Expansion of area two
parking . . . opening of two
new student lots . . . desig
nation of two lots for facul
ty use only . . . special
parking stalls for motorcy
cles and motor scooters
these are a few of the meas
ures taken by the Campus
Police Department to pro
vide adquate parking facili
ties for the year.
C a p t. Eugene Masters, :
campus police chief, said
that the University has
"enough room right now"
for parking. There are a to
tal of 4,064 parking spaces
on the campus. 1.214 of
these are designated for fac
ulty and staff use and 2.610
are allocated for students.
Of these totals, 170 are ex
clusively for faculty park
ing and 771 spaces are area
two for dor m residents'
parking.
Masters denied existence
of overcrowding in the park
ing situation, declaring that
there are "300 or 400 empty
stalls on any day of t h e
week, any hour of the day."
He reported seeing 300 emp
ty stalls in the student park
ing area below Memorial
Stadium.
Discussing the construc
tion of new lots. Masters
noted a new lot for d o r m
residents' parking would be
completed by the middle of
next week. The lot, situated
on 17th Street will accomo
date 124 cars. He said the
department is not planning
any new lots for this year
or next and added that the
University is "just about out
of space as far as buying
new lots is concerned."
Masters said that all the
unpaved lots were graded
this summer and new rock
put in.
Wednesday morning the
Campus Police Department
had processed 5,100 applica
tions for parking permits.
Motorcycle, motor scooter,
and motor bike permits are
SI this year, compared with
85 in previous years. Forty
stalls have been specially
marked for parking for
these vehicles.
In other changes in traffic
regulations, the fine for
parking on campus without
a permit lias been raised
from $1 to $5. Lot 'F' be
tween Teachers' College
and Andrews Hall is now
for faculty parking 24 hours
a day, except on weekends.

Individual house averages

Mrs. Alice Taylor, secretary

that the mix-up apparently oc

New Scholarships
To Aid Students
i
I Three scholarships and a
fund were established this
I summer through gifts to the
i Nebraska Foundation,
i The Portia A. Goke Scholar
ship, in memory of Alvin W.
j Goke, is a $125,000 bequest
I to support ten $500 scholar
! ships in the College of Agri
culture and Home Economics.
They will be awarded at the
start of the sophomore year
and then renewed, based on
scholastic achievement, dur
ing junior and senior years.
A $500 award in memory of
Thomas W. Cunningham, a
graduate student killed in a
car accident last year, will be
given annually to a senior in
pharmacology.
A $5,200 gift established a
journalism scholarship fund
in memory of Gerald J. Brem
er, former Aurora publisher.
The annual $200 scholarship
will be awarded to a male
student having financial need
and showing promise of lead
ership and academic ability
in journalism.
The Ames fund, in memory
of Ernest C. (Col.) Ames, has
also been established through
the Nebraska Foundation. The
'$10,000 gift will provide per
sonnel, equipment and re
search in speech pathology
for the speech and hearing
clinic.
Fifty-four thousand alumni
have been asked through a
Foundation fund drive to con
i tribute gifts this month.
The Innocents Society has withdrawn
its sponsorship of the Homecoming dis
play award in hopes that "all affected
groups will reconsider their homecoming
programs."
The Innocents explained their precedent-setting
action in a statement to the
Daily Nebraskan. The statement expressed
the view that "the Homecoming display
is probably not the best means at stu
dent disposal for greeting returning alumni.
"In most instances," the statement
continued, "the display has grown into an
annual event requiring vast amounts of
time and money in order to compete ef
fectively. We believe that, while the Home
coming display has diminished in value to
the Homecoming spirit, it has simultane
ously expanded in its imposition upon the
students who prepare it.
"This is incompatible with our tradi
tional emphasis upon scholarship," the In
nocents' statement said.
In their decision to withdraw sponsor
ship of the Homecoming display award,
the Society said they hope affected groups
will reconsider their Homecoming pro
grams with special "attention to activities
that will be in keeping with the true
meaning of Homecoming spirit and to the
true meaning of being a student."
The Society plans, however, "to retain

interest in this area," and the statement
said the Innocents are open to suggestions
or comments in "submitting a replace
ment program."
Homecoming activities under the spon
sorship of Tassels and Corncobs have un
dergone several major changes.
In explaining the changes in activities,
C h e r y 1 1 Crosier, Tassels Homecoming
chairman, stressed that the purpose of
Homecoming "would remain the same
to recognize NU alumni and honor Uni
versity football."
Although the Homecoming game will
be played Oct. 23, the homecoming dance
is scheduled for Oct. 15 at Pershing Au
ditorium. The dance, featuring three combos, js
for students. Extensive decorations, cost
ing up to $1,000, are planned for the
dance with a "Salute to the University
of Nebraska Sports" theme.
Featured at the Homecoming dance
will be the crowning of the Homecoming
queen. She will reign during the week of
Oct. 15-23, making several public appear
ances during this time.
Elections for Homecoming queen will
be held Oct. 12 and 13. Voting booths
will be open at the libraries and unions
of both campuses.
The rating system of interviewees for
Homecoming queen candidate has been
cianged. So that she represent "a typical
NU coed," more consideration will be giv
en to "poise, personality and appearance,
rather than scholarship and activities,"
according to Miss Crosier.
As in the past, it is still mandatory
that a candidate have a 5.5 cumulative
average, be in the junior class and partici
pate in some activities.
Other activities planned for Home
coming include: ,
Friday, Oct. 8: Rally at Carillon Tow
er. Finalists for Homecoming queen will
be announced at this time.
Friday, Oct. 22: Rally at the Stadium.
Saturday, Oct. 23: Noon alumni lunch
eon, with the Homecoming queen at
tending. Saturday, Oct. 23: Departmental cof
fees. Buildings will be open so that alum
ni and students may visit with the fac
ulty. Saturday, Oct. 23: Halftime ceremony.
The Homecoming queen of 25 years ago
will be introduced in. addition to the 1965
queen.
Saturday, Oct. 23: The George Shear
ing Quintet will appear in concert at
Pershing Auditorium for both alumni and
students.
Tassels and Corn Cobs sponsor the
Homecoming activities, while sponsorship
of the traditional Homecoming awards
has been a function of the Innocents Society.

Fraternity Asks Approval
To Colonize For Third Time
A fraternity may make its
third appearance at the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
A Tau Kappa Epsilon na
tional representative, W e s
Pierce, asked Interfraternity
Council's (IFC) approval to
colonize, at the council's first
meeting Wednesday night.
The fraternity, Phi chapter,
has been on the campus twice
before, from 1925-1939 and
from 1947-1957.
The organization is rated
second out of 49 major na
tional fraternities in overall
quality by the College Survey
