S AWS: 'Flexibility Marks
Hours, Demerit System
Extended hours and a more
flexible late minutes system
compose a major part of the
AWS board's new philosophy
toward University coed regu
lations, according to Barb
Beckmann, AWS judicial vice
president.
A handbook explaining all
AWS rules and regulations,
the key system and constitu
tion recently has been edited
by the AWS board. Approxi
mately 5,000 copies have been
published to be distributed to
University women living on
the campus, stated Pam
Paiiliellenic Plans
Projects For Year
Panhellenic projects for the
coming year "will be initiated
as needs are brought forth,"
according to Erma Winterer.
"Panhellenic Is set up for
the benefit of the individual
sorority houses and to solve
common problems collective
ly," she added.
One project that would be
undertaken immediately, she
noted, would be the establish
ment of a committee to in
vestigate the possibilities of
publishing a Panhellenic
rush book similar to the IFC
rush book.
Rush Book
Miss Winterer added that
it is believed that one book
containing information on all
the sororities would be more
economical than the individ
ual books now printed.
An alternative suggestion,
she continued, would be to
have one printer make up all
the sorority rush books, pos
sibly making printing more
economical and efficient for
the individual houses.
Other projects to be dis
cussed include a food manage
ment center to plan meals
and supply food for all soro
rity houses, she added. This
program had been tried on a
small scale several years ago,
but did not work out.
"Many Ideas which were
brought up years ago may
prove successful, however, if
tried again because of the
constantly changing condi
tions," Miss Winterer noted.
Panhellenic will also con
tinue to work with annual pro
jects like the Dean's Tea, a
Housemother's Tea, Panhel
lenic Workshop and Junior
Panhellenic, she added.

Keys, Handbook Head AWS Agenda
The controversial senior
key system and newly-edited
handbook head the agenda for
the AWS program this year,
according to Pam Hedgecock,
AWS president.
Recently distributed to AWS
Board members, housemoth
ers and student assistants,
the handbook will be issued
to all university women this
week.
Proposed constitution
al changes are printed in the
book, and Miss Hedgecock
said the AWS Board hoped to
have the amendments ratified
in November.
"We will inform the wom
en about the proposals before
voting on them," she added.
Miss Hedgecock said be
cause "the rules are more
flexible," AWS Court may not
have to handle as many cases
this year.

in the senior quota of six
over-nights per semester,
which may be used as either
Lincoln over-nights or out-of-towns.
Senior women are
granted unlimited over-nights
only if they have obtained
parental permission.
Miss Beckmann said the
demerit system has been re
vamped into a more lenient
method based on a semester
rather than yearly structure
Five violations which are
frequently committed have
been grouped together and
any two of these offenses war
rant a call to court.
These five infringements in
clude improper overnight
signouts. failure to obtain per
mission slips if required, in
fraction of visiting hours,
transgressions of visitors'
rules and failure to sign in
for sorority overnights.
A grace period which allows
three latenesses or twenty
late minutes, whichever ac
cumulates first, has been de
signed to replace the previous
demerit system for late
nesses. .
Late minutes on 1:30 a.m.
or 2 a.m. nights still warrant
an automatic campus.
Infractions such as no sign
ins and no sign-outs are not
included in the grace period
but are now separate. Three
such infractions a semester
will justify a call before AWS
Court.
At the end of each semester,
women who have incurred no
penalties will be granted a
bonus of an additional hour
past closing hours on any one
night they choose.
year only ten demerits were
allowed for the whole year.
Now we have geared the rules
and regulations for a semes
ter," she added.
The purpose of the court
will include the duty of ex
plaining rules to the women
and attempting to end such
incidents as chronic failure to
sign in or out without actual
ly issuing campuses for small
infractions.

