UC Students
In Clothes
University of California
Going around in circles is an often experienced feeling
by some college students, but one University of California
student went around 1151 times in a clothes dryer.
Setting a new record for the recent college rage, the
student spent 28 minutes in the dryer. He explained that
he was dizzy only the first few minutes, but then became
worried about how long his muscles could stand the strain
ol bracing his body against the side of the dryer.
thf, """IV prevent getting bruised by the
fins that toss the clothes around, he said. He also added
that the door is kept halfway open so the dryer doesn't
get too hot.
About 250 University of California students belong to
the School Resource Volunteers who work in elementary
and secondary schools in Berkley.
These students tutor young pupils in all subjects, help
in remedial classes, work, on projects with bright students,
correct papers and tests, talk on fields of special interests,
type and ditto school materials and perform innumerable
services for the school to which they are assigned.
Each student works about two or three hours a week.
They also handle outside clubs and activities.
Due to complaints from students about the low re
turn on selling used books to the book stores and the high
cost of purchasing used books, students at the University
of California will be able to .exchange books through the
newly initiated Alpha Phi Omega book exchange.
The manager of a local bookstore, un worried by the
prospect of competition, said "the exchange won't hurt
the bookstore business because it won't work."
He said that due to the element of chance, the stu
dent will find the book exchange a disadvantage. He also
added that bookstores learn in advance of the books re
quired for courses by buying the information from the
University and that the expense would offset the purpose
of the project.

... The proposal of exempting students who receive an A
in a course from preparing for a final examination was dis
cussed by the Student Senate
in Albany, N.Y.
Arguments for the proposal included ihat It was need'
less for these students to study for t'..e final examination
and that it would be an incentive to potential A-students
to work harder In order to receive the exemption.
The main argument against the proposal was that final
examinations are not exempted in graduate school and a
student might enter there without sufficient experience in
taking final examinations.
This was countered by the

Pharmacy College Meets

The American Council of

that its College of Pharmacy
complies with the standards

The action followed an ex

a four member board last
October as part of fee Coun

The Council cited the Col

"relatively new well-planned
building and a staff which is

According to Jerry Farm

The drive might last

said. "Today the pledges

As -part of the program,
a wrecked truck with the

tive good will come of it,"
he explained.
The report will be tenta
tively published with the
cooperation of a local in
surance company. "Also, it
will be difficult to get the
needed information for the
report for several months,"
he added.
We are fully confident,
however, that these two
problems will be worked
out, and the report should
appear In its final form
-within the next two months,
according to Farmer.
The campaign is being
used in conjunction with
Phi Delta Theta's pre-initia-tion
activities for the
pledges.
Farmer also pointed out,
"Let me emphasize that
the drive is aimed toward
the whole state, not just
Lincoln or the University
community. If we can gain
enough public support for
the bill, and it passes, it
should result in decreasing
the annual Nebraska traffic

Bolivia.
The faculty members on the
panel were Dr. Oikawa, of
Japan, law research; Dr.
Maan, of India, an instruct
or in genetics on Ag campus;
and Dr. Houn, associate pro
fessor of political Science,
from North China.
Each of the panel mem
bers pointed out facets in his
educational system which dif
fered from that of the United
States.
According to Dr. Oikawa,
it is very difficult to enter
a Japanese university. The
entrance exams usually stifle
the pursuit of higher educa
tion for 90 of the students.
If one gets a degree from
a good university, however,
he is assured of a good po
sition and a high salary. The
number of women in Japa
nese universities is -very
small, only about 10, he
commented.
In South Africa, Caywood
said, there are three separ
ate schools: one for Negroes,
one for the English and one
for the Afrikaners, or Dutch.
The teachers in these schools
are of the same race as the
students. As to universities,
the English universities are
open to all races, but the
Afrikaner Universities permit
only whites to enroll.
Speaking on the social as
pects of the educational in
stitutions hi her country,
Jackie Eaglesome said that
in Bolivia they have cultural
clubs instead of fraternities
or sororities, and all the par
ties are private ones.

Acute Care Hospital
Holds Top Priority
The University College of Medicine in Omaha will in
itiate a long-range building program including $35,300,000 for
buildings through a bill tentatively approved by the Legis
lature's revenue committee.
Sen. J. Burbach, chairman of the committee, explained
that th: bill has not yet left the hands of the committee
which it must before going to the Legislature floor.
Receiving Immediate priority in the program it the
construction of a 200-bed acute care hospital to replace the
present University Hospital.
The present hospital would be partially converted to
minimal care beds for patients who are recovering from
acute illness, patients who are confined for diagnostic study
and who need minimal nursing care in preparation for re
habilitation, and for patients who are waiting transportation
home.
Built in 1917 with a first addition completed ten yean
later, the present hospital is not adaptable to remodeling
into a modem teaching hospital Under the new building
program it will house classroom areas and office space
in addition to its minimal nursing care facilities.
The newest addition to the hospital, completed two
years ago, will be used for the Clinics, administrative of
fices and research and laboratory areas.
An enclosed walk overpassing 42nd St. will connect
the existing hoSDital and the new nnft fhrrrPTitlv ttio irrnrl.
ing and lowering of 42nd St. is under city planning.
The expenditure of $35,300,000 for new buildings, the
renovation of existing buildings and the acquisition of new
land are part of the long-range plan.
Other new buildings to be constructed include a stu
dent center, a continuing education center, married and
smgie stuaeni nousing, ana research nmts.
This long-range plan will be accomplished through the
special one mill tax levy which was tentatively approved by
the revenue committee.
The bill, LB26, provides a special state tax levy of one
mill for two years which would bring in about three and a
half million dollars a year for a total of seven million
dollars for two years.
Sen. Burbach said that the Tate would then -drop to
one-half mill for the next five years. This would bring
in one and one-half million dollars each year through 1970.
The revenue committee approved the hffl tentatively,
but made no financial recommendations beyond the initial
seven-year period.
Faculty Senate Discusses
University Budget Problem
Vice-chancellor and Dean
of Faculties, Adam Brecken
ridge, summarized the Uni
versity's money problem at
the Faculty Senate meeting
yesterday.
According to Breckenridge,
the Legislature has asked for
an estimate of the long range
maintenance costs for the
proposed building program of
the University.
Breckenridge said that un
less funds increase, the staff
will not; unless the staff in
creases, there will be no
more buildings; and If there
are no more buildings, there
will not be anymore students.
'We're working on all three
problems," he added.
