Nebraska .will , need the
""equivalent of another uni

t the results of a recent sur
vey conducted by Dr. Ly
man A. Glenny of Sacra
mento, Calif.
Dr. Glenny, associate pro
fessor of political science at
Sacramento State College,
has been appointed by the
legislature to study the Ne
braska college situation.
He said that if the college
going trend continues at the
present rate of an 8 per
cent Increase per year,
there will be 15,605 students
by 1970.

Balance
Reorganization Plan
Presented
A proposed IFC reorgani
zation plan, devised by a spe
cial committee, was pre
sented Wednesday night. The
new plan, if passed, will fea
ture a balance of power be
tween the Board of Control
and the IFC in ironing out
future problems.
Committee member Bill
Connell presented the plan
and it was decided to take
final action on the plan next
week.
The need for a reorganlza
tion plan resulted from the
newly passed plan for a Ju
dicial Board and the pro
posed reorganization plan by
the Board of Control.
The new plan cuts down
the suggested power of the
Board of Control in their orig
inal plan and "creates a
circular flow of legislative
with balanced power," ac
cording to Connell.
Three Top Powen
The proposed plan will have
three top powers, the Policy
Steering Committee, the fc.x
ecutive Council and the Board
of Review.
The Board of Control will
have the power in the Policy
Steering Committee with
three board members; the
chairmen of the House Man'
agement and Political Com
mittees (undergraduates) and
a representative of student
affairs.
The IFC will have com
plete control in the Exec
Council using the present
system plus the addition of
one alum advisor.
The Board of Review will
be divided in power to handle
the three of four points of
contention between the two
groups, according to Con
nell. Three board members,
three undergraduates and one
non-partisan legal advisor
would compose this commit
tee. Six Others
Organized under these
three committees will be the
six IFC committees: social,
activities, political, scholar
ship, finance and house man
agement. The Board of Control will
have veto power in the social
and control in the finance
and house management com
mittees and the IFC will con
trol the political and scholar
ship committees.
The Social committee will
be made up of five under
graduates, two advisors and
one board member with veto
power.
Twelve students and one
board member having veto

Atlas Missile Systems To
Bj Doug McCartney
Atlas missile launching sys
tems to be placed in Ne
braska will be "foolproof,"
according to Air Force Col.
Vern Hastings.
He should know. His pres
ent job is the construction,
activation and check-out of
the Atlas bases being built
in the Omaha-Lincoln area.
The former University grad
uate spoke to the American
Society of Mechanical Engi
neers Wednesday about mis
sile development in Nebraska
and iis probable conse
quences.
Rumors that a missile
could be launched by a tem
porarily demented member
of the crew just aren't so
according to the C o 1 o nel.
While the actual firing of
the missile is done by one
button, fueling and preparing
it for flight takes the whole
crew.
Another problem that may
have bothered Nebraskans is
the booster rocket which
drops off In , flight. Hastings
said the sites of the bases
are located so the boosters
will land in unpopulated
areas.
"Besides," he smiled, "it's
a damn sight better to get
hit with four or five tons of
metal than with an H-bomb
This compares with a na
tional average of 48 per
cent which has dropped so
much that there are not
enough faculty members
with doctorate degrees to
keep up with the present
rate of college growth, Dr.
Glenny said.
One-Third
Some 34 per cent of the
faculty members at the
University hold masters de
grees, and about 7 per cent
hold baccalaureate de
grees. This compares with a 34.5
per cent total .throughout
the state who hold doctorate

John Hoerner later told The
Daily Nebraskan that he was
glad the Council went into
executive session because the
Rag might not have respon
sibly reported the proceed
ings of the meeting during
the time Kuklin was present
ing' his ideas.
Hoerner said he was orig
inally against executive ses
sion and advised Kuklin to
study his proposals further
coming from the other direc
tion." Silo -
The new bases are of the
"silo" type in which the mis
siles will be stored vertically
underground. The tops of the
bases will be flush with the
surface, and Hastings said
that an almost direct hit
would be needed to knock
them out of action.
This type, of base does
have construction problems,
however. For instance, the
high water table along the
Platte River has given the
builders trouble.
The officer pointed out that
nationally the missile pro
gram is quickly growing.
From an original group of
200 people, almost 200,000 are
now working on the program.
The missile project is "al
ready four times as expen
sive as developing the atomic
bomb," he said.
Blasting the c r i t i c s who
point out the failures of the
Atlas program, Hastings ex
plained the "concept of con
currency" under which the
missile is b e i n g developed.
This, he said, is a calculated
risk to speed its activation
time.

