This committee was set up last spring as the result of a motion by Council member Joanne Strateman. She urged a study on racial discrimina tion problems faced by Uni versity students. Her motion resulted from the refusal of a downtown Lincoln barber shop to give service to a Ne gro student of the University. The committee was headed by Council First Vice Presi dent Dick Weill. However, be fore thorough studies and findings could be made by the committee, a new Council took office. The committee was then lost in the year-end Innocents Set Homecoming Display Rules The 1964 Homecoming has been set for October 17, when Nebraska plays Kansas State.

Chivalry Comes Alive Selleck Shares With Coeds By Marilyn Iloeg'-ii leyer Junior Staff W.'iter. After a year's absence the girls are back in Selleck back in Gustavson Hall. This year they number 136. One hundred thirty-six girls who wash their clothes in the same laundry rooms, eat in the same dining rooms, and can study in the same lounge areas that the 800 Selleck men do. How do they find life under those circumstances? Well, generally they love it, accord int to Cindy Peters, a fresh man from Washington, D.C., "I wouldn't live any place else." The men seem to dress more neatly for meals since the girls are back. "More of the guys get to meals more this year's Council," Miss Strateman said. "If the com mittee is carried on this year however, plans call for it to come under the jurisdiction of the Council's Public Issues Committee." Public Issues chairman Larry Frolik said that his committee "will definitely take action" on the discrimi nation issue. "My committee will be meeting the latter part of this week and we will then outline definite steps to carry through on this study," Fro- lik said. t , Frolik indicated that the committee will check the new civil rights law was a frame work in determining illegal discriminatory practices pres ent in Lincoln. It will also be used to see what steps the committee can use to correct these practices. Frolik also plans to talk to Negro students to see if they have been the object of recent disciminatory practices. This will be in an attempt to lo cate the main trouble areas encountered by these students. "Through these talks, we hope to also arrive at workable sol utions to these problems," he said. "We are not going to at tempt to end discrimination in Lincoln," Frolik said. "We are, however, going to do our best to protect the rights of all the University's students." Regents Will Conduct Seminar Discussions The fifith in a series of in formal Board of Regents Sem inars will be held on Septem ber 28-29. Dr. B. N. Greenberg of York, a member of the Re gents, will preside over the sessions to which leading Ne braskans have been invited. The meetings are planned to help citizens better under stand the University's educa tional program. They feature discussions by staff members in specialized fields. often even breakfast," Stu dent Assistant Dave Yanney said. There are some minor prob lems like using the same laundry rooms. This is solved by setting aside Monday, Wednesday and Friday as "girl wash days." The other days of the week are reserved for the men. There are a few things the girls miss full length mir rors and bathtubs, but most think the rooms are very comfortable. "I'm glad to hear that chivalry isn't dead," com mented Mauro Altizio, a sen ior, when he heard a coed's remark about good manners in the lunch line.

Abfl Hall, (above) a men's residence hall. The construction projects are part of a plan for the development of the University campus, both the uptown campus and the College of Agriculture facilities. The library building, for which dedication date will be announced soon, is located on the east edge of the Agriculture Campus in accordance with the University planners' prediction that the center of the campus will move to the east as the campus is developed. The laboratory, located west of City Campus, was a gift from the Behlen family of Columbus, and will be used for graduate and advanced research. The residence hall, named after the la,e George P. Abel, a Lincoln construction company owner, will house some 1,000 students beginning next fall. Vol. 78, IFC Drops i Rush Rule For SAM The Interfraternity Council (IFC) unanimously passed a motion put forward by the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity asking that it be allowed to accept ten pledges who weren't in the upper half of their graduating high school class. The passing of the motion allows the Sigma Alpha Mu to fill its house quota and also achieve financial stability. Al though University polls show that only 30 per cent of the freshmen who were in the second quartile of their grad uating class are able to make the initiating average, Sigma Alpha Mu has shown in past years that over 60 per cent of their pledges who were in the third quartile made their averages. A second motion concerning Pi Kappa Phi fraternity was also passed unanimously. Be cause of the small pledge class this house took this year and serious financial problems it faces, IFC moved to allow it to pledge new men before the thirty day waiting time is reached. John Lonnquist, Expansion Committee Chairman warned the fraternities and all others concerned of the conse quences involved in turning in a false fire alarm for the Beta Theta Pi house Saturday. The fire department and city officials warned that if any more such incidents occur, they will take swift action to stop them. Union Position Open Interviews will be held for the assistant chairmanship of the Union Contemporary Arts Committee Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Union program office. phere. It doesn't take long for a crowd to gather when a combo is practicing down stairs, Michelle Aronoff, an Omaha freshman said. "There is one person every one loves at Selleck that's Carrie (Caroline King), nur maid," said a Gustavson stu dent assistant. "She learns everyone's name and listens to everyone i prooiems or questions." If one girl's remark can be symbolic of the general feel ing that reigns in Gustavson then they should have a very happy year. She said. "We starch and iron shirts for the freshmen football players No. we don t charge any thing! It's for free because we're friends." ' I n n n fS! fiPHU" - n n I 1 The Daily Nebraskan AWS Activities radices Salesmanship "Rrrrrr . . . . ing!" An alarm clock in