N5Vi3-5YWCA Plan
Co-op Residence
A co-operative housing proj
ect is being planned at the
University by the campus
YM-YWCA's Human Relations
group.
The novel house would be a
place where & student could
live with people from a large
variety of cultures an in
terracial, intercultural, co-educational
co-operative, ac
cording to Susie Diffenderfer,
member of the group.
Student co-ops are not new
to the University's campus.
Cornhusker, Brown Palace,
Tioneer, and Ag Men are a
ttot now exist. Their
main advantage is financial.
The new co-op would not only
cost less than dormitory
rates; it would present a dif
ferent intellectual and social
atmosphere, she said.
At the University of Texas
a similar .experiment, The
Christian Faith and Life Com
munity, is being conducted.
"A residential tutorial pro
gram for university students
providing a dialogue between
thought and life, leading to
responsible involvement in the
issues of contemporary soci
ety," is an explanation from
literature printed by the com- j
munity. ;
Its program includes a for
mal course. of study roughly
equivalent to a course in the
university. These studies are

Dental Hygiene Program
Training First Students
This June will mark the j
first graduation of students
from the University's Dental
Hygiene Program.
Located at the University
Health Center, the training
unit for the Dental College
will graduate 10 women, sev
en of whom will receive de
grees. The program also provides
for a two-year certificate, but
more students are planning to
complete the degree, accord
ing to Betty Warner, head of
the ten-chair unit.
'W do prophylaxis, what
you would call 'teeth-cleaning',"
Miss Warner said. "Stu
dents can come in every after
noon except Tuesday. We rec
ommend a visit to the dental
college for an X-ray diagnosis
and then an appointment
here."
The treatment costs $3 for
students.

Committee to explain the ski
trip plans to interested stu
dents. Students may register to

Richard Scott, Union program
manager.

new church at St. Mark's-on-the-Caimpus,
1309 R Street.
The Rt. Rev. Russell Rausc

once a week late at night.
Small groups of six to eight
meet every week to study and
discuss critical papers per
taining to the topic.
The University of California
at Berkeley has an extensive
co-operative association con
sisting of eight houses. It was
founded in 1933 by the uni
versity's YMCA.
The main purpose of Berke
ley's operation as stated in
their constitution is: "To pro
mote the social and general
welfare of the community by
offering low-rent housing to
all university students, re
gardless of race, creed, color,
or national origin, and thus
influencing the community to
eliminate prejudice and d i s -crimination
in housing."
The co-op system is n o w
serving 900 students.
The hope of the University's
YM-YWCA's Human Relations
group is that their co-operative
be a combination of both
the Texas and California sys
tems. All organization and
government will be deter
mined by the students who
are members of the co-op.
A meeting for anyone in
terested in participating in
the experiment in intercultur
al, interracial, co-educational
living will be held Friday at
3:30 p.m. in the Student Un
ion. lege on East Campus is com-
pleted next year, the hygiene
unit will move to a 20-chair
unit there.
The program was estab
lished two years ago with
funds from the Kellogg Foun
dation, but will eventually be
absorbed by the University,
Miss Warner said.
"The project is important
enough that we will continue
some kind of program on the
City Campus next year," Dr.
S. I. Fuenning, administrator
of the University Health Cen
ter. "The hygienists here would
be coordinated znH Inte
grated with the Dental College
and would be kept specifically
for students," he said.
"The hj'gienists are given
instructions in teeth cleaning,
examination, X-ray adminis
tration, minor oral problems
and assisting dentists," Dr.
Fuenning said. j

