'Hot Nuts'
To Appear
Spring Day
The nationally known re
cording group, Doug Clark
and the Hot Nuts will appear
at the Spring May Day Dance
at the Coliseum, according to
Phil Bowen, Nebraska Union
Special Events chairman.
Bowen said there have
been "a lot of stories, most
of them rumors" circulating
about the group, which has
on occasion appeared at
dances in scanty clothing or
nude.
The Hot Nuts "will be fully
clothed" for the University
appearance, Bowen said.
The "Hot Nuts" originated
In 1955 in Chapel Hill, NC.
as the Tops. The Tops got
together to play for fra
ternity and sorority parties in
the area. A year later the
group disbanded and with a
slight reduction in personnel .
they regrouped as Doug
Clark's Combo.
The present name devel
oped from a song "Hot Nuts,"
which they popularized dur
ing their campus appear
ances. Bowen said admittance to
the dance will be limited to
University students because
of the large crowd an
ticipated. He said University
identification cards will be
checked at the door.
Executives
Formulate
Programs
ASUN executives are cur
rently formulating a commit
tee structure to execute the
Senate programs next year.
Most of the c o m m 1 1 1 e e
chairmen will be appointed
this spring, ASUN president
Dick Schulze said, so the Sen
ate should "have a head
start" for organizing its pro
grams next fall.
The Bill of Rights will have
priority at present he said,
and a group will meet with
the Faculty Committee on
Student Affairs next week to
discuss the document.
Review Rights
The faculty committee will
review the Bill of Rights and
make recommendations to the
Board of Regents.
The Bill "will be incorpor
ated as amendments to the
ASUN constitution," Schulze
said, provided it receives ap
proval from the Regents.
They will probably make a
decision within two or three
weeks.
Opposing Amendment!
He added that no further
action has been taken con
cerning the two opposing
housing amendments in the
Bill which both received stu
dent approval at the Senate
elections.
Senate executives will also
reorganize the Advisory
Board Committee. This com
mittee will work . with both
the colleges which have ad
visory board constitutions and
with those which will be draft
ing constitutions in the near
future.
Student Employes
A Student Employe Com
mittee will be set up, Schulze
said, to "investigate the com
pensation of student employ
es" at the University.
This new committee will
also "handle student griev
ances". He said the committee will
also "handle student griev
ances," concerning wages.
Study Expenditures
Another committee will be
established to conduct a study
of "the expenditures of stu
dents fees and dormitory rev
enue," he continues.
The groups will make sug
gestions on how "this money
could be better allocated,
Schulze said, when Univer
sity officials are figuring the
budget this summer.
An Incorporation Committee
will also be set up to explore
the projects ASUN could un
dertake now that Senate is
legally incorporated.
The Publicity Committee
will be subdivided, Schulze
said, and one group will be
concerned with ASUN public
relations within the state and
another group will focus on
Senate publicity on the campus.

Committee's Analysis
To Face Discussion
By Julie Morris
Senior Writer
The report of the Ad Hoc
Housing Committee, released
a week ago, faces discussion
and votes by faculty and stu
dent groups in the next two
days.
ASUN deals with the report
Wednesday and the Faculty
Senate Subcommittee on Stu
dent Affairs begins discus
sions on the 11-page report
Thursday.
Ad Hoc Committee Chair
man Marv Almy was confi
dent Tuesday that both groups
would approve the report. If
such is the case, the commit
tee's recommendations which
took six weeks to complete,
will go to the Board of Re
gents for final approval. If the
Regents okay the report the
recommendations will become
University housing policy.

G. Robert Ross, vice chan
cellor and dean of student af
fairs, said he could not pre
dict the Faculty Senate com
mittee action on the report.
"My initial reaction is fav
orable. The committee dealt
with housing policy in a very
realistic manner," Ross com
mented. Freshmen Required
In a list of ten recommen
dations the 11-member com
mittee advised Universi
ty housing policy be altered
to require all freshmen to live
on campus. All women stu
dent? are now required to live
on campus.
The committee also recom
mended that sophomores live
on campus or in "specially
approved" (such as Nettleton
Manor) off-campus housing
and that junior and seniors
could choose any housing as
long as it was at least "gen
erally approved" University
E-Week
The 55th year of Engineer's
Week begins Thursday with
two events set for the first
day and three events sched
uled for Friday.
E-Week's major display,
the open house, to be held in
Ferguson, Richards, Stout
and Bancroft Halls, Avery
Lab and the M & N Build
ing from 2-10 p.m. Thursday,
will feature scale models of
everyday engineering pheno
menon. Display Projects
Each engineering depart
ment will display a project at
the affair, which attracted
over 10,000 persons last year,
Dennis Schulte, an E-Week
committee member, laid
Tuesday.
Displays include a model
well constructed by several
agricultural engineers which
traces the underground path
water takes into the well, enA
an inertia welder, sponsored
by the mechanical engineers,
which uses friction to weld
metals together.
Highway Model
The Civil Engineers will
display a cross-section model
of an interstate highway
showing the different layers
and materials used in its con
struction, while the electrical
engineers will sponsor an ex
hibit containing a keyboard
combining different sound
waves, to produce musical
tones.
Schulte added that the En
gineering Mechanics Depart
ment will display five exhib
its in Bancroft Hall testing
items such as concrete and
beams.
E-Week continues that night

