It's new student govern ment, goals and programs was the subject of Sen. Ron Pfeifer's talk to the Lincoln Evening Optimist Club Mon day night. Pfeifer is the first senator to speak to a Lin coln civic club in a program sponsored by the ASUN public relations committee. The program Is designed to explain the ASUN to the Lincoln public and to give Lin colnites a chance to ask a student government repre sentative questions about the University. Mueller Planetarium StOIT By Julie Morris Junior Staff Writer Star gazers may find it a bit more comfortable to pur sue their hobby at the Ralph Mueller Planetarium in Mor rill Hall rather than outside in the winter cold. Sound effects, special light ing and soft padded seats are used in this "Theater of the Stars" where the audience can relax and study an illusion of the night sky, complete with stars, moon and planets, that is projected on the 31-foot domed plaster ceiling. Sky shows begin with a pro Jection and discussion of the current night sky and are fol lowed by an explanation of some facet of space study. The programs are rotated about every two months. The current program is a Christmas show, "The Guid ing Star," the astronomical story of the Star of Bethle hem. "The Guiding Star" is a traditional Christmas show that is presented in plane- tariums throughout the world during the Christmas season. To provide a more realistic getting for the sky shows, a silhouette of a skyline appro priate to the program is erected at the edge of t h e dome. The skyline of Bethle hem complete with sand dunes and palm trees, is being used for "The Guiding Light." The show will run until Jan. 2. In addition to a simple pro jection of the night sky, the City Health Authorities Find No Campus Drug Problem By Steve Jordon Junior Staff Writer A woman student from Kan sas University estimated that ud to ten per cent ot ku stu. dents have had some experi ence with "pot", or man. Innna. A book titled "The Road to II" says that 500 young men have become newly addicted to drugs every year" since 1949, with "a vast majority f those usinc heroin. The University library has over 20 books on "Drug au diction", with many more on herion, marijuana, narcotics law and narcotics medicine. Lincoln Use But in Lincoln, on the Uni versity campus, the use of narcotics is v i rt u al 1 y un known, according to city health authorities and a ran dom poll in the Nebraska Un ion. , . "Drug addiction has not even been brought to our at tention as a health problem. Dr G R. Underwood, direc tor' of the City-County Health Department, said. "It Is verv hard for people to obtain drugs," he said. "Barbitiiates are handled by private doctors, and If they re fuse to give any out to nersong ttin are not 111, potential users leave Lincoln for larger clt'es." Out of six students random ly picked in the Union, none had any knowledge of the use of narcotics such as heroin or marijuana or "pep pills", the midly stimulating barbltuates that sometimes can lead to Campus Glue-snlfflng "We had some glue-sniffing problems a few years ago," Dr. Underwood said, "but it quickly died out. Some people may come through town with marijuana cigarettes, but they are qulckby picked up by the police." CSZGITS OVJS planetarium can present the sun, sunrise, meteor showers, the northern lights and earth satellites. Pictures are pro jected through a pinpoint pro ject, or that can produce all the stars in the sky with one light bulb, according to Al lan Griesemer, associate cur ator of educational services at the museum. Griesemer said it is "a little bit easier to" star gaze in the planetarium, but we try to get people interested in the real sky outdoors." He said music is used to set a mood, noting, "One of the most im portant things about a plane tarium is a mood." "You can lose yourself in here, it can be something of a unique experience, Griese mer said. The planetarium has a seat Ing capacity of 100. Griesemer said he would "conservatively estimate" that 248,000 people had seen shows at the plane tarium since its 1958 opening. The planetarium was con strueted with funds donated by a University alumni from the class of 1898, Ralph S Mueller. A new sky show, "Preview of the sky for 1966" is sehed uled to begin Jan. 3. The planetarium is currently on its winter schedule with shows Wednesday at 8 p.m., Satur day afternoon at 2:45, and Sun days and holidays at 2:30 and 3:45 p.m. The planetarium ar ranges private shows for groups who request it. "There is just about no way for students to get narcotics, even if they wanted to," sen ior Fred Waltemade said. "I really have no knowledge of the subject, let alone the use of such drugs here on cam pus." Slums, with their concen trated minority groups and poor conditions for child-raising, provide ready buyers for heroin, including juvenile gangs, unemployed men and even junior high school stu- dents, the book says. Pi Sigma Alpha Initiation Open To Eligible Students Exploration of government and politics on all levels is a goal of the University's chap ter of Pi Sigma Alpha, na tional political science honor ary society, according to Bill Harding, president