but had at least made some
effort to comply with them.
The 40 organizations on the
list have not met any of the
requirements.
Gage urged that the groups
get busy immediately in order
that they do not lose their con

Activity Rep
On Council
Criticized
The Student Council heard
the first report Wednesday
from the representation com
mittee, which is holding a
series of open meetings con
cerning Council membership
representation.
The topic of discussion of
the first open meeting was
activity representation.
Bill ConneH, chairman of
the committee, reported that
Ik had been the general con
temns of those in attendance
at the meeting that campus
activity representation is not
effective and should be re
vised. Four reasons were cited for
fcia conclusion:
i. The limited number of
eligible people in some
organization precludes
effective representation.
. The limited number of
issues that directly con
cern specific activities
does not merit voting rep
resentation. t. The double, triple and
quadruple representation
of individuals through
their colleges, living
units and activities is un
common. L Activity representation
is generally over repre
sented when compared
with other types of rep
resentation.
The committee report ac
knowledged the fact that ac
tivity representation may be
an effective communication
channel but that this alone
did not merit voting repre
sentation. Connell said it was the in
tention of the committee to
present a motion requesting
the Judicial Committee to
draft nn amendment or
amendments embodying the
proposals ot tne committee
after the series of open meet
ings on representation had
been completed.

building Thursday afternoon.
The fire was quickly
brought under control by the
Lincoln Fire Department
which was called by tech
nicians in the building short
ly after smoke was first
noticed.
Fire department officials
at the scene said that two
workmen who were welding
air conditioning pipes in the
ceiling ignited some of the
nearby insulation.
According to Dr. George

men of veterinary science,
the damage was probably not
extensive, but that a true

A recent graduate of the University, a
polio victim confined to a wheel chair
since 1955, is now in business for himself
and successful at it.
Robert AHington, who graduated from
the University with a masters degree in
electrical engineering in February, is a
partner of the Instrumentation Specialities
Company.
The 25-year old inventor, son of a Uni
versity professor of plant pathology (Dr.
William Allington), now puts in a full eight
hour day in his business and "likes it real
well."
His job, in the company's creation of
scientific and lab equipment, is the design
ing of the new equipment.
New Building
Allington and his partner, Jacob
Schafer, have recently moved their cor
poration to a new building at 5624 Seward
in south Havelock. Before, they had used
"my garage and my partner's basement,"
reported Allington.
The job now keeps four people busy and
the new building serves as a combination
of a lab, shop and office, he noted.
He explained, "We develop new equip
ment and have some equipment that we
stock and sell."
After his polio attack five years ago
Allington returned to Nebraska to finish
out his senior year and graduate college.

State 4-II Gives
Gifts to Governor
University 4-H Club Presi
dent, Marshall Ruhr, and
some 25 Nebraska 4-H'ers
made an unprecedented spe
cial report to Gov. Frank Mor
rison and the people of Ne
braska at the statehouse
Thursday.
Representing the 22,817 club
members in the state, Kuhr
presented the Governor with a
gold paper weight and a bound
volume of the history of the
club in every county in the
state.
At the presentation, Kuhr
said that the development of
better citizens is the most
significent achievement of the
4-H program since the begin
ning nearly 60 years ogo.
On hand for the occasion,
which was in connection with
4-H Club Week, March 4-11,
were Val Kuska who was one
of the first members of the
original club at York and
W. H. Brokow who was one of
the organizers for this first
club in 1903.
Gov. Morrison accepted the
presentations on behalf of the
people of the state "with
thanks and grateful apprecia
tiona for the fine work the
clubs have done, are doing
and will continue to do
throughout Nebraska."
Grades Story: Success
Ag College Assembly
Features Meteorologist
Industry
Depends
Upon NU
The route to further expan
sion of industries in Nebras
ka and a better holding pow
er of University graduates
within the state lies in the
success of a meteorological
training program in the Uni
versity curriculum.
This is the thought of Wil
liam Corville, associate pro
fessor of agronomy on the
Agriculture campus, who is
working with the all-Ag cam
pus convocation scheduled for
Monday morning on meteor
ology. According to Corville there
is a vegetable program which
may be initiated in the near
future within the state if cer-'
tain questions can be answer-!
ed concerning Nebraska's cli
mate. He said there may also be
other agricultural programs
that may be grown in the
state if these questions can
be answered. The result would
be an increase in the indus
tries through these crops.
Such studies of the climate
would take several trained
graduates. At the present
time Nebraska does not have
a meteorological or climatol
ogy field of study to produce
these type of experts.
The proposed University
budget for the next two years
submitted to the state legis
lature for approval includes
provisions for such a
program, according to Cor
ville. The possibility of an In
crease of industry within the
state "made the University
realize we must do something
along this line," he noted.
One purpose of the convoca
tion Monday featuring Dr.
Wayne Decker, associate pro
fessor of Climatology at the
University of Missouri, is to
"show students there is a
field of that has a real re
muneration," Corville said.
"We don't have enough stu
dents now to fill the positions
open in meteorology. There is
a great possibility hers be
cause we have barely
scratched the surface," Cor
ville said.
Equally important in
launching a new field of study
is the student interest. Cor
ville noted the general atti
tude of Nebraska students
seems to be "tremendous."
Morrison Favors
Hightcay Access
Gov. Frank Morrison has
given his stamp of approval
to the interstate highway ac
cess route favored by the Uni
versity. Morrison said he intended to
"go along with the recommen
dations of the State Highway
Advisory Commission" which
has selected Scheme E from
a number of other proposals.
A secretary in the electrical engineering
office described his recovery from total
paralysis as, "Through spunk and deter
mination he now uses his hands and
arms."
Top Student
Last year Allington was selected as the
top electrical engineering student in the
country by the American Institute of
Electrical Engineering.
The award, which Allington received in
New York City, was made on the basis of
his description of aa electronic telemeter- -ing
device in an article submitted in the
institute's annual competition.
He developed his device, designed to
measure the pressure of a cow's stomach,
in a basement workshop.
Technical Writer
He also won first place honors for the
best technical article in an engineering
college magazine, awarded by the Na
tional Engineering College Magazine Asso
ciation. Other Allington achievements include a
chemical faction collector, a relatively
new method of separating and measuring
chemicals; and a windspeed telemetering
system for the University.
WTiile at the University he maintained a
seven-point average and was a member of
three honoraries, Sigma Xi, Sigma Tau
and Eta Kappa Nu.
A "visiting scientist in meteorology" win be presented
Monday morning to ag campus students in the form of a all
ag college convocation at 11 a.m.
Dr. Wayne Decker, associate professor of Climatology at
the University of Missouri, will appear at the convocation in
conjunction with a national program conducted by the Ameri
can Meteorological Society and the National Foundation. The

