Lines, Cancellations Plague By Bruce Giles Senior Staff Writer Despite long lines and can celled registrations. Univer sity officials say this year's registration problems are no worse than in other years. But they do admit that cer tain problems exist. "More than 90 per cent of the students got their regis trations in exactly as asked . . . and that I consider very remarkable," Registrar Floyd Hoover said. He said that the registrar's office was forced to cancel any registrations that were turned in after 5 p.m., Jan. 21, as was stated in the letter accompanying the registra tion. "Actually all registration problems boil down to the fact that tiemand just exceeds supply," Hoover said. The campus mail was criticized by many students for not getting their registra tions Into the registrar's of fice on time, but Hoover dis credited this complaint. "I am convinced, after visiting with those in charge of campus mail, that a con scientious effort was made by mailmen to search even 10 feet around the mailboxes for Senate Proposal Mi Revise European Flight The Student Senate Euro pean flight committee is to present a revised plan for a cut-rate student fbght to Europe this summer to the Senate for approval Wednes day, according to ASUN Vice President Larry Frolik. The Senate origninally ac cepted sponsorship of a round trip chartered flight from New York to London that would allow a student to save between $250 and $300. The flight would be available to students, faculty and staff members and their immedi ate families. In a committee meeting Tuesday, however, chairman Carolyn Freeman indicated Regents Accept Plans For Campus Expansion Campus expansion plans keynoted the Board of Re gents meeting last week as the R e g e n t s approved the purchase of new land and the offering for sale of bonds to be used for expansion and construction revenues. The Regents authorized the purchase of two tracts of land on the northeast edge of the city campus for $525,000. The land is on the corner of 17th and Y its. and the purchase price includes any buildings or improvements on the site. The Board also approved the offering for sale of about $13 million in revenue bonds for construction of a new four-bullding dormitory com plex to 'be located northwest of Nebraska1 Hall. The com plex is expected to house about 1.4(H) students. It will Include a separate food serv ice building, a swimming pool and suites with two bed rooms, bath and a living room. Registration registrations, but not between the mail box and the wall where one registration showed up." Hoover said. He pointed out that the campus mailmen drd find the letter behind the box and that this is an example of just "how far they went to ac commodate students." Hoover said that they tried to solve the problem of supply and demand this year with pre-registration. However, he said, the de partment heads were not able to supply the number of open ings pre-registration called for in many courses because of a lack of furrds, or the in ability to find space for the class or a teacher for the class. He noted that the first morning of free drop and add, students had trouble obtain ing courses, out this was be cause students had not yet dropped courses they did not want. He said he did not foresee any serious problems, as stu dents could pick up classes which other students had dropped. "It will be necessary to do a great deal of juggling to make the programs fit that the committee plans to ask Senate that substantial changes be made in the orig inal plan. The exact nature of the changes proposed has not been made public, but the commit tee suggested that accommo dations at a bloc rate may be more economically feasible than the actual chartering of a plane. The European flight plan was originally developed by Dave Fairbanks and was in troduced by Sen. Dave Sny der. The proposal was at first tabled by the Senate, then de feated and later resurrected and passed. Occupancy date for the dormitory complex is the fall of 17, according to Edward Bryan, housing director. Union expansion plans are still in the formative stages, but a possible occupancy date of new facilities has been set as fall 1968. Possibilities for expansion include addition of new floors and an addition on the north side or construction of anoth er separate building. The revenue bonds might also be used to finance con struction of new Greek houses at the site of the dormitory complex. These buildings would be leased to the groups that used them. The Board hopes to take competitive bids on the rev enue bonds in mid-March. In other action, the Regents approved the offering of a new degree, that of bachelor of science in construction sci reasonably." he said. Regarding t h e problems with the registrations that were sent to students. Hoover said. "As far as my office could, we used the alternate courses that the students sug gested." "Mrs, Laase and her staff, including 15 part-time people, worked every night for two weeks, all Saturdays and most Sundays pulling cards lor stu dents. Christmas vacation was merely a time on the calendar, but they did take off ali day Christmas and New Year's." he said. He pointed out that Mrs. Laase and her staff pulled the cards for the students and that computers were not in volved in that part of the operation. Proposed" Draft Guidelines Based On Academic Level By Bruce (Hies Senior Staff Writer Joe College may soon find his Uncle Sam more than just casually concerned about his progress at school. In fact. Joe