Mist Simone, who has ap Nebraska To Sign The Stanford Peace Caucus has written the DAILY NE BRASKAN to suggest that the students and faculty of the University add their names to a petition concern ing the Viet Nam petition or that they start a similar pe tition. The recent intensification of guerrilla warefare in S o u t h Viet Nam prompted the peti tion from Stanford University. It now has over 400 faculty and student signatures. It will be sent to President Johnson sometime next week. This Stanford Peace Caucus pe tition states: 'We, the undersigned mem bers of the Stanford Universi ty community, urgently and resolutely oppose an intensi fication of the war in South Viet Nam and repudiate an extension of that war into the North. "We call for a reconvening of the Geneva Conference of 1954 in order to bring about an internationally guaranteed pacification, neutrali zation, and democratization of South Viet Nam and to prepare the way for the reuni fication of North and South. "In order to halt the in creasing number of casualties on each side and to prepare a favorable climate for nego tiations, we further urge that the United States take steps toward bringing about an im mediate armistice between the South Vietnamese govern ment and revolutionary com batants. "The rapidly deteriorating situation in South Viet Nam has forced the United States to review its commitment in that country. A major policy decision is likely within the next two weeks. Under con sideration is the extension of the conflict into North Viet Nam. The consequences of such an action would most probably be, at best, another deadly and prolonged war with Communist China, as in Korea. "It may be t h a t Senator Mansfield, speaking recently in favor of a peaceful settle ment, was encouraged by the administration to open the question of an alternative to war in order that public opin ion might be determined. We are confident that President Johnson would prefer to avoid another Korea, but if he is to do so, he must be assured of the support of the people.

She has worked as a jazz pianist and singer and plans a European tour next season. Herbie Mann's research in to ethnic music has taken him to both Africa and South America. Mann played in fif teen African natihns for 17 weeks as a part of a State Department tour. Asked etition fluence our government in such a way that a larger war may be avoided and peace may be brought to the long suffering people of Viet Nam. It is our responsibility both to that government and to those people that we now ex press ourselves by hesitat ing we shall betray that re-sponbility." Mrs. Truman Wood Talks On Communism At last night's meeting of Youth for Goldwater Mrs. Truman Wood, a national po litical figure, talked on Com munism. Mrs. Wood related how she became involved in anti-communist work. The GoJdwater booster was first attracted three years ago when she sud denly realized she didn't want to someday answer to her children for her apathy in po litical and world affairs. Faculty advisor, Dr. George Uhlig introduced Mrs. Wood. Dr. Uhlig noted that Mrs. Wood is past president and founder of Gold for Goldwa ter, a Freedom Foundation award winner, and assistant Med Student Gets Grant Dennis Landers, a sopho more medical student has been awarded the C.W.M.

It is made possible through the fellowship estab lished in 1945 in honor of the late Dr. C.W.M. Poynter, alumnus, teacher and former dean of the College of Medi cine. ' Landers' research is in the field of muscle mechanics and is under the direction of E. A. Holyoke, professor ana chairman of the department of anatomy, and Stanley M.

Drop Deadline Friday The Registrar's Office re ports that 4 p.m., Friday, March 6, is the deadline for dropping a course. at the Folk and Jazz Wing Mann has incorporated bos- sa nova rhythms as a part of his presentation since these rhythms evolved from the traditional music of Brazil. He believes that the folk rhythms of other countries can contribute to and expand the scope of jazz. Also with the traveling con cert are The Moonshiners and Ron Eliron, an Israeli singer and guitarist. The .Moonshiners are three collegiate folk singers who have played and featured their rich sound and sense of hu more to audiences throughout the eastern United States. Eliran features a cosmopoli tan style of singing material and orginal arrangements on the classical guitar. He has appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and toured France and Belgium with an Israeli group of dancers and singers. The "Wing Ding" has re ceived a host of complimen tary notices. The NEW YORK TIMES said, "The show has styling, horsepower, and bot tom dollar performance. There may be a wing ding in your future." chairman of Nebraskans for Goldwater. After these beginning re marks, Mrs. Wood next spoke on the subtopic, "What Goes on in a Communist's Mind". She stated, "The true Com munist sincerely believes ev erything that has been taught to him by higher officials is the only thing and is in effect his religion." Mrs. Wood gave a few examples of these "sin cere" beliefs. One being the fact that a Communist, re gardless of nationality or race, feels he belongs to one large army spread around the world. This army, he has been taught, will have an inevitable victory over the capitalistic Americans. The Communists morality is planned so they will do any thing for the Communist par ty. They will lie, break treat ies, or kill for the Communist party. After committing these acts, they don't feel unright ous but know they are right because the Communist doc trine says so. Mrs. Wood summed up her speech noting the manner by which the United States can hold the Communists in check (by the understanding of com munism) and added that the man most capable of handling the Communist threat is Bar ry Goldwater. Engineering Paper Rodney Wood, assistant professor of mechanical engi neering, discovered yester day that a paper he had writ ten was selected ' by the American Institute of Chemi cal Engineering (AICHE) as the top effort of its kind. , Wood, who noticed a men tion of his paper in the CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PROGRESS, hadn't been aware of the honor, although he had received a hint when asked for a picture of him' self.

