K. Kellogg Foundation of Bat tle Creek, Mich. Dean Ralph L. Ireland of the College of Dentistry said the two-year program will begin next fall with an enter ing class of 20 students. Designed to give the student a certificate after two years, the curriculum will primarily provide knowledge of the den tal science and proficiency in the clinical practice of dental hygiene. The grant will finance a staff of one dental hygienist as director, a fulltime staff member to supervise clinical teaching, and part-time hy gienists, allowing for a ration of one instructor for every 10-12 students. The curriculum will also consist of courses in human anatomy, physiology, chemis try, microbiology, English, so ciology, psychology, speech, health, first aid, nutrition, and pharmacology. Dr. Ireland said the greater portion of the grant will be used for purchasing clinical and laboratory equipment for the program. He noted that the two-y ear curriculum would also serve as a basis to those students Regents To Consider Seating In Stadium Results of a study on add ing about 6,000 seats to Mem orial Stadium are expected to be presented to the Univer sity board of Regents soon, Candy Wheeler MISS RUSH WEEK -Candy Wheeler, Delta Gam ma pledge, was chosen Miss Rush Week of 1963 at the Sigma Phi Epsilon dance Saturday night.

Utah Group Greeks Are A University of Utah com mittee has made recommen dations based upon the belief that the "fraternities and so rorities at the University are an important part of the com munity, that they make sub stantial contribution to the educational experiences of students, and that specific kinds of actions need be taken by the faculty, administration, students, parents, and alumni If the potential contribution of fraternities and sororities is o tw realized." The committee's report recommended that: A Continuing Advisory Committee on fraternities and sororities be approved by the president representing stu dents, alumni, and faculty. A closer working relation ship be developed between the University and fraterni ties in regard to their finan cial operations and that great er alumni participation in the financial affairs of chapters be encouraged. In addition to a renewed emphasis on scholarship, In terfraternity Council, Panhel- wmuimjimimmmmummm i iimuiiiiii i in . .nii.iu ftj ; A n who wish to continue toward undergraduate college in the University. Dr. Ireland pointed out the need for a dental hygienist pro gram by showing that there are only 16 hygienists practic ing in the state about one for every 56 dentists. A recent survey in Nebraska, he said, indicated that some 165 grad uating high school girls were interested in attending a den tal hygienist school. The University has the only dental college in the Big 8 Conference and with the ex ception of California, Oregon, Washington and Minnesota, it is the only dental school lo cated in states to the west and north of Nebraska. The gift from the W. K. Kel logg Foundation is the second largest grant in the past five years. In 1958, the Founda tion gave the University $1.5 tion of the Nebraska Centerr for Continuing Education. In other action, the Board: of Regents: Approved a contractual amendment with the Agency for International Develop ment, extending for two more years the University's assist ance for the development of the University of Ataturk, in eastern Turkey. The amend ment calls for the payment of $647,950 for the next two years. possibly even this afternoon. Today will be the first public meeting of the board since July. Regent Clarence Swanson of Lincoln said Athletic Direct or William H. (Tippy) Dye has been studying the ques tion for months, but Swanson isn't certain the matter is yet ready to pop before the en tire board. Ticket manager James Pit tenger said 17,000 season tick ets were sold for this year's Husker home games. He guessed he "could have sold another 3-4,000 more," had space been available. (All home games remaining are sold out.) Dye has said that the 6,000 seats, plus or minus a few hundred, could be placed in front of the east and west stadiums. This would require the removal of the running track and the drop ping of the football field 15 to 18 feet (similar to the recent stadium expansion at the Uni versity of Kansas). (Continued on Page 7), Thinks Valuable lenic, individual fraternities and sororities and University personnel work for a special emphasis on programs which would be esthetically enrich ing for the fraternity or so rority member, exploiting more fully the fraternity's po tential role as a cultural agent. President of the Board of Regents establish a committee to study legal as pects of fraternities and so rorities being housed on Uni versity property, site location, sity property, site location, site developmnet, types of housing, methods of financng (including donations from fra ternity alumni), and the es tablishment of a time table for construction in order to determine the conditions under which fraternities and sorori ties could move on campus. Further consideration be made by Interfraternity Coun cil, Panhellenic, and the Dean of Students office of the con sequences of inactive mem bership as related to finances, leadership, group unity and personal hardship. ; Kisrais T Since the program began in 1955, the U.S. government has now paid the University a total of $3,233,000 for its ef forts in the Turkish program. Accepted a grant of $19, 798 from the U.S. Office of Education for the support of a symposium on teaching machines, educational tele vision and other audio-visual equipment, under the direc tion of Dr. W. C. Meierhenry, assistant dean of Teachers College. Approved the awarding of a certificate to students who have completed a prescribed six-year program in school administration. It will be called a "Certificate of Spe cialization in Administration and Supervision." Accepted a painting from tne bamuel H. Kress Founda tion, by Michelangelo Cara- vaggio entitled "Saints Peter and Paul." Earlier, the Foundation gave the Univer sity 10 paintings, which will be used for teaching purposes NU Officials