By Cindy Bellows
A total amount of equip
ment valued in excess of $450
has been stolen from the Ne
braska Student Union this
year.
Managing director of the
Nebraska Union, A. H. Ben
nett, says in regard to this
thieft, "It is assumed that
college students, as adults,
are aware of the moral obli
gations involved being
good citizens." i
However, he continued, re
cent illicit activity of this
campus denies any such
awareness on the part 4 its
students. Five male freshmen
have been called before the
Student Tribunal by the Dean
of Student Affairs this week.
They participated in theft" of
Union equipment whose value
alone nears grand larceny,
Bennett said.
These students were aDore
hended by Campus Police in
two different instances, and
made to return the stolen
items. Three of the men stole
a chair, and the other two an
urn for cigarette disposal.
This climaxes a rash of
similar occurrances which re
suit in the total loss of $450
worth of equipment Bennett
explained. However, the oth
er items have not been re
covered as yet. Specifically,
they are: two lamps from
241. a table lamo. a Tloor
lamp, a chair, and a loveseat
ail from the R St. entrance
to the Union.
Such abuse goes beyond the
point of playing "pranks" he
said, legally, it is termed
grand larceny. If such action
continues, civil . authorities
will be prevailed upon and
miscreants dealt with in ac
cordance with the civil law.
As Managing Director of
the Union, Bennett says, "We
feel obligated to enforce
necessary discipline to insure
that those who are good citi
zens of this campus can en
joy the benefits that have
been provided for their use,
mainly the equipment In this
building."
Moreover, thefts have not
been restricted to the Student
Union, other campus units
have experienced much of the
same trouble. The most r.
cent example is the theft of a
snrumcen head from the Uni
versity Museum.
Constant surveillance of
equipment for student use on
an aauu couege campus
should not be necessary Ben
nett said. However, campus
police will continue close
watch on Student Union
equipment until this problem
is resolved.
Bennett said all University
students should feel responsi
ble for the return of these
stolen 'articles if aware of
their presence anywhere on
campus.

Dr. Hvde said his techninue
will allow transmission of in
formation on heat, light or
sound rays, similar to the
present method of sendin? In
formation on radio rays.
. He explained that informa

picked up by a receiver some
100 miles away, this same

in making use of sound en

After he had solved Dr.
Gallup's problem, Dr. Hyde
saw that the same technique,
slightly revised, could be
used for communications. He
got his idea for the system

that time, he and graduate

Coed Finds University Stops for Tea, Biscuits
By Sue Hovik
Hour exams? Mid-terms? Semester finals?
Students at the University of Durham at Newcastle-upon-Tyne
in northern England do not have these tests to
worry about, reports Marilyn Pickett.
Miss Pickett, a 1960 graduate of the University, spent
last year studying at the school of art at that university.
She explained that they have exams at the end of the year
only.
Miss Pickett spent a year in graduate work at Dur
ham on a Rotary Foundation Fellowship. She studied in
the fields of textile printing, pottery and stain glass. The
textile printing is a hand process which is still used by
some of the textile industries in England.
Miss Pickett said that' she was most impressed with
the university systems in England. Most of the students
are on grants from the surrounding English counties.
These grants pay for food, housing, and tuition. Many stu
dents live on these grants completely. There are a few
exceptions when the students , receive bigger grants. She
said that these students in the university go through
interviews and exams and the very select few who enter
the university are of a very high quality.
Proficient
Miss Pickett explained that students have to be pro
ficient in four or five subjects before they go to the uni
versity. Only the upper 20 of the school children at the
age of eleven go to grammar school, she said.
The English students seem to have a derogatory atti
tude towards the American educational system. They feel
that the idea is quantity not quality, she said. ,
The University of Durham is based on three terms.
Miss Pickett explained that if a student wants to be a
teacher of a certain subject, he goes to the university for
three years, graduates and with a degree in that subject.
He then returns to the school for a year in order to receive
his diploma in education.
The art department is on a different system explained
Miss Pickett. The teachers are there, but are working on
. . re ... ... .
uieir own projects, n you want neip, you go una tnem.
Students are expected to check in at 9:30 in the morning
and leave about 4:30 in the afternoon. They can take one
or two hours for lunch. The student is on his own, she
said, but this system works because the students are in
very competitive positions.
Art School
Miss Pickett was in the school of design within the
art school. The other two schools were the school of paint
ing and the school of sculpture.
The university started in October, no Thanksgiving
vacation, and a month for Christmas. Miss Pickett said
that Oxford and Cambridge got five and a half weeks for
Christmas and a month at Easter.
Miss Pickett found that the students were very in
tellectual and well read. They didn't have many activities,
but she was impressed by their athletic skill. A tennis
court came with the dormitory and the university had a
very good rowing team.
The English students were very curious people and al
ways asked questions said Miss Pickett. . They were quite
interested in the election, and she found that most of
them favored Kennedy. The students were also amazed
by American cheerleaders, though they thought they were
absurd.
Heating Systems
Englishmen were interested in the central heating
systems of the United States. Many of the homes there are
still heated by fireplaces. Students had never seen pop
corn so Miss Pickett explained that she got a can which
had been imported from Iowa in a Newcastle store.
She said that the way of living there is not such a
rush as it is in the United States. Almost every department
at the university took a forty -five minute break at 3:30
every day for tea and biscuits. She explained that biscuits
over there are what she would call cookies in the United
States and candy is known as chocolates or sweets.
Most of the students live in "digs" which are little
apartments. They have one room and a fireplace. Very
few of the students have cars, she noted.
Miss Pickett found that the English girls are very
conservative and domestic. They sew, knit, and cook
well.
Common Names
The common English girls', names are Ursula, Fiana,
Peggy, Rosemary, and Joyce. Ian is a favorite boy's name
with John and David also rating high.
The girls wear either slacks or heels to school. The
only place you see bobby socks is on the tennis courts,
she said. '
TV shows have Huckleberry Hound and Maverickr
but also some good intellectual shows said Miss Pickett.
The plays which run for an hour and a half do not have
any commercials breaking into them. One of the two main
stations does not have any commercials and it is financed
by licenses which are sold to the buyers of TV's and radios.
In the summer English students sign up for camp-outs
at the Union. Miss Pickett explained that physical educa
tion groups would go to the Lake district, make their own
canoes, live in tents, and do their own cooking.
In England there are many small, individually owned
shops said Miss Pickett. In Newcastle, which is a ship
building area, there is a place called Quayside. Here they
have auctions and little shops that sell everything from
candied eels to fur coats.
Miss Pickett said that the food was really cheap at
the Union. For 45-cents, you could buy a complete meal.
She said that they had some "fun Pubs" where you
could play darts, drink beer or cider, or eat. She said
that they also drank beer at a bar in the basement of the
Union. , -
Miss Pickett is now enrolled in the advanced profes
sional division of Teachers college. She Is also house
mother at Nebraska Center which is serving as tem
porary housing for the overflow of women students.
