Warned
By Colbert
Present Situation
'Under Advisement
Sigma Phi Epsilon frater
nity has been warned by J. P.
Coibert, dean of student af
fairs, that it "has failed to
abide by the probation it re
ceived last spring."
Colbert said the probation
was broken at a Sept. 19
party in the fraternity house
which included alcoholic bev
erage and a subsequent party
"at the edge of town on a
school night, unauthorized and
unchaperoned."
The matter Is "under ad
visement," the dean said.
Alumni and the fraternity's
national office have been no
tified. In reply to the action, Don
Casey, Sig Ep president, sent
the following letter to the
Daily Nebraskan:
"At the present time very
firm measures have been
taken within the house by both
the alumni and the executive
council. If the University does
see fit to grant us no measure
of leniency, I can only re
spect their decision and its
provocation.
"But if we are to be trusted
in the future we can give you
our word that there will be no
further violations, and also
that we will do our utmost to
improve the position of the
Greek system on this campus
to the best of our abilities."

If the study can find fa
vorable support and answers
to many of the confronting
problems in educational tele
vision, he said, the material
could be used by many
schools and colleges.
The study will last from 10
to 12 months and is headed by
10 regional consultants who
are either experts in the field
of education or television and
radio research.
These 10 people are located
throughout the United , States
and their findings should give
a universal sampling of opin
ion. This opinion should go a
long ways towards determin
ing the future of the TV pro
gram, Dr. Meierhenry said.

FASHION HITS
Dean's Sleuthing Pegs
Knickers, Culottes
Knickers, a culotte robe,
and Helen Snyder, dean of
women, "sieutning m a
Sherlock Holmes-looking
trench coat complete with
pipe and floppy hat were
only a few of the hits at
the Panhellenic fashion show
Thursday.
"Shock colors in bright
and surprising combinations
are one of the most impor
tant ntw looks for this fall,"
revealed Peg Henry Mat
thews, midwest editor of
Mademoiselle fashion maga
zine. Knee-tickler skirts, knick
ers and reversibles are ter
rific for this fall. Culottes,
"skirts with two legs," are
good now and even better for
next spring. Fake fur is
sweeping the country, Mrs.
Matthews added.
Ten categories of different
sorts of clothes kept feminine
watchers entranced. Clothes
were modeled by both soror
ity and alumnae models, who
moved swingingly down a
platform through the middle
of the audience.
Elegant evening clothes
were some of the most fas
cinating. Long evening gowns
seem to be making a come
back along with the long 20
button gloves. Outstanding
were a kelly blue princess
line gown with a dipping
back and a lavendar petal
skirted gown.
Emergency Fund
Funds from the ticket
sales will go into the Dean's
Emergency Fund, which will
be supervised by the Dean
of Women and the Advisory
Board. It's purpose is to tide
both Greek and independent
women over emergencies
when they need cash.
Hqwever, when one girl
saw the evening gowns, she
was heard to say, "Gosh, 1
wish I could get money from
the Fund to buy something
like that!"
Burney Speaks
To Phi Delta Phi
Nebraska Governor Dwight
Burney made his second
on-campus appearance since
his inauguration Thursday
noon in the Pan American
room of the Union.
Governor Burney was
the featured speaker at a law
school luncheon sponsored by
Phi Delta Phi professional
legal fraternity. The governor
earlier appeared before a
meeting of the campus Young
Republicans club.
Topic of Governor Burney's
talks was the effectiveness
of the Nebraska legislative

elementary, secondary and
college levels, met in Lincoln
Sept. 11 and 12 and reviewed
the information and recom

advisory panel.
The consultants identified
the problems directly associ
ated with the utilization and
distribution of recorded tele
vised instruction and consid
ered the necessary proce
dures to conduct the study,
Meierhenry explained.
The data to be compiled
by the consultants by inter
viewing leaders in education
on all levels will be pre
sented to the Office of Edu
cation by June 1, 1961 to de
termine the validity of such
a program.
Dr. Meierhenry said, how
ever, that the completed in
formation "may be available
For an easy, relaxed look
this fall, eased and unpressed
pleats are popular on school
days. A simple black dress
with a plaid tunic provides a
very usable double look.
The double-breasted look
is especially good this year.
Very appealing to the col
lege set was a suede car-coat
length jacket lined with
sheepskin.
Dean Snyder modeled the
indispensible black dress,
with a lovely ruby velvet
toque hat. Of the many dif
ferent sorts of clothes, all
shades of purple seemed to
be tht most fashionable col
or. Tweed Popular
Another big fashion story
is tweed, both in date dresses
and classroom outfits. Hats
and gj'oves often matched the
colors in the outfits.

Miller and Paine department

consultant from Miller's, and
Mrs. Matthews were co-commentators
at the fashion
show.

