Midwestern College Compact to Give Mutual Aid By Margy Martin Nebraska is o n e of 10 midwestern universi ties that have established a compact for the purpose of helping each member insti tution strengthen its teach ing and research programs and increase its operating efficiency. Chancellor Hardin said: "We are hopeful that this association will make it pos sible to have some joint programs which otherwise would not be possible. The possibilities are the joint use of expensive and highly specialized laboratories and personnel. And we are ex ploring the feasibility of the exchange of students in specialized curricula which may be available on only a part of the campuses." The University is one of the leaders in the program. Dr. John C. Weaver, grad uate dean of the University, is chairman of the execu tive committee which drafted the Articles of Agreement. The other universities, in addition to the University of Nebraska, are: Kansas, Kansas State, Colorado, Colorado State, Iowa, Iowa State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma, State, and Missouri. According to Dean Weaver, plans for the inter university cooperative asso schools, have been under study for the past two years. As stated in the Articles of Agreement, the major consideraticns leading to the establishment of the Asso ciation are: "The increased costs of higher, education in all its perly conduct research pro grams; "The competition with other segments of society for competent staff mem bers; "The explosive increase in student enrollment." The four main purposes of the Association are: To promote the im provement of specialized fa cilities and programs at several institutions and to prevent wasteful duplication in order that each univer sity may achieve a h i g h degree of excellence in all of its programs. To make the specialized ' or unique educational pro grams of these universities available at resident fee levels to students on re gional basis. To promote cooperative use of unusual research fa cilities among member uni versities. To cooperate wherever possible in providing a uni fied voice in bringing ma jor research and educa tional facilities and pro grams to the region. Dean Weaver said in fit ture meetings it is boned that specific program can be outlined. ciation, which was recently phases, including the ever- establish ptoStjpisaSR $f3T)saS)PCfcBnncreasing requirements for by represent h e expensive equipment to pro R 10 1961 Jr Ia aa, MAIM MM 53 Groups in Jeopardy Council Revokes, Defers Charters By Ann Mover Thirty-two University organizations have lost their con stitutions and 21 other groups have been placed on suspension until April 19 for failure to comply with the Student Council requirements for good standing status. The first action against the 32 organizaions which lost their constitution was taken on March 8. At that time, the groups were given 30 days in which to comply with the Coun cil requirements. They were warned that they would lose their constitutions if they failed to do so. Now, m order to gain reinstatement, the organizations must follow the same procedure as that required of a new campus organization. The authority for the action stems from the Council con stitution which states: (Art. Ill, Sec 1, b-) powers of the Student Council include the power "to recognize and ap prove the constitutions of any new student organization, without which recognition and approval an organization shall not be permitted to function and sec. c-"To review the con stitution of any organization with power of revocation." H the organizations placed on probation until April 19 fail to complete the good standing requirements by then, they will lose their constitutions, also, John Hoerner, chairman of the judiciary committee, ex plained to Council members that, according to University policy, any student who is member of any group unap proved by the University is subject to disenrollment at the discretion of the Dean of Stu dent Affairs, He said this ruling would possibly apply to members of those groups which have lost their constitutions. Groups losing their constitu tions include: Alpha BpsUon Khs A6rtli .

Youth Corps Project A reversal in the United States Youth Corps project caUed the "Experiment in International Living" has brought an Italian youth to study and observe at the University. Carlo Ramadoro of Rome, Italy, is the first person to come to the state under the international exchange program. The 24-year-old Italian is here mainly to observe the operation of the CoUege of Ag riculture's Tractor Laboratory. Td heard of the University of Nebraska tractor testing laboratory back in Italy and now I have the wonderful opportunity to see and work with it first hand," said Ramadoro. Heard About Lab , He explained that he heard about the lab oratory from two of his friends who were brought to the United States several years ago to test tractors for the Fiat Company. Ramadoro, who lives with the L. F Lar sen family in Lincoln, spends most of his spare time at the testing laboratory. Mr. Larsen is the engineer-in-charge of the tractor laboratory's faculties. When not at the tractor laboratory, which is on Ag Campus, Ramadoro is attending three classes at the University: English, speech and farm motors. But be is looking forward to June when he wiU spend most of his time In the testing laboratory. His participation in the international living program and his stay in the United States is being sponsored by the Fiat Co., where he has worked for the past six years.

