Those wishing to attend the dinner, however, should make reservations by tomorrow at University extension 2770. The subject of his PBK ad dress is "Pascal and the Creative Mind," a topic which should carry the explanation that Pascal was a distin guished 17th century French man, who, among other things developed the mathematical law of probabilities, much to the satisfaction of poker play ers and other scientists.

A waiver was defined by IFC president, Tom Brewster, as an act performed by the IFC which deals with the eligilibilty of a fraternity pledge for initiation. Should a pledge not make the required IFC standard for initation, (5.0), he would not usually be initated. However, in special cases a pledge is given the right to be initiated. These "special cases" in clude situations such as hardship, financial problems, or family difficulties. 4 The pledges are Bill Yoesel, Acacia fraternity, and Ted McConaughey, Kappa Sigma. McConaughey's case was a special consideration due to the fact that he now holds an average over 5.0. IFC laws however, had ruled him in eligible for initiation because Project! Voter AM Malone Community Center. Orientation sessions for the teams will be every Tuesday at 3:45 p.m. con ducted by Mrs. Richard Wad low, an instructor in the Uni versity political science de partment. Team members were se lected from applications sub mitted last week. Mrs. Wad low and Carol Olson of the University Graduate School of Social Work selected the team. The student teams plan to finance the trip themselves. NOW - . : r FT I It HE'S IMPROVING-It's easy now, but Frank Partsch, DAILY NEBRASKAN staff writer, had difficulty turning down cigarettes when he first began the five-day plan to 'Ex-Smoker' Nears By Frank Partsch Senior Staff Writer The first question that oc curs to many of us when we resolve to quit smoking is whether to quit abruptly or to taper off. E. J. Folkenberg, one of the co-sponsors of the Five Day Plan to Stop Smoking, has a ready answer to the question. He tells a story about a man who felt compelled to cut the tail from his little dog. Rather than subjecting the animal to the pain of having the whole tail removed at one slice, he cut it off inch by inch to spare the pain. Anyone who is addicted to cigarettes has felt some de gree of discomfort compar able to what toe puppy goes through. Their reactions are sometimes grotesque, such as YWCA Changes Date The Young Women's Christ ian Association (YWCA) Lead ership Conference, originally scheduled for Saturday has been changed to March 14. Pat Theimer will lead the conference and will speak on "Group Dynamics." Work shops will be held in group discussions devoted to improv ing group leadership. This conference is sponsored by the campus YWCA. Waivers he is not attending the Uni versity of Nebraska this sem ester. He is attending the Uni versity of Mexico but will re turn to Nebraska next semes ter. Tom Schwenke, vice presi dent, reported that there are 67 men going through Spring Rush Weekend this week. Each rushee will attend ten houses of his choice Friday night. Each twenty minute party is designed to allow the rushee to look at his favor ite house. The rushees then file for the three houses to which they wish to return Sat urday. The parties Saturday will be an hour and a half long. The rushees will then choose the one fraternity to which they wish to pledge. Bill Mowbray, IFC Rush Chairman, reported that a program designed to intro duce high school seniors to fraternity life has been planned for March 14, Mow bray asked the houses pres ent to encourage .any high school rushees to attend this program.

Folkenberg went around the auditorium Tuesday night and asked some of the reformed smokers to describe the symp toms that accompanied their release from nicotine. One woman related that the first day was easy until late afternoon, when she felt a strong urge for a cigarette. She promptly remembered the buddy system and rushed over to talk to her "buddy." "Did that help you?" asked Folkenberg, his face lighting up. "Yes," she answered quick ly. "We went out and had a cigarette together." Another woman told about how she went for two days without smoking and finally yielded to the urge and lit up. "How did it taste to you?" said Folkenberg hopefully. "Real go-o-o-od," she said.