Campus mail, formerly de
livered by custodians, now
has regular carriers, pick-ups,
and deliveries.
Four carriers, three from
city campus and one from
East campus, deliver approx
imately 14,000 pieces of intra
departmental mail a 4ay, ac
cording to Dan Riley, mail su
perviser. The mail service also pro
cesses mail to be sent from
the University through the
federal post office. The quan
tity of this out-going mail has
been rising, Riley said. Last
year they handled 850,000
pieces.
"This year we're going to
hit a million," he said.
According to John Dzerk,
operational manager, the
amount of inter-campus mail
is "at least three and a half
times" that of out-going mail.
This is on the upswing too,
resulting from the growing
University population, accord
ing to Riley.
Dzerk added that a "tre
mendous volume increase"
came with pre-registration by
mail.
The campus mail service
has been In its present loca

three years. Previously it was
in the old Administration
Building.
Riley said the service has
been organized ior about 15
years. Before that, custodians
picked up and delivered the
mail, sorting it in the west

Now carriers follow estab
lished routes, pushing carts

Cassie Wild, Red Cross,

the department will distribute
it as they see fit to American
soldiers overseas and to
United States military hospi
tals. Miss Wild read a letter
from the American Red Cross
which said more than 100,000
students on some 75 campuses
have expressed interest in do
nating blood for American
servicemen.

In other business at t h e
meeting, Senate supported a
motion suggesting that stu
dents be allowed to take four
elective courses during their
undergraduate study in which
they will earn a grade of pass
ing or failing.
Elective Courses
The motion, introduced by
Sen. Bill Potts, said that
these courses must be elec
tives and not meet require
ments for graduation from a
certain college.
Potts explained that with
this procedure students could
take courses not included in j
their regular area oi study

understood it, if a student !
failed one of these elective
courses, an "F" or failure j
would be included in his av-!

Sen. Don Yoss reported at
the meeting that his intramur

is almost finished with a com
bined report of all recreation
al facilities on campus. He
said two different sheets cov

In the 263-page book which
was the application for ap
proval from Washington, the
University and the North
ern Natural Gas Co. noted
that the center would be de
signed to accommodate 2,
000 trainees, primarily
"school dropouts and initial
occupational failures" with
large representation from
"minority and culturally de
prived groups."
If approved the center
would accept 400 trainees
by late summer, 1966, and
number over a two-year
period to 2,000.
Operated By Jobco
The proposed center
would be operated by a non
profit corporation known
as Jobco. Directors of Jobco
would come from both the
University and the Northern
Natural Gas Co.
Initially the center
would be operated by a staff
of "00 instructors and serv
ice personnel. This number
would eventually be in
creased to 1,015 persons.
Of the 1.015 persons, about
half would be in the educa

would serve in the personal
development division con
sisting of counselors, work
ers, psychologists and medi
cal personnel and their as-

Bennett said that he has just
begun to receive responses to
his inquiries to these schools
and these responses are now
under study.
No course of investigation
has yet been laid concerning a

IFC Proposes
Election Changes
A proposal altering the
structure of Interfraternity
Council elections was pro
posed at a meeting of IFC
Wednesday night.
In explaining the proposed
changes, Buzz Madson. IFC
president said that previously
i 1
i the president and all officers
j were elected at the last meet
ing of first semester.
However, he said, the elec
tions ran into difficulties with
exams and finals.
Under the new proposal, the
president would be elected the
first week of the second sem
ester and the vice president
and secretary would be elect
! the second week of second
j semester. The affairs chair
j man would be elected the third
I week.
Under the proposal the
treasurer would be elected in
December, making the term
of the treasurer correspond
more closely with the finan
cial year, according to Skip
Soiref, IFC treasurer.
Noting that the budget is
prepared by the old treasur
er and within two months is
being implemented by a new
treasurer, Sorief said, ""The
budget is outdated before it
gets started."
Soiref t-aid that with tb
election of treasurer in early
December, the old treasurer
could work with toe new
elected treasurer in making
the new budget.
Madson said that Article 4,
Section 3 and Article 5, Sec
tion 3 of the IFC constitution
would have to be amended to
make the election changes.
In other business, the IFC
voted to send miiiL'tes of IFC
meetings to all chapter ad
visors, thus keeping them in

The group also voted t
participate and help set up a
Greek Charity Basketball
Tournament to raise money
