Students, Faculty, Campus
Receive Foundation Funds
By AI Brandt
Junior Staff Writer
"We have passed the time that the
University of Nebraska can rely solely up
on governmental support to provide its stu
dents and the people of the state with
those 'extras' which will mark the Uni
versity as a first-rate institution."
With these words Harry R. Haynie,
President of the University of Nebraska
Foundation, states the reason for the Foun
dation's existence. The Foundation's pur
pose is to receive and administer funds
to make the University more effective in
its work, more inspiring to its students
and more useful to the state.
Chancellor E. A. Burnett first started
the organization and in 1936 the Founda
tion was incorporated as a non-profit en
terprise. Perry W. Banch, who retired last Au
gust, became the first full-time' president
in 1942. At that time the Foundation had
assets of $45,000. Today its assets are over
five million dollars.
The Foundation's overall program
splits up into several large categories: stu
dent assistance, faculty assistance, and
campus improvements.
Many students are permitted to con
tinue their education with the help of schol
arships and student loans through the
Foundation.
This year the Foundation is support
ing 551 scholarships, about 40 of all stu
dent scholarships, and 175 student loans.
Last year the Foundation paid out $239,494
to University students in scholarships,
grants-in-aid and fellowships. As of Dec.
3J, 1962, the Foundation had $123,111.98
v " V i
tween classes every day and
on Sunday afternoon.
The tower was given to the
University in 1949 by Ralph
Mueller, an 1898 graduate.
Ever since its dedication in
Nov. of 1949, the tower pours
forth carols every Christmas
season. But mechanization
has invaded the campus and
the carols that escort students
to classes every day are all
pre-recorded.
Micheal Veak, an organ
major, plays the bells, which
are connected to an organ
bke keyboard, every Sunday
afternnon from 3 to 3:30 p.m.,
but the music on week-days
is provided by player piano
type rolls which . are set in
motion by a timed starter.
The stipulation with which
the tower was given was
that someone chould play it
on Sundays, but now it is
played before and after foot
ball games, at rallies and con
vocations, and at graduation
cermonies.
The choice of the music is
up to Veak, and he says that
he tries to keep the music in
coordination with the season
of the year or the spirit on
campus. The tower, although
designed by the department
of Architecture, is under the
care of Myron J. Roberts,
professor organ and theory
for the music department.
Mueller also donated the
Planetarium, the health and
science galleries, and the dis
play of the skeletons of the
domesticated animals to the
University Museum.

City YMCA
Considering
NU Group
The Board of Directors for
the Lincoln YMCA has ap
proved the development of a
committee to plan for the pos
sible organization of a city
campus YMCA.
The appointing of a YMCA
staff member to organize the
association has been approved
by the Board. He is Hank
Walling of "the membership
department.
It is hoped that a prelim
inary meeting between Uni
versity faculty and adminis
tration personnel and the
YMCA Board of directors will
take place. Dr. Warren Bai
ler, chairman of the educa
tional psychology and meas
urements department, is one
of the faculty members in
volved in the organizational
process.
Shortly after the first of the
year a number of University
upperclassmen will be in
vited to help in organizing the
association.
"We don't want to organize
this association unless the stu
dents are involved," empha
sized Walling. "The students
won't be part of an organiza
tion if it is just handed to
them."
vWalling expressed his de
sire that the YMCA begin
operation by spring of next
semester if its organization is
approved.
"It is our hope that a full
time director would be ap
pointed by the fall of 1965,"
said Walling.
Kernals To Wear
Uniforms At Bowl
Past members of Kernals
who are going to the Orange
Bowl in Miami are asked to
take their uniforms and wear
them in the spirit line at the
game, according to Linda
Larson, Tassels officer.
Tassels, CornCobs, pom
pom girls and cheerleaders
will be participating in the
spirit line. However, oth
er persons who have uniforms
are asked to participate so
the line will look bigger since
the whole Tassels and Corn
Cob membership will not be
there, according to Miss Larson.

The faculty also receives financial aid
through the Foundation's programs. At
present there are eight Distinguished Pro
fessorships which provide each recipient,
a noted authority in his field, with a
13,750 yearly stipend.
Also, each year two professors receive
the Distinguished Teaching Awards of
$1,000 each, in recognition of their out
standing scholarly achievements. The
Foundation also supplies funds which bring
many outstanding authorities, to the cam
pus for lectures.
Sheldon Art Gallery, the Carillon Tow
er, and the Nebraska Center are a few
of the buildings on campus that have been
financed, partially or completely, through
funds from the Foundation.
In 1960 the Foundation spearheaded a
campaign to raise funds for the building
of the Nebraska Center. They were suc
cessful in raising more than $1.1 million,
which supplemented the grant of $1.5 mil
lion from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation.
The Foundation purchases displays for
Morrill Hall and Sheldon. They also raised
over $225,000 for improvements on the Uni
versity's physical plant.
All the funds in the Foundation's treas
ury are gifts and memorials, and all of
the Trustees of the Foundation serve vol
untarily with the exception of the full-time
staff members.
The full-time staff are: Harry Haynie,
President; Herb Potter Jr., Secretary; and
Edward J. Hirsch, Public Relations Di
rector. Chancellor Clifford Hardin and a
member of the Board of Regents serve
as ex-officio trustees.

