The maximum fine which the bill will permit to be lev ied is $250 and 60 days in jail. These two fines would be levied in cases where false identification is not an issue. When a person attempts to purchase liquor with a false set of identification cards, the minimum fine would 'be $100 and three days in jail. The maximum fine in such a case would be $250 and five days in jail. posals so that organization representatives could talk to their respective organizations about the proposals.

Adults who purchase liquor for minors can be fined, un der the new bill, $500,, in stead of the original $200, and will have a mandatory jail sentence of 15 days. The bill was introduced on January 7, by Marvin Strom er, 19th district; J. W. Bur bach, 14th district; and Matt Wylie, 27th district. According to Sen. Stromer, the present distribution of fines between the liquor dealer and the minor who purchases it is kind of like a lopsided teeter-totter. The businessman is liable to lose his business, a big The Doily Jaywalker Must End Evil Ways New Lights To Go At 14th, S St reefs The life of the University jaywalker is now over. The Student Council passed a mo tion Wednesday that the City of Lincoln install a scatter light system at the intersec tion of 14th and S streets. The Lincoln Police will en force this light, said Dale Redman, chairman of the parking committee, and there will be no more jaywalking. A spokesman for Municipal Court said that jaywalkers must appear at Municipal Court and pay a fine any where from $1-$100. The light will be enforced from 7:15 a.m. to 9 p.m., and will go into effect one week from Monday, March 24. Redman said that both Lin coln and Campus Police had been getting calls from irrate drivers and students about the congestion at the inter section. The scatter light will work as follows: green lights will allow north-south 14th street traffic to move; then green lights will allow S street and Mall traffic to move; then all lights will be red and stu dents may walk any direction within the square of the inter section. Redman said that in the future, a radial highway will go around the campus. Vine, S, 14th and 16th streets will be turned over to the campus. Until that time, 14th street will remain one of the main routes to downtown Lincoln. Redman said that this street carries about 25,000 cars a day. Graduates Organize New Club The newly organized Grad uate Club met last week in their organizational meeting at the Nebraska Center to dis cuss short and long range plans. The Graduate Club was or ganized for the purpose of so cial and educational benefits. It is open to full or part time students, teaching or non teaching students and on or off campus students. Their long range plans are set upon a tentative basis with coffee hours every other Friday including faculty pro fessors. Social meetings are planned every alternate Fri day including bowling, pic nics, golfing, and public speakers. They have also planned a graduate inter departmental seminar with special speak ers, programs, convocations and conventions. A large per cent of the grad uate departments are repre sented in the new Graduate Club. At the organizational meeting the departments rep resented were English, lan guage, mathematics, chemis try, music and social science. punishment, while the minor is fined $25, and let go. The motive behind this bill, in the mind of Sen. Wylie, is this unfairness to the businessman . in present laws. "What's the use in con ducting a business if people are going to lie to you," said Sen. Wlyie. "I want to be fair to people, I want people to tell the truth." The bill calls for the man datory jail sentence for mi nors only when they use false IDs in attempts to pur chase liquor. The reason for not includ ing the mandatory jail sen tence to cover any minor in Nebraskan Naked ancoDle airclhes Locating G. Clifford Prout, president of the Society for Indecency to Naked Animals (SINA), who was revealed yesterday as actually being Henry Zuckerman, is like try ing to find a clothed animal in Nebraska. Bill Dunklau spent Thurs day afternoon in hot pursuit of Prout and his inferiors. After an hour and 15 phone calls he had talked to nobody in SINA who could confirm Prout's appearance at Nebras ka. Two things were settled for sure, however: 1. ) Prout will not be on cam pus Monday. 2. ) The Residence Associa tion for Men (RAM) will sponsor him, if and when he comes. At Wednesday night's meet ing the motion to rescind spon sorship of Prout was defeated by even a greater majority than the original motion to sponsor him had been passed by, Dunklau said. Someone in the depths of the SINA organization called Dunklau and said that Prout could not make it. He said they would call the University this weekend. Dunklau took matters into his own hands and called the New York City information operators. They located, not one, but three, Henry Zucker mans. So the call was transferred to Newsweek magazine. News week would say nothing and the call was again transferred to Time magazine. This half of the news giants gave Dunk lau the person who wrote the article