New Student Week opened
officially on Wednesday with
the Chancellor's reception
and Frosh Hop at the Union.
Confusion rose as Arts and

University To Try Coed Dorm
In Burr Hall on Ag Campus
Only a lobby separates the
female and male students at
Burr Hall on Ag campus this
year.
However, the lobby is the
only common ground between
the' two sets as large oak
doors mark the west wing as
"men's" and the east wing
as "women's". Also seven
counselors, one for each floor
in both wings, are on full
duty to see that the lobby is
the only common ground
between them.
Prompting the shift of 96
coerig to Burr Hall was the
terrific overflow of girls in
Fedde Hall. The University
felt that Burr Hall was never
filled to capacity with Ag stu
dents so they shifted the girls
to the east wing of Burr.
The male section will now
accommodate only 112 stu
dents and many others will
' have to live in apartments.
Apartments

resident advisor, Univer-
sity officials thought that it

cratic leaders and officials.
He and his personal staff
plus his traveling press
staff of 15 will leave Lin
coln at 4:15 p.m. for Tope
ka, Kan.
Ferguson said he hoped
the students would form in
their assignments to advis
ors. According to Lee W. Chat
field, director of New Stu
dent Week, the confusion was
due to the great number of
students and to the new op
eration of the reception. Aft
er a half hour, he said, the
confusion subsided.
Students were divided into
groups on the basis of col
leges. Each student went
through the Chancellor's re
ceiving line and also met the
dean of his college. Students
then met their advisors in
formally. At 10 p.m. the Frosh Hop
began in the Union Ballroom,
with Eddie Haddad's combo
playing. Helen Snyder, Dean
of Women, said, "It was con
fusion at first, but the stu
dents found it fun later."
Coliseum Convocation
Thursday morning, the new
students assembled in the
Coliseum for a convocation.
Chancellor Clifford M.
Hardin welcomed the students
to the University.
Following the convocation,
members of Innocents and
Mortar Boards, directed a
general orientation meeting.
Students then met in groups
with their faculty advisors.
Thursday afternoon was
filled with health meetings,

been shortened one day this
year, a change permitted by
pre-registration this summer

entrance exams are only the
ones who have' not taken
would be easier for the men
to find apartments than It
would for the women.
Brown stated that he
thought the new program,
only an experimental one at
present, has many possibili
ties. He said that many cam
puses have adopted the idea
and have had good results.
Brown added that since.
Burr Hall and Fedde Hall
residents have always eaten
together in the cafeteria why
can't they live in the same
dorm under strict supervi
sion. Both the male and female
students have been orientat
ed on the situation and have
been warned that any student
found in the wrong area will
forfeit his or her contract
and right to live in the resi
dence halls at the University.
The violator may also Jeop
ardize his right to stay in the
University.
Extra Precautions
As extra precautions Brown
said that the staff has tried to
anticipate what might hap
pen and have taken neces-
front of the Student Union
to welcome Sen. Johnson
as they did when Sen. John
Kennedy was here last year.
He added that there will
be some students going to
the airport to greet the sen
ator as he steps off the
plane. -

tional Merit Exams.
Accordinff to James S. Pit-
tinger, assistant to the Chan
cellor, these tests do as sat
isfactory as University en
trance in placing students.
Too Early
Helen Snvder. Dean of
Women, stated that she felt
it was too early to evaluate
the merits of the shortened
student week. However, she
said that the new system did
seem to close tne gap De
tween activities. "You can do
more things faster," she ex
plained.
"There is a continuing need
for New Student Week activi
ties," Pittenger stated. "Each
year we try to improve
them."
If the enrollment keeps in
creasing, changes will be
projected m many ways: for
instance, utilization of the
Elein building. . now called
Nebraska Hall. We knew
trends were moving toward
greater enrollment, but
hadn't contemplated such a
great leap this year," wir.
Pittenger continued.
Housing ( Faculties
Tn connection with the
housing facilities for the in
coming men, Selleck Quad
rangle Manager Alfred B.
Calvert reported that the
dorm is filled to capacity.
"TT.nnncrti Hnrm antilications
to fill the dorm were filed
by August 1. Any one com
ing now will uve in tne Duns,
section, an overflow area in
the basement," Calvert said.
Selleck will accomodate 930
men, including dorm coun
selors, in the rooms and 40 in
the overflow.
Calvert estimated mat
about 15 men had broken
their dorm contracts to move
into fraternity houses. This is
permitted by a clause in the
contract stating it can be
broken by paying $40.
Theater To Cast
Different Plays
Joint tryouts for two differ
ent plays will be held Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday
from 3-5 p.m. and 7-10 p.m.
at Howell Theatre.
"Streetcar Named Desire"

of speech and dramatic art.
It will be presented Dec.

enrv stens nnw so that temp
tation might not prevail later.
Some of these extra precau
tions are an increased num
ber of doors and locks in the
womens area, signs definitely
distinguishing the two areas,
pig glass in some of the win
dows instead of the regular
window panes and the coun
selors on each of the floors.
The social factor , will be
stepped up said Brown as the
nearness of the coeds will
prompt the men to improve
their appearance and to brush
up on their manners.
Both the male and the female
students say that coeduca
tional living in the dorm will
present a real challenge and
that the social barrier some
times existing between the
two dorms will practically
diminish.
A coed said that although
Burr Hall was missing some
of the facilities, such as laun
dry service, she was certain
that it presented a good at
mosphere for the student.
The Burr Hall East girls will
use the laundry facilities in
Fedde Hall.
