Freshman
Registration
Postponed
Junior Division students will
register beginning May 17, Dr.
Floyd Hoover, assistant registrar,
said today.
Though all other University stu
dents will begin their registration
for summer and fall courses May
4, the Junior Division registration
will be delayed to give advisers
more time to work with their ad
visees. Even students with more than
27 hours who are included in the
Junior Division will complete their
registration May 17.
THE ADDITIONAL time, ac
cording to Hoover, is designed to
give beginning students more con
sideration in making their choice
of study. It will provide oppor
tunities to discuss requirements,
interests, aptitudes, backgrounds
and goals of the individual stu
dent, he commented.
Because the first year or so of
University life is so important in
the formation of the student, spe
cial emphasis must be placed on
the Junior Division student and
his program, said Dr. Hoover. The
University recognizes this prob
lem and will seek to meet it by
allowing closer contact between
adviser and advisee, added the as
sistant registrar.
Dr. Joseph Alexis made the fol
lowing statement today to stu
dents registering for langage
studies next fall: "Attention is
called to the fact that students
may fulfill the 16 hour require
ment in foreign languages by tak
ing any language that is given five
times a week during the first year.
This means that any of the follow
ing languages may be chosen
Czech, French, German, Italian,
Russian, Spanish or Swedish."

Diaper Plot
Down at KK
By Dede Meyer.
Men in all manner of costume
cluttered the Nebraska Theatre
stage Tuesday evening for the
opening of the annual spring
musical presented by Kosmet
Klubbers and cast.
The show, entitled "Let's
Change the Subject," was au
thored by Jack Solomon and di
rected by the local Circlet The
atre's George RandaL
A rather gossamer plot, splat
tered with hackneyed gags and
stilted music routines, wove
around a certain priceless safety
pin missing from the royal diaper
of England's infant prince. Faced
with national catastrophe over
the issue, Prime Minister Clement
Schmatlee, played by Frank
Wright, tossed the whole matter
over to Scotland Yard, one mem
ber of which was Cocker Spaniel
Snootful, a quick-change artist
whose psuedo-French accent
sounded almost authentic. "Mon
sieur" Snootful was adeptly
handled by Don Veta, who, it
must be admitted, did what he
could with lines the script pro
vided.
SNOOTFUL, incidentally the
show's lead, went off on the scent
of the stolen diaper pin, while a
chorus line of members of the
UN grid squad, dressed as nurse
maids, got chuckles from colleg
iennes in the audience. This rou
tine included the usual business
with the tennis balls.
Apparently an all-male cast re
quires impersonated harem danc
ing girls; hence our hero found
himself, in the second act, in the
palace of the Sultan of Arabia,
chasing the lost pin and one Fa
tima, a luscious oriental damsel,
played by William Mickle, over
potentate's divans and through
curtained seraglios.

the show momentarily into the

Fv3ay Replace Council

This was the substance of a report made to the Stu
dent Council by Dr. Curtis Elliott acting on a decree of

functions.

ommendation which was based on a report submitted by a

Elinor Hanson is the new pres
ident of Mu Phi Epsilon, national
music sorority.

are: JoAnn Hansen, vice-president;
Elaine Putensen, recording
secretary; Kathryn Barnes, cor
responding secretary; Kathryn

... to Play at Ac
FOLLOWING the dance will
be an out-of-doors rally. At this
time the pits for Saturday eve
ning's barbecue will be lighted.
There will be singing and skits
during the rally. Barbecuing this
year will be done by Prof. W. J.
Loeffel, chairman of the animal
husbandry department.
Connie Crosby is chairman of
the dance, and Donna Rudisil and
Jack Baird are co-chairmen of the
barbecue.
i. A f
sub-committee headed by Elliott
and a report by Council president
Dale Ball.
The cancellation will affect only
the election of a new Student
Council. Other organizations
whose membership is selected at
spring elections will not be ef
fected. Elections for these organ
izations will be held May 12 as
scheduled previously.
IN SPEAKING of the suspen
sion Elliott said that the commit
tee considered the alternative of
holding elections on a party basis
but ruled it out believing that the
problem could be attacked more
easily on another basis.
Since this move cancels stu
dent government for next fall
temporary provisions will be made
to carry on the work of student
government. The president of the
Council will appoint a committee
to work with a sub-committee of
the faculty committee on student
organizations and social functions.
This joint committee will in turn
set up a basis on which an in
terim council to carry on stu
dent government can be estab
lished. THE PRIMARY function of the
interim council will be to work
out a basis for a permanent coun
cil. The temporary group will
probably be asked to consider the
question of representation and of
constitutional revision.
The suspension of Student
Council election comes as the
climax to a semester-long discus
sion of the status and effective
ness of the present Council.
The abolition of elections does
not necessarily mean that the fac
ulty is critical of the present
Council or its members, but is
done rather to" condemn the en
ire system of student govern
ment as it now exists, Elliott
pointed out.

Railroad Comedy
For those fond of amusing tales,
both fantasti? and clever, the ra
dio section of the speech depart
ment is presenting Dan Peters
and Casey Jones in their "Authors
of the Ages" program tonight.
The story, to be aired at 9:30
p.m. over KFOR, tells of an in
dividualistic railroad engin e e r
who got "damned sick and tired
of riding into Marietta, Ohio on
the same route every day." As a
result of his boredom he manu
vered fos train onto the state
highway, and the complications
which ensue make an enjoyabla
tale.
Author of the fantasy is Wilbur
Sehramm, assistant to the presi
dent of Illinois State university
and director of research there.
Schr; -n was formerly director
of Jounralism at the University
of Iowa, and institgated the noted
Writers workshop at Iowa.
