FEET OFF THE GROUND . . . Kappa Kappa Gamma rehearses for Friday's
presentation of Coed Follies, "Cherchez la Femme."

Junior Staff Writer
The deadline for complying
with regulations in the Uni
versity housing code is Sept
1, 1965.
"That it is against the code
for a kitchen to be below the
ground is a fallacy that is
quite popular, and is not what
is in the code," said Dean J.
Winston Martin, associate
dean of student affairs.
The Code states, in section
6.6: "No cellar space, in new
construction, shall be used as
a habitable room or dwelling
unit."
Any portion of a building
"having half or more than
half of its clear floor-to-ceiling
height below the average
grade of the adjoining
ground," in new construction,
may not be used "for living,
sleeping, cooking, or eating
purposes," according to t h e
Housing Code.
"A distinction Is made be
tween a cellar and a basement
in the code.
A basement, "less than half
Its clear floor-to-ceiling height
below the average grade of
the adjoining ground," has
certain requirements to be
met in order to be used as a
kitchen in any housing, old or
new.
These relate to sanitation
and ventilation, minimums
with final approval resting
with the health officer.
Existing facilities in a cel
lar may be approved for con
tinued use if they meet the
requirements set down in sec
tion 6.6 of the Housing Code.
According to Ed Simpson,
Public Health Engineer, there
are only about three houses
that could not possibly com
ply and will have to move
their kitchen upstairs.
"But the code does not say
If your kitchen is downstairs,
it will have to come upstairs.
For example. Student
Health's kitchen is in the
basement," he said.
"Any place where students
live, which is not with par
ents or relatives, comes un
der the jurisdiction of the
code," stated Simpson.
"The University could make
the student move, after Sept.
1, if he is living in housing
that has been inspected and
did not comply with the hous
ing code."
"I estimate there are be
tween 1200 and 1500 students
living off-campus in non-inspected
units," he said.
"There are two reasons
why inspection has not been
made. First we do not have
any approved housing to put
them in, and second, it is
physically impossible to get
arnund to insDect . all these
places with the present man
power." "There are 43 houses In
cluding co-ops on campus,"
said Simpson, "and about 15
of them have some sort of
major change to be made in
order to comply with the
code."
Simpson felt that all but
about six would be able to
comply by the deadline.
These other houses have
plans or are carrying out
plans for new construction.
Simpson said these houses
will build new units in order
to comply with the code. "The
rest will be able to add on
where they are."
According to Dean G. Ro
bert Ross, dean of student af
fairs, "Each group will be no
tified exactlv where thev have
failed to meet the code but
most of the houses know al
ready if they will be able to
romnlv."

have not complied by the
deadline there will have to be
adequate cause shown why
they haven't complied. If
there are plans for a new
house, I would have to see
definite plans, in order to
grant an extension.
There is also a minimum
floor space a unit must have
per occupant. "If one room is
used for both studying and
sleeping, the house can ac
commodate more students,"
said Simpson.
"The code says you must
have 70 square feet for the
first occupant, and 50 square
feet for every occupant there
after. This means a two man
room must have a total living
area of 120 square feet."
"If one room is used for
study and the other for sleep
ing, the code states that 40
Convention Renders
Two New Proposals
By Rich Meier
Junior Staff Writer
The Constitutional Conven
tion decided a student could
run for more than one office,
and fixed organizational rep
resntation in the Cabinet, last
night.
John Lydick called the meet
ing to order and pointed out
tthat he has promised Dean
Ross the finished and ap
proved draft will be on his
desk by Tuesday.
It was noted by Gale Muller
the draft made no provision
for the President and Vice
President to run in pairs.
No requirement of this na
ture was made, it was pointed
out by Rebecca Marshall, be
cause "it was agreed we
shouldn't hinder a well quali
fied candidate by requiring
the candidate to have a run
ning mate."
John Lydick said, "This
doesn't inhibit politics
though; a man can still have
a running mate."
The constitutional draft
states the President and Vice
President are to run on sep
arate ballots.
George Vrba then asked,
"What prohibits someone
from running for more than
one office?"
For the sake of disscussion
Miss Marshall proposed the
amendment: "No student shall
file for more than one office."
Bruce McMullen said, "I
think a person should be al
lowed to run for both the sen
ate and the Presidency If he
wants to. If a man loses the
race for President then he
would be out of politics, but
if he was running for the sen
ate at the same time, then
he could possibly have won,
and would not be excluded
from politics."
Vrba pointed out "Johnson
ran for both senate and Vice
presidency in 1960, and won
both. If a man wants to run
for more than one office, I
don't think we should limit
him."
Joe Carroll objected on the
grounds that everyone would
just go ahead and file for
both offices, "wnat would ne
have to lose?".
Stan Miller said, "I don't
think they should be allowed

