign
students living in the organ
ized houses. This exemplifies
discrimination," be sakL
Calvert emphasized that the
University has had no major
discrimination problems is
the past and that there was
no reason to start any now.
Foreign students have been
refused privileges in Lincoln
recently. Those from Sooth
Africa .have .bees .refused
service at some Lincoln res
taurants, he said.
"Some foreign students
come from places where
there is no discrimination and
in many instances black and
white inter-marry. When they
begin fanning prejudice these
people who win be leaders in
their countries form a differ
ent attitude t h a t of Anti-
America." Calvert concluded.
Cancer
Society
Organizes
Students To Be
'Guinea Pigs9
The American Cancer So
ciety has designated Univer
sity students as "guinia pigs"
in its drive to educate the
public about cancer.
The campus is the first in
the country to establish a
college cancer educational so
ciety. If successful, the ACS
plans to extend the program
to other universities next
year.
Temporary chairman and
organizer Terry Higgins said
that the goal of the Univer
sity society is "to help save
lives by bringing to the stu
dents the right information
concerning cancer."
He mentioned three specific
objectives of the group:
1) Making persons aware of
their position "in time" in re
gard to the seven danger sig
nals of the deadly disease.
2) Organizing similar
activities on every campus in
Nebraska.
3) Eventually setting up an
organization on every campus
in the United States.
Recently recognized by the
University, Higgins empha
sized that the society is not
a "fund raising organization.'
An contributions to the so
ciety handled by the regional
office in Omaha.
Methods to be incorporated
in the society's puMic educa
tion program include films
about actual cancer patients
and others dealing with such
subjects as smoking; speak
ers, including doctors and pa
tients; and pamphlets and
other literature.
The University group plans
to work through organized
bouses, graduate bouses and
science classrooms in its
campaign. ,
Officers for the new group
are Bui ConnelL president;
Judy Lang, vice president;
Jeri Johnson, treasurer; and
John PowelL secretary.
