Miss Meyer and Curry were the University of Ne braska winners of Clairol's "Date a Blonde" Contest. Lee Majors, star of TV's "Big Valley" was Miss Meyer's escort and Sivi Aberg, Miss Sweden, was Curry's date. A pre-game luncheon was followed by a limousine ride to the game, Curry said. Miss Aberg "enjoyed the game very much," Curry said. "She had only seen one other football game, the super bowl, "so I kept her informed on the action." After the game the four some dined and danced at a nightclub. "We discussed our answers on the ques tionnarie," Miss Meyer said. Curry said that Miss Aberg was as he expected, very attractive, but taller than he anticipated. "S h e must have been 5' 11" or 6' toaH," he said. Curry reported that he had no trouble communicat ing with his date, but that she had a slight accent. She had never heard of the word "barn," he said.

Ticket Sell-Out Expected For Foreign Film Series Student ticket sales for the foreign film series are similar to the sell-outs of the past two seasons ac cording to Richard K. Scott, Nebraska Union Program Director. Only 300 tickets are now available at the Nebraska Union. The films, sponsored by the Union film Committee, will be presented at the Ne braska Theater alternate Wednesdays at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. with Oct. 4 being opening night for the pro jected series.

After several Regents challenged the fairness of opening the pool only to Abel-Sandoz dwellers during the school year, the Board voted to table a decision on who would use the pool until a later date. Hardin said the pool will be built in an area off the walk between Sandoz and Abel Halls. ASUN President Dick Schulze, addressing the Board as "a resident of Uni versity housing for five years and an employee for three," praised the group for approving the pool allo cations. Noting that the dormitory system is relatively young, Schulze said, "dormitories haven't been the answer to all the housing problems." ties of other schools. He described the project as a tremendous opportunity at a reasonable cost.

The famous names Jean ne Moreau, Jean-Paul Bel mondo, and Sylvie head the cast lists under the direc tion of such greats as Ing mar Bergman. Introducing the series will be "The Magician," a Swe dish film exploring the eter nal truths of love, death, and alontness in an eerie atmosphere of mystery. la,.. IF ' Inter-Dorm Council Approves By-laws The Inter-Dormitory As sociation Council approved three by-laws proposed by Tom Briggs, administrative co-ordinating chairman, last week. The first by-law clarifies the position of the IDA vice-president. It states that the vice president shall be a per manent member of the As sociation Council, and is empowered to participate in all debate and introduce all types of legislation. He will exercise no vote in matters of Council deliber ation except as outlined in the Constitution. PARLIAMENTARIAN By-law II provides for an office of parliamentarian on the council. The parlia mentarian shall be a non voting member of the Coun cil and shall decide on par liamentary disputes. The third by-law adopted by the council dealt with the format of IDA legisla tion, stating that all legis lation of the Council shall take the form of a council resolution, a council act, or a by-law of the Association. The purpose of this by-law is to simplify and clarify Council procedure Briggs said. EXPLANATION He explained that a res olution is a "statement of position" which could be presented to the adminis tration or to the Associa ation. An act is a point of law, he said, which does not define the policy of IDA as does a resolution. Vice-President, Dave Shonka, reminded the Coun cil that the IDA is the sec ond largest organization on campus, second only to ASUN. 5000 MEMBERS "I think an organization STARTING TODAY Sale 1968 MM featuring a totally new and different format.

The Council also passed a motion for the purchase of 2500 freshman pamphlets.

These pamphlets attempt to "inform future members of the capacity of IDA," Ridenour said. Shonka reported that the All University Fund has agreed to co-sponsor a fund making dance on Oc tober 21. APPOINTMENTS Ridenour appointed Tom Granger of Abel Hall chair man of the freshman work ers committee. The purpose of this committee is to orient freshmen to the organization. The Council President has recently appointed Dave Shonka, vice- president; Kathy Fisher, secretary; Larry Cichacek, treasurer; Tom Briggs, administrative coordinating chairman; and Jerry McCrery, activities chairman. The offices of social chair man and scholastic chair man remain to be filled.
