FRESHMAN EMPLOYMENT
Noon Work Prompts
New Approach
A new approach to fresh
man noon-time employment
has been adopted by Univer
sity officials.
Beginning' today freshmen
who wish to work during the
noon hour at the dorms and
the Student Union may secure
special permission to eat
early and will receive addi
tional help from the junior
division with the rearrange
ment of class schedules.
Nearly 25 students are
needed immediately for this
type of work according
Allen Bennett, director of the
Student Union. About 12 are
needed at the Union and the
remainder at both Selleck
Quadrangle and the Wom
en's Residence Halls.
"In the past, it has been
the policy of the Union to
utilize student help as fully
as possible. We believe this
new approach is a significant
step forward in that direc
tion," Bennett added.
Students- are especially
needed between the hours of
11 a.m. and 1 p.m. according

"Spirit Trophy" for this week.
Honorable mention was giv

"Many houses were not
aware that the contest was
on again this week," said Al
Krizelman, Yell King. "How
ever, this week the competi
tion was greater than any
shown at other games this
year or last year,"
"The Kappas' team sup
port did not end with the
game for they were still as
excited when I presented the
trophy to tbem after it was
over," Krizelman said.
The house which has the
majority of weekly awards
will keep the trophy until
the next football season. So
far Delta Delta Delta and
Kappa Kappa Gamma are the
two leading contenders for
the award. However, there
are three home football
games remaining at which
any organized house or group
may try to win the contest.

Student Council Make
Migration Official?
, Unofficial migration could
well become official if stu
dents could show a way for
it to be a credit to the Uni
versity, according to Student
Council officials.
The Student Council consti
tution gives the Council the
power to make the migra
tion official but the adminis
tration has discouraged such
a move and the council has
not yet seen fit to act, said
Ken Tempero, president.
Tempera believes this has
been because of the marked
tendency toward drinking
which accompanies migra
tion. More than 420 football tick

for this year's migration to

be Oct. 22.

the consensus of the build

campus may grow more in
the next 10 years then it
has in the last 10 years. The
problem then lies in where
to put all the increased
expansion, he continued.
Until recently there' was
not much thought as to
-where to locate new build
ings because there seems
to be plenty of room, Don
aldson said. The first build
ings were built around the
mall which was to be the
center of the campus.
But since these firs,t struc
tures have been built, many
other departments have de
manded and received new
buildings. There w a s no
place to move west or south
because that space was al
ready occupied. As a result

The plea for workers is not
intended as a portion of the
work scholarship program for
this year which has already
been filled according to Dr.
Aubrey Forrest, who is in
charge of the work scholar

signed to aid freshmen who
were unaware of the work
scholarships and those who
are facing unanticipated ad

Senate Committee
Will Recommend
The Daily Nebraskan has
learned from a reliable source
that a recommendation will
be made to the Board of Re
gents Friday that the Sigma
Phi Epsilon Fraternity house
be closed until next Septem
ber. The decision as to the re
commendation was made by
the Faculty Senate subcom
mittee on student affairs, the
reliable source said. The re
commendation is subject to
the approval of the board
which will meet in Lincoln
Friday.
Action resulted after Jt P.
Colbert, dean of Student Af
fairs warned in September
that the fraternity "had failed
to abide by the probation it
received last spring."
The probation was broken,
according to Colbert, Septem

fraternity house included al
coholic beverage and a sub
sequent party "at the edge of
town on a school night was
unauthorized and unchaper

Last spring the fraternity

- Other problems are fac

Ag campus, Donaldson con
tinued. There is need for
more student housing, but
where should it be located?
Near the present Burr and

