Lru Dr. Roy Holly Roy Holly Resigns Position ells $H Ban evemwj units Boundls Council Voes To Improve Lincoln Students' Position Student Council passed a resolution by John Luckason yesterday calling for the in clusion of Lincoln independ ents in certain campus elec tions and activities from which they are now excluded because they are not in or ganized living units. The resolution called for Unicorns, the organization for off-campus independents, to act as a go-between for the Lincoln students, in signing up for interviews selecting candidates. After a discussion by Coun cil members on setting an ar bitrary number limit on the number of candidates U n I corns may select, the resolu tion was amended to say that the "number of candidates they are allowed to submit would be left up to the or ganization holding the elec tion." In introducing the resolu tion, Luckasen said that there are 4,000 students not living on campus who at present cannot apply for many cam pus elections. He said U n i corns would thus be set up as a kind of "living unit," and would be a liason for Lin coln students. In response to an editorial appearing in last Friday's Daily Nebraskan, Council President John Lydick read his answer to charges in the editorial that the "Council has failed to do anything of any consequence all year." Lydick pointed out several Jtrograms which the Council s engaged in presently, are not "appropriate for weekly headlines," but "are a very significant contribution to the University student." He said that Larry Frolik, public issues chairman, has "been doing intensive study on the di?c'"-i!::r.Mc.i issue si.ii! Sept. 1." The Dead Week idea is pres ently in the process of being accepted by the Senate Fac ulty, he said. Another program he cited was the possible foundation of a faculty evaluation pro gram, as used on the West Coast. Answering the editorial's suggestion that Council "must be composed of many lead ers, persons who are imagi native and creative enough to realize the needs of the cam pus," Lydick said this was a fair bit of constructive criti cism. He said, however, that he does not feel that at present the Council . "is lethargic or unorganized." Diane Michel, chairman of the Nebraska Student Govern ment Association Committee, told Council members that she and the members of her committee were leaving for Chadron tomorrow for the convention of the Association this weekend. Miss Michel said that she had not received any informa tion about it until yesterday, despite the fact that she had written to the Association re questing information. Attending the convention with Miss Michel will be Al Heine, Bill Hansmir, and John Kenagy. Speaking for the Student Opinion Committee, John Co sier told Council members that his committee is going to conduct another poll on the financial situation of the Daily Nebraskan. Cosier said this poll will be conducted by telephone, with a random sample of students being selected from the stu dent directory. He said ev ery seventieth name would be selected, which result in 147 people to be called. He pointed out four reasons for taking this poll. The first reason was as a check and correlation to the last poll, which was taken in the form of an election, and which re sulted in some confusion over the results being valid. The second reason he listed was to provde more Informa tion to the Daily Nebraskan to help them solve their problem. Cosier said the third reason embodied the personal con tact of a telephone poll. He said such a poll would allow the poll-taker to explain the situation thoroughly to per sons, so intelligent votes may be obtained. Cosier's fourth reason was to provide Student Council and his committee with the knowl edge of whether or not such polls are feasible, or if they are invalid. The poll lists three alter natives. These include: Keep up the Increased advertising; raise tuition 50 cents per per son per semester; or reduce costs by printing the Daily Nebraskan only three times per week or printing only one half as many copies each day. Associates Committee chair man Sue Graham reported that a registered parliamen tarian will give a talk to the Associates at their Dec. 2 meeting. She said they will use this knowledge in a mock student council they plan to noid. Andy Taube, Peace Corps Committee chairman told the Council that since the Peace Corps members at Nebraska Center are going to be leav ing sooner than expected, the movie Mexican Busride' would have to be held last night at 7:45 in the Union small auditorium. Sue Graham told the Coun cil that there has been some confusion about the "senior check" which seniors must have before registering for ineir last semester. Miss Graham explained that the senior check is an evalu ation of their courses to date. and suggestions of courses to take before graduation. She said that the seniors wouldn't be held responsible for this presently, since the University had not taken care of it prior to registration. Parking Committee chair man Bill Poppert said that the results of the survey tak en on the intcrcampus bus were ready statistically, but he did not wish to report to the Council until he had done some further