Artificial Snow Stages Scene
Of Crescent Ski Hills In Iowa

By Dan Looker
Junior Staff Writer
" It looks like many other ski
runs in the United States ex
cept that a muddy creek me
anders through cornfields in
the valley below instead of
the usual rocky stream
hidden by pines and aspens.
Also, the fact that the snow
ends at the sides of the slope
may seem strange at first.
But as your skis bounce over
the mogels (mounds of snow)
and as the snow flies from
the ends of your skis one al
most forgets that this is Iowa
instead of Colorado and that
the snow is artificial.
Crescent Ski ITills is located
north of Council Bluffs, Iowa,
a 70 minute drive from the
University downtown cam

Study-Action . . .
Advisory Board Sets Up
Course Survey Groups
Five study-action groups
are being established by
the Arts and Sciences Ad
visory Board to study areas
such as survey courses and
the possibility of setting up
interdisciplinary courses.
Gene Pokorny, chairman
of the advisory board, said
that the programs are de
signed to stress student
feed-back on the following
topics: Survey courses and
their improvement; semes
ter and credit hour changes,
interdisciplinary courses,
the honors program, and
the college advising pro
gram. Pokorny said that the ad
visory board has been dis
cussing these topics, but
that the members decided
that the opinions, ideas, and
resources of the students
were needed and should be
used.
"The purpose of these
study groups would be to
meet several times, to ana
lyze the specific problems,
arrive at possible solutions,
and to recommend action
for the advisory board and
college to follow," he said.

As one skier from Colorado
noted, "Of course it's n o t
like the mountains but it's a
lot more than I expected to
find around here. It's a good
place to keep in practice."
The ski area is in its sixth
season, and is one of four ski
resorts in Iowa. The other
three are at Estherville (near
Lake Okaboji) at Dubuque,
and at Mt. Vernon.
The key to the success of
Crescent Ski Hills lies with
its artificial snow. Skiing re
quires several feet of snow
cover and with the frequent
thaws and moderate precip
itation of the plains artificial
snow becomes a necessary
supplement.

The groups would hope
fully determine whether or
not a change is needed in
these areas, and if so, whe
ther such a change is pos
sible, according to Pokorny.
He urged that any Arts
and Science student, who is
interested in student educa
tional involvement and in
seeing action in these areas,
come to the groups which
will be held at 8:00 p.m. in
the Nebraska Union on
these dates:

He also recommended
that students express their
opinions on the topics to
members of the student ad

are:
Kathy Augustis, Nancy

Gayle Smith, John Drodow,
Larry Teply, and Rod Bas

could not afford to pay the
$95 a month house or dorm
bill in addition to tuition
charges.
Financial reasons are not
recognized as grounds for
exemption from the r u I e,
according to Helen Snyder,
associate dean of student
affairs.
The coed intends to d i s
cuss the problem further
with Miss Snyder, when the
latter returns from an out-of-town
meeting Thursday,
she said.
Miss Flaugher faces the
possibilities of moving into
Nettleton Manor, working,
securing a loan or dropping
out as a full-time student.

The grant will support
three $1,000 awards in rec

the University faculty. The
remaining $2,000 is unre

Ski Hills Corporation, de
scribed the snow making pro
cess. "When the temperature
gets down around 29 degrees
snow can be made by spray
ing a combination of com
pressed air and water onto
the slope."
"We have two hoses, carry
ing the air and water, run
n i n g underground up t h e
hill," Jacobus continued. "We
connect ten 'guns' to them
which spray the mixture over
the ground. This turns into
snow before it falls on t h e
slope."
"The secret of the whole
thing is regulating the pres
sure at which the mixture
comes out of the gun," he
said. "The pressure has to be
adjusted at every change in
temperature and atmospheric
pressure."
Jacobus said that Crescent
National
A vast majority of Amer
icans may favor drafting
young men for military ser
vice, a recent Lou Harris
poll indicates, but not many
of the experts at the Na
tional Conference on the
Draft in Washington D.C.
could agree on how it should
be done.
Nevertheless, with the
present draft law coming
up for Congressional review
next summer, conference
participants, as guests of
the American Veterans
Committee, were intent on
outlining the present alter
natives. Volunteer Impossible
What few initial objections
there were to conscription it
self were snowed by the
apparent impossibility of
raising our present army
through volunteers.
The draft itself has not
supplied the military with
more than a "residual"
number of men since 1948,
according to Dr. Harold
Wool, the Pentagon's Direc
tor for Procurement Policy.
Wool said he doubted
whether financial induce
ments alone could attract
enough volunteers. To main
tain an army of the present
proportions, he indicated, a
large number of men
would be needed who are
"basically not inclined to
military service careers."
Beyond a certain point, pay
increases would not bring
in significantly more peo
ple, Wool explained.

