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

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.
Music Fraternity
Elects; Pledges 8
Theta Chapter of Delta
Omicron, international music
fraternity, has elected new
officers and pledged eight
new members.
Officers are Lois Anderson,
president; Katherine 0 1 1 e n
burg, first vice president;
Carolyn Bristol, second vice
president; Carolyn Weiss,
secretary; Sharon Binfield,
treasurer and Nancy Watton,
director of musical activities.
New pledges include Mar

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

From Session
Two Unversity journalism
students were asked to leave
an executive session of the
legislature s education com
mittee Monday because they
did not represent a bonafide
newspaper."
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

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

Juniors to Compete
Four University law stu

University Moot Court com

at the State Capitol.
Samuel Van Pelt of Lincoln
and Ronald Sluyter of Omaha

the scene of an automobile
accident.

Regent Bill Shows
Little Opposition'
Senator Marvin Lauten
schlager of Grand Island said
he has seen "little opposition"
to LB278, a bill authorizing a
constitutional amendment to
increase the Board of Regents
and reduce the length of their
terms.
The proposal would in
crease the number of mem
bers from six to twelve and
shorten terms from six to four
years.
This would "make it pos
sible for the board to divide
Into specialized subcommit
tees" which Lautenschlager
feels would be more respon
sive to the needs of the state.
