HATFIELD . . . Republican Convention's Keynote
Speaker to meet with students at coffee hour Saturday.
Hatfield To Visit
Campus Saturday
Oregon Governor
To Meet Students
Gov. Mark Hatfield of Oregon will visit informally
with University students Saturday afternoon at a coffee
hour in the Nebraska Union conference rooms from 4 to 5.
Hatfield, 42, was the keynote speaker at the 1964 Re
publican National Convention and is thought by many to
be a leading contender for the Republican presidential
nomination in 1968.
Hatfield was a political science professor and dean of
the division of Student Affairs at Willamette College, be
fore nining for the Oregon legislature, in which he served
two years. He was elected governor in 1958 and re-elected
In 1962.
Considered a moderate politically, Hatfield was men
tioned in 1960 and in 1964 as a potential running mate for
New York governor, Nelson Rockefeller.
The purpose of the coffee is to give each student a
chance to meet Gov. Hatfield, according to John Reiser,
president of the University Young Republicans, sponsors
of the event. Hatfield has indicated an express desire to
visit witti University students here.
Students are free to drop in any time during the hour
for a cup of coffee and an informal chat with Gov. Hatfield,
.said Reiser.
Later Saturday, Hatfield will be the keynote speaker
at a Lancaster County Republican Forum at the Coliseum.
The forum is designed to seek out the political views
of the rank and file Republicans in the wake of the 1964
election losses.
Sen. Carl Curtis will introduce Hatfield at the 6:30 p.m.
meeting.
A forum comprised of Sen. Roman Hruska, former
governors Val Peterson and Robert Crosby and former
Secretary of the Interior Fred Seaton will comment on
ideas raised at district meetings.
IFC Is Faced With
Housing Code Problem
The question of fraternity
houses measuring up to the
Housing Code is the "number
one problem we have, ac
cording to Buzz Madson, In
terfraternity Council p r e s i
dent.
Following the adjournment
of the official meeting, an
executive session was held for
members of Interfraternity
Council only.
Madson 's remark at the
IFC meeting last night was
prompted by an expansion re
port given by Mike Gotts
chalk, Phi Gamma Delta.
Gottschalk said that he
talked to Edward Simpson,
public health engineer for the
University concerning the
Housing Code. He said that
Simpson Is now in the process
of working with University
architecture students in meas
uring every room of every
house.
When these measurements
are completed, Simpson will
be showing each house how to
re-arrange their rooms to
met the code, according to
Gottschalk.
H said that the main prob
lem is overcrowding. The
standards require that for
rooms in which students study
and sleep there must be 70
square feet of room for the
first student, and 50 s q u a r e
feet for each student there
after. When studying and sleeping
facilities are separate, there
must be 40 feet for each stu
dent in both the sleeping and
studying rooms.
Gottschalk said that a num
ber of houses didn't comply
with the standards last spring,
and several now need exten
sive modifications in the
kitchen and dining room
areas.
When Simpson's study is
completed, he will report to
the administration how many
men are allowed to be in each
house according to the stand
ard.
It then becomes Dean
Ross's job to enforce the
code, Gottschalk said.
Some criticisms of the pub
licity for Greek Week affairs
prompted Andy Taube, chair
man of the Public Relations
Committee, to report to t h e
Council what had and what
hadn't been done in the way
of publicity for Greek Week.
Taube said that "some peo
ple have been disappointed in
the publicity for Greek
Week," but that this disap
pointment was not warranted.
In some areas there has
been more publicity this year,
he said, but there have been
difficulties in some other
areas, such as banner posters.
This was due in part to the
fact that some of the people
who work in the Union poster
shop have been ill, he said.
There were three mimeo
e r a d h e d nosters placed
in each house, however, ac
rnrriinp to Taube. Each house
was also contacted personally
through tne president or so
cial chairman, ne said.
