CI 1 UiV k DEAN HALLGREN By KAREN GUNLICKS Nebraskan Staff Writer Policies on standards are being em phasized by the two Associate Deans of Student Affairs. "A big part of our education is hav ing cultivated manners and standards of refinement," stated Miss Helen A. Sny der, dean of women. "If students do not learn standards here, then they will have difficulty in their later business and social lives be cause college graduates are expected to nave attained certain standards in their dress, manners and social graces," ex plained Frank M. Hallgren, dean of men. Students should develop a discrimina tory judgment of standards, for so many situations and acts are not necessarily wrong, but are in poor taste. They must learn when and where certain actions are done or not done, continued Miss Snyder. She explained that some students fail to realize their responsibilities in certain areas and underestimate the impact of some of the decisions they make. The standard of fun should be more at the college level. A standard of excellence should be created so that the individual should want to do what is a good thing to do. Standard Rules "Our rules on standards are as much educational as they are rules," concluded Hallgren. The Deans' combined policy on drinking is illustrated in three points: 1. The University expects all students to obey the laws of the state which pro hibit the possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages by all who are under twenty-one years of age and prohibits the consumption of these beverages by all persons on public highways, roads and state property. 2. The University expects an students to obey the University regulations which prohibit the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages at all events spon sored by any University organization or group. 3. The University does not interfere DEAN SNYDER with the legal possession or consumption . of alcoholic beverages by students so long as legal consumption and possession is not at an event sponsored by a University organization or group and the possession or consumption does not result in conduct beyond the limits of propriety and good taste. "These laws are enforced by the po lice agencies," said Hallgren. "This office takes action only on the basis of report, whether it be by the agencies, by chap erones or by citizens," he continued. "We have no policy of snooping," re lated Miss Snyder. "The rules are for the protection of the students and the University." "We entrust the officers of an or ganization with the responsibility of its parties, not the chaperones," she said. "I feel very strongly that students should respect their responsibility to obey the state laws, since they cannot choose which laws to obey. As soon as the Greeks realize this, they can defend their system better," she added. IFC Control As a member of the IFC Board of Control, Hallgren explained that IFC is free to exercise and control all internal affairs of the fraternity system as long as they are in accordance with the rules set forth by the Faculty Senate Subcom mittee on Student Organizations, of which he is chairman. The fraternities may be more restrictive, but not less restric tive than this committee. In relation to Panhellenic and A.W.S., Miss Snyder said that she feels the elect ed representatives of these organizations have assumed a great responsibility and exercise good judgment. Sometimes though, she said, the members at large let their leaders down by failing to sup port them. Miss Snyder received her BA degree from Lawrence College in Appleton, Wis consin and her MA degree from North western University. Hallgren received bis AB and MA degrees from the University and bis IA (Industrial Administrator) and MBA (Bachelor of Business Administra tion) from Harvard University. Student Health Reports Number of Flu Cases Not Increasing at NU Despite numerous rumors of organized houses being sick with the flu or colds, Dr. S. I. Fuenning, medical director of Student Health, re ported yesterday, "We are not aware of any marked in crease." He explained that there have been the usual number of upper respiratory infec tions, but that there had been nothing out of the ordinary. However, he added that they are always on the look out for any flu cases. In regards to the U.S. Pub- Sigma Nirs Will Donate Pints of Blood Sigma Nu fraternity has announced that it will donate 19 pints of blood to aid a stricken patient in Colorado as its first community service project of the year, accord ing to Vice-President Bill Buckley. The nearly Vk gallons of blood will replace that used by Mrs. C. E. Mason, mother-in-law of Mrs. Genette Mason who is currently the professional secretary of IFC. Buckley, chairman of the campaign, commented, "We are proud to be able to help Mrs. Mason. She is certainly a credit to the Greek system at the University and we are happy to assist her in any way." Mrs. Mason requires one pint of blood each day. With the amount given by the Sig ma Nu's and that donated in a radio campaign in Colora do, a sufficient quantity will be available. lie Health Service prediction of a wave of influenza of the Asiatic variety, Dr. Fuenning said that it will be nation wide and there is no reason why Nebraska should have any higher incidence. Noth ing has been stated about Ne braska in particular, he ad ded, although the incidence of influenza usually goes up. Dr. Fuenning stressed that students should be encour aged to get flu shots as they have in previous years.

L A y ) Small Group Hears Priest Redemptorist Says Amazons Are Enslaved in Communism By KAREN GUNLICKS Nebraskan Staff Writer Only sixteen students and five adults turned out yesterday to hear Father Thomas P. Morrissey describe the in roads of Communism in the Amazon. The ideas of Communism are atheis tic, he began. Freedom of religion and education are prohibited; families are split up so that the children can be trained in military schools beginning at the age of three, and the mothers can work. Over one million people have been enslaved in Communism in the past 40 years, emphasized Father Morrissey. "This is more men and women than have heard of Christ. Five children are being taught communism for every one child who is being taught Christianity." Americans have acquired four basic ideas which have resulted in their ap pathetic attitude toward the war against Communism, he pointed out. They are: Christian Nations 1. America is exempt from defeat because she is a Christian nation. How ever, he said, most of the nations that have been taken over by Communism in recent years were Christian nations. 2. America is unconquerable because she has never been defeated. People must realize though, he continued, that we are at war now. 3. Americans believe that their gov ernment and way of life is best so the Communists will inevitably realize it and convert. Students and other Americans just don't realize the devotion and loyal ty of the Communist party members, Father Morrissey related. 4. Americans think that all Commu nist takeovers have been on the other 6ide of the world. But, he pointed out, Cuba is our next door neighbor. Com munists have already broken up families and built up the military there. Anti-American Ideas In the Amazon, along the northern border of Brazil, students are spreading anti-American ideas to the people of this area, he explained. This has been very effective because 85 of these people are illiterate. The communists find out what the people want, then promise it to them. The priests are the only stronghold that the free world has in the Amazon region, he said. No one else is spreading the idea of democracy and anti-communism there. The Communists' plan for 1962 is to take over all the foreign priests, then all of the Brazilian priests. They have employed 24 girls in one town alone to seduce the priests, he said. "If the Communists win in South America, they will have taken a giant step in the Western World," commented Father Morrissey, "and if they conquer Brazil, then all Americans there (Bra zil's only contact with the free world) will have to flee." "Therefore, we must initiate an ef fective educational system in BraziL Once the people learn what Communism actually is, they can defeat it." Boat Communication Their only form of communication in the Amazon region is by boat. However, Father Morrissey is trying to raise mon ey for a radio station, which if why he i6 now in the United States. Through the radio, the priests could educate the people since there are not enough priests to cover the whole territory. So far he has raised $1,050 for the $10,000 project. If each village had a transitor, the station could become a stronghold for de mocracy in the north, he said. "If the southern part of Brazil, where there is more population and less being done by the free world, fell to the Communists, the northern region, if educated in dem ocratic ideas, could hold out. The illiter ate people have not had a chance to know the importance of opposing the communists. The communists have giv en them the idea that there is no reason for them to become educated since the party will answer all their problems," he related. "The radio station may be a small step in our combat, but a little is better than nothing," Father Morrissey said. "Communism is at our doorstep, he warned. "All must sacrifice in order to promote the ideas that we are grate ful for and want to keep." Father Morrissey, a graduate of Oma ha Holy Name, has served as a mission ary priest in Brazil for eight years.
