By 20 Per Cent
Advertising for the Inter
fraternity Council (IFC) rush
book will cost 20 per cent
more this year.
The reason for the rise in
rates is the increase in cir
culation. The book lost $1,655
last year. It was felt that by
raising the price of advertis
ing, the booklet would be
able to pay for itself.
The newly elected officers
of the Jr. IFC were an
nounced. They are Larry
Grossman, Sigma Alpha Mu,
president; Steve Rosenquist,
Sigma Chi, Vice-president;
Glen Lockhart, Kappa Sigma,
Secretary; and Jim Belmont,
Delta Tau Delta, Treasurer.
The students who were
granted waivers to be ini
ated before making a 5.000
grade average last year had
a total grade average over
all of 4.846. 50 per cent of the
persons waivered made a
5.000 during their first semes
ter after activation.
A project was proposed
where fraternity members
would sell memberships in
the Extra Point Club.
The membership cost $1.
The selling of memberships
would be stressed to both
business men and students.
A proposal to give a plaque
to the houses that attained
100 per cent membership in
the Extra Point Club was
discussed.
The tutoring program will
get underway within the next
two weeks. It was reported
that chemistry, English, and
zoology would be the courses
that were offered. The pos

were present at the meeting
yesterday. Sue Graham an

their first meeting Oct. 21.
Larry b rohk raised the
question of why the prices for
events at Pershing Auditori
um have been increasing.
Shirley Voss, Union repre
sentative on the Council an
swered that the prices for
the 'Harry Belafonte show are
probably higher because Bel
afonte requires larger per
centage than other performers
have, and the Union must still
get back the money it puts
into sponsoring the program.
John Luckasen asked Miss
Voss how much the Union
makes on such shows. She
said she hesitated answering
because it might not be her
place to tell the Council this,
but said that the Union gained
about 20 of the total ticket
receipts on the New Christy
Minstrels show.
In other Council business,
Jack Schaffer was sworn in
as the new representative

Oct. 28 has been set as the

'Myst Upgrade PoIiMcs'
By Frank Partsch
News Editor
Gov. Frank Morrison last
night told the University
Young Democrats (YD's) the
greatest challenge faced today
is to upgrade politics.
Speaking before 160 people
at the Student Union, the gov
ernor said, "We must prove
we have the sense of dignity
and responsibility not to make
charges and accusations with
out bringing them into the
open."
Mrs. Stewart Udall, wife of
the secretary of the interior,
and Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt,
Jr. also spoke at the meeting.
They were visiting the state
as part of a "Flying Cara
van" of Democratic wives
campaigning throughout the
country.
The governor said he has
been offered support from
Republicans who wished not
to be identified; that some
Democrats could not be poli
tically active without losing
business.
"I know a druggist who was
threatened with boycott for
being a Democrat," he said.
"What problem was ever
solved by talking about t h e
faults of others?"
"John Kennedy worked to
make politics the noblest of
human expressions rather
than the crudest," he said.
Morrison called on the YD's
to contact faculty members,
students and members of the
Young Republicans to gain
their support in a political
awakening "that will shake
this campus from end to end."
Calling the upcoming elec
tion the most crucial since
the Civil War, Morrison said
"There is no more difference
between the present Republi
can Party and the party of
Abraham Lincoln and Teddy
Roosevelt than there is be
tween day and night."
He listed what he called the
contributions of Lincoln and
Roosevelt and said "when I
say I support these principles,
the only condemnation I get
is from the leaders of the Re
publican Party in the state
of Nebraska."
"This is no ordinary battle
between Republicans and
Democrats," the governor
said. "It is a campaign be
tween those trying to deprive
us of our right to free dis
cussion. It is important to you,
because it will decide whether
the world will be one of un
limited opportunity or unlim
ited chaos."
"We have more than a re
sponsibility to win this elec
tion," he said. "We must win
it with such a majority that

no political party will ever
again dare to nominate for
the presidency of the United
States a man who Is not
equipped with education, re
sponsibility and devotion to
unite and not divide people."
Morrison asked the crowd
if they could possibly believe
the federal government
"bought with the blood of pat
riots" could be trying to take
away their freedoms. His half
hour speech was interrupted
seven times by applause.
"The only thought control is
not in government," he said.
"It is found with those who
aspire to political power."
Answering some of the is
sues of the current national
campaign, Morrison said,
"The power to destroy large
parts of the world should be
trusted to only the most sober
and thoughtful of men."