checking. Lydick told the Council that several letters had been re ceived concerning programs for model United Nations. He said Susie Segrist is current ly working in this area. Don Cruise was formally named to the Parking Com mittee and the Nebraska Stu dent Government Committee. Cruise was elected as a grad uate representative to the Council several weeks ago. Dr. Roy Holly yesterday re signed as vice chancellor at the University to accept a po sition as chairman of the de partment of obstetrics and gynecology at the Jefferson Medical College in Philadel phia effective about February 1, 1965. The Board of Regents yes versity with a great deal of reluctance," Holly said in ten dering his resignation. "My association with the Universi ty has been most pleasant. My decision has been reached because of my desire to re turn to my professional field." Chancellor Clifford Hardin yesterday told the Board of Regents Holly's resignation was a "serious loss to the Uni versity in view of the valu able contributions he has made." The Jefferson Medical Col lege is one of the oldest medi cal colleges in the United States, having been founded in 1825. The school has con ferred the Doctor of Medicine degree upon 20,000 graduates and has an annual budget of more than $16,000,000. Holly has been vice chancel lor for graduate and profes sional education and research at Nebraska since 1962. He joined the University staff in 1954 as a member of the Col lege of Medicine faculty in Omaha. In 1956, he was named chairman of the de partment of obstetrics and gynecology and was named Dean of the Graduate College in 1961. "Dr. Holly has contributed greatly to the progress of the entire University," Hardin said. "His leadership has aided significantly in the con tinued development of excel lence. We are most reluctant to have him leave Nebraska, but we understand and re spect his desire to return to medicine." Hardin said Holly will re main as Vice Chancellor until February to finish plans for a major program of research development. The Board of Regents yes terday sold $15.9 million worth of bonds to the lowest bidder, thereby refunding all outstanding student fees and facilities revenue bonds and moving the University into a new era of bond financing. In selling the bonds to a syndicate managed by Blythe and Co. and White Weld, Inc., both of New York and Chi cago, and Kirkpatrick Pettis of Omaha, the Regents saved $82,444 in interest payments from the next highest bid and sold to the only one of the four bidders representing Ne braska firms. The purpose of the change in bond financing procedure was to provide for more flex ibility in future construction financing. By refunding all outstand ing bonds, the Regents em barked on an "open-ended" system, allowing for addition al bond sales to meet increas ing construction needs of stu dent services in the future. The old system, under which all present construction is fi nanced, limited the Univer sity to $16 million outstand ing. The Regents also passed a motion by Val Peterson pro viding for the president of the board to meet with the Governor and interested legis lators to consider selling bonds for future projects to the state, paid for by sur plus funds. Peterson also suggested consideration of an amend ment to the Nebraska Con stitution to allow the Univer sity to issue bonds backed by the state and asking the four state teachers colleges, rep resented by the Normal Board, to join with the Uni versity and the state in these endeavors. "Our present indebtedness is $16 million," Peterson said. "If the teachers colleges are included in this figure, it would be $30 million. It will undoubtedly rise to $50 to $75 million." "My purpose is to beat down the interest rate in the interest of the boys and girls of Nebraska," Peterson said. "This is not meant to be crit ical of the bids we received today, but we have a general obligation to the boys and girls of the state." The motion was seconded by Regent LeRoy Welsh; The funds provided through the bond sales are used for construction projects beyond classrooms, which are pro vided from the state build ing levy, principally dormi tories and campus services. The bonds are paid off through the profits made by the student services, such as dormitories, student health and the Student Union. The board also awarded contracts for construction projects, equipment and automobiles. The contracts awarded as follows: are Maxfield Exploins Slides Of Russia The only color picture of a Russian atomic submarine which the U.S. government has was among those shown to University students by Morgan Maxfield yesterday. He and Defense Secretary McNamara are the only peo ple in the U.S. who have pic tures of a Russian A-Sub. Maxfield, chosen by the Junior Chamber of Commerce of America as one of the top five outstanding voung men in America in 1964, was the Panama earlier this were graduates of school," Maxfield said. year Resurfacing of the run ning track at Memorial Sta dium, Missouri Valley Con struction Co., Grand Island, $9,163, Installation of new and removal of obsolete under ground electrical cable, East Campus, Commonwealth Electric, Lincoln, $14,625.

