Fatality on Campus
Seventy Foot Fall
Kills Tower Laborer
By KAREN GUNLICKS
Nebraskan Staff Writer
A laborer on the Twin Towers died yesterday after
falling approximately 70 feet from the east side of the
south section of the building.
The accident occurred at 9:30 a.m.
William Manning, age 22, 3240 No. 48, whose home is in
Bessemer, Ala., landed on his back and bounced about
six feet after hitting the ground, according to Joe Whit
latch who observed the fall.
Manning was in the process of stripping forms on
the top level at the time he fell, E. H. Masters, captain
of campus police, said. He was throwing what is known
as "hi chairs" from the building. "Hi chairs" are metal
rods with hooks on them and are used for supporting
the iron rods which re-enfcrce the concrete.
According to witnesses Ed Engblom, Adams, Nebr.,
Marvin Van Vorren, 325 B and Edward Meyers,
Panama, Nebr., Manning was tossing several bundles
of the "hi chairs" when one of the hooks caught in his
pants leg and jerked him off of the tower. He was dead
on arrival at the hospital.
Following the accident, all workmen stopped working
for the day. This is common- practice when a man
loses his life on the job, explained M. S. Landers, super
intendent for Lippert Brothers Co. of Oklahoma City, con
tractor of the building.
Safety precautions will be more strictly enforced in
the future, Landers said. "There is a tendency for the
workmen to become relaxed in their observance of the
safety rules as the job progresses," he concluded.

Lincoln Health Chief
'Houses Must Comply
By SUE IIOVIK
Nebraskan Staff Writer
Many houses can comply to the Uni
versity Health Code on space require
ments if they would just use the space
they have more efficiently stated E. W.
Simpson, Chief of Lincoln's Environment
al Health and Safety Division.
He explained that for two students
sleeping and studying in the same room,
the first student must have 70 square feet
and 50 square feet for each one there
after. This is a total of 120 feet for the
two students.
If the two students sleep in one room
(a dorm) and study in another room,
they each require 40 square feet in each
place for a total of 160 square feet. "It
is more costly to maintain dorms and
separate study rooms," said Simpson.
Simpson commented that he inspects
the organized houses twice a year.
Around Thanksgiving time, he inspects
the houses on food service, storage, gar
bage and trash facilities. The bad area
in every house is the trash and garbage
area according to the Public Health
Chief. "It is a never ending problem,"
he admitted.
In the. spring he re-inspects the kitch
en and food facilities plus the rest of the
entire building including electrical wir
ing, bedrooms, bathrooms and trunk
rooms.
"I know that this is not often enough
and I hope to do it four times a year
when I get additional staff," said Simpson.
IFC Chooses Hix
As Rush Chairman
By GARY LACEY
Nebraskan Staff Writer
Jim Hix, Sigma Phi Epsi
lon junior, was named rush
chairman of the Interfratern
ity Council (IFC) last night.
In his interview Hix said
that he would set up a group
of Nebraska fraternity men
to canvass the state, especial
ly the western part, in an ef
fort to convince high school
seniors to come to the Uni
versity and become fratern
ity men.
He said he would reach this
goal by talking to high school
principals and administrators
and to youth in high school
activities.
Parents, he noted, should al
so be convinced that fratern
ities are not only social clubs.
Other Business
In other council business:
John Nolon, Bill Buckley,
Jim Hix and Jerry Dickin
son were named to attend the
National Interfraternity con
vention to De held m Cleve

November.
Giving a rush report, Dave
Smith said that aDDlications
of interest in Chi Phi and
Theta Chi fraternities will be
available in the IFC office

was previously stated.
Rag Correction
It was incorrectly stated in
yesterday's Daily Nebraskan
that Henry Krous replaced
Eugene Bailie as activity di
rector of the RAM Council.
Bailie has replaced Krous in
that position.

Some time in the future
the men who signed the ap
plications of interest will be
invited to a smoker and will
be rushed by members of Chi
Phi and Theta Chi, according
to Smith.
Councilmen passed a resolu
tion backing up the adminis
tration's policies concerning
the conduct code of the Uni
versity. The executive com
mittee of the council is meet
ing with G. Robert Ross, dean
of Student Affairs to insure
that the IFC will have the
right to voice an opinion in
faculty senate legislation
against any member of the
IFC.
Initiation
A motion to leave the de
cision of initiating a man be
low a 5 average in any fra
ternity up to the council as
a whole as opposed to the
executive council was also
passed. The approval of the
executive body is still re
quired, but the council
can override an executive de
cision by a two-thirds affirm
ative vote.
Seven new ammendments
to the Jr. IFC constitution
were confirmed by the coun
cilmen. Most of the ammend
ments were made to estab
lish new committees.
John Nolon, president of the
council, asked members to
advise their pledge classes to
be more discreet on pledge
sneaks. He pointed out that
the administration has need
lessly been upset recently by
the sneaks.
In a survey taken last
spring of all the fraternity
houses, pledge sneaks were
deemed necessary to the un
ity of a pledge class by al
most every fraternity, accord
ing to Nolon.
The Sigma Chi representa
tive thanked all the fratern
ities for their cooperation dur
ing 'Derby Day.'

Emphasizes
With Code9
Reports of the findings are mailed to
the house president, alum advisor and
Division of Student Affairs, he explained.
On occasions they are sent to the house
mother. Simpson encouraged houses to have
an alumni advisor go through the house
with him so that he can explain the
criticisms in his reports. "This means
more and they are more likely to make
the needed changes," he said.
Simpson said that houses correct the
violations in operational items imme
diately, but the larger ones involving
more expense take more time. "You can
see that houses are complying with the
health regulations set up by noticing
the new additions that have been built
or are being built by the houses," he
explained.
Organized houses have three more
years in which to make corrections so
that they meet the Health Code.
Simpson added that off-campus hous
ing is not being inspected now for two
reasons,: A lack of time and staff mem
bers, and the condition of some of the
off-campus housing. He added that 1,000
University men live in 500 private homes
in Lincoln and that there would be the
problem of what to do with the ones
that would have to move out of the build
ings that might be condemned.
"I would like to see surprise fire
drills which are timed in all the houses,"
Simpson emphasized. Possible fire haz
ards are also high points on his check
lists.
