Erovide "opportunity to
ve together as young
men and women to ac
quire knowledge," said
Gov. Frank B. Morrison
at the dedication of Gov
ernor's House, 12th floor
of Cather Hall, Sunday.
More than 100 persons at
tended a dedication for Gov
ernor's House, the 12th floor
of Cather Hall Sunday after
noon. Guest speaker, Gov. Frank
B. Morrison, credited the
University atmosphere with
making it possible for youth
and any human being to learn
faster, to become better stim
ulated through association
shoulder to shoulder and spir
it to spirit. Such an atmos
phere fosters improvement of
the human being and the
broadening and extension of
human personality.
Floors such as these in dor
mitories provide the oppor
tunity to live together as
young men and women and
to acquire knowledge. There
is something else which is
infinitely more important
and that is to live together
successfully as social beings
in the give and take thus
developing mutual respect for
each other, he Governor said.
Other speakers at the dedi
cation included Chancellor
Clifford M. Hardin, Dean
Roy Martin, Frank Hallgren
and Clare Harper. Bill Rog
ers was master of cere
monies. Gary "Chip" Statler
from Sidney unveiled a pic
ture of Governor Morrison
donated by Mrs. Morrison.

Evaluation Form
To Aid Employers
The Student Employment
Service has developed an
evaluation form to provide
better service for students
and employers.
Employers are now asked
to complete the evaluation
form at the conclusion of a
student's employment. The
form also may be completed
periodically while a student
is employed. Completed
forms are kept on file in
the office of Scholarships and
Financial Aids, according to
Robert Scott, financial aids
advisor.
The evaluation forms in
clude such areas as knowl
edge of job, dependability,
judgment, initiative, coopera
tion, quality of work, personal
appearance, attitude, integri
ty and honesty, overall eval
uation, and supervisory abili
ty. Robert M. Barnes, assistant
director, Student Union, who
has used the new forms, says
that "the student employment
evaluation sheet becomes an
invaluable aid to the informal
education of the student. One
of the reasons students attend
the University is to learn how
to adapt to our working soci
ety. Much of this can be
learned while going to school
by taking a part-time job."
Campus Police Summoned;
Fight Pop Bottles, Echoes
By JERRY HOFFERBER
Senior Staff Writer
Both girls were asleep when suddenly a loud noise
started one girl to awakeness. She quickly awakened the
other girl and said, "there is someone in the room."
Another loud crash in the room gave the girls enough in
centive to hastily leave the room.
They rushed "down the hall and roused their sorority
president who, after hearing the girls' .story, got the house
mother up. She promptly called the city, police. They iir
turn notified the campus police who went right over to the
house to investigate.
When they arrived, they entered the room where the
noises had occurred. They found not a person, bnt broken
pop bottles. The bottles had been set with care (in keeping
with the Christmas spirit) on the window ledge. The in
tense cold had frozen the contents solid thus causing the
bottles to explode and create the loud noises that the girls
had mistaken for a prowler.
This story and others were related by Captain Eugene
Masters, head of the campus police, to show that the cam
pus police have their light side as do other people.
In thumbing through the reports for the past months,
Masters .extracted a few gems that involved the campus
police.
Masters told of a can received by the campus police
that reported a disturbance by the coliseum. When the
police arrived they found a boy and girl who had been
yelling and listening for their echoes.
He also told of an unwanted student helper. The cam
pus police discovered that a student with a flashlight was
directing traffic at 16th and R streets. The student left
after the campus police told him that Ms help in directing
traffic was not vitally needed.

The assassination of the late
President John F. Kennedy
was a double edged sword, ac
cording to Dr. Herman Turk,
associate professor of sociol
ogy. The first part, being a
great tragedy, caused the up
heaval of normal life, but the
second part caused society to
come closer together, he ex
plained. , i
Dr. Turk addressed a forum
concerning the political, eco
nomic and social aspects of
the assassination. Dr. Carl
Schneider, professor political
science and Dr. Wallace C.
Peterson, professor of econom
ics also spoke at the forum
which was sponsored by the
Union Forum Committee.
Turk said that in American
life today nearly everyone
specializes and that it is dif-
Swirdl
flcult to become close when
so many things pull the nation
apart. But the death of the
President revealed the "com
mon core of values" that
most Americans have. He
cited the fact that political
leaders of opposite parties
were praising each other, and
that practically all Americans
felt the same way when they
learned of the President's
death as examples.
Peterson said he didn't know
the immediate effects of the
assassination on the country,
buS the problems of unemploy
ment and inadequate econom
ic growth which have been
persistent problems since 1958
are still with us.
He noted that six to seven
per cent of the labor force is
currently unemployed.
Peterson said the Kennedy
administration proposed a tax
cut in order to reduce this
problem, but that it has not
been passed yet. Peterson also
doubted that President John
son could get this tax bill
through Congress this year
even though several econom
ists have said that the cut is
needed now more than ever.
"Actually the tax cut is con
servative in nature," Peterson
said. The approach is to get
money in the hands of private
consumers rather than in
crease government spending,
Elthough some other econ
omists feel that there should
be more government spend
ing. The increased spending
program is not the Kennedy
Johnson program. He pointed
out, however, that government

