UNIVERSITY OF NEBRI LIBRARY Twice, Health Inspector Coming Soon InspectioVfadiihe forty three organized houses on campus by the division of environmental health and safety is scheduled to begin Nov. 7, according to W. W. Simpson, public health en gineer. The inspection, which is an annual affair each fall and again in the spring, is concerned with appraising the houses compliance with the University's Housing Code. The Code, which was adopted by the Board of Regents in 1958, states that every house must supply the basic physical health needs, the basic mental health needs, protection against contagious disease and protection against ac cidents. Each of the 43 houses have been notified by letter as to the time and day that the one-man inspection team will arrive at the respective houses. "So they scrub the floor twice that day," said Simp son. "I am not looking for however, Simpson goes from basement to attic, and inspects for fire and acci dent hazards as well as food and sanitation. The" inspection is sched , uled for completion on Nov. 16 and the division's re ports on the findings and, recommendations Of the in spections will be filed and copies sent to the house president, alumni advisor and to the Division of Stu dent Affairs of the houses. "Absolute compliance with the Code is scheduled to be in effect by 1965," the health engineer said. "The efforts of the inspec tion team have received ex cellent cooperation from the houses," said Simpson. "In our. recommendations to the houses we try to show a reason for the suggested corrections so that it is mors educational than man datory." Fire Law Compliance An expected recomenda tion this fall will be the compliance of all houses to the Nebraska fire law that all stairways be enclosed, according to Simpson. Later on this year the di vision hopes to go to each house and take swab sam ples ,of eating utensils. These swabs will be brought back to . the lab where bacteria counts will be made. "This swabbing will show whether the houses dish washers are doing a satis factory job of washing and sterilizing," he said. Simpson comprises the one man staff of the Envir onmental Health Service which is one of the few such services in uni versities in this part of the country. Simpson said that this program is an asset to the maintnance of the Uni versity's health and safety standards. the daily dirt but the ac- cumlative dirt that is over looked in the daily scrub bing and clean - up ses sions." Fall Inspection The fall inspection is con cerned with only the food and sanitation aspects of each house. In the spring, hi SSMFfc the --Student Council . . Earlier School Date Survey Proposed The Student Council will soon take a student survey to find if the students want school to start a week earlier next year. The Council decided to use such a poll after a council committee met with the Fa culty Senate Calendar Com mittee and found that in ord er to promote such a change a more detailed report must be made by the council. Basic Objection. The sub-committee gave five basic objections to set up the opening date of school next year. 1. The high school academ ic year in the oast has over lapped with the summer school opening week, and therefore caused many stu- Shriner9 s Act At Pershing Wednesday Herb Shriner, the television performer who table hopped at the Student Union this morning, will present his show, "Pops Americana" Wednesday at 8 p.m. in Pershing Auditorium. The show will include everything from ballads to modern" Broadway musical scores. Shriner will head the show with anecdotes and folk lores. He will also sing folk songs and play his harmon ica. Students may buy reserved seat tickets for $2.50 at Persh ing Auditorium but may save $1 by purchasing them for $1 50 at the main desk in the Union. Shriner has become popular around the college circuit and has been asked to appear a second time at the University of Texas. Texas University said that they wanted to give Austinites and students a sec ond chance to hear what many considered some of the season's best entertainment.

Second was Thcta Xi's "Skin 'Em" and third was Alpha Gamma Rho's "Huskers Still on dents to miss the first week of summer school. Because of this, summer school has been moved back one week. 2. The faculty does not want the one week lapse before the summer session starts. 3. Thirteen hundred regular University students attend summer school and should there be a week's lapse before it started, they would all be forced to find housing, or have the added expense of going homeland then returning. 4. The building maintenance men would have one week in which to do nothing. 5. The repairing of the build ings could not be completed in time, if there was a time lapse at the beginning of the summer and one at the end of summer. It should be more united. Form Committee The sub-committee further suggested that the council form a committee to study the validity of setting the start ing time for - school up one week. Members of the sub committee said they felt this project should take at least, six months, according to the council calendar committee. President Tempero told the members that the Coun cil "didn't have time" to pre sent a detailed case to the faculty. He asked that the council "get on the ball and present suggestions to the faculty senate." He added that the council is still "in a position to do something." George Mover called the faculty senate's answer to 'he Calendar committee "the most patented example of stalling I have ever seen.' He added that their five rea sons for not setting the open ing date of school up a week were "frightening." "I think it is a challenge to' the Student Council and we should either put up or shut up," Don Epp said. John Hoemer backed the proposed survey because, he said, such a poll is "absolute ly vital," and the council should represent the people who want school started earli er "regardless of the number of students." . - - , . .

Vol. 74 Nov 25 AUF Five charities, international, national and local, have been selected by the student poll to be supported by the 1960 AH-University Fund. The charities and the per centage of funds to go to each as decided by the AUF Board, are: Lancaster Association for Retarded Children, 15; Nebraska Orthopedic Hos 'PR -Center9 Tentatively Planned Information Given, At Union Booth Tentative plans are under way to establish a University activities information center which would be "public rela tions clearing center for the entire campus. Nola Obermire, member of the Union advisory board, has indicated the center would be similar to the hostess desk at Colorado State Uni versity. The booth would provide data on ail campus activities and conventions, provide a clearing house for rides home and possibly, even sell tickets for student events, Miss Obermire said. Registration of activities at the booth Would be voluntary rather than mandatory ac cording to the present plans, she said, as the project functions such as the admin istration activities office. The center would probably be located in the Student Un ion as the Union is open more'hours than the Admin istration Building, Bill Mc Klnon, Union Activities Di rector pointed out. The project would probably be tried out under a volun tary staffing basis but would require full-time professional staffing once it bad gained acceptance. "However, administration officials have indicated they are definitely interested and no one has voiced any oppo sition to the plan as yet," he said. t . ' . ' ?v . ....

Page 3. Vandalism Committed At Stadium Nebraska's Memorial Sta dium was broken into Friday night by. persons carrying paint buckets and brushes, Athletic Director Bill Orwig said. The brush-wielding persons painted "Beat Mizzou" on the edge of the East balcony and on the sidewalk leading to the fieldhouse. The goalposts were also painted with the North goalpost painted in Nebras ka's colors and the south goalpost painted in Missouri's colors. "We don't mind the goal post painting too much, but it will cost $300 dollars to re move the paint from the bal cony," orwig said. The paint will have to be re moved by sand blasting, ac cording to Orwig. "We appreciate the spirit, but when it goes this far, it becomes vandalism and we don't need that," Orwig said. The campus police are in vestigating the incident. The big weekend is over! The Queen is crowned, Peter Palmer has come and gone and the displays are down.
