GOLDWATER '. . . Group backs conservative.
Marr Supports Goldwater
Charles Marr, state chairman of Nebraska Youth for
Goldwater, announced Tuesday that a Youth for Goldwa
ter movement has been formed on the campus of the Uni
versity of Nebraska and will hold its first meeting Tues
day, Sept. 31 at 7 p.m. in the Pan-American room of the
Nebraska Student Union. The meeting will be highlighted
by a talk by Jim Harff, a former chairman of the Na
tional Young Republicans. Also on the agenda will be Sen
ator Goldwater's speech that was delivered at the National
Young Republicans convention in June in which Senator
Goldwater attacks liberalism as being reactionary. Accord
ing to Marr, the Youth for Goldwater movement was or
ganized to inform the students and faculty that Senator
Goldwater best represents the desires of youth for a bet
ter future. The group plans to study the economic and
political philosophy of Senator Goldwater and his oppon
ents, through tapes, films, and speeches so students will
be well informed on both sides. Marr also announced that
bumper stickers will be given away today at the Upper
Class Activities Mart. Similiar Youth for Goldwater move
ments have already been initiated at both Omaha Uni
versity and Doane College.
Hardin forecasts
20,000 Enrollment
Chancellor Clifford M. Har
din told members of the Uni
versity of Nebraska faculty
Tuesday evening that the in
stitution they serve is grow-
in? into a maior center of
a m
higher education.
A total enrollment of 20,000
or more is an approaching re
ality which we must be pre
pared to accommodate.
The Chancellor spoke to 400
staff members at the faculty
homecoming dinner, held
this year at the Nebraska
Center for Continuing Educa
tion. Herecalleda quotation
from his second address to a
University faculty in 1955
when, be said, "on our own
campuses during the early
1960's we very well may ex
pect 12,000 students as com
pared with the present 7,600."
"This is 1963," the Chan
cellor said, "and it now looks
as though we did not overesti
mate our long-term rate of
growth. We are still a little
snon oi uie i,uuu mu&, uui
we are coming close.
- In a review of the Universi
ty since 1955, the Chancellor
noted these developments:
... A near doubling of the
University's current funds
budget composed of total rev
enuesfrom $11.5 million to
?21 million.
... Steady growth of gradu
ate education.
. . . Construction of the Ne
braska Center and inaug
uration of growing program
in continuing education.
... An appreciable reduc
tion in the undergraduate
dropout rate.
. . . Attraction of more of
the state's topflight high
school graduates. This year
51 of the state's top 100 high
school graduates are enrolled
at the University compared
with 33 last year and lesser
numbers earlier.
. . . Improved working rel
tionships with Nebraska high
schools.
. . . Closer cooperation be
tween the Umversity and oth
er Nebraska colleges and uni
versities.
. . . Participation in interna
tional educational programs
through University operations
in Turkey and an exchange
agreement with El Colegio de
Mexico.
. . . Early participation and
subsequent state leadership in
educational television.
. . . Further development of
a Nebraska medical center
served by the College of Medi
cine and the Eppley Institute
for Cancer Research.
The Chancellor expressed
"gratitude that the legislature
is beginning to recognize the
need for faculty salary adjust
ments as related to quality."
"This recognition," he said,
"suggests that we are begin
ning to get the answer many
of us have awaited ... the
answer that Nebraska really
wants a first-rate University
and that with time and work
and patience, it shall have
it."

Senior Staff Writer
University of Nebraska Re
gents Monday gave approval
to a variety of proposed cam
pus improvement projects tot
aling an estimated $497,000,
including acquisition of ap
proximately six acres of Lin
coln property near 17th and
Vine as the construction site
for a new 960-student dormi
tory. Business Manager Carl Don
aldson said plans for the dorm
itory, similar in design to the
newly-completed twin towers,
are in the final stages of de
velopment and may be ready
for bids within a month.
The new dormitory, to ac
commodate men students, will
be a single housing unit of 13
floors plus dining facilities. It
will be located north 01 v ine
and front on the east side of
17th.
Acqusition of the construc
'". :i site, approved Monday by
the Resents, involves the pur
chase of two plots, one of
about 4.2 acres from the KocK
Island railroad for $115,000,
the other, a little over 2 acres
fronting on 17th, from the Abel
Investment Co., for $80,000.
Purchase of the land will
be made with dormitory sys
tem revenues. Construction
will be financed by revenue
bonds which the University is
already authorized to negoti
ate. Other campus development
projects approved by the Re
gents: Accentance of a low bid
of $38,314 from the Olson Con
struction Company to improve
the front entrance setting for
the Sheldon Memorial Art Gal
lery. The project includes the
construction of an 18-foot wide
walkway a block long in the
center of 12th street in front
of the building. The walk will
be reinforced to permit use
by fire-fighting equipment in
event of emergency but will
not be open to motor vehicle
traffic.
What is now the brick paved
street between the Gallery
and the Social Science build
ings to the east will be torn up.
Donaldson said ripping out the
present sidewalk bordering
12th St. on the east also is
part of the plan.
Permanent closing of 12th
street fits into the long-range
NU master plan to cut down
through traffic within the
campus.
The aim, said Donaldson, is
to provide internal drives
which lead mostly to auto
parking places.
An agreement to trade
fractional lots with Alpha
Chi Omega, a sorority, contin
gent upon additional payment
of $1,000 by the sorority. The
property is near 18th and Vine.
An agreement to swap
University-owned proper
ty north of Huntington Avenue
near the Ag Campus for an
equal area owned by the Om
aha, Lincoln and Beatrice
Railway Company south of
Huntington. The trade will
enable the University to con
solidate its land holdings south
of Huntington.
University Nixes
All College Nights
By FRANK PARTSCH
Junior Staff Writer
Upperclassmen returning to
the University this year have
noticed the absence of two
events considered traditions in
the past: the parade accom
panying the first pep rally and
the College Night Dance.
Vice Chancellor G. Robert
Ross explained Tuesday that
the University received a re
port from the Lincoln Police
Department and many com
plaints from parents of stu
dents concerning the College
Night Dance last year. The po
lice said that the dance was
overcrowded, that liquor laws
were violated, and that a com-
I bination of these resulted in a

