Colonization at NU
By WENDY ROGERS
National sorority Alpha Del
ia Pi, the oldest secret so
ciety in the world for col
oge women, is "seriously in
crested in colonizing at the
' 'niversity of Nebraska," ac
.ording to the group's grand
president, Miss Maxine Blake.
Miss Blake from Seattle,
Wash., and her traveling sec
retary Linda Hill, from the
University of California ar
rived in Lincoln Monday
: light, and are spending sev
eral days looking over the
University and formulating an
inpression of the Greek sys
em and its relationship with
;ne University as a whole.
Their goal is to see if the
potentiality in starting an
ther group at NU is justi
iied. The main concerns of the
"rand president will be trans

SpeakEasy
Is Subject
Of Senate
A verbal conflict over the
tudent literary humor mag
azine "SpeakEasy" . erupted
in the Faculty Senate meet
ing yesterday afternoon.
Chairman of the English
Department James Miller
questioned why the Student
Publications Committee had
:upported the "SpeakEasy"
vhen "Scrip," a literary mag
azine, was no longer sup
ported. Robert Cranford, chairman
of the Publications Commit
iee, explained that there was
no subsidy for the humor mag
azine, and that the students
had sold advertising and made
printing committments before
seeking Pub Board approval.
Pub Board, he continued,
felt that they couldn't turn
down the students after they
iiad made the committments.
Another faculty member
then commented that if
that" is all that is neces
sary to get Pub Board ap
proval, anyone who wanted to
publish should folow the same
procedure.
Dr. William E. Hall, direc
tor of the School of Journal
ism, said it was hoped that
this humor magazine "Speak
Easy" would be a combina
tion of serious literature and
humor.
Dr. Cranford also noted
that the special supplement
published in conjunction with
the Daily Nebraskan every
spring is intended to fill in
in the absence of "Scrip" for
!i'ious literary efforts.

Dr. Campbell Says Seat Belts
Could Lessen Yearly Mishaps
Dr. Horace E. Campbell
M.D., one of the nation's
most determined advocates
of seat belt and shoulder
straps in cars, told a num
ber of University students
this week that 100,000 per
manent disabilities could
be avoided in traffic acci
dents each year.
"If all cars were proper
ly equipped with the belts
and straps, and if they were
all used, 35 per cept of the
lives lost in auto accidents
could be saved," he said.

used as card rooms," said
Hallgren. "There will be one
card room on each floor."
Hallgren termed the Capi
tol Hotel, which was built aft
er the Cornhusker, as "safe
and modern." The size of the
rooms vary but are generally
longer and not as wide as
those of Selleck.
Students who would find
the Hotel desirable because
of the location of their classes
will be offered the first op
portunity for these accommo
dations. Opinion on -Hotel
Meetings with such students
are planned for tonight
at 9:30 and Thursday night at
7.
"We are trying to get the
opinion of the students as far
as the hotel is concenred,"
said Donaldson, "to find out
how they would like to have
things arranged."
Students living in the hitel
will have meals in Selleck
Quad though they will have
the option of not eating break
fact at Selleck with a reduc
tion in rates. Such students
will be regarded as members
of the Quad and will be free
to participate in all of its ac
tivities and use its facilities.
Room rates in the Capitol
Hotel will be somewhat less
than those at Selleck.
"Women in the 8000 block
of the Quad will eat at the
Selleck dining hall," said Hel
en Snyder, dean of women.

A TTniversitv student. Mar

coln General Hospital follow
ing an accident which oc
curred when the motor
scooter he and a companion
were riding collided with a
semi-trailer trucK.
Yaw and his companion,
Michael P. Hughes, of Venan
an were iniured at 22nd and
P St. yesterday afternoon. The
motor scooter was pinneu
under the front of the truck
and they were thrown sixty
feet from the point of im
pact. Hughes was also listed
in fairly satisfactory condi
tion. somethine like a brick
wall, or when the stopping
distance is only two inches.
"The person weighs 180
Gs, that is 180 times h i s
normal weight," the physi
cian said. "His chances of
living are almost negli-
gible."
If the occupants wore
seat and shoulder straps
under the same conditions
they would weigh only 15
Gs upon impact, he said,
well within the tolerance of
the human body.
Dr. Campbell said he
highly favors proper laws
requiring cars to be equip
ped with the safety devices.
"Only Wisconsin and
New York have or are now
certain of such legislation,"
he said. ,
