    Football Ticket Rotationh
1$ Voluntary; Afo Foice
IVil Be Used: Christie
By Susan Smithberger
Senior Saff Writer
"Students will not be com
pelled to turn in their football
tickets for a bleacher seat for
one game," said Dennis
Christie, president of Student
Council in referring' to the
ticket rotation system.
"It must all be on a volun
tary basis, we cannot force
them out," the president said.
He pointed out that many
students are rebelling at the
idea of having a group of po
licemen come and push them
out of their seats. This will
not be the case . . ."
Christie said that the Stu
dent Welfare committee found
that taking a large block out
of the stadium each game
and putting all 1,000 bleach
erites there would not be
feasible.
"For this reason we have
broken the group down into
smaller units which will trade
within themselves," said
Christie.

The Women's Athletic Asso
ciation (WAA), is holding an
Emphasis Week, according to
Connie Rasmussen, WAA pub
licity chairman, in order to
help University women be
come better acquainted with
the group and its functions.
The Emphasis Week will
start today and will last
through Friday. During that
time skits will be presented in
living units, "do not disturb"
signs w i 1 U be distributed,
freshmen booklets handed out
and preference sheets signed.
Every girl will be asked to
sign up for the sports in which
she is most interested. A
long list of sports will be of
fered, according to Miss Ras
mussen, including co-rec vol
leyball, freshman soccer base
ball, basketball, archery, vol
leyball, badminton, riflery,
swimming, soccer baseball,
Nebraska ball, tennis, bowl
ing, softball and table tennis.
"The purpose of this sheet
will be to involve more people
in the program," said Miss
Rasmussen.
Kappa Sigma Establishes
Career Conference Series
Director of Placement
Frank M. Hallgren and Dr.
Roland F. Mueller, Lincoln
surgeon will speak tonight at
the first of a series of Kappa
Sigma Career Conferences.
The purpose of the confer
ences, to be held the first
Monday of each month, is to
"familiarize the men in the
house with professions and
opportunities available to
them as college graduates,"
according to Bill Harding,
Kappa Sigma public relations
chairman.
Kappa Sigma president
John Zielinger said "It is
hoped that the program will
supplement classroom educa
tion by making the men more
cognizant of the practical
application of their college ed
ucation." Dean Hallgren congratulat
ed the fraternity on the plan,
describing it as "a fine pro
gram to assist their members
in learning more about the
careers open to college men."
Hallgren added, "Such a pro
gram is in keeping with the
educational program of a col
lege fraternity."

Pub Board
Names Four
The Subcommittee on Stu
dent puclications filled four
Daily Nebraskan staff posi
tions, last week.
Pub Board chose two junior
staff writers, Jerri O'Neil and
Jerry Hofferber; a senior
staff writer, Frank Partsch;
and a copy editor, Cay Leits
chuck. Miss Leitschuck, a member
of Gamma Phi Beta, is a
sophomore majoring in Eng
lish. Partsch is a sophomre in
pre-med. He is a member of
the Residence Association for
Men and has been a Nebras
kan junior staff writer since
the beginning of the fall
semester.
Miss O'Neil, an Alpha Xi
Delta pledge, is a junior maj
oring in history. She is a
transfer student from Immac
ulata Junior College in Wash
ington, D.C.
Hofferber, is a sophomre
journalism major.
Ui
The four cooperatives have
been put in one group. Inter
fraternity Council . (IFC) and
Panhellenic will try to work
out their groups among them
selves. IFC met last night to
try to set up a system. Pan
hellenic will meet this after
noon to discuss the problem.
Residence Association for
Men, Burr Hall, Residence
Association for WoWn, Uni
corns, and Independent Wom
en's Association will work
together. They met last night.
The biggest problem, ac
cording to Christie, is the
persons who bought tickets
singly. Student Council has
no way of knowing who these
people are and will have more
difficulty in placing them in
the stadium. "The only way
we can help these people,"
said Christie, "is to have
them go with some other
block group. This we can do
if they will only let us know
who they are."
Persons who are not in any
block are asked to call or
stop in at the Student Council
office immediately and leave
their name. Those not doing
so will be left in the bleach
ers.
The rotation system will go
into affect at the Air Force
game and wiD be used for
three games, omitting the
Oklahoma-Nebraska game
Nov. 23.
"We felt that since every
one took their chances in the
lottery and since the majority
will want to see this game,
termed by many as the most
important one, we will leave
everyone with stadium seats
in the stadium for this game,
said the president.
James H. Pittenger, athletic
ticket manager, had 1,000
seats roped off in the bleach
ers Saturday to insure plen
ty of room for students.
Christie reported that a
number of students who felt
that sitting in the bleachers
would be a real hardship
found that the view from
there was much better than
expected, better than some of
the stadium seats.
fairs, viewed the program as
"an excellent way for the stu
dents to find out from those
in the business world what it
is like not only in their chos
en field but in other areas as
well."
In keeping with the idea of
a varied program, Harding
said that future speakers will
include doctors, lawyers,
architects and other profes
sionals from other parts of the
state as well as Lincoln.

