(I.P.) -The Academic Council at Gonzaga University has established norms that will govern de partment requirements, ac cording to the Rev. Neil G. McCluskey, S. J., academic vice president. Under a proposal passed by the Academic Council, no de partment may require more than 33 upper and lower divi sion credits in the major field and supplementary courses combined. No depart ment may require more than 24 upper division credits in the major field and support ing fields. However, "Departments normally requiring more than 18 upper division credits in the major field will be author ized to provide that a support ing minor in a teaching field is also required." and community projects. "We lived in and with thp people, living their way nf life," said Birckhead. "We. worked with them rather than for them, giving encourage ment and ideas, trying to era. ate a better understanding. The poor can do just as much for themselves as anyone else if they are given a chance," he said. "The VISTA program hopes to eventually work themselves out of a job," he said. "We hope the day will come that there will be no poverty areas." Birckhead said that he has a long time interest in Apa lachia. Having lived in Mis souri, he came in contact with people from Apalachia, wanted to find out what it was like on the "other side." "I am interested in this type of work, and I believe in this class of people. Even though the monetary pay is small, I always benefited. . . by giving, I received. It's something you can really sink your teeth into to see your projects in the operating stage," Birckhead said. The VISTA workers sum up their stay at Nebraska by say ing that they really enjoyed themselves. The professors are extremely cooperative and the students are recep tive and interested. Sales Start Oct, 3 War CU-NU Gomel A special allotment of 2,000 tickets for the Nebraska-Colorado game at Boulder on Oc tober 22 has been set aside for student sale, according to Jim Pittenger, athletic tick et manager. "Because of the anticipat ed heavy demand f or t h e s e tickets, they will be sold at a special student sale using the policies adopted and coordi nated by the Student Senate for the Missouri game in 19(55," Pittfinger explained The tickets which are $5.00 each (there is no special stu dent rate) will be on sale out side the Ticket Office In t h e Coliseum on Oct. 3, 4, and 5 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. on each of the t h r e e days noted. The procedure, as de scribed by Pittenger will be as follows: 1. Each full-time Universi ty student may apply for one ticket only. 2. Each student must ap pear in person, producing his ID card and leaving a check with his ticket application. Applications may be obtained at the ticket table in the coli seum. 3. Those students .desiring to sit in a group mist appear together and apply for their tickets as explained. Their applications will be placed to gether and will then will bo handled as one order. May Establish NU-City The intent of Dean Peter sen, Mayor of Lincoln, to at tend the Student Senate meet ing Wednesday is a "pretty healthy sign," according to Roger D o e r r, ASUN vice president. "This is the first time that a civic leader has displayed some initiative in establish ing a liaison with the Univer sity students," Doerr com mented. AcaDrding to Doerr, this appearance by a prominent individual from Lincoln could mean that, the Univer sity is being recognized for the responsibilities its s t u dents are assuming. Doerr stated that Petersen will probably make a short presentation, followed by a period in which he will an swer questions. "I hope," continued Doerr, 'that Mayor Petersen will speak on the University growth and its impact upon the city of Lincoln. Along this line, I expect that he will touch on areas of concern be tween the students and city, such as traffic and parking." Doerr stated that it will be interesting to see Petersen's reaction to ASUN President Terry Schaaf's report on for YMCA Drops Weekend; Few Freshmen Sign Up ' The fourth annual Fresh man Weekend sponsored by the Y,MCA and YWCA has been cancelled. Alan Crews, chairman of the steering committee, said that the weekend, scheduled for Sept. 30 through Oct. 2, had to be cancelled because of expense. Crews said the sponsoring organizations would have suf fered insurmountable debts with the small number of peo ple that had signed up. Crews said that because of several failures and unavoid able circumstances, the com mittee found it impossible to acquire the minimum number of freshman needed to hold the camp. One of the major problems was that the steering com mittee received the labels bearing the freshmen's names and addresses at least six to "In the event that there are .less than 2,000 ticket orders received, all applicants will receive a ticket. In the case that there are more than 2,000 orders received, a draw ing will be held to determine those students who will re ceive the tickets," Pettingcr stressed. He added that if they de sire, the Student Senate may supervise the drawing. Sutdents may pick up their tickets at the Coliseum Tick et Office beginning Monday, Oct. 10. Pittenger stated that if all the orders cannot be filled, students who do n o t receive tickets, will be able to pick up their checks at the same time. 