Student Ambassador Flight
Program this summer. The
program is designed to give
actively participating . PTP
members a chance to go

so the ambassadors will have
freedom of travel by plan

However, there will be defi

Feb. 25. The University has
already seen them at the
Kansas State football game
and the Military Ball. They
plan to hold exhibitions at nu
merous high schools in Ne
braska. Carol Hodges, honorary col
onel, said that the group was
invited to perform at the
Cherry Blossom Festival at
the White House last year,
but they were unable to at
tend because of finances.
Each girl pays $1 a month
dues and the Pershing Rifles
pay for their trips to the na
tional and regional ex
hibitions. The pledges are now pro
posing money making proj
ects to finance extra trips.
"Our goal is to march at a
Bowl Game, the Mardi Gras
and the Cherry Blossom Fes
tival," Miss Hodges said.
The drill team was organ
ized four years ago as an
auxiliary to Pershing Rifles,
by Capt. Charles Svoboda,
former assistant professor of
Military Science.
The girls also serve as
hostesses for various Army
ROTC and Pershing Rifles
events.
The team consists of 26 ac
tive members and 11 pledges.
The pledges act as substitutes
for the active members dur
ing drill work. Averaging
from three to seven hours of
practice a week, the girls
meet every Tuesday and at
6 a.m. and noon on days im
mediately before events.

CU Fights
Prejudice

EDITOR'S NOTE: Discriminator
rlausts In the constitutions of Greek
organisations have been the cause for
various actions taken recently on mid
western campuses. The following story
was comptteil from stortet In toe Uni
versity of Colorado student ewsvaper.
Greek houses at the Univer
sity of Colorado can no long
er have discriminating
clauses on the basis of race,
color or religion.
The CU Board of Regents
had set a six year deadline
for all Greek houses to get
rid of their clauses or get
off the campus. The dead
line came due this semester.
One house, Phi Delta Theta,
removed its clause during the
summer and the Colorado
regents granted the fraternity
a two-year deadline extension
when it was learned that a
constitutional change requires
two years to take effect.
The Colorado Regents, in
granting the time extension,
said that because the local
Phi Delt chapter had demon
strated the proper attitude in
seeking the removal of the
clause, the house would not
be penalized for technically
failing to meet the deadline.
Arthur Kendall, dean of
students at CU, said that he
had letters on file from both
the national and local Greek
organizations which affirm
compliance to the order ban
ning discriminatory clauses.
"This is to certify that . . .
chapter of . . . fraternity or
sorority is not required by its
consitutition, rituals, or gov
ernment to deny membership
to any person because of
race, color, or religion."
Dean Kendall said that the
letter must be signed by the
chapter president and by the
president of the national or

"Communist theorists still be

Dr. Palmer suggested that

Specifically he pointed to

"The emphasis should be on