the YWCA booth at the Upperclassman Activities Mart rang out in a tiny but enthusiastic spirit. "The Time Is Now" Sign up for YWCA, a going organi zation." The feter and fervor of the Activities Mart reached a new high each time a prospective signer entered the Conference Room in the basement of the Student Union Wednesday. Sales pitches ranging from "the best organization on campus it's through in No vember" by the AUF booth, to "would you like to be a dancer" from Orchesis, rang out in the smoke-filled con ference room. Active members of organi zations tried their best to con vince upperclassemen that this was THE organization to join this year. There were many 'lookers' who came to the Mart just to see what was going on and what was offered. There were also many signers and signers were at a premium at the Mart. Of the 18 booths at t h e Mart, AUF seemed to have the liveliest and most enthusi astic sellers. Excuses from signers made no difference to the AUF sellers. "But we al ready have a representative in the house." .... "Two in the house is a lot better than one!" came the AUF reply. A Tassles sign read "Pep? Spirit? Big Red Fan? Then be a Tassle," In this case there was just one hitch: Tas sles is a girls' organization' Not just everybody can sign up! Politics was not to be slighted at the Mart. Young Democrats and Young Repub licans had their booths set up, and were actively recruit ing people for their organi zations. The Youth for Gold water and Miller organization had a booth set up separately from the YR organization. "We are at present separate from the YR organization, and working in a concentrated na tional effort " came the pitch for YG-M. As the Activities Mart faded into the late hours of the afternoon, frustrated up perclassmen could be heard telling sellers "I don't have any time till after October! I have two meetings to go to after I leave here!" Thus went the fall 1964 Up perclass Activities Mart. Un- Maffi, English Tutors Needed For Athletes Anyone interested in tutor ing athletes who are on athlet ic scholarships should contact Glen Potter, Assistant Bas ketball Coach, in 207 Colise um. Tutors are especially needed in math and English. til next February 17, when the All-University Mart is held, campus organizations YG President Calls For GOP Conservatism "The primary concern of the Youth for Goldwater Club is to keep the conservative philosophy going," President William Herzog said last night at the club's organiza tional meeting. "The Goldwater philosophy needs to be nurtured we must keep a spark under it," Herzog said. Plans are being made to form a conservative club after the election is over. "We are thinking of joining the ISI (Intercollegiate Soci ety of Individualists, Inc.) to further conservative thought here at the University after the election," he said. "We are not working against the Young Republi cans. Bill Harding (YR presi dent) and I are working to gether," Herzog said. The Lancaster County cam paign coordinator, Monroe Usher, told the group of a planned canvas of Lincoln by Goldwater-Miller workers. "Campaigning door-to-door is the only way we'll win this election. It is the only way an election is ever won," Ush er said. Approximately 1,500 volun teers are needed to canvas the Lincoln precincts. "We would lik" to take flying squads through the heavy voting precincts," he said. "Lincoln is a peculiar city politically," Usher said, "though 62 pe rcent of the re gistered voters are Republi cans, the Republicans near ly always get a bad represen tation of votes." "To win this election for Barry Goldwater we must make these door-to-door con tacts. We must see that all the voters are registered, that they have transportation to the polls, and absentee ballots if they need them," Usher said, Ed Narjes, the state cam paign coordinator for Nebras ka, told the group of nearly GO people. "We want the fed eral government to do only the things we can't do on the state or local government le vel." "Goldwater may be the last chance for .he United States to survive," Narjes said, "if you think that is a wild state ment go back to the Roman Empire - they thought it would always survive." "It was complacency of the people that defeated the Ro man Empire. It i complacen cy that will defeat the Unit ed States," he said. Goldwater Girls will hand out literature before the foot ball games and a folk singing group is planned by the YG's i "1 X PHOTO BY FiS Thursday, September 24, 1964 Mart will have to be satisfied with their catches from the Wednesday Mart. to lead Goldwater on to vic tory. Kathy Comeridas will be in charge of the folk singing group. YDs Ratify Document Plan Year The Young Democrats (YDs) last night adoped a new constitution. The constitution, which now conforms to the National Young Democrats' and the Student Council's models, was approved by the 90 persons present at the group's first meeting of the year. The meeting was highlight ed by a tape recording of the soundtrack of the movie "One Thousand Days" which was presented at the Democratic National Convention. Karen Nelsen, president, said that the work that was being done by the YD's at the campaign headquarters was greatly appreciated. Clair Callan, Democratic candidate for Congress sent a letter praising the group. "This is the first election in this state where young people have taken an active part in campaigning. This role of the young people is important for our government to function in the manner that it does." Dan Goodman, fund raising chairman, said medallions are being sold now at the cam. paign headquarters. "This money", Goodman said, "is to finance our projects throughout the year." Projects being planned by the group are Johnson Girls, to work at the meetings, and do party errands. A torch light parade which will wind from fhe Student Union to the Capitol will be held October 29. The New Christy Min strels are tentatively sched uled to appear at a YD din ner when the singers come to Lincoln. The new constitution was necessary because of the dis crepency between the old constitution and the Council model. The new constitution said "The purposes of t h e YDC (Young Democratic! Club) shall be to provide a University forum for the dis cussion of Democratic poli tics, to promote the princi ples of the state and national Democratic parties, and to work for the election of Demo crats at all levels of government."
