Comments were: "a thought-provoking exper ience," "a good place to meet people." Gary Pokorny, one of the counselors, said "The most important benefit is that these scared freshmen get to meet the teachers someplace other than the class room.

The Daily Nebraskan since it was made non-compulsory by the f-toard of Re gents last spring. Col. Elmer Powell, com manding officer of the Army ROTC attributed the drop in Million Dollars Received In Aid University of Nebraska stu dents are receiving over one million dollars in scholarship funds this year, according to Edward Lundak, new director of scholarship and financial aids. The financial aid is divided among thousands of students. This aid takes the form of several types of scholarships and loans, for which many students are eligible to apply. According to Lundak, stu dents are eligible to receive certain types of loans with as low as a 4.5 average. A 5.0 average is required for a Fed eral Defense Loan and a 6.0 average makes a student eli gible for any of the upper class financial aids. "Before a student can get upperclass financial aid he must take the upperclass Re gent's exam," Lundak empha sized. "This exam is given to all students wishing to take it and is given early in the second semester. All students wishing to apply for financial aid or for r e n e w a 1 ot aid they now receive must take this exam." Recipients of the 300 Upper- class Regents Scholarships are determined by a compo site of this test score, their class standing in their college and their overall grade average. For other awards, these are also the factors which deter mine their recipients, unless the trust agreement specifies that financial need of the stu dent also be taken into con sideration. Financial need is the main determinate of those who receive loans. Mr. Lundak encouraged all students to visit him and to take advantage of the schol arship program. "If students have financial problems, this is the place to come, and they don't necessarily have to be referred here by anyone," he said. A retired Air Force lieuten ant colonel, Lundak replaced Eldon Teton as director of scholarships and financial aids this year. He had entered the University as a graduate stu dent in 1960 after serving 22 years as a B-17 pilot and per sonnel officer in the Strategic Air Command. We Have Wednesday, D) ir a enrollment to the new volun tary program, but said that there are still sophomores volunteering to continue in the program who wish to further their preparation as leaders in the Army. Powell said that fraternity men in the advanced courses are talking to this year's soph omores in their houses trying to convince them that the program has merits and should be continued. He said he hopes this will boost the present enrollment. The University, as a land grant college, must offer a ROTC program. The Board of Regents, until last spring maintained that the program be compulsory, but at that time decided that University Classes Big, But Problems Controlled Thanks to pre-registration the traditional freshmen Eng lish enrollment problem has grown no larger this year. There has always been a problem getting students to the right classes at the right time, and with the increased enrollment the problem has become even larger, Ned Hedges, assistant director of freshmen English, said yes' terday. Twenty-five member class es are still possible because of the increase in the English department staff. The problem of finding rooms for the greater num ber of classes has been solved by holding freshmen English in Lyman, Morrill, Bessey, Burnett and Stout Halls. On Ag Campus classes are held in Ag Hall, Ag Engineering building and even in the Dairy Industry building. "Though we expect the us ual long lines of students wishing to drop and add or change hours of classes, I have been sitting here almost ten minutes and have not seen a student," Hedges com mented. Fellowship Group Holds Fall Picnic The Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship will hold its an nual fall picnic Saturday at Pioneers Park. A special invitation is ex tended to all new students. Transportation will be pro vided from the south en trance of the Student Union at 4:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the picnic for ,50 cents. No Bananas! September 23, 1964 enrollment was becoming so large that it would be im possible to handle all the t in coming freshmen male s t u dents in the program. The Regents, besides being influenced by the expense of handling such great numbers of students, also considered the law approved by Congress which provided for a camp to be held between the sopho more and junior years to take the place of the elementary training received in the first two years of training. The Air Force ROTC en rollment has increased this year to 665 freshmen, as com pared with 595 freshmen last year. Lt. Col. Shimmonkeviz, acting professor of Air Science, attributed this in crease to the fact that the Air Force lifted its ceiling of 600 students this year, not know ing how the new ruling would affect them. He said the Air Force has always felt that the voluntary program was more adaptable to its purposes, and that the ruling has been ac cepted happily by the Air Force. Capt. A. C. Mullen, com manding officer of the Navy ROTC said that the Navy has not been affected much by the ruling, since the Navy offers a four year program, and students who join the pro gram now and those who joined during the compulsory ruling for the most part joined because they were hon estly interested in serving the four years and going on into the Navy as a career.