M
ay Receive Key Privileges
AWS Board passed a mo
tion, Tuesday, expanding the
present senior key system in
order that all junior and sen
ior women and all women
over 21 who meet the eligi
bility requirements may par
ticipate in the system.
"Each girl who is eligible
to participate in the key sys
tem and who desires to do so
will pay AWS a deposit of
$1.60 as soon as she receives
permission to participate in
the system.
Permanent Fund
"This money will be put
into a permanent fund to pro
vide for replacement of cylin
der and keys in the event
that a key is lost from a living
unit," according to the mo
tion presented by senior key
chairman Mimi Rose.
The philosophy behind the
senior key system presents a
two-fold problem when the
program is expanded, accord
ing to Miss Rose.
Senior Privilege?
It must be decided "wheth

housing.
Students 21 and over would
be allowed to choose any
housing, while those under 21
would need written parental
permission to live off campus.
The report was prepared by
a joint faculty-student com
mittee formed as a result of
ASUN resolutions asking for
clarification of University
housing policy.
Four of the committee
members presented minority
reports.
Ron Pfeiffer, Susie Phelps
and Dr. Floyd Hoover drafted
a minority report arguing that
freshmen should be urged,
but not required to live on
campus.
Assistant Dean of Student
Affairs, Helen Snyder, has
reportedly prepared a one
member minority report. The
report has not been general
ly distributed and Miss Sny
der was reported unavailable
for comment on the document
Tuesday.

Engineering classes will be
dismissed for the convocation
and for the rest of the after
noon to attend the Field Day
events which will climax ath
letic events which have been
held between the various en

last four weeks.
Field Day
The Field Day, to be held

Rose stated.
The question of maturity
arises also when the key sys
tem is expanded to include
juniors and all 21-year olds.
According to Ann Windle,
AWS President, the key sys

many schools, and has been
successful because it has
Regents Want Survey On
Dorm Coed-Visiting Hours
Delaying action indefinite
ly on coed-visiting hours, the
coed-visiting hours commit
tee will work with admini
strative personnel in compil
ing a comprehensive campus
evaluation survey requested
by the Board of Regents.
In rejecting the groups' re
quest for coed-visiting hours,
the Regents directed admin
istration to prepare a fact
finding report on available
and needed space for recrea
tion and social activities.
Work On Report
After meeting with G. Ro
bert Ross, dean of student af
fairs, Tuesday, coed-visiting
hours chairman Dave Shon
ka said his committee will
work on the report from the
angle of the dormitory resi
dents. The committee, which ex
pects to complete its report
within three weeks will work
closely with Dick Scott, assis
tant to the dean of student
affairs and although the com
mittee hasn't met with Scott
yet, Shonka said "his work
in the outdoor recreational
areas will be invaluable to
us."
Shonka said his committee
would work with Scott and
administration in assessing
campus-wide recreation, cul
tural and social assets and
needs.
Assets and Needs
The expected 30 to 40 page
report will contain informa
tion on various areas the in
dividual residence halls have
compiled into a four page re
port that will identify their
assets and future needs, Shon
ka added.
Award, presented to the fresh
man engineering student with
the highest grade average,
will also be given.

responsibility of the keys.
Less Incentive
If the proposal of the Ad
Hoc Housing Committee goes
through to allow junior and
senior women to live off-campus,
the expansion of the key
system will provide less in
centive for women to move
off-campus, according to
The completed report will
contain recommendations
from each residence hall as
well as for the entire cam
pus, Shonka added, and also
for future residence hall com
plexes. The report w ill include
study on additional indoor
and outdoor recreational fa
cilities, the possibility of
bringing personnel from the
University Counseling Service
into the halls for private dis
cussions with residents and
of scheduling classes in the
residence halls and an inves
tigation of areas that stu
dents can get together pri
vately whether in the indi
vidual student rooms or else
where. Evaluation Report
After the residence hall re
ports are received by the
coed-visiting hours commit
tee, the committee will edit
them and include them in
their comprehensive report
evaluating present situations
on campus and make recom
mendations for future chang
es. The committee will turn
this report over to Ross who,
after assessing it, will pre
sent it to the Board of Re
gents. Chairman Successor
At the group's Monday
night meeting, Shonka ap
pointed Gary Grahnquist, the
newly-elected Abel-S a n d o z
activities chairman, as his
successor as committee
chairman beginning next fall.
Shonka added that since he
may not return to the Uni

Also passed at the B o a r d

reason to "hold up the pro
cess" and that he will direct
the committee the remainder
of this year.
"Gary has been interested
in coed-visiting hours and he
is the logical successor to tht
post, Shonka said.
Grahnquist, a freshman in
pre-law from Omaha, said
that he would begin trying to
find other committee mem
bers from across campus. At
present, all coed-visiting
hours members are from the
Abel-Sandoz complex and, he
said, adding campus- wide
representatives would "be a
better means of communica
tion." Group Has Support
He added that the group
has the support of the Abel
Sandoz student assistants and
residence directors but it
"would be nice to have the
support of residence hall
personnel all over."
He said that IDA president
John Fryar is presently look
ing for additional coed-visiting
hours committee mem
bers and should announce his
prospects shortly.
Although he said future
plans for coed-visiting hours
were indefinite, he indicated
that "if and when coed-visiting
hours come up again, we
will seek ASUN support for
the measure."
Shonka added that he wantt
to keep the committee func
tioning the remainder of thii
semester and next year'
committee will implement
the present report in the
areas of recreational facili
ties and social aspects.