Additional publicity included
Lincoln newspapers and tele
vision. Tube said there are
also plans to have some pub
licity on Lincoln radio, an
nouncing the major events as
they come along.
He maintained that ade
quate coverage had been and
will be given to the important
areas of the car wash Satur
day and the Greek Week
Ball. "That's where we're
making our money anyway,"
he said.
Madson added that it was
imperative that each of the
Council delegates stress the
Ball to their houses, since it
provides "a tremendous op
portunity to get together."

Q Logger IF Inn Is Peirsodl
By Wayne Kreuscher
Jr. Staff Writer
Student Council passed a
motion yesterday recommend
ing the Faculty Senate to ap
prove a new ten day final
examination period.
Floyd Hoover, registrar,
told the Council that the Fac
ulty Committee on Calendar
and Final Exams would pre
sent three plans to the Facul
ty Senate Apr. 13 for chang
ing the final exam period.
He said that the present ex
am period was inadequate be
cause of the lack of space on
campus for giving exams and
the large increase in enroll
ment and number of courses
at the University.
The five possible plans in
clude first of all the ten day
plan wh.'ch Student Council
endorsed. Th;s plan would ex
tend the final exam period
from the present seven days
to ten with three hour exams
the same as is now. No stu
dent would be required to take
more than two exams a day.
The second plan would
shorten the present exam peri
od to five days and shorten
the exams themselves to two
hours. No student would be
required to take more than
three exams a day.
The last plan, which is now
being used at Purdue Univer
sity, would designate no final
exam period at all and if in
structors wanted to give fin
als they could incorporate
them into the regular class
week.
The Council's discussion ov
er the three suggested plans
included many arguments for
and against every plan.
Skip Sonef said that the
ten day plan was the better
because students needed the
extra time to study and be
cause the possibility of three
exams with the five day plan
was too great.
Larry Frolik, on the other
hand, said that the ten day
plan wasted 20 days out of the
year, put too much emphasis
on final exams and that most
exams did not require the
three hours that were alloted
for the test.
John Cosier supported the
ten day plan because he said
the ten days were needed to
better assimilate the knowl
edge and actually learn some
thing. He also said that em
phasis should be put on the
final exams which really
judge a student's knowledge.
The final vote of the Coun
cil was strongly in support of
recommending the ten day
plan.
Another motion passed at
the meeting established a tem
porary committee to be ap
pointed by the Council Presi
dent to investigate the possi
bilities of establishing a Mod
el United Nations at the Uni
versity during the coming
schooi year 1965-1966.
Mike Barton, who presented
the motion, said that such a
committee should make a pre
liminary report, specifically
containing a recommendation
for or against the establish
ment of a Model United Na
tions, no later than Apr. 4.
Jim Moore, who was one of
the University's five repre
sentatives at Wesleyan's
United Nations last weekend,
said that Wesleyan's was a
big success and that it would
take a lot of planning, but
the University could have an
even better one.

tee, reported on the results,
comments and conclusions of
a recent Student Discount
Card poll.
Forty-three per cent of the
people polled, he said, carry
student discount cards. He
added that 27 of the people
interviewed had bought an
item with a discount card so
that in other words, 63 of
the people had used the cards
at least once.
His poll showed that 57
of the people polled neither
had cards nor had bought an
item with one, but knew that
the cards existed and had
some familiarity about them.
Eighty-one per cent of these
people who did not have one,
but had some familiarity with
them, did not know where to
get them.
Cosier said that many stu
dents polled felt that the busi
ness concerns represented on
the discount card were not of
a practical nature to the aver
age student.
"Many thought that it would
be better if the card could
be expanded to include more
numerous businesses than are
presently on the card, such as
restaurants, drug stores and
clothing stores," Cosier ex
plained. Another common comment,
he pointed out, was that the
cards needed far more work
and publicity than had been
given them in the past.
