Vocalists To Perform 'Messiah1 "This work, above all oth ers, is the one that everyone seems to like best," said Earl Jenkins, professor of voice, referring to Handel's "Mes siah." The "Messiah", to be pre sented by the University Chor al Union of 700 voices Sunday, is only one of 32 oratorios written by Handel.

YR's Join In Project To Supply Vietnamese A nation-wide project known as America's Christmas Train and Trucks (ACTT) aiming to send a ship load of Christmas parcels to the people of Viet Nam, was introduced to t h e Young Republicans last night. John Haerner, president of the Lancaster County Young Republicans came before the group to explain the project and to invite the club to parti cipate. ACTT is sponsored by the national Young Republicans, the national Young Democrats and the U.S. Jaycees. The ob ject of the project is to col lect 100 trainloads of used, but usable and new goods to be sent to Viet Nam on a ship that will sail Christmas day from San Francisco. The goods will be distri buted to the Vietnamese vil lagers by American service men. The sponsors are asking for children's clothing, soap, toothbrushes, tooth paste, washrags, pencils, crayons, tools, needles, but tons, thread, yardage, food stuffs and other useful small items that will help the people. Haerner said, "The people of Viet Nam need just about anything you can think of."

Senate Presented With Plan For European Student Flight A plan for a low-cost stu dent chartered flight to Eur ope this summer was pre sented to the Student Senate Wednesday with the sugges tion that ASUN act as official sponsors of the flight. The motion was tabled at the meeting, but the sponsor, Dave Fairbanks, said ASUN President Kent Neumeister "indicated that they would probably deal with it at t h e next meeting." Fairbanks said he has a plan through worked out which a University student, faculty member, staff mem ber or members of their im mediate families could travel round trip to Europe next summer for approximately $275 .The normal cost for the same flight at tourist rates is $399. A DC7C four engine propel ler airliner is being held in reserve for possible charter ing by ASUN. The proposed flight would leave New York for London on June 11, and return to New York from Lon don on August 18. Fairbanks said- each passenger "would be responsible for his own time in Europe." The plane seats 102 passen gers. The airline carries $75, 000 insurance on each seat. Additional insurance could be obtained at a nominal cost. The arrangements for the necessities of life, who need help badly. "We have to act fast so that the ship can sail by Christmas." He said, 'if you can get anything together, it will help." Letters explaining ACTT were sent to the living units on campus Haerner said. "We hope to have a boxcar full of goods by Sunday night," he said. Contributions for the drive can be taken to the Star Van and Storage Com pany at 645 L St., Haerner an nounced. Omaha businessman John Everroad also spoke to t h e group. Everroad discussed the state and its government com menting, "I think Nebraska needs help. I think that they need a businessman or a num ber of businessmen in Lin coln." Everroad, who was an un successful candidate for lieu tenant governor in 1964, said of the upcoming campaigns, "I really would like to run, I don't know what for." He said he thinks the Republican par ty in Nebraska is split and that it needs to unify and win the governorship in 1966. "The Republican Party, as far as a businessman is con cerned is pretty hard to get on the inside of," he said. "The Republican Party does not want me because I might not say yes." Everroad, an adopted Ne braskan, said that the state has undeveloped potential and that "it doesn't do a bit of good to parade around tne city of Dallas and promote the city of Omaha." He said, "There is no rea son for you to graduate from the University of Nebraska and move to Phoenix, Arizona for a position that should be provided right here." "It's way past time when business men do something to provide a future for this state," Overroad expounded. He said businessmen must "assume their responsibility of providing jobs for young people." ?---v i ; ... uses map future flight are being handled by a Lincoln Travel Agency. If all the seats on the flight were not filled by March 20, the charter would be can- celed "without any financial loss," Fairbanks said. Fairbanks, a junior, said he conceived the idea of a char tered flight because he is planning a summer European trip and "was looking around for a cheap way." He was assisted in planning by Rev. Bruce McSpadden associate director of the campus Wes ley Foundation. Fairbanks said he had pre sented his plan to several stu dents and had met with en thusiasm. He said two stu dents expressed definite de sire to make the flight. Fairbanks is o p t i m i s -tic about ASUN acceptance of the sponsorship for the plan. He said he hopes acceptance will come next week so that students would be able to be gin making plans for the trip over the vacation period. Council Elects Hardin Nebraska Chairman Chancellor Clifford Hardin has been elected chairman of the Nebraska Council on Eco nomic Education. Vice chairman of the coun cil is Thomas Creigh Jr. of the Kansas-Nebraska Natural Gas Co. at Hastings. At its annual meeting the council's board of trustees approved a 10-month budget extension through June 30, 1966, for $32,650 and endorsed an adidtional $13,000 for a summer