Now he reports all he has to do is take a deep breath and whisper the magic words, "I choose not to smoke." i Five Day Morale is good, however, and the greater number of the "patients" seem to be re sisting the habit quite strong ly. The controlled diet, which eliminates foods that stimu late the urge to smoke, is a strong factor in the treatment. In addition, the deep breath ing and the "magic phrase" provide additional weapons with which to fight tempta tion. My personal problems are slight in comparison to some of the trials my comrades in misery are enduring. A hor rible hunger is first, lasting all through the day and being satisfied by no amounts of Later Hours Claim Approval By Many By Barb Berney and Nancy Anderson "Definitely a step forward. It seems rather curious that Nebraska men are on their own, while women are deemed incapable of handling themselves," said Mike Bar ton, one of the many young men left twiddling their thumbs at 10:35 p.m. "But apparently girls have ma tured within the last year, be cause they have been re warded with 1,800 more sec onds of responsibility. I look forward to the day when the University will de sist from legislating morals reminiscent of the Victorian Era, said Barton. I'm sur prised AWS hasn't tried to approve all pinnings and en gagements." This and the following opin ions resulted from the recent change . of junior women's hours from 10:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., effective next fall. Other opinions were similar to Bar ton's. Charles Miller, a junior in Arts and Science feels that the new 11 p.m. hours are good. He thinks that any girl, by the time she is a junior, knows what she wants out of school. Cheryl Moss, freshman, be lieves the 11 p.m. hours are a good idea because more in dividualism is stressed. "I think it's all right and that it should have happened a long time ago," said Mark Ramaekers, sophomore. "Al so, I believe, that sophomores should have been included in this new change." Charles Bennet, a married senior in Engineering ex pressed, "Actually It doesn't affect me, being married, but sJksii fi . 'ft The Daily Nebraskan WINNERS TO OKLAHOMA yimco mm. PHOTO BY DENNIS DeFRAIN Cure food or liquids (incidently, al coholic beverages are prohib ited during the five day pro gram). . My second problem is a horrible compulsion to smoke anything that will burn. Luckily the urge comes only once a day, but it comes then with a rush that is complete ly wiped out by a timely men tal block, and, as of yet, I have not had a perfect day yet. That is my goal for the third day. Twenty-four hours with no nicotine, no 27 or 24 poisons of which 15 cause cancer, no cough, no watery eyes ... NO CORRODED LUNGS! I think it's a real good idea and I'd be willing to go along with it!" A Phi Delta Theta alum, Bob Schrepf stated, "Glad to see they're liberalizing it. I'm certainly in favor of it. However, I think they could even be extended to mid night." An anonymous AWS Board member told the DAILY NE BRASKAN that the reason that this finally came about was because Dean Snyder has had many 21 year old junior women coming in and re questing extended hours for various reasons. She finally decided to bring this matter before the AWS Board, who in turn considered it and passed it. Bill Neater, a junior in Bus iness Administration states his opinion this way, "It's fine with me. I think it's a fine incentive. It gives them something to look forward to, being juniors." Bill Pfeiff, senior in Teach ers College summed up the majority of the student's opin ions as follows, "I believe that this is a step in the right direction. Hours should be ex tended to all girls who have proved themselves scholasti- cally." One lone junior woman bravely expressed her opin ion contrary to the others. "I don't think hours should be extended," said the junior. "There is a tendency to slough off and not get your studies done. We're here for going to school, and you should be studying." "However, seniors should have more privileges than juniors and both more priv ileges than freshmen." mi C Weekend Matches Are A Possibility Student Council yesterday passed a motion introduced by Doug Thorn allowing them to sponsor a Quiz Bowl dele gation to the Big Eight Quiz Bowl in Norman, Okla., on Saturday, May 2. Thorn told the Council that the University quiz bowl pro gram will have to rearranged in order to have a winner in time for the Conference competition. Dan Wherry, chairman of the Quiz Bowl Committee said that addition al matches might be held on weekends in order to bring the matches to a close by May 2. The winning team from the University will represent Ne braska at Norman, accord ing to Thorn, rather than the team consisting of outstanding individuals as original ly planned. NUAIum Matrix Speaker Miss Means At April 11 Meeting ..Marianne Means, the only woman correspondent on the 16-m ember White House press corps, will speak at the University April 11.

Delta Sigma Pi Picks Rose Queen Finalists Delta Sigma Pi has chosen five finalists for their Rose Queen to be named at the annual Rose Formal on April 25th. The finalists are Kathy Glade, Delta Gamma; Barb Smith, Kappa Alpha Theta; Suzie Young, Alpha Delta Pi; Virginia Ferrara, Gamma Phi Beta and Carolyn Dau bert, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Thursday, March 5, 1964 In other business the Coun cil, by a vote of 19-9 passed a motion by Jean Probasco to recommend that all Univer sity Fund (AUF) investigate the possibilities of campus drives to support the John F. Kennedy Library in Bos ton. At the present time AUF is the only organization al lowed to collect money on campus. Miss Probasco said that many students were very in terested in supporting the drive, which is being con ducted on 2100 campuses. The Council defeated a mo tion by Bobby Kotecha to cre ate a committee to explain na tional and state government to students and students to the legislators. Tom Kort re minded the Council that the senators' and public issues committees already handle the work of the proposed committee and, to avoid du plication, the motion should be defeated. Mike Barton, chairman of the public relations commit tee, said that the Council has the necessary structure to ex plain national and state ac tions to the student body. Bob Kerrey presented a committee action report out lining a plan for a type of student-faculty discussion ser ries in which the teachers would specify the areas in which they would like to speak. Then the students would make the first move in set ting the date of the meeting, a type of forum. Dick Weill proposed to amend the re port by making it possible to include business and profes sional men in the forum. The motion, as amended, was passed. All students interested in the Big Eight charter flight to Europe should contact Don Hertz or the Student Council office during he next week. Full details will be available within the week, said Presi dent Dennis Christie. Don Lydick, chairman of the masters committee, re minded any organization in terested in having the mas ters speak to their meetings should contact him.
