Bourbon St. Blues Swing For By Nancy Henrickson Senior Staff Writer Although it is too early for Mardi Gras festivities, Sugar Bowl visitors to New Orleans will find swinging nightclubs for partying along Bourbon Street. The narrow street is the French Quarter's center of nightlife and hosts hundreds of fine restaurants and enter tainment spots. The Sugar Bowl football game attracts thousands of visitors to New Orleans at the New Year, and about 15,000 Nebraska fans will be there to see Nebraska play Alaba ma in the Bowl game. One thousand University students will be among he Cornhusker fans, ticket office manager James W. Pittenger estimated. The ticket office sold 15,000 tickets to the Sugar Bowl game to University students, Nebraskans and alumni throughout the U.S. The Su gar Bowl stadium teats 81, 000. Two planeloads of fans, in cluding 52 students and 172 alumni, will go to New Or leans on the Nebraska Union and Nebraska Alumni spon sored trips. They will stay at the Jung Hotel in New Orleans.

Charter boats for deep-sea fishing are available along the coast. Vieux Carre (the Old French Quarter) is the scene of the Creole style of archi tecture, influenced by the Spanish and French. Enclosed rear courts, balconies, wrought-iron railings and cast-iron "lace" are charac teristic of the buildings. Nebraskans may want to visit the Audubon Park Zoo of whooping cranes. The Isaac Delgado Art Mu seum in City Park is famous for its collection of Italian Renaissance paintings. The New Orleans Symphony Orchestra and the Little The atre group provide additional evening entertainment. Fall clothing is the most ap propriate for wear, the travel bureau said. Although the av erage temperature for De cember and January is 56 de grees, they suggested sweat ers and light coats because breezes of moist air comlrig off the gulf make the weather seem much cooler. Temperatures will be too chilly for swimming in the gulf, the travel agency rep resentative said. Visitors can expect rain, he said, because an average of ten days a month are rainy during January and Decem ber. The Sugar Bowl climaxes the niid-w inter sports carni val in New Orleans.

The film is for a half-hour special to be shown on Christmas Day at 5 p.m. in New Orleans. The TV sta tion representatives interviewed students on the street, asking who is going to win the Sugar Bowl game and how good they think the Nebraska team is. They took pictures of the football players and scenes on campus. The Daily Nebraskan Bennett said. Plans call for a one story addition and expansion of the present 1959 addition at exist ing ground and main level floors. When finished in some 18 to 24 months, facilities will be sufficiently expanded to accommodate an enrollment of above 20,000 students, ac cording to Bennett. Construction will be fi nanced 'by a student fee- A general registration will be conducted the second week of next semester and students may sign up for courses. The NFU classes will begin within a week aft er registration, Boardman aUded. About 25 courses, which will be headed by faculty member, graduate and un dergraduate students or or ganizations, will be offered, Boardman said, and several others will probably be or ganized. Boardman stressed that the students will also deter mine what areas of the top ics they wish to cover and how the courses will be structured. Three University instruct ors, John Davidson, profess or of bo tony; Floyd Hoover, professor of secondary edu cation; and William Tor rence, professor of business organization, will offer cours es to be entirely structured .

Of the student fee, $6.50 goes toward repayment of the original 1957 bond issue, which has been ab sorbed into the overall Uni versity bond issue. by the students. Boardman said that "if there is a group of students who can not find a leader to head their course, the group could meet without an in. structor." Some topics which will be discussed in the NFU cours es are Far Eastern religion and art, psychedelic drugs, poetry and prophecy in the Old Testament, the relation of philosophical ethics to psy chiatry, recent Italian litera ture and John Barth, who is a contemporary novelist. The psychology of humor, the cultural impact of mass media, and scientific investi gation in the social sciences will be discussed in courses led by Charles Gruner, assis tant professor of speech.

"A major part of our ex pansion problems, was that we felt the $6.50 was suf ficiently burdensome for stu dents and that it would be preferable to buy what we could with what the present fee would support," stated Bennett. "Our needs do exceed our financial ability, but we are very happy with what we were able to do in providing the essentials," he said. Bennett explained that a major part of the plans con centrates upon a sizeable ex pansion of the Crib and re location and expansion of the cafeteria. When finished the Crib will incorporate what is now the cafeteria, while that area will be moved to t h e Pan American Room. Meeting room facilities will be more than doubled, creat ing approximately 22 meet ing spaces. The present 15 student or ganization offices will be ex panded to 50, located on the third floor in the older sec tion. This area will be entire ly devoted to office space for organizations. The second floor is the larg est part of new building space, according to Bennett. The Olson: Fraternities Need 'Total Participation' By John Fryar Junior Staff Writer A program of "total par ticipation" is needed for fraternity members at t h e University, and it must come from the house presidents, according to newly elected Interfraternity Council (IFC) Treasurer Jerry Olson. Olson said that the IFC and fraternity members can "no longer be isolated". He rec ommends that IFC take an active role be it positive or negative in the proposed ASUN Bill of Rights and the Free University. He questioned whether such programs in "total education" should be left to the ASUN alorie when the fraternity system "supposedly contains so many leaders." Olson added that he did not like the phrase, "total ed ucation" but said that it is being used to describe an ac ademic environment not con cerned merly with grades or classes. Olson proposed a symposi um system where in the house presidents would de fine the problems fac ing fraternities, seek solu tions, and carry the results back to the fraternity mem bers. He said it was then the responsiblity of the IFC and its officers to carry out these 1 1 , M jiiiii S"m- Y' . . like mistletoe and a possible during the Christmas season. VOL. 90 NO. 51 addition, which will be built on top of the Crib and lounge area, will adjoin the ball room's north wall. This will create a large multiple purpose room adjoin ing the ballroom. This area will be used to seat up to 1,000 people for major as semblies, and can potentially seat 650 people for banquets, said Bennett. The basement will toe ex panded approximately 30 feet to the east and west, extend ing the first floor the same amount. As a result, the present lounge will have an increased area to the west and will also take over pres ent business office spaces. The second story addition will overhang the present pat io on the S St. entrance, making a sheltered area ad joining the lounge and new cafeteria location in good weather. Windows on the wtst side of the lounge will be removed because of the heat ing and lighting difficulties that these windows now pre sent, according to Bennett. Depending upon finances, Bennett said that a large fire place would be placed in the new lounge. Architect for the Nebraska Union expansion is Leo A. Daly and Company of Oma ha, who have been actively working on plans since early fall. decisions and conduct a chan nel of information with the rest of the system. First, Olson said, the lead ers within the IFC and the individual houses have to rec ognize that these problems exist and attempt to disband the seemingly primary goals of social life. Olson charged that such pledge activities as line-ups, all-night cleanups and house decoration detract from the actual "training" of the pledge. He added that a re evaluation of the basic tenets of fraternity living might be necessary. In addition, IFC must take an active role in enforcing all its rules, be they right or wrong, until they are changed, according to Olson. He said that such enforce ment should not be left up to the Administration. Olson said that fraternities exist on two bases, social growth and academic achieve ment (under the concept again of "total education"). He said that if a figure could be set, academic achievement should outweigh social growth three to one. The task lies in convincing presidents what is right and necessary for the system and convincing them to take ac- Cont. on Pg. 7, Col.7. i i I? F'5 ;.-A U i I? J ;J 3 :t : it I 'ii 'i 'i I it. ' .