Student parking area two will be relocated during the
Christmas holidays to make way for construction of the
new dormitory for men north of 17th and Vine.
When students return to the campus in January, area
two permit holders will be able to park in either:
A new lot south of Vine and east of twin towers,
accessible from Vine at about 18th Street, or
The 17th and Northside Avenue lot which is being
re-designated for area two permit holders.
Capt. Eugene Masters of the University police said the
new lot, leased from the Rock Island railraod, will be
readied during the holidays and probably will be ample to
serve virtually all of the area two permit holders.
He explained that the lot at 17th and Northside has
been used by a small number of general permit holders
for whom space is available in other general permit areas.
After the first of the year the 17th and Northside lot will
be open only to area two cars.
Both the 17th and Northside lot and the new area on
the Rock Island property are a little closer to the main
section of the City campus than the present area two lot.

NU Exchange Student
To Return To Mexico
Ann Williams, who has just
returned from a year in Mexi
co, said she is enthusiastic
about studying there and plans
to start work on a masters de
gree at the National Univer
sity of Mexico after she re
ceives her bachelor's degree
here at the mid-year com
mencement. Miss Williams went to Mexi
co City in February of this
year. She majored in Spanish
with a minor in history and
political science. Now she
plans to obtain an M.S. degree
in diplomatic relations and
hopes to go into foreign rela
tions work. During the past
year Miss Williams had a Ful
bright grant which covered
tuition and living expenses.
Although she found the stu
dents very friendly at the in
stitution with 80,000 enrolled,
Miss Williams noted that they
do not have .the student ac
tivities common in U.S. col
leges and universities. Many
of the students live at home,
so university enrollment rep
resents a continuation of ed
ucation after high school.
There are no all-university
convocations and no student
union, but each building has
its own cafe and cultural
events. There is no student
council, but each school has
its own student officers and
board. Elections for the of
fices are very spirited, Miss
Williams noted.
Mexican students find it dif
ficult to understand the wide
range of campus activities
carried on at U.S. colleges
and universities. In fact, cam
pus life is more formal in
Mexico. There is a cosmopoli
tan atmosphere partly be
cause the university is located
in a large city.
"I wore tennis shoes to class
on a rainy day and several
student asked if I planned to
go out for volleyball," Miss
Williams stated. "After that I
wore hose and heels to class
like the other students."
Teaching is a service, not
the main profession of univer
sity professors in Mexico.
More than 90 percent of the
instructors have other occupa
tions which come first. Stu
dents specialize in a particu
lar field of work as soon as
they enroll at the University,
since the high schools provide
broad educational back
ground .
Miss Williams was in Mexi
co at the time of the death of
President John F. Kenned
and noted a tremendous reac
tion because "they loved him.
Grown people cried and said
that they had lost a good
friend. The government de
clared a three-day period of
mourning which had never
been done before for a non
Mexican. "The Mexicans are current
ly investigating the activities
of Lee Harvey 6swald when
he was in Mexico."
spending will increase because
of normal economic growth.
Schneider asserted that this
assassination was hot a politi
cal assassination, and the act
was preceded by acts of vio
lence all over the country,
such as those in Birmingham,
and the contempt shown for
Stevenson id Dallas.
Schneider asked about the
growing acceptance of vio
lence in communities, not only
in the South, but in all parts
of the country. He said that
Kennedy stood for the "com
mon core of values" that Turk
had referred to. He asked
what the role of the citizenery
was when these values had
been disregarded.
Peterson, Turk, and Schneid
er speculated about the 1964
presidential election. They
seemed to agree that although
Johnson has not had enough
time to develop a style of his
own, he was thoroughly com
mitted to the Kennedy pro
gram and was also more ap
pealing to the conservatives
than Kennedy.
Schneider thought that the
Republican problem now was
to find a middle-of-the-roader
instead of a rock-bound Con
servative such as Senator
Barry Goldwater.
When a s k e d if President
Kennedy was a martyr for civ
il rights, Schneider said that
although he didn't think this
was the reason for Kennedy's
death there would probably be
myths to that effect in later
years.
