UNIVERSITY OP NEBR. LIBRARY 2 1964 ftftcwvet The final nominations ior Outstanding Nebraskan Award are Dr. Donald Pace, Diane Armour, Gary Radii, Bob Sidell, Mike White and Victor Lacy. Nominations for the honor, the winner of which will be announced in tomor row's DAILY NEBRASKAN, were so heavy that they have been run all week, although the deadline for their submis sion was Monday. The nominations include 12 students and seven faculty members. Pace . . . The letter nominating Pace, who is professor of physiology and director of the Institute for C e 1 1 u 1 a r Research, re ferred to his "rare instance of combined outstanding re search and teaching talent." "Pace adopted Nebraska in the middle 1940 s and since then has rejected clinical di rectorships, endowed private chairs and so called 'prestige appointments' to r e m a i n at Nebraska. Here, he has fo cused critical internation al and sensitive scientific at tention on the University." "At present, strains of hu man and animal cells, kept living outside the body, are the focal point of concentrated research under Pace's direc tion. Following a theory ad vanced by Nobel Prize win ning scientist Dr. Otto War burg, he is testing reaction of cells to low oxygen concen tration trying to uncover what mechanism is damaged with in the cell that brings about malignant change. "He has developed a human lung cell strain from which two cell lines have been iso lated. Pace's research is point ing to the answer in malig nancy. When the answer is discovered, there is great hope that the fight against cancer will have an additional powerful weapon .This will be Pace's continued contribution to humanity. "Beyond his research tal ents, Pace hag written two highly used college textbooks. "Co liege Physiology" and "Physiology and Anatomy for Norses." He is also prob ably the leader in bringing re search grants to the Univer sity his National Institute of Health standing has result ed in national attraction." "Pace has been honored by his alma mater, Susquehanna University, as its Dis tinguished Outstanding Alum ni; his prior teaching chairs have been at Duke Univer sity and John Hopkins Univer sity." Pace's gigantic reputation! has taken him to the Interna tional Cancer Conference in Moscow in 1963, hundreds of scientific conferences in t h e United States and 1965 will see him playing a prominent role in the International Cancer Research Institute in Tokyo, Japan." "He embodies the pioneer spirit of Nebraska hi re search endeavors catapult him to the zenith of his chosen profession his warm manly qualities make him a tower of strength within the Universi ty's faculty. Beloved by stu dentsfor he has never for gotten his public health or graduate classes; respected bv his colleagues, and valued and cheered by lawmakers be cause of his energy, Integrity and conslstancy, he standi as a mark of human industry and theoretical devotion." 'Humble and cautious, he would not seek this recogni tion himself, however those Nebraskans and those schol ars world wide who know him will join in thunderous ap plause at the recognition of this truly Outstanding Ne braskan." Miss Armour The letter of nomination for Miss Armour stated that she deserved the honor on the bas is of her record of accomplish ments at the University. "Her scholastic abilities have al ways been evident. She proved her merit as a freshman by being initiated into Alpha Lambda Delta scholastic hon orary for women." "In 1901 Miss Armour was chosen to represent her class vr. the Dean's Advisory Board cl Teachers College. Rewards for her efforts continued throughout hr Junior year as sh was ms'd not only as a member of Mortar Btards but as secretary of this honorary on Ivy Day." "Miss Armour has been on the University honor roll throughout her college career with an accumulative grade average of 7.514. On Ivy Day. Mf IMeisavs Q u f 1964, she was the recipient of the American Association of University Women Award, giv en to the outstanding senior woman." "With all her scholastic achievements, Miss Armour has still found time to active ly participate in University organizations. During her freshman year she was in a variety of activities and worked hard on them." "As a worker on Hospitality Committee of Nebraska Union, she was recognized as an outstanding worker."

Most agree such "off-campus" expansion is near. Most sororities have adopt ed a "wait for a while" pol icy after recent additions have enlarged rooming facilities. At least five sororities have built on in the last three years Alpha Chi Omega, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Alpha Phi and Delta Gamma. The Kappa Kappa Gammas are to build a ten -room ad- Math Honorary Selects Officers; Membership Told Randall Heckman is the new director of Pi Mu Epsi lon, mathematics honorary at the University.

Miss Stanton feels the new addition, which will house 20 girls, will keep her sorority "set" for quite a while. She said most other soroities were not feeling immediate grow ing pains. Only Alpha Delta Pi, the University's newest sor ority, has no place to ex pand. Presently cramped in Terrace Hall, the two year old group already has a 'good number of members in t h e Women's dormitories. Two months ago, when the ADPI's asked to buy some University land at 16th and R St., the Board of Regents de clined. According to Mrs. Howard Elm, ADPi house cor poration board member, the sorority "wants to build," but can't find a spot on or next to campus where ADPU could comfortably reside as part of the University community. Mrs. Elm said no solution was in sight, but that an ADPI national representative will be coming in early sum mer to confer with the Admin istration. She suggested that fraternities, perhaps In collec tive effort, might soon buy Theater To Present Three One-Act Play University Laboratory The ater is presenting three one act plays the evenings of May 31 and June 1.