seminar in 19b6 tor school teachers at the Uni- versity. to show Administration Campus police do not de cide when, where or how to issue tickets, according to Capt. Eugene Masters of the University Police De partment. "A committee composed of Dean Ross, Carl Donald son and Dean Breckenridge make the regulations which govern us," Capt. Masters said. Vice Chancellor G. Robert Ross is dean of student af fairs, Vice Chancellor A. C. Breckenridge is dean of faculties and Donaldson is business manager of the University. Yearly Regulation Review University parking regu lations are reviewed each year by this committee, Capt. Masters said, and re visions are made. The University police of ficers are commissioned by the Lincoln Police Depart ment, but derive their au thority from the University. Some of the changes in troduced in parking regula tions this year include the 24-hour reservation for fac ulty only of the east parking lot In front of Love Memori al Library. "Last year the lot, de signated Area F, would fill early with non-faculty cars, and when the night school teachers would arrive there were no places left," Capt. Masters said. Ater 3 p.m., he said, any one with a permit can use any area except Area F, and after 4:30 p.m. persons without parking permits have also free access to University A picture of University ex pansion and building with all its problems and complica tions between now and the early 1970's was explained by A. C. Breckenridge, vice chancellor and dean of facul ties, Thursday night. Breckenridge, who was speaking in the Nebraska Un ion to a group of student sen 'Student Must Be "Avenues must be found for making student concerns known and for establishing some procedure whereby these concerns will be considered." This is one of the most im portant problems facing the University at this time accord ing to Dr. William Pharis, ASUN faculty adviser, who will represent the Universi ty's student government at Faculty Senate Tuesday. Pharis noted that for the first time "since I've been here we have a responsible student agency" and he pointed out that this group (ASUN) must be heard and respected by the faculty, the administration and whoever else makes University policy. Students Have Rights "Someone must eventually realize that students have some rights around here," he said. Tuesday Pilaris will be pre senting the students' sugges tion for a "non-test, non-attendance check day" Jan. 3 to the Faculty Senate. Student Senate, as representative of all the students in the Uni versity, has continuously pointed out that it feels this proposal is important because it will keep students from rushing home in a day's time from the Orange Bowl game in Miami in order to make it back to scchool. Dr. Pharis explained Wednesday at Student Senate that this proposal can only be made as a recommendation to Faculty Senate because the faculty can't rule on issues un less they are on the agenda two weeks in advance or brought up at a preceding meeting. Thursday afternoon Pharis noted that although Faculty Senate cant make any definite ruling on the students 'motion, it can recommend University parking facili ties, excepting Area F. Regulations covering red lined curbs, service drives and other areas are en forced 24 hours a day, Capt. Masters said. The meter lots are patrolled from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Another new rule this year is a $5 fine for parking on University property with out a permit. "Last year there was a certain number of cars parking without permits," Capt. Masters said. "They thought they could park on campus for less than the cost of a permit because the fine was only $1. Also, when the car wasn't regis tered in a student's name or was registered in another state, we had to track down the driver of the car." Students who receive a $5 ticket may buy a $5 park ing permit in place of pay ing for the ticket, Capt. Masters said. Printed on all tickets is a note that tells visitors to the campus to mail the tick et to the police office with out paying the fine. Another change in this year's regulation is the is suing of motor scooter permits. "Last year scooter own ers bought a regular $5 per mit and transferred it to their cars when cold weath er set in," Capt. Masters said. "This year there is an increase in the number of scooters, so $1 non-transfer-rable permit for scooters is issued. Students must buy a ators at a roundtable discus sion, spoke on everything from what buildings will be built in the next few years to why conference rooms where students can "drop-in" are not economically feasible. He also explained the prob able future of Greek houses along R Street and at other locations. Concerns Known' that all faculty consider the students' problem and be tol erant of any students who might not make it back to classes in time for school from the Orange Bowl game. He emphasized that the pro posal he will be introducing trom the students will be a i request that the Faculty Sen ate inform the University faculty members of the stu dents' proposal and ask all faculty members to consider t h e students' problems in getting home from the game. He said that as he sees it, Faculty Senate has three choices Tuesday in consider ing the students' proposal. On one hand the faculty can show no sympathy for the stu dents in even recognizing the Orange Bowl game as a legi timate University function. Or he said the faculty can have deep sympathy with the hard ships of