Dr. Glenny distributed
maps which indicate that
institutions of higher learn
ing raise the college-going
rate in the Immediate coun
ty where located, but have
little effect on the' rate in
adjacent counties.
For example, the percent
age of high school students

and present them at a later
date. However, Kuklin said
he wanted to present them
Wednesday, Hoerner added.
For this reason, Hoerner said
he was glad the Council did
meet in secret.
Proposals
Among Kuklin's proposals
were the following points as
the source gave them to The
Daily Nebraskan.
1. A proposal that the
tually tried. For example,
facilities for firing the 'Atlas
were ready almost a year
before a missile itself was
completed.
Many changes had to be
made once the test firing of
the Atlas was begun, he add
ed, but only three of 160
changes were significant
ones, although they increased
costs about ten per cent.
But, he concluded, as the
B-36 bomber took 1G years to
put in operation (it was
started in 1942), the Atlas
took only five (1955-59).
Using a model and slides,
the Colonel described in de
tail the missile and launch
ing pads. The Atlas is a
"stage and a half interconti
nental ballistic missile." Its
five engines are activated on
the ground and the booster
drops off after take-off.
RP1
The Atlas uses a liquid
fuel mixture of oxygen and
"RP1," otherwise known as
kerosene, which give it 36,
000 pounds of thrust.
The loaded weight of the
Atlas is 260,000 pounds of
which 90 per cent is fuel.
The length varies from 83 to
89 feet, depending on the
nose pod and body is ten
feet wide.
Above the fuel tanks the
averages of 17.15 per cent
in Seward County, 19.98 per
cent in Cass County and 23
per cent in Gage and Saun
ders Counties.
Rates Lower
Nebraska rates lower
than several surrounding
states and the country as a
whole in the ratio of per
centage enrolled in colleges
compared to the number of
college-age persons, Dr.
Glenny said.
"Even a liberal figure of
30 per cent, which includes
graduates and those going
out of state to school is low
er than the 35 per cent na

compulsory ROTC taking a
stand on the issue.
2. A proposal that the
Council discuss and investi
gate the drinking situation on
campus.
3. A proposal that the
Council pass a resolution tak
ing a stand on the possibili
ties of the quarter system at
the University.
4. A proposal that the
Council investigate and pass
a resolution taking a stand
on AWS hours. This would in
clude an examination of the
hours on other campuses and
the sampling' of opinion on
this campus.
5. A proposal that the
Council investigate and pass
a resolution taking a stand
on the possibility of a five

New Song
For Old NU
Alumni of 'he University
introduced a new song and
presented it to Chancellor
Clifford Hardin at a banquet
in Beatrice this week.
The song, with words and
music composed by William
V. Davis, Beatrice insurance
man, was termed catchy and
well accepted by the group.
Chancellor Hardin said that
of the several hundred Alum
ni dinners he had attended
that his was the first original
number about the University
that had been presented to
him. He said that it would
receive proper publicity.
The words are:

This statement prompted a
question from the audience.
Couldn't an enemy agent
with a 30-30 rifle shoot, holes
in the Atlas before it could
be launched. The Colonel
answered that it was physi
caly possible, but that since
we missile was raised above
ground only seconds before
it wa? launched, the agent
would have to know the ex
act time and place, and be
a good shot, too.
Locations
Answering another ques
tion if the Russians knew
where our bases are, he
grinned and replied that
since this is a democracy
anyone could buy plans of
the locations of the bases
for fifteen dollars.
But the big deterrent, he
added, was that the enemy
nad to get all our bases all
over the world at the same
time, and the impossibility
of this will make them think
twice. Our launching crews
will st ay in their bases, which
will be self-contained for over
teo days.
The exact time to prepare
and launch a missile is still
classified, said the Colonel,

Dr. Glenny pointed out
that only facts, in lieu of

Additional results of the
survey will be released "as

remainder of the year.
