Needs Total Revamp
IFC Chooses Two
To Edit Rush Book
By GARY LACEY
Nebraskan Staff Writer
Helen Schmierer and Don
Ferguson were selected co
editors of the Interfraternity
Council (IFC) Rush Booklet
last night at the Council meet
ing in the Student Union.
Miss Schmierer told the
Council that the booklet need
ed a " 'total revamping of the
introductory section, includ
ing the minor copy changes
and completely new photo
graphs. Some photographs
have been used in the book
let for as many as five years.
One of the main problems
of the present book, said Miss
Schmierer, is that it is not
aimed at both the parent and
the student. High school stu
dents tend to be quite idealist
ic, but as we all know, par
ents are not and need more
than glitter to show them that
the fraternity system is a
good institution.
The council passed a mo
tion setting pay for the two
rush book editors at $50 a
piece at the on set of prepar
ations for the book, and pro
viding an additional $150 if
the book is completed by the
deadline.
In other Council business
the Fraternity Mangemeht
Association (FMA) called on
eight fraternities to join the
organization so that plans for
cooperative buying could pro

Hallstein will try, while in Lincoln, to convince the some

Athletes Strap
By JAN SACK
Sports Staff Writer
When a trackman runs the 220-yard dash with an
FM transmitter attached to his waist, something more
than time is recorded.
Don Tuch, University graduate student from Niobra
ra, is currently working with 10 varsity and freshman
trackmen to determine how their hearts react under
stress, a second wind and fatigue. He will follow them
through the indoor and outdoor seasons and the summer.
"We are finding out things that we previously did
not know because some conditions just could not be
duplicated in the lab," Tuch said.
Dr. Kenneth Rose of the University's Student Health
Center, through a continuing National Heart Institute
grant, is conducting a 4-year $20,000 research study on
the heart action of athletes.
Electrodes Attached
To record the heartbeat, the athlete wears an FM
transmitter strapped to his waist with attached electrodes.
An electrode is a small needle inserted under the top
layer of skin.
Waves are then transmitted to the FM receiver and

Ross Gtes Groups
For Sub Rosa Aid
Active support and concern
of student groups is helping
to end sub-rosas on the cam
pus, Dean of Student Affairs
G. Robert Ross said Wednes
day on the KNUS Campus
Forum.
"Our campus drinking prob
lem is similiar to any other
community of 10,000. We hope
we've seen the last of the
sub-rosas, but we cant be
certain. In the last decade
Chancellor Gustafson disor
ganized one and ten years
later we find ourselves deal
ing with the same group."
The policy of locking out
sub-rosa members was es
tablished before Ross came
to the campus. This year six
students have been ousted for
sub-rosa activities, Ross said.
"Discipline for members
who voluntarily admit mem
bership in a sub-rosa is un
determined at this point,"
Ross added.
Ross said the Greek system
is strengthening NIL "Fra
ternities and sororities serve
a definite function in social
areas for students.'"
Ross, who is "beginning his
first year as Dean of Student
Affairs, feels the atmosphere
on the University campus is
"open and friendly; students
are concerned with each oth

12th and T as indicated by the map, according to Dale
Redman, Student Committee parking committee chair

New Cultural Attitude
'U.S. Should Have
Art Centers' Shapiro
Washington, D.C. has al
ways been a dead spot cul
turally in the United States,
and now the Kennedys are
doing something about it,
said Karl Shapiro, University
English professor.
He explained that before
the first family stressed in
terest in culture, people did
not respond. Now that the
White House is interested in
cultural programs, people are
responding, he continued.
Shapiro observed the new
cultural attitude in the na
tion's capital when he recent
ly attended the golden anni
versary of Poetry Magazine.
The federal government spon
sored the event which 30
poets attended by invitation.
It was held in the Library of
Congress. Shapiro said the

festival an official connec

filtered to screen out all of the static. At the same time
a green beam is recorded on the oscilloscope, a kind of
screen, and then onto a graph.
How fast the heart beats under the various conditions
depends upon the physical condition of the athlete. The
more conditioned the athlete becomes, the slower the
number of heartbeats per minute.
Stevens Subject
During this interview Dave Stevens, a lreshman
trackster from North Platte, was the subject. Stevens'
recorded heartbeat at rest was 65 per minute; after a
10-minute warmup, 110 per minute; after an all-out 220
yard dash; 170 per minute; and one minute after the
race down to 140 beats per minute.
With the transmitter attached to the waist of the
athlete, waves can be picked up as far away as 500
yards. Not only will the effect of a 200-yard dash be
used, but Tuch plans to have the boys run through the
440, 880, mile, two-mile and possibly cross country.
"This is simply basic research," Tuch said, "and it
is impossible to say what will come out. We could find
some abnormalties in the heart. There is also a possi
bility of discovering new training methods."

poet said that it was danger
ous to have a pure central
ization of culture in Washing
ton, D.C, or any place else
because the country is n o t
built like that.
Shapiro added that it is
against the tradition of the
United States to pour every
thing into one place. "The
only way to really stimulate
art is to have art centers all
over the United States. "How
ever, what Kennedy is doing
is with the best intentions,"
he added.
He pointed out though, that
universities and colleges all
over the country have spon
taneously sponsored the arts.
There is already art support
from universities and col
leges. The English professor
said that having writers on

United States and has be

Behlen Tells
NU Students
About 'BowP
The president of the Beh
len Manufacturing Company
of Columbus, Walt Behlen,
discussed the proposed Ne
braska Centennial Coliseum
between Lincoln and Omaha
with the faculty and students
of the School of Architecture
yesterday.
In a recent report, Behlen
said that the building is no
dream, but an engineering re
ality. The coliseum, nicknamed
the Husker Bowl by the engi
neering staff, would seat in
the grandstand 2 thousand
persons a n d would cost be
tween six and seven million
dollars when fully equipped.
It would have a field big
enough for football and other
outdoor attractions. The esti
mate includes heating, light
ing and air conditioning.
Behlen produced, "besides a
scale model, a preliminary
architect and engineering
drawing, hlueprints and cost
estimates.
A huge double-roofed arch
of "'space "bridge" would be
made of "stressed skin" pan
el construction consisting of
aluminized steel and secured
with stainless stsel "bolts. The
double arches will be held to
gether by light gauge struts
where they win gain strength,
so there will be no need for
view - distracting posts or pil
lers. Valley City, N.D., is con
structing a similar huilding,
although smaller, for winter
livestock shows.