The Daily Nebraskan
as it stands and encouraged
by the stands already taken
by the fraternities at the Uni

lem. Pete Sommerhauser, who in
troduced the motion, told the
Motion's Text
The Intrfrtemlty Council to
(ware of the lituation as It affects
the fraternities here at the Unlver
ity of Nebraska. We have dls
cussed this with the Interfraternity
Council as a body and with the in
dividual fraternities involved. With
in the realm of these discussions,
we have developed number of
fuldelines.
1. The Interfraternity Council as
an organization. In developlnf its
criteria for membership of an in
dividual fraternity In the Interfra
ternity Council, has not and does
not follow a policy of discrimination
along the lines of race, creed, or
color.
J. The Interfraternity Council can
be roughly described as an organ
ization based on a federal system.
In other words, there are two dis
tinct levels of government; one on a
"national" or Interfraternity Coun
cil level, and the other on a "state
or chapter level. Much like the
United States federal system, the
Interfraternity Council has definite
rules and regulations in definite
fields. However, in a case where
the Interfraternity Council does not
so rule, the individual chapter must
do so itself.
3. This is the situation as the
Interfraternity Council sees it: the
responsibility must lie with the
individual chapter and the indi
vidual national fraternity. The In
terfraternity Council is encouraged
by the movements in the individual
fraternities concerned to strike out
these clauses. The Interfraternity
Council encourages this movement
on the campus and is gratified by
the response from the individual
chapters here at the University of
Nebraska. Without exception, the
individual chapters here at the Uni
versity desire to delete these mem
bership clauses, and evidence for
this can be readily assayed by
studying their voting record on
this subject at their national con
ventions. 4. The Interfraternity Council be
lieves firmly in a strong national
fraternity system. We concur in the
opinion that the only way to han
dle the situation is through the in
dividual national fraternity. We have
encouraged and will continue to
encourage the individual chapter to
work toward this goal through their
national fraternity, and any assis
tance desired along these lines will
be granted to them.
5. At the present time, the Inter
fraternity Council could not en
courage colonization at the Univer
sity by a fraternity whose national
policies are not in accord with our
objectives as outlined above.

RIGHT FULL RUDDER Navy ROTC midshipman will ran ttje controls and
another will give instructions for this 36-inch gray ship moving through a water
filled plastic tank in the Military and Naval Science building.
Ships Sail In M&N
Tank Tests Mavy's
- By Frank Partsch
Senior Staff Writer
Students on their way
through the Military and Na
val Science Building recently
have been surprised to see a
large plastic tank filled with
water and to occasionally hear
a seaman's command, direct
ing a 36-inch gray ship on a
mission through the tank. .
Commander E. B. Rogers,
associate professor of naval
science, explained that the
tank and ships are parts of
the ship control training de
vice lent to the department by
the Navy. He said that the
Navy has several such de
vices and lends them to Navy
ROTC units for about six
months per unit.
Rogers indicated that the
ships will be put into use
shortly and that they will be
primarily used for the in
struction of the senior Navy
classes.
, The device consists of the
DAILY NEBRASKAN that he
had been appointed to head a
committee studying the prob
lem last April by Buckley.
He said that his committee
contacted national fraterni
ties, schools, individual hous
es and deans.
Sommerhauser explained
that he thinks the IFC state
ment is almost unique in that
it was undertaken without out
side or administration pres
sure. In the discussion following
the motion, Buckley indicated
that the fifth section was
Several Classes Full;
Courses Now Closing
Quite a few courses have already been closed to stu
dents registering late, reports Mrs. Inn a Laase of the
registrators office.
Students who cannot receive their choices are being
notified.
The npper level English courses are the biggest prob
lem. English 229, 246, 265, and 266 are closed. English 238
is virtually closed with only a little space in the 10:30
and 11:30 sections. The 9:30 section is completely dosed.
If more students would have listed alternate courses
there would have been less trouble for those not receiving
their choices, according to Mrs. Laase.
Those who have not yet. registered are less likely to
receive their choices, since preference is usually given to
the earliest applications. Registration should be completed
by tomorrow or students will have to wait until February
7 to register.
Students , should always indicate their working hoars,
since this will give them a better chance to get their
desired schedules.
Other courses that are closed are History 118, Ele
mentary Education 106, Political Science 108, Journalism
75-C, and Sociology 109. All sections of Psychology 190
are closed with the exception of the 13:30 section.
A new section of Art History 31 which begins at 10:30
has been opened. The registration department stresses
that interested students should register for this section,
since the others are almost full.
Chorus 92 at 11:30 is "quite full," according to reg
istration workers. However, there is much room left in
the 13:30 section.
Elementary Education 104 has re-opened its 9:30 Tues
day and Thursday section and its 15:30 Monday and
Wednesday section.
All schedules turned in will be made out by tomor
row night. As of yesterday 6,000 worksheets have been
received by the Registrar's office.
This year students can drop and add courses without
paying fees on Feb. 3, 4, and 5.

control console, which simu
lates the engine and rotor con
trols of an actual ship. One
midshipman will run the con
t r o 1 s, following instructions
from another midshipman
or instructor acting as officer
of the deck. '
"The idea is to observe the
t i m e it takes to get a reac
tion from the console to the
ship," said Rogers. "The
controls have a fifteen min
ute delay, as in a real ship.
The six inches of water in the
tank correspond to a water
depth of 36 feet on a scale
with the size of the ship."
The two models are models
of a destroyer escort twin

bility of worsening the situa-(
tion by colonization of fratern
ities who oppose the state
ment.
"This does not actually closa
the door," he said, "but, as
the statement reads, we can
not encourage this."
Sommerhauser explained
that the IFC committee on ex
pansion contacts national fra
ternities regarding their pos
sible colonization at the Uni
versity and it is in this area
that the discouragement would
be applied.

ers, "that, although the de

purposes,' the fact is that we
