Liberal Regulations At Foreign Schools
Surprise Women Exchange Students
By Toni Victor
Junior Staff Writer
Foreign universities are for
the most part liberal about
hours for women, according
to several University foreign
students and Americans who
have attended schools in oth
er countries.
"We had no hours at Chung
Chi College," said Jean Wong,
a graduate student in chem
istry from Hong Kong. She
said that the dormitories were
closed at midnight or one,
but that girls could ring the
bell and be let in. She stated
that no type of demerit sys
tem was employed.
"A girl had to sign out as
to where she was going, but
we were allowed to go home
and take overnights any night
of the week," continued Miss
Wong. She thought that t h e
women were trusted more at
her former college, and per
haps were more responsible
there than here.
There are no dormitories
for women at the Colegio de
Mexico, stated Susie Rutter
Cont. from Pg. 1, Col. 7
"Rather than a period of
physical exhaustion, the idea
now is to make it mean
something to the pledge. It is
one last thing to unify a
pledge class," said Greg An
drews, IFC affairs committee
chairman.
Phi Gamma Delta is the
one fraternity which no long
er even has a help week.
President John Kenagy said,
"Pledge training throughout
the semester suffices as a fi
nal binding together and it
isn't necessary. The pledges
still plan a social service
project, but it is not done in
conjunction with initiation."
'Rewarding Experience'
Bob Milligan, president of
Alpha Tau Omega fraternity,
described help week as a re
warding and interesting ex
perience. More emphasis is
placed on constructive work
and influential speakers from
professional organizations are
scheduled.
The pledges spend one eve
ning In the homes of Lincoln
alumni. Help week is the
transition period to active
membership and is the final
climax before initiation, Milli
gan said.
Alpha Tau Omega presents
a fraternity help week award
on Ivy Day to base the award
on the number of pledges ac
tivated, grade average, and
service to the community and
to the University.
'Culminates Pledgeshlp'
"Help week is a culmina
tion of pledgeship. It is not a
time for catching up, it's a
time for summing up," said
Bob Fulton, Beta Theta Pi
pledge trainer.
The Beta pledges work at
the Nebraska State Hospital
mopping and waxing floors,
washing windows and also
work with the patients. An
other work project is at the
State Capitol arranging files
and polishing the liberty bell.
In addition they also have
house projects.
Jack Guggenmos, president
of Delta Upsilon, described
their help, health and con
struction program as a speed
ed up week of study and con
structive work In the house.
"We have real good active
support but the attitude of the
actives Is dying out. They are
coming around to the idea
that it is not as beneficial as
it should be. I would like to

who attended the school dur
ing her junior year. Conse
quently there are no special
rules or regulations for wom

Miss Rutter also studied at
the University of Madrid in
Spain. At Madrid, she ex
plained, there were dormitor
ies, but no demerit systems.
She attributes this to the more
liberal atmosphere in foreign
countries.
Miss Rutter stated that de
spite the lack of hours, the
women seemed, to get their
studying done.
No Need
Janine Jensen, a University
junior, lived for the summer
in Switzerland and has sev
eral friends at the Univer
sity of Zurich. Miss Jensen
feels that the women there
are generally mature and do
not have a need for strict
hours and demerits.
Pia Dranth, a University
student from the Netherlands,
exclaimed, "I led a free life

of the Netherlands. I was

Positive Effect
Kappa Sigma president Bill
Stryk said, "We feel this is
a positive substitute for all
types of hazing used in the
past. Through the efforts of
working and informative lec
tures pledges are bound to
gether as a unit, and work as
one for the betterment of the
house through unity, cooper
ation and brotherhood."
Bob Strayer, president of
Triangle fraternity, said their
help week has both construc
tive projects and odd prac
tices. One fraternity president
said the program is a little
of both help and hell but it
is more help now. He said
the pledges have lots of rules,
are required to work hard
and are expected to fulfill
their tasks. Duties and tradi
tion are combined with clean
ing and fixing the house.
Intensive Education
An intensive program of
education about the fraterni
ty, projects in the house it
self and a community project
are parts of help week in Del
ta Tau Delta fraternity, pre
sident Dave Geier said. "It
gives the pledges an oppor
tunity to work together and
makes them aware of the
purposes of the fraternity and
the ideals we uphold."
Alpha Gamma Rho's help
week program is a complete
revision of what was carried
on five or six years ago, pre
sident Ken Beebe explained.
Constructive projects as op
posed to the old derogatory
type are planned to make a
pledge appreciate exactly
what the fraternity is.
Jim Kinyoun said the main
purpose of help week is Sig
ma Phi Epsilon is to get the
house cleaned up, but includ
ed in the program also are
outside speakers.
IFC Regulations
IFC passed the following
by-laws regarding hazing in
May, 1963.
1. All hazing practices are
forbidden at the University of
Nebraska. Any tactics likely
to prove injurious to the
pledge or any form of activ
ity that may bring discredit
to the fraternity of the or
ganized fraternity system as
a whole is prohibited. The
IFC will be guided in its def

Miss Dranth explained that
at her former school, a girl
lives in a room in town and
is free to leave and come
home when she pleases.
Hours In France
The University of Dijon in
France does have dormitories
and hours for women during
the regular sessions, accord
ing to Mrs. Carol Youseffi
who studied there for the
summer. Mrs. Youseffi noted
that quite a few of the schools
in France do not provide dor
mitories. Mrs. Monsoor Ahmad, a
University student from India,
previously attended Bihar
University in India. She said
that dormitories were p r o -vided
for the women students,
but that many women lived
in town. Mrs. Ahmad ex
explained that curfew hours
were set by the individual,
depending upon how much
studying one had to do.

Student Injures
Police Officer
A University student
backed his car into a motor
cycle policeman Tuesday on
the University campus, ac
cording to Lincoln police.
The police said that the
policeman, Sgt. William Ger
nigan, received leg bruises
and was taken to a Lincoln
hospital.
Gernigan was going east on

Avenue, allegedly backed his
car from a driveway directly
behind the University health

Housing Code Protects
Student Health, Welfare
"Students develop a de
pressed attitude from living
m housing that is marginel
or sub-standard," stated off-
campus Housing Officer,
Wayne L. Blue.
According to Blue, this psy
chological factor is one of the
prime reasons for enforce,
ment of the Housing Code as
passed by the Board of Re
gents. Both male and female soph
omores and freshmen under
twenty-one years of age are
affected by this code and
must be living in University
approved housing, on or off
campus.
Last semester approximate
ly 3,777 single men lived off
campus in approved housing.
as shown in figures compiled
by the Housing Office.
Upperclassmen may also
use the facilities of the Hous
ing Office to judge the desir
ability of intended housing.
Married couples do not come
under the jurisdiction of the
office, said Blue. He felt that
in this circumstance the wife
will usually be more partic
ular about the housing ar
rangement than the Housing
Office.
Two important facets of the
code for housing approval,
said Blue, are the managerial
concept and the environmen
tal condition.
The first, he explained, con
cerns the necessity of having
a person be responsible for
students living in such off
campus housing as apart

ments and private rooms. If
the manager's attitude toward
the students living in the
apartment is less than desir
able, the housing Office will
often reconsider University '
approval.
The second important con
dition for approval is the ac
tual physical condition of the
housing. The situation should
be conducive to study. Also,
in an apartment shared by
two men, the bedroom must
be 120 square feet, said Blue,
and must contain single beds
for health reasons.

ing Office is providing a val

A proponent of the income

Keith Olsen, ASUN senators

the primary topic for discus
