ual fit of laughter. He rem
inisced about an old college
sweetheart. He repeatedly
marvelled at the beauty of
University coeds.
Master Robert Hardt drew
students like a magnet where-
ever he went. Even after the
final evaluation session had
ended Hardt kept a throng of
students and administrators
laughing heartily as he and
fellow Master Edward Stan
ley exchanged friendly jibes.
Earlier, during the evalua
tion session, when Stanley
said he enjoyed talking with
the students, Hardt quipped,"
When did you first notice
that you liked to talk?" The
two men did not know each
other prior to Tuesday morn
ing. Mrs. Stanley later called
Hardt a "jewel," explaining
that anyone who could be as
disruptive as he had been was
"tops".
Hardt laughingly called him
self a "bookworm" while in
college but later confided that
this was somewhat of an ex
aggeration. His college days
were very memorable, he
said. He acquired the "boot
worm" tag one afternoon
when he became engrossed in
a laboratory project and for
got about a date he had made
with a coed.
But each time a student
asked him about a success
formula, Master Hardt
stressed two guiding princi
ples. The first is putting forth
an extra measure of effort in
everything you do. He noted
that when he first went to
work he told his wife that he
could be a corner druggist
and work from 9 to 5 every
day, or that he could go into
the pharmaceutical industry
and work harder traveling
and studying while he was
young.
He recalled spending week
ends and evenings in libraries
during his early employment
with E. R. Squibb and Sons.
Because other new employees
thought their day ended at 5
p.m. Hardt was able to ad
vance rapidly.

P
College Schooling More Competitive;
Many Fail After High School Success
The IFC amendment which
would have let a person with
an 87 percent average in high
school go through rush week
and pledge even though he
wasn't in the top half of his
class was not passed at the
IFC meeting last night.
After looking into the ques
tion quite thoroughly, the
committee decided the p r o
posal wasn't feasible. Various
reasons were given for this
decision. It was found that
over one half of the students
at the University were in the
first quartile of their high
school class. Another third of
the students were in the sec
ond quartile of their graduat
ing class.
This brings out the fact that
college is more competitive
than high school and thus
scholarship is higher. It was
brought out also that even
though all pledges last year
were in the upper half, a sur
prising number didn't make
an average which would al
low them to be initiated. Out
of all the pledges that were
in the first quartile of their
high school class, only 70 per
cent made their average, and
only 35 percent of those who
graduated in the second quar
tile made their average.
It was shown that those stu
dents who had a good average
in high school and did well on
augural program but was
abroad at the time. He later
met Chris Christianson, one of
last year's Masters, who toll
him to be sure and accept if
he ever had the opportunity
to participate in the program
Hardt noted that his inter
est in higher education has
been consistent throughout his
career. He was justifiably
proud of the fact that he
spends a lot of time on col
lege campuses. In recent
years he had addressed stu
dents at Purdue, Illinois,
Rensslaer Polytechnic Insti
tute, Iowa, St. Johns, Ford
ham and now Nebraska.
When asked why he thought
it so important to devote a
lot of his time to college lec
tures, Hardt replied that he
was doing an important pub
lic relations job in addition to
serving the students.
On the light side he quipped
that he has decided to go
back to work after four
months of retirement because
he discovered his wife doesn't

the college entrance examina
tion were also successful in
college. But students who did
well on the college entrance
exam, but didn't have a good
average in high school weren't
very successful in college.
The committee concluded
that if the Greek system was
to remain strong, it must con
tinue to be selective. The is
sue was brought up because
some felt that the scholarship
in some schools was harder
than in others. For example
in one high school last year
it took something like a 91 per
cent average to be in the up'
per halt. However it was
shown that lower half of this
school did just as poorly in
college as the lower half of a
school that didn't have as high
a cut off point.
The council also passed a
resolution reaffirming the 1961
resolution which condemned
the sub rosa fraternities. This
was passed with a unanimous
vote by the representatives of
the fraternities. The proposal
said that the sub rosas were
in direct violation with the
constitutions and laws of IFC
and all the fraternities.
The summation of the pro
posal read: "We definitely
frown on any action by mem
bers or alleged members of
such organizations, and offer
our firm statement of non-af-
Students
like him home for lunch. Ac
tually Hardt has been elected
a director of Ketchum and
Co., Inc., Chicago, where he
will be Consultant in Profes
sional Relations.
It was plain to this reporter
that Hardt made an unfor
gettable impression on the
thousands with whom he
talked during the Masters
Program. The one instance in
which he was overlooked was
shortlived. Chancellor Hardin
inadvertently forgot to intro
duce him at the Honors Con
vocation Tuesday. Professor
Leroy L a s s e dramatically
whispered the oversight to the
Chancellor just as the Convo
cation was being dismissed.
With a typical laughing ges
ture Hardt waved recognition
to the crowd and the Chan
celler when he was intro
duced. After the Convocation Hardt
explained that he didn't mind
being momentarily over
looked. "It gave me a chance
to make a more memorable
impression," he laughed.-

filiation and of non-support to
any of their activities. We
further label such men as
'non-greek-Greeks' and will
work to secure the elimination
of such elements from our
campus community."
The IFC plans to print a
pamphlet which will tell about
these illegal fraternities and
tell how they can destroy the
Greek system and the Uni
versity as a whole. Tom
Brewster, president of IFC,
described the sub rosas as a
"cancer that keeps popping
out." It was brought out that
it is the policy of all f r a
ternities that members cannot
belong to any secret organi
zations such as these.
Where the sub rosas are
strong the greek system is
weak and crumbles. There are
no attributes or reasons justi
fying their existance. It was
also pointed out that if these
secret fraternities are doing
as much good for the campus
as they say they are, then
why are they secret?
It was asked at the meeting
that all the Greeks get out
and vote Monday for the stu
dent council representatives.
It was added that the IFC
slate needs the support of all
the fraternities.

