V? .,-... I,. Vol. 77, No. 48 Afeiv Regenfs President Has Faith In Education As Mental Discipline "The greatest inheritance we can give our kids is a good education.'

He is able to observe, because of his lo cation, the services done by the University outside of Lin coln. Adkins has said many times, "The greatest inheri tance we can give our kids is a good education. In the near future, taxes may make it al most impossible to pass along much else." "I believe our children should be given the opportu nity of a good education," he said, "and then should be on their own." Students must learn mental discipline so they can think clearly in later life, and they should learn to live with other people, he continued. He is from a typical mid western small town; Osmond, the father of a typical family of three two boys and a girl, and manager of a typical busi nessbanking and cattle. But Adkins is far from typical. Adkins is i. ormer director of the Sioux City Symphony, and a glance at the family record collection reveals a high-quality library.

Fruit baskets may take their place along with beards, grubbies, coffee and half-open eyes in the collection of signs which signify the beginning of final exams. A project sponsored by Jeff and Jay Pokorny to send fruit baskets to fresh men during finals compli ments of their parents was begun this week. The Pokorny brothers sent approximately 2000 letters to the parents of out-of-town stu dents, explaining how confus ing and terrifying final ex ams can be to a freshman and offering to send the stu dent a gift basket, complete with various kinds of fruit 1m i J Richard Adkins programs during the summer. "Young people are the bul wark of America," said Ad kins. He has financially aided young men who otherwise would not be able to further their education beyond the high school level. "Money shouldn't be the on ly criterion for achieving an education," he said. "We leave out many talented peo ple if it becomes so." Adkins was born in Howard, So. Dak., and received his edu cation at Norfolk high school, Columbia University, Grinnell College and the University. He moved to Osmond in 1946. Pc3irahiSiuiik .raoinsziQEni The Panhellenic Council passed a plan for reorganiza tion in its Monday meeting. The plan calls for the addi tion of six officers' councils which will meet twice a month. There will be councils for the presidents, the stand ards chairmen, the pledge trainers, the scholarship chairmen, the rush chairmen and the activities and social chairmen. The activities and social chairmen will alternate meetings. The purpose of these coun cils will be to discuss mutual problems and to make recom mendations to the Panhellenic Council. It was pointed out in a previ ous meeting that if the coun cils did not feel the need for meetings that frequently, they could set up their own meet ings times as often as they desired. The plan will go into effect with the new officers. Vice chancellor G. Robert Pub Board Alters Policy; Staff Applications Now Due The Committee on Student Publications revealed at a meeting . last week that in terviews for positions on the DAILY NEBRASKAN will be held Friday, January 24, at 3 p.m. Positions open are editor, and candy, for $2.95. Jeff Pokorny told the DAILY NEBRASKAN yester day that a few parents have already replied favorably and enthusiastically to the let ters. He said that one en closed a card to send with the basket, although all the baskets will carry a note saying "From Mom and Dad." "If this idea is well re ceived," said Pokorny, "we would like to do it again next year. We think that a fresh man needs every boost h can get during finals, and that a gift like this from home would really help him." Ad Club Honors Dr. Hall Journalist Awarded Printer's Ink Medal Dr. William E. Hall, direc tor of the School of Journal ism, received the Printer s Ink Silver Medal Award yesterday evening at the reg ular January meeting of the Advertising Club of Lincoln. Mr. Victor Wortman, Mid west Editor of the national publication, was in Lincoln to personally m-Jce the presenta tion to Dr. Hall. The Silver Medal Award is given to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the advertising profession over a number of years. The award was presented to Dr. Hall in recognition of the excellent job he has lone in building the journalism de partment into one of the most outstanding departments in the country. The Advertising Club said that at Nebraska emphasis - being placed not only on journalism education in the strict "newspaper" sense, but is also being ex tended to the air media and, of course, advertising and public relations. Under Dr. Hall's administra tion the faculty and students have won many journalism honors the most significant being the Hearst Foundation Collegiate Writing Award, per sonally presented by the late President Kennedy for both 1961-62 and 1962-63. Ross, dean of student affairs, spoke to the group on future plans for Greek housing. He pointed out that there is increasing concern with the problem of new groups com ing to the campus and with existing groups meeting the University code, a code of liv ing standards set up by the Board of Regents. Paul Highland, president of the Interfraternity Board of Control, asked that the groups with such problems combine their efforts, according to Ross. A committee was formed and a firm employed to help with long range plan ning. The first report issued by the firm last year called for planning that would eventual ly unite city and ag campus. There would be a mall where such things as housing would be placed.

