She said that an extension to the 60-day limit for revision on constitutions has been given to the Inter Varsity Club. A one hour introductory course on the library system will be offered in the study skills course next semester, according to Kent Neumeis ter, library chairman. The results of the student opinion poll taken by tele phone, concerning the Daily Nebraskan financial situation were announced by John Co sier. Of the 147 people called, 57 per cent favored an increase in the tuition rate; 16 per cent favored maintaining the prest-nt rate of advertising; Student Art Work On Sale In Union Works of approximately 25 student artists at the Univer sity will remain on display and for sale until 5 p.m. to day, when the annual Fall Student Art Sale will end. The sale is sponsored by the j Union Contemporary Arts committee, and is open for all University students who wish to show their works. Mediums on display this year include sculpture, pot tery, oil, water color, prints, and sketches among others. Prices for the works range from 25 cents to 100 dollars this year, which is above av erage, according to Tom Mc Kain, assistant chairman of the committee. "The pottery sells the best of all the items, because it's cheaper and thus appeals more to the students'McKain said. He said that the number of artists this year is down about nine from the number which exhibited work last fall. "The response is usually smaller in the fall than for the spring sale, though," he said. A sale is also held each year in the spring. The sale is being held in the Pan-American Room of the Student Union. Interviews Saturday For Ag Chairmanship Interviews for assistant chairman fc. Ag Union cam pus image committee will be held Saturday. Requirements for the posi tion are a 5.0 grade average, at least one semester of Un ion work and standing of sophomore or above.

Reporting the findings of the Associates Committee on Fees and Tuition, Bruce Jen sen read a letter which he wrote to the University Board of Regents. In the letter Jensen said the committee "strongly urges that the Board of Re gents take under considera tion a fee increase to cover the expanding needs in stu dent service areas, student government and student pub lications." Jensen said that "four nut of five of the Big Eight schools contacted are now re ceiving more financial suo port for their newspapers than docs Nebraskan." The Faculty Senate meet ing during which a letter con cerning dead week will ne read will be held Dec. 15, ac cording to Skip Soiref. A committee has been formed, according to Council President John Lydick, for the purpose of selecting new advisor for the Student Council. The term of the present ad visor, Dr. Dorothy Larery, is expiring, and a new advisor must be chosen, Lydick said. The committee members in elude: Dr. Larery, Jack Shaf er, Miss Strateman and Shir ley Voss. Neumeister reported to the Council on the connection be tween the Counseling Service Committee and the study skills course offered at the University. He said that several changes will be made in the course next semester, but the major change will be in group sponsors. Formerly stu dent assistants from the dor mitories acted as sponsors, but under the new arrange ments, volunteers will be sought out from honor stu dents and Nebraska Career Scholars, according to Neu meister. The function of the spon sors is to help keep discus sion moving at the study skills meetings, he said. The ultimate goal of t h e course is to make more stu dents aware of their relation ships at the University, Neu meister said. Student Council will n o f meet next week, due to a Christmas party. Study Course To The study skills course, un der the direction of the Coun seling Service, will be modi fied for second semester, ac cording to Dr. Clay Gerken, director of the Counseling Service. An experimental approach will be used, and the number of lectures increased by 50 . In past years there have been four lecture sessions in study skills, one a week for the first four weeks of school. Beginning in February, there will be two lectures a week for each of the first three weeks. This new plan is designed to provide more continuity than has been experienced by students in the past, accord ing to Gerken. He said it should permit closer exam ination of the ways students can adapt learning techniques to their own courses and con cerns. Gerken said that one ses sion will be devoted to t h e use of library resources "now almost indispensible to competent student scholar ship and thinking." The service expects "that more attention will be given than in the past to possibil ities students can develop creative ways of learning, ra ther than merely follow rules for studying," according to Gerken.

