Two more nominations have been re
ceived by the DAILY NEBRASKAN for
the Outstanding Nebraskan award. Nom
inations will be accepted until Monday
and the winners will be announced Fri
day. Dr. Sue Arbuthnot is the third instruc
tor to be nominated. Her nomination was
submitted by 19 students with the state
ment "We are sure we're speaking for
many, many more."
Dr. Arbuthnot, a native Nebraskan,
has been a member of the University
staff since 1946. She received her B.S.
degree in 1940 from the University and
her M.A. in 1947. She received her Doc
torate of Education from Colorado State
College in 1961.
"Dr. Arbuthnot's contributions to Ne
braskans have continued unswervingly
throughout her many years of teaching
first in public schools in Nebraska, then
at the University," said the nomination.
"Her contributions do not end with
the teaching of classes. Countless students
can recall the many times when her ad-j
vice and sympathy (far beyond the call
of schedule advising) helped to solve or
remedy a personal problem. Never is she
too busy to give freely of her time in
order to help others. This wonderful as
set of hers is just one of the many great
and outstanding things about her."
Dr. Arbuthnot has served as the As
sociated Women Students (AWS) advisor
and as Red Cross advisor. She is sponsor
of the Association for Childhood Educa
tion (ACE) Student Branch, and also
served as international vice president of
the Association.
"This is just one indication of her rec
ognized stature'in the field of education,"
said the nomination.
The nomination stated that Dr. Ar
buthnot is not lacking in community ser
vice. Youngsters throughout the state have
benefited from the results of the free
reading clinic which she conducts. Also,
more than 1,000 children have benefited
during the past year alone from the
"Story Hour" which is presented under
her supervision at libraries throughout
Lincoln.
"In view of her sustained interest in
young people of all ages, as well as her
loyalty to and support of our state, one
could look long and far before finding a
Nebraskan more deserving of the award
than is Dr. Arbuthnot," said the nomina
tion. The first student to be nominated is
Dennis Christie. He is a senior in pre
med from Villisca, Iowa, majoring in
English.
He is a member and past officer of
Phi Eta Sigma, a member of Phi Beta
Kappa, and president of Theta Nu pre
med honorary.
He served as secretary of the Inno
cents Society in 1963-64, and as an offi
cer for two years in Phi Delta Theta
fraternity.
Christie was elected to the Student
Council in 1962 to represent the College
of Arts and Sciences, and was a holdover
member and president of the Council in
1963.
He served on two Interfraternity Coun
cil committees, and was chairman of the
Scholarship Committee.
He was elected vice-president of the
Big Eight Student Government Associa
tion in 1963. Christie has a 7.4 overall
grade average and has been accepted to
Northwestern University Medical School
with a substantial scholarship.
"Throughout his Council presidency,
Christie has demonstrated a flexible but
well-based philosophy on student govern
ment and campus politics. Christie is, in
my mind, one of the few real leaders on
campus who deserves the appelation,"
said the first nomination.
"His consistently accurate and sound
positions on issues and problems reflect
the realistic approach of his presidency.
Believing every student has a right to
present his views to the Council, Christie
allowed any student to speak en the floor
of the Council, regardless of his personal
convictions."
"Student Council under his leadership
set several important and far-reaching
precedents. The Council's position on the
drinking issue was largely determined by
his attitude towards the Council's duty to
hear all students."
"The Gather Hall representation prece
dent was set after Christie approved the
plan in the interests of fair play.
"It was under his leadership that a
constitutional convention was slated for the
fall to determine representation and
Council structure in the Interests of the
student body as a whole.
"It was under his influence that the
Student Welfare Committee was estab--lished
and carried the Council into en-:
tirely new realms. He expanded the Mas
ters Program, the Peace Corps Commit
tee and set up the Quiz Bowl Committee.
"As the vice-president of the Big Eight
Student Government Association, he lit
erally compelled the member schools into
several new programs which have ma
terially benefitted the Association and the
individual universities.
"His contributions to the University
have been many and long-lasting. As a
leader he excels any other student on the
University campus. His dedication, zeal,
enthusiasm, scholarship and respect de
serve final recognition.
"A truly outstanding scholar, out
standing leader and outstanding person,
whose commitment to ideals has never
blurred his down-to-earth approach, whose
respect is felt by all who have known
him, whose leadership and contributions
to the University have been deeply felt
and will be long remembered."
"It is with highest respect and regard
that I nominate Dennis Christie, a per
son, in my opinion, who is certainly the
most Outstanding Nebraskan on the Uni
versity campus."

University officials yester
day announced a complete
revision in registration pro
cedure which will eliminate
the necessity of students ar
riving on campus before the
first day of classes in t h e
fall.
Through the new system, all
registration and payment of
fees will be completed by
mail, according to Lee Chat

