IFC Defeats Amendment
Reducing Automatic Waiver
An amendment changing
the number of automatic wai
vers granted to each house
from two to one was defeated
by the Interfraternity Council
Wednesday night.
Larry Frolik, Beta Theta
Pi, introduced the motion
at the last IFC meeting af
ter the amendment granting
the two waivers was passed.
Frolik indicated that he
thought the number of wai
vers should be changed to one
until the success of the auto
ra a t i c waivers was deter
mined. Each fraternity would be
granted two waivers per se
mester to pledge men who
had not graduated in the up
per half of their graduating
class or who did not have a
2.0 average.
Rush Week
In other business at the
meeting, a motion on the ac
ceptance of next year's Rush
Week schedule was tabled un
til next week.
John Kenagy, vice president
of IFC, discussed the p r o -posed
Rush Week schedule.
Rush Week, as proposed,
would begin Sunday, with
rushees moving in Saturday
afternoon. Rushees would at
tend 11 rush dates on Sunday,
filing two bid cards after
ward. The rushees would attend
15 rush dates on Monday and
would file four bid cards. On
Wednesday, the men would
attend six rush dates and file
three bid cards.
The rushees would attend a
rush date on Wednesday
ASUN To Report On
Proposed Fee Increase
The special ASUN commit
tee to investigate the pro
posed raise in next year's stu
dent fees will present a re
port at a special Student Sen
ate meeting Thursday at 4:30
p.m.
At this time the committee
will also ask questions of
Chancellor Clifford Hardin
and Vice Chancellor Joseph
Soshnik who will be attend
ing the meeting.
"We want to find out for
the students just why there
is such a great disparity be
tweeo tbe number of instruc
tors, the number of Instruc
tors asked for by the Admin
istration in 1965, the number
that were actually needed and
tbe number needed for 19CG
-7," laid Bob Samuelson,
chairman of tbe committee.
The proposed raise in next
year's tuition is to o b t a I n
funds for the hiring of more
instructors.
"Both Soshnik and Hardin
have expressed a willingness
to answer questions about this
Issue which is a vital con
cern to the students," Kent
Neumelster, ASUN president,
taid.
Samuelson said that the
questions will concern past
enrollment projections, the
presentation of the University
budget committee in March
1965, future enrollment pro
jection and its implications on
the need for an increased fac
ulty. Tbe report will consist of in
formation derived from news
paper articles In the Dally
morning with the second rush
date also including a lunch at
the house. The third rush date
would be in the afternoon.
Rushees would have from
3:15 to 4:30 p.m. to file their
cards and pledge. They would
have to be moved out of the
dormitory by 5:30 p.m.
Frolik asked if it would not
be a feasible to reduce the
rush dates on Wednesday
from two hours to an hour and
a half.
Kenagy said he thought the
fraternities "could safely han
dle the two hour sessions."
It was brought up that the
filing and pledging period im
mediately follows the third
rush date and would place
more emphasis on the third
rush date.
Kenagy said he thought the
second rush date and lunch
would afford the house a
good chance to rush a man
and would take some of the
emphasis off the third rush
date.
It was also suggested that
the moving out period could
be switched with the filing
and pledging in order to give
rushees a chance to think
about their choice.
Kenagy said next year's
Rush Week would cost about
$20 per rushee if they live in
Abel Hall. He pointed out that
this was about $2 below the
cost last year.
He said that if the r u s h
dates on Wednesday were
changed around so they did
not include a lunch at the
second rush date, it would

pers, he continued.
The stories in question con
cern enrollment projections,
the number of full-time equiv
alent students and the num
ber of full-time equivalent fac
ulty members'
Samuelson noted that the
meeting is open to the pub
lic, as are all Student Senate
meetings, and that anyone
may ask questions of Hardin
and Soshnik if they are re
cognized by the floor.
Students Favor
Special Session
University students believe
that Governor Frank Morri
son should call a special ses

propriate additional fundi for
the University, according to a

Roger Doerr, chairman of
the committee, reported at tbe
Student Senate meeting
Wednesday that bis commit
tee had polled 135 students at
random asking about ways of
supplying money needed to
hire more Instructors for next
year.
The current Administration
proposal is to raise student
fees for next year about $40.
The results of the poll are
as follows: 96.3 per cent fav
ored having the governor call
a special session, .7 per cent
favored having the cost taken
care of through student fees
and 3 per cent had no opinion.

Senior Staff Writer
A three-story, brick house
at 2145 B St. has been leased
by Gamma Beta colon of Pi
Kappa Alpha fraternity as
its house for the next two or
three years.
Neal Hansen, a residence
counselor gent to the colony
by the national fraternity,
said that the colony is leasing
the bouse, which also includes
a basement, from Mrs. Vir
ginia Zemer.
"It looks like they had a
fraternity in mind when they
put the house together," Han
sen commented.
The house has been com
pletely refurnished, recar
peted throughout and has
been repainted. Hansen said
that they are in the process
of installing showers now. The
drapes and the remainder of
the furniture should be in by
Thursday, he added.
Next fall, Hansen said, the
fraternity members will be
sleeping two or three actives
to a room, with pledges liv
ing in a dormitory sleeping
arrangement on the third floor
with their own study room.
The third floor Is one large,
finished room.
The library has been fin
ished complete with confer
ence tables and leather
chain. The chapter room, lo
cated in the basement, and
the living room are com
pleted. Ultimately, the house is de
signed to hold 40 men, Han

began last September with
only three members.