Gemini Loses Coney
A University professor may have been more disappointed
than astronauts Conrad and Gordon when the Gemini XI
mission was delayed for the second time Saturday.
Lee Coney, broadcasting professor in the school of
journalism, was the news director for CBS in Houston for
the Gemini flight.
But when the Gemini mission was delayed until Monday
morning, Coney relinquished the position to return to the Uni
versity in time for his Monday classes.
"The postponements created a minimum of complaining
and a great deal more understanding of our space system,"
Coney said.
He explained that both postponements proved to be sup
er safe precautions.
"Our space program is held up until scientists are con
vinced it is as safe as man can make it," he said.
During the preceding week as news director, Coney had
organized the news room and set up communications at the
mission control center in Houston.
He estimated that the news desk had moved 20,000 words
of copy in various stories on the CBS news wire.

WOMEN'S P. E. BUILDING ... to occupy University
High site.
'68 Completion Set
For P.E. Building
Construction contracts for
the women's physical educa
tion building were awarded
Monday by the Board of Re
gents. The contracts are subject
to approval by a federal
agency before the final go
ahead is given, however.
When actual work on the
$2.1 million facility will begin
is not certain, but the sched
uled completion date is spring
of 1968.
George Cook Construction
Co. of Lincoln was awarded
the general contract on t h e
building which will be located
on the northeast corner of
14th and Vine streets, behind
the present University High
School building.
The Regents also approved
a recommendation made by
G. Robert Ross, vice chancel
lor and dean of student af
fairs, that will allow Cuban
refugee students to be granted
resident tuition privileges for
the University.
The plan will affect 12 to
18 students presently enrolled
at the University, according
to Ross. It allows a Cuban
refugee student to be termed
a resident of the state if he
graduates from a Nebraska
high school and files a declara
tion of intent to live in Ne
braska with the University.
Ross said that it is not pos
sible to pinpoint what "intent
to live" in Nebraska is, but
he noted that the same word
ing is used in the Nebraska
statutes referring to a state of
residency in Nebraska.
The object of the wording,
he said is to establish that

All-Dorm Vote
All students living in the
residence halls on city and
East campuses will vote on
the constitution for the Inter
dorm Council. Members of
the organization will be all
the students living in the res
idence halls which have ap
proved the constitution.
The constitution for an In
terdorm Council was drafted
by the Interdorm Coordinat
ing Committee (IDCC) last
semester. The committee was
formed by the presidents and
the student would be in resi
dence for a longer than a few
months.
In other action, the Board
approved the appointments of
35 new faculty members and
named Dr. Earle Raun of
Ames, Iowa, as the new chair
man of the entomology de
partment. Raun succeeds Dr. R. E.
Hill, chairman of the depart
ment since 1950. Hill will be
devoting his time to research.

Ludwig estimated that the

Graduate
Enrollment
Increases
More students every year
are proceeding down the grad

University placement office.
Twenty-seven per cent of

The placement office, which
handles job applications from
students in all colleges except

students received degrees in
June. Of these, 219 planned
to attend graduate school at
the University, 86 at other
graduate schools and nine
planned to attend graduate
school, but were undecided
where.
Of the June graduates, 111
went into the armed forces,
but only seven of those were
in the career armed forces.
About half of the 489 grad

"It will operate not as a

will operate under their (dor

'Power In Itself
He said that the council
would evolve as a power in
itself, but that he could not
foresee how long that would
take.
When the constitution is ap
proved, the IDCC will hold an
election for executive officers
who will serve until March.
The officers on the commit
tee now are serving interim
terms.
Election polling for the con

plans for the vear for the
IDCC. The committee will
also hold a workshop for dor

Davidson leaves
For SDS Office
In order to fulfill the duties
of his new office as national
vice president of Students for
a Democratic Society (SDS),
Carl Davidson, a University
graduate assistant, has left
the University for the year.
Davidson was eiected to the

tional SDS convention in Iowa,
where he polled 90 per cent of
the votes. As vice president he
will implement the internal
education program of the
organization by traveling to
various college chapters across
the country.
Davidson left Sunday for
Chicago, but stated that Lin
coln would be his "base of
operations" and that he would
be returning every six weeks.
His local office will be in the