"In other words," Cosier
said, "approximately half of
the students on this campus
carry discount cards and not
a large majority of these peo
ple ever use them. Also,
more than half the students
who do not have cards know
of their existence, but appar
ently do not think they are
valuable enough to attempt to
get one."
He said that the large ma
jority of the people think
that the student discount card
is a good idea, but that many
of these people are unsatisfied
with the present state of the
card.
"The Student Opinion Com
mittee," he said, "has con
cluded that the students want
a discount card and recom
mend its continuance, but we
also recommend a better dis
tribution system for the cards
and a greater information and
publicity campaign."
He stressed the fact that the
most serious problem the Stu
dent Discount card faces is
the fact that the concerns rep
resented on it are not of a
practical nature to the aver
age student.
"A great effort should be
made," he said, "to alleviate
this situation and the system
as it now stands needs much
improvement before it will be
of much benefit to the stu
dent." A motion saying that the
Student Welfare Committee
should present a budget for the
Student Discount Cards to the
Council was passed at the

Lydick To Select
ASUN Justices
The first process to function
under the ASUN constitution
is the selection of Student
Court justices by the retiring
student body president.
This year, In the absence of
a student body president, the
constitution provides for the
selections to be made by the
president of Student Council,
John Lydick. It further pro
vides that the justices be ap
pointed 30 days prior to the
general election.
Interviews for the justices
will be held tomorrow in the
Student Union, Lydick said
yesterday. Interview times
are posted on the door of the
Student Council office and all
eligible students are urged to
consider applying for the posi
tion by signing up for an in
terview time.
The only requirements are
that justices must be in their
junior or senior years and
have an overall average of 6.0
or better. This means that
sophomores may interview for
positions on the court, Lydick
said.
Requirements for chief jus
tice are the same, with the
additional criteria that he
must be a law student.

o Sponsor Exhibifion
The Nebraska Art Association's 74th
Annual Exhibition will be held from
Apr. 4 through May 2.
In the North gallery of Sheldon Mem
orial Art Gallery, 46 paintings and 5 sculp
tures will be shown.
Each item represents one living con
temporary American artist, and all pieces
are for sale.
Norman Geske, director of the Uni
versity Art Galleries, said, "This exhibi
tion is an annual survey of the state of
the arts of painting and sculpture in the
United States."
"We have the gratification of seeing
recent works by the elders of the profes
sion, and we are involved inescapably in
what is 'going' on at the moment. Fads
vanish or consolidate themselves as
achievements and this year's novelties in
sist on our attention by virtue of their
size or technique or subject," Geske
wrote in the show's catalogue.
There are several new trends in this
year's art that are represented in this
year's show.
"There is a marked revival in inter
est in the human figure," said Geske.
Wayne Thiebaud, "Girl with Ice Cream
Cone," and John Paul Jones, "Man-Woman
Diptych" are two of the artists repre
senting this movement.
Wayne Thiebaud's "Salads, Sand
wiches and Desserts" is a part of the
permanent collection of the Gallery. Thie
baud's style grew out of the pop art
movement, and his figures reflect this
background. "He has sort of a commer
cial artist's technique," said Geske.
"We have several of the milder op art
paintings. Op art stands for optical art,
and that is what it is. It is designed to
produce a physical response by the optic
nerve. There is a play of color and geo
metric shapes to get a tangible, physical
reaction. Some can be very unpleasant."
Ernst Benkert's "Barmecide Feast"
and Richard Baringer's "Untitled" repre
sent this movement, among others.
There is one painting representing
the top art movement "The Triumph of
Tira" by Robert Indiana.
Another new style of painting Is call
ed hard edge. "This may be described as
falling between pop and op art," said
Geske.
Other movements are exemplified by
the mixing of sculpture and paintings.
"Sometimes it is very difficult to decide
whether a work should be classed as
sculpture or as a painting. The line be
tween sculpture and painting is becoming
very hard to draw," said Geske.
"Each artist has one piece, so there
is a total representation of 51 artists."