of the group. "In essence, it is an honor ary society that generally acts as a study group," Harding said. "The University already has two very active political action groups, but that Is not our purpose.' Membership is open to any University student who hag completed 12 credit hours of political science with a 6.5 average In those courses. In itiation of members will take place Wednesday, Dec. 8, and eligible students who are In terested In joining should con tact an officer of the group or the secretary In the polltl cal science office in the So cial Sciences building. Officers of the group in clude Harding, president; Jim DeMars, vice president; and Students Must Complete Schedule Worksheets Class schedules for second semester are now available in the University residence halls, the Nebraska Union, the East Union and at the Registrar's Office, Window 2. Mrs. Iram Laase, assistant registrar, said that students who preregistered Oct. 11-22 should complete the white copy of their worksheets, fill ing in the hour, section, and day for their classes, and, also, the lower half of the worksheet. The Registrar's office said that a decision will be upcom ing concerning whether a student who has courses list ed on his preregistration sheet which conflict in time, may change these courses when he completes his registration forms that are to be turned in Nov. 30 to Dec. 17. The completed worksheet should then be mailed (envel opes for maijing are avail able with the schedules) or Committee Film Forum The pilot session of a ser ies of "film forums," de signed to provide a time and place for the discussion of foreign films shown at t h e Nebraska Union, will be held tomorrow night at 7 p.m. in the Union. Stephen Hilliard, associate professor of English, will lead a discussion of Lola," a French film that will be shown tonight as part of the Union Film Society series. The Union Film Committee is sponsoring the forums be cause "oftentimes, after a film, people would like to dis cuss and interpret a film as to its message," according to Larry Johnson, committee chairman. Johnson said that there is presently no opportunity ior such discussion of "Lola" be cause "sometimes faculty can see a lot more than a lot of students" in a film. He said the role of discussion leader would not be limited to fac ulty members. Future dis cussions might be conducted by students. Johnson emphasized the tri al nature of tomorrow's dis cussion adding, "We'd like to have one after every film in the series." The forums will not be held for the weekend films shown at the Union. Johnson said most of the weekend films are "more entertainment type films" in contrast to the for eign films in which he said "the director has a special message or special purpose." Richard Scott, Union pro gram manager, praised the forum idea. "I think it's an excellent idea, something 'we've have a good many re quests for from our Film So- I ciety members," he said. Cuz Guenzel, secretary-treas urer. Last spring the group was reorganized on the campus. Harding explained, and mem bership currently totals about 25. Meetings are held once every three weeks. Forum discussions on such matters as the state income tax, problems in Germany and the 1965 state legislature have been held. Topics usually concern areas the members particu larly want to discuss, Hard ing continued, and they "try not to spend a great deal of time on any particular field." Viet Nam will be discussed at the Dec. 8 meeting under the direction of Dr. Soon Sung Cho and Dr. Arthur Win ter of the political science de partment and Dr. Dean Rugs, associate professor of geog raphy. Future topics to be discuss ed include reapportionment, the public defender and court systems, and the effects of pressure blocks on tb tree world. brought to the Registrar's Of fice. All preregistered students will be sent copies of their registrations about Jan 7, ac cording to Mrs. Laase. One copy must be completely fill ed out and returned to the Registrar by Jan. 21 or the student's registration will be cancelled. Students not preregistered should see their advisers and turn in their worksheets Nov. 30 through Dec. 17. Cards for these students will be pulled after those worksheets re ceived on time from preregis tered students have been pro cessed. Mrs. Laase said that there would be no billing for fees for preregistered students un til the end of the registra tion and add period on Febr. 7. Students will then be given about one week after billing to pay tneir tees. Instructions concerning payment will be sent with the billing. To Offer On 'Lola' "We are interested in ex. panding and improving our Film Society and we think this is a step toward our goal," he added. Scott said that there has been a "good response" to the Film Society so far. Scott said he could "prob ably hope for 50 people" at the first forum and that the forums would expand from there. Copies of "NU Cinema," the Film Society's magazine, will be distributed at the two show ings of the movie tonight. The magazine Includes reviews of all the films presented by the Society. The discussion on "Lola" tomorrow