square feet must be provid
ed per occupant, per r o o m.
This means two students
would require a total area of
160 square feet."
Using the two man system
saves 40 square feet over the
dorm system.
"The main problems we
run into are, overcrowding,
kitchens, and fire exits. "Any
thing above and including the
3rd floor must be provided
with a walk down escape,"
stated Simpson.
Simpson emphasized, "Both
the fraternities and sororities
have been very co-operative.
I have made special trips
through the houses with the
alumni presidents helping
them find the best and most
economical way for them to
meet the code's require
ments." Larrv Frolik stated, "We
might lose some qualified peo
Die bv not letting them run
for the senate also."
The question was called and
Miss Marshall s amendment
was defeated by a vote of 4
toll.
Carroll proposed the amend'
ment: "No person shall file
for both the Presidency and
Vice-Presidency of the same
election." It passed.
Dave Kittams proposed an
amendment preventing a sen
ate member from also being
President. After much discus
sion, and amendments to the
amendment, the final passed

Frantic
Rush To
Friday's
By Keith Slnor
Junior Staff Writer
"Take it from the beginning! Let's go!"
Phi skitmaster set the rehearsal in motion.
A quiet anxiety pervaded
ing Auditorium Monday night as the Coed I owes en
trants had the first look at their competition.
The Alpha Phis started the series with a squadron of
not-so-private aecretarles who typed to the tune of flut
tering hearts, j
Two girls were minus a typewriter, but went diligent
ly through evflry motion and should be in excellent shape
for stage time Friday.
Just when' everything seemed brightest, in strolled a
walking IBM 'machine with plans to wreak havoc on
their little world. But like every good horror flick, the
monster is stopped with a man's ingenuity and every
one is happy at the end.
The Kappa Kappa Gammas took the stage next with
an expose' on college gold diggers. The pledges have an
ingenious plan and set up a date service to evade study
hall. Then the girls forsake the fraternity men in search
of wealth and culture. They end the skit with an upper
classmen coup d'etat on the date service, and the girls
be; forgiveness from the frat boys.
Delta Gammas appeared next with a dance by
Honolulu Lulu. A native girl is sent to America to learn
the ways of college life. When she returns, it appears
that she has learned a little too well.
Her island friends decide that they had better stay
at home, where the biggest danger is being hit on the
head by a coconut.
By this time, the stage sound director had put his
mind to work, and came up with a bit of devilment
which had the girls guessing for a while. Despite the
frigid temperatures in the auditorium, the girls took their
shoes off to do the dance routines.
When the DG's came off stage they were greeted
by an acute shortage of their original footwear. After
a few "Please, Tony's" and horrified gasps the shoes
were returned and the stage crew walked around with
expressions of perfect childish innocence.
By this time the Gamma Phi Betas were in place to
tell the dreams of a future dream-girl. A self-centered
Madam Roux, who seemed to have drank too much of her
own love potion, was set on transforming a maiden
from an ivory tower into a lady of the world.
She sends her from one primrose path to another but
always manages to rescue the poor damsel before it is too
late. Finaily the maiden has seen the world and slides
gently into the role of the ideal sweetheart.
During a portion of the skit depicting a swinging Jeze
bel, one of the girls lost her ponytail while using it as a
built in pinwheel, but the pain must have been small
for no tears were shed.
The Chi Omegas embarked on a world cruise where
the only ones who got sea-sick were the ones who ran
out of will power before they ran out of rum. A girl from
society life develops a sailor's lust and convinces her
friends that it is not so bad after all.
A chorus line under the innocent guise of continental
culture, a harem of belly dancers and a Jamaican beer
blast highlight the the reincarnation of the society set.
The finale for the rehearsal took us to a Kappa Alpha
Theta toy shop with toys built for the college man. Their
Barbie dolls were years in advance of the ones currently
on the market.
They told the story of the ugly duckling who may not
have been the most beautiful but was the most lovable
of the collection.
The wallflower is elected queen of the shop, and then
performs the task of teaching the other girls what a Barbie
doll must have to catch the eye of Ken doll, the college
boy.
This ended the rehearsal and gave but a glimpse of
the production for Friday night. Mrs. August Drier, over
all director of the Follies, commented that the show
had good variety and good quality, judging from similar
groups she had seen.
In addition tu the skits there will be a wide variety
of talent presented in the six traveler acts.
Karen Nielsen will lead a sextet from the School of
Nursing In a medley of songs entitled "My Fair Ladies."
"February Heat Wave" is a modern Jazz dance led
by Alpha Delta Pi's Mary Lee Jepsen.
Chi Omega's Kay Christiansen will portray a young
ballerina in an act entitled "Ballerina's Debut."
Ann Griffiths from Pound Hall will sing a medley of
songs in "A Glimpse of Oliver."
"Ain't She Sweet" is a Charleston routine present
ed by Linda Landreth and Gayle Bozarth from Zeta Tau
Alpha.
Alpha Delta Pi will present Mary Kay Rakow, Jan
Chamberlain, and Betty Swoboda as "The Diamond Sis
ters," a trio similar to the McGuire Sisters.
The selection of Ideal Nebraska Coed and Outstand
ing Collegiate Man will be announced during the show.
