Durham, N. H. (CPS) A
unanimous vote of the Student
Senate at the University of
New Hampshire recently call
for the abolishment of com
pulsory ROTC.
Following a discussion led
by Senate President John W.
McDonnell the body voted to
recommend:
That the program of com
pulsory ROTC for freshmen
and sophomores at UNH be re
vised, effective September
1964 to a program of volun
tary ROTC.
That the university shall

Nazi Culture
Had Worth,
Koehl Says
All that was done to simpli
fy and popularize German cul
tural expression during the
Nazi era was not bad or
worthless, according to Dr.
Robert Koehl, University pro
fessor of history.
In a talk at the Sheldon
Memorial Art Gallery yester
day evening, he said that
German culture in the Nazi
era bears many resemblances
to trends elsewhere.
"Our feelings of disgust and
revulsion for other Nazi ac
tions make it hard for us to
evaluate German social and
intellectual striving in this
era," Koehl said.
The German cultural pro
cess seems to be part of larg
er European trends. Culture
under the Hitler regime con
tinued trends of the creative
post-war German republic,
but was simplified and rein
forced by governmental con
trol. Because of this control, uni
formity in German art has
received emphasis, but there
was much diversity. The pe
riod produced some vivid and
dramatic work in many fields.
During this era, such trends
as intelligibility in art, the
revolt of the artist against
isolation from society, and a
return to artistic values based
on classic and folk sources
can be seen in Nazi culture.
These creative trends were
weakened in Germany, how
ever, by sentimentality and
the conflict between govern
mental control and artistic
creativity.
Another influence on cul
ture of this period, according
to Koehl, was a revolt of the
lower middle classes against
the traditional upper class
monopoly of culture.
fully adequate orientation con
cerning the voluntary ROTC
programs.
That students electing the
first two years of voluntary
ROTC shall continue to receive
six academic credits toward
graduation.
If the recommendations are
approved by the Faculty Sen
ate they will be placed be
fore the Board of Trustees.
Their endorsement is neces
sary to begin the new pro
gram. Current law does not spell
out compulsory ROTC train
ing for undergraduate stu
dents. It only requires that
Land Grant colleges offer mil
itary training.
President McConnell said,
"It would be desirable to have
a voluntary program simply
because those enrolling in it
would be interested in it.
Higher morale would be the
results."
Elliot Guest
At Luncheon
An honorary luncheon in be
half of Dr. Curtis M. Elliot,
professor of economics and in
surance, will be given tomor
row at 12:15 p.m. Approxi
mately 200 from the insurance
field are expected to attend.
Elliott received his B.A. de
gree in 1934, his M.A. in 1935,
and his Ph.D. in 1940 at the
University of Illinois.
Elliott came to Nebraska in
1941 and received his full pro
fessorship in 1952. Since then
he has had one book pub
lished, "Introduction to Prop
erty and Casualty Insurance,"
and at the present is writing
a book on property and lia
bility insurance. Technical
journals have published over
one hundred of his articles
on insurance.
Elliott is the rating consul
tant for the State Insurance
Department of Nebraska and
the educational adviser for
State and National Agents Association.
University students changed
their minds or had them
changed for them 3,473 times
during three drop and add pe
riods from Feb. 3 to March 6
according to Registrar Floyd
Hoover.
Hoover said add and drop
numbers weren't too unusual
but some of the reasons giv
en by students for their
changes were. This year, for
the first time, the sometimes
elusive reasons were re
corded. Big reasons for changes dur
ing the "free" add and drop
period from Feb. 3-5 were reg
istration errors, closed sec
tions, and simple changes of
mind. Of the 1,015 students
dropping or adding courses
during this time, only ten peo
ple actually admitted their
own error.
Nearly 2,000 changes passed
through the Registrar's Office