'Any student who does not pick up his ticket by Friday, October 14, will have his or der cancelled," Pittenger not ed. He emphasized that since there are three days set aside for ticket sales, it makes no difference If the applicant Is the first to order tickets, for as soon as the office has re ceived the 2,001 st order, there will automatically be a drawing to determine who re ceives tickets. "We have set aside three days for ordering so that all students might have a chance to order tickets, no matter what their schedule," Pitten ger concluded. eign student housing, which was made in the spring. "I would like to hear wheth er or not he thinks- that Schaaf's presentation before the Lincoln City Council went through the proper chan nels," Doerr noted. "I am also interested in finding out if he wants to see more of this action in the future." "Also in this area of foreign student housing, I am look ing forward to hearing what the mayor thinks will happen in regard to the housing con ditions facing students," Doerr said. Doerr sees the possibility of debate on the resolution by Sen. Pam Wood, which was tabled last Wednesday, that the night of Oct. 29 be closed to all campus activities ex cept the AUF dance. "This problem was dis cussed to a great extent last year before a decision was made," he pointed out. "How ever, I think there is still a great deal open to question." The question of AUF's po sition was never as carefully analyzed as possible, accord ing to Doerr. The problem, as he sees it, is whether AUF is really unique among cam pus organizations. It present- eight weeks later than was scheduled. Crews said that by the time the material reached the freshman they could not make the deadline which was printed on the brochures and so did not bother to apply. Even with a number of additional entries signed up during the first weeks of school, the committee felt that the number was not high enough to make the program a complete success. Crews said that the schedu ling of Derby Day for the same weekend had been a detrimental factor towards the Freshman Weekend. "In this case, all greek pledges are required to at tend this program, or at least requested not to be out of town for the weekend," Crews said. Crews said the Freshman Weekend is not unique to this campus, for a program of this type is carried out in many major colleges, including sev eral Big Eight and Big Ten schools. He said that in most cases the cost for such programs is higher than the program at Nebraska. "Until we can convince freshman how worthwhile this program is," Crews said, "and until we can find a scheduled weekend so as not to exclude the Greeks, It is felt that much work would have to be done to make the program as successful as it has been in the past." All those who have already signed up for the program have been notified of the can cellation and how they can re ceive a refund. 1DCC Continues Constitution Talk Discussion will be continued on the constitution for a pro posed Interdorm Council at the Interdorm Coordinating Committee (IDCC) meeting Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. in the Abel cafeteria. Budgetary allotments from each dormitory will be decid ed at the meeting, Jim Lud wig, IDCC chairman, said. The allotments will be quite small, he said, one per cent or less of the dorms' total ac tivity funds to cover the operating costs of the IDCC. A dorm workshop to be held in late October will also be organized. The workshop will be sponsored by the IDCC to train floor presidents and vice presidents. ly is the only student organi zation which has University permission to solicit money from the students. The aspect of the proposal that Doerr sees debate upon is "to what extent should ASUN get involved in. ruling or scheduling of campus ac tivities. If there is a conflict Hours Lengthened For Display Work AWS Board members vot ed Tuesday to extend visiting hours in the women's living units the week preceding Homecoming to facilitate the construction of displays co sponsored by fraternities and sororities. Visiting hours will be in ef fect from noon until closing hours Oct. 10 through Oct. 14. Sophomore and junior wom en who are involved in the construction of Homecoming displays will be granted mid night closing hours Oct. 13, the day preceding the dead line for the completion of the displays. The AWS Board stipulated that all work on the displays must be conducted outside the men's living quarters af ter 11 p.m. Barb Beckmann, AWS ju dicial vice-president, stated Films At Sheldon: 'A nti-Conformitv' Award winning films pro duced by students will be shown Friday in the Sheldon Art Gallery auditorium. The films were selected by the National Student Film Festival from four categories fiction, tiocumentary, ani mated and experimental. The festival was sponsored by the Graduate Student As sociation of the University of California, Los Angeles. A committee of graduate stu dents viewed over 75 films made by American students on a non-commercial basis. Harper's Magazine, Oct. 1965, said, ". . . student made films say as much (or more) about students their pres ent frustrations and aspira tionsas about film-making itself . . . student films are characterized by a spirit of revolt; they are anti-establishment, anti-conformity."

"However, if these new rul ings are approved, it is doubt ful they will be operational before the next fall term." Pam Hedgecock, AWS presi dent said. An election for the ratifi cation of new AWS constitu tion changes has been called for Oct. 19, said Candy May, AWS Board member. Miss May explained that orientations explaining the constitutional changes and the philosophy behind the changes will be conducted by AWS Board members for University women the week of Oct. 10-14. oped from the desire to do something about the way the world is, and suggest how it ought to be. "If there appears to be no 'party line' among the film makers, there is, at least, an obvious need to change things, and chief among these things is the art of film mak ing itself." In an article printed in Newsweek Magazine, a staff member wrote, "Whatever their theme and most of them dealt with sex, youth politics the (NSA) festival"! films showed a strong com mand of craft. The cutting was smooth, the music was synchronized and the acting intelligent." The films will be shown at 3 p.m. Friday in the Sheldon auditorium. They are being sponsored in conjunction with the Nebraska Union Film So ciety.