Lincoln Development
Urges Expansion
The University's R St. boun
dary may be no more should
current plans for downtown
Lincoln development become
a reality.
Downtown Development of
Lincoln, Inc. has urged that
the area fronting on Q St. be
tween 10th and 18th Sts. be
considered for University ex
pansion. Chancellor Clifford Hardin
said his general reaction to
the plan is favorable although
the University has not yet
made a thorough study of the
proposal.
Possible developments of
University and University re
lated functions in this area
could serve to integrate the
campus more closely with the
city of Lincoln.
Especially promising devel
opments, according to city-
county planning director
Douglas Brogden ,are:
Additional campus related
retail stores for such items as
clothing and books;
Student religious centers;
Cultural facilities of inter
est both to campus and city
groups;
More parking space; !
New classrooms and of
fices. "Official city action could
come only in the form of con
demnation action should Urb
an Renewal become a reality.
The major decisions rest with
the University which must de
cide whether or not to buy
the land," said Brogden .
The move southward would
be accompanied by the clos
ing of R and 14th Sts. from
arterial traffic-to use as cam
pus access routes.
"As a result traffic from
the northern section of Lin
coln would be deflected to by
pass the University on either
the east or west," Brogden
noted.
At present the University al
readys owns so me property
and facilities in the proposed
development area.
These include a parking lot
at 12th and Q, property along
the south side of R St. and
University related facilities
between 10th and 17th St.
The University expansion
plan is a portion of a total
program for downtown Lin
coln development which has
been presented to the City
County Planning Commission
for consideration.
Board of Regents
To Meet Tuesday
The University Board of
Regents will hold their reg
ular meeting March 14 at
9 a.m. in 308 Administration,
The Board will appoint
recipients of the Woods Foun
dation Faculty Fellowships
for the next school year: ap-
Drove appointments of addi
tional summer school fac

the graduate faculty ana ac
cept four resignations sub-
! mitted during the past month,
University committee on at
mospheric science is respon
sible for Dr. Decker's ap
pearance at the ag college.
His talk will be based oa
three topics: "definition of
scientific meteorology." "The
development of meteorology,
and "careers in meteorology ,
according to William L. Co
ville, assistant professor of
Agronomy on the Agricultur
al campus.
The modern concept of
meteorology, according to Co
ville, started in 1920 in Nor
way and advanced during
World War II in the United
States and has had "an in
creasing impact in the scien
tific field ever since." He
noted that Decker's talk will
cover this area of meteorology.
Careers
Decker's third topic of
his speech, "careers in me
teorology," will be of special
interest to the college stu
dents, Corville noted.
The quality of the present
American meteorologists is
one of being "over aged and
under qualified," Corville
said. He added that most
meteorologists are over 45 and
there is "a great need for
young people in the meteorol
ogy field."
Study Fields
Some of the fields of study
include work with the energy
balance, circulation of atmos
phere and weather control
plus new ideas concerning
space and weather, according
to Corville.
Following the 11 a.m. con
vocation in 306 Ag HalL Dr.
Decker will speak to the ag
riculture staff at 2 p.m. All
students are invited to hear
him speak on the "Role of
meteorology and climate in re
search projects at the agri
culture extension stations."
Decker's second talk will
illustrate how meteorology
works with other field? of re
search inherit to Nebraska,
according to Corville.
"Students other than those
in agriculture are invited to
attend the convocation or the
talk in view of the recent sci
entific development in space
and weather research, Cor
ville said.
