'Millions9 Note
Of Nebraska
By Cheryl Tritt
Junior Staff Writer
Nebraska's Navy commis
sioned Its first ship last sum
mer and the hearty 10x24-foot
craft weathered her first mis
sion with flying colors, ac
cording to Glenn Friendt, a
'University sophomore.
The S.S. Centennial's shake
down assignment was to
brave the Missouri River
from Omaha to New Orleans
and extend invitations to Ne
braska's 100th birthday par
ty to whomever was within
earshot, he added.
Her adventurous crew was
probably the youngest in the
history of sailing ships.
Friendt was information offi
cer and Rich Gallantine. who
also attends the University,
was captain.
CENTENNIAL
Eighth High
Contracts of 5.7 million on
the dormitory complex now
under construction had hard
ly been "awarded early this
summer when the Board of
Regents began laying the
groundwork for another high
rise dorm.
The proposed new dorm,
which will be the eighth high
rise residence hall on cam
pus is planned for the north
east corner of 17th and R
streets. Actual specifications
on the dorm and whether
there will be one or two
structures are still up in the
air, but the Regents formally
authorized the purcahsing of
the necessary lots in the area.
Construction will not begin
until the -complex now under
way is completed. Possible
completion date of the struc
ture is fall of 1968.
In other summer activity,
the Regents accepted the re
signations of about 60 Univer
sity faculty and staff mem
bers and hired over 80 new

funds for the 23-day excur

outfitted with a mobile
phone, citizen's band radio,
two 50-horsepower motors and
a "cozy" 8xl4-foot cabin.

all temporary and part time
people with the exception of
summer session teachers.
The Board also accepted
something over $2.4 million in
gifts and grants including re
search grants, fellowships,
training grants and special
and instructional program
funds. The funds come from
private industry and govern
ment sources.
The federal government al
so granted the University $2.8
million in construction grants.
The money represents t h
government's one-third share
of construction costs of plan
ned new chemistry, women's
physical education and com
bined classroom faculty office
buildings. Additional federal
grants of $4116,231 earmarked
for student financial aid were
also accepted by the Regents.

were out, the river gods were
trying to tell us we shouldn't
have come," Friendt laughed.
"We were banked in by fog
and ran into a flash ra'n
storm called 'white rain' In
the south and that was only
the beginning."
The apprentice sailors ex
perienced a few embarrassing
moments, he noted when
they ran aground before a
milling throng in Baton Rouge
and another on the second
day of their trip when they
ran out of gas in front of a
barge stationed by veteran
sailors.
"Invasions froir. the insect
world" also gave the boys
some trying moments. Once
they fought a bitter midnight
war with some unique south
ern pests called shrimp flies,
"The flies were attracted to
light and we had to navigate
for several hours in pitch
blackness," he continued.
"Moderow discovered a vic
ious species of mosquitoes
which attack from the under
sides of cots and leave red,
itchy welts as calling card,"
Friendt said one of the in
cidents he enjoyed most was
"watching people's reactions
when they actually saw the
S.S. Centennial after they had
been expecting a ship com
parable to the Queen Mary."
The information officer al
so expressed the opinion "the
S.S. Centennial was the most
original and unique idea that
has been devised to advertise
the Nebraska Centennial.
Campus Housing
At Full Capacity
Students coming to the Uni
versity had no problem find
ing housing if they were will
ing to live off camnus, accord
ing to M. Edward Bryan, di
rector of housing.
"We have everyone housed
in some fashion," Bryan said.
When classes began Mon
day the residence halls were
filled and all space in the
dormitories was being uti
lized. Temporary housing was set
up in the residence halls, mar
ried students were referred
to housing on the Lincoln air
base, and numbers ptstudents
sought off campus rooms and
apartments.
There are 2.100 men living
in the campus dormitories and
92 living in temoorary housing
in Abel and Selleck.
Fewer women than men, 25,
live in temporary housing in
WRA and at the Nebraska
Center, and 2,100 live in reg
ular rooms in the residence
halls, according to Bryant.
Students living in tempor
ary housing desire residence
hall space but don't want to
move off campus, Bryan said.
An advantage is that they are
number one on the waiting
list to be assigned regular
rooms.
To provide temporary hous
ing in the residence halls, the
University converted former
storage space Into rooms.

