Council Clarifies Registration System
To the editor: I
The Student Council wishes to clarify further the new
registration system which will go into effect with the
start of the coming semester. At this time, each sudent
should have received a letter from the office of the Regis-
trar giving information about the new system.
The class schedule has been changed considerably in
format for the second semester. It has been set up by
IBM equipment and then run off on a high speed off-set
press. The main purpose of this change is to eliminate
the errors which unaccountably creep in. g
With this new system, the section numbers will be
keyed directly to the clock hours. In order to eliminate
confusing classes taking place at a.m. or p.m., the new g
system will be the same as is used by the armed forces. f
It should be stressed that by next fall the registrar 1
should be able to check mechanically the cards which
are pulled by hand.
Prerequisites will no longer be found in the schedule
book. This means the catalogue of the respective colleges
will have to be used. Therefore students should use their
catalogues In planning the coming semester's classes.
One reason this is being done is to encourage students
to schedule courses in terms of an over-all plan to meet
graduation requirements. This fact should help eliminate
ver-loading schedules during the student's senior year 1
and thus will avoid having to take an extra semester to
graduate because of poor planning as an underclassman. r
Therefore it will be important that every student is fa-
miliar with his college catalogue. Wtih this new plan a I
more efficient system should result.
It will be important that all students turn in their
second semester registration work sheet between January
9, and 4:30 p.m. on January 13. 1
Dr. Hoover, registrar, has consulted with the Student
Council members throughout the year about the new I
system. The Council has studied the plan carefully and
feels it will be a great benefit to the student body. j

Inside View
Agrees With Else's Column
To the editor:
Hoorah for John Else! I am of the opinion that the
University of Nebraska provides ample opportunities for
the beauties to show their stuff. When selecting students
for positions as important as Student Council, let's elect
those who have a sincere desire to take intellectual and
prompt action on important matters.
Again, congratulations to Mr. Else on his Wednesday
column.

Editorial 'Makes Him Sick'
To the editor:
Your Dec. 6 editorial about conservatives and their
"illogical patriotism" made me sick!
This country was founded on conservative principles
and its only chance of survival is to remain true to those
principles. We have left them in the past, and our country
has suffered. Now it appears as if a very small majority
of Americans have forgotten those years. In four more
years they will remember again, but it will be too late.
How can you expect conservatives to sit idly by while
Mr. Kennedy undermines all in which we deeply believe?
I, for one, will fight Mr. Kennedy every step of the
way! I know I am not alone.

QUAERE
It is to be hoped that the IFC Board of Control will
take some action on the proposed reorganization some
time in the near future so that such action will have time
to take effect before the entire Greek system completes
its slow but sure collapse. -
The current manipulations certainly leave something
to be desired. There evidently has been no attempt to
work in conjunction with the IFC in the discussion of the
new form of the plan. If this Board of Control finally does
submit a report then presumably the IFC will have to
take some time to make its own amendments to the
amendments. Meanwhile the wall crumbles.
In face of the problems the IFC has we do not feel
that delay is good. In addition we feel that the entire
system should be allowed to discuss the various provi
sions fully. It is incongruous that a group which is work
ing for the good of the system does not want the system
to know what form of good it is proposing to do for
them. But, then, father knows best.
We do admire the group for the size of the job that
It has undertaken. It is certainly ambitious to try to
renovate the fraternity sysem by adopting a new method
of formal control.
We don't wish to discourage this group of worthies,
but we would like to suggest that the best constitution in
the world is not going to work until the members want It
to. To stay on this campus the system must give its mem
bers more for their money in the form of tangible and in
tangible benefits, make clear its superiority over the in
habitants of the dorms, etc., permit its members to feel
that they are truly related to the IFC and allow some
method of choosing the alleged leaders of this group to be
adopted that does not depend on sheer -and obvious politi
cal corruption and nep otic control.
Certain simple facts of life should now be obvious to
fraternity men. 1. Beer drinking and rule breaking are
not any real contribution to anything but Lincoln mer
chants and courts. 2. Development of fraternal loyalty at
the price of good grades is like waxing a car while driv
ing it to a wreck. 3. No amount of stunts and Greek days
will substitute for leadership and daily worth. 4. At
tempts must be made immediately to give some meaning
to the eystem and the members thereof that is based on
lasting values and not superficial reorganization.

