Monday, May 6, 1968 The Daily Nebraskan Paae 5' IDA approves appointment of Reesa Almy for VP The Inter-Dormitory Asso ciation (IDA) Council Thurs day approved the presidential appointment of Reesa Almy, former Smith Hall president, as IDA vice president. Miss Almy, a sophomore from Greenwood majoring in social sciences, said her ma jor job is to aid IDA Presi dent Bruce Bailey and to work closely with IDA com mittee chairmen. Bailey said he appointed her to the IDA's second ex ecutive position because of her capabilities of working with committees and her gen eral knowledge of the resi dence halls. Miss Almy, a past ASUN associate and AWS represen tative, is a former chairman of the IDA constitutional con vention committee, which proposed 16 amendments to the IDA constitution, which were passed by residents April l(i.

Eyster resigned his post April 4 in order to activelv campaign for an amendment which would have provided salaries for IDA executive of ficers. In other IDA Council busi ness, the Council passed by a 15-1 vote a motion which establshes a scholarship fund for IDA executive offi cers. The motion, tabled one week ago, was introduced by Eyster and provides for at least a $500 annual salary for the IDA President and $200 for the IDA vice president. The motion further stipulates that the allocations for each dormitory shall contain at least this minimum amount. Bailey said the scholarship will be registered with the University's Office of Finan cial Aids with the understand ing that only the organiza tion's two executive officers would receive them. Most sec need "I am very pleased that the majority of the residents see the need and expressed them selves through the Council," Bailey said of the Council's passage of the motion. Eyster had earlier said his proposal of the motion stems from a recent Association wide election in which dor mitory residents approved by more than 250 votes a con stitutional amendment pro viding for executive officer salaries. Despite passing by a 594- a vote, the amendment to receive a 15 per cent affirm ative vote which is required by the IDA constitution when less than 30 per cent of the residents vote. Idential salaries The defeated amendment would have provided for t h e identical salaries as the mo tion the Council approved Thursday. Brian Ridenour, chairman of the IDA administrative co ordinating committee, said an evaluation is currently un derway of last week's Greek IDA exchange when several residents lived in the opposite environment for one wee k. He indicated that a prelimi nary sampling of the involved students was favorable. Bob Burhmann, IDA social chairman, announced that tha dormitory leader recognition dinner would be held May 13 in the Cather Hall cafeteria at 7 p.m. He said he has received confirmation that the Univer sity's Board of Regents and Chancellor Clifford Hardin would attend the dinner. !!!lll!lllltlHmillllUIIIMHrWMHimiim I Existing structure as phases of merger handle activity continued from page 1 Currently faculty members from both schools have been conferring regularly to ac quaint staffs with academic and governmental organiza tions, curricular and degree requirements and other phases of merger activity. The steering committee has considered the possibility of initiating the quarter system of a means of attaining a goal of coordinated year-round use of facilities on both cam puses. Naylor said that the depart ment on both campuses will continue as previously. He added that the transfer of cre dits between schools is also being worked out, which he termed a relatively easy matter since there is already a treat similarity between programs, Both Soshnik and Hobson said the merger will have j relatively modest affect on the Lincoln campus.
