BY ELLIE SWANSON.
While most of us are still re
covering from, last week end's
celebration in Kansas, classes still
meet regularly and plans are be
ing made for another exciting
week end come Friday.
High on the list of one of the
biggest events of the coming week
is the Ak-Sar-Ben ball in Omaha
Friday and Saturday nights. The
coronation, presenting many for
mer NU coeds, will be Friday,
while the ball will be Saturday
night and will feature Benny
Goodman. Some to be found
decked out in formal attire Sat
urday will be Susie Storz with
Don McDay, Gretch Swoboda and
Paul Hyland and Genene Mitchell
with Bill Swansea to mention but
a few.
Pumpkins?
The Sigma Kappas will present
their traditional Hallowe'en party
Saturday night. Some of the cou
ples to be seen dancing will be
Mary Mattox with Jim Johnson,
Esther Hosterman with Keith Al
len, Norma Dean Finnell with
Bill Ernst and a couple seen oft
together of late, Betty Storjohn
and Rich Weir, who many feci are
developing into a steady deal.
Bev Swartwood passed the
candy to sister Tri Delts Monday
night which makes it official for
she and Bill Sorenson. Otherwise,
the cigar shortage seems to be a
good excuse for the lack of many
candy passings. Also notice Mari
lyn Gass, who is wearing a ring
on her third left, but as yet
neither she nor Jack Evans have
made any public announcement
DU Deal.
Another big party planned for
baturday night will find the fol
lowing couples at the DU house
Dean Kratz and his new "steady.

every week end, Jo Ackerman
Rumor has it that Squat Meyers
now has No. 1 position on Laurie
Morse s list . . . but the number
of his competitors are enough for
a full-sized second team.
Benny Goodman, who will be
at the Pike Friday, will attract
many NU students such as Mari
lyn Duffack and Johnny Dale,
Toby Gass and Tom Green, and
Maralie Peterson and Dave Mc
Shane.
Steady Future.
There are quite a few new and
Interesting couples that should
bear close watching in the future.
Marv. Franklin seems to be anx
ious to call it a steady deal be
tween himself and Carolyn Wes-
tervelt, while Tootsie Campen and
Steve Reed would look lonesome
without each other. Rog Stewart
seems to be demanding more and
more of Babs Call's time and she
really doesn't seem to mind at all.
We also hear that last week end
found a new interest for Joe Par
tington . , . name of Kay Kinsey,
Watch these two!
Things certainly look bright for
the future. Big events now sched
uled are the Homecoming dance
on Nov. 2, the Military Ball on
Dec. 6, and the Mortar Board Ball
on Dec. 13, all of which are open
to the public. A few closed par
ties are in the wind also. The
Sigma Nu's plan their Pig Dinner
for Dec. 14. and rumor has it that
Charlie Spivak will play. The
Betas are making plans for their
annual Crud Party and the Sig
Alphs likewise for their Jug
Party. Maybe these bright spots
to come will make studying a lit
tle easier to take.

Nebraska High Schools Will
Screen 29,000 Film Miles
Nebraska high schools will
screen 2,900 miles of educational
film from the university's motion
picture bureau, James W. Taylor,
director of the Bureau of Audio
visual Education of the University
Extension Division announced,
and predicted that motion pic
tures will be as common in Ne
braska high school classrooms a
decade frome now as the black
board is today.
This fall the university film
library has 1,550 sound films and
over two dozen projectors, a very
great increase over the half dozen
films and two projectors with
which the bureau began operation
six years ago, Taylor pointed out
Misuse of Movies.
Widespread use of movies in
etaching high school students was
retareded because some teachers
started using motion pictures
without first learning how to use
them properly, Taylor explained,
and said that, "The effective use
of films made in training the
armed forces, plus rapid improve
ment in teaching films has dem
onstrated that the motion picture
nas a definite place in the class
room." In addition to teaching films for
students, Nebraska manufacturing
concerns, county agriculture so
cieties and churches are placing
an increasing demand with the
bureau for movies on industrial
and farming techniques and re

Official recipient of films pro
duced by the federal government,
the bureau recently acquired the
only complete set of "March of
Time" films in the region, and
will distribute them in North and
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas
and Missouri.
A state-wide experiment which
will attempt to set up national
standards for educational movies
is the result of the increase in
the University's interest in the use
of films for teaching, according to
Mr. Taylor. The experiment is be
ing subsidized by a $15,000 grant
from the Carnegie Corp. of New
York and the use of $10,000 worth
of films from the Motion Picture
Association of America, he added.
The bureau charges a rental of
$1.25 per 400-foot reel for black
and white films, and $1.75 for
technicolor. Industrial and gov
ernment films and church films
rent for from six to eight dollars
per reel.

To Science
"More emphasis must be placed
on work and less on the dollar
sign" if the United States would
lead the world in basic scientific
discoveries, Dr. Walter Militzer,
associate professor of chemistry,
declared in a talk before the Lin
coln Interprofessional Institute
Saturday night.
"Great discoveries are made by
accident," Dr. Militzer said. He
cited the discovery of radium by
Madame Curie which, he ex
plained, was the result of an ac
cidental discovery by Henri Bec
querel that a unranium ore was
able to "expose" photographic