The head instructor is Joe
Harman. Harman was raised
in Alaska and has skied in the
Junior Division of the Nation
al Championships. His wife,
Micki, also teaches skiing.
The other two instructors
are Paul Steuri, from Switzer
land, and Paul Nyholn. "You
can take a lesson here and
pick up where you left off
anywhere in the U n i t e d
States," Jacobus added.
Jacobus said that the ski
season at Crescent runs from
Dec. 15 to Mar. 15, "although
we don't always make it, de
pending on the weather."
The area features night ski
ing from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on
week nights and is open to
skiing from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
on week-ends.
An all day tow ticket costs
$4 and the rental for skiis,
boots, and poles is $3.50.

said, if the manpower pool

Little advocated the pres

their personal, community
identification functions but
only as local appeal boards,
the function they now serve
in effect.
Carpenter:
To Tuition
A state senator said
Wednesday the Legislature
will probably go along with
recommendations for a Un
iversity tuition hike unless
"somebody gives them some
reason not to."
Scottsbluff Sen. Terry
Carpenter, a veteran legis
lator, suggested that the
University students "should
c o 1 1 e c t i v e 1 y go to the
Legislature on a certain day
contact their senators, sit
down with them and at
tempt to convince them that
tuition should not be
raised."
Gov. Norbert Tiemann
Monday recommended resi
dent tuition hike of $95 a
year and a non-resident tui
tion increase of $69 a year
for university students.
The state can "well af
ford" to give the University
more funds without raising
tu.tion, Carpenter said.
He said the proposed state
sales and income taxes will
Student's Protest
Of Required Oath
A University student's
protest against the requir
ed loyalty oath in the Na
tional Defense Education
Act is presently being
"evaluated" by the Ameri
can Civil Liberties Union,
according to Lincoln Attor
ney Pat Healy.
Healy, the Lincoln repre
sentative for the ACLU,
said that one difficulty
which must be solved in the
Dan Dickmeyer protest ac
tion is that no money ac
tually changed hands.
Consequently, the basis
upon which litigation may
be requested is under study.
Mrs. Al Spangler, wife of
philosophy graduate stu
dent Al Spangler, is also
involved in litigation con
cerning loyalty oaths, in
this case as a requisite for
state employment.
There are similarities be
tween the cases, Healy ob
served, and it is a national
trend that most loyalty
oaths have been thrown out
by the courts.
Little also took issue with
the permanent deferment
classification system. As it
was originally established,
an administrative device
for temporarily sorting man
power during an emergen
cy, classification had little
aggregate impact on the
population, Little said.
However, he continued,
when the classification
schedule is used in a larg
er time perspective, ' it be
comes a "series of ap
proved behavior patterns

generate ever more state
funds.
Carpenter said he would
not agree to a tuition in
crease even if it were less
than the amount rec
ommended by Tiemann.
"In this case I don't think
they (lawmakers) should
compromise, I don't think
they should raise tuition a
quarter," he said.
Carpenter said the Univer
sity is "shortchanging many
students." Tuesday he said
that "in some classes (Uni
versity) they have the Wind
leading the blind."
"In the Physics Depart
ment they have graduate
students doing the teaching
who only gain understand
ing of the specific problem
before the class that day
and sometimes not even
that," Carpenter said.
He said "If Mr. Hardin
would get out of his pent
house and his ivory tower,

with profound implications
for affecting occupational
choices."
Such "channeling" into
higher status categories,
such as student and "na
tional interest" job classifi
cations, "should not be the
function of a military man

cy," Little stated.
Not everyone was disen
chanted with selective clas

on and not have to take
somebody else's word for
it."
"Any institution with
17,000 students should not be
considered a sideline," Car
penter said.
Two years ago when the
Legislature voted to raise
student tuition, Carpenter
proposed a student march
on the Statehouse to protest
the move.
Rather than march, how
ever, students circulated a
petition asking senators not
to approve the hike.

cated continuation of defer
ments and even institution
of exemptions for students
and employees in critical
skill areas.
Pointing to the rapid ex
pansion of knowledge in
these fields, one biologist
noted that a young scientist
may fall hopelessly behind
if he takes several years
out in the beginning of his
career. "Training with a
short half-life had better be
interrupted before it be
gins," he said.
Abolish Deferments
Others sought to have all
student and occupational
deferments abolished, point
ing out that such defer
ments often amount to de
facto exemptions which
they claimed are unfair to
those who lacked the oppor
tunity to study.
Besides, several educa
tors noted, in most fields a
break in the college years
makes students much fresh

ty inherent in the system
when, during peacetime the
induction age can climb to
