Pittenger
Proposes
Solution
Freshman football fans will
view the Cornhusker games
from the planned "South
Terrace" horseshoe addition
to Memorial Stadium if Stu
dent Council accepts yester
day's suggested solution to
the seating problem by James :
Pittenger, athletic ticket
manager.
Pittenger appeared before
the Council to explain the
results of his studies follow
ing widespread complaints af
ter 1100 students were forced
to buy bleacher tickets last
fall.
President Dennis Christie
announced that a formal mo
tion concerning the suggested
plan will be introduced at
next week's Council meeting.
He urged all members to con
tact as many of their consti
tuents as possible to obtain an
accurate sampling of opinion
on the issue. "This is a time
wnen everyone nas a cnance
to air
his gripes," Christie
said.
Pittenger listed three fac
tors which were instrumental
in the framing of the sugges
tion: the proposed horseshoe
addition to the stadium will
be ready for the 1964 season;
the department will try to ac
quire as many student seats
in East Stadium as possible;
and upperclassmen have
traditionally received more
privileges than freshmen.
He added that he is inter
ested in hearing from foot
ball fans about which sec
tions would be considered
choice in the South Terrace.
Answering a question by
Bob Kerry, Pittenger said
that he would leave it to the ;
Council to determine the fate!
of house blocks but suggested
that the block system be re
tained with an active block in
the East Stadium and a
pledge block in the South
Terrace.
Most universities report
about 50 per cent of their stu
dents buying football tickets,
said Pittenger, but 75 per
cent of the students here
bought them last fall.
The plan for next year (fig
uring 75 per cent of 13,000
students) would put 2,525
freshmen in the Terrace and
7,550 upperclassmen in the
present East Stadium seats.
Pittenger said that the
ticket department is regaining
as many seats as possible
from the public season ticket
sections to be used for stu
dent sections in the future.
"This gives us time to ex
pand with the freshmen class
as time goes along," he said.
"While we recognize that it
would be very tough though
not impossible to throw the
public out of the reserved sec
tions we are recapturing seats
when reserved tickets are
not sold for them."
Pittenger emphasized that
the seats in the South Terrace
will be identical to present
stadium seats. The Board of
Regents will accept bids for
the project April 8 and pro
bably award a contract short
ly thereafter, he said.
Another problem concerning
the football tickets is the
transfer of student tickets to
non students, the ticket man
ager said. "T-ast year we "M
little support from students
who got pfeferred seats for
themselves and then sold
them to the public at a profit
to themselves. Student rates
are a privilege, not a right."
Pittenger said that some
system must be divised so
tickets could be checked
more accurately. The prob
lem was intensified, he ex
plained, when the ticket offi
ce allowed students with
bleacher tickets to exchange
with students holding stadi
um tickets.

YR Presidential Candidates
State Platforms And Views
By Travis Hiner
Junior Staff Writer
The Young Republican slate
committee will announce its
nominations for president of
Young Republicans at to
night's meeting. There will al
so be nominations from the
floor.
The DAILY NEBRASKAN
has interviewed the three can
didates who have indicated
their interest in the presiden
cy. The candidates are Bill
Harding, Steve Stastny
and '
Mark Anderson.
Harding's feelings
toward :
the civil rights issue were as
follows "There is no single an
swer to the question, but of
course every American should
support the Constitution and
live in accord with the deci
sions ofthe Supreme Court."
Harding declined to give his
opinions on presidential can
didacy, "due to the fact that
by taking official stand on
this, I would be, as a possible
officer of a official party or
ganization, going against the
wishes of the State Executive
Board of the Federation of the
Young Republicans, the exec
utive board of Young Republi
cans of the University and po
litical precedent in general.
The goals Harding has for
the club include more individ
ual participation by members.
He would like to make the
committees a more positive
contributing factor in the club.
The second candidate is
Steve Stastny who is a mem
ber of Theta XI fraternity.
Stastny's ideals follow those of

