Usually this night is taken over by college nights. It was the hope of the Administra tion, IFC and PanheUenic that the union event would elimi nate the college nights. The Primers played in the Ballroom, and the Marauders entertained in the Pan Amer ican Room allowing for more space to dance than was given in the past. A hootenanny was held in the cafeteria with the Cellar Dwellers, a profession al folk group from Omaha. James Hornsby, night man ager of the Union said that the group was very well be haved, and that the program was an unqualified success. The admission ticket was redeemable for a free coke, a free line of bowling, or time at a pool table. Only one-third of the tickets were used; many people said that they did not know about the free offers. Only 150 tickets were turned in at the games area, and 536 tickets were used for free cokes. Richard Scott, assistant program manager for the Union, said that the program was well planned. He added that the Union was pleased to be of service, and that they would be glad to have the program again next year. Typical reactions to the program were that it was more thorough then past years. One student said that she was pleased that there were more things to do than dance, '1 liked the hootenan ny and it was a nice change l.om the dancing."

Eight snare drummers wore special rigs to keep the drums high on their chests and to allow them to step out high and fancy. Jack Snider, band director, explained, "The drummers always have been hampered in smart marching because of the traditional method of rest ing the drums on the left leg. We decided to experiment and try something new." Fans who didn't see the Orange Bowl game in Miami were treated to a special show as the band put on the New Year's Day halftime show.

Except for late registrants, this fall's record enrollment had an easy time registering. For the first time the process was handled by mail during the summer. Although an occasional stu dent ran into difficulties with the new system, Hoover said the majority welcomed i t s introduction. "The new system does re quire greater administrative effort," Hoover said, "but it's spread out over the entire summer, and, - if it pleases the student, it's worth it." A problem common to most registering students was fail ure to receive new ID cards during the summer. The cards, held up in printing, were received by the end of last week.

Federal ap proval of the new University Dental College ic expected in one or two months, according to Ireland. If the new school is ap proved, it will be located at the Ag campus instead of the city campus. Because of the change in the location of t h e school, Ag campus will prob ably lose its name. One cf the new names up for considera tion is Lincoln East Campu?. Construction of the college should begin sometime next spring or Summer and should be f i n i s h e d by 1967. This project will expand the pres ent dental college enrollment by 20 per cent or from 35 to 56. The present Dental School has been housed on the third floor of Andrews Hall since 1928. State Senator Marvin Stro mer, chairman of the Legis lative Council's Committee on Higher Education, said ap proval of the new school by the federal government is very good because the Uni versity has been planning ahead and the Nebraska Leg' islature has enacted legisla tion that will provide a sizable part of the funding for the new school. The newly in creased mill levy in Nebraska will provide $1,750,000 for the school and the federal govern ment will provide the rest.