STUCK BETWEEN FLOORS Because the elevators in Twin Tower stop only on
odd-numbered floors, students with rooms on even-numbered floors must walk up or
down at least one flight of stairs. Here freshmen Virginia Wimmer and Candace Toelle
enlist the aid of dubious Junior Loren Penkava to get to the second floor.
Dorm Residents Get Exercise
Many residents in Pound
and Cather Halls are com
plaining that they are invol
untarily joining the Presi
dent's physical fitness pro
gram by walking up and down
stairs because the elevators
stop only on odd-numbered
floors. Those living on even
numbered floors must walk a
flight to catch an elevator.
The purpose of putting them
only on half of the floors is to
save time and money," said
W. C. Harper, director of Uni
versity Services. He pointed
out that only half as many
stops had to be built, saving

the University a great deal of
money.
"It would take the students
a lot longer to get from their
top floors if the elevators had
to stop at every floor,"
Wayne T. Kuncl, director of
Cather Hall, noted.
"I really haven't heard
many complaints about the
situation now that students
have gotten adjusted to it,"
he said. "Moving in was our
greatest worry and it seemed
to move smoothly."
Harper pointed out that stu
dents in other living units
have to walk farther as there
are no elevators. The girls liv
ing on fourth floor of Piper
Hall have to walk up all four
flights.
There are no plans to cnange
the situation, at least not in
the near future, said Harper.
However, the same plan will
Reporters Sought

probably not be used on fu
ture buildings, he added.
The length of the lunch lines
has been another controversial
subject in the new dorms.
Harper pointed out that near
ly 1,200 students are being
senod in an hour and a half,
which is faster than the old
serving lines.
"Our main problems is that
of adjustment," said Harper.
"Whenever there are new sit
uations or new students,
it takes a little longer, but
after the first few weeks the
students get used to the pro
cess and the time is cut down
considerably.
Lending Library
Will Provide Art
Students wishing to "spruce"
their living quarters may
borrow pictures from the
Art Lending Library today
and tomorrow m the U n i 0 n
Music Room A from 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m. The Lending Library
will be held in the Ag Union
Monday and Tuesday.
More than 300 pictures will
be loaned for the semester.
Students must pay one dollar
deposit. This will be returned
when the pictures are re
turned in January. Students
will be responsible for any
extensive damage.
Several pictures have been
bought since last semester.

chairman, including several
from the student art sale held
last spring.
traffic hazard when the dance
was over.
As a result, Ross said, tht
University was forced to take
action. Following a meeting of
the advisors of the Interfra
ternity Council and Panhell
enic Council, Helen Snyder
Dean of Women, Frank M.
Hallgren, Director of the
Placement Division, and Ross,
a letter was sent to the presi
dents of all fraternities and
sororities on campus.
The letter emphasizes that
College Night is not a Univer
sity function and that it has
not met University standards
in the past. It states that
"the University cannot permit
this activity, and groups which
support it in any way will be
considered in violation."
Boyd Waddle, owner of East
Hills Country Club, said that
his manager had been ap
proached by several students
trying to hold a College Night
dance, but that they were re
fused. Waddle said that East
Hills holds a liquor-by-the-drink
license and any large
party involving minors would
certainly put this license in
jeopardy.
Ross said that the Student
Affairs Office supports the de
cision of the Corn Cobs and
Tassels not to hold the parade.
He added that the Universi
ty has taken no action prohi
biting the parade, and that he
thought the organizers of the
parade were wise in their de
cision. Several students were
injured in scuffling which ac
companied this parade last
year.
Bill Alschwede, president of
Corn Cobs, said that organiza
tional difficulties caused by
the lateness of the University
opening and the comparative
earliness of the first game and
pep rally were largely behind
the decision.
The fact that there was no
parade this year, according to
Alschwede, has no bearing on
parades in the future, and
that, as the situation exists
now, the Corn Cobs and Tas
sels will decide each year
when planning the pep rally.
Union Seal
Twenty Five Years Old
In celebration of their 25th
anniversary, the Nebraska
Union will give away free
candy bars with each fifty
cents purchase made in the
Crib cafeteria, Ag Dell- bar
ber shop or at the main

assistant director of Ne
braska Union, said that
some similar observance of
the 25th year will be made
on the 25th day of each
month during the year. Any
special event sponsored by
the Union will be given the
25th anniversary seal. Any
extraordinarily good pro
gram prepared by a Union
committee will receive this
seal, said Barnes.
