The open fwrting which
followed was packed by a gal

leaders.
REGENTS OPEN-MINDED
The Board gave no indica
tion they favor a change to
deferred rush, by postponing
a decision on the question.
"It was very hard to tell

Speakers", Miss Madson said.
These speakers include poet
Paul Roche and playwright
Arthur Cantor.
"We are also attempting
to bring a major political
speaker here," she said.
MUSICAL TALENT
The Speaker-Artist Series
was initiated Sept. 22 with a
jazz concert by Cal Tjader.
Other performers scheduled
are Los Indios Tabajaras,
Brazilian singing duo, Charles

actor and singer, violinst

pianist Leonard Pennario,

the closed door session. "The
Regents seemed to be very
open-minded about the ques
tion." Hohensee singled out Chan
cellor Clifford M. Hardin
and Vice-Chancellor Robert
E. Ross as the two parti
cipants in the closed session
who seemed to favor deferred
rush.
DISCUSSION SESSION
He termed the meeting "a
discussion session on deferred
rush and the present system.
We made quite a point that
we were in favor of maintain
ing the present system."
Hohensee said he was sur
prised that, "most of the
points administrative officials
made were trivial ones at a
University of our size."
Among the things which in
terested the Regents were
how many students drop out
of school because of bad rush
experiences, how many Rush
Week participants are not
pledged and the reasons that
more chapters have not been
started, Hohensee said.
He said the Greek repre
sentatives pointed out that
only two women in the last
six years have dropped out of
school because of rush. No
figures are available for the
men.
He said that some rushecs
could not be pledged because
there are not enough house
spaces to accommodate all
those who want to pledge.

Love-In Causes Traffic Ja
As 7,000 Fill
By MICK LOWE
Senior Staff Writer
It was a lovely day for a
love-in Sunday afternoon, and
thousands of Lincolnites stu
dents, hippies, teenagers and
assorted hangers-on - turned
out in Lincoln's Pioneer Park
in force to prove it
Estimates of the crowds at
the love-in are difficult be
cause thousands of observers
came, stayed for a few min
utes and left, but an official
of the Park Patrol put the
figure at 7,000.
One student reported that
traffic was backed up from
the entrance to Pioneer Park
to Gooch's Mill, a distance
of three miles, at mid-afternoon.
At that point the park was
started in the last five years,
he added, but the Greek lead
ers are hesitant to encourage
more growth until these chap
ters become strong.
"We pointed out that we
haven't had any indication
why the Regents are inter
ested in deferred rush," Ho
hensee said.
REGENTS HELP
The Board said they would
' Buggest some specific areas
of concern to aid the groups
in preparing their reports,
he added.
"We have little choice on
whether or not we prepare a
report. But we are going to
make it very clear that we
do not favor such a change.
We're positive that it would
create more problems than .
we have with early rush, Ho
hensee said.
In its first report, presented
to the Regents Friday, IFC
refused to recommend a pro
posal for a deferred rush sys
tem. The Panhellenic report
included two suggestions for
implementing deferred rush.
One suggestion ealled for
deferring rush a semester, the
other for a year
During the open session,
Hohensee read a letter signed
by all University bouse pres
idents, supporting the conclu
sions reached in the IF'C and
Panhellenic reports.
Most of the house presidents
wore among the gallery of
Greek leaders who assembled
to watch the Board meeting.

BAREFOOT IX THE PARK
Lincoln's first love-in.
closed, so many who wished
to attend the love-in never
got there.
QUITE A MIXTURE "
It was, as one observer re
marked, "quite a mixture of
people."
The crowd ranged from a
one-year-old diaper-clad baby
who continually walked a few
halting steps and fell in rhy
thm to the music of the An
telope Pavilion, to a motor
cycle gang who seemed to
consider themselves Lincoln'
adjunct of the Hell's Angels
"The Outcasts."
The announced purpose of
the love-in was to "come and
do your thing," and a few did
just that.
Some danced to the big beat
of the Pavilion, some blew
soap bubbles, and a few faith
ful souls tried to fly a huge
box kite with Charlie Brown
like results.
ENTANGLEMENT
After tangling themselves
and a few observers in string,
they gave up and went home
just as the breeze started
blowing.
Most people, though, just
sat in the grass or on the
benches at Pinewood Bowl
and listened to the Pavilion
pour out rhythm and blues,
acid rock and soul.

musicians and other groups.
PAINTING FLOWERS
Guitars and flowers were
in abundance and a Univer
sity art student spent most
of the afternoon painting flow
' ers on foreheads with wash
able paint.
The occasion was not lim
ited to students and hippies,
as several hundred adults and
"just plain folk" found them
selves participating in the
love-in.
"I think most adults came
just out of curiousity," re
marked one middle-aged par
ticipant. "They expected to
see people lying around on
blankets 'necking' or some
thing." "Everything seems all right
out here," admitted a grey
ing observer. "As a matter
of fact, I think they ought to
have these things every week
end." DID HE HAVE FUN
"Did I have fun? I wouldn't
have stayed out here three
hours if I hadn't," he laughed.
Some students seemed
vaguely disappointed in the
whole affair. "It doesn't seem
much different from what we
normaiiy do," remarked one
coed.
Other students admitted
that they had trouble getting
in the groove.

"We were sitting here ao4
this middle-aged guy cam
up, looked at me and bent
over and picked a flower and
gave it to me," smiled a coed,
"I couldn't think of anything
to say except thank you.' "
TRAFFIC TROUBLE
The biggest law enforce
ment problem of the after
noon was traffic, according
to a spokseman from the Lin
coln Police Department, and
no arrests were made.
"There were a few people
riding motor bikes across the
golf course," he said, "but
other than that it was pretty
quiet."
Generally the arm of au
thority was forgotten except
for occasional announcements
that visitors should "move
their cars off the grass."
Except for the area around
Pinewood Bowl it was a typi
cal Sunday afternoon in the
park. The usual prodigious
number of football games
were played, and the usual
number of couples strayed
from the crowd onto the mea
dows and groves of Pioneers
Park.
They seemed perfectly con
tent, which may show that
happiness aiiu CCiilcTitrint
does not require seven thou
sand people, an elertric band,
kites and paper flowers. But,
some would argue, it helps.
