House Inspections Find Most
Health, Safety Conditions Good
A study of the health and
safety conditions of Universi
ty fraternities, sororities and
cooperatives has indicated no
glaring deficiencies, E. W.
Simpson, C b i e f of the En
vironmental Health and Safe
ty Division of the University
Health Services, said
Wednesday.
With only five houses re
in aining to be inspected,
Simpson said the survey,
evaluating the houses safety,
fire safety, food service, hous
ing and sanitation facilities,
is taken as "it is our respon
sibility to see that the house
is safe to live in.
He said that for the first
time, a house, the Kappa Del
ta sorority, had no safety or
health deficiencies and that
several other sororities also
had less than three deficien
cies to remove.
Simpson added that several
areas could use additional
improvement in a majority of
the living establishments.
Additional Improvement
He said a manual fire
alarm and pull system should
be installed on each floor of
the residence as it "w o u 1 d
aid in the evacuation of per
sons in case of a fire.
Another problem that con

Students Give Approval
To Rights Bill In Election
By Cheryl Tritt
Senior Staff Writer
University students gave
strong approval to the Bill of
Rights in the Senate elections
last Wednesday by voting to
accept all sixteen amend
ments. A discrepancy was shown
in the housing amendments
vote as students approved
both an alternative amend
ment and the amendment sub
mitted by a petition spon
sored by the SDS.
The SDS amendment states
that "each student has the
right to choose his own living
environment."
Alternate Article
In opposition to this amend
ment the alternative Article
Five states that students may
have an "equitable role in the
formulation of housing policy
which allows maximum indi
vidual choice."
Newly installed ASUN pres
ident Dick Schulze said he
will "seek legal advice about
the implementation of the Bill
of Rights and especially Arti
cle Five.
The Bill of Rights will now
be turned over to the Office
of Student Affairs, Schulze
said, and they will make rec
ommendations about the bill
to the Board of Regents.
Action la May
He continued the Board of
crowded sleeping spaces
along with inadequate d i s b
washers. He said that if house addi
tions are needed, the plans
are reviewed before construc
tion begins to eliminate addi
tional confusion when the ad
dition is completed.
"T h e drinking glasses
aren't adequately being
washed as many boys are in
a hurry to go somewhere,
be said, "and the tempera
tures on the rents of dish
washers should be 130 de
grees.' He added that throughout
the 11 years he has been in
specting facilities, the houses
have been improving each
year because "they them
selves want to do it," he said.
He added that bouses have
improved is areas such as
adequate fire escapes, clean
er rooms, better dishwashing
and storage areas and re
placing plastic wastebaskets
with metal containers.
"I have talked with the stu
dents and they are pleased
with the program and they
are quite cooperative when I
visit them, he added.
Visits
During the visits, lasting
about 45 minutes, Simpson
first makes an appointment
Philip BrowneU
presently Corporate Vice
President and Manager of
the Packaging Division of 01
in Mathieson Chemical Cor
poration. He served the Fed
eral Government in several
capaicities between 1941 and
1946 as a member of the
Lend Lease Administration,
of the Board of Economic
Welfare, the War Production
Board, and the Counsel to Na
tional Wage Stabilization
Board.
Regents will probably take
action upon the Bill before
the end of May. If the Re
gents approve the Bill, it will

pleted, a report regarding the
findings is mailed to the
house and the alumni chapter
so that the deficiences can
be corrected.

two weeks to complete is con

Food Sanitation
Each fall, a food handlers
institute is held to acquaint
persons involved in food han
dling with various food sani
tation measures.
It is mandatory for persons
to attend the hour-long ses
sions to renew their food
handlers permit, he said, and
the sessions "provide a good
training for all University
bufboys. cooks and others."
Besides inspecting the liv
ing units, he also inspects the
university's food services on
both the city and agriculture
campuses and the College of
Medicine in Omaha, along
with the University's sis ex
perimental farms across the
state.
"AH across the campus, the
food service is excellent," he
concluded.

