ment.
Glcnny Report
"The Glenny report to the
Legislature showed that
some 70-per cent of the
state's college-age youth are
not attending a college or
university," Dr. Hoiberg
said. "It Is to these young
people and ones like them
throughout the Midwest that
the Hall's program is
aimed."
The first Institute will be
held October 30-December 22
next year. Dr. Hoiberg said
that some 40 boys and girls
are expected to attend the
60-day Institute.

the University's plans for
continuing the education of
the adults and young persons

AUF Nets
$787 Sum
From Drive
The All University Fund
(AUF) received 200 replies
totaling $787 for the Spring
Faculty Drive which consist
ed of -contacting 800 Univer
sity faculty members.
The emphasis of the drive
was on personal contact with
the faculty. The interviewers
explained the goals, methods
and purposes of the All Uni
versity Fund (AUF), and an
swered faculty questions and
criticisms.
Peter Leppman, exectuive
secretary of the World Uni
versity S e r v i ce, addressed
members of the AUF
Board, citing the purposes of
the campus AUF chest as:
Raising funds for organiza
tions that are worthwhile and
of definite interest.
Being educational to be suc
cessfulboth In classrooms
and in extra-curricular activ-
Ul
lues.
Affording an opportunity for
students to learn the tech
niques of money raising.
Leppman cautioned that the
charities selected should be
of wide campus interest. He
added that a great problem
concerns the extent to which
contributors are emotionally
and spiritually involved in the
group.

Cornlmsker
Price to $6
The price of the 1962 Corn
huskers has been raised to $6.
Publications Board voted
unanimously to raise the cost
of the Cornhusker, because of
the increased quality and in
creased cost of printing, ac
cording to Anne Sowles, 1962
Cornhusker editor.
The Cornhusker currently
costs $11 per book to print,
which means that 45 per cent
of the cost of each book is
paid through advertising and
organizational space, rather
than each student paying the
total $11.
The staff feels that In order
to continue producing the Ail
American quality which has
been published in the past two
years, the raise in price is
necessary and justified, she
said.

Sigma Phi Epsilon Probation Lifted;
Emblem Replaced at Midnight Stroke
By Ann Moyer
At midnight last night the
campus regained a fraternity
as the Sigma Phi Epsilon crew
once again placed their fra
ternity emblem above the door
at 601 North 16th and offi
cially returned to their place
on fraternity row.
At the hour of midnight, the
charter suspension of the Sig
Ep fraternity was lifted ac
cording to Dean J. P. Colbert
of Student Affairs. The return
of the chapter charter was
effected by the unanimous con
sent of the the University
Board of Regents.
The Regents agreement to
return the charter, which
was suspended by them in Oc
tober, 1960, for violation of
probationary status, was re
ceived by means of a special
telephone poll concerning the
matter. The action ot return
ing the charter was recom
mended by both the interfra
ternity Board of Control and
the Committee on Student At
tain. Dean Colbert said the Re
gents were required to offi
cially ratify their decision at
the next Regents meeting
scheduled, for June 10 but the
action would simply verify
their telephone poll decision
Colbert 'Happy'
Colbert remarked that he
was quite happy for the boys
as "they have worked hard
,and have been very coopera
Attention Campus Drivers: Paving At Last
By Dick Stuckey
Carl Donaldson, University business manager, stat
ed yesterday that plans are underway for the paving of
the north half of the Selleck parking lot. '
"We are presently getting information ready for a
formal presentation to the Board of Regents," said Don
aldson, "and we are proceeding on a positive thinking
basis.1'
The Board of Regents gave approval to (he paving
of the south end of Selleck lot late last July. Earlier
approval of the present plans would finish the con
struction approximately the first of next school year
In mid-September.
"We are more sure now than we were a year ago
about the south half," said Donaldson. "We've got our
fingers crossed though."
Present plans do not call for the installation of
parking meters, but do allow for future installation.
The pedestals will be constructetd one foot wider
than those in the south lot, and will enable later park
ing meter installation if called by for the Regents.
Donaldson's plans include landscaping similar to
that of the last summer south lot construction. Shrub
bery will be planted which will be in full growth in
three years.
"The old stump will have to go," reminded Donald
son. He referred to the summit placed cottonwood re
maining in the middle of the north lot. "We probably
ought to work up some ceremony for It, I suppose," he
added. "However, it will provide two additional park
ing spaces."
The north parking lot is presently graveled, but
the winter months and the wet spring have combined
to produce a rough surface on the lot. Prior to the
paving of the south lot, conditions were quite similar
in that lot.
Landscaping of the south lot, including sodding and
planting of shrubs was continued this year. With the
paving and landscaping of both lots, parking spaces
decrease, while campus perfection increases.

dealing with their situation.
The return of the charter
will allow the Sig Ep's to elect
officers for the coming school
year and initiate six pledges
who were eligible prior to the
charter suspension. In addi
tion the Sig Eps may partic

paration for the next school
year.
The fraternity will still re
main on social probation until
September, Dean Colbert
said. He explained that the
house could not be used for
social -functions prior to June
12 anyway because it w a
leased to the men's dorm until
that date.

ternity have formed an Alum
Advisory Council on the rec

chapter include Ivan Grupe,
president; Lloyd Wade, vice
