Residents of Burr Hall only way they can make a telephone call because of the building. UiT By Rich Meier Junior Staff Writer Residents of Burr Hall have originated a petition voicing their dissatisfaction with the phone service. "We the undersigned resi dents of Burr Hall are cur rently without sufficient phone service as compared to other University living units. We de sire the availability of private phone service in each room. We request that funds be pro vided for the installation of hook-up lines to each room during the summer of 1965." Lee Carskadon, a resident of Burr Hall, was able to get 95 signatures on the above petition. According to Carskadon there are about 120 residents to three phones in Burr West. "This is insufficient," he said. "All the other dorms have the availability of private phones, we should have this privilege too," Carskadon said. "We pay the same amount of room and board, and do not receive the same services. The existing facili ties are rather inconvienient, there is a lot of time wasted trying to make a simple phone call." "I feel that the University has a responsibility to pro vide this service we, as stu dents, are busy too," he said. M. Edward Bryon, housing director, said, "This problem is a physical cost problem more than anything else. Those dorms were built on a short budget, and as a result private phone facilities were not provided for." "The University owns all the phone wires, and in order to provide service we would have to run a conduate in. We sim ply don't have the money to do so," he said. "We operate on the $725 we get from the students, and we have to do what we can. I do not see the necessity of spending that much money at the present time." "I expect that if we did put In facilities for private phones, only about 4 or 5 people would use them." "If a person wants to be able to use a phone bad enough he can move to one of the dorms that offer this service," Baid Bryon. Selleck, Cather-Pound, Women's Residence Halls, all only on city campus, offer the availability of private phones. Two years ago Selleck was converted. Before, private phones were not available, as is the case in Burr now. Carskadon said that there were many people in favor of putting in private phones, and many other attempts at serv ice have been made In the past. "But," he said, "you get discouraged fast when nothing happens. I am sure something could be worked out, though." Bar M had no official com ment. Gary Ham, president of Bar M, said the Burr government discussed the problem in a meeting Monday night, and decided to refer the petition and proposal to a committee to "look into the matter." "We don't want anything said about this In the Daily Nc braskan. One kid has a gripe, Mqm Pro who won't even be back next year, so why don't you just drop it?" he told the Daily Nebraskan. Three residents of the hall had this to say. uave Krager, resident on first floor and a signer of the petition, said, "I agree that there are not enough phones. Some people do want a priv ate phone so they can talk without being bothered, and have private conversations." "I don't think a private phone in every room is nec essary, but we do need more phones. "I stayed in Gather last year and 1 know that a lot of people on my floor had them." "Probably, 1 would not use the private phone if it was available." Leeroy Cech, third floor stu dent assistant, said, "I don't have much of a problem, 'be cause I have my own coun celor's phone. But we only have one phone a floor, and rush hours make it kind of bad. I signed the petition. Although 10,000 undergradu ate students were trying to do it, only eight University stu dents were able to obtain a perfect grade average for 12 hours or more last semester They were: Charles Smith, a senior ma joring In English; Susan Un thank, a senior majoring in bpanisn; Dennis tfeeson, a senior majoring in business administration; Lloyd Reed er, a freshman majoring In agronomy; John Goedeken, a sopho more miijoring in pre-veterln- ary medicine; Puul Stelzer, a freshman majoring In mutli; Stephen Beruuist, who grad uated "with distinction" lust month; John Cosier, a junior majoring In physics and math ematics. Fourteen other University students missed a p e r f e c t grade average by a fraction with grades of 8.800 to 8.993. They were: Gary Fick, a senior major ing in agronomy; Ruth lias mussen, a freshman majoring In mathematics; John Schre kinger, a freshman enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences. Jounn Strateman, a senior majoring In German and French; Marilyn Justice, a senior majoring in elemen tary education; Kutherinc Schuch, a sophomore major ing In political science; Vic toria Howling, a junior ma joring In English. Steven Nelson, a sophomore majoring in mechanical engi neering; Paul Rudolph, a sophomore in zoology; Marv in Criswell, a senior major ing in civil engineering; Cath erine Orlger, a senior major ing in pharmacy; Louise claim that this is about the shortage of phones In the tests "I think It would help an awful lot if we had private phones or mcii? phones. It would make for a little more convenience for the guys." Dennis Baustert reported that he did not sign the pe tition, but only because he didn't see it. '"I think it would he a good deal if we had private phones," he said, "and I would probably get