Students' Art On Exhibit
Bright color swirls of ab
stract subjects to charcoal
drawings and pottery are on
sale today at the Student Art
Sale in the Pan American
room of the Student Union.
The display is open from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m.
Officials At Illinois
Fear Narcotic Traffic
The Jazz-U-Like-It sessions
which are held at the Uni
versity of Illinois have been
accused ' of being a traffic
place for narcotics. The con
certs had been open to every
one including non-students un
til the mini Union Officials
were informed of the narcotic
traffic.
The Union officials said
that they had no way of prov
ing the suspicion but for the
sake of certainty they have
now banned non-students
from the sessions. The new
mandate was accused of
being directly tied in with the
heated racial question since
many of the non-students who
participated in the sessions
were Negro.
Directors of the Jazz-U
concerts however deny any
such activity at their concerts
and performers are threaten
ing to boycott the sessions.
The works, done by student
artists, include pen etchings,
modern abstracts, portraits,
oils, charcoal and ink draw
ings. Pottery has been a popular
item. Richard Scott, assistant
Union program manager, said
he believes nearly all of the
art work will be sold in the
two day period. Student buy
ing response has also been
good, Scott said.
Girls Housed
In Gustavson
For Next Year
A temporary shortage in
women's bousing will put 132
coeds into Selleck Quadrangle
next year, according to Willi
am Harper, director of Uni
versity Services.
"Areas for women's resi
dence were taxed even this
year," Harper said, "but as
far as we know, another dor
mitory will be available in the
fall of 1965, which will ease
the situation."
The girls will be housed in
Gustavson Hall, the 8000
building of Selleck, where
over 100 "(Jus Girls" lived
last year.
DAILY NEBRASKAN that
the procedure will be a great
benefit to the students, doing
away with the extensive red
tape they have encountered
in the past during New Stu
dent Week,
The first steps in the pro
cedure, which will become ef
fective next fall, are the nor
mal preregistration and pay
ment of the $25 deposit be
fore the student leaves
school in the spring. This
step is necessary, Chatfield
said, because worksheets are
not processed until the de
posit is received.
Students will receive class
assignment reports around
July 1, which will show for
which classes they are regis
tered and asking that any
changes be made at that
time. A letter which will ac
company this form requests
that students not make
changes to suit personal con
venience so that all students
will be able to .take the
courses they wish.
All necessary cards will be
mailed at that time, including
motor vehicle registration,
religious preference, and per
sonal information cards (for
freshmen.)
The changes and approved
schedules must be mailed to
the University before Aug. 1.
OSU Court Holds
Election Invalid
The Oklahoma State Uni
versity election for the entire
slate of Student Association
officers and student senators
was declared invalid by the
Student Supreme Court.
The Court ruled that the
ADril 14 eeneral election had
been improperly conducted
and ordered that another elec
tion be held.
The ruling came after an
association vice presidential
candidate filed a petition stat
ing that the party affiliation
of each candidate had not
been listed on the ballots.
A Stillwater senior had filed
a petition shortly before the
court convened asking that
the election be upheld.
Low Still Negotiating
With Iowa Wesleyan
Dr. Alfred Low, visiting pro
fessor of history at the Uni
versity, is "still negotiating"
with Iowa Wesleyan College
(IWC) and has not accepted
the post as head of the depart
ments of history and political
science as was stated in yes
terday's DAILY NEBRAS
KAN.
The DAILY NEBRASKAN
received the information from
an IWC press release.
During August, final registra
tion forms and tuition state
ments will be mailed out. The
registration forms are some
what similar to the large
sheets which students filled
out in the past at the time
they paid their fees.
The tuition statement will
show the amount of tuition,
cash payments and credits
for scholarships and awards
and the net balance due. If
the net balance is in the form
of a credit to the student, he
will make additional arrange
m e n t s for receiving the
balance of his awards.
Along with the new pro
cedure, a different type of stu
dent identification card will
be introduced, Chatfield said.
The card will be a permanent,
plastic embossed ID with the
name and student number
imprinted, resembling a cre
dit card or charge plate.
Space will be provided on the
reverse side of the card for a
sticker which will bring the
card up to date each semes
ter. The ID cards will be mailed
upon receipt of payment of
fees and completed registra
tion forms which carry a Lin
coln address.
No Cards Pulled
Until Deposit Paid
Students who have not paid
their S25 preregistration de
posit do not have classroom
space reserved even if they
have turned in their work
sheets, according to Lee Chat
field, associate dean of Stu
dent Affairs.
Chatfield said that the slow
receipt of the deposits is slow
ing progress on the Univer
sity's new register-by-mail
procedure.

Defeats
Proposal
Individual Houses
To Limit Functions
Panhellenic presidents'
council last night decided to
leave the matter of the num
ber of social functions per
week end up to the individual
house and to speak to the In
terfraternity Council (IFC)
about the matter.
An earlier proposal would
have limited the number of
functions to one a week end.
This proposal was defeated by
Panhellenic Council vote Mon
day and the matter was re
turned to the president's coun
cil for further consideration.
The reason for the proposal,
as outlined by Susan Arm
strong, chairman of the presi
dent's council, was to elimi
nate pledges feeling they have
too many functions. Helen Sny
der, associate dean of Student
Affairs, had received com
plaints from parents that
pledges did not have enough
time to themselves and their
studies.
The original proposal was
defeated Monday because
many girls felt that the
houses could decide this for
themselves and that there
would often be conflicts with
house parties and f o r m a 1 s,
when no function could be
planned.
The president's council felt
that they would rather have
Panhellenic limit themselves,
rather than have administra
tion crack down on them, ac
cording to one president.
Wishnow Enthused
Choral Union Will Perform Sunday
If the enthusiasm of the
University's Choral Union
director is any indication,
the performance of Beethov
en's Ninth Symphony Sun
day should be stirring.
Emanuel Wishnow, chair
man of the department of
music, admits that he is as
excited as any of his stu
dents about the final major
musical performance of the
school year.
Wishnow will lift his baton
promptly at 8 p.m. in the
Coliseum, and the sounds of
700 student voices, a 70
piece orchestra and profes
sional soloists from New
York City will be forthcom
ing. The performance is
free.
"Perhaps every musician
since the time of Beethoven
has regarded that work as
monumental," he said. "It
is such a great piece of mu
sic that men would still be
trying to put together some
thing like it if it had not
been done."
In addition to the Beet
hoven work, the combined
chorus will sing Zoltan Ko
daly's "Te Deum," a mod
ern religious concert piece
written in 1936.
The soloists, all from the
New York City Center Op
era Company, are Mary
Jennings, soprano; Cecilia
Ward, mezzo-soprano; How
ard Fried, tenor, and John
Fiorito, bass.
