The sound of a busy tele phone line has become one of :he traditions of University I ving, along with the noise of narled traffic and the rum- j'e of construction. The problem of how to pro vide sudents on East and city campuses with adequate tele- 1 lone service is being solved i 1 part by the students them selves.

Students in dormitories and Greek housing have put in a 1 ?cord number of private lines to speed their service, ac cording to Merl Sherman, ad vertising manager of Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph Co. "There are about 850 stu f'?nt phones on the city cam- ; !'s alone, .Sherman lata. ' This is just about double those last year." He explained the jump in c'udent lines as "a trend of times." "There's more money avail able every year," he said. 'More kids have cars, more ! ave motorcycles it's just : mething that goes along with increased spending." No Deposit Another reason is the elimi nation of the deposit required ! :,r installation of a new tele j ..one, he said. "The monthly rates haven't changed, but there used to be k ) to $25 charged for a new mne." Sherman said. "Now ' ith a good credit rating, here is no deposit required."

Only three fraternities and Vee sororities don't have rivale lines, and some have g many as 40. The houses all h;ive up to three regular lines and telephones for their house mothers. One of the problems encoun tered earlier this year was In lentional jamming of dormi tory trunk lines, according to Sherman. "Students would deliberate ly jam a trunk Una and get lozrns on a line all at once," l,c said. "The problem has been largely stopped, but any one jamming a line is placing their service in jeopardy, since we can trace these calls." id Students Lines tsesiaes tnis, n an emer gency arises and no one can get through the line, there can be very serious results, Sher man said. The Telephone Company is in the process of distributing 1966 Lincoln-area phone books, which is being done by an ex change method. "We have given out about half the directories, -an Abel Hall operator said. "That would give us about 130 stu dent phones. The new Builders Student Directory does not contain most new private numbers. while the Lincoln book has only those whicn were issued early in the year. Blood Drive Opens Today The Red Cross blood drive is being held today in the Ne braska Union Conference rooms from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The bloodmobile has been set up and members of the University Red Cross chapter are assisting the Red Cross workers. The donated blood will be sent to the Defense Depart ment for nse among Ameri can servicemen. The Univer sity Red Cross Is sponsoring the drive, which is similar to drives being held on other campuses throughout the na tion. Thus far, more than 3,000 pints of blood have been do nated from students at 13 col leges. By late Wednesday after noon, approximately 200 don ors' names had been receiv ed by the Red Cross, accord ing to Cassie Wild, president of the campus group. Capac ity of the bloodmobile is 220 pints. Students who did not sign up to donate for the blood drive may donate blood if they have parental consent cards or are over 21, M:3S Wild said. Miss Wild urged that don ors keep their appointments and arrive on time for them. She said the Red Cross is "working on a schedule and it is important that appoint ments be kept." She also said that it is im perative that donors under 21 have their parental consent cards with them when they arrive.

Early Registration Creates Problems Misunderstandings and fail ure to read all the new regis tration directions have caused some students to become con fused and uninformed on regis tration procedures for second semester, according to Mrs. Irma Lasse, assistant regis trar. Mrs. Lasse said that the problems connected with com pleting registration for next semester really aren't as great as many students think, but some students and in structors alike have failed to read the instructions care fully . She pointed out that if a stu dent has courses listed on his preregistration sheet, filled out Oct. 11-24, which conflict in time, the schedule book says on page three under "Early Registration," Section A, that a student may substi tute one of the alternate classes which he has listed. Furthermore, she explained that if one of the alternates won't work as a substitute, a student can complete the work sheet whih is due Dec. 17 without the course to be dropped and file a drop and add during the free drop and add period Jan. 24, 25 and 26. Mrs. Lasse said that due to misunderstandings many stu dents are preregistered for courses which are not even being offered second semester pecial lesion Robert Deveraux By Bruce Giles Junior Staff Writer A very special set of diaries is being kept at the Univer sity. Robert Deveraux, who is di recting the laboratory play "The Caretakers" as work for his Masters degree, is one person keeping a diary. He is not alone in his writ ing project. All the persons in volved in the production are keeping diaries, too. One of his assistants, Kar ma Ibsen, is keeping a daily log of the movement and busi ness of the play, 'The Care taker. Another assistant, Lin da Schlcchte, keeps a daily log of the rehearsals, even down to the point of Dever aux s facial expressions. . At night after the rehear sals, Deveraux said, the three actors in the play also write down their reactions to the re hearsal. Deveraux said he records his experiments and methods used in the play direction. "I record what I'm g o 1 n g through, an analysis of what wanted to do and then a record of what actually did go on, he said. "The actors are keeping records of what worked for them and what didn't and how they were able to create roles, he added. Deveraux, who Is taking 18 hours of education courses to Training Plans For Game Set Nebraska's Orange Bowl- bound Huskers will maintain conditioning in Lincoln until Dec. 14, then move to Phoe nix, Ariz., for a week of two-a-day drills. The Huskers will return to Lincoln on Dec. 21, disband for the Christmas holiday, then assemble and fly to Miami for final drills on Dec. 26. r I iff i I ;i'T 'V.

