Alum Board
Membership
May Change
Alumni membership on the
university athletic board of con
trol should be from "more than
one city," the Board of Regents
recommended Saturday.
The board aeo agreed on a
policy to ask for recommendations
for membership on the board
from the Alumni association, the
"N" club and the University Sen
ate for representation on the ath
letic board.
Report Presented.
The action was taken following
presentation of a report of a joint
alumni-regent committee which
had been appointed to consider
two resolutions presented the
Board of Regents January 5 by the
Omaha 'chapter of the Alumni
association. The resolutions asked:
(1) That alumni representation
on the board be altered to include
a representative of each congres
sional district; and (2) that the
board be empowered to "give
immediate publicity to any of its
actions," unless in the judgment
of the board such action be first
submitted ior approval to the
Chancellor and the Board of
Regents."
Recommends.
The committee's report recom
mended that the athletic board's
constitution should "not be
changed" but that the two alumni
representatives should not "be
from the same city." The com
mittee declared that the resolu

O'Neill Show, 6 Ah, Wilderness,'
Ends Play Season This Weekend
BY DEDE MEYER.
"Ah, Wilderness!" a comedy of
recollection in three acts, by
Eugene O'Neill, will open Thurs
day evening for a three night
stand at the Temple theater.
This play, the fourth and final
major production of the Univer
sity Theater this season, is a
gentle and loving story, colored
with bits of humor and sadness,
about a typical American family
in 1906. The curtain will rise at
8 o'clock upon the scene of the
home of the Millers, who live in a
small town in Connecticut.
"Just Folks."
The Millers are average folks.
Mr. Miller owns the local news
paper, and his family is faced
with the usual problems that face
American families. During the
play their main trouble is con
cerned with Richard, their young
son, a senior in high school, who
reads Oscar Wilde and Omar
Khayyam, and writes poetry to
his girl friend.
Richard hates capitalists, and
because of his rebelling nature,
is forced to break up with his
girl friend. Being young and ar
rogant, Richard, for spite, goes
out and gets drunk in the presence
of a strange woman. When this

Me," backwards and forwards, for

body wanted!"
MGM Stages Show.
Staged under the auspices of
MGM iilm studios, the musical
productions proved a tremendous
boost to camp morale. Mr. Genz
linger not only sang leading roles
in the shows, but he rehearsed
small chorus groups as well.
"One of the nicest things we did
was Romberg's 'New Moon'," he
recalled. Others were "Merry Wi
dow," "Robin Hood," "Roberta,"
and "Hit the Deck."
Genzlinger, who graduated in
1943, and who sang the lead in
the recent "Elijah" performance,
is now working for his masters
degree, writing his thesis on the
style of Brahms' songs. Tonight
he will sing "Vision Fugitive"
from Massenet's opera, "Herod
iade." Companion soloists of Mr. Genz
linger will be ' mezzo soprano
Lois Meyers, Wesleyan senior, and
pianist Houghton Furr who will
perform Liszt's first piano con
certo. The "Russian Easter Over
ture," by Rimsky-Korsakoff,
"Overture to an Unwritten Op
era" by Gillis. and Prokoffief's
"Peter and the Wolf," narrated by
Ray Olson of radio station WOW,
are the orchestral selections.

