New Union Program Council
Announces Plans For Year
To grow with the campus is
the 1966-67 theme for the Ne
braska Union, according to
Tarry Schaaf, newly elected
president of the Nebraska Un
ion Program Council.
Schaaf recently received
the presidency of the group
which, he explained, plans the
activities for the Nebraska
Union.
Other new Union officers
are: Pam Hedgecock, vice
president; Jim Kinyoun, secretary-treasurer;
Pam Wood,
cultural area director; Larry
Johnson, social area director;
Carolyn Freeman, education
al area director; Jo Christen
sen, recreational area direc
tor; and Doug Miller, Image
area director.
The area directors super
vise the various Union com
mittees to plan events and
activities, Schaaf said.
"Wherever we see a need
to expand, we will do so as
Averages Lower Than 2.0
Termed 'Unsatisfactory'
Any student whose accumu
lative or semester grade
average is below 2.0 will be
placed on scholastic proba
tion if he is permitted to con
tinue at the university. Any
thing below a 2.0 is an un
satisfactory average. Lewis
Fowles, Associate Dean of
Student Affairs, announced
Monday.
c-rade reports of the 1 a s t
spester were mailed Tues
dav. If either a student's
semester or accumulative
average was below 2.0 the
statement "scholastic proba
f."" appeared on the grade
rciKit.
"n the most serious cases,
"record unsatisfactory to be
reviewed" was stated on the
grade report. If the student
was removed from scholastic
probation, "released from
probation" was printed on the
renort.
Students on scholastic pro
bation will be notified by the
student affairs office and as
to what standard they will be
expected to meet in the cur
rent semester.
When a student on scholas
tic probation does not meet
the standards student affairs
established for them, he is

added. "Last year for in

needs."
"Generally we plan to con

of the best in the country
and try new programs when
the need arises," he con
tinued. Projects already in the
planning stages include an
"Instant Culture" program,
an expanded Trips and Tours
committee, a "Get to Know

display and a "reinstatement
of the big shows."
Schaaf explained that "In
stant Culture" was a pro
gram geared to special in
terests covering a wide range
for instance, one week hav
ing a lecturer on Japanese
suspended from the univer
sity. In regard to the scholastic
standing, the university's gen
eral information handbook
states:
1. A student is expected to
be making satisfactory pro
gress in at least 12 credit
hours of registration at each
reporting period; namely, at
the end of the seventh week
and at the end of the semes
ter. 2. A student is expected
to maintain, both currently
and cumulatively, a grade
average of C C2.0) or better.
3. A "student who fails to
meet scholastic requirements
may be dropped from the Uni
versity for unsatisfactory
scholarship. If permitted to
continue, he will be on "schol
astic probation."
4. A student who is on
scholastic probation may be
restricted in the number of
credit hours he carries and
in employment, selection of
subjects, and participation in
extracurricular activities. He
is expected to regain good
standing promptly, ordinarily
by the end of the next semes
ter.

will be available Wednesday
and Thursday at a literature
table in the Nebraska Union.
The venture, being spon

part of SDS's political educa
tion program for the semes
ter, according to Carl David
son, president.
"T h e dominant trend of
thought," within the SDS
group, Davidson said, "is that
SDS needs to emphasize that
it is a multi-issue organiza
tion, rather than just an anti
Viet Nam group."
Davidson said the pamph
lets on Viet Nam being off

Romance, Tradition Identify
Greek Pinning Ceremony
By Randy Irey
Junior Staff Writer
"She has two dreamy eyes
of blue and a wealth of golden
hair."
Those are the first lines of
one of the fraternity pinning
songs sung on the University
campus. What is a pinning,
what does it mean, and what
are some of the traditions be
hind it?
According to an article in
March, 1959, McCaU's mag
azine, which was reprinted in
The Fraternity Month, pin
ning is "an announcement to
the world of college men and
women that two people are
in love and that they intend
to be married. Generally the
future is more remote and
uncertain than it is when an
engagement is announced.
' The pinned pair may have
several more years of school
and the man a stint of milita
service ahead of him. And
pinning does not imply par
ental consent for marriage.
The presentation of a fra
ternity badge to a girl is
known as "Pinning."
The magazine goes on to
explain some of the traditions
behind pinning. "Often there
are traditions, though the na
ture of the merrymaking is
usually determined by local
custom. At many universities
it's traditional for the whole
fraternity chapter to serenade
the girl at her dormitory or
sorority house.

