AN UNDERESTIMATE of
900 of the number of students
who would buy Cornhusker
football tickets for this season
caused the ticket office to put
this excess number in the
bleacher section. Student

to a committee and a special
meeting was called for Thurs

UNFAIR BUSINESS PRAC
TICES were said to be the
biggest problem of many fac

Grant Gregory, chairman of
the group. It joins fraternities
together as a cooperative bar

price spiral caused by some
local businesses will either
force current suppliers out of
existing bidding practices or
the houses will see the bene
fit of FMA and s u p p o r t it,
said Gregory."

Afl Fraternity Pledges
Trade Football Tickets
Three fraternity pledge
classes have voted to trade
tickets with three of the hous
es who drew in the lottery to
sit in the bleacher section.
The Acacia pledge class
voted Thursday evening to
give about 15 stadium tickets
for the Iowa State game to
the Pi Beta Phi seniors. In
stead of sitting with the Aca
cia block on the 40 yard line
the Acacia pledges will sit
in the Pi Phi block in the
Knothole section. According
to Janet Luschen.PiPhi presi
dent, "We seniors are indeed
grateful to the Acacia pledge
class. Their offer is very gen
erous."
A similar feat is being spon
sored by the Delta Upsilon
pledge class. About 19 of their
stadium seats are being giv
en to the members of Chi
Phi fraternity for the football
game Saturday. There are
enough tickets so both actives
and pledges may use the Delta
Upsilon seats on the 30 to 40
yard line. Clarke Stuckley,
Chi Phi social chairman, said
he was thrilled when he ac
cepted the offer.
Triangle fraternity will sit
in the grandstand at the Iowa
State game due to the action
fo four pledge clases. Pledges
of Alpha Xi Delta, Beta Theta
Pi, Delta Gamma and Theta

The Daily
By Susie Smithberger
Senior Staff Writer
A much quieter student
group gathered last night for
consideration of the football
seating problem by the Stu
dent Council Welfare commit
tee than yesterday invaded
Student Council.
Over 130 students were
present, many of the same
ones that had been ready for
battle the day before, to try
to work out a solution to the
problem .The committee and
Council officers had already
spent many hours poring ov
er the situation.
A plan to rotate students
sitting in the bleachers was
presented, whereby each of
about 500 students would sit
in the bleachers once but
would have stadium seats for
the rest of the games.
Dennis Christie, Council
president, pointed out that the
problem exists there is no
way to get more tickets. Some
one is going to have to sacri
fice somewhere; someone is
going to have to sit in the
bleachers.
"The success of this plan
lies in complete student co
operation," said the presi
dent. "We will try to take 900
1C00 students in one block out
of the stadium each week,
place them in the bleadiers
and allow those who now have
tickets in the bleachers to take
the stadium seat","
If there is not complete stu
dent cooperation, the commit
tee will consider a plan where
by those that will cooperate
will trade tickets with the
bleachers. However, Christie
pointed out that this will re
quire much more work and
that the first plan would be
much more efficient.
Any group that gave up
their seats for one game
would be guaranteed their
original seats for the rest of
the games.
Concern was expressed that
this plan might become a tra- i

"I personally guarantee
that this would not be used
in the future," said James H.
Pittenger, athletic tickets di
rector. Christie backed the
guarantee with his support.
The committee and Student
Council recognize that the
mechanics of this plan will
be complicated and require
absolute organization but
have agreed to take on this
organization. Pittenger prom
ised full support and cooper
ation from the ticket office.
The committee will begin
work on the mechanics today,

The new plan gives associ

Korff. He will present mo

yield the floor to associate
representatives.

requirements of the Division
of Student Affairs is eligible
Living units will send a cer
tain number of students, the
number being set by a form

committee, to appear for in
terviews. Associates will then
be chosen with regard to in
terest in, and willingness to
work for Student Council. Lin
coln independents may sign
up in the Student Union for
interviews.
"Student Council associates
should not be merely 'leg
men' or secretaries for the
committees," Korff pointed

One of the big problems
Council faces is knowing ex

Schwenke
Rush Head
The Interfraternity Council
began organizing its 1964 rush
program at its meeting
Wednesday night. The selec
tion of Tom Schwenke as
Rush Committee Chairman
and Arnie Garson as Rush
Book Editor initiated the pro
gram designed to sell the
merits and ideals of Fraterni
ty to more rushees.
Garson, a senior Journalism
major, proposed several
changes in the rush book.
Among them, were a pictorial
cover and more informal
fraternity pictures. "The 1963
Rush Book was a very fine
book, and therefore only
minor changes will be
necessary," he commented.
Schwenke, a junior and past
member of the Rush Commit
tee, presented a six point
program designed to improve
the rush program and attract
more high quality men to the
fraternity system.
In other business, the group
referred to committee
a motion presented by Dick
Weill, Sigma Alpha Mu, to
work out a system whereby
members of Chi Phi and Tri
angle fraternities would not
have to sit in the bleachers
for the remainder of the
Football Season.
Weill suggested that a lot
tery system be instituted so
that a different house would
assume the bieacher seats for
each game.
The Affairs Committee will
make a report on the situa
tion next week.

NU And City
Study 14th, S
Scatter Lights
University of Nebraska stu
dent leaders and officials, to
gether with city officials, are
attempting to work out plans
which may improve serious
pedestrian and auto traffic
problems on 14th and 16th
streets through the Univer
sity campus.
The possibilities of estab
lishing a scatter light system
at 14th and S streets, where
the most dense and sustain
ing pedestrian traffic is in
volved, are being studied by
City Traffic Engineer Robert
Holsinger and NU Business
Manager Carl Donaldson and
the Student Council at ths
University.
The scatter light system
would stop all auto traffic
from all directions for pedes
trians for a definite period.
Pedestrians would proceed
across the intersection, and
Mr. Donaldson believes this
might improve the present
serious bottle-neck at 14th
and S streets.
"The present traffic light
situation is not good," said
Donaldson. We believe, if
funds can be found for put
ting up a scatter light sys
tem, the situation might be
improved and would not ser
iously handicap automobile
traffic at that intersection."
In addition to the situation
at 14th and S, study is being
given to the traffic situation
on 16th street. Holsinger and
Donaldson plan to meet with
Mayor Petersen to discuss the
costs and other factors in
volved before any final deci
sions are reached.