may find himself pulled out of school if his grades do not measure up. Both college grades and test grades will probably be an important method of deter mining if Joe is to stay in college, if guidelines arc set up similar to those used dur ing the Korean conflict, ac cording to Col. Francis Drath, of the Nebraska Selective Service. "Sometime in the near future, guidelines will be es tablished regarding the draft ing of college students," Col. Drath said. "And Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey (national draft director) has indicated that they will be along the lines of those during the Korean episode." However, he said the guide lines have to be drawn up and would then have to be approved by President John son. ences to be obtained through the school of architecture. The Board also changed the name of the department of Germanic languages to the department of Germanic and Slavic languages. Dr. Donald Allison, acting chairman of the department, said the new title better iden tifies the course offerings of the department which include German, Russian. Icelandic, Swedish and Czech. Allison said it will soon be possible for a student to major in Russian and that students can now take three years of courses in Czech. The Regents named Dr, Herbert F. Schliesser the new director of the University Speech and Hearing Labora tory. Schliesser holds B.S. and M.A. degrees from the Uni versity and has been on the staff as assistant professor of speech and audiology since 14. . Keys By Jan ltkin Senior Staff Writer A definite decision on a senior key system will be decided within a month, ac cording to a .schedule for February w h i c h was an nounced at the AW'S Board meeting Tuesday. Yicki Howling. itc presi dent of AWS. announced that on Feb. 22 a motion would be introduced and discussed re garding a senior key system and a vote would be taken at the March 1 meeting. If the motion is passed, she said, the new sjstem would go into effect in September. At meetings prior to the senior key decision the re sults of various polls an-d questionnaires regarding the question of senior keys will be discussed. Di Kosman. AWS vice president, reported that within the nexi couple weeks, questionnaires would be circulated to junior and senior women regarding a key system and the results would be discussed on Feb. 22. Next Tuesday, Miss Howl ing will present the results of the questionnaires that were sent to the parents ot ao proximately ten per cent of University women asking their opinions of women's hours and key systems. Tuesday, the first of such reports was given Of six schools in the Midwest who Col. Drath said two sys tems were used to defer stu dents during the Korean con flict. One was by university class ranking and the other was based on scores received on a uniform Selective Ser vice test. To be ineligible for the draft, freshmen had to rank in the upper half of their class, sophomores had to rank in the upper two-thirds of their class and juniors had to rank in the upper three fourths of their class. ' On the Selective Service test, student.-, were deferred if they received a score of 70 or above. Graduate students were required to have at least an 80 on the test to be deferred. Col. Drath said the tests had been started with the in ception of the Selective Ser vice Act in 1948 and had been given once or twice a year until 1958. The test was con ducted by an independent testing agency. He said tests similar to col lege qualification tests would probably be given later this spring for m;!l" students, ;md that it would be wise for stu dents to take the test at that time. Col. Drath said if these methods were used to deter mine which stu'dents were lo be deterred, it would still be up to the local boards to de termine which method they use or if they used both. Draft calls for January and February in Nebraska have been amine! 260 and 270, Drath said. "I suspect that it may go on at that level for some time, however," he said. In an interview with Se lective Service officials, the Jan. 24th issue of U.S. News & World Report quoted Lt. Gen. Hershey as saying that calls of 80.000 a month are likely if the Viet Nam war expands. Editor's Note: Grade standings and hours being handled through the Univer sity and information concern ing the special deferment given ROTC students arc ex plained on PAGE FOUR. PAGE FOUR also Includes an interview with Dr. Robert Sakai about the war in Viet Nam and various campus opinions concerning President Johnson's Vict Nam policies. Expected Soon responded to questionnaires concerning their senior key systems, the following con clusions were reached: Four schools allowed keys to all women over 21. Four schools allowed keys to all women with senior standing. One school gave keys to women with at least junior standing and one school's re quirement was that a woman must be at least three years out of high school. No school restricted keys to only sen iors who were over 21. One school required a C average for women under 21 and the others reported grade average was not taken into account. Parental permission was required by three schools for women under 21 and by two schools for all participants. The other school required no permission of any kind. The attitude gf housemoth ers around the Midwest was reported favorable and dif ficulties were reported as minor and dealing in the realm of administering t h e svstem rather than in abuses of it. AWS also unanimously passed a new constitution and by-laws which