WEARYING WORK Truly dedicated photographers
will spend weeks trying to capture just the picture they
want. Photographer Pixie Smallwood set out with a goal.
For weeks she waited camera in hand, finger on 4Jie
shutter, missing meals and sleep, neglecting studying
all to capture just what she was waiting for a picture
of the SUN! FinaUy, the sun peeked out, and Pixie man
aged to move her numb, weary, ever-poised shutter fin
ger and take the picture. Dan Rosenthal and Bob Bosk
ing almost stepped in the way, but failed to spoil the suc
cess of a patient photographer!

Campus Housing Facilities
Remain Available Harper
Housing for students is not
as difficult to find this se
mester, according 10 w. u
Jlarper, director of University
ervices.
Although all rooms in Scl
leek Quadrangle and Burr
Hall are full, the Capital Ho
tel is still 10 short of its 154
capacity.
Students can also live in
the "bunk sections" of Sel
leek. The basements have
large rooms which can ac
commodate approximately 14
students each.
These "bunk sections" have
bunk beds, desks and closet
space. As a compensation for
their lack of privacy, the
room fee is half that for a reg
ular room, j
The section's ar! usually
filled up at t beginning of
the semester said Harper, but
after two months of school
the men in these areas have
moved into tHle rooms upstairs
replacing dropouts.
The Univqrsity can house
aroung 1,230 male students.

replied the "expert."
One "expert" locked a near
death grip on the 'T-bar" ski
tow, then hit a patch of ice,
and flew off into the snow
some 30 feet from the moun
tain top.
"Take off your skis and
walk up," shouted someone
racing by on the tow. So "ex

takes off skis, takes a step,
and finds snow chin level.
Really in woods now, so put
on skis again, and start cross

Fun, fun, fun. Stumble over

Students Sell Books
At Exchange In Union
Several hundred books have
changed hands in the Alpha
Phi Omega book exchange at
the Student Union since it be
gan nine days ago.
Located in the Union's
south party room the ex
change will be open 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. daily through to
morrow. "One student told me that
the price we had on one par
ticular book was as much as
doubled by another book
store," said Mark Tcply, book
exchange secretary.
The sellers price their own
books. The book exchange
sells them on consignment
taking a 15 cent commission
on all books over one dollar.
Books selling for less than
one dollar earn no commission.

The college fraternity
could be compared with the
dinosaur. The dinosaur had
history, tradition, and
strength, but failed to adapt
to the changing environ
ment. . The fraternity, too has its
history, tradition, and
strength. But many edu
cators have asked, will it
be able to adapt for sur
vival, or will it, too, be
come a historical footnote?
Frank M. Hallgren, Dean
of Men, stated that, "If the
fraternity system is to sur
vive it will need to demon
strate that it is a positive
educational influence in the
college community."
"To demonstrate ' a posi
tive contribution, the frater
nity system must become a
leader in the solution of so
cial problems and riot a de
fender of the status quo; a
leader in cultural and in
tellectual development and
not a debunker of the crea
tive and imaginative intel
lect." "I think the days of keg,

Miss Pansing
Two campus coeds will represent Nebraska in national
competition in April. Ginny Pansing was chosen Nebraska's
Miss Wool and Connie Spelts was named Nebraska Cherry
Blossom Princess.
Miss Pansing will represent the Kansas-Nebraska Sheep
and Wool Council at the Miss Wool of America contest in
San Angelo, Tex., March 31 through April 6. She will com
pete with girls from each of the twent wool districts.
As Nebraska Miss Wool, she will make appearances at
fairs and state and county wool shows, will take part in wool
fashion shows and will reign over Wool Day at Ak-Sar-Bcn
next fall.
The national Miss Wool will receive a six month trip
around the U.S., a new wardrobe designed especially for
her, a car for a year and a $500 scholarship to the school
of her choice.
Susan Stewart of Scottsbluff and Cheryle Warden of
Fremont, both University coeds, were runners-up in the
state contest.
Miss Spelts was chosen by the Board of Governors of the
State Society of Washington, D.C. to represent Nebraska in
Washington March 31 through April 7. One girl has been
chosen from each state.
The 50 girls will attend the Cherry Princess Presentation
Ball, the Coronation Ball and will ride in the Cherry Blos
som Parade. At the end of the Coronation Ball a national
princess will he chosen.
The national princess will take a good-will trip to Japan.
It was Japan that gave the cherry trees to Washington that
bloom in the federal basin.