"Drops and adds usually balance each other out and most students end up happy," she noted. Mrs. Lasse explained that these procedures c a n be car ried out easily this year in con nection with University fees because no payments will be requested until after the end of the free drop and add period. She pointed out that since students will not be billed this year until February, the hours listed on their original work sheets turned in during De cember will not affect their tuition. In other words if a stu dent lists less than the twelve hours required for fulltime University standing on his sheet, his tuition will not be affected until after the drop and add hours are figured in his schedule. "This is the first year we have tried preregistration and there has been a little con fusion but it should work out considerably better than be fpre. Many departments have had a better idea about the number of students to expect and have revised their courses to fit the students' needs," she said. meet bis Masters require ments, said, "I'm usin a different way of directing than I ve ever used before rein foreement. I tell them what they did right, thus provid ing a wall against which I can throw the things which they need to improve." Deveraux noted that there are two freshmen and one senior in the play, "influenc ing how I work with them." "I run the risk of passing over the heads of two of them or boring the other o n e to death. This comes back to the problem of what to do with the bright student. Maybe in re trospect that process will come out," he said. When the play is over Fri day, Deveraux said that he will compile the daily logs of each of the persons involved in the play and "evaluate pro cesses, make conclusions and recommend improvements to myself." Deveraux, who is attending the University on a graduate assistantship in costuming, is in charge of research and design of costumes, and their construction at Howell Thea tre. Deveraux estimated that there are about 1,000 pieces in the costume shop of t h e Theatre on stock. Fire Department Sets Rules For Christmas With the coming of Christ mas parties and dormitory decorations, it is important that certain regulations be followed to insure maximum fire protection, according to the Office of Student Activi ties. These regulations apply to decorative material, exit doors, and use of exit ways. Decorative material is de fined as "all such material as curtains, draperies, stream ers, surface coverings applied over the building interior fin ish, and also cloth, cotton batting, straw, vines, trees, leaves and moss used for dec orative effect," according to the Lincoln Fire Prevention Code. It docs not Include floor coverings, ordinary window shades, nor materials one fortieth of an inch or less in thickness applied directly to and adhering tightly to a non combustible base. No decorative material may be used which, as ap plied, will ignite and allow flame to spread over the sur face when exposed to a match flame test applied to a piece of the material, according to the fire code. By Wayne Kreuscher Senior Staff Writer Student Senate passed a re solution Wednesday suggest ing that the University estab lish a "non-test and non-attendance check day" Jan. 3 in order to give students who drive to the Orange Bowl game in Miami a chance to get home safely. Sen. Andy Taube, who in troduced the motion, said that this non-test non-attendance resolution will now be taken to the proper officials in the Faculty Senate, the adminis tration and the Board of Re gents. No Penalty Taube explained that this resolution means basically that some sort of arrange ment should be made so that YD's Thanked By Callan or Help In The Young Democrats got a pat on the back last night as Rep. Clair Callan spoke be fore the group thanking them for their help in his 1964 elec tion campaign. Callan, a two- "On the average, there are about four girls who construct costumes for a play, he said MacDetn, ne said, "was one of the biggest with more than 50 costumes. It was more work because there were very few that we pulled from stock. Most of them had to be built." Concerning modern dress shows like "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," Deveraux said, "We don't :sually build men's modern dress. Ben Simon's usually gives us those articles." Looking ahead to next semester, Deveraux said that most of the costumes for "Mother Courage" would have to be built as they are not in stock. The costume shop also rents costumes to high school groups throughout the state, and to groups and individuals for costume parties and skits. Deveraux said that after completing the requirements for his Masters degree, he "will be looking for a direct ing job." He is especially hoping for a job in the Army not in the jungles, he admitted, but with the Army Special Serv ices working with dramatics recreation. For the test, the material should be