ISA Plan
Met With
Objection
Hag Polls Barbs
On Expansion
Independent students have re
acted both favorably and unfa
vorable to Don Flesher's proposed
expansion of the local ISA on
the University campus.
In a student poll conducted by
The Daily Nebraskan, independ
ent students accepted and re
jected the ISA president's plans.
Some of those rejecting it would
back it if it had modifications.
Flesher outlined the new pro
gram at a meeting at Palladian
hall Monday night. He called for
a more unified organization of
unaffiliated students, wherein
there would be a more extensive
social program. Sports, picnics,
dances, and activities would be
on the ISA docket.
More Prestige.
Said one student: "The pro
gram has to have a little prestige
before students will join. The
students have to be offered some
' thing they want before the plan
will succeed. As it is now, unaf
filiated students have a variety
of clubs and social organizations
which they can join. The ISA
will have to offer something
worthwhile."
Many students are of the be
lief that there are many activi
ties on the campus in which a
student, regardless of affiliation,
will succeed, if he has ability.
Commented one student:
"There are the YMCA, Palladian,
Cosmopolitan club, Adelphi, and
many other organizations for in
dependent students. If they are
not already members in an or
ganization, there is a good chance
they don't desire to. I think that
most independent students are
independent because they want
to be independent."
No Railroading.
One student thought that
Flesher's plan was satisfactory in
most respects, but he didn't be
lieve that students should be
railroaded into joining any or
ganization. "You would have the
same people taking part in its
activities as you have now, only
there would be more money to
work with," he added.
"I think Flesher has a good
idea. Independent students should
organize. The Greek system
should not be allowed to be the
only social system on the cam
pus," said one Barb.
"The facilities offered by the
ISA should be used, primarily, to
help students make friends, and
help them individually, and not
for political reasons. I'm all for
Flesher's plans, but to make ISA
a political machine is another
thing," voiced another.
Several students lauded the
organization's president in his
action because they, also, saw
the need of an organization which
could help independent students
participate in campus activities,
sports, and open to them oppor
tunities for social development.
"I think the idea is good, and
I hope that all the independents
will get back of it. The sports
program is especially desirable,"
said one independent.
Extensive Sports Program.
Another student approved of
the extensive sports program of
fered by the new program, but
he hoped that it would not in it
self be discriminatory. "Inde
pendent teams should play af
filiated teams as well as other
unaffiliated teams. Only then
can the existing barriers be
broken down," he added.
Flesher said Monday that, un
der the new plan, all independ
ent students would have a chance
to vote in all ISA elections. One
student, in six semesters at the
University, had not voted in a
single campus election. He
doubted that those who refuse
to vote in elections now could
be persuaded to vote in an ISA
election.
Practically all students inter
viewed believed that the ISA
was the best possible large, uni
fying organization that could be
obtained at the University, and
that, since it was national, great
benefit could be obtained from
the experience of Independent
Students Asosciations on other
campuses.

Junior Council
To Discuss Prom
The recently formed Junior
Class council will meet Thurs
day 7:30 p.m., at the Union.
Plans for the Junior-Senior
prom are expected to be discus
sed. After an O.K. from the In
nocents society, the council star
ted tentative plans for the dance,
which is now slated for some
time in April, at the Union
ballroom.
Since it came into being about
two weeks ago, the council has
started plans rolling for spon
sorship of various functions,
class meetings and barbecues, a
Junior class day, and perhaps a
gift to the school from the class.
The main hurdle for the class
currently is the lack of opera

'Humanities'
To Discuss
Greek Art
At the second session of the
1 CXtia-c U 1 T i C U 1 a r
humanities
course, literature, art, music and
history of the Greek period will
be the chief topic of discussion.
The meeting is scheduled for
7:30 p. m. in Morrill hall art gal
lery. Speakers for each phase of the
classical arts will be S. T. Van
dersall, classics; Gail Butt, art;
C H. Oldl'ather, history; and My
ron Roberts, music.
According to the plans, Butt
will begin with a discussion of
art during the Greek period. Em
phasis will be placed on the con
quest of nature through reason
and, concurrently, emphasis on I
proportion and order.
Butt will use slides to illus
trate the contrast between ar
chaic and late Greek art. The
early work was more vigorous
and made use of much geometric
decoration. Achievements of the
later, Golden Age including Ap
ollo figures and the Parthenon,
will also be shown.
Greek Period
Roberts will speak on music
of the Greek period and play
records representative of some of
the 1 1 fragments, which are the
only bits known to be in exist
ence today Although the music
of this age is often considered an
"incomplete fossil," it is possible,
Roberts says, to show its influ
ence on later work.
Vanderall will speak on liter
ature and philosophy of the per
iod. He states that the main
characteristics of the writing are
simplicity of form, restless and
penetrating intcllertualism and a
strain of melancholy. As in Greek
art. there is a feeling for propor
tion and balance in both form
and thought.
Effect On Literature
He will touch upon epics, trag-
: edics. historical prose and poetry.
Philosophy will be treated for
the effect its ideas have on litcr-
aturc.
Moving trom the specific fields
toward concluding generalization.
Dean Oldfather will summarize
contributions, attempting to in
tegrate the four fields.
It was decided to use a chrono
logical approach, even though
corresponding achievements did
not take place in each field at the
same time. The Greek period is
the first to be studied. In later
meetings medieval, renaissance
and contemporary achievements
will be discussed.

