TWO UNIDENTIFIED GIRLS
Traditional Serenades
QCOVQt
By Sieve Jordon
Senior Staff Writer
Intra-campus thieves have
been plaguing fraternity and
sorority houses this year,
stealing call boards, plaques,
trophies, candles and other
items valuable in continuing
a campus tradition known as i
"serenading.
The thieves are not mali
cious gangs out for loot, but
members of the Greek sys
tem interested in testing each
other s vocal powers
"It's a good way for boys
to get girls to come and scr-
enade thein," said Shcryl
Soukup, an Alpha Phi. "Prac-
tically all of our trophies ,
have been taken. Three dis-
appeared last week, and we
still aren't
sure who took
them,
Sororities are not always
the victims in the "friendly
exchanges."

It took 12.000 miles of driv
ing and flying to visit every
county in Nebraska, but the
new director of the Univer
sity's Agricultural Extension
Service did it.

allow Janike
to c o n c e n-
trate full time Adams
cn his work as dean of exten
sion. As dean of extension, Janike
is responsible for the General
Extension Service, the Agri
cultural Extension Service
and the Center for Continuing
Education.
The change is in line with
other changes being made to
develop a closer working re
lationship between General
Extension and Agricultural
"Extension, Janike said.
Adams' 12,000 miles of trav
el took him to every county
extension office in the state;
he set this goal for himself
when he was named associate
director last year.
About half of these miles I
were traveled by air, some
of them with Adams piloting
the plane.
"In every case, flying saved
money for the University when
you figure the time involved,"
he said. Weighing the t i m e
saved against such costs as
extra meals, lodging, and oth
er expenses, Adams estimates
he saved $815 in flying 6,000
miles.
"To keep abreast of the tre
mendous technical advances
in agriculture, we are upgrad
ing our county agents to the
Masters Degree level in edu
cation," said Adams.
In the past year we have
gained 16 agents with Master
of Science Degrees and have
granted leave to ten so they

Some counties are being re
organized into areas where the
tpr-hnipal training of thpsp
people can be used to advan-
i tage, Adams said.
! However, he added, chances
are good that under the area i
specialist concept the Exten-
sion Service will end up with i
a few more agents than now
rather than less.
"We have no intention of
shorting any county on serv
ices." he said. "We do hope
to provide more expert serv-
ice in uuunuea vwui sjliici-
ized problems, such as those
in areas with a large dairy
industry."
One area specialist can
serve several such counties,
he pointed out.

Doomed Student
Gets Reprieve
"Greetings from Uncle

had previously been, the Daily
Nebraskan reported Thursday,
However, now Mark Piatt-1
ner
has received a letter
wmcn ioia mm to disregard
his previous induction order.
Plattner, a University junior
in good standing and carrying
15 hours, received a notice
that he must report for in-
duction Oct. 27. despite t h e
fact that State Selective Serv
ice officials said full time stu
dents in good standing were
not being inducted.
Upon receiving his notice,
plattner took a
note from
Registrar Floyd Hoover to the,
Omaha Selective Service!
Board saying that he was in '
good standing.
Plattner said the letter from l
Selective Service telling him
to disregard his previous or
ders "gave no explanation,
and I didn't ask any questions."
Scrip Plans New Features
For Monthly Publications
The University's student
literary magazine, Scrip,
will appear monthly this
year with social satire and
serious essays as well as
fiction and poetry.
Steve Abbott, the new
editor of Scrip, said the
magazine would have many
changes this year, but the
biggest change would be
that "instead of an uncer
tain biannual appearance
the magazine will appear
monthly."
"By appearing monthly,"
Abbott said, "Scrip will be
the cultural force on cam
pus it should be. Most cam

across the nation appear

He explained that Scrip
has always been a quality
magazine, but that in oth
er years it didn't appear
frequently enough to stim
ulate high student interest.
Abbott said that the mag
azine this year didn't want
to restrict - contributions to
mere "artsy-craftsy emo
tional effusions." Social sa
tire and well written essays
are also desired this year.
"A good essay on music,
government or anthropology
could possibly be made more
literary than the sentimen
talism that usually passes
under the name," he explained.