The Daily Nebraskan voir By Frank Partsch Senior Staff Writer Over 1,000 students have already been notified that they will be unable to attend classes for which they pre registered, according to Mrs. Irma Laase, assistant regis- rar. The University is plagued by an unexpected siege of growing pains, with an un precedented large number of classes and closed sections. In addition to these 1,000 stu dents, 100 beginning English Students will be affected by changes in the English department schedule. These have been instituted to ac commodate student who reg istered for English 1 and 2, which are among the many closed English classes. Mrs. Laase said that the English Department had more sections closed than any other "department. Other areas in which seri ous situations exist are: Polit ical Science, where many 100 level courses closed; History, many 100 level courses closed; Sociology, many, 100 level classes closed; and Psy chology, all courses below 200 closed. j These departments, accord ing to Mrs. Laase, set ' sec tion capacity at room ca pacity. "Those limits have now been reached," she went on. "and there are no bigger rooms available." Mrs. Laase said the prob- area not physically attrac tive," said the Vice Chancel lor. "There are industrial buildings and the Rock Is land railroad to deal with." Many fraternities are now faced with major remodeling in order to meet the code reg ulations and are thinking of relocating, he pointed out. He recommended that groups considering new facil ities get together to think of buying property jointly so they will move into a new area to gether and not be isolated. "The latest plan of the firm is expansion due east of the campus," he said. He pointed out that no plan hag been acted on yet. "If sorority life is going to be continued, they must meet the need of expansion by hav ing new groups come on cam pus," he said. The percentage of women in sorority life has dropped in the last few years. Ross said the university will be willing to help in any way it can in making negotiations for land. "We cannot help financially because we have to use what money we have for buying land for class rooms. Pica in KIC Slates Auditions For '64 Spring Show Tryouts for the 1964 Kos met Klub spring show, "Bye Bye Birdie" will be held be ginning Thursday, Jan. 16. Scripts for the Broadway musical comedy are available in the Interfraternity Council office, Student Union, accord ing to Bob Ayres, Kosmet Klub spring show chairman. Tryout dates and times are as follows, Jan. 16, 7-10 p.m; Jan. 17, 7-10 p.m; Jan. 18, 10-5 p.m; and Jan. 19, 2-6 p.m. The Kosmet Klub's produc tion of "Bye Bye Birdie" will be one of the most elaborate attempted by an amateur or ganization in terms of tech nical arrangement and direc tion, according to Jim Han sen, Kosmet Klub business manager. He said the sets and scenery are particulary complex and striking. They include a "jungle gym' ar rangement with 17 teenagers d Cflasses IPBagu , Students " illpS 3 13 illiliiilK, ii "BUT I WAS PLANNING TO GR AD U ATE" Some University seniors faced serious problems the last few days when the Registration Office informed them that courses they must take in order to graduate were filled. About 1,000 students altogether, including many under classmen, were also affected by the shortage of teaching space and staff. lem could be called a serious one. "We have never had so many classes closed at midyear," she said, "and when one out of every seven students who preregistered finds that the classes he want ed to take are closed, the situ ation is serious." She said that, in former years, a student was notified when his chosen section was closed and he was forced to register for another. Now he must get special permis sion from the department in No Change In Exams The Faculty Senate Com mittee on Calendar and Ex aminations announced yester day that there will be no change in the calendar for ex aminations this semester. The announcement means that there will be no classes on Monday, Jan. 27, which leaves one free day plus the weekend before exams for students to study. Campus Leaders Comment On Council Drinking Poll "Underage drinking is a problem in Nebraska," said Bill Buckley, president of In terFraternity Council (IFC and Innocents in response to a poll taken of campus lead ers by the Daily Nebraskan. "In New York and Europe it is not a problem," he con tinued, "because they have a lower age limit or no age limit at all." He did not feel however, that Student Council or the University administration can do