night is open to any student, faculty member or member of the Film Society. MIT Professor To Speak At Behlen Lab Dedication Dedication ceremonies for the new $1.25 million Beh len Laboratory of Physics will be tomorrow at 11 a.m. The program will consist of tours of the facility followed by a dedication luncheon in the Nebraska Union with Chancellor Clifford M. Har din presiding. Guest speaker will be Dr. Theo J. Thompson, a Uni versity graduate who is now professor of nuclear engi neering at the Massachu setts Institute of Technol ogy. Walter Behlen, presi dent of the Behlen Manu facturing Company at Co lumbus, will represent the Behlen family. The new structure, locat ed on North 10th Street just north of the Law Col lege, was partially financed with a $400,000 gift from brothers Walter, Gilbert, and Mike Behlen. A $600, 000 grant from the Nation al Science Foundation and $250,000 from the Univer sity building levy completed the necessary funds. Faith In Nebraska Chancellor Hardin has termed the Behlen gift, "an other incident reflecting the faith of a Nebraska family in the future of the state." The Behlens have had previous associations with the University, several of their children having attend ed it. Walter Behlen was awarded an honorary doctor ate degree in engineering from the University in 1959. Dr. Edward Zimmerman, chairman of the department of physics, and his staff moved into the building this year since all are Involved In physics research there. The structure, which serves as an addition to present facilities, Includes office space for the facul ty, a departmental library, and research laboratories. Laboratories are available for nuclear reaction and neutron physics, solid-state programs including X-ray itegemfs ESI By Ruth Hagedorn Junior Staff Writer The University Board of Regents traveled to Ohio State University, Nov. 18-19 to find how thaf university, with its enrollment of 30,000 students, solved its expansion problem. Ohio's main difficulty, par alleling that of the University of Nebraska, is the proximity of its campus to the down town district, according to Accident Claims mversity loq Funeral services were held Monday for Christy Lund, a University sophomore from Lincoln, who was killed in a one-car accident near Beres- ford, S.D., the evening o f fov. 25. Miss Lund, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Orville Lund of 3427 So. 29th, w a s a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorori ty. Miss Lund She was a Southeast High School graduate and secretary of Aquaquettes. She had also been a member of Orthopedic Project and Nebraska Union films committee. She held membership in Westminister Presbyterian Chun Miss Lund was wn four other University students at the time of the accident on Interstate 29 six miles south of Beresford. Rocky White, 20, of Sioux Falls, who was driving the diffraction, studies of radia tion effects in solids and theoretical elementary par ticle physics. Experimental Space The concrete-lined accel erator room in the sub-basement is designed for nucle ar reaction and neutron phy sics research. An instru ment shop is in the first basement. This facility will make it possible to provide precision work for servic ing the general needs of spe cialized research equipment. The first floor of the Beh len building is devoted pri marily to research in solid state physics and also in A $1.25 MILLION STRUCTURE . . . The new IMhlen Laboratory of Physics north of the Luw College, will be formally dedicated Thursday. aimsDODD iuiiwocyiifoes Val Petersen, chairman of the Board. "It is apparent to everyone who visits this campus, re tersen said, "that we have a difficult problem trying to find space enough to con struct beautiful buildings.' The city to the south and rail roads to the north, east, and west offer little room for ex pansion, he explained. Need Master Plan Petersen continued, "T h e Board of Regents is conscious car, and Janis Yeager, also of Sioux Falls and a sorority sister of Miss Lund's, suffered minor injuries. Stephen West of Lincoln was hospitalized with undetermined back in juries. White and West are mem bers of Sigma Chi fraternity at the University. Highway Patrolman George Dunn of Beresford said White told him he swerved the car to miss a jackrabbit. The car went out of control and into a ditch. Dunn said he found a dead rabbit near the scene and evidence the car had hit it. The north bound lane in which the car was traveling was wet but not icy at the time of the acci dent. Miss Lund's survivors in clude her parents; a sister, Mrs. Dwaine Carlson of Lin coln, and grandfather, Newton Carter of Los Angeles. The funeral service was held at Westminster Presby terian Church with burial in Lincoln Memorial Park. cludes X-ray diffraction re search laboratories. Re search facilities for theore tical physics are on the sec ond floor along with the library, seminar, conference rooms and departmental of fices. The third floor Includes laboratories for high and low-energy studies, photo metric and spectroscopic laboratories and the MoSs baucr - effect experimental nuclear physics. The Behlen