make decisions on farm po

cisions into action programs
through the political process
of our democratic govern
ment," Pr, Frolik said.
Community Leaders
The local meeting wll be

Consequence Appraisal
"All citizens and especially

with which to appraise the
consequences of the various
policies and problems which
will be considered as possible
solutions to the farmers' eco
nomic problems," Dr. Frolik
emphasized.
"Families on farms and in
rurci towns of Nebraska face
the necessity for making bas
ic decisions in adjusting to
the forces operating in the na
tional economy and the un
ique environmental conditions
in Nebraska and other Great
Plains .states," continued Dr.
Frolik.
''Many young people must
look outside agriculture for
occupations. Families in
towns dependent upon farm
trade are looking to larger
cities for alternative occupa

rural communities will need

Prof. Paul Schach, one of

an invitation to study at the
Arna-Magnean Institute in

Dr. Schach, professor of
Germanic languages and lit

ing conditions in 1961 and the
years ahead," Dr. Frolik
pointed out.
"In the decade ahead,
American agriculture will
face serious problems of ex
cess productive capacity, var
iability of income on co.nmer
cial farms and chronic low in
comes on small farms. The
maladjustments are caused
by:
Technological progress in
agricultural production;
Changes in foreign mar
kets for U.S. farm products;
Growth in the per capita
income and shifts in domestic
demands for food and other
products ;
Lags and imperfections in
the distribution of resources
among different uses in
a growing economy.""
"Wheat farmers of the
Great Plains are especially
vulnerable from an income
standpoint if tighter produc

prevent further accumulation
of wheat carry .over stocks.
"Nebraska farmers are al
so directly involved in the
feed-grain-livestock build-up
problem which is soon to be
as serious as the wheat prob

Council
Announces
Standings
Fourteen Groups
Meet Requirements
Fourteen additional student
organizations were announced
as being in good standing by
Steve Gage of the Student
Council activities committee.
"These organizations have
just met the good standing re
quirements or were omitted
in past reports," Gage said.
Gage said he did not know
how many organizations are
still in bad standing but those
who are, are 1cing deprived
of Student Union facilities In
cooperation with the Student
Union.
He added that organizations
failing to meet good standing
requirements also have their
funds frozen which are in the
Student Activities fund in co-1
ooperation with the Student
Activities office.
A new master list has been
completed by Gage and is
available in the Student Coun
cil office where any organ
ization may check with the
Council to find any deficien
cies it might have preventing
good standing.
Gage also reported that
lists of organizations in good
standing may be found in the
Council office, the Student
Union Activities office, the
Division of Student Affairs
and the Student Activities
funds office.

Eggs Fly at Berkeley;

Activity was booming on
other campuses during the
past week as a variety of
events occured from egg
throwing to unfavorable rat
ing of a trimester to disor
derly conduct.
At Berkeley, Calif., the
Daily Californian reported
that eggs flew at National
Students Association repre
sentatives as they headed for
a conference on UnAmerican
activities.
Hit Marks
One of the eggs reportedly
hit the coat of one of the rep
resentatives while others hit
the mark and ruined several
petitions which would have
been brought up at the meeting-
The culprits made a clean
get-away, the Daily Californ
ian said.
At Iowa University, the stu
dent paper reported that a
proposal to hold classes the
year round, thus having a tri
mester, was given an unfa
vorable rating by the Iowa
Board of Regents.
Those that favored the year
round schedule argued that
students could get their de
gree in three years rather
than four years.

PhiDelta Phi Law Frat
Is 65 Years Old Today
By Robert Lingo
Lincoln chapter of Phi Del
ta Phi, national law fraterni
ty, which is celebrating its
65th anniversary today, has
grown from 12 charter mem
bers in 1895 to a present ac
tive membership ai 75, over
half the enrollment of the law
college.
William Jennings Bryan,
Nebraska senator and three
I time candidate for the Presi
dency, was one of the endors
ers of the petition for a char
ter for the Nebraska chapter.
Other endorsers of the peti
tion for the fraternity, char
tered . on July 4, 1895, f onr
years after the law depart
ment was established, includ
ed former University Chan
cello Canfield, Nebraska gov
ernor Holcomb and several
judges of the state.
In its 65 years f existence
Phi Delta Phi has iniated over
1000 members. Phi Delta Phi,
of the three law fraternities
on campus, is the only one
that has been continuous
since its founding. For many
years (up until World War
H) the chapter maintained a
house here. Herbert BrowneXL,
former Attorney-General, is
an alum of the Lincoln Chap
ter. Different from the national
fraternity and the other law
fraternities on campus, who
initiate their members the
first .year of law school, Lin
coln Chapter initiates their
members the beginning of
their second year.
Better Placement
Last year the chapter in
vestigated the possibility of a
better placement service to
find jobs as practicing law
yers for the seniors. They
recommended that a picture
and biography of each gradu
ating senior be published in
a national law magazine.
President of the Lincoln
Chapter is Sam Jensen.
Treasurer is Sam Van Pelt,
secretary, Bob McCalla, and
historian Duane Hubbard.
The national fraternity was
founded at the Law School of
the University of Michigan in
1869 by John Haward. Ha
ward graduated from Mon
mouth College, III., at t h e
head of his class and entered
Michigan's Law School. He
was a member of Phi Gam
ma Delta fraternity and was
commissioned to organize a
Phi Gamma chapter at Ann
Arbor. Not finding enough
material he gave up the idea
and began discussing the idea
of a national fraternity com
posed exclusively of law stu
dents and lawyers.
Such an organization waB
formed and because they sup
posed a law Jraternity was in
existence in the east, they
sent letters to many eastern
law schools trying to join it.

When they discovered no such
organization existed, they
founded Phi Delta Phi on
Dec 13, 1895, as the first
professional legal fraternity
in America.
Since then the fraternity
has ,grown to completely dom
inate and lead the law fra
ternities. "There are now 78
chapters, named after dis
tinguished jurists, statesmen,
and lawyers, in the United
States and Canada. Among
their distinquished alums are
William Howard Taft,
Charles Evans Hughes, F. D.
Roosevelt, Thomas Dewey,
Estes Kefauver, and John
Foster Dulles.
