Farmllouso, with a 8.209
average, and Chi Omega,
with a 6.453 average, were
tops scholastically among
men's and women's living
units for the second semester
of the 1963-64 school year.
Chi Omega has been one of
the scholastic leaders among
women's units for several
years, and this marked
FarmHouse's 24th straight
semester as the men's
leader. Chi Omega
President Lynn Schrader
gave credit to a good scholas

the reason for its success.
Dennis Swanstrom, Farm

"attitude, atmosphere, and
selection" as the reasons for
his house's continued excellence.

Circulation
To Houses
The Daily Nebraskan will
be distributed in living units
this year, instead of in class
room buildings.
Due to traffic problems and
the fact that many students
were taking more than one
paper, a new circulation sys
tem will be tried out this fall.
The paper will be distri
buted to all living units on
city and ag campuses, the
Coliseum, the Administration
Building, and the Nebraska
Union and Ag Campus Union.
Newspapers will also be

Home Ec
Center
Opens
A new home economics
service center which will
provide basic courses in con
sumer education to non-home
economic majors opened this
fall in Raymond Hall.
Mrs. Virginia Trotter, as
sociate dean of the College of
Agriculture and Home Eco
nomics, described the new
home economics teaching
area as "a non-lab facility
where students in other dis
ciplines, as well as home ec
majors, can gain an under
standing of the need for im
proved homes and better liv
ing for all families."
Both men and women will
be able to take the courses
when inch'de home manage
ment, finance, marriage and
family and child development
courses.
"The courses will be help
ful to any man or woman who
plans to marry and raise a
family," Mrs. Trotter ex
plained. The teaching center
will provide a general educa
tion for the home and fam
ily. "The family is the basic
unit for our whole society,"
she emphasized.
The Carrie Bell Raymond
Hall facilities, in room 110A,
are composed of two class
rooms. One is a combination
demonstration-lecture room.
Courses which formerly in
cluded a laboratory will be
taught by the demonstration
method.
"Every girl hasn't had the
opportunity for this type of
education," Dean Trotter
said. "We feel these courses
will be of value to any young
man or woman."
Other courses being offered
this fall are Home Manage
ment 82, Family Finance 262,
Home Furnishing Selec
tion 87, Introduction to Nu
trition 104, Human Develop
ment and the Family 91, Mar
riage and Family 191, Child
Development 192 and Tex
tiles 106.
Many living units came up
scholastically and helped
push the semester's all uni
versity average to a mark of
5.508. This resulted from an
all female average of 5.877
and an all male average of
5.327. The all Greek average
last semester was 5.790, with
the all sorority average 6.141
and the all fraternity average
5.545. The all women's resi

who '
said it was a natural night
for such a program, and this
would keep the students to
gether. 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."

Jack Snider, band director,

For the first time the process

the summer.
Although an occasional stu

the majority welcomed i t s

"The new system does re
quire greater administrative
effort," Hoover said, "but it's
spread out over the entire

A problem common to most

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

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.