But Richard's lost damsel proves

EnlargedROTC
Unit Is Planned
For Net Year
An enlarged ROTC unit to be
in full swing by next fall is be
ing planned, Lt. Col. Merle J.
Senn, acting director of military
training, announced last week.
The unit will again be com
posed of three branches, field ar
tillery, infantry and engineers, in
stead of the present "branch im
material." "We expect to fill most
of the maximum quota of 125
cadet officers from student veter
ans who have had the required
basic ROTC courses taken care of
by their time in the armed serv
ice," Lt. Col. Senn said.
Stimulus.
Added incentive for veterans to
take advanced ROTC has been
given by the war department,
Senn reported. The cadet now re
ceives $87 uniform allowance in
stead of the pre-war $36. Subsis
tence money has been increased
from $7.50 per month to $21.
Preference in applying for ad
vanced ROTC will be given to
veterans, " according to Colonel
Senn. They will be selected on the
basis of the type of job they had
in service, character, scholastic
record and a comprehensive intel
ligence examination. To be a
cadet, the student must not have
reached his 26th birthday and
must be 19 years of age.
Teachers College Club
Adopts Foreign School
The University Teachers Col
lege Women's club, made up of
women faculty members and
wives of professors, has adopted
an elementary school in Luxem
bourg to which they are sending
money for paper, pencils, books
and clothing.
Made through an international
federation, the club's initial con
tribution was $150 to be spent in
buying such commodities.
Vets Meeting
Last regular meeting of the
year for the veterans' organ
ization will be held at the
Union Tuesday at 7:15 p. m.
Election of officers for next
year is scheduled, according to
Richard Sinsel, publicity chairman.
UNIVERSITY THEATRE PRESENTS
Sttaitte
A 20 percent increase in the cost of course fees to all
students, and an increase in the non-resident fee to a mini
mum of $75 were made by the Board of Regents Saturday.
The steps were taken to meet an anticipated budget
deficit created by a rapidly increasing student enrollment
at the university, according to Comptroller John Selleck.
They will also provide necessary adjustment in salaries of
some faculty members; and provide funds for additional fac
ulty members needed to instruct the anticipated 7,000 to
8,000 student enrollment expected next fall, he said.
Lutherans
Hold Dinner
Sunday Nite
Revival of the pre-war banquet
for campus students ot the Lu
theran Student group under the
direction of Rev. Henry Erck and
alumni h;is been scheduled for
Sunday, May 12, at 6 p. m. in the
Union XYZ parlors.
The banquet, an annual pre
war custom adopted by the group,
was dormant during the war
years due to the tightened ration
ing regulations. With the relaxa
tion of governmental control on
commodities it will again be pos
sible for the Lutheran group to
plan the affair each year, accord
ing to Rev. Erck.
Irwin Jones Speaker.
Irwin A. Jones of Seward, as
sistant attorney general of Ne
braska, will speak to the assem
blage following the dinner. Frank
Mueller, field secretary of the
Nebraska Chamber of Commerce,
will act as toastmaster. Both are
former members of the campus
group.
Banquet committee chairmen
selected from the active student
group are Minerva Schlielert,
decorations: Lambert Burmester
tickets, and Elaine Putensen, en
tertainment. Joan and Jeanette Strain, soph
omore French majors, have vol
unteered to lead the campaign for
money for the mailing and wrap
ping of food and clothing pack
ages being collected this week in
a volunteer relief drive sponsored
bv the 18th century French class
of Dr. Emile V. Telle.
The Strain twins were the first
volunteers outside the eighteenth
century class to respond to the
appeal for volunteers.
Based on the postage cost of the
11 pound maximum weight per
package allowed by the post of
fice, as well as on the cost of
wrapping paper, cord, etc., the
volunteer group has set $300 as
the goal for a fund to pay these
expenses.
The group asks that anyone de
siring to contribute make their
contribution to either Joan or
Jeanette Strain, any members of
the 18th century class, or with

(CaDsfe
The board approved, effective
Sept. 1, 1946:
(1) A 20 percent increase in
the cost of course fees to all stu
dents. Most courses now cost $2.50
per credit hour. The increase
would boost this figure to an av
erage of $3 per credit hour. For
the average student this means
$7.50 more a semester in course
fees.
(2) An increase in the non
resident fee from a minimum of
$25 per semester to a minimum
of $75, which was described as
"in line" with increases made at
most other institutions over the
country. Nebraska at present,
charges a smaller fee to out-of-state
students than most other
neighboring states, who assess an
average of $60 per semester.
(3) A recommendation by the
deans of the colleges that all fresh
man and sophomore students
either resident or non-resident,
must file applications for admis
sion to the university before Ausr.

university alumni and other stu

Colorado and Wyoming and south

their high school classes; and all
