AWS Counselors
Explain Program
AWS activated the newly
organized coed counselor pro
gram last week in an attempt
to acquaint freshmen women
with AWS-sponsored activi
ties, according to Elaine Kal
los, freshman orientation
chairman.
The philosophy of the pro
gram is "to put AWS on a
more personal basis," said
Miss K a 1 1 o s. Miss Kallos
stressed that on a large uni
versity campus it is neces
sary to establish personal con
tact with freshmen women.
"Often freshmen women
don't know what AWS is and
they develop a negative atti
tude toward the organization.
The girls don't realize they
are helping to formulate AWS
rules as a representative
body," Miss Kallos declared.
Miss Kallos added that in
previous years AWS board
members met with freshmen
women at mass hall meetings .
and presented AWS rules us
ing slides or other impersonal
methods.
The function of the coed
counselors is to emphasize the
program area of AWS rather
than the rules and to encour
age freshmen to take an ac
tive part in AWS activities,
said Miss Kallos.
Forty-two upperclass wom
en, including representatives
from dormitories, sororities
and the Lincoln area, are
each assigned to a floor in the
freshmen women's living
units, Miss Kallos continued.
"The counselors will meet
. with their floors at least three
times," Miss Kallos stated.
"The meetings will be held
before the freshmen Activi
ties Mart, AWS Standards
Week and Coed Follies," she
added.
The counselors held their
first meetings with the fresh
men last week, Miss Kallos
said, briefly explaining AWS
functions and informing the
girls of the AWS workers in
terviews Oct. 2.
Miss Kallos continued that
the meetings were conducted
in an impersonal manner and
the main objective of the
counselors was to become fa
miliar with their "adopted"
freshmen.
Tuition
Is Due
Thursday
The deadline is Thursday
for University students to pay
tuition and fees for the fail
semester, James Wickless,
bursar, said Monday.
Tuition and fee statements
were mailed to students at
their Lincoln or commuting
address Friday. Payment for
tuition must be in the Bur
sar's Office, Room 204 Ad
ministration, before 5 p.m.
Thursday.
Students who do not receive
a tuition statement in the mail
by Tuesday, should report im
mediately to the Bursar's Of-
fice.
If students do not pay tui
tion by 5 p.m. Thursday a $10
late payment charge will be
added to the individual's pres
ent balance. If the total bal
ance tuition plus late
charge is not paid by 5 p.m.
Oct. 6, the student's registra
tion will be referred to t h e
Dean of Student Affairs for
cancellation.
Tuition may be paid by
mail, but students must make
sure the payment is in the
Bursar's Office by 5 p.m.
Thursday.
presentation, followed by a
period of questions and an
swers. According to Terry Schaaf,
president of ASUN, the pur
pose of Mayor Petersen's
speech, as he sees it, is "to
better the communication be
tween the students and the
citizens of Lincoln."
"It is of special significance
"The coed counselors were
selected from applications,"
Miss Kallos explained, "and
their appointments were
based on their familiarity
with the campus in general
and their ability to present
themselves well before a rath
er large group."
Coed counselor, Julie Gull
berg, said she passed out bub
ble gum and tootsie rolls at
her first meeting to create an
informal atmosphere.
"I stressed to the girls that
they are AWS and it is their
duty to run it and become
active in its functions, Miss
Gullberg said.
Nancy Shook stated that
she became a coed counselor
because "a girl's freshman
year is very important and
it's necessary for someone to
be there to inform them of
what is happening."
Miss Shook said she told
the girls about future AWS ac
tivities rather than redefining
AWS rules to them.
Carol Francis noted that
she hoped to attain a close
contact with her freshmen
and planned to hold more
than the required three meet
ings. "The University is becom
ing so large it is very diffi
cult for girls who are not in
volved in the Greek system
to become familiarized with
campus activities," Miss
Francis said.

Homecoming.
Mortar Boards To Sell
Homecoming Corsages
Members of Mortar Board
will begin taking orders Mon
day in women's living units
for Homecoming mums.
This year the mums will
be made up as ready-to-wear
corsages and will be boxed
separately. Price has been
raised to $1.50 due to a larger
size of flowers and the indi
vidual packaging.
Mums will be sold in all
living units dormitories,
fraternity houses and sorori
ty houses, Pam Hedgecock,

said.
Sales in men's living units
will begin Oct. 3. Sales will
continue in men's and wom

the students have had to go

Now he's coming to us to find
out our problems."
Some of the problems that
Schaaf expects to be dis
cussed arc those of housing,
traffic and parking.
"It is pleasing to see that
someone, such as the Mayor
of Lincoln, realizes the neces
sity and importance of having
direct lines of communication
between his office and the
students of Nebraska," Schaaf
stated.
Within the next several
weeks, Schaaf expects Chan
cellor Hardin and Vice-Chancellor
Soshnik to speak to the
Senate.
Hardin and Soshnik will
speak on the proposed legis
lative budget for the Univer
sity. They will also explain
the special areas within the

