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."

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