College faculties and public
school officials need to re
examine social studies cour
ses in light of the need for
increased emphasis on eco
nomic education.
That is the opinion of two
nationally-known economists
who led discussions at an
Economic Education Confer
ence in Lincoln last week.
Representatives of Nebraska
colleges and universities and
public schools attended the
conference sponsored by the
Nebraska Council on Eco

Seniors 27 May Live
In Off-Campus Housing
Helen Snyder, associate dean of Student Affairs, has
announced a new ruling which states that senior girls who
are 21 years old or older, have senior standing and have
permission from their parents may live off-campus next
year.
The ruling, which is a tem
porary change in housing
rules, came as a result of the
lack of housing facilities on
the campus next year. The in
creased enrollment, coupled
with the uncompleted new
men's dorm, have caused the
girls dormitory housing situa
tion to be very tight.
The lack of room will be
taken care of when the new
men's dorm is completed, and
girls will live in Cather Hall.
Dean Snyder said the ruling
applies only to dormitory
girls, and not sorority houses.
"This is not a change of pol
icy," she emphasized, but
merely a temporary ruling
for the 1964-65 school year,
pending completion of the
new dormitory.
There have been no replys
yet from interested girls, but
those who fit the require
ments may apply any time to
Miss Francis Holman, Resi
dent Director.
Dean Snyder said that
someone was going to have to
live off campus next year.
"and we felt the seniors were
best capable of handling the
situation.
According to the recent rul
ing by the Lincoln City Coun
cil, only three girls may live
in one apartment or house in
the city of Lincoln.

City, la. "We need to increase
and improve the economic
content in all social studies
courses.
"If we are to improve the
teaching of economics in our
schools, we must provide suit

teachers. This may require a
new look at graduate degrees
to provide economic back
ground through interdepart

Family
Definition
Opposed
Council Choses
New Pub Board
Student Council yesterday
went on record as opposing
City Council's recent defini
tion of "family" and recom
mending that the Office of
Student Affairs protest the
exclusion of groups of stu
dents from living in family
housing areas.
Council also selected three
student members for positions
on the Faculty Senate Sub
committee on Student Publi
cations (Pub Board). Chosen
after nearly two hours of in
terviews and discussion were
Karen Gunlicks, senior mem
ber, Cuz Guenzel, junior mem
ber, and Chuck Sayre, sopho
more member.
The housing motion, intro
duced by Welfare Committee
Chairman Bob Kerrey, follows
a ruling by the Lincoln City
Council that only families
may live in family zones and
that a group of students is
not a family.
Kerrey indicated that he bad
received several letters of
protest from those studnets
who would have to make other
living arrangements. "I don't
think this law is necessary
for the development of the
city," he said.
Miss Gunlicks was elected
over Jim Moore. During the
interviews of both candidates,
the problems currently faced
by the DAILY NEBRASKAN
and the CORNHUSKER were
given a thorough airing.
Moore said that the paper
needs more money for s a 1
aries although it is presently
running a large deficit annual
ly. He indicated that the quali
ty of the CORNHUSKER is
impaired because funds from
the yearbook's profits are
used to make up the paper's
losses.
Miss Gunlicks said that the
size or quality of both staffs
is not seriously lacking at the
present time, but "I can see
it coming."
Both listed a raise in stu
dent fees or a cut in the num
ber of papers printed each
day as possible solutions to
the deficit.
The junior candidates were
Miss Guenzel and Karen
Johnson. Miss Johnson said
that the first steps toward
eliminating deficit will come
when "students trample each
other to get the 2,000 papers
that we can afford to print
next year."
Miss Guenzel's interview
centered around the topic of
Pub Board's control of DAILY
NEBRASKAN columnists. "If
you curtail the editorial page,
the paper doesn't belong to
the editor any more. Is this
worth wasting a good editor?"
Miss Guenzel and Miss Gun
licks are members of Pub
Board at the present time.
The sophomore interviewees
were asked whether they
thought the quality of the
DAILY NEBRASKAN had im
proved since the first semes
ter of this year. Sayre said
"Although the paper is less
controversial this semester,
the quality is about the same."
"Our economy has not been
tested and the rest of the
world is not going to be sat
isfied with what we have ac
complished in the past," Cole
man said.
"Most of our economic dis
cussions are carried on with
a mass of slogans, supersti
tions, myths, faulty reasoning,
fears and apathy." He cited
apathy as the "most destruc
tive force in our. economy."
"The problem is not one of
losing our freedom, but loss
of the forward thrust in our
e c o n o m y," he submitted.
"The possibilities or oppor
tunities this economy faces
cannot be realized without an
increase in economic under-
standing."
