By popular female demand (he Women's Athletic Associa tion has announced their prob able sponsorship of Sunday night co-recreational pool games in conjunction with the Nebraska Union. It was brought to the atten tion of WAA thai many girls know how and like to play pool but feel rather strange doing so in what seems to be the 'Man's Corner" of the Union. The WAA is now taking the final steps in remedying the situation by making pool n nor f koi'. ! a pan ui iiii.il iiiiiaiiiuidl sports program. "Extramural" sports, which are set up as a supplement to the intramurals, are another new feature of WAA. They in clude such sports as field hockey, basketball, valleyball, bowling, tennis, badminton, riflery, and and are played between colleges. "These sports were set up for people interested in intra murals but wanting to go fTther," according to K a y Huffaker, WAA president. The field hockey season, which included games against Doane, Wesleyan, and Con cordia has been concluded. Bawling began its season against Kansas. Basketball and volleyball are just being organized. "Stimulating the girls and practicing are the main prob lems" according to Miki Mc Cartney, co-ordinator. She stated that 20 interested col leges have already been heard from and that it would not be difficult to line up enough games for the irls. Basketball and volleyball will be h a n d 1 e d as tour naments with as many schools as possible playing each week end. Teams for most of the sports have not as yet been named, so inter"sted girls may contact Miss McCartney. Practices for all sports will be held on Friday afternoons at 4:30. YR's To Hear Thone Speak This Thursday A former nominee for lieu tenant governor, Charles Thone, will speak at a meet ing of the Young Republican Thursday evening at 7:30 p.m in the Nebraska Union. Thone, a Lincoln attorney, lost the lieutenant governor race by less than 3,000 votes in 1964. He has been an ad ministrative assistant to Sen. Roman Hruska and chairman of the Nebraska Republican Central Committee. i cioge able to comprehend Spanish in order to understand their courses, but we also look for those students who know and are interested in U.S. history and government and are well read on U.S. policies and for eign affairs," Esquenazi said. He said that the State De partment finances these ex change programs. The stu dents receive health and acci dent insurance, a round trip ticket by jet airline from Lin coln to Mexico City, and $30 a month spending money. He added that a current tot al of $55,000 in scholarships to the college Is now available for participants in the ex change programs. The students were chosen by the Latin American Studies Committee which includes Lloyd Teale, romance langu ages. The purpose of the program, according to the committee, is to help Americans compre hend and interpret the com plex interplay of hemisphere events. This is thought to be necessary because of the emergence of Latin Ameri cans to the foreground in world affairs. This is the fourth year that University students have been sent to El Colegi" de Mexico. Twenty students have partici pated in the exchange program. Blood Campaign To Make History By Beth Robbins Junior Staff Writer The organized blood drive sponsored by the University Red Cross chapter is appar ently the first of its kind here, according to Dr. Sam uel Fuenning, medical direc tor of the Student Health Center. In the past, the University has had a "walking blood bank," he said, but no or- to give because of the limita ganized drives. A walking i tions will be put on a re blood bank is a list of donors, I serve list, already typed, who have vol-i ..Tf tne . d unteered to give blood m an trv ri.h awav p emergency. The bloodmobile visiting tbe University on Dec. 2 will re ceive donations in the ball room of the Nebraska Union from 10:3(1 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The donations will go to the Department of Defense, to be used by servicemen both in tbe United States and over seas. All living units will receive explanatory letters from the ing the drive, Cassie Wilde, Red Cross chairman said. Letters will also be sent to ROTC units and some organ izations. Miss Wilde urged ev eryone to read these letters at a group meeting. All students wishing to do nate blood should sign the lists included with the letters, Miss Wilde said.