Investigating Apartments As part of a move to pro' vide the undergraduate stu dent with an atmosphere con ducive to his education, fresh man and sophomore students under the age of twenty-one living in off-campus apart ments must now have their housing approved. Ronald Wright, housing of ficer, said tnat as soon as registration is completed University officials will be gin checking the addresses of freshmen and sophomores who are living with parents or relatives. All such apartments will be inspected and rated. Occupants of apart ments rated unsatisfactory will be required to move into either approved apartments or off-campus "sleeping rooms. A sleeping room is approx imately a 12 by 14 ft. room containing a bed, desk and bathroom facilities. Meal tickets may be obtained for either the Student Union or Selleck Quadrangle. Wright commented that it is the lack of supervision of student activity present in many apartment situations that concerns University of ficials most. Wright added that where supervision is rig idly enforced by the landlord, conditions are apt to be more healthful and advantageous to the student's educational program, He said that such supervision should be similar to that found in a dormitory. The standards for approval are found in the Student Housing Code adopted by the Board of Regents in 1958. The Housing' Code establishes minimum standards govern ing the conditions and main tenance of dwellings essential to make them safe, sanitary and fit for occupancy by stu dents. The Code is now in effect and will reach full im plementation by Sept. 1, 1965. Wright remarked: "The on ly authority we have over private property is to say whether students can live in it or not. It is lip to the own er to make the necessary im provements." Dr. G. Robert Ross, dean of Student Affairs, said that he did not anticipate much resistance to the program. He pointed out that the ob jectives, of the program are to both meet the Housing Code requirements and to make housing an important part of the total education of a student. He added that the begin ning student should find a place where he can integrate his activity into the total ac tivity of the campus. The apartment ruling is designed primarily for this beginning student. The Daily Nebraskan Cigaret Ads Cancelled By Most Firms With the exception Of one company, cigaret firms will no longer advertise in f. the Daily Nebraskan or any other college newspaper. ? Most of the major cigaret manufacturers have decided to stop advertising in college magazines and football pro grams as well as newspapers, The manufacturers of Marl- boros will continue to adver tise as in past years. The reason, according to V. Edward Canale of the Nation al Advertising Service, Inc., is that "Cigaret companies are being subjected to unre lenting pressures by certain organizations and antl-cigaret forces." In a letter to college news paper staffs and faculty ad visers Mr. Canale made two observations: (1) In the June 20 issue of the New York Times, the same one carrying a story on cigaret makers dropping their college ads, the American Medical Association refused to take a stand against smoking; (2) College students are not given the same opportunities to judge for themselves, as is the case with non-college students of the same ages. In the front-page article of the same Issue of the New York Times, George V. Allen, president of the Tobacco Insti tute, confirmed the decisions of the cigaret makers. Allen said, "The industry's position has always been that smoking is an adult custom. To avoid any confusion or misconcep tion in the public mind as to this position, a number of member companies of the To bacco Institute, I understand, have each decided to discon tinue college advertising and promotional activities." The Tobacco Institute in cludes companies manufac turing 99 per cent of the cig arets, pipe and chewing tobac co and snuff produced in the United States. Ten New Mothers Assume Positions This fall five fraternities and four sororities have new house mothers and Louise Pound Residence Hall has its first Resident Director. Francis Holman, of St. Louis, Mo., has assumed duties as Resident Director of Louise Pound Resident Hall, Last year she attended Wash ington University In St. Louis where she received her mast ers degree in counseling and guidance. All five of the new sorority housemothers are beginning their first year as housemoth ers. They are: Mrs. Alta Col lier, Denver, Colo., Alpha Phi; Mrs. Ceola Heine, Fremont, Kappa Delta; Mrs. Marie Lowe, San Diego, Calif., Alpha Delta PI; and Mrs. Ruth Stuart, Minneapolis, Minn., Pi Beta Phi. Two of the five new frater nity housemothers have had previous experience at t h e i r obs. Mrs. Gertrude Thomas at the Phi Gamma Delta house was a housemother in the Uni versity's Women's Residence Halls and Mrs. Margaret Paus- tiantian at the Alpha Gamma Rho house was formerly a housemother at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colo. The other new fraternity housemothers are: Mrs. Agnes Hakle, Omaha, Sigma Nu; Mrs. Eula Kerr, Hamburg, la., Sigma Alpha Epsilon; and Mrs. Allie Mae Patterson, Lin coln, Kappa Sigma, i NU Debate Winners Will Vie At Big 8 Bowl Competition A College Quiz Bowl at Ne braska is one of the main goals of Student Council and Nebraska Union this year, ac cording to Dennis Christie, Student Council president. Interested living units and organizations may choose can didates to participate In . de bate competition. The debate topics will be chosen by the Quiz Bowl Committee. From the competitors, four repre- senatives will be chosen to represent Nebraska at the Big Eight Quiz Bowl. Before the Quiz Bowl can become a reality a committee must be set up to establish the rules, procedures, topics for debate and judges. Letters have been sent to living unit presidents to send representa tives to an orientation ses sion. From these representa tives, the committee will be chosen. Actual participation Paper's Editor To Tell Policies In order to explain the Daily Nebraskan's policies concerning scheduling stor ies