Students Decide
Perking Issue
New Student Council mem
bers yesterday voted to hold
a special meetin? next week
to decide whether to rescind
or uphold last week s mo
tion passed by the 1962-63
Council to " oppose the park
ing fee increase to $10.
Carl Donaldson, University
business manager, will pre
sent the Administration's
ideas on the problem.
Earlier in the year, the
Council passed a motion to
support a $5 increase. Dale
Redman, past chairman of
the parking committee, sup
ported the opposition of the
$10 increase because no stip
ulation was made as to how
the money .was to be spent
and how the parking land
would be used in the future.
Dennis Christie, president,
told the new membeYs to
think and act for themselves
on this issue and make sure
they understand it before,
they vote because it would
probably be one of the most
important issues they would
face during the year.
In other business the Coun
cil elected the following new
officers: Jean Probasco, treas
urer; Karen Benting, record
ing secretary; and Doug
Thorn, corresponding secreta
ry. Christie explained the four
new committee areas that
have been established. They
are: constitutional committee
to discuss revisions of t h e
Council constitution; the wel
fare and personnel service
committee 'to discuss the
book pool, downtown discount
possibilities and minimum
wage laws on the University
campus; Nebraska student
government committee to
consist of student govern
ments from all state schools
of higher education; and the
Big Eight student government
committee to set up discus
sion topics for the conference
next fall.
A Peace Corps representa
tive from Washington, D.C.
told the Council that a total
of eight Corps representatives
will be visiting the campus
this week to give tests and
explain the program.
The following Council repre
sentatives from organizations
had not been previously an
nounced: Denny Swanston,
Corn Cobs, and Jo Ann
Strateman, Council on Reli

. . Board Of Managers Eliminated
At a meeting with the Union Board of
Managers Tuesday night, G. Robert Ross,
dean of Student Affairs, presented the
board with a "working paper," concern
ing the reorganization of the Nebraska
Union's administration.
. "It is recommended," read Ross' pre
pared statement, "that the Board of Man
agers and the Nebraska Union Constitu
tion, as they have been known, be elim
inated. In place of this organization, it is
recommended that a Student Advisory
Council for the Nebraska Union be
formed."
This group, according to Ross, would
consist largely of students. He noted that
the structure and membership of the
group needs student study and recom
mendation. The board set up a subcommittee to
attempt a working model of Ross' plan.
In order to facilitate their work, Ross'
"working paper" outlined the functions of
the new group.
Presently, the board makes the final
decisions on Union policy in several areas
and is responsible to the Chancellor and
to the Board of Regents for its decisions.
Under the new plan, the student group
would be advisory.
The new group would make sugges
tions to the Union's manager who would
make the final decisions. He would then
take these decisions before a "review
and determination committee," said Ross
paper. This committee would consist of
the vice chancellor for financial affairs,
the business manager, the director of the
Student Union, and the dean of Student
Affairs.
In his recommendations to the board's
subcommittee on reorganization, Ross
suggested that "a constitution for this
group would be desirable."
Dean Ross noted that "Subsequent
statements will be needed to further de
fine roles and relationships of staff, stu
dents, etc."

Final Exam Schedule
Is Same Next Year
The Faculty Senate voted
Tuesday to keep the same fi
nal examination schedule in
the calendar year 1964-65 as
is presently being followed.
Known as TJalendar C, the
plan schedules classes to be
gin Monday, Sept. 21 with
commencement to be held the
next spring on June 12. It al
lows eight days for finals with
three hours for each test at
the end of both semesters. '
Calendar C was the plan
that the Student Council rec
ommended as its first choice
to the Faculty Senate nb
committee on calendars ear
lier this spring. The subcom
mittee discussed the calen
dars and suggested Calendar
C as its -third choice.
After re-lettering by the
sub-committee, Plan A called
for five days of finals with
two hour tests and Plan B
called for no designated finals
week but with finals being
held the last week of classes
if the professor wished. No
more than two one hour finals
could be given in that week.
Student Council's rec
ommendations on all three
plans were in -the following
order: C, B, A. The faculty
sub-committee sent them to
the Senate in the following
order: A, B, C. The Senate
passed Calendar C.
It includes a two-w e e k
Christmas vacation, three
and a half days for Thanks
giving' vacation, one week for
Spring vacation and two half
days to Spring Day and Ivy
Day. These last two are ap
plicable only to undergradu
ate students.

