IFC Sets Spring Rush Week;
Sessions Start February 29
By John Lonnquist
The first spring rush week
to be held on the University
campus will be conducted this
year. The IFC last night ap
proved a schedule for the
week which will run from
February 29 to March 7.
The purpose of the spring
rush week is to allow those
men who did not participate
in fall rush to pledge a fra
ternity, according to Tom
Schwenke, vice president.
Participation in the activi
ties of the week is open to
all male students whose ac
cumulative average is 5.0 or
better.
Orientation sessions will be
held on Feb. 29 and March 4
The men will visit ten fra
ternities of their choice on
March 6, and then will return
to three of them on March 7.
That evening, they will
pledge.
No rushee will be allowed
to wear a pledge pin until af
ter 7 p.m. March 7. He will
not be bound to any frater-
NU Heart Report
Appears On TV
A report on research at the
University in the radio tele
metering of heart activity will
take place on NBC's "Today"
show tonight at 7:30.
Dr. K. D. Rose, staff phy
sician at Student Health, and
F. Lowell, M.D., College of
Medicine, have conducted the
work in cooperation with
Samuel Fuenning, M.D., di
rector of the University
Health Services.
The project, financed by
a U.S. Public Health grant,
consists oU. attaching m ma
ture FM transmitters to per
forming track athletes to
provide records of their heart
activity for medical study.
Preliminary results show
that through radiotelecardio
graphy the performing heart
can reveal conditions which
go undetected in the ordinary
electrocardiographic (EKG)
tests.
According to Rose, the
"News of Your Life" segment
of the "Today" show will be
devoted to the Nebraska proj
HOW NOW BROWN BUFFALO?
IS THIS COW SACRED? No, but as student rush through Morrill Hall on their
way lo class on a cold winter morning, they will probably rotas this Cape Buffalo. How
ever it is one of more than two million exhibits ia the State Museum which attracts
visitors from all over the world each year.

Dr. Floyd Hoover, registrar,
to determine what bottlenecks
in the present procedure
cause the week span be
tween the end of final ex
ams and release of the grades
to the students.
The most serious problems
in this area, said Korff, are
the failure of many teachers
nity, nor will he be recog
nized by the IFC as a pledge
until after that time.
There will be no organized
program for taking the
rushees around to the frater
nities as in the fall. The men
are responsible for meeting
and terminating their own
party dates.
The fee for participation in
spring rush will be $6.
The cost of the week in
cludes dinner March 6, a n d
lunch and dinner March 7.
The meals will be served in
Union 234-235. These rooms
will be the headquarters for
the entire week.
The registration and fee
payment must be completed
in the IFC office, Union 330
by 5 p.m. March 4.
All rushees will stay at
their present places of resi
dence during the rush period.
Except for bonafide party
times, the rushee may not be
in the fraternity house,
and may only be contacted
by phone. All University reg
ulations pertaining to conduct
will be observed. Anyone fail
ing to comply with these or
with any of the IFC's rules
will be subject to expulsion
from rush week.
Any man who fails to go
through rush week, fails to
pledge by 6 p.m. March 8,
or who breaks a pledge at
any time, must wait until
April 6 to formally pledge any
fraternity.
In other business, the IFC

Miller Scholarships
To Be Awarded
Students interested in t h e
Donald Walter Miller scholar

A total of three or four
$1,000 Miller scholarships will
be awarded for the 1964-65
school year. Sophomores or
above who are registered in
any college of the University,
including Graduate College
and the professional colleges,
are eligible to apply for the
scholarships.

He explained that, by using
a different type of class card,
which contains a slot for each
grade that could be filled in
with a pencil similar to the
type used in machine-corrected
tests would, with no ex

Westm i n s t e r Presbyterian
Church, present a program
for house moves to church on
Sundays. His church, accord
ing to Brady, would provide
a bus to take fraternity and
sorority members to church.
Each fraternity and sorority
would be given a chance to
choose a particular Sunday
when it would like to go
to church as a body. The bus
would be made available to
them on that date.
Next week elections for the
three standing committees of
affairs, rush and public rela

to this time are Jerry Krot

Appointed chairman of the

and educational institutions
and programs.
Guest speakers at the con

A NEW WAY Dr. Robert

alyzing heart activity.
NU Researchers Discover
Heart Measuring Method
A new method of measuring and recording heart ac
tivity without wire attachment to the body has been de
veloped by three University of Nebraska biomedical-elec-tronic
researchers.
Given the name Magnetocardiography (MCG) the new
approach has proved highly reliable in measuring the
magnetic field associated with the heartbeats of guinea
pigs and turtles.
The new technique was discovered by Dr. Clyde Hyde,
professor of electrical engineering and department chair
man; Dr. Robert Stratbucker, M.D.., and assistant profes
sor of physiology and pharmacology; and Steven Wixson,
a graduate student.
They have shown, through correlation with the use of
computers, that their early experimental technique com
pares in reliability with the electrocardiogram (ECG) in
the measurement of heart rate and rhythm and certain
characteristics of conduction, injury, and heart size. Ex
periments with refined equipment are continuing to deter
mine whether MCG is capable of showing heart activity not
generally revealed by the conventional ECG.
The two systems differ in that the MCG senses and
records only the fluxing or cycling magnetic field which
accompanies the heartbeat, whereas the ECG senses only
the electrical currents produced by the heart muscle tis
sue. The MCG method, unlike that of the electrogram, does
not require the use of direct wire attachment to the skin.
Therefore, the researchers believe that perfected equip
ment may some day make it possible to give large num
bers of persons heart checks in much the same way they
are given chest X-rays.
Dr. Hyde said he could envision a device in the future
that might fit around the human chest and which could be
moved easily in a van.
The working principle involved in the use of MCG re
quires that the heart be somehow surrounded by a spe
cial shield to eliminate stray magnetic fields such as those
from power lines and the earth's stationary field. Dr.
Stratbucker explained that the successful use of this prin
ciple is similar to that used by watchmakers to make
their products antimagnetic.
The initial contribution of the physician and the engi
neer in the search for a workable MCG came several
months ago when they showed that the electromagnetic
field associated with the self-triggering action of the heart
was strong enough to measure.
The groundwork for this discovery and the continued
biomedical-elcctronic research is made possible through
the close cooperation between the department of Electrical
Engineering and the College of Medicine, who shared equal
ly the work for this recent development.
The University of Nebraska is the only school work
ing on a project of this kind using this principle.