The Board also took ac tion on revising the activity point system. Junior women will have 11 p.m. hours on week nights, effective next fall, instead of the 10:30 p.m. hours they now have. AWS has been con sidering a change in women's hours for some time but this action, a motion made by Miss Jane Tenhulzen, vice presi dent, is the first change they have approved. The Board felt that this would distinguish the upper level classes from the fresh men and sophomores. It would also give junior women more of an opportunity to use the library, which is open un til 11 p.m. "I think it is a good idea for the upper-division students to be grouped together," said Helen Snyder, associate dean of student affairs. Another primary reason for the Board's action was the fact that many juniors are 21 years of age. They felt that these women should have ex tended hours. The Board felt that by the time students are juniors they would know how Committees for the 1964 In terfraternity Council (IFC) have been named recently. Members of the committee on public relations are John Luckason (chairman), Phi Delta Theta; Andy Taube, Sigma Chi; Mike Gottschalk, Phi Gamma Delta; Steve Davis, Sigma Chi; Tom Tints man, Phi Delta Theta; Larry Johnson, Beta Theta Pi; John Mullens, Delta Tau Delta; Doug Foster, Beta Sigma Psi; John Rasmussen, Phi Kappa Psi; Tom Holyoke, Delta Up silon; Don Voss, Beta Theta Pi. The affairs committee is composed of Stan Miller of Beta Sigma Psi as chairman; Ladd Lonnquist, Beta Theta Pi; Skip Soiref, Sigma Alpha Mu; Bob Petersen, Sigma Nu; Max Martin Jr., Beta Theta Pi; Dennis Tonniges, Beta Sigma Psi; Ed Felton, Phi Kappa Psi; Dick Weerts, Kap pa Sigma; Bob Wilburn, Sig ma Alpha Epsilon; Bob Ham mond, Phi Gamma Delta; Lou Burgher, Phi Delta Theta. The committee on rush in cludes chairman Bill Mow bray, Sigma Nu; Keith Koep ke, Sigma Nu; Mike Kirkman, Phi Delta Theta; Bob Car stens, Sigma Phi Epsilon; Greek Week Set; Fall Rush Slated Greek Week was the major topic for discussion at yester day's Panhellenic meeting. The annual event, sponsored by Panhellenic and the Inter fraternity Council, (IFC) will be held April 11-15. All entries for the Greek games are due March 27, according to Jean Probasco, vice president of Panhellenic. The dates for Rush Week this fall are Sept. 9-14. New Student Week follows Rush Week, with the 1964-65 school term slated to open Sept. 21. Installation of the newly elected Panhellenic officers will be held March 16 in the Student Union. Election To Pick Finalists Today Ten finalists for May Queen will be selected today at the primary election held at both the Ag Union and Student Un ion. All junior and senior women are elgible to vote. Voting will begin at 9 a.m. and continue until 5 p.m. at the Ag Union and 6 p.m. at the Student Union. The queen and her maid of honor will be elected from the ten finalists at the All Women's Election on March 11. .12 POINTS- much time is needed for studying and will apportion their time accordingly. The Board also abolished mandatory application of the activity point system. In the past women students have been able to belong to only three organizations, may hold a presidency in one and a board position in two. The Board will recommend that students apply these limita tion but will not require it. A letter will be written to all organizations requesting that they consider the number of obligations a student al ready has when choosing their officers. The purposes of the point system are to increase the efficiency of organizations by providing officers that will have sufficient time to carry out their duties, to benefit the student and protect their health, assuring enough time to fulfill scholastic require ments and to benefit the cam pus as a whole by distributing the offices among the many students capable of assuming responsibility. "The Board felt that these purposes were good ones," TOffHIFiSSS Jim Ebers, Delta Tau Delta; Tom Brandzel, Phi G a m m a Delta; Dick Levine, Sigma Al pha Mu; Bill Ahlstrand, Phi Kappa Psi; Mick Sumnick, Phi Gamma Delta; Rod Tu enge, Phi Kappa Psi, Chuck Clement, Alpha Tau Omega; Chuck Brummond, Beta Sig ma Psi.

The Board had difficulty when defining exactly what would be termed a board po sition in organizations. "It is hard to determine just how much time the position in all the organizations require," said Miss Tenhulzen. The Board has maintained an appeals court for two years where an over-pointed student could appear. "The organizations and the girls themselves should be capable of deciding on this matter," said Miss Tenhulzen. "Women students should learn how to budget their time and their capabilities." U n d e r the point system a board position consists of chairmanships and assistants, and some house offices, such as scholarship, social and standards chairmen and treasurer. Worker positions in organi zations do not count as mem berships. The mandatory point sys tem has been in effect for at least 15 years.