IPC R. epor At the National Interfrater nity conference meeting in Cincinnati last week, Nebras ka's IFC 1954 report was rated third in the nation among Class II Interfraternity Coun cils, Tom Brewster, president, announced at'last night's IFC meeting. 'We feel that this was quite j an honor," Brewster said. He thought that this was the first time Nebraska had ever won any IFC award or honor. According to Stan Miller, the Nebraska delegates im parted more information con cerning their projects than in-'; formation they received. A discussion was held con cerning spring rush. Rush chairman, Bill Poppert, sug gested a new spring' rush pro-' gram, whereby a rushee would be required to go to a combination of 10 large and small houses. "This program would give the smaller houses an advant age, but still not hurt the large houses," Poppert said. Bob Kerrey didn't think that the program would solve the problem. "The smaller houses will still be rushing against nine other houses," he said. Tom Schwenke said that in any type of formal rush, the results would be proportional with the smaller houses get ting fewer pledges. Buzz Madson, secretary of IFC, disagreed with this, say ing that the house that works attempts to avoid receiving low grades will be given con siderable attention," he said. It was pointed out by the counseling service that al though many people believe such a course is primarily I useful to students having dif-1 ncuuy wnn tneir courses, past experience with how-to-study courses indicates good students actually have more By Marilyn Hoegemyer Senior Staff Writer "Racisim" is a "cancer of the mind" for which there is not one institute to study the sickness, Dr. Ashley Mon tagu said in his final lecture on the "Myth of Race." Montagu said studying ra cism, a pathogentic ideal Is as important as studying pathogentic organisms which is done every day by scien tists. The myth of racisim, that behavioral differences are biologically determined, is a rationalization, a process of concocting plausible reasons for ones' beliefs when they are challenged, Montagu said. There is no scientific evi dence to support the racist' theory, he said. The explana tion that homo sapiens, which Montagu dubbed "wise guys," were derived from a five fold origin, has not the slight est scientific evidence, he said. Soons S ins the hardest gets the men they want. However, he said, some houses wouldn't be partici pating in spring rush. Fred Sweet said that if there was to be a rush program, all houses should work together or it would not be advanta geous to the Greek system as ? whole: Swet thouSh. .that it was important to visit a larger proportion of the houses, including the ag fra ternities. The vote was called and a little over half of the IFC members Atsd -against hav- ing spring rush. The discus sion was tabled until next meeting. Brewster reminded the members that the deadline for open rush was December 18. John Cosier, scholarship chairman, said that the tutor ing program may be discon tinued due to lack of partici pation. He said that tno tutors are well qualified and that the service is free; he attributed the failure to a lack of interest on the part of pledges and Eta Kappa Nu Fifteen University students were initiated into Eta Kap pa Nu, electrical engineering honorary, at a banquet last Friday evening. To be initiated, students nv - rank in the upper quar- Change to gain from developing new learning techniques than poor students. Gerken said that the study skills course is constantly be ing changed and will continue being modified as experience and research point toward better ways of helping stu dents develop effectiveness during the years they are on the campus. The theory of the five-fold origin of development of man envolves the belief that man was derived from the genus, homo erectus, on five differ ent and separate occasions, Montagu said. These theorists believe that the negro evolved later than all the other races and therefore is least intelli gent, he said. Such a statement "brings gladness to the hearts of ra cists, if racists have hearts or minds," but there is not thr. slightest evidence to be lieve It, Montagu said. The slight physical differ ence that exists came after, not before, the homo sapiens evolved, he said. Negrbs have as long a genetic history as anyone, he said. Man originated from a sin gle stock, was derived once from homo erectus, he said. Then why a variety? Mon tagu attributed the differ ences to the result of migra tion away from common homelands, separation from Thursday, December 10, 1964 6VGB1 also actives. Schwenke said that there was no reason why the tutor ing program should be a fail ure. He urged each house president to talk to their schol larship chairman and have him send five pledges who were in need of scholastic as sistance to the tutoring pro gram Sunday night. Brewster said that it was very important that the spe cification sheets for Miller and Paine's photograph studio be turned in to the IFC of fice immediately. He said that work on the rush book would be held up if thev weren't turned in. Kerrey asked as a point of interest what the standing of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity was. Brewster said that in order for a house to be a voting member of IFC, ie had to have, among other things, a minimum of 30 men, a 5 av erage, and a house coopera tion, which he said, Kappa Alpha Psi does not presently have.

