INTERN ATION AL STUDENT . . . Of the Month, Asad

International Student Says . . .
'Contact Essential

By Steve Jordon
One of the largest blunders
that foreign people make, ac
cording to November's Inter
national Student of the Month,
is to group together and not
try to make sufficient contact
with other people.

Khan came to the United
States on a six-month Full
bright Scholarship sponsored
by the Department of State
and decided to stay in Ne
braska to study.
"During my siv-weck stay
at York. Xehr., I decided to
go to the University of Ne
braska," he said. "It had the
smallest amount of fees, but
more important. I had friends
close to Lincoln."
He had gained admission to
John Hopkins and Columbia
universities in New York, but
"there I knew nobody," he
said.
"It makes a great differ

help I can call on someone."
Khan said. "I have several
families who will do almost
anything for me I ask them."

has been visiting American
families in New York, New

Student Flight Plan
Rejected By Senate
By Wayne Kreuscher
Senior Staff Writer
Student Senate voted
Wednesday against a plan for
low-cost student chartered
flights to Europe this sum
mer. Dave Fairbanks, a Univer
sity junior, presented the plan
to Student Senate last week
and he asked the Senate to
sponsor, the flights. Senate
tabled the motion until yes
terday's meeting.
In discussion on the Senate
floor various senators ques
tioned the plan's details and
the Senate's responsibility in

publicity and financial back
ing for the flights which would
have begun this summer.
Sen. Cuz Guenzel said that
the plan's details did not make
it clear who exactly would be
paying for publicity and other
parts of the trip. She ex
plained that if ASUN is to
merely give its name to the
plan "fine." But if Senate has
to take an active part in
planning the flights "this is
not a proper function of stu
dent government."
Sen. Terry Schaaf also said
he thought the Senate's con
nection with the plan is un
clear and that the plan would
possibly take up more time
and cost the Senate more

Voss noted that the ASUN
is the only University group
large enough to sponsor the
flight plan because anyone
who might take part in t h e
flights would have to be a
member of the sponsor organi
zation. "Technically all Uni
versity students are members
of ASUN," Voss explained.
Sen. Liz Aitken also spoke
in favor of the European flight
plan and pointed out that
many schools smaller than the
University have such plans
for students.
The plan would have pro

Europe for University stu

International Students Find
Serious Housing Problem
By Julie Morris
Junior Staff Writer
The foreign student at the
University has a pronounced
housing problem, according to
M. Edward Byran, housing
director.
Byran. who spoke at a
meeting of the People to Peo
ple Committee yesterday, said
foreign students are generally
not able to secure on-campus
housing because their accept
ance to the University norm
ally comes after all dorm
space has been filled.

RAM Council Selects
first Contest Winners
Winners have been announced in the first annual
Selleck Christmas window decorating contest. They are
Susan Moseman and Gayle Malmquist, first place; Bon
nie Hay and Barb Veulek, second place; and Trish
Thompson, third place.
Prizes of $15, $10 and $5 will be awarded to the win
ners after vacation, according to Ted Suhr, RAM activ
ities director.
"We certainly appreciate all the displays." Suhr
said. "There were 47 entries from the 120 windows show
ing some type of decorations."
The entries were judged Tuesday afternoon and Tues
day night to make sure that the winning windows were
outstanding night and day, Suhr said.
"The entries were judged on originality, appeal, ap
propriateness and workmanship," he said. "Some entries
showed up well during the day but not at night, while
some looked good at night but not during the day."
Only six of the entries were from boys, who were
handicapped by the design of their windows, according to
Suhr. The windows in the men's buildings of the dorm
are divided into small squares, unlike the large picture
windows in the girls' rooms.
The contest was sponsored by RAM Council.
Disss
By Beth Robbins
Junior Staff Writer
To show their dissatisfaction with present AWS rules,
a group of University coeds is planning to sit in on the
AWS House of Representatives meeting this afternoon at
4:30 p.m.
The girls will "go over there en masse," according
to Georgia Hiner "to be there, show that we are inter
ested, and that there is dissension."
To Offer Suggestions
Although most of the girls will illustrate their opinion
merely by their presence, Miss Hiner said that several
will offer suggestions for rule changes. "We're not going
merely to criticize," she said.
AWS has been collecting data comparing women's
rules on surrounding campuses, and has said that the
regulations are quite comparable to those at Nebraska.
But. Miss Hiner said, most transfer students say Ne
braska rules are more confining.
"We want to ask for an analysis of what they (AWS)
have been receiving in this study," Miss Hiner said. The
suggested rule changes are a combination taken from
change," she added.
ties, high cost and irregular
ities of diet. He said a strange
diet could greatly hamper a
foreign student who is at
tempting to adjust to a
strange country.
Supply is not a problem in
foreign student's housing,
By ran said, noting that there
are 4.651 students living off
campus in apartments.