Flying High
Bill Wells Appointed
Air Wing Commander
hy Steve LougK
After four rigorous weeks
of summer training, the sen
ior cadets of Air Force
ROTC Detachment 465 re
turned to school and started
shaping a grand total of 1,070
cadets into a well-oiled ma
chine. Bill Wells was appointed
Wing Commander by the Pro
fessor of Air Science, Colonel
W. B. Atwell. Gordon Fox
was appointed Vice Wing
Commander.
Other members appointed
to Wells's staff were Bob
Olson, Administrative Offi
cer; Bob Stlne, Operation!
Officer; Scott Simon, Per
sonel Officer; Leslie Cook,
Material Officer; Hale Qulg
ley, Wing Inspector; and
Stephen Lough, Information
Service Officer.
Group commanders se
lected were Dennis Anstine,
Group 103; Roger Dean,
Group 104; and Darrell
Grapes, Group 105.
Majors Appointed
Wells holds the rank of
colonel and Fox holds the
rank of lieutenant colonel.
Other staff members and
group commanders were
given the rank of majors
with the exception of Lough
who is the 1st Captain.
Two new members of the
detachment staff this year
are Mai. George Haag and
Capt. Norman Leas. Major
Haag will be the command
ant of cadets.
Col. Atwell and Major Haag
addressed the basic cadets in
Love Memorial Library Au
ditorium last Thursday and
told the cadets what they ex
pected of th'm.
Your Wing
Colonel Atwell stated, "This
by February first so definite
conclusions and recommenda
tions can be drawn" before
the report goes to the U.S.
Office of Education.
Three Problems
Some of the problems that
the consultants expect to an
swer include 1.) how many
people will instruct, 2.) what
and how they will teach, 3.)
what curricula would be
used?
"Because instruction by
television is a creative art,
there are very definite legal
problems to be considered,"
Dr. Meierhenry said.
Some of these problems in
clude, royalty rights, who
contributes to the program,
what parts of the country will
use the television instruction
and if one part of the country
(Nebraska for example) may
use only part of the instruc
tion provided and drop any
part that wouldn't fit into the
curriculum being taught in
that particular school, he
added.
"We want to know if some
of these problems are insur
mountable or if there is some
hope of success," Dr. Meier
henry noted.
Dr. Meierhenry said that
he and McBride both hope
that, if the study report is
i favorable, some phases could
start "certainly by next
fall."

Plans Comparison
Of Grotvth Studies
Dr. Edward Fry, assistant
professor of anthropology,
will leave tomorrow for Zur
ich, Switzerland, to attend a
meeting of the International
Children's Center.
Dr. Fry will be one of five
United States representatives
at the October 6-7 conference.
The group will investigate all
aspects of child growth and
try to develop some universal
standards.
"To my knowledge," stated
Dr. Fry, "this is the first time
anyone west of the Missis
sippi has attended one of
these meetings."
He will present plans of the
University's department of
anthropology on a growth
study of twins.
"It is a study of the physi
cal growth of Nebraska
twins," he explained. "If you
study non-twins, you can't
learn any thing about genet
ics." "Headquarters of the Inter
national Children's Center is
in Paris. There are growth
studies in Europe, in this
country, and in Afriea all ask
ing the same questions to
different people," he said.
Growth studies on children
are also made in London,
Stockholm and Louisville,
Kentucky, besides Paris and
Zurich. Frank Faulkner of
Louisville, who will also re
present the U.S., is co-ordi-nator
of the studies.

Fossil Completes
Elephant History
After being empty for thir
ty years, the display case in
the northwest corner of Mop
rill Hall is to be occupied.
Thirty years ago this case
was set aside for the display
of a four-tusked mastadon, an
extinct elephant form. A year
ago the bones of one such fos
sil was found near Red Cloud.
"We've been looking for one
of these for thirty years, and
when we finally found it, it
is almost in our back yard,"
said Dr. Bertrand C. Schultz,
director of the Morrill Hall
m
iviuseum.
Preparing the fossil bones'
for exhibit is a long and ar
duous task, according to Rob
ert Eisele, of the vertebrate
paleontology division of the
Museum.
The bones, which are usual
ly embedded in stone, must be
uncovered as much as oossi-
ble and given several coats of
shellac to keep them from
drying out.
After shellacking the bones,
they are wrapped in wet tis
sue paper and burlap strips.
The tissue and burlap casts
are removed upon arrival at
the Museum where the bones
receive their final cleaning
and hardening.
Holes are bored into the
bones for the insertion of
steel rods and the bolting of
the bones when they are ar
ranged in proper order.
Just one more fossil; a
stuffed Indian elephant, is
needed to make elephant his
tory complete in Morrill Hall,
according to Eisele.