"Hamlet," the University
production may be held over
for a third night if enough
people indicate an interest.
The production is sold out
for Sunday and Monday
nights, both holdover nights.
A list of people who would
like to see it Tuesday night
is now being formulated.
Four hundred names are
needed in order to request
permission for the extra
night from Administration.
Two hundred names are yet
needed, according to Dr. Wil
liam Morgan, director of the
theater. ,
"If we received the same
support on every production,"
Morgan said, "we could build
up a theater similar to that
of Yale."
Morgan attributed the suc
cess of "Hamlet" to the ex
cellent "support received from
the newspapers, the oppor
tunity for students to see
photos depicting the produc
tion, and the fact that Shake
speare's plays, especially
"Hamlet," are good crowd
pullers.
Anyone wishing to attend on
Tuesday night may phone

tion and selecting a slate of
Greeks who can prove that
they have a basic knowledge
and preparation to serve in
the best interests of the Coun
cil. Opening the slate to all
men, he said, should raise the
quality of the elections even
more.
Other IFC officers ex
pressed similar feelings about
the new policy.
"In the past the IFC slate
I has represented only the best
a Goldwater conservative. On
the question of civil rights, he
is for integration, "but with
due respect to states' rights.
We need something gradual,"
he said. "You can't force the
issue with bayonets."
"I'm for a tax cut, but not
before the government cuts
Us spending." He is for a
unicameral partisan group in
Nebraska's government.
"This would enforce parties
responsibility, increase and
strengthen the parties and
i help the governor get his pro-
grams through."
Stastny feels Goldwater will
get the Republican presiden
tial nomination by a good ma
jority. Stastny has been a p a s t
president of Young Republi
cans, presently chairman of
the budget committee, and a
member of the executive
council of Midwest Colleges.
"I would like to geUthe
club going again. Also get
more speakers and use more
films. We need to publicize our
club's library," he stated. He
would like to make the club
into an effective instrument
during election time. An ex
ample, he said, would be door-to-door
work. He believes that
many areas in the club need
expanding and the commit
tees should be made more ac
tive, especially during elec
tion time.
Mark Anderson the third
candidate is a member of
Farmllouse fraternity. Ander
son stands behind the Civil
Rights bill which is in the;

qualified male Greeks" said
John Lonnquist, chairman of
the expansion committee.
"We feel that this practice of
slating only Greeks excluded
many qualified men and
hence was defeating the basic
purpose of the IFC slate,
which was to support the best
men for the Council."
Tom Kort, a member of
both IFC and Student Coun
cil, indicated that the motion
will also be beneficial to the
Senate now, but says it will
be a secondary issue in the
coming election.
When asked about' the gov
ernment role in the economy,
he stated, "The public, sphere
has grown at the expense of
the private sphere. Govern
ment control should be re
duced and the trend re
versed." Anderson says that Nebras
ka should change to a parti
san Unicameral for a num
ber of reasons. First it would
increase the responsibility of
the legislators to the voters.
Second, the voters would know
where their representatives
stood, thirdly, responsibility
and blame could be attached
to different political parties,
and the parties would provide
leadership.
Nixon or Goldwater is his
prediction for presidential
candidate. "I'll let the gover
norship of Nebraska be de
cided at the polls."
"I would like to set up a
debate between Jack Komans
and Dwight Burney for the
ins. aiso l wouio. 1 1 k e
to
switch from local speakers to
speakers on the national scene
who speak on national is
sues ... We need a repre
sentative system in every liv
ing unit in order to increase
membership ... We have
to make a greater attempt
to contact freshmen."
"I promise a vigorous pri
mary this spring, and an
equally vigorous campaign on
campus ana in Lancaster
county next fall.

Council. "The Student Coun
cil appreciates the fact that
men backed by the IFC slate
have contributed to the
strength of the Council in the
past and that IFC has done
a responsible job of backing
candidates for the Council,"
he said.
"The increased interest in
the slate stimulated by this
motion should bring in a
greater number of qualified
men to interview," he con
tinued. Reaction from independent
leaders was enthusiastic.
The possibility of indepen
dent men more fully cooper
ating in Council elections
should bring about greater
understanding among cam
pus groups, said Gerald
Pierce, chairman of the Pres
idents' Council of Cather
Hall.
"This is a very good idea,"
he said. "Perhaps this will
end the continual in-fighting
between the Greeks and in
dependents on campus."
Gary Pokorny, president of
the Residence Association for
Men (RAM), explained that
the new policy will enable a
large amount of untapped po
tential to become available for
Council service.
"This action represents a
major victory for the entire j
University because of the im- j
provements that will result in j
the quality of Student Coun-I
cil candidates."
IFC slate interviews will
start at 3 p.m. March 26. Ad- :
plications will be available in
the IFC office.
"I think its a step in the
right direction," said Dennis
Christie, president of Stu
dent Council. Christie ex
plained that the action will
help the Council to become a
more renrpspntative hndv
i feel that there are qual-
jified people in all parts of:
the campus and that being a
slate will give them more'
support than they otherwise
would have had."
Christie expressed strong
hopes that all other campus
organizations sponsor
ing slates will also remove
restrictions on participation
in their slate.
IFC slate interviews will
start at 3 p.m. March 26. Ap
plications are available in the
IFC office.

