Where The Ball Landed
A good businessman generally rebels against
1 unreasonable prices if he can buy the product else
where. A good merchant also will try to get the
best bargain possible for any project he starts.
Most businessmen seek the best solution when
profit on a project is utmost in their minds. This
year All University Fund took the business world
outlook and sought new eites for dances other
shan campus floors. The selected site, King's
ballroom, fitted in the bounds of the organiza
tion's budget
After clearing proper faculty and adminis
trative channels, ALT and faculty representa
tives investigated and visited King's ballroom.
Last month, Sarah Fulton, AUF president, pre
sented to Student Council members the proposal
of AUF for the off campus University sponsored
dance. It met approval there and now has the
nod from the faculty senate. The only stipula
tion is that student support of the dance will be
a factor In approving future off campus dances.
The question arising now is why is it neces
sary for a school this size to hold a University
sponsored dance off campus?
There are only two logical places to hold a
University dance on city campus. One place is the
Coliseum; the other is the Union ballroom. Ag
students have facilities for an all Ag campus
dance in the Activities building.
The capacity for the Union ballroom is about
1200 to 1500. When name bands appeared at the
ballroom, attendance sometimes was this high.
QohnhiuJisJu
9n, (jJoivdsihlwid
manager of Kings is donating the ballroom for
the event.
We believe AUF made a wise move. Al
though the spot is off campus, it may serve
to awaken other campus groups to the possibility
of having dances held .other places than the
Coliseum when they bite nails wondering if
they will end up In the red. Harry Carpenter,
manager of Kings, cetrainly deserves apprecia
tion of AUF and University students.
It is triumph for a campus organization and
students to find a place where it is possible to
get a good dance band, schedule a dance and give
proceeds to charity. The faculty is to be congratu
lated for their approval of the action. After all
it is an unprecedented move in face of seemingly
insurmountable campus difficulties.

Wars Are Senseless'; Movie
Imparts Message With Wallop
By STAFF REVIEWER
Wars are senseless.
A movie, "The Day the Earth
Stood Still," imparts this message.
And it does the job with a wal
lop. What's more, it is one of the
most different films produced in
a long lime.
The story concerns a space-ship
from an unnamed planet some
-J50 million miles from the earth.
With the space-ship comes Klaatu,
portrayed by Michael Rennie. and
a mechanical robot called Gord.
The two bring evidences of a
civilization for advanced from our
own.
When Klaatu steps from the
space-ship, he is shot by armed
guards who have surrounded the
ship. His later attempts to get
the leaders of nations to confer
with him are first met with
suspicion, then frustration.
In desperation, he tries to find
a way to learn about the people
of the earth. He finds sympathy

to recognize its stupidity.
The "miracles" of advanced
science presented in the picture
seem within the realm of pos
sibility. The powerfu? robot -5d

ideal situation. In fact, it would resemble sar
dines packed tightly.
The other dance floor is the Coliseum. While
this facilitates a large number of students, the
majority of campus organizations do not have
a large enough budget to risk renting the Coli
seum. Because of its size, a large band would
have to be booked for the dance in order
to make it successful. The investment is too
great for most groups and the rental fee alone
amounts to about $350 depending on the ar
rangements. - In the case of AUF, the group did not even
consider having the charity ball there because it
would be impossible to net any profits without
securing a name band. That was out of the ques
tion. It should be pointed out that the Coliseum
is not a University owned enterprise, but rather a
corporation operated on a business basis, not
through the University. Therefore, unless the or
ganization has the $350 to rent the building and
can risk booking a name band, they are better
off forgetting the Coliseum. AUF did not consider
the Union ballroom large enough for the type
of ball they planned, so other facilities were in
ternities may submit candidates for Ugliest Man
on Campus. Next week class officer filings open.
If you're an upperclassman with an accept
able average you probably would be eligible for
one of them. However, although too few stu
dents generally file for office, too many stu
dents file merely to gain political prestige.
Those students who file for an office and have
no interest in improving it have no business even
considering the job.
To be well known on this campus, it helps
to become an activity boy or girl or a party boy
or girl.
However, if you aspire to be both WELL
KNOWN and WELL RESPECTED, there is no
place for you in any group if you are there
merely for political purposes, namely to get
your candidate further and to "push" another.
You'll be comparatively well known when you
receive any post for which filings now are open.
But you will be even more well known for
dirty politicking unless you intend to devote
sincere efforts to the group. This has been
proved in past years by past officers. We're
idealistic in hoping to have every student who
files doing so because of ability and interest and
not because of politics. But there's always hope.
The vogue today may be to file for office,
vpstieated The result was scheduling the dance but you could easily join the parade of fools unless
at Kings. All proceeds will go to charity, for the you are actually interested in the office you seek.

Maybe It Was Monday, Maybe The Union;
Beer Can Creates Furor Among Students
Your Candid Reporter tried something new
Monday. This time no questions were asked, but
a lot of them were answered. What brought on
the remarkable change? Well, it was like this . . ,
The CR -wanted to know just what would
happen If someone was caught drinking beer in
the Union. So, she grabbed a beer can (empty)
and started through the sacred portals of our
student elub.
Among the amazed gasps of all, she walked
into the lounge during the baseball game. Im-
the deal on this?" Other patrons just stared
longingly.
When the waiter came to take the order, he
took one look at the can and said, "You'd better
keep that out of sight."
"Why, it's legal. The Union serves coke here
so they're listed as a cabaret, and therefore I can
mediately one anxious boy grabbed her arm and drink beer here if I don't buy it here."