plan would make it possible
for foreign students to be as
sured of dorm space no
matter how late their regis
trations were accepted.
The plan, however, has
been opposed on the grounds
that it would take space away
from Nebraskans who wanted
to attend the University.
Byran noted that it is
alreadv difficult for out state
students to get into the
University and said, "If peo
ple can't see the value of
intermixing state to state, I
can't see much hope of inter
mixing country to country."
Several members of People
to People presented possible
; solutions to the problem which
ranged from setting aside a
section of Selleck for foreign
student housing to sending a
a list of available housing to
students along with their ac
ceptance. But Byran
suggested that none of the

looking for housing.
He said a number of foreign
students will be arriving to be
gin the second semester and
that the committee will be
contacting them on a personal
basis and offering their help
in finding suitable housing.

Nativity scency respectively.
Suggestions to be proposed at today's AWS meeting
include: hours for freshmen, 10:30 p.m. first semester, 11
p.m. second semester; sophomores and juniors under
twenty-one, 12 p.m.; seniors and all those over twenty
one, no hours with a key system.
To Propose 2 a.m. Closing
The group will propose 2 a.m. as the closing hour on
week ends, with present 2 a.m. nights extended until 3 a.m.
Sunday closing hours would be 12:30 p.m. "due to the
difficulty some girls have getting back to the dorm on
time due to bus schedules and the like." Weekday visit
ing hours would be changed to extend from noon until
11 p.m .
"Of what we know, our demerit system is one of the
strictest," Miss Hiner said. Under the proposed system, a.
campus would come after 15 demerits, with one demerit
given for the first five late minutes, and three for each
ten minutes following.
Girls would receive one demerit for not signing in
and one for not signing out. "The purpose of signing in
and out has been lost," Miss Hiner said. She felt it should
become a convenience to the girl who wants to let friends
know where she will be rather than a necessity.
Proposed rule changes for campuses of girls include
giving them free run of the dorm, except the lounge area.
This would include use of the phone.
"There is no reason to place the girl in the corner
like a little child," Miss Hiner said. "After the tension of
a week of classes, it's psychologically hard on her."
To Lower Hostess Age
The age for a hostess for an overnight would be
lowered from 25 to 21, and the rule forbidding girls from
going to apartments without adults "thrown out complete
ly." "It is constantly being broken as if it doesn't exist,"
Miss Hiner said.
"The whole point is," she said, "everybody is break
ing the rules now and cheating and lying about it." Why
not change the rules to something that will be obeyed,
she asked.
Suggestions for rule changes have come from many
people, Miss Hiner said, but the list to be presented today
was compiled mainly by herself and Polly Rhynalds.
"There is no point in dragging this out," Miss Hiner
said. Those advocating the changes expect action within
a month. Similar dissatisfaction among students at the
University of Wyoming brought new rules in one week,
she said. Women's clothing rules were changed last year
after six to eight weeks of discussion. Miss Hiner said
"This is "ridiculous."
"This is not a personal gripe." she added. "I have
never been in trouble with the AWS or been campused
while I've been in college."