Student Council
Unanimously Decides
To Set Up Committee
Student Council yesterday
unanimously decided to in
vestigate discrimination
against University students
both on campus and in Lin
coln. A motion introduced by Ann
Wahl called for a committee
to investigate discrimination
and to prepare a report evalu
ating problems and progress.
President Dennis Christie an
nounced that he would decide
late in the week whether to
create a special committee or
refer the study to the Student
Welfare committee.
Miss Wahl, in introducing
her motion, said "This does
not advocate any specific ac
tion besides the establishment
of a study group to gather
information." She stated that
the committee could have two
purposes: compiling informa
tion concerning the problem
and generating student inter
est in the issue.
"The only final change will
be in people's attitudes," she
said. "The time to start is
now and the way to start is
with a study group."
Miss Wahl then yielded the
floor to Arnie Garson, man
aging editor of the DAILY
NEBRASKAN, who an
nounced a forthcoming series
of articles on the discrimina
tion problem which will ap
pear in the paper. Garson said
that the series would help the
committee with background
information on their study.
The two most serious areas
of discrimination, said Gar
son, are against Negroes and
foreign students. His words
were echoed by Bobby Ko
techa, who expressed hope
that foreign students will be
able to carry better impres-
Greek Week
Events Told
The schedule for Greek
Week, to be held April 10 to
14, has been revealed by Stan
Miller, IFC representative.
A parade starting at t h e
Sigma Chi house will launch
the program April 10. A char
iot from each fraternity rid
den by a representative from
each sorority will comprise
the parade. Greek games will
be held at the south practice
field in the afternoon.
The Greek Week ball will
be held April 11 at the Persh
ing Auditorium with the As
tronauts playing.
Other events during the
week will be exchange din
ners, a housemother's tea and
a recognition dinner. Awards
will be given at the recog
nition dinner to the top three
male and female scholars, and
William Hamser, Phi Delta
Theta alum, will speak.
Winners' Albums Here
Students who possessed the
winning tickets at the Ford
show, Jazz Wing Ding, may
pick up their record albums
in the Union program office
Friday or Monday.
.
V u
them than
Kotecha listed housing,
service and the right to join
a Greek house as examples
of discrimination against for
eign students.
In answer to a question by
Mike Barton of whether the
investigation should include
fraternities and sororities,
Garson said that the Intra
fraternity Council report on
discrimination in the Greek
system would be available to
the group.
The series in the DAILY
NEBRASKAN will include
reports on background, hous
ing, social life and academic
affairs, said Garson.
In other business Susie
Pierce reminded the Council
that Spring Day interviews
will be held from 3-5 p.m. Sun
day and that filings for the
general election will be ac
cepted between April 6 and 11.
Tom Kort, chairman of the
Public Issues committee, re
ported that about 18 people
attended the Student Drinking
forum Monday. "If we try an
other forum, we will have
someone from outside the
University," he said.
We will get "someone from
the state government," Kort
said in answer to a comment
that most students were not
interested in the administra
tive and psychological prob
lems involved in drinking as
much as the possibility of the
institution of a 3.2 beer law
for college students under the
legal drinking age of 21.
Susie Segrist announced the
Model United Nations dele
gates for the Wesleyan Model
United Nations. The delega
tions, headed by Maureen
Frolik and Bob Weaver, will
represent Cyprus and Turkey.
The Council appropriated
$24 to pay entry and a re
quired banquet fee for the
delegates.
Any organization planning
to have a Master speaker
should contact John Lydick
before Friday.