IFC's Constitution
May Be Changed
'Survey Thorough'
iCEff
A spokesman for the Ne
braska State Committee on
Educational Television last
week disagreed with Oma
ha School Supt. Paul Mil
ler's statement that a re
study of the proposed state
ETV network is needed.
Jack McBride, co-chairman
of the State Commit
1 tee, said the network was
thoroughly examined in a
15-month survey, upon the
mandate of the 1961 Legis
lature and under the direc
tion of an 18 member governor-appointed
committee.
'The Committee obtained
$24,000 from private
sources, including chambers
f commerce, Nebraska in
dustries, PTA chapters, and
Individual citizens, to em
ploy the most professional
consultants and authorities,
in the field to conduct the
survey," he said.
The engineering firm of
Jansky and Bailey of Wash
ington, D. C, is recognized
as a national authority on
broadcast engineering, as is
Dr. John C. Schwarzwalder
ftesfiiifv Afs6
cny$
of St. Paul, Minn., an au
thority on educational broad
casting, who served as chief
consultant to the Nebraska
survey, he explained.
"Other consultants in
cluded an officer of Nation
al Association of Education
al Broadcasters and a mem
ber of National Educational
Television and Radio Cen
ter. "The survey was t h o r-
ougb, comprehensive, and
it kept at all times the
educational needs of the
state in mind, including
those of Omaha, McBride
stressed.
The consultants traveled
the state interviewing hun
dreds of educators, civic
leaders, and public officials,
and field work was conduct
ed throughout the state, he
said.
"Being the most populous,
the city of Omaha was,
prominent in the thinking
of the consultants. In fact,
the first stage of the net
work development involves
bringing ETV to the metro
politan area of Omaha, in
cluding interconnection with
the existing studios at the
University of Omaha. Oma
ha would be, along with the
University of Nebraska, one
of two points in the early
phases of the network to
originate broadcasts.
"Omaha would also get
every bit as much service
as any other portion of the
state. Supt. Miller's oppo
sition implies that Omaha
should get more."
The 1961 Legislature, Mc
Bride said, requested 6tudy
of the "orderly and efficient
development of educational
television for students and
adults."
The development of Oma
ha ETV channel 16 as sug
gested by Supt. Miller is.
an addition to the state, net
work and therefore would
duplicate the network's cov
erage and increase the cost
of ETV to Nebraska, Mc
Bride said.
However, if the Omaha
Public School System wish-
es to bear the cost of ac
tivating Channel 16, the
State Committee would wel
come its interconnection to
the proposed network, Mc
Bride added.
McBride explained that
the network will not elimin
ate further ETV develop
ments by individual schools
in the state, it merely seeks
to provide a 6tate-wide net
work at the least cost to
the citizens of the state.
"With such a system,
Omaha schools can, through
the network, join in the se
lection of TV teachers and
courses and bring the bene
fits of its experience and
talent to the rest of the
state, and in turn benefit
from other communities,
also endowed with outstand
ing educators."
McBride added that addi
tional time spent on dupli
cating the present study
may jeopardize the channels
reserved at Alliance, North
Platte, Bassett, Albion and
Lexington, ail reserved by
the FCC for educational
purposes.
The Interfraternity Council
was presented with a revi
sion of its constitution last
night by its judicial commit
tee. The plan of the judicial
committee this year, accord
ing to Doug Thom, chairman,
was to shorten the actual con
stitution and make it into a
skeleton framework, into
which could be slipped a sep
arate and easily revisable set
of by-laws.
"Most of the changes that
have been made are minor,"
said Bin Buckley, president
of the IFC. Buckley noted
that In regard to the constitu
tion, the main work done was
simply a rearrangement of
the order in which the difier
ent parts of the constitution
was set up.
Changes in the constitution
were slight, but there were
some revisions made in the
newly formed set of by-laws.
For instance, those men who
graduate from high school in
the lower one-half of their
graduating class may not par
ticipate in Rush- Week, until
they have earned at least a
5.0 average at the University.
Other innovations included
reports on pledge sneaks, col
onization of fraternities not
presently on the campus, and
pre-Help week reports.
The actual adoption or re
jection of the entire constitu
tion will take place next
week, according to Buckley.