The ASUN Student-Faculty

by Mrs. Frank, compiled the
report as a result of inter

The report stated that it
"will not attempt to suggest
legislative action to rectify ex

problems as exist herein and
to designate the direction of

IDCC Submits New
Budget For Dance
By Nancy Hcnrickson
Junior Staff Writer
A revised budget for an in
terdorm dance May 6 was
submitted at the Interdorm
Coordinating Committee
(IDCC) meeting Tuesday eve
ning. The new budget for $300
must now be approved by the
individual dorms.
John Decker, interdorm so
cial chairman who submitted
the budget, suggested that
IDCC recommend that the
residence halls sponsor the
street dance at a combined
unit from 8 to 12 p.m. with
the set budget of $300.
The interdorm social com
mittee had originally planned
to spend $500 on two combos
for the dance.
But Abel Hall announced at
last week's meeting that it
would not pay $500 for a
dance and that it would only
support the dance if less ex
pensive combos were hired.
The new proposed budget
Includes $125 for each of t w
tions for all women's organi
zations were held at the same
time.
"The YWCA changed the
time of their elections and In
dependent Women Students
went out of existarnce so
now the only elections held at
this time are AWS, WAA and
May Queen," she said.
Lynne Irish, election chair
man, said that at this year's
election more than twice as
many women voted than last
and faculty on this campus"
was stated as the primary
problem and an opinion poll
was taken to further define it.
Results of the poll are as
follows:
Students find their relations
with professors predominately
only "satisfactory" and ex
press some disappointment
with "aloof" or "pre-occu-pied"
attitudes.
While professors admitted
ly provide adequate opportu
nities for out-of-class discus
sion, which students often
fail to take advantage of,
there are serious inhibiting
factors which prevent students
from being as open as possi
ble in their relations with in
structors. There exists a vital need
for accurate, easily accessible
this summer to either build
a house on campus or move
into a fraternity complex.
Passersby should be able to
find the house as there will
be a 10 foot sign in the front
yard with Pi Kappa Alpha on
it.
He said the fraternity will
hold an open house sometime
in April.
combos, $25 for advertising
and $25 for the Nebraska Un
ion where the dance will be
held.
In other business at the
meeting, a motion was passed
which places the interdorm
social chairman under the
jurisdiction of the IDCC. Ted
Suhr of Selleck introduced
this motion.
IDCC President Marv Almy
announced that an all-dorm
open house will be held on
ParenU Day, March 28.
At next week's meeting, the
power and jurisdiction of a
permanent interdorm council
and w h e t h e r the council

ballots were invalid because
of mistakes in filling them out.
"Most of the invalid ballots
were for the Sophomore
Board," commented Carol
Bischoff, AWS electoral di
rector. "It was because the
freshmen women voting often
did not vote for six candidates
as the ballot directed."
Approximately 183 ballots

70 were for the Sophomore

fications, educational back

Students are highly critical
of "hum-drum" presentations
and laud creative teaching,
. using supplementary material
beyond continual lectures.
The vast and widespread
need for discussion is not be
ing met either within or with
out the classroom situation.
Present Communication
Another area involved in
the report is present modes
of communication available
between students and faculty.
The report discusses the col
lege advisory boards and con
cludes that modes of commu
nication are available to con
cerned students.
Curriculum of the h o n o r s
program was also discussed
in the report. Three conclu
sions were reached on t h e
basis of interviews with stu
dents who had participated
in the program during the
last three years. They are:
There is no uniformity in
grades assigned to honors sec
tions (some instructors never
give grades below a B and
others allow grades to run the
gamut from A to F).
There is no minimum or
maximum number of expected
papers, no minimum amount
of subject matter expected to
be mastered from class to
class.
Too frequently instructors
seem to be selected on the
basis of academic distinction
or amount of research done,
as opposed to superior teach
ing ability, challenging ap
proaches or sincere interest
in the honors program.
"We don't expect to change
individual attitudes with our
report," Mrs. Frank ex
plained, "but the general re
lationship can be improved.'
She added that a report of
relations on other campuses
along with proposed legisla
tion will be presented to Sen
ate "at the end of next
month."
AWS Constitution
The Student Senate also
passed a motion accepting the
revised constitution of' the
AWS Board. Discussion hinged
on whether approval would
signify approval of the con
stitution without having it
comply to "the new and. uni
form" procedures passed by
Student Senate recently.
Sen. Tom Pickering pointed
out the implication of the
new procedures decision in
cluded "approving a constitu
tion with the understanding it
would be brought up to date
by November, 19G6."
The new and uniform pro
cedures passed by Student
Senate include having the or
ganization have elections by
petition or primaries and giv
ing members the right of ini
tiative and rederendum.
"Any time we reject a con
stitution on content, we'd bet
ter have a good reason be
cause it's a dangerous pre
cedent," said Pickering.
Mrs. Frank noted that AWS
was planning a constitutional
convention to correct the
problems now present in their
constitution.
Other business at the meet
ing Included the nominations
of Bill Coufal, Bob Samuelson
and Shirley Voss for the life
membership In the A 1 u m n I
Association to be awarded at
the Honors Convocation.
Curt Bromm was named
chairman of the ASUN Cam
pus Mail committee and Liz
Aitken was named chairman
of the ASUN Cultural Affairs
committee.
Affiliation with a national
organization of student gov
ernments was also discussed.