Montagu named, in addition to migration, isolation, genet ic drift , culture, hybridiza tion, social and individual selection, as reasons for phy ical differences between var ious groups. Man is a myth-making ani mal, Montagu said. One myth the male has propounded is that woman Is the weaker sex. Woman is by far the superior sex, Montagu said. A woman's brain weighs four ounces more than man's, she is more intelligent, she has femlne intuition, women use their emotions better than men, and it is men that are posscsed by sex, not women, as men have said. The principle means of adaptation Is culture," Mon tagu said. Throughout t w o million years of man's his tory, he was primarily a food gatherer and hunter. He had to survive the stresses and 'Third Ross Favors For Closing "Wonderful" said Dean G. Robert Ross describing t h e proposed closing of 14th Street from the north side of R to the south side of Vine. The closing request was made Tuesday by the Univer sity Board of Regents to elim inate traffic on 14th from go ing through the University and to protect students when crossing the street. Ross said the wording of the proposal has to be worked out. One request will be that the closed street will become University property, Ross said. Traffic counts will be made to determine the best way to assume ownership, Ross said. "It's pretty clear that our in ternal traffic must be less and less," he said. Our main concern is first to get studies made and elimin ate with the University educated, Mantague said. John C. Mason, city coun cilman, said that he was aware that the eventual clos ing of 14th was an objective of the University. "I feel that we must find ways and means to cooper atewith the University . . . although first a means of routing the traffic around campus must be found." Ma son said. Mason was not certain how quickly the closing might be Debaters Triumph In Preliminaries The University debate squad attended two tourna ments last week, t Iowa State Uniersity m Ames, la., and the oher at the Air Force Academy. At Iowa, in the -eni-'- divi r"on, Poger Doerr anrt Teny Shaaf won five and lost one debate in the preliminaries. Mel-yn Schlacter nd John Peak had a similar record. Both teams went into the octa-finals where they were eliminated. In the junior division. Allan Larson and Larry Curd and the team of Terry Hall and Ken Gaskir.s won tlree ind lost hrc . On quality ratings Larson and Curd entered the jta-finals which they won, but were eliminated in the next round, the quarter-finals. At the Air Force Academy. George Duranske and Bill Harding won four decisions and lost eight. Union Announces Photo Contest All students who enjoy pho tography are urged to enter the Student Union-sponsored photography contest, accord ing to Terry Schaaf, Union public relations chairman.

The panel of judges for the contest includes: Robert Gor ham, chief photographer for the Lincoln Journal; Gunars Straydins, a University art student; and Koy Tada, man ager of photographic produc tions. & if 1 strains of a rigorous life to 1 survive. Montagu said The most important thing man had to learn was plas citicity flexibility of re sponse. Man had to learn problem solving, had to learn to respond to experience, in other words had to become educated. Montagu said. Human beings no matter in what group, if given ade quate opportunity, can achieve whatever any other group has achieved, M o n -tagu said. Montagu noted the African peoples have been exposed to many changes and can demonstrate what they are doing. It is not surprising that Negros do poorly on intelli gence tests, whites do poorly on intelligence tests in t h e South too, Montagu said. "Achievements imply oppor tunities," no where at no time have the American ne gros had equal opportunity, Montagu said. The American Negro has made accomplishments com Of Proposal 14th Street put into effect. The Univer sity has a growth problem and this is one way to help alleviate it. he said. J. Winston Martin, Associ ate Dean of Student Affairs, thought the idea of closing 14th a very good one. He won dered at the possibility of the University also gaining con trol of S Street from 14th to 16th Streets, in order to pro vide for less through traffic. However, he expressed hesi tation because of some pri vate property lying along these two stretches. "The owners of this proper ty have never been consulted as to whether they would agree to the plan. Perhaps this is the time to call them together," he said.

Mind parable to the white race in self-taught skills. In music, sports, theatre, dance and lit erature the American Negro is outstanding. Most negro schools are "shockingly Inferior.' 'The white race owes an incalcu able debt for what they have done, Montagu said. "Man's nature Is not what one is born with, but what man docs with the nature he is bom with." he said. The problem or sickness of racism remains today and will not be soived by destroy ing the racists' theory. Physi cal and cultural differences should be congratulated, he said We are all members of a single human family, that of humanity, he said. If one is born Into humanity, he ought to have the right to develop with equal opportunities The problem rests on the foundation of ethics, not sci ence, Moitagu said. "We all must ask ourselves, If we will be a part of the problem or a part of its solution," he said. v I; V