The IFC was also presented
with a report on Pledge Train
ing in the fraternities which
was compiled by the Jr. IFC's
Pledge Training Committee.
The report, which was pre
sented by Kip Hirschbach,
chairman, gave the ideas
which the fraternity pledges
of this year considered should
be incorporated into a pledge
training program.
The report summed vp the j
general answer to the ques
tion: 'mat is your definition
of pledge training?" as fol
lows: "A program designed
to acquaint the pledge with
the lore,- customs, and his
tory of his fraternity . . . how
to gain a mutual understand
ing of his fellow men . . .
period in which the pledge is
taught responsibility . . . per
sonality development.
The report noted that some
of the desirable facets of
their pledge training pro
grams were efficient and con
structive scholarship p r o
grams, the development of
social graces and responsibil
ity, and the development of
leadership.
Scholarship programs in
the various fraternities, noted
the report, usually consisted
of such items as posting of
grades, required study skills
courses, tutoring systems,
enforced class attendance
and extra study balls for
those men receiving "down"
hours.
Dennis Christie, chairman
of the scholarship committee,
noted that only about ten
men had turned in their ap
plications for his proposed
freshman tutoring program
to be initiated next year. He
said that the program would
go into effect anyway.
This program is designed
to help incoming freshmen in
the areas of usual difficulty.
Typical courses for which tu
tors are being sought, are
English, math and chemis
try. YR's Recognized

Sheldon Gallery
Ready To Open
By SUSAN SMmiBURGEIt
Nebraskan Staff Writer
"I think it swings," said
Architect Philip Johnson, of
his own Sheldon Art Gallery
at a press conference last
night "I'm not the type
to dislike my work. I'm crazy
about it."
There is always a refer
ence back to the Great Hall,
through two rooms without
he continued. You cant go
through two rooms without
being able to look back on
the place that you started.
You just don't get that lost
feeling, like you're trapped
behind a mummy and don't
know which way to turn.
"Another of the features el
the Gallery is the carpeting
on the walls in the permanent
art gallery," said the archi
tect. "I designed 6 galleries
before I hit on it. It scatters
the light, makes little shad
ows and doesn't leave marks
when pictures are removed
I like it so well I even car
peted the walls of my home.
It gives a richness without
disturbing the pictures."
"The lighting in the Gallery
is tremendous," said John
son. "The height, angle and
concealment of lights show1
off the pictures perfectly.
They shine on the lower part
of the wall, at picture level
again featuring the pictures.
We could never have done it
without the tremendous light
ing engineer we had."
"But the most important
fact of the museum is Mrs.
Sheldon, emphasized the
slight, elderly man. The will
of this woman made the mu
seum. She wanted to build for
art in Nebraska. She didn't
care' how big it was, she just
wanted it to be beautiful."
The spry architect led news
men a merry chase as he
scurried around posing for
pictures, pointing out high
lights, directing workmen,
critically calling for lights to
be turned down, brought up.
There was a gleam of pride in
his eye.
"I'm going to come back
every six months to examine
the building," said Johnson,
"and watch it become more
beautiful as the dirt fills in
the cracks and holes in the
marble to add another dimen
sion to the outside walls. I
have a passion for carved
stone."
Johnson sighed a sigh of
relief as he said, "I didn't
think it could be done. When
they mentioned dedicating it
at this time I thought it
would be fine to have Dr.
Stanton speak but dedication,
no. I thought it would have
to be held in a half finished
shack. But thanks to one of
the best building crews in
the world, well make iL
They're a meticulous crew
and it shows."
Sheldon Art Gallery dedica
tions were held at U a.m.
this morning before 300 in
vited guests, including Gov.
Frank Morrison, Dr. B. N.
Greenberg, president of the
Board of Regents and Mrs.
A. B. Sheldon of Lexington.
Dr. Frank Stanton, presi
dent of Columbia Broadcast
ing System, will speak on
"The Museum and the Mass
Media."
This evening the Universi
ty Faculty is invited to an
open house in the Gallery.
Students may view the Gal
lery at an open house for
them tomorrow from 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m. Members of the Ne
braska Art Association will
view the Gallery tomorrow
evening and it will be opened
to the public on Saturday and
Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.