Hopes To
The University's participa
tion in next year's state cen
tennial is already well into
the planning stage, according
to Elaine Kallos, chairman
of the ASUN centennial com
mittee. Miss Kallos explained that
originally she had planned
the campus centennial activi
ties around three areas witn
her committee carrying most
oi me Duraen.
"We soon found out, how
ever, that our role would
have to be one of co-ordinating
other groups in their
plans for the celebration be
cause we could not carry out
all the campus plans by our
selves," Miss Kallos stated.
"The committee has, there
fore, decided to hold a meet
ing next Tuesday evening
at 7 p.m. for the purpose of
explaining to campus groups
exactly what fantastic oppor
tunities are available to them
by participating in the cen
tennial," she continued. "It
would almost be a sin to
pass up his chance for the
University to show the rest of
the state what we are."
Following this general in
troduction to the organiza
tions attending the meeting,
it is planned to break into
erouDS. on a workshop for
mat. For example all t h p
honoraries. service groups,
and other organizations wouia
be grouped together. At this
The students live in parti
tioned off basements. The
rooms are small and hastily
furnished but many prefer
them to living off-campus.
Students who live in such
housing will be moved to
more permanent quarters
when it becomes available.
The pressures of the large
number of students in tempor
ary housing will be off in two
weeks, Bryan said, as addi
tional space is made in the
normal rooms by students
moving out.
Some students are commut
ing or staying -with relatives
until "space fff-'-'Bvail able ""in
residence halls.
The prime source of off
camnus housing for women is
Ncttleton Manor at the Lin
coln School of Commerce be
cause regulations prohibit
women from living in apart
ments. Men have no difficulty in
securing off campus housing,
Bryan continued, and some
are living in the YMCA and
the Capitol Hotel. He reported
that the housing office listed
350 vacancies in off campus
rooms and apartments last
week.
The apartments for married
students on city and East
campus are filled. The hous
ing office has ben referring
married students to off base
housing at the Lincoln air
base.

time, members of the centen
nial committee will explain
what each organization could
possibly do.
"If these campus organiza
tions decide not to partici
pate, the centennial commit
tee will be forced to carry
out the things which we see
as being beneficial to the Unit
versify," Miss Kallos de
clared. "The problem Is that
one committee can nromnte
; on,y wo or (fcrce activitl..s
effectively. We would much
prefer to be only a campus
headquarters for co-ordinating
activities."
Heritage Stressed
"The ice cream socials,
wearing of old fashioned
clothes, the growing of
beards, and other common
centennial activities are a lot
of fun, but I want the cele
bration to be different," ex
plained Miss Kallos. "I would
like the celebration to also
stress the need to know about
Nebraska and appreciate its
heritage."
"This is the area known as
the cultural and educational
aspects of the centennial.
Some plans for stimulating
interest could be, for exam
ple, Young Democrats and
Young Republicans holding
political forums on why Ne
braska politics are the way
they are. For instance 40 per
i cent of -Nebraska s popula-
, tion is made up of people of
German origin. At one time
this was very important In
the state politically."
"Bringing out facts such
as these would be a main
function of the centennial
celebration," Miss Kallos
said. "Other plans could in
clude an Indian pow-wow
weekend in which Indian rel
ics from the past and other
exhibits could be displayed.
There could be Indian danc
ing, costuming, and many
other things. Another idea
would be an ethnic weekend
during which various state
ethnic groups within the state
could perform their national
dances, display their clothing,
food, etc."
Other ideas that Miss Kal
los discusssd were a Nebras
kaland photo exhibit and a
program dealing with t h e
musical heritage of Nebras

University," stressed Miss
Kallos.
In order to stimulate inter
est within the living units
concerning the centennial, it
has been proposed that an
Ivy Day award be givsn for
the project best prommting
the Nebraska Centennial.
Miss Kallos stated that the
plans for this award are still
being worked out but it is
hoped that there could be
three awards, first and sec
ond runner-up, and the win
ner. Publicize Activities
"We plan on contacting all
aspects of the news media,
in order to publicize the ac
tivities of living units through
out the year. We would also
hope that pictures of t h e s e
activities could be printed in
next years Cornhusker. "In
other words," Miss Kallos
emphasized, "we hope to pro
vide as much publicity as
possible for those living units
participating in the celebra
tion." It will be determined this
week whether a half hour
program on the University's
contribution to the state
could be produced over the
ETV network, explained Miss
Kallos.
"At Saturday's football
game, the Centennial com
mittee plans to have a wagon
on the mall across from the
stadium publicizing the cen
tennial and the University's
interest in it," she stated.
"However, the e x t e n t to
which these plans are car
ried out depends on wheth
er or not the fifty campus
groups invited to next Tues
day's meeting take an inter
est in the Centennial and ac
cept an active role in it,"
jmiss Kallos concluded.