During the drops-only Feb.
24 to March 6 span, 461 stu
dents gave their excuses. Ov

claimed an overloaded schedule.
Hoover said drop and add
numbers were expected and
added that reasons are rath

them, he said will probably
never be eliminated. Many
times, students want to ex

PREP STUDENTS WILL PACK CRIB-
FoiiFiiofiisfif Feins

Lincoln
Hotels
By Frank Partsch
Senior Staff Writer
The University and Lincoln
are making the final prepar
ations and "battening down
the hatches" today before
Thursday's invasion of the
city by an estimated 10,000
15,000 high school basketball
fans for the finals of the State
Basketball Tournam e n t s
Thursday through Saturday.
Thirty-two basketball
teams, four each from class
es A, B, C and D, will be
gin elimination play at noon
Thursday. They will be ac
companied by their families,
pep clubs, townspeople in ad
dition to hundreds of people
drawn to the tournaments by
the color and excitement.
Thursday's games w i 1 1 be
played in four locations:
Nebraska Wesleyan Univer
sity, Lincoln High Gym,
Pershing Auditorium and the
Coliseum. Thursday's attend
ance at the Coliseum could
be as high as 5,000 during the
day and 9,000 in the evening,
said C C. Thompson, execu
tive secretary of the Nebras
ka School Activities Associa
tion. Feelings around the cam
pus range from the anticipa
tion felt by freshmen boys
expecting a visit from the
girl back home to the utter
dispair which the crib rat
feels when he sees his Union
overrun with red, white, blue
and gold letter sweaters.
The official entertainment
for the high school fans, ac
cording to John Carlisle,
Union program director, will
be the nightly high-school-only
dances in the Union ballroom.
The dances will last from 9-11
p.m. on Thursday and 9-12
p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
A large number of h o u s e
parties and a record hop in
Selleck will provide ether
activities for the crowds.
As tlje big weekend ap
proaches, hotel and motel
accomodations are becoming
almost impossible to find, ac
cording to Dave Neal, desk
clerk at the Colonial Inn.
Neal said that the Colonial
Inn has handled many of the
reservations for other motels
throughout the city and that
20 motels are filled to capa
city already.
The room situation is simi
lar in most of the city's ho
tels, sad Charles Dolan, gen
eral manager of the Lincoln
and Capital Hotels. The Cap
ital was filled at least two
weeks ago.
Some of the high school
students are permitted to
stay with friends in dormi
tories and fraternity houses.
Charles Tulloss, resident ad
visor of SeUeck Quadrangle,
estimated that over 100 guests
stayed in the Quad last year
and expects about the same
number this year.
Tulloss said that because
there is no policy governing
quartering overnight guests in
the dormitories, no extra
rooms and bunk sections are
opened to general lodging.
This room, he said, must be
saved in the event of weath
er emergencies, which have
been frequent in the history
of the tournaments.
Wayne KuncL resident di
rector of Cather Hall, said
that Cather does not expect
many guests over the week
end. Twin Towers likewise
has no policy on keeping
guests overnight.
State tournament time is
one of the five times during
the year that high school stu
dents are allowed to spend
the night in fraternity houses
under Interfraternity Council
(IFC) rules, said Tom
Schwenke, vice president of
IFC.
Schwenke said that approx
imately 15-20 of these men
are expected to stay in each
house.
Dolan said that hotels and
motels accommodate different
types of customers which re
sults in varying degrees of
preparations for enthusiastic
damage. The Capital Hotel,
for instance, will have two
policemen on duty.
The Lincoln Hotel, Dolan
continued, has usually drawn
groups of people from west
ern and northeastern Nebras
ka. He said that many of
them are annual customers,
whether or not their teams
are represented In the tour
ney. Regarding trouble, Dolan
said that the customers are
usually 60 per cent young
people and 40 per cent adult
Ocassionally the teenagers
must be reminded to be quiet
as the evenings become later
and the enthusiasm grows,
but no serious problems are
expected.
Dolan noted that less noise
and rowdiness are expected
from the teams themselves
than from their followers.
"Since the Class A schools
are located so close to Lin
coln most of the fans com
mute, taking a lot of the bur
den off of us," he added.
The five day forecast is
for temperatures close to nor
mal (high 46, low 27) until Sat
urday, when it will become
slightly warmer than normaL
One fourth to three fourths
inch of precipitation is pre
dicted for Wednesday and
Thursday.
