Greek Grade Ranks Ready In One Week It will be at least one more week until the fraternity and sorority grade groupings are available a. - ording to sources from Administration, Mrs. Irma Laase, assistant registrar, explained it w a s usually about one month be tween the time students re ceived their grade transcripts before all corrections and groupings were completed. The corrections are largely due to mechanical errors, re moval of incompletes and grades which are changed by teachers she said. After all corrections are made, the 10,000 transcripts (this number includes evening courses and off campus classes) are retabulated as corrected. The grade reports are then arranged alphabeti cally. They are then grouped according to colleges, class rank, and organized houses. The organized house group ing must be further sudqi vided into men's and wom en's residences. When these tabulations are completed the groupings will be available for publication.

European Tour Costs Less, Lasts Longer This Year The University European summer tour, planned by the Student Union, will be ten days longer than last year's tour and somewhat cheaper, according to Sharon DeMars, chairman of the committee in charge of tour arrangements. The tour is open to stu dents from Nebraska, Kan sas State, Iowa State and Missouri. The travelers will leave Montreal, Canada, June 22 and will return, after a 62 day excursion, on August 22. The "Empress of England," a Canadian Steamship Com pany ship, will transport the group to and from Europe. A few of the special features of the ship include a swimming pool, movie theater, dance hall, restaurants and cock tail lounges. The boat trip will take seven days both ways. The tourists will visit eight countries including Scotland, Holland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France and England. The group will spend more time in the Scandinavian coun tries this year, according to Miss DeMars, because of the beauty of this region at this particular time of year. One of the highlights of the trip will be an overnight stay near Lake Geneva. The tour will also feature more free time than last year's tour. Half days will be allotted in Innsbruck and Heidelberg; one and one half days at Edinburgh, Amster dam, Lucerne and Montreux; and two and a half days in Rome, Paris and London. The total cost of the tour is $1,125 which is almost $100 cheaper than last year's tour. Of this amount $434 goes for Examinations Probe Cultural Backgrounds By Eleanor Billings The scholarship tests given this past Saturday and next Saturday will be used to help determine the winners of scholarships ' made available through the Division of Schol arships and Financial Aids. The scholarship examina tion is a general culture test given to find out how much the student has learned and to test his general back ground of knowledge. Scholarships are awarded on factors other than the exams. Rank in class at the end of the school year is also considered. Previously, straight grade points were considered, but because some colleges have higher grade point, averages than others this was thought an inadequate basis. Own Field It Is better to compare a student with people in h i s own field, according to Dr. Aubrey Forrest, director of Scholarships and Financial Aids. Information on stu dents' interests is also gath ered and considered in grant ing scholarships. The scholarship examina tion is prepared by the Edu cation Testing Service of I -yjv pill 'CLAP YOUR HANDS!' round trip steamship passage. The balance of the fee will pay for travel on the conti nent, hotel fees, meals at ho tels and when traveling as a group, sightseeing including admission fees required at some places, services of a European tour manager, handling of baggage if more than one large suitcase and an overnight case, and trans fers of baggage between ter minals and hotels. The cost of the tour does not include passport and visa fees, transportation to a n d from the departure and land ing port at Montreal, tips to stewards on the ship and to motorcoach drivers, optional tours, excessive baggage and personal expenses. Miss Mary Jane Mulvaney will serve as chaperone for the tour group. Any person who is inter ested in the tour should con tact the Union Program of fice immediately for further information.

Miss Kathryn Dean, assistant pro fessor of voice, is faculty ad viser. Princeton, N.J. It covers everything from mathematics to fine arts, Dr. Forrest said. The amount of the scholar ship will also be based on financial need, Dr. Forrest said. The only exception to this is the Regents scholar ships. Seventy-five Regents are given to each level of upperclass students, making a total of 225 each year. This year the grade point average required for applica tion was lowered from 6.0 to 5.0. "We felt we were pass ing up some good students and ought to give more stu- dents a chance to apply," Dr. Forrest said. Only Once Dr. Forrest stressed the fact that a student only has to take this examination once during college. Students who will be sen iors next year need not take the tests. It is felt that jun iors have already given a good indication of their abili ties through the record they have accumulated. Freshmen frequently mis understand the procedure Dr. Forrest commented. A student must have earned 24 hours University credit be fore he may receive a schol arship. t The Nebraskan The 20-piece orchestra will present a free concert in the Student Union ballroom be ginning at 8 p.m. Correction The Daily Nebraskan in advertently omitted Jeanne Morrison's name from the list of finalists for Miss E Week.

The youths, Roger Wait and Leon Nyberg, were ful filling an assignment for jour nalism 171, an advanced re porting class which empha sizes governmental writing. Sen. George Syas, chair man of the committee, re quested the ouster after con ferring with other members of the committee. Syas permitted a third journalism student, Nancy Whitford, to remain as a re porter for the Daily Nebras kan with the admonishment to abide by legislative rules for executive session. These rules provide the re porter who sits in on execu tive committee session to re- i port only the final vote on a bill or amendment to a bill which is being discussed. The reporter may not pub lish any discussion which pre cedes the final vote nor may he state how an individual senator voted unless that sen ator is willing to restate his position following the meet ing.

The proposal would in crease the number of mem bers from six to twelve and shorten terms from six to four years.