Both events were in Oma

Cathie Shattuck, a sell-out

Miss Shattuck said that
Nixon spoke on foreign policy

Again the significance, ac
cording to Schaaf, of the Chan

lor speaking to the Senate is
that they see "that the stu

for, the University. It is im
portant that these 'salesmen'
be informed of the necessity
of the proposed budget being
passed."
"Also, it is again important
in this instance, that the
Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor
are willing to come before
the Senate to explain their
ideas and position," Schaaf
declared. "This is a step for
ward in strengthening the
communications between the
students and the administra
tion." Sometime this week, ac
cording to Schaaf, members
of the executive committee of
ASUN will have a special
briefing with Chancellor Har

endorsement of Sorensen was
particularly "warm and per
sonal," since the families of
the Senator and the Lieuten
ant Governor "have been
close friends for many years."
Young Democrats handed
out tickets and greeted Ken
nedy at the airport, Booth
said.
The Young Republicans
presented ideas to the plat
form committee of the state
convention, Miss Shattuck
said. YR recommendations
included ideas on taxation and
education.
Miss Shattuck said that the
delegates were impressed
with the YR interest and had
incorporated several of their
ideas into the platforms.
Young Republicans had an
opportunity to meet Nixon
and GOP candidates at a re
ception before the dinner.
'Lobbying'
Is Liason
Function
The role of the Legislative
Liason and Research Com
mittee of ASUN is being for
mulated and will be further
defined following a committee
meeting on Monday, accord
ing to Phil Bowen, co-chairman
of the committee.
In explaining his view of
the committee, Bowen stated
that he believes that its most
important job is "lobbying for
the University budget" within
the Unicameral.
"In order to lobby for the
budget successfully, we must
first learn how to approach
senators. Since the legislature
does not meet till January,
we are presently in the pro
cess of t a 1 k i n g to various
senators and learning their
techniques on how to present
a good case to all the sena
tors," Bowen said.
"When we talk to the sena
tors during the legislative
session, we must know just
what the budget covers, not
merely the figures, but an ex
planation behind the figures,"
he continued.
Therefore the committee
will be meeting this week with
Chancellor Clifford Hardin
and Vice-Chancellor Joseph
Soshnik, according to Bowen,
to learn the background be
hind the proposed dudget.

Jazz in the

By Toni Victor
Senior Staff Writer
Talking, laughing, but most of a 1 1
playing, Earl "Fatha" Hines and trio
seemed to enjoy the Friday afternoon jazz
concert a's much as the 3500 university
students who crowded on the lawn at
Sheldon Art Gallery.
Lounging in groups on the grass
and perched on the walls and steps, the
University sutdents watched entranced as
the four men on the steps put on a
lively show of Jazz in the Afternoon.
Though Earl Hines was the man they
came to see and hear, improvisational
solos by Bill Penberton on b3ss, Jackie
Williams on drums, and saxophonist Budd
Johnson showed talents of Hines' side
men to be also exceptional.
Stamping his right foot in steady
rhythm, Hines swung through such jazz
selections as "Candy," "Second Balcony
Jump" and what he termed a musical
omelet whose ingredients were "Canadian
Sunset," "Satin Doll," and "Lullabv of
Birdland."
Hines crooned lowly "It Had to Be
You" and the audience burst into ap

I Ask For NU Volunteers !
Representatives of VISTA,
Volunteers In Service To
America, will be on campus
to recruit volunteers Monday
through Wednesday.
According to Jan"t Regan,
VISTA field representative,
the organization has often
been called the "domestic
peace corp." The program,
begun in 1!K!5 as part of the
Office of Economic Opportu
nity, now has 3,500 working
volunteers.
Three VISTA representa
tives will set up a booth in
the Nebraska Union to pro
vide information and answer
questions. The booth will be
open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
A new movie explaining
VISTA's program will be
shown in the Pan American
Room at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and
2 p.m., according to Miss
Regan.
She explained that VISTA

aim of VISTA is "to send

Vista volunteers are sent
to a community to work on a

comes familiar with a com
munity he can usually dis
cern what assistance the peo

plained. VISTA's goal is to set up
the projects that will be con
tinued by the community after
the volunteer has left, she
emphasized.
A new program of selec

versity Miss Regan said.
Mary McKinney from VISTA's
evaluation division will be in
the Nebraska Union to inter

able to issue an invitation
to VISTA to qualified stu

graduate students will be sent
to Washington for evaluation
as has been the procedure
for all applications in the
past.
When filling out an appli

ence which area of VISTA he
is most interested in Miss
Regan said. The six major
areas are urban, rural, men
tal health and job-corps.
To apply a student must
be 18 years of age or older
and if married, husband and
wife must agree to serve to
gether and may have no de
pendants under 18 years old
miss Regan said. He indi
cates his first choice "We
want adaptability, initiative
and skill," in-VISTA volun

VISTA is considered in the
national interst by the Selec

When a volunteer is accepted
by VISTA he may request a
deferment from his local draft
board and over 95 per cent
of the deferments are granted
