The NAACP he added, be lieves that "selective buying campaigns" are most effec tive in areas in which busi nesses with unfair employ ment practices can be boy cotted. These local strikes have been effective in the past and will continue to be used ia the future.

A similar meeting was held last spring at the Center with students from the University, Nebraska Wesleyan Univers ity and Union College attend ing, but because final exams interfered, organizational plans were postponed until now. Mrs. Katherine Frenchy, secretary to the Nebraska Wesleyan Registrar, is in charge of the meeting. Mrs. French said it would permit members of the senior organ ization to "see what students think and what their views ar of the NAACP." Another sponsor, Dr. Wil liam W. Mountcastle, asso ciate professor of philosophy and religion at Nebraska Wes leyan, termed the meeting "an opportunity to determine the extent of student interest in NAACP." Other sponsors of the meet ing include Prof. A. Stuart Hall, chairman of the Univer sity economics department; Gerald Henderson, assistant director of the Malone Com munity Center; and Mrs. Lor- j sissippi would vote if they could and it can add a new dynamism to the Negro move ment in Mississippi by giving Negroes there a sense of com mon purpose, a glimpse of po tential statewide strength they have."

Drained weight or specific gravity, from which cost per ounce can be calculated, is tbea determined. When asked if cost played as great a role in the depart ment's final choice as quali ty, George replied, "Both have their place. When the re ports of our tests are evalu ated, we find that we buy within the range of choice and Food tests are necessary each year, although minimum standards have been set by the federal government, be cause the great variation of quality and price from year to year. Variation on the part of the judges is slight ''It's surpris ing how consirtent their re ports are," said George. raine Wilson, a Lincoln house wife. When questioned as to whether there would be a n y connection between the pro posed student chapter and the Lincoln group, Prof. Richard Gilbert, University associate professor of chemical engi nering and a member of the political action committee of the Lincoln NAACP, said there would possibly be some coordination between meet ings of the two organizations, but that the student chapter would not be a part of the Lincoln chapter.

Panhellenic Considers Rush Book The possibility of a com bined rush booklet by Panhel lenic was considered Monday. The book would save the in dividual houses quite a large sum of money, pointed out Barb Bosse, secretary. The postage would be combined and also the larger number would cut down on cost The possibility of houses in serting notes to rushees in the individual booklets would be eliminated. The book would probably al low four to six pages to each house, with individual repre sentatives in charge of each house's section. Some of the representatives felt that there would be a pos sibility of losing individuality and a personal approach. It was also pointed out that houses usually send only to those rushees in whom they are interested and that they would now be going to every one going through rush. Representatives were to take the idea to their respec tive houses Monday night to find out their feelings. Further discussion will be held after the houses feelings are dis covered. Bill Buckley, president of Interfraternity Council IFC spoke to the group and asked that they find three or more girl? who would be interested in serving as representatives of Panhellenic on Fraternity Management Associa tion FM). The representa tives were to ask for vol unteers in their houses.
