Santa Claus: Bad Kids
Don't Exist In Lincoln
By KEITH WILLIAMS
If all the kids are as good
as they say they are, there
is no such thing as a bad
child in Lincoln, Santa
Claus said Thursday.
Santa, who has been
visiting in a Lincoln depart

Plans Of
Campus
Building
Remodeling Will
Keep Up Its Pace
By GARY GILLEX
Senior Staff Writer
Campus construction for
next semester may involve
the new recital hall and the
remodeling of Nebraska and
Andrews Halls.
"If the plans for these proj
ects are finished and if t h e
money is acquired, bids will
be let and construction will
start next semester," George
Miller, administrator oft h e
University physical plant.
The remodeling of Nebras
ka Hall will be a continua
tion of a project began last
year. The Andrews Hall proj
ect will involve the conver
sion of the dental facilities on
the third floor to classrooms.
XO DIFFICULTY
Miller said that he sees no
extreme difficulties with any
of the construction projects,
but until they are finished
"anything could happen."
Of the five buildings now
under construction on cam
pus two are slightly behind
schedule but all are expected
to be completed in time to
meet their deadlines, Miller
said.
The women's Physical Ed
ucation Building is presently
behind schedule because of
some forming problems, Mill
er noted.
The building .was. started
last school year and has a
completion date in the fall of
1963.
PHYS. ED.
The p h y s i c a 1 education
building is estimated at a
cost of $2.1 million, a third of
which is being financed by
the federal government.
Miller said that the build
in is 50 per cent completed.
The 5 million, 13-story of
fice and classroom building
located between Burnett and
Bessey Halls is also behind
the scheduled construction
date.
He estimated construction
on the structure to be about
25 per cent complete.
CHEM. BUILDING
Work on the new chemistry
building, just west of the of
fice classroom building, is
aliout 10 ner cent finished.
M'Her said.
The chemistry building will
be eight stories high and is
estimated to cost about $8
mi"ion.
Miller said that the new
Animal Science building on
the East campus is over half
completed. According to the
contract the structure will be
finished sometime during
April
Also on the East Campus,
th new Sppd Labrafory is
about mid-way in its con
St"("'tin". Rpmorle'ine of the Nebras
ka Union is about 50 per cent
finished. Miller noted. The
$1.3 million project is ex
pected to be finished in about
seven months.
BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS

more than 200 kids a day,
most of them between 1
and 12 years old, and not
one of them has said that
he or she has been bad this
year.
Santa , admitted that he
doesn't spend all of his
time in the store. During
his spare time he attends
the University of Nebraska
under the name of Joel C.
Davis, 19, of Selleck Quad
rangle. Davis said he was hired
by the department store
because the store's person
nel manager thought Davis
had a Santa Claus-like
voice. Since most Santa
Clauses are older men,
young Davis said his only
problem is that his hands
are not wrinkled and this
sometimes gives his dis
guise away.
Davis said he gets along
well with children partly
because he has three young
sisters. But mainly, he ex
plained, "I've always got
ten along with little kids be
cause I'm a little kid at
heart."
"When I ask the kids
what they want for Christ
mas, many of them just
spout back the toy adver
tisements they have seen
on television," Davis said.

Some kids have asked
for snakes, Davis said, and
one girl wanted four baby
brothers. Santa said he did
not commit himself on this
request. One 8-year-old boy
asked Davis for peace on
earth.
Davis said that several
junior high girls asked for
boyfriends, and he added
with a slight grin that he
doesn't mind when college
girls sit on his lap to have
their pictures taken.
Davis explained that he
often has trouble with the
smaller children because
they like to pull his beard.
Many times they are so
scared that they just s i t
and cry, he said.
Among Davis's duties are
passing out big red bal
loons and also answering
many questions.
"Where are your rein
deer, Santa?" a boy asked.
"Parked on the roof, nat
urally," Davis answered.
"How come I just saw
you at Sears?" asked a
girl.
"I just ran over here to
make sure I understood
what you wanted," Davis
replied.
Asked to give the tradi
tional "ho-ho-ho!" Davis
sheepishly answered that
he does not do this any
more. "People keep telling me
that my 'ho-ho-ho!' makes
me sound like a pirate, and
I don't want to frighten the
kids any more than they al
ready are," he said.
Hovet Tells
United
Seat Communist
By Christie Schwartzkopf
Junior Staff Writer
"Failure to seat Com
munist China could mean
a major calamity for the
United Nations," a Univer
s i t y of Oregon political
science professor, Thomas
Hovet Jr., said at a Model
UN press conference Satur
day. Referring to a speech he
addressed to delegates at
the University's first Model
U.N. Friday night, Hovet
said that "unless other
states offset it, China could
become the most significant
nation in the world."
Other countries could off

Although Hovet expressed
faith in the UN as a meet
ing ground where arguing
over procedures can be
eliminated, he predicted its
demise.
He said that the structure
of the UN is based on the
alignment of nations that
were major powers in 1945.
Countries that were not ma
jor powers in 1945 are
emerging today, and their
exclusion from the body of
major powers, the Security
Council, will reduce the ef
fectiveness of the UN.
REPLACE UN
When the UN fails to be
useful to the states and
when the major powers are
no longer the world's ma
jor powers, then the UN
will ve replaced by a simi
lar organization, he pre
dicted. Hovet noted another of
Ihc problems of the UN
that of the "mini-state",
many of which have
emerged as a result of de
colonization. He said that under inter
national law all states are
sovereign and equal, but it
is difficult to integrate these
small states into the world's
political system where, in
reality, all states are not
sovereign and equal.

Study Slunvs
Conservative, Provincial
NU Frosh Are Idealistic
This year's University of
Nebraska freshman may be
a bit more conservative, a
shade more provincial, and
have a little less money than
the national 1967 college
freshman prototype, but his
idealism shines as brightly
as anybody's.
These conclusions come
from a national study made
by the research office of the
American Council on Edu
cation, Washington, D.C.,
which shows:
. . . More than 7 of 10
NU frosh (a rate a little
higher than the national
norm) think the individual
can change society. Six of
10 NU and also of national
frosh consider "helping oth
ers in difficulty" to be an
essential or important ob
jective in life.
... By a scant majority
NU frosh think colleges are
too soft on student protest
ers, an opinion contrary to
the national norm.
. . . Only 45 of the NU
frosh, compared with 60
nationally, intend to get ad
vanced or professional de
grees. . . . The percentage of NU
frosh coming from under
$6,000 income families is al
most twice that of the na
tional norm and the percen
tage of NU frosh coming
from over $15,000 income
families is just about half
the national norm but
21.4 of the NU and 18.4
of the national frosh said
they have no idea what
their family income
amounts to.
Slightly over half of the
University of Nebraska's 4.
129 new freshmen returned
questionnaires to the Amer
ican Council study. A sum
mary of the NU and nation
al results is now in the
hands of Harry Allen, the
University's direct of in
stitutional research.