Never mind all the mick-
ey mouse and the mysti-
cism today. The SATYR is-
going to write it straight
for a change. Thus if you
wish to be entertained or
1 jollied you'll have to read
Boroff.'
1 Let's stop playing the
little games in IFC, Dr.
s Schultz. If you know what's
I going on, then why not act
I like it. This beating around
mystic bushes gets a bit
1 childish. I'm not only strik-
ing out at devoted Dr.
i Schultz, who is a fine per
I son and probably above
even caring one way or
I the other about TNE and
assorted parlor games) but
I at the Administration, the
1 national fraternities, and
house presidents.
So the Board of Control
; wants to know whether
: TNE exists or not. This is
; the most ridiculous thing
i I've heard yet. Signed
statements filed with Ad
I ministration officials lends
credence in a big way,
i wouldn't you say? Dr. S.
; implied Wednesday night
i that action by the IFC
i should be taken in the
! near future. Something
like this would border on
I the edge of hysterical com
I edy.
Yessir, I'd want to move
i that election of the new
: slate up a month or so,
! too, boys. The quicker one
I gets out of the sickroom,
I the less chance of coming
I down with the mumps,
huh?
The whole situation Is
: not only ludicrous but a
! little bit pathetic. If the
Administration can make
definite stands on trivial
problems concerning drink
ing and propose a positive
solution to the mess, why
i should TNE stump them?
! Why let the matter hang
! indefinitely undecided?
The Kansas State Board
of Regents took the follow
i ing action,
"That the Kansas
state institutions of
higher learning shall
have the authority to
expel any student found
to be a member of TNE
or any similar organ
ization not recognized
and approved by that
institution."
The Regents have asked
that this action be made
known to permit students,
now members of TNE to
disassociate. Reasona b 1 e
steps have been taken to
inform fraternity officials
of the action. Thus, if any
member is found to be
affiliated, he will be ex
pelled. The Nebraska Regents
and the Administration
operated under this pro
gram as I now understand
it. But where does that
leave it. The wheels are
bogged by two little mud
holes. First, if the student
belonging to a subrosa re
fuses to admit affiliation,
no action may be taken. He
is safe as long as he keeps
his mouth shut. Second,
something unexpected and
out of the ordinary must
occur in order to appre
hend the villain with
enough proof to hang him.
The Satyr
So here we sit on trem
bling hands watching the
Administration and the T's.
play a glorified game of
cops and robbers. Mean
i while, back at the ranch,
the IFC continues to be
ineffective and inactive.
Point of tale: Why not
be adult about the thing
and handle the problem
quickly, quietly and effi
ciently. The Dean of Stu
dent Affairs and the Chan
cellor (if necessary) should
be able to put a stop to
this nonsense. The T's, who
are still left in the ranks,
are not only capable men
but fairly intelligent. Why
don't they show themselves
to be the leaders they pre
tend to be and stop all
this before national frater
nity officers step in? Per
haps, they will not be so
willing to fogive and for
get. Back to the cave for a
while, my children. The
crusades were over in 1400
anyhow. Guess the SATYR
will put down the cross.
It gets a bit cumbersome
when gamboling upon the
green pursuing fair young
things.

This week and next week,
six Academy Award win
ning performances appear
on the evening movie sched
ules of our local television
stations. Earlier this week,
Jane Wyman's non-speaking
role in "Johnny Belin
da" and Bing Crosby's and
Barry Fitzgerald's priest'
roles in "Going My Way"
were on the 'one-eyed mon
ster.' Coming up are Spencer
Tracy's two winning per
formances, for "Captains
Courageous" and "Boys
Town," and my summer co
player Joan Fontaine's
award performance in Al
fred Hitchcock's "Suspi
cion" . . .
On Wednesday evening I
attended a spirited and
colorful production of Rod
gars and Hammerstein's
"Carousel" at the Enid Mil
ler Theatre on the Nebras
ka Wesleyan University
campus. Adapted from Fer
enc Molnar's play "Ldlliom,"
"Carousel" provides Carol
Greer Forrest, as Carrie,
and Carol Jean Turek, as
Nettie, with both impres
sive singing and acting per
formances. Dick Hall, as Billy, and
Mary Kluver, as Julie, are
competent entertainers. The
biggest disappointment is
Sandra Heupel as Louise,
Billy and Julie's daughter.
Her ballet, so impressive in
most stage versions and
certainly in the film, is
poorly coreographed, as
are all the dances.
The bright settings and
costumes, plus all the fam
iliar Rodgers and Hammer
stein music, provide an eve
ning of fun and enjoyment.
If the Military Ball does not
dominate your weekend,
you may enjoy our neigh
bor college's popular musi
cal offering, "Carousel" . . .
On "Wild Strawberries,"
I stand corrected on the
following points: Borg does
possess a 'God-like aloof
ness'; he is an egoist. The
dreams do reveal Borg's
'lack of human qualities,'
and are not, as I did not
previously write, 'merely
nice little memories which
pleased an old man.' Borg's
final dream may be Berg
man's pictorial of charac
ter since the 'pulled into
coffin'- bit clues physical
death as 'soon' and 'inevit
able.' However, all cast Bsts,
reviews and articles I have
since read substantiate my
previous thought that the
'examiner' and the 'dis
agreeable husband' are per
formed by the same actor.
The charge in the examin
ation for medical qualifica
tion is 'incompetency,' al
though Borg may feel
'guilt.' As any student or
analyser of dramatic struc
ture should know, a 'theme'
is expressed in a complete
sentence. What I stated was
merely a general idea.
Directories Still
Available in Union
Student directories may
still be claimed and picked
up in the Student Union
booth Friday, Monday and
Tuesday, according to
Jeanie Morrison sales chair
man of Builders.
Sales and claiming were to
stop Friday but several stu
dents were unable to get
their directories due to late
arrival of the dire;;- ies
from the printer, Miss Mor
rison said.
'Overgrown Combo
For Jazz Session
Jazz and Java is back in
the Crib again this Friday af
ternoon at 4 p.m. with an

Richard's Orchestra.
The band consists of 11
pieces played by students

leyan campuses.
