What It's Like To Be
H
ormitory Counselors
ave Many Problems
By Julie Morris
Junior Staff Writer
A men's dormitory counsel
or has many problems, the
least of which include floor
pranks, locked rooms, paper
work and fires if the coun
selor is at Abel Hall.
Dennis Schulte, a junior in
agricultural engineering, is a
second year counselor on
Abel Hall's thirteenth floor.
He is one of two counselors
on the floor where 86 men
live, 65 per cent of them
freshmen.
As a counselor, Schulte acts
as a liason between the resi
dents of the floor and the
University housing authorities
and in an advisory capacity
to the men on the floor.
Schulte receives room and
board for his pay.
Job Requires Paperwork
A counselor's job, Schulte
noted, includes "quite a lot of
paperwork" in connec
tion with preparing floor
rocsters, reports and forms
for the housing authorities.
He said dorm counselors
work closely with the housing
office in passing on sugges
tions for improvement of
dorm living and management.
Hours spent on the job vary,
Schute said. "We could spend
24 hours a day on the job if
we wanted to."
Schulte's relationship with
the students constitutes t h e
major part of his responsibil
ities. He said counselors "try
not to be policemen" but to
assist the men in personal
problems and in direction.
One problem he is often
called upon to help with is
opening the door for a locked
out resident. He said this sit
uation often arises late at
night and added, "There are
times when a resident will
think he is locked out and
not be, ihen you just have to
grin and bear it."

begin to come to us with
their problems," he said. "I
like to think that I know most
of the men on the floor."
Stuffing Unifies Floor
Early in the semester, the
residents of the thirteenth
floor stuffed Schulte's room
with paper. Schulte said the
door was almost impossible to
get open. He said he reacted
good-naturedly, and the prank
"tended to unify the floor in
a lot of ways."
Schulte said he thought
"the reaction of the residents
was good" during the recent
problems with fires and flase
alarms at the hall. "I think
just because of the actions of
a few residents Abel Hall was
given a bad image," he said.
"The problems are serious
but you don't get to hear any
thing good about the hall so
the problems appear worse
than they are," he said. "I
think the spirit is there; we
just need something to center
it on."
Schulte noted, "A lot of the
frustrations of being a dorm
counselor is offset when you
see one of the residents do
well in something you've
helped him."
He said he had such an ex
perience when he saw a stu
dent he had counseled last
year, who was thinking of
quiting school, returned to
college this fall.

Student Attends Conference
On United States Affairs
By Julie Morris
Junior Staff Writer
A person to person "help"
program designed to prepare
capable high school students
for college has been instituted
at the University.
The program, known as a
Potentiality Development Pro
ject (PDP), is set up so that
16 high school students from
the Lincoln area have per
sonal contact with a successful
college student.
They participate in social
and cultural activities with the
college student with the goal
of providing a favorable
orientation toward college.
The project is under the
direction of Dr. Donald Clifton
of the educational psychology
department. Clifton conceived
the idea of the project along
with Dr. William Hall of the
same department last Feb
ruary and the two began draft
ing the plan and asking stu
dents to help.
Clifton now acts as adviser
for the project while the direc
tive board consists of graduate
students in the educational
psychology department. The
student counselors come from
all areas of the University, ac
cording to Kenton Hill, a mem
ber of t h e directing board.
They are paid through the
federal work-study program.
The students began to imple
ment the project last June
and potential participants
were contacted throughout the
summer. The program itself
started in the fall.
Hill explained the basic re
quirements for selection to the
project. The students must
come from "non-college orien
ted" families, have good
scholastic records and a finan
cial need.
Hill said of the students,
"The fact that they're not col
lege oriented is a fairly good
indication that they wouldn't
go on to college on their own."
"Our ultimate goal is to
hope they'll go through four
tt dw BB pff
years of college, but even if
they only go for one year we'll
have accomplished some
thing," he said.
The program is "a positive
approach rather than a nega
tive one," Hill said. He noted
that "most psychological
study in the past has been
directed on to finding out
what's wrong with people"
and added that PDP is desig
ned to help find out what's
good about people.
The eight boys and eight
girls participating in the pro
gram are sophomores.
If the project is successful
this year, another 16 high
school students w i 1 1 be selec
ted to participate next year.
Hill emphasized, however,
that this year's program is
pilot project.
Trophy Stealing
Discussed At IFC
Dianne Michel, Panhellenic
president, spoke to members
of the Interfraternity Council
Wednesday night about tro
phy stealing between Greek
houses. " ""
"If you feel that It has to
continue," Miss Michel said,
"at least call the house and
tell them so they can get it
back."
She noted that pictures of
presidents, charters and in
one case an entire trophy case
have been taken, without any
way of telling when it was
stolen and who has it.
IFC President Buzz Madsen
said he hoped the IFC would
"adopt Miss Michel's sugges
tions." Jay Lefko, a Sigma Alpha
Mu junior, was elected trea
surer of IFC.

A candid review by Gener
al Maxwell Taylor of Ameri
ca's presence in Viet Nam
was the highlight of a con
ference attended by Univer
sity graduate student Robert
Weaver.
Weaver attended "the S t u -dent
Conference on United
States Affairs (SCUSA) at
West Point Military Academy
in New York last week.
According to Weaver, Tay
lor said that since 1961 "the
United States has become in
creasingly involved to the
point that it is now an Ameri
can war, rather than a South
Vietnamese war."
"He also said that in the in
volvement of North Viet Nam
could be found signsDf a
Communist split because it
appeared that the Soviet Un
ion wants to end the war as
soon as possible," Weaver
related.

Topic: The Rhodesian Question.
areas: the North Atlantic,
USSR and Eastern Europe,
China and Southeast Asia,
South Asia, Africa South of
the Sahara, and Latin Ameri
ca. On the last day of the
conference each group p r e -sented
its policy recommen
dations. The Latin American group,
of which Weaver was a mem
ber, suggested that there be
greater cooperation between
countries with more resources
being .put into the Alliance
for Progress, and that there
develop a greater political
consensus in the hemisphere
in deciding hemispheric prob
lems. The African groups sug
gestion recommended foreign
aid to. Africa be on more al
truistic lines.
The conference also sug
gested the removal of embar
gos on non-strategic products
to Red China and eventual
recognition of that country.
According to Weaver, the
main reason for the recom
mendation was that Red Chi
na is a huge nearly untapped,
market.
Greater trade with Eastern
Europe and Russia was also
suggested.
Dr. Leo Cherne, in a speech
which Weaver described as
"significant," tied the Viet
Nam situation to the Euro
pean scene. He also stated
that the greatest problem
with U.S. foreign relations
lies in the competition with
the Soviet Union in places oth
er than Europe.
Problems Studied
The purpose of SCUSA is
to enable college students to
study these situations with
one another and make recom
mendations in order to ac
quire both a greater knowl
edge and understanding of the
problems facing the United
States, and an appreciation of
the complexities of govern
ment policy formulation.
The conference is held un
der the auspices of the Cadet
Debate Council and Forum.
Each year it emphasizes a
different aspect of national
security policy.
Weaver, selected through
the political science depart
ment, said that the confer
ence was open to interested
seniors.
Through personal contact
with other students attending
the conference Weaver noted
that most had an all-expense
paid trip to the event, pro
vided by their universities.
Weaver traveled on his own
funds, receiving some aid
from West Point.
Professor Willard Hogan of
the University political s c i -ence
department said "I wish
there were some way to help.
When students represent the
University at a conference in
connection with the curricu
lum, they ought to be hetoed
on the financial end."
On the other hand, he noted j fleer's guides for their service