will be referred to the ASUN activities com mittee for approval. Miss Dowling explained the changes that were made in the constitution as ''mostly editing to have it correspond The officials noted that a large share of present draftees wind up as combat infantry or artillery troops, with voluntary enlistees get ting their choice of jobs. The article states that a draftee now has about a 50-50 chance of going overseas, but noted that actually there is a better chance that they would be sent to Europe rather than Viet Nam. The Army figures that the odds against any one draftee's going to Viet Nam is about 9 to 1 right now. Draftees receive the same salary as any other soldier $94 a month, with a raise to S98 in four months. This is in addition to meals, quar ters, clothing, medical care, allowances for dependents and special pay for hazardous duty. 'J i mm 5 -f t Iff "11 " 5 fcaipiir-Ttfr'i-1Ttriftir-J Id "A dream for the future wben colleges like these can become reality" is the way Joe Colgan, an architectural student, describes this display of a liberal arts college which is now in the Nebraska Union, west of the Pan American Room. The display, which includes five models for an "ideal" liberal arts college, is the culmination of a semester's project in Professor James Porter's fifth year architec turn! class Colgran, who participated in making the model, pointed out that five different teams, of three students each, were assigned the theoretical problem of designing th buildings for the college. The sight of the college was chosen to be in the Bluffs, east ol the Platte River, near Interstate 80. with the standard form" and changing the make-up of the AWS Board. "Before the Board con sisted of 21 members strictly representing their class." she explained. "We're expanding the Board to 25 members and it will be composed now of dual representation six women from each class and seven representatives from four different living areas." Under the new system of representation, three women will represent dorms on city campus, two women will rep resent sorority houses and there will be one represent ative from East Campus and another for Lincoln students. Miss Dowling explained that the new system should encourage more people to go through AWS interviews when they may chose whether they wish to run from their class or their living unit. Other changes in the con stitution converted the grade requirement to a 2.3 on the four-point scale, provided for a system of succession and of removing an elected officer before her term was finished. Miss Dowling introduced a Evaluation Book Set For Approval By Jan Itkin Senior Staff Writer The Faculty Evaluation "ok will go to Student Sen ate Wednesday for final ap proval. The committee on student affairs, headed by G. Robert Ross, dean of student affairs, has already approved plans for the book. The committee on student affairs, a faculty-student com mittee, passed by an 11-3 mar gin a resolution stating that "ASUN be granted the back ing of the committee on stu dent affairs for the conducting of a program of faculty evalu ation." Formal interpretation of the motion states that "unless some subsequent action is taken. ASUN now has the backing of the committee on student affairs and no other action needs to be taken at this time" and that the action "meets the requirement of the subcommittee on student publications." Ross explained that, accord ing to the interpretation, the book may be published if it C23 " tcai Iff u.- 1 WH'WMWWHWIW' fw.r-''1'' 12 f"--v..a ' ''v est? i r 1 -.rv. motion to be voted on next week extending visiting hours Monday through Thursday nights to last from 7 p.m. until closing hours and re stricting women from visiting women from visiting mens' living units during those time. She explained that there has been much dissatisfaction with present visiting hours and that they were incon sistant with the later hours which went into effect this week. In explaining the necessity for restricting women from mens' living units on week nights, Miss Dowling noted that fraternity housemothers would have to be present during those visiting hours and that they (the house mothers) would be greatly in convenienced. To avoid the in convenience, she continued, the restriction is necessary. In other business, Mrs. (Jan Whitney) Hibbs, AWS presi dent, announced that Barb Beckmann. Pam Hedgecock and Diane Smith have been slated for president of AWS. She also announced that interviews for candidacy for Board positions would be held F.eb. 18-19. Applications will be available shortly. is passed by Student Senate, but the student affairs com mittee can reverse its deci sion at any time. He pointed out that although "this is very unlikely" an in dividual member of Faculty Senate could present a mo tion to Faculty Senate asking for a retraction of the student affairs committee's support and if this motion was passed, approval would be rescinded. Before the meeting with the committee on student affairs, sample questionaires were distributed to students in about 20 classes and then ample evaluations were com piled, according to Ladd Lon nquist. chairman of the AS UN faculty evaluation com mittee. "We chose the 20 teachers at random and they covered a lot of different depart ments." Lonnquist said. He said that his committee is now awaiting Wednesday's Senate decision and that, if money is appropriated for the project, questionnaires will be available to students next week and the book will be out by April.
