Tooth-Decay And Batman
Besiege Nation's Campuses
Headlines from university
papers throughout the nation
wpuld seem to indicate that
interests on college campuses
span the full range from tooth
decay to drinking, from fire
to ice.
The Daily Reveille at Lou
isiana State University re
ports that dental researchers
at the University of Miami
have discovered "news which
may . revolutionize the dating
habits of America" . . . name
ly that tooth-decay is con
taglous. At first, this may seem in
significant, the Reveille not
ed. However, upon closer ex
amination, who would know
ingly, destroy his ivory smile
or earn himself a premature
set of false teeth simply be
cause he had been kissing the
wrong girl?

Faculty Book,
Grade System
Meeting Topics
The "questions" of the
ASUN Faculty-Evaluation
Book and the Pass-Fail sys
tem will be considered at a
meeting of the Committee on
Student Affairs Monday.
G. Robert Ross, vice chan
cellor and dean of student af
fairs, said, "The meeting was
originally scheduled to discuss
the ASUN proposal of a pass
fail system, but we'll prob
ably be discussing the Faculty-Evaluation
Book as well."
Last Tuesday, the Commit
tee on Student Affairs with
drew approval of the ASUN
Faculty-Evaluation Book.
The pass-fail system was
proposed by ASUN and is a
system by which a student
could enroll in up to four
courses and would receive
grades of either pass or fail.
These courses would be elec
tives and could not be re
quirements for graduation.

Date of interviews: February 23
by Campus Security after a
basketball game for allegedly
mixing their cokes with hard
liquor which they had brought
into the game in their purses.
An official of Campus Se
curity, the story continued,
said that it was the first
time anyone had been caught
drinking In the stadium al
though "a few students had
been caught drinking at foot
ball games."
An earlier article in the Col
legian noted that downtown
merchants in the Fort Col
1 i n s area were concerned
about the taverns in the area
(Colorado is a 3.2 state).
The merchants said that
the major problem concerned
students parking on the
streets during business hours
and preventing other people
from finding parking places
"Parking is bad on Friday,"
the article points out. ,
Bomb Threat
The Vanguard of Portland
State College in Oregon says
that their College Center was
"quickly evacuated Wednes
day night after Portland po
lice received word that a
bomb had been planted in
building."
Evacuation began after a
woman had notified the police
that her husband was crazy
and had planted the bomb "in
protest against Viet Nam,"
the article continued.
The search centered around

"It was a shock to me that
the University and the city
does not provide a series of
serious artist's performances
said Robert Narveson, associ
ate professor of English and
president of the Lincoln
Friends of Chamber Music.
It was this situation, ex
plained Narveson, that moti
vated himself and five others
to organize an association to
sponsor the best local and na
tional chamber music en
sembles and bring them to
Lincoln.
Two years ago the first pe
titions for membership in the
Friends of Chamber Music
were circulated and today, aft
er the first two successful con
certs, the group is planning
the program for next year.
The association sponsors
four programs a year and has
featured the Amadeus Quar
tet and the Prague Quartet,
both of which gave perform
ances which received outstand
ing reviews by critics. On
March 18 the Lincoln Cham
ber Players will appear and
the Tipton Trio is scheduled
for April 22.
The concerts are held in
Sheldon Art Gallery Auditori
um, a location that Narveson
describes as nearly perfect
for chamber music because
of the excellent acoustics and
intimacy between the per
formers and the audience.
Mr. Norman Geske, direct
or of the Sheldon Gallery,
took an interest in the group
from the first and offered the
auditorium free of charge to
the Friends of Chamber Mu
sic. Geske also serves on the
program board of the associ
ation and helps select the per
formers, according to Narve
son. Other people who have been
important in the organization

UNICORNS
Not Linked
With Dorms
UNICORNS, an organiza
tion for off-campus students.
is one Independent group not
linked with the dormitories.
Bob Bogott. UNICORN
president, said UNICORNS
has about 103 members.
He pointed out that at pres
ent, there is no connection be
tween this group and other
Independent organiza t i o n s,
but that "we'd like to inves
tigate the possibility sometime
in the future.
"Our purpose is to help stu
dents who live off-campus to
feel as if they are a part ot
the University community.
This is sometimes hard when
a student just comes for
classes during the day and
then leaves," he said.
Bogott noted that one of
their greatest problems is
finding new members, but he
emphasized that in the 1 a s t
year UNICORNS' member
ship has grown considerably.
"Last semester broke all
records in recruiting new
members," he said.
He explained that
UNICORNS is trying to put
cew emphasis on getting its
members into other campus
organizations.
For instance, Bogott noted,
UNICORNS "has to plan
ahead" and inform its mem
bers that they can apply to
be candidates for different
things such as Ideal Coed or
Outstanding Collegiate Man.
He stressed that this year,
"publicity has been the key
work in our improved organi
zation." "Last year we supported a
candidate for student govern
ment and worked behind
him. He was elected," he ex
plained. He explained that
UNICORNS is based on a
system of committees. These
include a service committee,
wich has done work at places
like Cedars Home and col
lected money for soldiers in
Viet Nam. and an activities
committee, which tries to keep
UNICORNs members in
formed on campus activities.
Social, membership and
scholarship committees are
also included.

BOWLING TEAM
off-hours for an approaching match.
Distances Hinder Bowlers;
Team Uses Mail To 'Compete'
Using the mail to compare
scores is one of the main
ways that the University's
bowling team competes with
other Big Eight Schools.
Keith Van Velkinburgh, who
helps train the ten-member
team sponsored by the Ne
braska Union, noted that
geography and distance have
always been problems for the
team.
He explained that a system
has been established so that
the different schools can mail
their scores to the league sec
retary and compare bowling
averages before they actually
meet for a match.
Van Velkinburgh, a cham

University graduate student,
said that he works with the

Sunday.
Jerry Farrel, a graduate
student in math, directed the
1966 National Intercollegiate
Bridge Tournament held in
the Union.
According to Farrell, bridge
appeals to the analytical mind
of the mathematics student.
"It takes a certain amount
of brains to play a decent
game of b r i d g e, ne ex

"Math specialists generally
have a good memory for
cards and card combinations.
They are able to analyze dis
tribution and guess opponents'
cards, Farrell noted.
The winners of the Univer

compete with other major
schol tournament winners
across the nation. A national
winner will be chosen from
the local contests. In addition,
regional winners will be
named. These winners will
compete in a national tourna

help them improve their bowl
ing. "There's really no right or
wrong in bowling as long as
you do everything consistent
ly; then you can adjust with
practice," Van Velkinburgh
said.
To be a good bowler, a per
son has to be able to adjust
to different lane conditions
because each lane has its own
idiosyncrasies, he said. Prac
tice on outside lanes is im
portant for this reason.
Van Velkinburgh said he

they improve their average

Unlike the social bridge

One entrant walked out of