taken to a safe place and held in a vertical position with the bottom edge exposed to a flame from a common match. The match should be held in a horizont al position, one half inch un derneath the material, and at a constant location for a min imum of 15 seconds. Treatments used to accom plish flameproofing of this type of decorative material should be renewed as often as may be necessary to main tain the effect, the fire code says. During the period of occu pancy, no exit door should be locked, bolted, or otherwise fastened or obstructed by any means, so that the door can not be opened from the in side by the use of the ordin ary door latch or by pressure on we door. No part of a stairway, whether interior or exterior, nor of a hallway, corridor, vestibule, balcony or bridge leading to a stairway or exit of any kind, should be used in any way that will obstruct its use as an exit or that will present a hazardous condition. Aid students won't be penalized by their instructors for support ing the Nebraska football team in Miami and for not getting home in one day for classes. He said that if school is to be held Jan. 3, two days af ter the game in Miami, then teachers should at least be requested not to take atten dance or give tests on that day since many students who drive to the game could not get home safely in one day. This non-test, non-attendance motion was passed af ter a great amount of discus sion in the Student Senate concerning the necessity of an extra day to return from Mi ami, and the possibility that many students not attending Campaign time loser before his election to the House of Representa tives, said, "It isn't easy for a Democrat in Nebraska and that's putting it mildly." Callan, who has just com pleted his freshman year in Congress, asked the Y ou n g Democrats to help him in his bid for re-election. Callan ' recounted for t h e i group some of his experiences and impressions as a fresh man Congressman. He said he thought the new members of Congress, "had a real break this year because the older members took it upon themselves to help us." He noted in particular the help Eriven to the new members through a series of introduc tory seminars presented by the senior members of Con gress. Callan said a new Congress man can find himself quite confused during his first days on the Hill noting, "The U.S. government has a system all its own and unless you know that system you are lost." The Congressman said, "A g o o d staff can make or break! you." Callan, a native of Odell, owns 16,000 acres in Gage County where he raises cat tle. He is a member of the Congressional Committee on Agriculture and said, "I'm there because I asked for it, it's important to my district." Callan said he spends "most of my time trying to explain farm legislation to congress men from urban areas, they don't understand it." A community study pro gram throughout Nebraska is one of Callan's current pro jects. He told his audience, "You'd be surprised at the number of communities in our state that don't have water systems or sewage systems. He said grants-in-aid are now helping to alleviate these problems. Callan's other comments: Vietnam "We've committed ourselves. I don't see how we can question very serious ly whether or not we should be in Southeast Asia." Foreign policy "I believe the administration of the for eign policy of this country must be left up to the Pres ident." Draft card burning "W hen you come to burning draft cards to me this is kind of kid stuff. You have an obli gation to back up your gov ernment and serve it well." State's potential "The five trillion gallons of underground water and the 5,000 miles of flowing streams in the state need to be exploited." Job Corps center "I think the possibilities are real good j because members of an ur that we'll have a Job Corps ban society are dependant center out here." In other action at the Young Democrats meeting, Thomas Booth, president, announced that the current membership of the organization is 116. He said the group made a profit of $53 from the sale of Ken nedy Memorial Medallions on No v.22 and 23. the game would take advan tage of such a day and also not attend. Faculty Objection Sen. Leon Orendor, faculty senate chairman, said that he had met with members of the Faculty Senate and that they had expressed strong objec tion to not having school Jan. 3. Orender pointed out that representatives of Faculty Senate had stressed that the University is an academic in stitution and that because of a tight class schedule before dead week and finals which begin respectively Jan. 11 and Jan. 18, there was no chance of having one more day add ed to the vacation. Cathy Shattuck, chairman of the executive senators com mittee, said she had spoken to Val Petersen, president of the Board of Regents, and he had expressed a favorable attitude toward having some sort of day Jan. 3 in which students who