The transition has been ap proved with the following stip ulations: AH freshmen women are to be contacted in some.way during the summer. AWS will assume respon sibility of All Women's Night during New Student Week, which has previously been a style show. Two Coed Counselors who have previously been on the Coed Counselor Board will work as advisers to AWS dur ing the school year 1961-62 as ex-officio members of the AWS Board. .

Susan Stanley, president of Coed Counselors said the or ganization has been faced with a constant need for re organization during the past five to seven years. She said the counseling dut ies could be bandied, more efficiently through AWS be cause of the extensive Junior Division orientation program and the growth of sorority and dorm counseling pro grams. Earlier, the Independent Women's Association had ex pressed a desire to help coun sel women who would not be Yell Prospects Close Sessions The last practice session for those interested in being cheerleaders will be held at 4 p.m. Tuesday.

I Student Council Terms Photo-ID's 'Not Feasible' The possibility of student' identification cards carrying a photograph of the student has been tabbed "not feasible" by the Student Council social committee which had been in vestigating the matter. The possibility of the use of photo ID's was brought be for the Council several weeks ago and referred to the social committee headed by Mike Milroy. Milroy reported that the committee based its decision on facts collected from the Administration re garding cost and necessity of such a system and informa tion gathered from local bus inessmen and Unive:sity per sonel. Milroy said the University Administration and Regis trar's offcie did not feel such a system was feasible or nec essary. At one time, photo ID4s were used at the Uni versity but they had bees abandoned because 1) the cost of the identification sys tem was prohibitive, I) then some people with a knowledge of English, since many of their products are exported to Australia and Canada," he explained. Knowing just a few words of English, Ra madoro has been in the United Slates since the first of February. "I took French in school," be said, "but I had some friends in a film factory that let me watch English movies before they were translated into Italian. I have also learned English from some American jazz and sing ing records at home," be said. The small, solidly built youth, always ready with a smile, says he thoroughly likes to wear blue jeans and has already formed many impressions of the people of the state. National Problems The farms are very mechanical here com pared to those in Italy, he observed. Rama oro feels that the farmers are much more in terested in national problems than they are in his country. Many of the farmers, the youth said, wiU buy a tractor or other piece of machinery in sort of a co-operative. Five of them may buy it together and then work out times for its use. Other observations about Nebraska? The people are very friendly and want to know about other people. And the classes at the University are fine by Carlo because "you get to practice in the classes." In Italy, classes are mostly leetures with very iew laboratories. Monday, April 10, 1961 The schedule of sectional meetings open to the public: Asgknswiagy. Burnett Ball Boom Bit. 1:30 p.m. Friday.

GAUME was increasing student re sistance to the photographs and much displeasure with the quality of the pictures, 2) there was increasing stu dent objection to the incon venience of reporting to be photographed and to retrieve the completed ID, 4) too few departments were profiting from the program to justify the loss of students' time as well as that of others involved in the process and cost, and 5) it was felt there were too few dishonest students to war rant the use of photos on stu dent ID cards. Milroy pointed out that a photo ID system would not prevent the procurement of liquor by University students because all retail liquor es tablishment were supposed to follow definite procedures for determining the age of a cus tomer which did not include the inspection of University ID cards. Another area of investiga tion by the committee, con cerning passing ID's for Uni versity events such as foot ball games, showed that this problem has been reduced to the point that Administration feels it is almost nonexistent. - Five major downtown Lin coln firms, who do a great deal of business with Univer sity students, reported that they had very little trouble with checks received from students. Therefore, the com mittee concluded from these reports, that photo ID's would have little value as a preven tive of passing bad checks since few were passed. The use of a photo ID in connection with punishment for misconduct was found to have ne value as the idea of stamping the type of punish ment for misconduct on the student's ID card has been abandoned in favor of other possible ideas. ' It was further reported that the present student identifica tion cards provide excellent means of positive ldeniuica tion. In most cases driver' licenses and selective service cards are usually requested first. A University ID card is generally accepted if the other cards are not available.