anything about it. "Sur veys should be made by psy chologists and sociologists on the maturity of Nebraska youth to see if they can handle 'fire water,' " he said. on connected telephones and a cut-away two story house. Mrs. Sally Hove, spring show director, directed the spring and fall productions for Kosmet Klub last year and was responsible for the technical direction of the Kos met Klub Komic Kapers held this fall. She feels that this will be the most spectacular production ever attempted by any University organization. Tom Kort, promotions di rector for the show, said that the increasingly professional nature of Kosmet Klub pro ductions in recent years has reached a new high with the production of "Bye Bye Bird ie." He pointed out that this will result in a better show for the audience and will mean an increase in the ex perience gained by participa tion in the show in the part of University students. order to take the class. "This problem is going to get much worse, of course, unless the legislature appro priates more money for more faculty and classroom space. The problem in the English department is lack of teachers; that in some of the other departments is shortage of space," she said. "We will compete prereg istration today," Mrs. Laase said, "and anyone who does not have his schedule ar ranged now will have to make his changes through drop and add at the beginning of the next semester." An immediate problem which - the growing pains have raised is the graduating senior who cannot enroll in clases necessary for his grad uation. Fortunately, said Mrs. Lasse, most of these seniors turned in their preregistration scheules early enough to get all the credits they need, and only a few will be in serious trouble. "As far as I'm concerned, the drinking poll is the most ridiculous thing on campus," said the IFC president." It just serves as "publicity for Jim Moore." Gary Pokorny, president of Residence Association for Men (RAM) said that he felt there was a problem in the sense that the law is being broken, but he didn't feel that there was a problem to the extent that there is excessive drinking. "I don't feel that Student Council is making the right approach," said Pokorny. "I think they should think about what to do about enforcing the law." In a response to a question concerning the strictness of the law, Pokorny said, "No, I don't think the laws are too strict." Carol Klein, president of Independent Women's Asso ciation(IWA) felt that there is definitely a problem. "I have seen it as a dorm coun selor," she said. "I think that the Council should continue studying the problem. I think it is waking people up." She said she felt one of the major things wrong with the present laws was that there was no liquor by the drink in Lincoln. "This in vites trouble," she said. Stu dents have to buy a whole bottle and then feel they must drink it all, she continued. "Triflri to enmo trnmnintf down on minors being done," she pointed out. She felt that this wne a finnii thine "T feel that this is a problem of the campus as well as of the individual," she said. "I really feel that Student Wednesday, January 15, 1964 m mi i ii mi i mmmmmrmmrtwrMt WORST I HAVE SEEN Mrs. Irma Lasse, assist ant registrar, said that the early filling of classes that has happened at this midyear registration is the worst that she has seen since she started working in the Registra tion Office in 1947. Council may be able to come up with something," said Suzie Walburn, president of Panhellenic. "I didn't think so at first, but the students realize that the Council is serious about this, and they are being more serious about it themselves." "I think aH Student Council can do Is to make a recom mendation if the results show such action is warranted." Linda Reno, vice president of Mortar Board, said that she wasn't sure that Student Council is the most effective organ to handle the problem. "However, I can't offer any alternative," she said. "This situation involves public relations so intimately that I think we as students have the responsiblity to be careful what we do," Miss Reno said. "Considering the way state politics are now, I'm not sure that this is the time to present the issue. I'm not sure there is a feasible solution at this time." She pointed out that in Nebraska people who do not vote have very little po litical pressure. - S ...... 3 V v 3 I 1 1 UfiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiuiuuiQ iff r' fa il d f i ' - I J t v f - ''I V A. f :-: r",'"-'(i)tlf-i,lpl'''ffT,' Sfitfi VM -"fl ' sf (M