the question is, should more

"Junior colleges have been
refused state aid on the basis
of their supposedly 1 1 o c a 1
function. The study of-"such
factors as enrollment and
geographical location of the
students indicates an unsu
spected' state-wide inclusive
ness," Dr. Glenny said.
State Educators
During the study, Dr.
Glenny, aided by educators
throughout the state, also at
tempted to answer such ques
tions as how much unneces
sary duplication character
izes the higher educational
institutions in the state and
how much enrollment can
each expect during the next
ten years; x
Whether Nebraska is pro
viding adequate training for
its best students, to what ex
tent credits are acceptable
for transfer from one institu
tion to another, how well
present physical facilities
meet current needs;
How well Nebraska has sup
ported the financial needs of
its institutions, how the ex
penditures for higher educa
tion compare with Nebraska
wealth and per capita Income
and what financial resources
will be available for educa
tional needs.
Each of the major areas
of study coordinated by Dr.
Genny is under the super
vision of a three man ad
visory committee headed by
a consultant.
Time Donated
These educators, nominated
by the Nebraska Association
of Colleges and Universities,
have donated freely t'h e i r
time to the project.
If all of the personnel were
paid, the cost of the project
would soar to $300,000 rather
than the $30,000 appropriated
by the legislature, Dr. Glenny
pointed out.
Each committee includes a
representative from one of
the four types of educational
institutions in Nebraska
junior college, teachers col
lege, university and private
college.
Representing the University
are Professor Edgar Palmer,
chairman of the department
of business research, Profes

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Over $50,000 Given
In Regents Each Year
Have you ever wondered
about the University's
scholarship program? How
many Regents scholarships
are given each year? How
much additional money is
available? And how about
work 'holarships and loans?
Dr. Aubrey Forrest, direc
tor of scholarships and finan
cial aid, ha an answer to
your question.
First of all, 300 Regents
scholarships worth $100 apiece
are given to incoming fresh
men each year, while the
sophomore, junior and senior
classes each receive 75.
"They are renewable if a
satisfactory grade average is
maintained, probably a 7.0,"
explained Dr. Forrest.
"We have more funds for
upperclassmen than for fresh
men," he continued. "For
freshmen, outside the $30,000
Regents program, we have
only $23,000 in additional
funds.. This is only enough for
one-fourth of the freshmen
qualified, but we pretty welP
meet the need of quamied
upperclassmen."

er side of the campus?
Many departments have
requested new buildings in
the near future. They are a
new Home Economics build
ing, Ag library, Ag Union
and an Animal Science'
building.
With all of these and oth
er projects the survey com-
mittee is planning where
and when each should be
built so that it will fit into
the University budget, Don

higher learning in the state,"
Dr. Glenny said. "Each has
faced the necessity for plan
ning witnout a thorough
knowledge of the plans of
other institutions for the fu
ture." "The unicameral, like the
educators, was without the
facts which in this case were
necessary to formulate pub
lic policy on problems of
higher education."
Glenny also noted that
these same pressures have
prompted similar surveys in
the neighboring states of Min
nesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Iowa, Colorado and
Kansas.
The measure was intro
duced into the Nebraska leg
islature by Senators Richard
Marvel and Norman Otto.
First Comprehensive
Although this is the first
comprehensive survey of
higher education in Nebraska
using modern techniques of
research and analysis, sev
eral previous studies have
been made.
However, the latest was'
taken 20 years ago and none
of its recommendations were
adopted in full or received
more than partial acceptance,
Dr. Glenny noted.
Dr. Glenny feels this survey
will provide the first set of
basic facts and figures avail
able as a basis for immediate
planning and as a guide for
all future surveys.
In addition, he feels the
presentation of an "outside
perspective" on the state col
leges and universities, along
with comparisons with other
states, will give Nebraskans
a "complete descriptive pic
ture of the situation, from
which they may do any
planning they choose."
Skiers Ho!
Trip Plans Begin
Tentative plans for this
year's University ski trip
have been announced by the
Student Union recreation
committee.
The trip will be held during
the semester break, and will
cost approximately $60 per
participant. Train fare is in
cluded in the cost.
Although the destination is
not definite, it will probably
be Winter Park, Colorado, It
is also possible that Kansas
State will participate with Ne
braska for a joint trip.
scholarship is about $200," he
added.
"We award 200 work
scholarships ranging from
$200 to $600 a year. Loans
were given to approximately
100 freshmen, with an average
value of about $300. Of course
we have no work scholarships
for upperclassmen."
Explaining the work
scholarships, Dr. Forrest
said, "We guarantee work
which will allow a student to
earn a certain amount of
money a year. It's more of
an insurance policy than a
gift."
"The average loan for up
perclassmen is $300," he con
tinued. "We make abeat 250
new loans a year."
"The deadline for applying
for scholarships is March 1,
1961 for upperclassmen, and
December 1, 1960, for entering ,
freshmen." . December 1 is
also the deadline for 2nd
semester student loan applica
tions. "Regents scholarships are
not automatically renewed
and students must apply,"
Dr. Forrest emphasized.