Play Hits
Campus
Ten-in-one will be the nature
of Jack Rank's performance
when he appears in the Union
ballroom Thursday, Feb 2.1, at
8 p. m.
Portraying all ten characters.
Rank will present the Shakes
pearean comedy "The Taming of
the Shrew." Rank, the only actor
in the country who takes the part
of all characters in a play com
plete with costumes, is a 192?
graduate from the University and
a former instructor of speech
here.
His appearance Thursday will
be highlighted by his unbeliev
ably quick changes from one cos
tume to another without a break
in the dialogue, He will take the
role of three women and seven
men.
Attributes Career
Rank attributes his stumbling
onto his present career to
an incident that occurred one
night when he was making an
appearance in a small town neat
Lincoln. "When 1 arrived," re
calls the actor, "armed with only
'The Merchant of Venice,' I was
met by an excited theater man
ager and committee who were
worried because my trunks had
not arrived. They had thought,
and also led the audience to be
lieve, that I was going to give a
presentation complete with seen
The actor gave only the read- j
ing that night, but continued to i
discover some way in which one
person could present a play, take I
in all parts and make all neces- I
sary costume changes.
Somehow he overcame the dif
ficulties, for today, while doing
MacEeth in full costume, includ
ing long hose and armored doub
let, he leaves and re-enters by
another door as Lady MacHoth
in flowing gown and wimple 40 :
seconds later. No change ever
takes longer than a minute, i
Designs Costumes
Rank also designs all costumes
and scenery used in the show. j
Back stage his costumes hang I
They are taken down one at a
time by an assistant. The wo
men's dresses are placed in a
circle on the floor and all Rank
docs is step into them, and get
zipped up.
"The Taming of the Shrew"
is Rank's fifth production. He
believes that his performances
number well over the 5,000 mark.
During Thursday's production
Rank will make 35 changes This
is Rank's second appearance at
the University. During the 1949
summer session he appeared with
his production of "MrcUeth."
Tickets for the play are (50
cents a person and are sold in

'Respect' 4th -Word
of City
Courtesv Drive
"Courtesy Counts," is the
slogan for the Lincoln City-Wide
Courtesy Campaign that is well
underway. Subjects for discus
sion arc acrostics taken Irum the
word courtesy.
The calendar of the acrostics
under discussion until April 15,
with their respective dates and
speakers are as follows: "Re
spect," Feb. 12 to March 4, Rev.
Douglas Clyde: "Thoiighfulness,"
March 5 to April 1, Mrs Husch
ncr; and "Etiquette," April 2 to
April 15, Miss Eiscnbarth.
Respect, the fourth word of
acrostics, includes the showing
of respect to others' rights, to
God, for elders, to authority, to
the hand'eapped, and to public
and private property.
Thoughtl'ulness, the topic taken
from the T of courtesy, covers
the acts of showing kindness
in words and thoughts and deeds,
of demonstrating appreciation,
and of being prompt to appoint
ments, performances, school,
church, and work.
Better Manners
Etiquette is the acrostic stress
ing the cultivation of better man
ners and of the elimination of
objectionable habits.
The films and film strips avail
able on the subject of courtesy
represent the tormalities of in
troductions, telephone manners,
and invitations and replies. One
film on table manners shows a
complete dinner sequence from
soup to nuts with the fundamen
tal rules of good tabic manners
simply presented and analyzed.
Another reel is designed to
meet the problems of impressing
students with the importance of
good manners in dating by pro
viding an opportunity for stu
dents to compare their own be
havior with that shown in the 1
film. The elementary and secon- j
dary schools of Lincoln are
showing marked evidence of in-
terest in courtesy because of pos-
ters, advice, and exhibits on the
publicized campaign topic,

Council
Passes
New Plan
Insures Minority
Representation
The Student Council last night
passed a motion to include in the
new constitution, a system of
proportional representation by a
preferential ballot.
One of the biggest points in
favor of this system is that it
will provide for minority groups,
according to Roz Howard, Coun
cil president.
Bob Parker expressed his
views on the motion by saying, "I
honestly feel proportional repre
sentation with a preferential bal
lot is the best system because it
will insure minorities. I believe
it is an advancement over what
we now have."
The amendment to include the
preferential svstem was made by
Ben Wall. He said, "Without a
preferential ballot you are set
ting up the same syjtem as be
fore." Women's Parties
The organization of women's
political parties was discussed.
Eugenie Sampson stated the issue
as this: "I don't think the issue
is how quickly or efficiently we
can organize political parties but
whether or not we want to or
ganize." Similar views were expressed
by Alice Jo Smith who said,
"Women have been getting along
pretty well without organizing. A
political party would take time,
effort and money. I feel women
would rather spend their time
elsewhere."
Objecting to the lack of or
ganization by women students
Don Stern stated, "The thing has
been run slipshod. Campus elec
tions are of a type where every
one should get out and vote in
stead of a popularity contest."
Opposition to this statement
was mode by Shirley Allen. She
said, "What's better about voting
for a political party candidate
than voting for a girl whom you
know."
Dog Eat Dog
Similar views opposing women
organizing were expressed bv
Alice Jo Smith who stated, "If
we were condemned to organiz
ing it would be cutthroat and
dog eat dog. That's the way it
will be, and that is why the girls
don't want it."
The renort of the election com
mittee was given bv Roz Howard.
The report, drawn up by a
Council committee, will be pre
sented to individuals and or