"We must provide the fa
cilities to develop skills and
make the right to an educa
tion an accepted reality. Hu
man rights are the only
rights. Units of government
have no inherent rights, and
the most sacred thing in life
is human rights."
"Lyndon Johnson wants to
be president of all the peo
ple," Morrison said. "It is up
to us to help him do so.
Mrs. Udall followed the gov
ernor with campaign plugs
for Johnson and his running
mate, Sen. Hubert Humphrey
of Minnesota. She called
Humphrey the "Happy Warri
or," and said "It always gets
my day off to a good start to
see what witty thing he has
said today."
She expressed enthusiasm
for "All the wonderful Demo-

the Journalism
The class is held especially
for all beginning journalism
students who did not get a
score of at least 70 per cent
on a test they took shortly
after school began. The test
consisted of 150 spelling words
and several grammatical and
punctuation points.
The test was taken by all
of the students in journalism
81. a required course for all
beginning journalism stu
dents. The test was administered
by the spelling program's or
iginator, Mrs. Emily Trickey.
All students who did not score
at least 70 per cent on the
test were then asked to at
tend the weekly sessions of a
special spelling course taught
by Mrs. Trickey. Attendance
at the class is entirely volun
tary, however.
Aiding Mrs. Trickey with
the planning and functioning
of the spelling program is
Neale Copple, associate pro
fessor of journalism.
"Our journalism school has
built up a fine reputation
across the country," said Cop
ple "Our students are known
to be fine journalists when
they graduate. However, the
one weakness our students
seem to share is poor spell
ing. We would like to correct
this weakness if possible."
Mrs. Trickey drew up the
spelling test which she gave
the students. "The test words
just came out of my head,"
she said. "They were com
mon everyday words which 1
have seen misspelled time
after time."
Original plans called for 80
per cent to be the passing
score on the test. However
when the tests were graded,
the scores were so low that
this was changed to 70 per
cent.
One hundred twenty-nine
students took the test. Of this

Mrs. Udall asked the YD's
to approach politics with a
spirit of joy. "Nebraska poll
tics is a wonderful thing," she
said, "one of the high points
of our trip.
Mrs. Roosevelt drew laugh,
ter from the crowd and the
governor. While speaking of

she said "Many think there

Morrison chuckled loudly,
and Mrs. Roosevelt, appar
ently flustered, said "Heav

Mrs. Roosevelt credited tha

istration' "ending of the
threat of war" with creating
a better attitude among tha
youth of America. She said
she noticed a better moral fi
ber and less delinquency than
were prevalent ten years ago
"when everyone expected the
bomb at any time."
She called for a sound de
feat of the Republican ticket
to "destroy irresponsibility in
the Republican Party."
YD President Karen Nelsen
announced her resignation to
work for the election of Cal
lan to Congress. Bob Cherny
would serve as chairman of
the group until the new con
stitution is approved by Stu
dent Council, she said.
Also present at the meeting
were Lee White, special as
sistant to the late President
Kennedy and assistant to
Johnson; Mrs. Frank Morris

woman; J. J. Exon, the presi

number, 40 scored 80 per cent
or. above. 51 students scored
between 70 and 80 per cent,
while 38 received grades be
low 70. High score on the test
was a 98.
Mrs. Trickey was not yet
certain of the exact proce
dure she will follow in teach
ing the spelling class. "The
main thing I hope to do is to
make the students aware of
words," she said.
"We are discovering that
much of misspelling results
from mispronunciation. For
this reason we will attempt
to emphasize spelling and pro
nunciation in the class," she
said.
The first session of the spell
ing class was held last week.
It was primarily an introduc
tion to the purpose and goals
nf the classes, including a re
view of the words on the test
they had taken in journalism
81.
Seven more sessions of the
class will be held with anoth
er test to be given at the sixth
session. A final test will be
given the last week.
Before the test was given
to journalism 81 students, it
was tried out by giving it to
some high school classes and
in some upperclass journal
ism courses.
"Although our present re
sults are based on small sam
ples, we have found no differ
ence between the spelling
abilities of juniors and seniors
In high school and those of
the same class standing in
college. Juniors and seniors
in college spell no better than
college freshmen, and juniors
and seniors in high school
spell no worse," Copple said.
Copple and Mr?. Trickey
plan to continue the testing
and instructing each semes
ter in an effort to improve the
students' spelling. It is
thought that the Wall Street
Journal may provide funds to
enlarge and improve the cur
rent program.
