Terrace Hall, once a dormitory for independent junior and senior women, "now functions as a semi cooperative house open to freshmen and sophomores as well. This new role is a curious blend of "organized inde pendence,'' explained pres ident Pat Ostdiek. Exec Council ''Because Terrace Hall has characteristics of both it is difficult to draw a defining line. This has re sulted in several questions ' now under discussion in ex ecutive council. For exam ple, should everyone be re quired to attend house functions? Should everyone be asked to join activi ties?' At present. Terrace Hall operates under a three point program of work, study and social activity which is largely non-compulsory. This year's tally Teveals that: Although members are not required to obtain a, specific grade-point aver ege, Terrace ranked as top. house on campus the first semester with a B.533 av erage; Although members are not required to earn activ ity points, each girl parti cipates in an average of three activities and a few in as many as eight. -Although each girl is required to perform four or five house duties per week, 24 of the 3& coeds (or 8G ) hold from 5-25 luurs of additional employ ment. . Average number of outside . employment is 16. Two Differences According to Dean of Women Helen Snyder, Ter race differs, from .Love Memorial Hall, the only ether women's doop on campus, in two important respects: (1) duties do not include planning and cook I9601 Cornhusker Will He Ready On Thursday Crnhnsker's wfll be distributed Thursday and Friday, according t Robin Snyder, business manager.

House duties at Terrace Hall number 18, but may be cl a s s e d in five main groups: setting-up for meals, serving dinner, furniture and cleaning floors. In addition, each girl cleans her own room. . The duties are regulated by the girls themselves through a four-member council elected by popular vote. At the beginning of the semester, the council studies each girl's schedule and assigns duties on the basis of four or five per week. TratJs Duties Although duties are con-, sidered permanent once as signed, conflicts may be eliminated by trading with other "girls. Failure to do o results in a 25 cent fine for a missed duty and a 15 cent fine for a late duty. , Throughout the year, the council meets regularly to discuss house problems and levy these fines.

Thirty Undergo Tests For Dorm Counselors Dorm counselor interviews move into the second day to day as more than 30 junior and senior coeds interested in the Women's Residence Halls counseling system, are interviewed for counselor po sitions. The dorm counseling pro gram originated this semes ter as an experimental pro ject of the University Mortar Boards, Eight of the- Mortar Boards have "been living in Raymond Hall and acting as dorm counselors. As a result of their experiences the Mor tar Boards drew up a plan for a permanent system of upperclass counselors in the three freshmen halls. Later Results The Mortar Board proposal stated, ""The type of program we envisage c ould not be come 100 per cent effective overnight, but within three years we believe it could yield remarkable results." The dorm counseling plaa will include four senior coun selors and 12 junior counsel ors.

Tbey include ele mentary education, physic al education, music, jour nalism, art, home econom ics, business training edu cation, mathematics, Eng lish and chemistry. "This variety of in terests has the paradoxic al effect of increasing unity within the house," said so cial "chairman Pauline Hill. "We know that if we need help with decorations or music, we can find, it by asking our art and music majors for advice' "she ex plained. Save Money Why do girls choose to live in Terrace rather than another tjpe of residence? According to Dean Snyder, the chief purpose of a co op is to save money, but important by-products of unity and loyalty are de veloped when a group of girls work closely togeth er. These sentiments are echoed by the girls them selves. During a brief poIL 50 per cent of the 28 ques f ' " ... will live ia Raymond HalL The senior dorm counselor will receive free board an room. Junior counselors will receive one third of their board and room. Dean of Women Helen S vo der remarked, I am very enthusiastic about tbe plaa. The 'trial-run' made by the Mortar Boards has proven successfuL" She said the dona counsel ing program was more in line with a general trend toward programs of this type at uni versities of comparable size. Greater Value The Mortar Board members feel the positive results which they have obtained from one experimental semester indi cate such a program would have an even greater value on a yearly basis. One freshmaa commented, "I think the dorm counseling program, if effective at the beginning of (he freshmaa year, mould help very much. I would have loved to have bad someone who knew what was going oa tell me what was happening." The counselors, the Mortar Boards contend, could be very helpful not only 'with personal problems of the girls but also scholasticaHy by helping the freshmen to realize the Mlnert Heads ! i Rodeo Group Lowell Minert has been named president of the Uni versity Rodeo Association, Minert is a sophomore in Agriculture.

Several indicated that al though lack of money w as a primary factor in choos ing Terrace, they would continue to live there even if financial conditions were to change. Other factors listed were: freedom from neces sity to lock doors, good study atmosphere wonder ful housemother and cook. No Laundry On the unfavorable side of the ledger several girls indicated that they did not like the lack of laundry .fa cilities, the small rooms which need redecorating and the fact that there is only one telephone for 28 girls. Although the walls may be drab in color on the inside, the outside yard may well make up for this. "Terrace, with its stone fountain and newly sodded lawn occupies one of the most picturesque spots on campus," said Deatf Snyder. importance of good study ha bits. Mortar Boards emphasiza the intangibles of a counsel ing responsibility. The re marked that they enjoy and do take part in the staff duties during the -week but the real counseling occured when the door is open during the day or night or when the frkndly "Hf comes from the freshman to the senior on campus. A personal counseling pro gram makes use of the slmpla principle of the value of peo ple, they said.
