Indian Students
Present Culture
University students from
India will present a cultural
orogram on Sunday at 8 p.m.
in the Student Union ballroom
depicting glimpses of culture
from India.
Celebrating the Baisakhi
festival, marking the end of
the harvest season, and the
Basant, marking the dawn of
spring, the students will per
form Yoga exercises, a Tabla

drums), folk dances from the
states of Punjab and Gujerat,
a dress parade, Qawali group
singing and devotional and
folk songs.
The two festivals are among
the most colorful and rejoice

Army ROTC Announce Course Revisions
their first semester. Sopho
mores will substitute during
the second semester of their
sophomore year. One-hour
drill Iabratory will be re
quired weekly during, the
two-year program. The reg
ular Air Science curriculum
will be taught for second
semester freshmen and
first-semester sophomores.
The Air Force program,
Colonel Hamilton points
out, "will lessen the work
load of an entering fresh
man at the time when he
is making a major and dif
ficult adjustment to college
life. Sophomores who decide
not to go into the advanced
course would be able to con
centrate on required aca
demic studies in the fourth
student views before the new
reorganization plan is pre
sented to the Council for ap
proval. Part I, sections 1 and 2
which establishes Student
Council representatives elect
ed from eight student living
districts was passed 11-6 on a
straw vote.
Part I, section three which
reads: "Each district shall be
represented by at least one
representative with additional
representatives alloted ac
cording to the number of votes
cast in the individual district
in the preceding general elec
tion. This allotment shall be
established so as to make the
total number of representa
tives, exclusive of noldover
representatives, approximate
ly 30," had seven students vot
ing for its approval and nine
against.
The question whether the
present system of College rep
resentation or the proposed
student living districts repre
sentation is the best method of
selecting membership provid
ed the debate for the evening.
The possibility of creating
student factions thereby cre
ating more student interest in
the Council (an element in na
tional politics which brings
rise to candidate platforms)
is an additional advantage of
the new system, according to
the committee headed by Bill
ConnelL
Students in attendance ques
tioned the advantages of the
Dlan over the present system
of representation. Some felt
the political faction would
only further the situation ot a
few students "running the
whole university."
Voting power for the gradu
ate students and the doing
away of activity representa
tion were both given approval
by the attending students. The
selection of hold-over mem
bers and the president and
vice president of the council
was given the nod of assen
tion with a minor revision.

Dr. William E. Hall, chair

Pledge Training Violations Debated
IFC Moves to Closed Session;
Panty Raid Scare
The Interfraternity Council
(IFC) moved into closed ex
ecutive session Wednesday
night following officer and
committee reports.
According to the Executive
Council, the reason for the
executive session was to con
sider several important mat
ters and to review situations
in a formulative discussion
effort.
President Don Ferguson
first read a letter from E. C.
Dewey, president of the IFC
Board of Control. The letter
stated in part, "It has come
to my attention that rumors
are going about the campus
relative to a spring 'Panty
raid.' This sort of activity
is definitely undesirable and
is generally fomented and
spearheaded by the more ir
responsible and juvenile stu
dents ... the several frater
nity houses on the campus
(should be warned) about
the danger of any of their
members participating in
such an activity."
The 1955 "panty raid" was
mentioned and it was indi
cated that the fraternity sys
tem received favorable light
at that time because it 'was
not overly involved as were
Lincoln high schools, Lincoln
Air Force Base personnel
and the dorms.
Proposed Plans
The several proposed Stu
dent Council reorganization
plans were discussed, and
two members of the IFC
voiced disapproval of one
such plan which appeared in
the Daily Nebraskan
Wednesday, April 5, as it
'would tend to lower Greek
representation and leader
ship available through the
same."

representee, in commenting
on the ideas connected with
representation of the Student
Council, stated, "The main
purpose of the new propos

Highlighting Greek Week this year will be the Greek
Games, which will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April
22 and will be the official end of Greek Week, according
to Phil Tracy, public relations chairman of the Inter
fraternity Council (IFC).
The games, jointly sponsored by the Junior IFC and
Panhellenic, will for the first time include both sorority
and fraternity participation. The events will be held on
the practice field, south of the stadium.
The featured events of the 1961 all-Greek day will in
clude a tag-of-war and a pyramid race for the men,
while the sororities will compete in an egg race and a
tricycle marathon. The events will be climaxed by the
traditional chariot race, held on the north practice field,
according to Sue Moffitt and Bob Siedel, Greek Week co
chairmen. '
All of the events will be scored on a 5-3-1 scale with
a trophy, donated by Senior Panhellenic and. IFC, being
awarded to the sorority and fraternity accumulating the
highest number of points. 1
I Donate Plaques
In addition, Junior Panhellenic and IFC have donated
plaques to be awarded the first place winner in each
event. The sequence of events will be as follows:
2:00-2:45 Tug-of-war for men and egg race for women
2:45-3:45 Pyramid race for men
3:45-4:45 Tricycle marathon for women
4:45-5:30 Chariot races
The tug-of-war will consist of ten men from each
house. To win, a team must pull a member of the oppos
ing team into the pit.
The six-man pyramid race will be a 50 yard race.
the Air Force cadet may
substitute any sophomore
course in mathematics,
physical or natural s c i
ences, foreign languages,
the humanities or social sci
ences. The Army program
allows substitution of any
freshman course during his
first year.
The revisions will affect
about 900 basic cadets in air
science and about 1000 in
military science.