The recommendations of
the committee are:
(1) Freshmen may live in
any type of on-campus living
unit. "The Committee recog
nizes that distinct educative
values are to be derived by
living in a university enviro
ment on a twenty-four hour
day basis," the report states.
Sophomores
(2) Sophomores may live in
on-campus housing or in spe
cially approved off-campus
housing.
(3) Juniors and seniors
may live in on-campus hous
ing, specially approved off
campus housing or generally
approved off-campus housing.
(4) All students over 21 may
live in any type of University
approved housing. He must
have reached 21 by October
1 of the academic year of the
request.
Parental Approval
(5) All students under 21
will need written parental ap
proval to move into either
type of off-campus housing.
(6) There should be a per
manent housing commit
tee consisting of students, fa
culty . and administrators to
evaluate housing and deci
sions. (7) Due to unusual circum
stances which cannot be for
seen by the Committee, the
Dean of Student Affairs ex
ercises discretionary powers
to make exceptions for stu
dents. A specially constituted
board of faculty and students
would serve as an appellate
board to hear appeals of stu
dents. Discrimination

scrimination on the basis of

ver concurring.
The minority report states
that there is a small minority
of freshmen that should not be
forced to live on campus. The
author's opinion is that fresh
men should be urged to live
on campus as freshmen, but
it should not be demanded.
Class Standing
The report states that the
committee decided to consid
er the element of class stand
ing and student age in decid
ing which students could live
in the three types of Univer
sity housing.

Comhusker Posts
On April 24 interviews for
Cornhusker editor, associate
editors, managing editors and
business manager will con
tinue. Interviews for Cornhusker
were held last week, but will
be continued. Applications for
paid positions will be accept
ed through March 16.
The Cornhusker staff will
hold interviews for section
editors the week after the
new editors are announced.
University approved hous
ing as defined by the Board
of Regents in 1958, must meet
basic physical health needs,
basic mental health needs,
protections against contag
ious disease and accidents.
The committee agreed that
these are needed "to insure
the type of environment which
makes it possible for the stu
dent to best benefit from a
university education."
Freshman Housing
The report says that the
committee agreed that fresh
men should live in an on-campus
housing situation. The
needs of a freshman could
"best be met in an on-campus
enviroment and are nec
essary to the maturation of
the student which comple
ments the formal University
education."
The recommendations al
low for more individual
choice once the student com
pletes a year of study at the
University.
"This housing policy is one
that will give a student the
experience and benefits of
group living and also the op
portunity to live in housing
of his choice where he makes
his own living decisions. This
will not be an inflexible hous
ing policy," the report states.
Committee Recommends
The committee recommend
ed using class standing for
the purpose of housing.
"As there may be some
question as to how this policy
will affect AWS, it should be
pointed out that a system of
hours is a social regulation
and not a question of hous
ing policy. It will be for the
women who remain on cam
pus to decide the future role
of AWS," the report contin
ues. The committee suggested
t h a t a permanent housing
committee could try- to an
swer the questions concern
ing current housing situations
on campus, as: Are the pro
grams in the dormitories,
Greek houses and co-ops of
fering the type of group liv
ing experience that is most
desirable? Are the counseling
services in University hous
ing units adequate to meet
the demands of this policy?
G. Robert Ross, vice-chancellor
and dean of student af
fairs, said the report will first
go to ASUN. then the Facul
ty Senate Committee on Stu
dent Affairs, the chancellor,
and finally to the Board of
Regents this spring.
Committee member Marv
Almy said that the members
"looked at it from an educa
tional point of view." He
called it a workable plan, and
easy to install.
Advising Students
He indicated that the Uni
versity Housing Office is ad
vising students about next
year's housing with the as
sumption that the recommen
dation will go into effect as
policies next fall.
Almy said they were at
least making preparations to
operate next year under th
recommendations as policy.