cil seems to be an unpopular
idea if judged by the results
of yesterday's Daily Nebras
kan poll.
While six of the seven so-
in U.S. sponsored foreign ed
ucational programs, especial
ly those supported by the
Agency for International De
velopment (AID).
Chancellor Hardin said that
American universities have
been able to cooperate in gov
ernment education programs
abroad "without great sacri
fice at home."
But, he added, increasing
requests for faculty services
in other foreign assignments,
both public and private, re
quire more careful use of
faculty personnel in the iu
ture to avoid development of
a pinch on domestic educa
tional programs.
He also reported that AID
is budgeting $36 million a
year for all of its foreign
university program contracts
a sum which he said com
pares with the amount needed
to staff only one medium-sized
U.S. university.
Chancellor Hardin said
American universities have
benefitted from their experi
ence in international educa

have a greater voice on pol

Approximately 530 Universi
ty students are receiving
their Economics 11 lectures
over closed circuit television
this semester.
Students in nine Economics
class sections watch Dr. C. R.
McConnell's lectures three
times per week by means of
TV receivers in their regular
class rooms. Dr. McConnell
delivers h i s lectures at 8
a.m. at the University TV
studio before twelve students
who are to add a classroom
atmosphere and the television
camera.
The fifty minute lectures
are put on TV tape, which
records both sound and pic
ture and plays them during
the day for the other sec
tions. The magnetic tape
which costs $200 per roll can
be erased and used over again.
Graduate assistants are
present in the lecture rooms
to take roll and make sure
the TV receivers are working
properly. ,
The economics department
has supplemented the course
with individual counseling
and group tutorial sessions.
The group sessions are being
used for the first time on an
experimental basis. Students
can voluntarily attend the
sessions atfd cover a pre
pared agenda, including self
help quizes. In these sessions
students have an opportunity
to have their questions an
swered by graduate assist
ants. Commenting on his TV lec

Omega's would go along with
the program.
The pledges of Delta Gam
ma gave up their tickets for
the last game and wouldn't
mind doing it again for any
game other than Homecom
ing or Oklahoma.
The Gamma Phi Betas think
that a practical system of
ticket rotation would be al
most impossible to put into
effect, but if one were inau
gurated they would participate
in it.
Kappa Alpha Theta sorority
is against the idea of ticket
rotation. They believe that the
lottery system was a fair one
and that everyone had an
equal chance at good seating.
Also, they think that an ef
fective rotation system would
not be possible, according to
a house officer.
Delta Upsilon fraternity,
whose pledges have already
given up their tickets for a
game, is worried that the
people who pay only $6 for
the bleacher will never have

tures, Dr. McConnell said that
the course is more rigorous
than in past years and stu
dents will be required to read
more material. He added that
receiving a course by TV
places more responsibility of
understanding material on the
student.
Dr. McConnell said it will
not be possible to know how
well the TV series works un
til a really scientific study
of results is made. He said
that students taking the
course will be compared to
students who have taken the
course by conventional lec
ture. He added that lecturing be
fore a camera is certainly
new to him also, and com
plimented the staff of the TV
studio on their ability to ad
just to his inexperience. He
mentioned that he lectures
as he would in a classroom
making no use of elaborate
visual aides.
John Lamont, one of the
graduate assistants in cUarge
of the voluntary tutorial ses
sions, was pleased with the
response to tthe early sessions.
He felt that for most students
t'3 fjrnup counseling was
preferable to individual coun
seling since students can hear
other questions answered
which they had not thought
of themselves. He commented
that tihe TV series by reduc
ing the teaching load of the,
graduate students allows them
more time for work on
graduate degrees.

to sit in the bleachers, while
some people who paid $10
for a stadium ticket might
see an important game like
Oklahoma from the bleach
ers. The Theta Xis are not will
ing to have either their
pledges or a actives give up
any more seats, as their
pledges have already given up
their seats once.
A Sigma Phi Epsilon
spokesman said that his house
was not willing to give up its
tickets.
Alpha Tau Omega Treasur
er Roger Lytle brought a new
question into the argument.
He wanted to know if the fra
ternity or sorority which
gives up their seats in the
card section will lose their
$50 deposit if one of the
houses who have the seats for
a game do any damage.'
At the Beta Theta Pi house,
the pledges are willing to give
up their tickets again, pro
vided that it isn't the Okla
homa game.
The Sigma Chi's think that
any rotation system would be
totally inadequate, but if one
were adopted, the majority
of the house might go along
with it.
A straw vote was taken at
the Sigma Alpha Epsilon
house and the individual
voluntary rotation system was
approved with the exception
of the Oklahoma game. As
for the entire block system,
the impression was generally
unfavorable.
Reg- ts Winners
To Be Honored
The 51 four-year Regent
scholarship recipients at the
University of Nebraska will
be honored by Chancellor Har
din and the Board of Regents
at a special recognition din
ner Friday evening.
The event, scheduled for the
Pan American room at the
Union, is planned to give the
Board and executive officers
of the University an op
portunity to get acquainted
with the top freshmen stu
dents. Eldon Teten, director of
scholarships and financial
aids, is in charge of planning
the event.
of the economics department
said that the series was be
gun on TV for several rea
sons. It will save money by
allowing so many students to
be taught by one teacher. He
said that the coaxial cable be
tween the studio and the So
cial Science building was put
in last spring when work was
being done on the Sheldon
Art Gallery and the tunnels
between buildings were open,
resulting in low cost for the
cable.
"Another advantage of the
system," added Dr. Hall, "is
that all students get the same
instruction. What one gets
from a course should not de
pend on what hour he regis
ters for."
Dr. Hall added that evalua
tion and studies of this trial
run will have to be made be
fore it will be known whether
the idea will be expanded in
the fu'. -re.
