For Honors
The number 13 wasn't un
lucky for University students

Committee Splits
In drafting the resolution Fri

finally adopted by the general

Greece Topic of
Humanities Class
"Man's character is his
destiny." Dean C. H. Oldfathei
used a Greek writer's pharse to
explain Greek individualism at
the second session of the extra
curricular humanities course
Thursday evening.
He offered the words to sum
up the secret of Greek spirit,
which had been discussed earlier
in the evening by speakers from
the art, music and classics de-
Gail Butt art showed slides
. .. .. .
to illustrate nis talk on classical
sculpture, architecture and
ceramics.
Myron Roberts discussed the
fragments of Greek music which
have been preserved, and played
records of two songs. The
Greeks, he said, believed that
music had a very definite effect
upon human beings. He told also
of the contributions of the music
to more modern forms.
S. T. Vandersall, classics,
talked about the characteristics
of the Greeks, as reflected in
their literature and philosopy.
Theatre Play
Parodies
Hollywood
Crazy things happen out in
Hollywood.
And the funniest of all are
told in Kaufman and Hart's
"Once in a Lifetime." which the
University theatre presents as
its fourth production of the cur
rent season at the Nebraska
theater. March 27, 28 and 29.
Heralded by an eastern news
paper as a comedy full of "scald
ing mockery and extravagant
humor," the play features an un
usually large cast of 36, with the
play's plot revolving mainly
about three thespians.

May opens up a voice culture
school. Jerry is business man
ager and George, dumb at every
thing, decides the easiest thing
to do is to become a technician.
If the members of the audience
stick with the general impression
that nothing runs according to
schedule or plan in Hollywood,
they will see George made ex

ISA Head
Reviews
New Plan'
Don Flesher, president of ISA,
today replied to students objec
tions to his plan for reorgan
ization of ISA published in Wed
nesday's Daily Nebraskan.
To charges that students would
be railroaded into joining th
ISA, Flesher answered that while
the proposed plan would maka
all independents members of
ISA, only those who wished to
take advantage of the organiza
tion would be included in tha
active membership. He said that
no one would be "railroaded"
into joining, since active mem
berships are sold purely on a
voluntary basis.
He emphasized that ISA was
intended to be a service organ
ization to independents. He de
nied that the group was intended
to be a political machine.
No Politics
"I do not now. nor will I fa
vor active participation of the
ISA in student politics," Flesher
said.
cial organization, and its pro
gram is mainly one of sports,
dances and other social activi
ties, he said.
According to Flesher's plan,
the ISA Council would be ex
panded to represent any group
of students that wishes to or
ganize. The amount of money
taken in would depend upon
those students who join the or
ganization. Question of Prestige
To charges that the organiza
tion was not offering a worth
while program, Flesher said:
! 1 ime ,,so,r wlU answcr e
amount ot student interest
shown."
The privilege of every inde
pendent voting in ISA elections,
Flesher said, was one which
could be accepted or rejected by
the individual student. He said
that he hoped that a great
amount of student interest would
be shown in elections, but that
it was not necessarily expected.

Dress Rehearsal
Scene Confused
The shouts of workmen and
blare of canned music combined
to add to the uncertainties and
confusion of Coed Follies dress
rehearsal Saturday morning.
Eager, but amateurish, women
carpenters were attempting to
raise their homemade scenery.
The males, experts at the job of
transforming the bare stage,
were busy changing backdrops
to find something suggestive of
the bottom of the sea. a baseball
diamond and shocshine shop.
Work Almost Finished
"Hey Chris! Have to get
something heavier this won't
workl" The worker tore his hair
as he tried to make practicable
some of the handy little devices
the coeds had thought of for
making a rain cloud drop or the
soul of a shoe stand up.
For coeds the morning was
nearing the culmination of weeks
of song writing and practicing,
of costume gathering and scen
ery construction. Climax will
come Monday evening when the
all-women show Is presented for
a strictly female audience.
The various women's groups
began planning their skits in No
vember. Work, including orig
inal (lances and lyrics, is done
by the students themselves,
wtihout professional help.
Admission charges help fi
nance some of the women's ac
tivities on the campus, including
part of the traditional Ivy Day
cercmonici.
