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.

--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

Phi Gamma Delta won first place in the
Men's I division Homecoming Displays
with "Thumb Down, Mizzou." 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."

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.

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.