largely gone," indicated
Earl W. Clifford, Dean of
Men at Syracuse Universi
ty, "and that in a very sig
nificant way, a prime char
acteristic, a principle di
mension of fraternity expe
rience that has evolved is
not modern at all. but a
return to the literary-scholastic
origin of those or
ganizations." Clifford, when inter
viewed at the November
meeting of the National In
terfraternity confer
ence (NIC) in Pittsburgh,
noted that the first college
fraternity was Phi Beta
Kappa, now a scholastic
honorary.
Hallgren stated that while
"Brotherhood" means a
sincere feeling of friend
ship, a closeness and con
cern for the other person's
character and social devel
opment, it should also mean
a concern for the intellectu
al enrichment of the rest of
the fraternity membesship.
Nearly all of the national
college fraternities were
founded, at least in part, to
supplement and contribute
to the intellectual develop -ment
of the individual.
The Daily Nebraskan
last year, said "The chief ad
vantage o f going to the
MMUN was having the oppor
tunity to place myself in a
position of another country
besides the United States and
force myself to think as I
knew they did and adopt their
position and frame of mind
as mine."
Foreign Students
He explained that many of
the students were foreign stu
dents representing their own
countries.
"It was fascinating to me
to see how dedicated, devoted
and excited they were, and
became, in representing their
countries views, conunuea
Lundak.

One fraternity, in its ear
ly years, required regular
participation in c h a p t e r
room debates over curent
political, social and cultur
al topics.
Another national fraterni-1
ty, Chi Phi, was originally
patterned after a literary
society.
Another large national
fraternity, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, according to exec
utive secretary Rex Smith,
had as one of its constitu
tional requirements that
"each member of the fra
ternity chose a subject on
which he had to write es
says throughout his college
course, for the literary
meetings of the chapter."
Indicative of this return
to scholastic and cultural
stimulation and develop
ment is a program cited by
Dean Clifford.
The residence halls at
Syracuse were encouraged
to bring lecturers, one-act
plays, recitals, and other
forms of cultural programs
into the residence halls each
week.
This, he noted, was to
supplement the origi
nal purpose of care, feed
in an attempt to influence
other delegations to vote a
certain way. Lundak said that
the American delegation held
open houses almost all the
time they weren't in session
Lundak said that the dele
gations stuck very close to
the actual country they rep
resented and carried through
the personalities and temper
ments of those people.
Five Delegates
The former delegate said
that Nebraska should definite'
ly have five delegates instead
of the three that went last
year.
However, he pointed out
that the smaller number
didn't hurt them last year be
cause of the country Nebras
ka represented.
The only two issues con
cerning them directly that
came up in the Security
Council were the admission of
Red China to the UN and the
effect of radiation on the hu
man body.
Lundak added that he
didn't believe students inter
viewing for a position on the
delegation should necessarily
be authorities on Algeria. He
said that they should have an
interest in the UN and a
vague familarity with its pur
poses, and they can learn
more about it after the inter
views. Each of the five Nebraska
delegates will represent Al
geria on five different com
mittees. One Issue
One of the issues to come
up on the political and secur
ity committee agenda is that
of seating the People's Re
public of China in the UN and
all its organs.
Another issue is the ques
tion of a permanent UN
Armed Forces. In recent
years the UN has had a
temporary Emergency Force
to deal with trouble in t h c
Middle East and Africa. It
does not fulfill the desire of

with a small recreation
program), making the resi
dence halls into "residential
educational centers."
"This is the type of pro
gram," noted Hallgren,
"that more college frater
nities should incorporate to
live up to their principles."
At the University of Ten
nessee, according to the Ad
tiser to fraternities, Joseph
A. Cecil, the IFC took vol
untary action to correct
their scholastic record.
Through legislation, the
IFC levied a penalty on any
fraternity failing to make a
2.0 or C average.
For the first quarter of
failure, the chapter will
lose social privileges. If
there is a repeat the sec
ond quarter, they add the
loss of intramurals. If the
deficiency continues for a
third quarter, the chapter

ent force.
The third issue discussed in
this meeting will he the uni
fication of the Congo. Since
the Congo gained independ
ence from Belgium, sectional
disputes have prevented the
successful formation of an ef
fective central government
there, and have resulted in
open civil war.
Due to the possible reper
cussions civil strife in t h e
Congo might have on world
peace, the UN established an
emergency force to end the
shooting and secure unifica
tion. Radiation Level
In the special political com
mittee meeting, it will at
tempt to determine the levels
of radiation to which man is
currently exposed and the ef
fects of radiation on individ
uals and their descendants.
Concerning the peaceful
uses of outer space, the com
mittee will discuss the prin
ciple that international law ap
plies to outer space and that
it is free for exploration and
use by all states, and is not
subject to national appropria
tion. The committee will also
discuss the question of Hun
gary and reports concerning
the events which happened in
1956 when the USSR stationed
forces there.
In the economic and finan
cial committee, the UN Spe
cial Fund, the improvement
of- world market conditions
and the UN bond issue will
be discussed.
In connection with the bond
issue, resolutions will be ac
cepted on Ihs means where

UN agreed to in order to
overcome the financial diffi
culties incurred as a result of