to receive better opinion
from closer contact with stu
dents. The college represen
tation plan does not offer the
contact with students which
can obtain effective student
opinion.
"We've got to raise the
idea to a higher plane than
Greek exploitation," contin
tinued Ellerbusch. "It is of
ten recognized that the coun
cil is relatively ineffective.
And it's five-sixths Greek
so in effect, this criticism
points to Greek ineffective
ness. There is no need to be
selfish. The Greek system
can survive a lower ratio of
representation on the Stu
dent Council. What's impor
tant is to look for an im
proved council."
Ferguson urged the IFC to
attend the final reorganiza
tion committee meeting
Thursday night. He an
nounced that the Executive
Council had decided to sup
port the college representa
tion plan with an elimination
of activity representation.
Statement
Ferguson then read and
and elaborated on a state
ment dealing with the criter
ia which the IFC Executive
Council will follow in deal
ing with violations of the IFC
rules, regulations, and by
laws. The statment read:
"1. The Executive commit
tee shall receive any written
or verbal complaint against
any fraternity for infractions
of the constitution, by-laws
or rules.
"2. The Executive commit
tee will then take the follow
ing steps: ,
a. Investigate and review
the facts of the case with
the fraternity involved and
other sources as may be
necessary.
b. After examining the is
sues, the committee will take
such action as it may seem
necessary and in accordance

The Nebraskan
Irving Dilliard, former edi
tor of the editorial page of
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
was the speaker for the meet
ing. As an authority on the
U.S. Supreme Court, he spoke
on "Are We Undermining Our
Noted
with the Constitution of the
IFC.
c. All actions shall be re
ported immediately to the In
terfraternity Council as a
whole.
d. Appeals shall be in ac
cord with the Constitution
of the IFC."
Two reported violations of
the pledge training code
were announced by Fergu
son. The action of the IFC in
each instance was a severe
warning to each house in
volved. The first violation con
cernd a violation of the rule
confining pre-initiation activ
ities to the chapter house.
The fraternity involved re
portedly sent their pledge
class to a sorority house in
an effort to obtain the
"measurements" of the
young ladies on the house
roll.
Stopping Cars
The second violation, in
volved the same rule,
stemmed from an incident in
which the pledge class of the
fraternity concerned n as
stopping cars on a public
road.
As the action was found to
be a part of the ritual of the
national fraternity, Ferguson
asked for all houses to check
their existing ritual and by
laws against IFC regulations,
so that waivers can be
granted for conflicting legis
lation. In closing Ferguson com
mented on six main areas
which the IFC has concen
trated action during the past
two months.
He listed the revamped
committee system, an "ac
tivated" Greek Week, im
proved public relations, im
proved relations between
houses, the IFC office ex
expansion, and next summer
and fall's rush program as
areas in which considerable
progress and improvement
have been shown.

There will be three heats and the finals will consist of the
top pyramid in each heat.
No Support
Three men will carry two seated secondary men on
their shoulders and the last man will sit on the shoulders
. of the secondary men, wiih no support other than hands
allowed throughout the pyramid construction.
The traditional chariot race will consist of four fra
ternity men pulling, while the sorority girl of their choice
will compete in the finals.
The women's egg race will be run over a 150 yard
course and requires three runners from each sorority.
Eggs will be placed in the first runners mouth and in
each elbow with the arms crossed. She must transfer the
eggs to the second runner, who, likewise, transfers the ,
eggs to the third. A team will be eliminated for running
off the track, breaking another runner's eggs or breaking
all of their own eggs.
One contestant from each house will participate in the
.women's tricycle marathon, riding a tricycle forward 50
yards and then backwards 25 yards.
Participants
Miss Moffitt said, "It is the hope of the Greek Week
Committee that each house will include as many different
participants as possible in these events and contribute to
the support and spirit needed to supply a climax to the
Greek Week activities. We want the houses to keep in
mind that although the games provide a basis for com
petition, this must not undermine the basic purpose of
Greek Week enjoyment accomplished through the cooper
ation of all Greeks."

titles, won all but one event.