and working with public relations chairmen of stu dent organizations, the pap er will hold a coffee tomor row at 6:45 p.m. in 334 Stu dent Union. Gary Lacey, editor of the Daily Nebraskan, will ex plain the policies and an swer any questions public relations chairmen may have. All publicity chairmen of campus organizations and activities are invited to attend. Largest Student Demand Tops Ticket Expectations Student demand for season football tickets has surpassed all expectations and has wiped out by about 300 seats a 10 increase in the num ber of stadium places re served to accommodate stu dent purchasers, Jim Pitteng er, Husker ticket manager said Sunday night. Pittenger said the record rush of student ticket orders forces greater reliance on the "lottery system" of allocat ing student seats than in the past but he emphasized that no student will be denied the opportunity to see any home game. "T h e overwhelming de he mand for student tickets,' said, "means that we will have to allocate all available stadium seats on a lottery basis. It is the only fair way to distribute the 7,550 stadium seats reserved for students." When the stadium seat res ervations are exhausted through operation of the lot tery drawing, Pittenger said students who remain un served will be offered these alternatives: They may accept a HALL HALL. U 9t. tftl l J 9 it "If 7wv City-Ag begin second 'The first meeting of the Student Council will be held Wednesday in the Pan Ameri can room of the Student Union. It is open to the student body, according to Christie J. Winston Martin, associate dean of student affairs, and Christie will speak to the group. The public issues committee will be one of the most in volved this year, said the Council's president. They will take issues out of council's hand and direct them to in terested organizations. These organizations may then com pile the pros and cons of the issue and present them before Council. It is hoped that this will give the Council a better and more complete idea, of the controversies of the issue, said Christie. It is hoped it will also create more interest on the part of the students and give a better informed student body. The Council elections com mittee will be working closely with the constitutional evalua tion committee in evaluating the election processes for Stu dent Council and other elec tions sponsored by Student Council. It will be the job of the latter committee to work over the Student Council con stitution and recommend de letions or reinterpret the pres ent constitution. "The work of the present Council will be more to im prove the present committees and projects than to start new ones," said Christie. The Masters Program, initiated bleacher seat in a special re served area immediately to the north of the East Stadium for $6. The student stadium seat price is $10. If the student does not wish to accept a bleacher seat, he will receive a full re fund of any ticket money he has advanced. This means that students who paid $10 before the South Dakota State game had the opportunity to see that game for nothing. The job of allocating stu dent tickets this year, Pitten ger said, was complicated by the fact that the first home game was played before the opening of classes. "We reserved student seats on the assumption that the University's enrollment in crease would result in no more than a 10 increase in the demand for student sea son tickets," he said. "This guess has been upset by the fact that a much larger pro portion of the student body than ever before wants to buy season tickets." Here is a summary of the procedure which Pittenger said will be followed in allo cating student seats: The lottery for the alloca HoiDRse Campus Bus will probably semester. Monday, Sept. 23, 1963 n - r last Spring, has been evalu ated and will be expanded. Graduates of the University are being contacted now about the possibility of participating in the progr am. Curt Siemers, activities co ordinator, will be working closely with the activities committee in evaluating or ganizations and helping new organizations set up consti tutions. The organizations will be evaluated as to whether they are actually accomplish ing the purposes set forth in their constitutions. The other Student Council committees and a brief out line of their plans are: Associates committee will provide for more of a voice in the Council by the fresh men and sophomores working as associates. They will elect a secretary who will coordin ate their motions and present them to Glen Korff, associ ates chairman. Academic and Faculty Area will be divided into the areas of honors convocation, regis tration, scholarship and fi nancial aids. The public relations area will be working with publicity and student opinion. Pre-pub- licity on Council issues will play a major part in the stu dent opinion committee work. This will allow more student participation. The special area will be working with Nebraska stu dent governments, representa tion and Big Eight student government. . The student interest area is divided into the masters pro gram, Peace Corps, senators, parking, student welfare and Quiz Bowl. tion of student seats, a sys tem which has been used for several years, will be held in the Coliseum lobby on Tues day and Wednesday of this week, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. each day. Individual students wishing to draw for individual stadium seats, or students wishing to draw for a block of stadium seats to be used by a fratern ity, sorority, or other student group, should come to the Coliseum lobby on either of those days. Those who draw must have either their South Dakota game ticket (or tickets in the case of the bloc drawers) and student identification to match, or they must come with $10 in hand along with their ID cards. Each lottery participant will draw a number from a box. The number drawn will deter mine the order in which the participant's seat will be as signed. No assignment of seats, Fit tinger said, will be made until the drawings have been com (continued on page 3) 61R ft"? Hall, 1 Ly camp' Routes