Andy Taube announc ed in Senate Wednesday that the University Athletic De partment will waive the iden tification requirement for fans holding student tickets at the Oklahoma game on Thanks giving Day. Taube, who is chairman of the student welfare commit tee, said that an opinion poll conducted by his committee had shown that 30 per cent of the students in the East sta dium and 40 per cent of the students in the South stadium will not be at the Oklahoma game Thanksgiving Day. He explained that because of the results of this poll his committee had met with Jim Pittengcr, ticket manager, and Tippy Dye, athletic di rector, to discuss how the stadium would look on nation al television that day if many students are gone. Taube said that many of these students would be sell ing their tickets anyway, so, in talks with University offi cials, his commiteee suggest ed the exchange of tickets for this particular game might as well be "over the table and legal and at the same time fill the empty seats in the stadium. He stressed that ordinarily it is against University rules for a student to sell or give his student ticket to another individual and that the ath letic department's decision resulted only because of the circumstances in this definite case. Taube quoted Dye as say ing, "Holders of student tick ets for the nationally-televised Big Eight game will be ad mitted without an identifica tion card because of the un usual circumstances of this game." The announcement from the Athletic Department further pointed out that waiving of the identification procedure will enable students who will up lists must be turned in to the Red Cross mailbox in the Union by Tuesday, Nov. 23. Donors will then receive ap pointment cards by mail. The bloodmobile has a lim it of 220 pints. If more stu dents volunteer, donors will be taken from each group in proportion to the number on their sign-up list, Miss Wilde said. Those students not able the bloodmobile back second semester," Miss Wilde said. It will probably be booked up until spring, she said. In the past, students wish ing to donate blood have added their names to the don or lists at Lincoln hospitals, Fuenning said. Donors re ceive $25 for each pint of blood. Although the call for blood donation has not gone out to the campus as a whole be fore, separate living units sucb as fraternities have do nated blood as a group, ac cording to Malcom Towne, chief technician at the Vet erans Hospital blood bank. All volunteers must be at least 18 years old to donate blood. Those under 21 and un married must have paren tal consent. Consent cards will be enclosed with the letters to organizations and living units, Miss Wilde said. Donors must be free from any significant illness a month before the date of their do nation. They must also be free of alergy or hay fever sym toms at the time of the do nations, and not have had any major surgery or blood transfusions within the last six months. They should not have had undulant fever in the past wo vears. Anyone who has had jaun dice, or been In close con tact with the disease recent ly is also eliminated. Malar ia, diabetes or pregnancy within the past year also eliminates donors. Remove equiremenf be going home for Thanksgiv ing to pass their tickets on without fear of penalty, for this game only. Dye said according to the release, "We realize that the game will be played on Thanksgiving Day and many students will be home and un able to attend. However we want as many people as pos sible to fill the stands so that we can have a large crowd for the national TV audience. "It is for this reason that we are waiving identification and permitting the students to pass on their tickets to oth er people who may desire to see the game." Abel Residents Reecf By Steve Jordan Junior Staff Writer A majority of Abel Hall residents voted to approve their first constitution yester day, but the two-thirds vote needed to ratify the document was not reached. A 56 per cent favorable ma jority, 402 for and 310 against, was not high enough for rati fication as provided by the document. Over 70 per cent of Abel's 1,000 residents voted on the constitution, which had been drawn up by a convention of house presidents and dele gates that began meeting Oct. 14. "A convention will have to meet to draw up another pro posal," Roger Doerr, chair man of the old convention, said. "They will have to start from scratch or re-approve each section and re-submit it to the residents." Doerr said that probably the Photo by Tom Rubin ABEL MEN government. CAMPAIGN Speakers To Analyze 'Inner City1 The effects of living in a de pressed area of the city will be discussed at the second in a series of programs on the "inner city" of Lincoln at 3 p.m. Sunday at Malone Com munity Center, 2030 T St. This program will include talks on how depressed living conditions affect a child's edu cation, his social well-being and his family relationships. Dr. Wylie Russell of Nebras ka Wesleyan will discuss the effects "inner city" living con ditions have on childrens' ed ucation. Jerry Dominquis, a probation officer for the Lin coln Juvenile Court, will ex plain the social effects of liv ing in a depressed area. A. R. McCorkle of the Fami ly Service Association will discuss the breakup of family relationships that result in "in ner cities." The first in this series of programs on Oct. 24 covered the conditions in an "inner city." The third and fourth ses sions, which will follow Sun day's meeting, will discuss, present and possible future programs to help or alleviate the problem of an "inner city." This program series is spon sored by the Nebraska Dis trict of the Student YMCA YWCA.

Srat UeSTflOODuD By Wayne Kreuscher Senior Staff Writer Two petitions requesting a declaratory judgment in con nection with the Student Sen ate's action Oct. 24 in setting up a new interviewing board for Homecoming queen final ists will be acted on in t h e ASUN Student Court's first case Saturday. The first petition, filed by Linda Muff as president of Tassels, states that Miss Muff feels the Senate action Oct. 24 "in altering the Constitu tion of Tassels" in connection with the Homecoming queen finalist interviewing board same persons will be at the stitution would be "amended new conventions, with the ex- to fit the will of the majority." ceptions of a new chairman The anti.ratification sheet and recording secretary. . , .. . .. , 6 charged that "The Ececutive Some of the measures used ., . , in an active "campaign" by Counci1 may take Power the constitution's proponents away from the floor govern and opposition included hand-, ment," using a clause in the bills distributed T u e s d a y j constitution that says the Ex night, i ecutive Council can "exercise Loss ot tloor individuality and independence."