"With all her activities and consistently high scholarship, Miss Armour still found time to contribute to the work of her sorority, Pi Beta Phi. As a freshman she held two of fices in her pledge class and initiated a service project for her pledge class." "Her sophomore year she served as the Pi Phi courtesy chairman and also represent ed her class as sophomore rep resentative on the scholarship committee. Her junior and senior year also found her ful The Daily Nebraskan crp nn 1 InJaBllCL krtin's Idea Results In Changes Student Tribunal has emerged from a period of un certainty as an effective in stitution which is regarded as a "safeguard for students and an aid to the Administration," according to Dick Rosenberg, Tribunal chairman. Rosenberg, presenting h i s semester report to Student Council, outlined the Tribun- j al's development from the former policy of handling many minor cases by preced ent, through the period of ad justment early this year to its present setup. The change were brought about through the concept af fixed to the Tribunal by J. Winston Martin, associate dean of Student Affairs, who came to the University last fall. Rosenberg explained Martin's "conduct counsel ling" idea, which sought to minimize embarrassment and punishment in favor of under- OffSfOfl BQQ$tS property off the campus to "take the big step." Fraternities seem to agree that they might be the first establishing houses "off-campus", but none have definite plans for that move. Phi Gam ma Delta and the Theta Xi's have considered additions while Alpha Tau Omega has definite plans to begin build ing by 1965 into their back parking lot. Most of the es tablished houses have or plan to build additions on campus. Kappa Alpha Psi, new and yet to be recognized, has no definite house plans, ac cording to President Gene Young. Young said that the future for the fraternity has! been limtied to "looking around." Daily Nebraskan Applications Due rr .

"It is evident that Miss Ar mour could not have received all of these honors and gained all of these rewards without a pleasing and outgoing per sonality. Her honors reflected not only upon herself, but up on her family when she was chosen to be an Ak-Sar-B e n Countess." Lacy . . . Nine students nominated Victor Lacy in a letter to the DAILY NEBRASKAN. The standing and rehabilitation to the offender. A major point in "conduct counselling" is the bypassing of conduct probation by the Tribunal in making recom mendations for punishment to the Division of Student Af fairs. Rather than a fixed term in which the student is banned from campus activi ties, Rosenberg said, offend ers are put on probation with out restriction for the duration of their time at the Univer sity. "Under this plan our pun ishment is not negative," Ros enberg said. "In the past the offenders often repeated their mistakes because they had more time on their hands." Rosenberg termed "espe cially important" anagree ment between Martin and the Tribunal that no student could be dropped from the Univer sity without a chance to ap pear before the Tribunal. In reviewing the reasons that the Tribunal has heard fewer cases this year than In preceeding years, Rosenberg said that, although minor in fractions and minor-in-poses-sion offenses no longer come before the Tribunal, Martin's personal conferences achieve better results than Tribunal action. When an offense is re peated several times, howev er, the Tribunal would bear the case. "It is gratifying to note that we have been upheld in every case but one," Rosen berg said, in commending the cooperation between the Divi sion of Student Affairs and the Tribunal. The one case in volved immediate expulsion of a student whom the Tri bunal had recommended be allowed to finish the semester and not be readmitted. In answer to a question by John Klein, Rosenberg said that Administration has the right to overrule Tribunal de cisions, but such cases are the rare exception. In the spe cific case under discussion, he said the decision was ba sically the same "but Admin istration was just a little meaner." Tribunal members this year in addition to Rosenberg, ! were Dr. Dallas Williams and Dr. John Paustrano, faculty members and Jim McGlnnls Carla Tortora, Tom Chandler, Dick Schmelfng, John Lahiff and Terry Vogt, student mem bers. New Tribunal members were sworn in by Council President John Lydick. They ara Karen Johnson, V i c k i Dowling, Mike Wisemann, Jim McGinnis, Terry Vogt and Hal Daub. In other business Registrar Floyd Hoover explained the new system of registration by mail which will go into op eration next year. He spoke enthusiastically of the pro posed identification cards, which will be plastic and per manent, and which will en able the University to process cards, grades and schedules much faster than the present system allows. Susie Segrist asked Hoover If some arrangement would be made to mark the cards til 'in letter said that "Lacy has shown an unswerving desire and ability to promote the well-being and the active en joyment of life among those with whom he has come in contact." "This desire Is seen in all his interpersonal relationships and may be easily confirmed by simply talking to almost anyone with whom he has come in contact, so great is his influence among the im portant students of this Uni versity." Lacy was the winner of a four year Regents Scholar- Thursday, May 28, 1964 DDI during campus elections. Hoover said, "This is a prob lem I did not forsee, and this is why I came to Student Council." Hoover invited Miss Segrist to meet him next week to work out a solution. In the past, the paper ID cards were punched for identifica tion during elections. In conclusion, the Registrar expressed a wish to speak to the Council in the fall to tell about "some way-out day dreams," and the possibilities I carried in the coming world of computers. Phys Ed Required For Year All University students. with the exception of those in home economics and Teach ers Colleges, will be required to take one year of physical education in order to gradu ate, according to Lee Chat field, associate dean of Stu dent Affairs. Chatfield said that the de cision is "a current and in terim policy and could be changed after another year." ROTC courses may be substi tuted for the physical educa tion requirement. Home economics and teach ing students must take two years of physical education as specified by their respec tive and departmental college rules. Chatfield noted the differ ence between the prevailing policy under compulsory ROTC and the new policy on physical education. "Previ ously the Board of Regents required all students to take ROTC and substitute physi cal education if necessary." "Now the colleges require physical education and allow them to substitute ROTC." Broader knowledge of mathematics will be required of students studying agricul ture starting in September, 1966. But requirements for girls entering home economics will not be changed, accord ing to Dr. F. E. Eldridge, director of resident instruc tion. Present entrance require ments for agriculture stu dents are one unit of algebra and one unit of other mathe matics, preferably plane geometry or second-year alge bra. In 1966 the requirements will be two units of algebra and one unit of plane geome try.
