THE UNIVERSITY'S
N
ew IBM To Replace
Processing Equipment
By Julie Morris !
Junior Staff Writer
An IBM computer replacing
virtually all of the data pro
cessing equipment now in use
in University administration
will soon be installed in the
data processing department.
The computer's first assign
ments will be in the areas of
student services and planning,
according to Dr. Joseph Sosh
nik, vice chancellor for busi
ness and finance. Soshnik said
the machine can be pro
grammed to keep speedy and
precise track of student en
rollment, fee-payment and
grade records.
'Invaluable Aid'
The computer can also as
sist in forecasting classroom,
course and staff requirements
which Soshnik said will be of
invaluable aid to the Univer
sity in planning to serve stu
dents in the future.
A 360 IBM model the
computer is the first of its
CAMPUS
Note: Due to the number
of room scheduling conflicts
of the Nebraska Union, the
Daily Nebraskan has been
requested to NOT list room
numbers of meetings, as
they are often changed at
the last minute. Thus, only
the time of meetings in the
Union will be given. The
J-Students
Pick Council
Journalism students have
elected 12 representatives to
the J-Council, the coordinat
ing body of the University
School of Journalism.
New members include:
Freshmen Stuart Frahm,
Julie Fern, Rodney Powell;
sophomores Dick Holmam,
Julie Morris, Deanina Grotz
inger; juniors Hal Foster,
Cheryl Parks, Jim Swartz;
and seniors Diane Steffen
sen. Karen Johnson, John
Reiser.
Mrs. Carol Young, the J
Counril faculty adviser, said
that the representatives from j
each class had been raised j
from two to three due to an j
enrollment increase of one-!
third in the School of Journal- j
ism.
"It was felt the added rep- j
resentatives would provide
more adequate representa-i
tion," she said. j
Mrs. Young said one of the
first concerns of the Council
will be to seek apjiroval of a
constitution for the J-Council.
New officers of Junior Inter-fraternity
Council were
elected recently. They are
Gene Hohensee of Delta Upsi
lon, president; Dick Dosek of
Phi Kappa Psi, vice presi
dent; Jim Iverson of Phi Del
ta Theta, secretary, and How
ard Gerelick of Sigma Alpha
Mu, treasurer.

With the services of t h e

begin a fee payment system
for students that would defer

Museum

By Bruce Giles
Junior Staff Writer
The University Museum is
moving up up in fact, to
the third floor of Morrill
Han.
Display cases formerly lo
cated in the 12-foot corridor
in the basement of Morrill
Hall are being moved to the
20-foot corridors of the third
floor.
"There was so much con
gestion and the aisles were so
narrow, we could not handle
our enormous visitor popula
tion " said Museum Director
Dr c Bertrand Schultz. "And
w.ith tj,e new 8oUDd system,
couldn't get a large' group
out to see the exhibit that was
being talked about.

Because of the move,
Schultz said that the lower
floor will have only biological
exhibits consisting of zoology,
botany, health science and

"This will also give us a

Funds, according to Schultz,
are being handled through the
University of Nebraska Foun
dation. Room numbers are also be
ing changed in Morrill Hall.
"It was too confusing wlien
you told people to go to the
first floor," said Schultz. They
didn't know whether to go to
the basement or to the main
floor.
Instead of basement and one
through three, the floors will
now be numbered one through
four.
Speaking of the great num
ber of people visiting the mu
seum, Schultz said the mu
seum has a division of edu
cational services "helping us
work with the enormous num
ber of school groups."
Las year there were 230,
000 visitors to the museum.
Schultz noted further that ai
many as 55 school groups
have visited the museum in
one day.

students visiting the museum

"The elevators are set oa
an automatic system that
stops the car if any of the
doors are opened," he said,
"The boys are pulling them
open with hangers or just by
hand, causing the car to stop
for a time wherever it is."
Residents Trappe
Residents of Abel South
have been trapped inside the
elevator several floors away
from the nearest door, since
the car does not stop on the
bottom six floors.
A safety hitch the top
of each car is provided is ease
of emergency, bat this win
also cause the car to stop, if
opened, Mr. Arndt said.
The elevators have been
shut down for up to 36 hours
while repairs were made.
"We rent the elevators from
a company, and they send
a man out to do the repairs,"
Mr. Arndt said. "We've even
had to send airmail to replace
parts that have been broken."
Mistreat Equipment
"If the boys would treat the
equipment here as if it were
their own, the elevators would
provide smooth service," he
said. "They don't mistreat
their cars or rifles, and they
should realize that stopping
the elevators is expensive and
inconveniences everyone else.
Abel elevators now squeak,
scrape along the shaft aid
"sing" while moving up and
down the 13-story building.
With only one elevator oper
ating, overcrowding may re
sult. "Capacity in the elevator is
18 persons," Mr. Arndt said,
"and any more than that could
outweigh the counter-balances
inside the shafts. If the car
is then too heavy, it might
go down instead of up."
Elevators at Cather-Pound
and Women's Residence Halls
are not giving residents any
problem, according to resi
dence directors.