When Maxfield asked Khru shchev his goals as Party leader, he replied that he wanted to win the world for Communism and to end the war between the "haves and the have-nots." He cited the guest speaker at yesterday's j young people of Russia as his 'Cha Cha Charla' Set For Tonight In Union The University Spanish Club will meet tonight for an in formal social hour and short business session. "Cha Cha Charla" will be held in 235 Student Union at 7 p.m. "The purpose of the meet ing is, to give students a chance to get to know each other and practice their Span ish," said Susie Rutter, Span ish Club president. Thanksgiving Problem: Foreign Student Lodging As Thanksgiving vacation approaches, there is again the problem of temporary housing for those who must move out of the dormitory. Foreign students at the Uni versity who live in a dormi tory have been able to move to a basement portion of Sel leck Quad in previous years for Thanksgiving vacation. This year, however; with the overflow of students all areas in Selleck are being used for regular student hous ing. This leaves some students with no place to go. In sev eral cases the students al ready have invitations to stay with a friend's family. Some have invitations to spend Thanksgiving with their Host family in Lincoln. Each student needing tem porary housing in the dormi tory is being contacted indi vidually, Mr. M. Edward Bryan, director of housing said. All those who don't have anywhere to go will be able to stay in the Capital Hotel for the vacation period, he said. Bryan said he hopes to have definite plans made for students needing housing over Christmas vacation. Any student needing a place to stay over Thanksgiving va cation should contact the For eign Student Office in the Ad ministration Building. There is a list of families who would like to have a foreign visitor in their home for Thanksgiving. meeting of the Union Talks and Topics Committee. Maxfield, 23 years old and a graduate of the University of Texas where he majored in physics and chemistry, showed slides he had taken while an exchange student in Russia in 1962. The slides were taken by Maxfield while he was dis guised as a Russian citizen. They consisted of various scenes throughout the city of Moscow. "One citizen in one thou sand in Russia has an auto mobile," Maxfield said ns he showed a slide of a new su perhighway in Moscow which was practically deserted. "It is unheard of for a student in Russia to have a car," he said. Another of the slides showed the huge crowds waiting in line to pass by Lenin's body. "There is a constant line at least eight blocks long wait ing to get a three second glimpse of the body of the man they call the 'Prince of Peace,' " he said. "Eighty per cent of the work force in Russia is made up of women," Maxfield said. He showed a slide where 25 women and one man were go ing out to work in a Russian hay field. The man was to drive the tractor and the women were to pitch hay. The University of Moscow has over 400,000 students Max field said. These students come from all over the world and many of them study in a special school for learning how to aid in the development of underdeveloped countries. "I would guess that most if not all of the 26 students who started the demonstrations in greatest asset toward attain ing this goal. The Russian young people were what Maxfield listed as being the most impressive Russia. "I fear we are winning the battle of education, but los ing the battle of dedication," Maxfieic! said in describing the courage and loyalty of the Russian youth. "I feel we are the genera tion of destiny for the United States," Maxfield said. "We have the ability to win the world for the U.S. and free dom," he said. Fifteen Students Get Sears-Roebuck Grants Fifteen University students have received Sears-Roebuck Foundation scholarships, ac cording to F. T. Johnston, lo cal representative of the Foun dation. Each student was selected for the $300 award by a Uni versity committee which con sidered scholarship, leader ship and financial need. Scholarships are awarded in all Land Grant Colleges in the 50 states and Puerto Rico. Since the program began in 1936, more than 22,000 deserv ing agricultural and home economics students have re ceived these scholarship awards from the Sears Roe buck Foundation. The University of Nebraska scholarship recipients are: Freshmen: Kathy Oberle, Sharee Schick, Lloyd Reeder, Paul Rohrer, Richard Tegt mcier, Kenneth Volker, Marv in Hughes, William Lueck, Eric Otte, Ralph Puis, Ter rance Cacek, Leslie DeBoer, Gary Diffendaffer and Rob ert Dwyer. Sophomore award: Burton Thonisen. IFC Thinking Of Expansion General possibilities of fra ternity housing expansion were presented at the Inter fraternity Council meeting last night, by President Tom Brewster. Brewster said that the Board of Control had been working on the housing prob lem and that suggestion were made at the Board's meeting, Tuesday night. "The general vicinities of expansion could only be to the north and to the cast," Brew ster noted. If the University were to purchase the land, the fra ternities could lease the prop- t h 1 s ertv- This would result in the fraternities not having to pay the high taxes that they are now paying, Brewster said. The fraternities could sell their present houses to the University, to be used for married student housing or educational facilities. "This re-situating of houses would encourage new f r a ternities to colonize," Brew ster said. There will be a meeting of house presidents and corpora tion managers to discuss the expansion problem, on No vember 23 at 7:30 in the Union small auditorium. The IFC budget for this year was voted upon and passed by IFC members. Brewster announced that he had heard complaints from secondary education princi pals concerning "scholastic problems resulting from pledge training." For this rea son, he said, these principals favored deferred rush. Buzz Madson, secretary of ire, pointed out that Univer sity publications have proven that fraternity averages are above the over all University average. Individual scholarship com mittees within each of t h e htuses, and the new tutorial program for pledges, are proof of the emphasis t h e Greeks put on scholarship, Madson said. Tom Schwenke, vice-president of IFC, said that the fra ternities should try to work more closely with secondary education principals so that they might better understand fraternities, and the G r e e k concern of high scholarship. Mike Kirkman said that contracts had been drawn up with IFC and printers for the publication of the IFC rush book. Scholarship Chairman, John Cosier, said that the tutorial program for pledges was in operation. He said that a 1 1 pledges are invited to attend, every Sunday at 7 p.m. in the Union. Cosier added that tu tors in French and Biology were s ill needed. Brewster said that it had been announced by the Uni versity Office of Scholarship and financial Aids that the recipients of the Delta Up silon scholarships are Larry Wade, Theta Chi and Doyle Kauk, Alpha Gamma Rho. 4
