Panicing student organ-
izations confronted the Di -
vision of Student Affairs
Tuesday as they were try
ing to comply to the re
quirements for good stand
ing as outlined by the Stu
dent Council.
The biggest problem
seemed to come from the
fact that the organizations
did not know if they were
complying with require
ment number 1: "To be in
good standing the organiza
tion must have an approved
copy of their constitution
on file at the Division of
Student Affairs."
"If we have a copy of
their constitutions, the Stu
dent Council does too,"
Mrs. Ermal Collister, sec
retary to Dean Frank Hall
gren said of the inquiring
organizations.

'Operation Bootstrap9
Cutback of Fmids
Reduces Enrollment
By Nancy Whit ford
"Operation Bootstrap" and
cutbacks in military funds for
education have contributed to
a decrease of nearly 200 stu
dents in evening courses at
the University.
These figures, released by
acting supervisor of evening
courses. Edor Ellingson, in-1
elude 573 full-time campus
students, and 695 students -st-
large enrolled in the program.
"Some K3 campus students
and 825 students-at large
were enrolled last semester,
for a total then of 1,457 as
compared to 1,288 this year,"
Ellingson said.
Ellingson attributed the de
crease in student-at-large en
rollment to the military pro
gram of "Operation Boot
strap" which permits service
personnel to earn credit for
a degree in general eduea
tion in connection with their I
military service.
This program is being spon-

Tri Belts, Kappcts
Tied for Trophy
Delta Delta Delta won the
spirit contest at the Missouri
game Saturday, putting them
ia a tie for first place'' with
-KF uuu. a
These two bouse have each
won the t r o p h y twice. The
sorority which has received
the award the most this year
will keep the trophy after tbe
Oklahoma State game.
The Tri Delts used balloons,
"Go Big Red," and a new
song they wrote to win the
contest last Saturday.
Tbe organized bouses re
ceiving nonoraDle mention
were Kappa Kappa Gamma,
Delta Gamma. Alpha Chi j Guide from the Builders
Omea, and Phi Kappa PsLltours committee will explain
ganized'that she "automat
jcally" sends a copy of the
constitution to the Student
Council office."
"I don't know what has
happened. I'm sure it isn't
the Student Council's fault.
We just got our wires
crossed and we aren't hit
ting somewhere," she said.
Confusion
An example was a rep
resentative of a student or
ganization who -was sure
that her organization was
in bad standing but the files
at Student Affairs did not
bear this out. She was hav
ing trouble finding the cor
rect forms needed. When
told she should go to the
council office, she replied,
"I have, but t h e y are
busy."
"How some of these or
ganizations got in bad
standing, I don't know. It
is something we'll have to
decrease in student-at-large
enrollment nas been the cut
back in federal money for ed
ucation of airforce person
nel." Ellingson pointed out
This year airmen may tike
only one college credit course
to which the federal govern-
ment wiu contribute partial
payment of expenses. In past
vears toe government contrib-
uiea 10 payment oi more
than one course, Ellingson ex
plained.
"However, the enrollment
of campus students in eve
ning courses fluctuates for no
apparent reason from year to
year," he said.
The selection of courses to
be offered in the evening de
pends mainly on student in
terest and requests.
"Therefore, a number of
courses which had been
planned were dropped this
vear because fewer than 10
students registered," Elhng

"2ft!) Ipvi
'200 level math course for
engineers provides the only
major 'new' course this
year," Ellingson pointed out.
"All other courses offered
have been given in the eve
ning sometime before."
Ellingson observed that the
chief differences were in
method of faculty payment
and time of day.
"Teachers are paid on the
overload basis from tuition
funds rather than from Uni
versity money. Other than
this the courses are exactly