effect?" He only shook his head and walked off.
Several asked where she got it. The Crib
would have been a good answer, but to avoid
stampedes the only comment was a "well" with
raised eyebrows.
One complete teetotaler whispered in shocked
tones, 'How long has this been going on?"
Duane Lake, director of the Union, was in on
the gag and stopped the CR in front of a crowd
and demanded to see her ID. 'Ul were amazed
that no action was taken.
Floating in to the Crib, beer can held high,
the CR saw more raised eyebrows and gasps.
One surprised coke drinker said, "Hey, what's
On the way out, there was more advice. Two
waiters told her to keep it hidden, and one told
the sad story of "some guy who got sent to
jail for having wine." The lecture was inter
rupted by the cashier who said, "Save your
brea(h it's probably all a joke anyway."
He was shut off with a faint whiff of the
can and retired with a worried look on his face.
Everything went well until the experiment
was almost over. Then some wiseacre from The
Daily Nebraskan staff yelled into the crowd,
"Hey, how come you're carrying an empty beer
can with you?"
With a red face and a story, the Candid Re
porter retired the "dead soldier" from duty.

All 50 of the boys trooped
over to the Kappa Delt house
at Kansas to get dates with 50
Kappa Delts. How did one so
rority get all the luck? One of
the boys bussed at the Kappa
Delt house here last year, and
arranged to meet some of the
Nebraska chapter girls after the
game.
On this week's pinning list are
Susie Tewell and Jerry Fenton,
Bill Marbaker and Dorothy Cap-

Incidentally, just as Bev Bush
was eettine ready for her pin

noticed that Bev. has been wear

Faculty, YWCA Discuss
Scholarship Vs. Activities
A number of University faculty
members and YWCA workers met
last week in the faculty lounge
in the Union to discuss the sub
ject of "Scholarship vs. Activi
ties." Faculty members who attended
the meeting were Miss Elsie Je
vons, Miss Mary Mielenz, Miss
Ruth Shinn, Summer House and
Dr. C. H. Patterson. Miss Sue
Arbuthnot, faculty advisor of YW,
and Barbara Bredthauer, student
advisor, were also present.
Another meeting will be held
Thursday in the faculty lounge
at 4:30 p.m.
The topic for discussion will be
"Religion and Higher Education."
All students and faculty mem
bers are invited to attend.

is also laid up.
This situation brings the philo

able deduction. Watch the wheels
turn in his pointed head as he
deducts syllogistically:
1. One sign of admiration is
imitation.
2. The boys hurt their legs and
the girls hurt their legs.
3. The girls admire the boys.
Of course, this is not strange.
It has been going on for centuries
with the poor women always tak
ing the initiative.
The situation is not bad, just
sad. Teachers have more students
late to classes. The girls can not
walk long distances and therefore
transportation must be found for
them. However, the phenomena
has led to an increase in the stock
market price of crutches.

Condition Of Judd
Reported Favorable
Scott Judd, University fresh
man who was unconscious for
more than 40 hours last week,
was reported in ''very favorable"
condition Tuesday by his doctor.
According to the doctor, Judd
"might possibly" be released from
the hospital Thursday.
He was found about 7:30 p.m.
last Wednesday in an unconscious
state by a Delta Tau Delta pledge
brother. Efforts to revive him
failed and he was rushed to Lin
coln General hospital.
His condition there remained
critical until Friday when he be
gan to show signs of conscious
ness. His parents, Dr. and Mrs. Del

New York Art
Gallery Honors
Prof. Meigs
Professor Walter Meigs of the
University art department has
Ljust been selected to become an
official member of the Downtown
Gallery in New York.
Meigs came to Nebraska in
1949. He first studied art at the
Lawrenceville preparatory school
under Dudley Morris. He received
a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree
from Syracuse University in 1941,
and a Diploma of Art from Fon
tainebleau, France, in 1939. After
serving with United States army
during the war he did graduate
work at the University of Iowa.
receiving his Master of Fine Arts
degree in 1949.
Duard W. Laging, Chairman of
the Department and Director of
the University Galleries, ex
plained that the invitation to
Meigs by one of the leading New
York Galleries is a significant
matter not only for Meigs but for
the state of Nebraska, since it in
dicates that our artists are pro
ducing works that are in demand
in one of the world's greatest art
centers.
Since joining the University
staff, he has exhibited extensively
and has received a number of
awards both locally and nation
ally. Among the most recent have
been the Luther Ely Smith Me
morial Award at the City Mu
seum of St. Louis for his paint-

latest releases. "And So to Sleep Again," both
came out this week. Patty's recording is average.
It lacks interpretation and follows a slow dreamy
beat throughout the disc. April Stevens' version
is by far the better. Her singing is superb. She
has that added touch in her vocalizing that may
be regarded as "sexy," but in reality it is perfect
phrasink and rhythm.
Elliot Lawrence and his orchestra have cut
a new LP disc entitled "Moonlight on the Cam
pas." Here are songs which are typical of the
American campus. Elliot captures the campus
spirit with "Down the Old Ox Road," "Moonlight
on the Campus," "The Halls of Ivy," and "The
Beer That I Left on the Bar," which I would
like to dedicate to the boys who almost missed
the train at Manhattan.
One of the reasons for the current return-of-the-dance
band movement is Jerry Gray. His
music is full toned, danceable and listonable. Jerry
was top arranger for Artie Shaw, Tex Beneke,
and the late Glenn Miller. With the new bands
coming up and playing what they called Miller
music, Jerry decided it was time to step in and
produce some of the real stuff. In the past few
months he has not only done that but he has im
proved and advanced Miller's music. Here are
some of Jerry's best number on his latest LP re
lease: "Day and Night," "Dancing in the Dark,""
and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes."