the students, but feel that their motion is not a sound way to solve the prob lem. Faculty Can Agree The last alternative that Pharis pointed out is that the faculty members can agree with the students' proposal and vote for the recommenda tion. Pharis noted that this is on ly the first of many proposals which Student Senate will continue to present officially to Faculty Senate for action. He did emphasize that stu dent government "can't clut ter up the Faculty Senate with a lot of meaningless motions, but that the students must continue to suggest sound and ; significant issues. Pharis inferred that one of the students' greatest prob lems in being heard by Facul ty Senate will be the inherent "jealousies of the faculty in guarding their age old acad emic prerogatives." Controls Police separate $5 permit for their car." Fine Money Use The money raised by the fines and permits goes into improving and leasing land for parking lots, the salaries of the two office girls and the supplies used by the of fice, Capt. Masters said. "Improving parking lots includes graveling, clearing new land and tearing down the houses which we did this year, putting logs into the lots to provide spacing and the paving of parking areas," Capt. Masters said. Area 2 and the student lot northwest of the stadium are leased from the rail mm y UNIVERSITY POLICEMAN owner looks on sadly. Sxpainisi He pointed out that the University is trying to pre pare itself for an enrollment of 25.000 students by the ear ly 1970's and how space and money are great problems in this planning. Plans now establish the University's boundaries be tween the main Burlington Railroad on the west, Q Street on the south and Interstate 80 on the east according to Breckenridge. He said that by 1971 most of this area will be used for University facilities or those related to the University. The University already owns most of the land within this area or it is being used for University related activities, he noted. "The rest of the land will be purchased by the Univer sity by the right of eminent domain", he said. "A shortage of land and room is our main problem," he stressed. He illustrated how the University continu ally has to worry about park ing spaces and intramural areas. Plans illustrated by Breck enridge for future building in cluded such things as the dorm complex and possible Greek complex which will be built in the next couple of years north and northeast of Nebraska Hall. Other new buildings already definitely planned include the new thirteen story facul ty office-classroom building to be built between Bessey and Burnett Halls beginning this spring. He also illustrat ed the plans for a new sci ence complex especially for chemistry on the west side of the campus and a women's physical education building with a swimming pool on the field behind University High School. Nominations Open For 'Outstanding' Once again the Daily Ne braskan is sponsoring the Out standing Nebraskan award presented twice a year to a student and faculty member nominated for his interest, and concern in the University. Nominations can be made roads by the University. The land is also cleared and improved by the University. "This summer we cleared the middle section of Area 2. which was newly leased from Rock Island R a i 1 road," Capt. Masters said. "It cost $5,000 just to clear the land, and then we had to put rocks on it and logs." The University is now placing gravel on the land recently acquired for stu dent parking south of Ne braska Hall. An addition to Area 2 was completed this year north of Nebraska Hall to take care of the increase from Abel Hall, Capt. Mas ters said. tickets a car that 'l fit . i W .Aww- I 1 yfiioes Oil Breckenridge's talk included details on extensive renova tion and modernization in al most all the classrooms and buildings on campus. He noted how buildings like University High School will be changed and adapted for University classrooms and how o 1 d houses and buildings not con nected with the University will be removed within the cam puses' boundaries. Plans for streets, under ground pipes and wires and access to the campus were all pointed out by Breckenridge as problems that the Univer sity would have to work on, change and renew in the next ten years or so. Specific comments made by Breckenridge included such subjects as the Senate's pro posed "conference room s" and Greek housing. He said that although "con ference rooms" where stu dents could just "drop-in" and talk with a professor after class are a great Idea ; that for at least the present time were not economically feasi ble. He pointed out that the school right now just couldn't afford the space and that in the future it couldn't afford the money to include these rooms in its new buildings. As for Greek housing especially along R Street, Breckenride noted that some houses no doubt would want to move from their present lo cation because of moderniza tion or expansion problems. He suggested that these houses which were not new or which needed bad improve ments might want to partici pate in the Greek complex or build on another spot. Breckenridge did stress that at least for the present time this move would be complete ly up to the individual houses depending on their desires for more space or new buildings. by anyone. They should be sent to the Daily Nebraskan office, 51 Nebraska Union no later than Jan. 5. The nominations will appear in the next week's editions of the Nebraskan.
