To find out, one may read a series of four cumulative reports which will be released during the year. These re ports will show the progress of the Council since the be ginning of the 1962 fall sem ester. Don Burt, Student Council president, said he hoped that the report will inform the stuaent body, faculty and ad ministration on the work of the Council. Tbe report is divided into five areas. The first is the academic and faculty divi sion. The calendar commit tee, nnder Patty Knapp, re ported that tbe 1963-64 aca demic year and 1964 summer school calendars have been approved. A possible date to be set aside for migration, the teas ibility of changing Home coming to an earlier date, the changing of spring vacation to an earlier date and the starting date for 1964 calen dar win be discussed at a revision meeting in January. The library committee's main project is tbe establish ment of house libraries, re ported chairman Syl Golka. The committee, working with Frank Lundy, director of li braries, is attempting to sur round students with books in their houses. A report will soon be re leased by the library that will state what books will be ade quate for house libraries, re ported the committee. The library committee will also do a report dealing with student usage of the libraries, stolen books, the new card system and possible future changes. In cooperation with the li brary, the committee will publish a booklet informing students on bow to use li brary facilities more effec tively and adequately. Planning second semester registration has been tbe main project of the registra tion committee, said ausie Pierce, chairman. Students may obtain appointment tick ets from Jan. 14-18, 1963, and register from Jan. 28-30, 1963. Obtaining appointment cams is scheduled early so that stu dents would not have to se cure appointment tickets and register at the same time as final exams, she said. Registration and payment of fees will be in the Men s Physical Education Building, and appointment tickets may be secured in the Unions from 8 a.m. to S p.m. The , social committee, un der the chairmanship of Jim King, has discussed the pos sibility of social events, oth er than exchange dinners, being held during the week with the Faculty Senate Sub committee on Social Affairs and Activities. Study is now being done on the possibility of the re-evaluation of the present eligibil ity requirements for partici pation in extra-curricular ac tivities. The commencement com mittee under Don Burt and Dave Scholz reported possible solutions to tbe problem of where to hold commence ment in the future. Holding the ceremony in the stadium would present the problem of bad weather, according to the report. Giving out tickets for ad mittance to commencement is discouraged because of al ums who may happen to be on campus and want to attend. Tickets could be given to ac comodate the large families and relatives of some stu dents. The committee reported that two sessions could be held in either Pershing Audi torium or the Coliseum. The seating capacity is equal in both with the Coliseum hav ing standing room. Other arguments are that the Coliseum has traditional value, but it would be too hot for the second session. Hold ing commencement in Persh ing Auditorium would cumul ate the heat problem and would be a little cheaper to set up. Locations for commence ments through Jan. 1964 have been established. The student organizations committee, under Scholz and Chip Kuklin, has not met this year. It sends represen tatives to the Faculty Senate Sub-committee on Student Or ganizations. Linda Lueking, chairman of the final exams committee, reported that her committee is obtaining student opinion concerning final exams and finals schedules in order to prepare the schedule for next year. The honors convocation com mittee under the chairman ship of Susie Christensen is trying to get a distinguished alumnus who will attract the students as a speaker for the 1963 Convocation. The committee is also re evaluating the manner in which the honor students are selected.

' a Snow Storms Bring Heavy Work Load Snow Removal Crew May Ask For 'Siiowless' Christmas at NJJ Bv TOM McGLVMS N ebraska Staff Writer Whiie many students dream of a white Christmas, mem bers of the University Build ings and Grounds crew hope for a Christmas without snow. Snow and colder weather always mean an increased work load for the University crews, according to Charles F. Fowler, director of the Di vision of Buildings asd Grounds. When one to four inches of snow falls oa the campus, tbe sbow removal crew usually reports to work about S un. The walks usually are cleared suffictenfiy by the time stu dents start going to classes. Fowler mentioned. When tbe snowfall is heav ier or drifting, the University employees often work through most of the night Thirty four mea with fvur tr actors equipped with snow Gould Send-off Includes Banquet Students will bid an official good-bye to Dr. William B.

According to Fowler, all of the sidewalks ronstrnrted recently have beea designed with meehaEi cal snow removal ia mind. The corners are round aad walks are wide so the trac tors caa be drives them. The University power plant also feels the effects of weath er changes. Paul Owen at the p o w e r plant mentioned that yester day the University used ap proximately 2.500,000 pounds of steam, winch compared with 1X24,000 pounds which were used last Friday, a con siderably warmer day. Tbe exact maximum amount of steam which the plant can produce is not known, but Scripts Available Scripts for Kosmet KMbt spring show, "FiorenV wiH be available all next week at the tnaia desk of tbe Student Unioa or from Bob Geisler or Harold Dehart at the Delta Upsiloa boose.

Another L'niversitv service which is affected by weather changes is the switchboard. Fowler mentioned that for seme reasoni the amount of calls to and from the Univer sity Increase significantly wbea w eather changes sud denly. He pointed out that Mon day at 9:30 a m. the Univer sity lines were open, and at 10:30, after it had begun snowing, the lines were bogged down. I'TMs could have been due partly to the new extension numbers, added Fowler., - j Will Weather Affect Colds? ; Contrary to popular belief, the common cold is not caused by severe weather, say Student Health officials. The biggest cause of the common cold, said Dr. Ken neth Rose, director of re search at Student Health, is that students don't gel enough sleep and let their resistance run down. i He noted that susceptibility to colds is purely a matter of resistance. Dr. Rose said if students are not in good physical condition they can easily catch a cold if they are in a ckm area bere one person has cold germs. He said that a good cold prevention is the routine flu vaccine. Although tbe person receiving the vaccine win not have the same full advantage he would have had if be had taken tbe shot in the fall, it is still recommended, be con cluded. Dr. G. M. Underwood, di rector of the City Health De partment, said that colds are caused by germs which are more common at ibis time of year, because more peopie are an closer prwamny 10 each other.