"Generally the man or his
fraternity sends the girl flow-
i ers. He may also send a box
ol candy to her sorority sis
ters. At men's colleges a pin-
Lning sometimes obligates the
.pinner to give a party for his
fraternity brothers; usually
this means a keg of beer for
The House."
Campus views of pinning
are fairly consistent. Lew
Birkmann, a fraternity mem
ber believes (that it's a pre
liminary engagement. "
"It is the best opportunity
to get to know someone bet
ter, a chance to explore the
other person's personality."
John Kenagy, a fraternity
man who is pinned, agrees.
"In our fraternity, giving a
pin means the announcement
of an informal engagement.
It is an advanced step towards
getting engaged. That's my
fraternitv meaning and I fol
low it." "
Bobbie Penterman , Ken
agy's pinmate, looks on the
giving of a pin in much the
same way as he does. "I think
it varies between people. I
agree with John, it is an in
formal engagement. My room
mate says that is kind of a
way of letting your parents
know you are getting serious.
To me. it's a symbol of love,
not merely a sign that I'm
going with someone and not
dating around."
,
The pinning ceremony it
self is different, depending
upon the sorority the girl be
longs to. Polly Rhynalds, pres
ident of Sigma Kappa, says
"The sorority members stand
in a triangle with the fra
ternity members behind us.

"The fraternity sings its
pinning song, and then we
sing ours. At this time, the
boy pins his pin on the girl,
they kiss and then the couple
leaves. The ceremony is fol
lowed by a function with the
fraternity."
According to Judy Mahar,
the Gamma Phi Beta pinning
is more involved. "The fra
ternity comes over and they
pair off with us. We stand in
the foyer of our house, and
as the fraternity song is sung,
the girl walks down the steps.
When she reaches the bottom,
she kisses him and then they

pin on.
"We have girls standing on
the stairs holding candles. As
the couple leaves, these girls
lean over the rail and sing
our second pinning song. Then
they blow the candles out, and
after the couple leaves, we
have a function with the fra
ternity members."
How many pinnings lead to

magazine acticle, no figure is

Jim Brown, Northwestern University, '62, came
with Western Electric because he had heard about
the Company's concern for the continued develop
ment of its engineers after college graduation.
Jim has his degree in industrial engineering and
is continuing to learn and grow in professional
stature through Western Electric's Graduate Engi
neering Training Program. The objectives and edu
cational philosophy of this Program are in the best
of academic traditions, designed for both experi
enced and new engineers.
Like other Western Electric engineers, Jim
started out in this Program with a six-week course
to help in the transition from the classroom to
industry. Since then, Jim Brown has continued to
take courses that will help him keep up with the
newest engineering techniques in communications.

Weymouth: U.S. Still Can
Have First Man on Moon
By Bob Curnow
Junior Staff Writer
The Russians achieved a
monumental space first last
week with the successful soft
landing of the Lunar 9 on the
moon but it is still very pos
sible an American astronaut
may be the first man to see
it.
Dr. John W. Weymouth, a
University physics professor,
said that although the latest
Soviet space feat was a big
step forward, they still must
equal our achievements in the
field of space rendezvous and
maneuvering before they can
effectively place a man on
the moon.
"Actually", said Weymouth,
"the idea of a space race is
unfortunate. It is too bad we
can't benefit from each oth
ers experiences."
Weymouth noted that much
time could be saved in man's
exploration of space and oth
er planets if, for example,
the Soviets contributed the in
formation their Lunar 9 has
gained about the surface and
atmospheric composition of

An orientation for students

8 p.m. in the Union.
The surfing trip will be a
ten day journey to Daytona

17.
Approximately 100 students
are expected for the t r i p.
Arrangements have been
made to stay at the Daytona

beach.
Many ocean sports will be
available to the students:
surfing, deep sea fishing, and
water-skiing. There is a near

he joined Western Electric
the moon and we volonteered
knowledge of space rendez
vous techniques.
The Lunar 9's significance
in the space race is that it
has provided the Russians
with valuable information
about the moon's surface that
pictu.es and laboratory tests
cannot match. According to
Weymouth, this type of infor
mation must preceed any
more advanced landings.
Commenting on the idea of
a "space race" and the em
phasis put on placing a man
on the moon, Weymouth said
there are some scientific fac
tions in the field of space ex
ploration who feel a robot ve
hicle capable of sending back
samples and information
from the moon would be of
more value than as astro
naut. According to Weymouth,
there are other than scientif
ic motives to be considered.
