SUGAR BOWL HEADQUARTERS ... give New Orleans-bound
students and faculty a preview of the
week's pre-bowl festivities.
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

Louisiana's being called a
sportsman's paradise for sail

Charter boats for deep-sea
fishing are available along the
coast.
Vieux Carre (the Old

of the Creole style of archi

Spanish and French. Enclosed

wrought-iron railings and

Nebraskans may want to

The Isaac Delgado Art Mu

for its collection of Italian

The New Orleans Symphony

Fall clothing is the most ap
propriate for wear, the travel
bureau said. Although the av
erage temperature for De

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

CAMERAMEN from television station WDSU, Channel 6, New Orleans, took
pictures on the University campus Thursday. 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.

Bennett said.
Plans call for a one story
addition and expansion of the
present 1959 addition at exist

18 to 24 months, facilities will
be sufficiently expanded to
accommodate an enrollment
of above 20,000 students, ac

A general registration will
be conducted the second

About 25 courses, which
will be headed by faculty
member, graduate and un

ganizations, will be offered,
Boardman said, and several
others will probably be or

the students will also deter

how the courses will be

The remainder is routed by
the Comptroller's office to the
Union to pay for all non-income
producing functions of
the building and to provide
a program of activity events.
"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

third floor in the older sec

The second floor is the larg

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

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.

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-