Laboratory adjoins Brace Laboratory which will continue to be used for physics classes. jL 1 1 it r ! r I XH i MA! i i I nil wi :i n ft n n nx of its responsibility with re. gard to the building of n e w dorms, eating places, and the sorority and fraternity com plex. We must have a master plan." .tsut tne jod is broader t. nature than just architecture. It requires people with vis ion who can lay out campus to fit into the pattern of the year 2000." Petersen said tnat it ap pears more buildings will be placed on the East Campus in the future where there is both room and beautiful sur roundings. He said that it is necessary for living units to have a park-like atmosphere so that students can step out into a favorable environment. "It is my personal opinion," Kearney State To Purchase Sheldon Land Money from the sale of 545 acres of farmland on the west edge of Kearney approxi mately $300,000 is going to beautify the grounds of Sheldon Art Gallery. This, according to Dick Fleming, University Public re lations assistant director, would include the proposed sculpture garden west of the gallery. The land is a gift from the Miss Frances Sheldon estate. Kearney State College will purchase 119 acres of the land for approximately $83,- 000. The State Normal Board had originally planned on us ing $70,000 of a $200,000 1965 67 capital funds appropriation for the purchase. Kearney State President Milton Hassel has suggested some $13,000 be taken from a $50,000 allotment for fire safe ty devices. The price paid by Kearney State College for the 119 acres was determined by the av erage price paid for other portions of the Sheldon land. Norman Geske, director of the Sheldon Art Gallery, and Carl Donaldson, University business manager, were not available for comment on the sale. Certificates Available For Phi Eta Sigma's Membership certificates for those initiated into Phi Eta Sigma in October and May may be picked up in room 103 of the Geography building, ac cording to John Schrekinger, president. Phi Eta Sigma is the honor ary scholastic fraternity for freshmen men. ' ' 'Ml. n n stated Petersen, "that the East and city campuses will eventually be linked, and this day is not far off." He said that the University is destined to grow to about 25,000 in just a few years. This growth is the reason the University must have the best professional help in America working on its mas ter plan," Petersen said. Greater Problem The Board of Regents found Nebraska's problem even more difficult than that of Ohio State since the latter uni versity has a river along one edge of the campus with land available across it. Petersen said that Ohio actually has no duplication of Nebraska.'s problem, but "much was learned from Ohio concerning master planning." Possible services and bene fits rendered by University planners were investigated. The Board hopes to visit other universities using mas ter planning and having simi lar expansion problems. Omaha Regent Welsh Declines Re-Election J. LeRoy Welsh, long-time member of the Board of Re gents, will not be a candidate for re-election in 1966. Welsh, a regent since 1948, said his decision was based on ill health which was showing slow improvement. He also said that business obligations were taking more of his time and he could not continue to serve. He represents the second district which includes Oma ha. Cornhusker Must Retake 600 Pictures Over 600 pictures taken by a photographer for the Corn husker between Nov. 17 and Thanksgiving vacation will have to be retaken in the next week according to Marian Sicklebower, panel editor. Miss Sicklebower said that the steelblade in the shutter of the camera used by t h e Cornhusker's professional pho tographer from New York was not working properly while the last 600 plus pictures were being taken. She explained that this mal function in the camera equip ment was not discovered un til the proofs for these pictures were developed in New York. The pictures which will have to be retaken include those of students in Women's Resi dence, Pound Hall, Cather, Abel, Selleck, Unicorns, Towne Club, all the co-ops and part of Sigma Phi Epsilon fra ternity. The New York studio will send letters to all the students who need to have their piotures retaken. "I can't over emphasize how Important it is that these students get their pictures retaken as soon as possible," Miss Sicklebower stressed. She also urged all these stu dents who would have to get new pictures taken to send their proofs back as soon as they received them from the New York studio. "Retaking over 600 pictures of the 3900 student pictures we took will throw the living resi dences part of the book be hind schedule by about four weeks," she pointed out. Miss Sicklebower did stress that with quick cooperation from the students whose pic tures will have to be retaken, the yearbook will still be fin ished and come out on sched ule next spring. Sen. Callan To Speak To Young DttmocroSi Nebraska Congressman Clair Callan will speak at the Young Democrats meeting to night in the Nebraska Union. Tom Booth, YD'g president, said the meeting would star' at 7:30 p.m. fi 1 5.
