Valuable Art
Protects
Obiects
The physical beauty of the
marble and bronze Sheldon
Art Gallery often obscures
the fact that the building is
far more valuable in protect
ing the University's art col
lection than in showing it off,
Prior to the opening of Shel
don, the paintings more than
$1,000,000 worth hung in the
open third floor corridors of
Morrill Hall. Several thefts
during the last two years
pointed out the danger of this
arrangement. Although the
art work was guarded, the
thieves were able to remove
several valuable paintings
from the building.
Two of the stolen paintings
were recovered in early
September and returned to
the University. They were
Donne Castle, by Jasper
Cropsey, and Golden Age, by
Benjamin West. The two
paintings valued at more than
$2,500 were recovered in
Baltimore, Md. and returned
to the gallery by Thomas J
Gearty, special agent in
charge of the FBI office in
Omaha.
The original theory was that
the paintings had been re
moved as a prank, but inveS'
tigation proved that pro
fessionals were involved. A
Baltimore hospital attendant,
Charles A. Wenige, 28, was
charged in connection with in
terstate transportation of stol
en property.
Norman Geske, director of
Sheldon Art Gallery, an
nounced the recovery of a
third painting, Italian Land
scape, by George Inness, stol
en on September 17, 1961 and
valued at more than $2,000.
The painting had been mailed
from Baltimore and carried
what was apparently a ficti
cious return address.

Ag Union
Head Post
To Hester
Ag Nebraska Union will be
under the directorship this
fall of Jim Hester, new gen
eral director for, Union activ
ities on Ag campus.
As campus assistant of the
Nebraska Union manager Al
Bennet, Hester will be in
charge of all Ag Union opera
tions.
Hester is a 1961 graduate of
Colorado State University,
where he also served as Stu
dent Union assistant manager
for two years. He and his wife
have two children.
Many changes have been
made in the Union this sum
mer, according to Hester, in
cluding the complete redecora-
tion of the Delle and the man
ager's office, along with space
being reserved for the perma
nent game room, which offers
ping-pong and billiard tables,
plus space for playing cards.
The only legitimate reason
for having a Union, according
to Hester, is to provide serv
ice: service for students, fac
ulty, and visitors in any area
and every area in which a
need is known.
Union activities provide a
framework for developing a
campus spirit, plus a chance
for student leaders to evolve.
The new manager said only
the Union can fulfill this
unique need.
One of Hester's goals for the
future is improved Delle food
service, with the addition of a
wider range of foods and per
haps a complete hot meal
available in the evening.

PTP Sends
First Student
Ambassadors
The University's People-to-
People organization exists for
the purpose of promoting clos
er friendships between Amer
ican and international stu
dents. With this purpose in mind,
two NU students spent their
summer as Student Ambassa
dors in Europe and two went
to Europe on the PTP's Em
ployment Exchange Program.
Linda Reno, senior, and Ed
Novak, junior, were the Stu
dent Ambassadors and Brian
Peterson, junior, and Rick
Reed, senior, went on the Em
ployment Exchange Program.
Conscious of their role as
Student Ambassadors, Miss
Reno and Novak sought to cul
tivate friendships in any
place, at any time.
As members of the employ
in e n t exchange, Peterson
and Reed worked in jobs with
peoples in other countries
with the hope that this might
help develop mutual and inter
national understanding
through personal contact with
European university and col
lege students.
Athletic Ticket Head
Will Address Group
By SUSAN SMITHBURGER
Senior Staff Writer
The Student Council today
tabled a motion calling for as
surance that a repition of this
year's seating problem for
football games not recur in
the future.
Doug Thom made a motion
to table the motion because
James Pittenger, athletic
ticket manager, will speak to
the Council at their next meet
ing. The ticket motion, presented
by David Kittams, stated
that:
Wheareas the student body
is an integral part of the Uni
versity of Nebraska commu
nity and;
Whereas the students agreed
this year to pay a higher
price for football tickets and;
Whereas the student body
would like to support their fel
low students, the football
team;
Therefore the Student Coun
cil, as the representatives of
the student body, recommends
that a repitition of this year's
seating problem not recur and
that in the future all students
be allowed to purchase season
tickets in stadium proper. We
also ask that the proper au
thority in the near future issue
a policy statement to this ef
fect, insuring for all future
members of the University
community appropriate seat
ing for Nebraska football.
J. Winston Martin, Asso
ciate Dean of Student Affairs,
challenged the Council to be
concerned for individuals in
their decision making pro
cesses. The Student Council
must be sensitive to the in
dividual's need to feel a part
of the decision making, said
the deaa.
Martin said that his posi
tion has been viewed with
suspect. He said that it is in
teresting to read the Daily
Nebraskan and feel things
are tightening up.
"It rather disturbs me,"
said Martin, "What is happen
ing is that opportunities are
being made available for re
sponsibility by members of
the student body. None are
free to make all decisions, we
must work within our frames
of context."

"We do not need beatniks
or seekers of truth," said Su
san Stanley, 1963-64 editor of
Scrip, the University's under
graduate literary magazine,
as she begins her search for
material for the fall semester
issue.
What we are looking for Is
poetry, short stories, and es
says by our own under grad
uates. The majority of en
tries for the spring 1963 is
sue were from underclass
men who had never had ma
terial published, she pointed
out.
"There is nothing wrong
with being a literary maga
zine," said the editor. "There
is no reason
for a maga
zine such as
ours to be
mor bid or

cularly sol

Sciences, was appointed to

He pointed out that the Stu
dent Council is the most im
portant facet and is involved
in the most decisions. "The
kind of leadership the Coun
cil gives determines the re
sponse by students," said
Martin. "Student Council sets
the tone for all students parti
cipating in activities."
Martin expressed gratitude
for a gracious reception when
he came to the University end
said he hoped he could re
ciprocate by providing th
kind of assistance needed by
students.
Curt Siermers, activities d
rector, explained the purposes
of his position. He said that
his office would be handling fi

zations, campus calendar and

He will at times be advising

improvement was the main
point but that the Council

dent, "if it has a purpose."

Ohio Fraternities
Get Quality Men
Athens, O. (I.P.)-Ohio Uni-
versity's fraternities are get
ting quality men, not average
men, according to Dean of
Students William Butler.
"When we initiated the de
ferred pledge system in 1954,
we were propaDiy ten years
ahead of the other schools,"
he added.
Dean Butler pointed to sta
tistics from the last three
years which show that the
men who have pledged have
an average of 2.5 as compared
with the 2.0, which is required
to pledge.
More important, Dean But
ler said, is that the fraterni
ties initiate 75 per cent of their
pledges as compared with the
35 per cent average around
the nation.