E. Bryan, director of housing. "It will take us until then to get the figures together," Bryan said. "The two ma jor issues involved are whether the building itself will be finished and jeady for occupancy and whether there will be enough people to justify opening the hall," he added. "We must consider whether the income would support the overhead," he continued. "That will de pend on the number of new students, Lincoln residents and people who think their present housing is inade quate and will want to trans ier into dormitory housing. If the hall is not opened second semester, he said, it will remain closed until the summer or fall. "It isn't practical to open a dorm after the semester ha? started," he said. Bryan said that he hat reason to believe the con tract was "going along pret ty well." He added that the purchasing department has ilready ordered most of the "umishings for the hall. . The eight-floor structure has a capacity of 56 girls per floor, totaling 448 in all. Ir3 ears was without constitutional au thorization. She says in her petition that Student Senate does not have the right to "amend and-or al ter the constitutions of t h e existing student organiza tions." The second petition, filled by ASUN Attorney General Lee Kovarik in answer to Miss Muff's petition, states that the "constitution of the Tassels or ganization of the Univerity of Nebraska lias not been amended or is now in danger of being amended by the Stu dent Senate of the Association of Students of the University Constitution any other powers necessary for the general welfare of the Association's residents."

Sandoz Hall is linked to the cafe teria by means of a ground floor passage. "Since the cafeteria and certain maintenance facili ties are for both halls, it would be correct to call the hall a complex since that is what it is," Bryan added.

"Therefore, there is no is sue as to the power of the Stu dent Senate to amend, either in fact or de facto, the consti tution of the Tassels organiza tion," the Senate petition ex plains. The Senate petition does point out. however, that Arti cle IV, Sec. 1 (C) of the con stitution of the ASUN does give the Association the speci fic power to "schedule and-or conduct" any election of "gen eral University interest, not excluding those for contests sponsored by subordinate or ganizations." "The election of the Home coming queen is a contest of 'general University interest.' The method of selection of the final candidates is an integral Student Fees Furnish Funds For Services Student Health, the Daily Nebraskan and the Nebraska Union all receive portions of the $37 in fees which stu dents carrying over six hours pay along with their tuition. According to Robert Wil liams, comptroller, the mo ney will be distributed this year in the same manner it was in the past when the amount of fees was $30 a stu dent. The seven dollar increase in fees will be budgeted each year "as activities justify their n(?ed for further assistance for that year." "This seven dollars will probably not be used as 'fire call' funds to balance an over- drawn budget," Williams stressed. "The groups should try to anticipate their fiscal j needs and submit them when I applying for their annual allot ments, he said. The current budget includes the Union debt service (which pays for the bonds for the building), $6.50; Union oper I ating expenses, $4.50; Student (Health debt service, $5; Stu ; dent Health operating ex Ipenses, $13; and the Daily ' Nebraskan. $1. ; This year the remaining sev en dollars, Williams said, may be used for ASUN, intramural ! facilities, the Daily Nebras jkan and the Union debt serv ice. He also said mat tunas may be used to supplement existing funds available to need students. may cause a difficulty, he said, several people have in dicated an interest in being student assistants for the new hall. "Custodial and cafeteria staffs are no problem," Bry an said. "It is simply a matter of increasing the ori ginal organization and is nothing like duplicating a separate organization." Elevators for the new hall will stop at every floor, ac cording to Bryan. This dif uthoroily part of the election of t h e Homecoming queen and is therefore included under t ft e express power granted in Art. IV, Sec. 1 (C) as a phase of 'conducting' the election," ac cording to the Senate's peti tion. Miss Muff requests specifi cally in her petition "a declar atory judgment stating that the power to establish the in terviewing board for Home coming queen rests with the Tassels organization." The constitution of the. ASUN in Article IV, Section 1 gives the Association the pow er "to recognize all proposed new student organizations and to approve their constitutions; but in no part of the constitu tion of the Association is the power granted to amend and or alter the constitutions of the existing student organizations by a legislative enactment of the Student Senate," her peti tion asserts. Her petition stresses that since such power to establish such an interviewing board is expressly delegated in Article X of the Constitution of t h e Tassels organization, such legislation by the Student Senate is a de facto amend ment and-or alternation of the Constitution of the Tassels or ganization. The Senate petition says that when the Student Senate acts under the authority of specific grants of power such as the election clause, the ASUN by its action, pre-empts that part cular area of activity to the exclusion of any other campus organization. Contrary provi sions which may exist in the constitutions of subordinate or ganizations are suspended from operation until the Asso ciation has withdrawn from the area of activity in ques tion. The Senate petition requests that the court declare that the power of the Tassel organiza tion to establish an interview ing board for the Homecom ing candidates depends on if the ASUN uses its prerogative to enter this field or not un der its expressed power to co duct elections of general Uni versity interest. ASUN President Kent Neu meister said in Senate Wedne day that the court would meet to decide on these petitions at 10 a.m. Saturday in room 232 of the Nebraska Union.

He explained the differ ences in elevator service by saying that while the other halls are 13 stories high and therefore make every-floor service impractical, Sandoz has only eight floors and would not need the time-saving systems.