revealing Zuckerman as Prout. "She said she didn't know where he was, however, and referred me to CBS in N e w York," Dunklau said. At CBS headquarters he was referred to the Garry Moore Show where he was referred Val Peterson Will Begin Alumni College Speeches Seven of the principal speakers for the 1963 Alumni College, to be held June 6 and 7 at the University of Nebraska, have been an nounced by Chairman Charles Thone of Lincoln. They are, in order of ap pearance on the program: Val Peterson, former Re nnhlican governor of Nebras ka and currently a member of the University Board oi Regents, who will lead a dis cussion on "Partners in Prog ress," the role of the Univer sity in the economic ad in dustrial development of the state. Peterson was federal Civil Defense director and U.S. Ambassador to Den mark before taking his pres ent position as vice chairman of the J. M. McDonald Co. at Hastings. Dr. Robert Manley, Univer possession, according to Sen. Stromer, is that the bill would probably not receive enough support to pass. "This is a bold enough step in itself," Stromer said. The bill calls for an in crease in the fines of adults because now kids 18 or 19 years old give some money to a wino and tell him to go buy them a case of beer, said Stromer. And they tell him to keep a buck for him self. He thinks this is great and purchases the liquor. "I've seen it happen," said Strom er. Under the new bill, the AirDaonaB Tco d As H Jklm For Proyt to CBS in California, supposed ly where Prout was hiding. When he finally contacted CBS in California he was re ferred to the Garry Moore Show in California. At the Garry Moore Show in Califor nia people said Prout was sick until some unsuspecting secretary said he was on a train to New York halfway between New York, CBS, Gar ry Moore and California, CBS and Garry Moore. So, Dunklau gave up on Prout, temporarily, and con centrated on Bruce Spencer, SINA's vice-president. S p e n cer wasn't at SINA's h e a d quarters. Dunklau placed the call to his home. A woman answered the phone and said Spencer was on a train and wouldn't be back until Friday morning. He then tried the group's executive vice-president, Alan Abel, but he too was on a train somewhere and wouldn't be back till Friday morning. Dunklau left the Daily Ne braskan's offices late Thurs day afternoon planning even further action in the matter. "SINA's getting off the hook. They conduct their business all by phone and are doing nothing but running me around," he said. He planned to find out Zuck erman's middle initial and contact him at home as soon as possible. Two dates, Thurs day, March 21, and Monday, March 25, have been suggest ed as dates for his appear ance. "They said Tuesday to call back Thursday. I'm through with that. I'm going to try to contact him and get him out here," Dunklau said. Therefore Dunklau again began calling. He found out Zuckerman's unlisted person al phone number in New York through the Cooper Agency, through whom Zuckerman sity instructor in history, who will discuss some of the facts he has discovered while working on his book relating the first 100 years of the University of Nebraska.

Waugh has served as assist ant secretary of state for economic affairs and is cur rently Washington consultant to The Bank of New York's international department. University Chancellor Clif ford Hardin and Nebraska Puet Laureate John G. Nei hardt, who jointly will pre sent "Nebraska Heritage." Neihardt is considered the outstanding epic poet of the American West and has re ceived many poetry honors. jail sentence will prohibit this type of purchaser from enjoying his commission. There are few persons who can afford either the fifteen day stint in jail or the $500, if they are caught, observed Stromer. The advocates of the bill feel that it is certain of ac ceptance. It has had no votes cast against it up to this time. The bill will become effective on July 1 of this year. The three month waiting period gives the state time to p r i n t . up signs to be placed in liquor stores and to publicize the new law effectively. Friday, March 15, 1963 works as Buck Henry, a gag writer for Garry Moore. At his p e r s o n a 1 number someone told Dunklau that Zuckerman was vacationing in Palm Springs. He was re ferred to the Cooper Agency in Hollywood. At the Cooper Agency he was referred to the Chateau Montmar in Holly wood where he was told that Zuckerman was staying at the Holiday Inn in Palm Springs. At 6 p.m. Dunklau was put through to the Holiday Inn in Palm Springs. The manager said Zucker man had been registered there for two days, but wouldn't be in for about two hours for din ner. At midnight Dunklau reach ed Zuckerman in Palm Springs at the Holiday Inn, and Zuckerman said it was impossible for him to come to Nebraska. He said that he had not heard of any tentative plans and had not talked to Spencer for a week. Zuckerman plans to talk to Spencer today. Zuckerman said that he was on vacation after working in Los Angeles on the Garry Moore show. He added that he wouldn't be in New York until Monday and would know his schedule then.