could not make it back from the game would not be (iw.aiked, but that school would still be held. In discussion before the mo tion was passed, Sen. Terry Schaaf noted that classes have been canceled on at least two occasions in the last two years and that one day this year which would encour age students to support the football team and to drive home safely from Miami is necessary. Day Important "Even if only 10 per cent of the students attend the Dr. Elbert Wallace Industrial Society Brings Dependency a, ' '. a . JHnnm i,m y 4 Elbert Wallace By Jan Itkin Junior Staff Writer It would take a man a life time to supply himself with the things he uses every day if he had to supply them him self, according to Dr. Elbert Wallace, professor of busi ness and economics. Wallace spoke at a section al meeting of the Association of College and University Ministers Wednesday on t h e effects of Industrialization on the American economy. Increased specialization has created an interdependency between the groups in society, Wallace said. This inter-dependency of the groups in a rich, highly industrialized na tion results in a lowering of an individual's ability to sus tain himself, he continued. Along with the rise of in dustrialization, Wallace said, there is a decline in the rela tive importance of agriculture resulting in an increase of "white collar" workers. To Brains "Emphasis has changed from brawn to brains" for suc cess in work, Wallace noted. The move to urban areas brought about by the decline of agricultural importance has resulted in the question of what to do about old age, on wages Wallace said. Wallace discussed the rise of unionization as a force with which industry must reckon. He spoke of technology and research as methods to boost the economy but accused the t auto industry of using reseach Dr game this extra day is im portant if it might save some one's life," Schaaf stressed. Sen. Curt Bromm asked if it would do any good for the Senate to suggest the extra day or some type of non-attendance resolution. "Will we be able to get anything done?" he asked. Sen. Kathy Weber suggest ed that the Senate go on re cord as supporting the Facul ty Senate's desire to have school Jan. 3 as planned, but that the Senate stress that no attendance or tests be taken or given on that day. Other senators suggested that perhaps students should be required to show some proof that they did attend the game before their attendance is excused on Jan. 3. Big Eight Meeting In other business at the meeting Sen. Pam Wood was elected to take Don Cruise's place as a representative at Big Eight Student Govern ment Association meeting in Columbia, Mo. this weekend. Senators Bob Samuelson and Bill Hansmire, ASUN Presi dent, Kent Neumeister and ASUN Vice President Larry Frolik will also attend. Hansmire, chairman of the government affairs commit tee, announced that Sen. Rich Thompson had been elected vice president of the Nebras ka Student Government Asso ciation at its meeting two weekends ago at Wayne State College. Hansmire and Cruise also represented the University at that meeting. to "force obsolescence on the American public" and cited changing designs of tail-fins on cars as an example of forced obsolescence. 'Too Valuable' "Brain power is too valu able to squander on such triv ialities," he maintained. Corporations are one way which businesses can try to cope with the increased risks of industrialization, Wal lace said. Increase in the size and power of business is another offshoot of corporations that Wallace mentioned. For in stance, he said, the entire national income could be pro duced by 30 companies the size of General Motors. One danger in large corpor ations, Wallace said, is t h e trend to become even larger and threaten competition. Be cause the trend has not ad vanced since the 1920's, he continued, the danger may not be too great. Generally, capitalism as it is known today, Wallace said, is different from the capital ism discussed by Adam Smith in the 18th century because of developments such as indus trialization, specialization, and the rise of unions and corporations. Dangers Arise Dangers arise in the pre sent form of capitalism, Wal lace noted, in that control of the economy is in the hands of the managers of corpora tions and not in the hands of the consumers. If the corpor ate managers are not respon sible, he continued, dificulties can arise. Wallace cited four possible courses of action for the fu ture: Society could continue with its present trend of relying on a corporate conscience. Society could adapt a public-utility concept by which government would own indus tries which were beyond a cer tain size. Society could turn to direct socialization. Or society could, In avoid ing socialization, turn towards a new form of fascism. The one approach that it will probably not take, Wal lace concluded, is a return to the old laissez-faire system. )