one if the rates were not too high." "If we had another phone or two per floor, it would be a lot better, too," he said. "Three phones for 120 guys is pretty overcapitated", I would hay." He .also said there were two pay phones in the com mon lobby for Burr East, girls, and Burr West, boys. Jack Caldwell, Lincoln Tele phone and Telegraph C o m pany Customer Service Su pervisor, said, "I wasn't aware that private phone serv ice was not available. We can put phones any place. If no proper conduate is available, this is just an engineering problem, and can be solved." Ellis, a sophomore majoring in history. Janice Larson, a sopho more majoring in ps'ychology; David Krohn, who graduated "with high distinction" last month. Another 296 students were able to earn semester grades of 8.00 or higher. They includ ed: 8.706-8.799 James Jorgensen, Lynn Winterer, Gary Larsen, John Wick, Loren Bonderson, Doug las Thorn, Ronald Prior, Joan Graves, Kenneth Ilarr, Orrln Osterholm. 8.600-8.705 Curtis Kruger, Richard Schulze, Churles Sweetman, Gunar Strazdins, Juris Zar i n s, Richard Ronnenkamp, John Klrkman, Joan Jones, Mary Farner, Gene Sorensen, Marceine Sweetser, Sue Pear son, Robert Kapustka, Jacyln Eads, Robert Sader, Gary Watzke, Kristin Bitner, Cher yl Kassebaum, David Rybln, Aurel Splvey. 8.500-8.599 Donald Moses, Loucttc "Vel- te, Frank Surber, Tommle Thompson, William Minlcr, Klchurd Bednar, Theron Carl son, Durryl Gless, Christina Perrln, Carol Phelps, Ronuld Hospodkn, vcrim Wilkmi, Bur ton Thomsen, Larry Jenkins, lames Snelchhiger, Robert Rosleky, Dale Spinur, Robert Bell, Theodore James, Bar bara Wright, Jeunnlnc How ard, Fred Cromer, Joun Mc Gulre. 8.400-8.499 Richard Elliott, Terry Mc K e e, Frederick Leistritz, rtocpe Stodents By Keith Sinor Jr. Staff Writer Over 550 University stu dents have received financial assistance through the War on Poverty's work-study program this semester. Hie Abel Speaks Today On US., Southeast Ma Elie Abel, Foreign Affairs commentator for the Nation al Broadcasting System, will discuss "The United States and Southeast Asia" at 3:30 p.m. today in the Nebraska Union Ballroom. Since joining NBC News, Abel has been to Europe three times to cover the NATO Council meeting and the Geneva disarmament conference and last summer accom panied Secretary of State Dean Rusk on a tour of allied capitals. As a reporter for ten years on the New York Times, he covered the 1955 summit conference in Geneva and the following year headed that paper's coverage of the Hun garian uprising. He also covered Premier Khrushchev's press conference when the Soviet leader criticized the Uni ted States over the U-2 incident. One of his strangest experiences overseas occurred when, in 1959, Abel was one of 75 newsmen waiting in the dawn outside of Tezpur, India, when the Dali Lama fled Tibet to escape the Communists. "He came through about 8 a.m. in a jeep,"" Abel re called, '"surrounded by his companions, men wearing American-style felt hats along with their traditional long robes. It was quite a sight." It was also a somewhat frustrating experience hecause there was only one telephone in Tezpur for reporters to file their stories. But Abel and some of his colleagues had the foresight to hire a plane which flew them to the nearest large city. In 1949, Abel joined the New York Times and hegan a series of assignments that took him to Belgrade and most of Eastern Europe as a roving reporter, and then on to India, Pakistan, Nepal and Ceylon. He left the Times in 1959 to become chief of the Wash ington bureau of the Detroit News. That same year he covered Premier Khruschev's tour of the United States. He came to NBC News November 1, 1961. Though he has been in some remote areas of the world, Abel recently had to report under difficult conditions in Washington, D.C. It was late in the evening of October 22, the day Presi dent Kennedy announced the blockade of Cuba. Abel broad cast throughout the day from the State Department Audi torium In the capital, where that evening a special con cert honoring the UN was in progress. At the end of the concert the lights were put out. But Abel had to remain for a late radio news broadcast. Luckily he had a cigarette lighter which provided him with the only light to read his script. .

The public issues committee will present a motion concern ing racial discrimination in off campus 'housing. Vice Chancellor G. Robert Ross, dean of Student Affuirs, will speak to the Council on the advisability of establishing a civil rights committed. Council Dr. Edward Lnndak, direc- tor of scholarships and finan cial aid at the University, said that he is expecting an in crease in the federal grant to $1.2 million for next vear. "This grant,'" he said, is for the ntire state and part of it will go to colleges other than the University." He said tnat the University is the only school receiving a substantial proportion of the allocation at the present time, but that he expects several other colleges to enter the program in the coming year. Lundak went on to say that despite the division of funds, the University should still re ceive a substantial increase. The program provides as sistance to students from low income families who are in need of financial aid. This aid is supplied through on-campus jobs ranging from clerks and typists to graduate assistants.
