V I FC: Pledge Trainers Need To Heed Times By Dave Buntain Junior Staff Writer Fraternities have "sat around too long and told themselves lies "about pledge training, Ron Pfeif fer, Phi Delta Theta pledge trainer told the Junior In terfraternity Council (IFC), Tuesday night. Pfeiffer and three other iuiernity leaders discussed their views of pledgeship and pledge training at Jun ior IFC forum. The panel also included John Kenagy, Phi Gamma Delta; Wayne Kreuscher, Theta Xi; and Gary Larsen, Beta Sigma Psi. "Fraternity men are caught in a rut of complac ency," Pfeiffer said. "They are satisfied to step into the mold that old fraternity men have left for them. Pledges are not getting the variety cf experiences the Rush Book says they will get." Among the areas under attack by the panel were traditional attitudes, pledge education and physical haz ing. "The fraternity system is IDA Constitution: Date Set On Vote By Mark Gordon Junior Staff Writer A revised Interdorm As sociation (IDA) constitution, proposed by the Interdorm Coordinating Committee (IDCC), will be voted on by dormitory residents on Feb. 21 and 23. On Feb. 21 residents of dormitories presently on the IDCC (Women's Resi dence, Pound, Cather, Ab el, Sandoz, Burr West, Burr East, Love Memorial and Fedde Halls and Selleck Quad) will decide if they are to become members of the IDA and also if they desire an election on t h e proposed constitution. If at least two-thirds of the dormitories agree to those measures, they will hold another election on Feb. 23 to decide the fate of the constitution. The constitution provides if at least 30 per cent of the eligible voters vote, a simple majority would rat ify the constitution or an affirmative vote of 15 per cent of the eligible voters if less than 30 per cent of the eligible voters vote would also ratify the measure. In the event the residents vote not to hold a ratifica tion election, the constitu tion will be returned to the IDCC for further study. If the measure is ratified, the IDCC will disband, as it was established simply to Lloyd To Speak Of 'Arts' Dr. Norman Lloyd, direc tor of the arts program for the Rockefeller Foun dation in New York City, will be the guest speaker at the University of Ne braska's sixth annual Week end With Music Friday and Saturday.

"There is a different type of indi--vidual coming to the Uni versity now. Tha fraterni ties are not changing with him. We must develop an attitude toward pledge training that is geared to him." Pfeifer agreed, "Frater nities have yet to prove that they are a genuine aid" to scholarship. I look forward to the day when we can say to pledges, 'You're here for an education and we'll 1 e t you go after it on your own. We're here if you need any help.' " Turning to the area of physical hazing, Larsen said that if a fraternity can not justify membership in the house without assigning push-ups, then "somebody has failed you." "It hardly takes any brains to give a guy 25 push ups," Larsen said. Pledge training is the basis of the fraternity sys tem year after year, Pfeifer noted. "It is far too easy for a draft a satisfactory consti tution that residents would accept. Although the constitution was defeated six to four by the dorms in an earlier vote during first semester, IDCC Chairman Jim Ludwig fore sees ratification of, the bill. "I think the constitution will be ratified as it is more complete than when it was first voted on," he said, "There have been changes, not changes in philosophy but changes in organization. That's what the people who opposed it the last time complained about." Reflecting back to the first election, Ludwig said he will try to eliminate the past objection of insuffici ent publicity concerning the constitution. If the constitution is ap proved, the residents of all dormitories .will be mem bers of the IDA. Dorms that voted against the bill will be members also. Representation on the Inter-Dormitory Council would be set up as fol lows: The representatives shall be selected from the dormi tories on a fixed ratio of one voting representative for each 250 Association members or fraction of 60 per cent of the ratio and every dormitory shall have at least one voting repre sentative.

A pledges 's experiences will influence the course of the house in future years." he added. "You are the Greek sys tem now," Kreuscher re minded Junior IFC mem bers, "And your pledge classes will have the largest unified voice in your active chapters once you are acti vated." "Pledges are in the per fect position to influence their chapter toward a more constructive pledge ship," Kenagy added. Architects' To Design City Plans A program of coopera tion has begun between the University of Nebraska School of Architecture and Nebraska towns. Students of Dr. George T. C. Peng, associate pro fessor of architecture, are assisting Nebraska towns in long-range community planning and urban design. Already published are plans for Henderson, D e s h 1 e r and Falls City. Work has begun on plans for Danne brog, DeWitt, Emerson and Elwood. The students' services will soon be utilized by Omaha and Lincoln, Dr. Peng said. The 15-20 students in volved are enrolled in cours es in urban design and com munity planning at the Uni versity. Dr. Peng said the program of working with town and city planners gives the students a chance to move from the realm of theory to the realm of the practical, the real. Dr. Peng fields requests from towns for help in planning their growth. When possible, he assigns student teams to work with the planners in the town. But he has to turn down some towns because of lack of students or distance in volved. One town which was not turned down is Henderson. Two new streets have been opened. Total park area is being increased from one-half acre to 71 acres. All the streets have been improved. A new in dustry has located there (exactly where the students' plan called for one).

In addition to earning $220 a month, the Unicam eral pages learn a great deal about the intricacies of our rtate legislature, she added.

The test will be adminis tered in Nebraska at Lin c o 1 n, McCook, Norfolk, Omaha, Scottsbluff and Kearney. "A score of 70 or above should defer any college student who is registered for at least 12 hours," Hen ninger said.

Miss Thiesen says that working as a page is an excellent opportunity to get to know the senators per sonally. She said that she was amazed at the amount of work expected of the le gislators and at how well they keep their sense of humor in every kind of sit uation. Barb Tincher, a former University of Nebraska stu dent now working as a page, describes the neces sary qualifications for her job. You must be willing to do a lot of walking and "you have to be able to sit a long time."

The Senate meeting will be held in the ballroom of the Nebraska Union at 4 p.m. "In clarifying my belief that the increase in tuition is inevitable," Schaaf ex plained, "I should say that this does not include out-of-state tuition, which I be lieve will not increase." Schaaf stated that stu dents should take a f i r m stand in favor of a token in crease of $25 to $30. "If we show that the stu dents are willing to do o u r share, to fulfill our end of the bargain, then we would be in the political position of being able to ask the Leg islature and the people of the state to do their share."

Schaaf said this feeling is based on the fact that a $100 increase in tuition would only raise $1,700,000 a year, which when compared with the present state expendi tures of ninety-one million dollars, is "only a drop in the bucket." Concerning the proposed merger of the University with OU, Schaaf said, "I am not presently convinced that the merger is in the best interest of the Univer sity. "It depends on whether or not the Legislature approves enough money to facilitate both the merger and the accomplishment of the programs outlined in the proposed University budg et," Schaaf continued. "If enough money is n o t granted to cover both of these factors, I believe that the merger can only be dis advantageous to the University." READ NEBRASKAN WANT ADS a- j
