Planning Purposes jg Union Veliminory Survey A preliminary survey for plan ning purposes for the new Ag Un ion will be filled by Ag students when they register for next semes ter's classes. The student survey will be con cue ted with the cooperation of Dr. Franklin Eldredge, associate direc tor of resident instruction. Junior Knobel, former president of the Ag Union Activities Board, said it is hoped, to realize from this survey the needs and desires of Ag College surdanis for the fa cilities they want and will use. He added that the results of the sur vey will be very significant in the final planning of the new Ag Un ion which will serve the students to the fullest extent. The student survey is a compre hensive coverage of residence, transportation, and present use of Union facilities and programs.

Men's Orches is. "Dance Is Life," is the theme of the concert which depicts the four stages of a person's life: child hood, "The Beginning of Life;" ad olescence, "Growing Pains;" adult hood, "The Tempest;" and old age, "Young at Heart." Starting with a gently breathing movement, the dance "Beginning of Life" includes - the feelings of a child in his first few stages of life. The different emotions of fear, satisfaction, curiosity and happi ness are included in the dance which opens the program. In the adolescence period "Grow ing Pains" dancers depict the dif ferent phases and experiences of a teenager. A rhythm number ab stracts the jazz and jitterbug era A number entitled "The Fugi tive" represents juvenile delin quency and the crime wave. The Pre Orchesis group will dance this number. "Strife", one of the dances in the adult stage of development, shows two equal forces pitted against each other. The struggle is a stale mate with each side getting only slight temporary advantages. One group finally overcomes the other and is victorious. In the number entitled "Wheels of Industry" the dancers are part of a giant typewriter. A free, light- hearted effect is created in the number entitled "Moods." An interpretation of 1984 is a comedy number in which each danc er has an exaggerated motif. The situation begins in the present until a giant machine explodes and the persons are flown into the future. The scene becomes a park on a Sunday afternoon in the year 1984. Each dancer represents a special type of character such as the "leafless one," the "still one," and the "alergie one." The old age section is represent ed in tbe dance "Young at Heart." The program closes with a spiritual number, "Now the Day Is Over." Charles Sprague is the vocal solo ist while a dance trio interprets tbe prayer.

After tbe riot, all Event plans were c wee fled, with tbe exception of tbe Billy May dance What was tbe Spring Event plan? Tom Woodward, Event commit tee chairman, said that Duane Lake, Union director, obtained a contract with Billy May's band for May 11 at a reduced rate. Com Cobs underwrote the cost of the dance $1250 plus expense for ad vertising and setting up the Coli seum. The Administration would dis miss classes for a half day and a bicycle race and water fight was planned for the afternoon preceding the dance. What happened after contracts with Billy May were signed? Jim Cederdahl set up the bicycle race program, which was to be on a team basis -with tandem bikes. Marv Stromer laid the ground work to have teams from Admin istration and faculty entered in the competition. Joe Knapp bad plans endorsed by the Office of the Dean of Women. Dick FeUman and Ann Kokjer arranged to hold the water fight at tbe University athletic field. Cederdahl arranged to nave N Club members officiate. Working with Corn Cobs, Mike Shugrue took full responsibility for the dance. Corn Cobs and the committee realized that the dance could not be a break-even event with tickets priced at 50 cents. Members wrsked $10 each from or ganized bouses to make the low admission price financially possi ble. First to vote support was Selleck Quadrangle, Woodward vaid, when each of the 16 houses decided to give $10 to the dance fund. Fraterni ties followed suit the next das through Interfraternity Council, 17 The selection committee will be composed of the new editor and editorial page editor of The Ne braskan, who will be announced in Wednesday's Nebraskan; John Gourlay, president of the Innocents Friday, May 20, 1955 Golkli Tops List Of Afeiv ICC Officers Vic Golletz, sophomore in the College of Business Administration, m-as elected president of the Inter Co-op Council Thursday.

Lewandowski, business manager of athletics, made ar rangements for the Union to use the Coliseum free of charge, and Duane Lake, in turn, donated the free night to the Event sponsors. What happened after the riot? Selleck Quadrangle houses decid ed to withdraw their donation from the dance fund; instead, the money was donated to The Nebraskan 's riot relief fund. Plans for a water fight did not seem to have much purpose after the riot, Woodward said. He did not think the bike race alone would have made a good afternoon's program. Wb called off tbe afternoon events? The committee never had a for mal meeting on this. However, Woodward conferred with several committee members and made the decision after finding they shared his opinions. Why, then, wasn't the dance called off? Tbe committee could not cancel the dance because of the $1250 con tract. Why weren't plans made public early in tbe year? Plans were not complete and re leasing "ideas and only tentative plans was not considered wise, Woodward said. What kind of cooperation !3 the commute get? From tie Administration, cooper ation was good, Woodward said, but from the students, there was none. The committee asked for ideas several times in Tbe Ne braskan, but received little re sponse. Who did most of the work within tbe committee? Upperclassmen did most of tbe work, Woodward said, and younger members of the committee did very little. The independent member re signed by letter. Several members, IrW nop aims Pkkd Society; Gail Katskee, president of Mortar Boards, and the two previous Outstanding Nebraskan faculty members, Donald Olson, assistant professor of speech, and Emmanuel Wishnow, professor of violin and conductor of the Uni versity Symphony Orchestra.

The letter nominating Miss Knapp said, "She has served as president of Mortar Board for the past year, and has done a very good job." A Biz Ad major, Miss Knapp is a member of Beta Gam ma Sigma and Chi Omega. The writer of the letter nominat ing Stromer said that he deserved the honor because "of his unfailing interest in the University during his four years on campus, and be cause of his contributions to the betterment of the University.'

Tbe Board has recommended that tbe Committee on Student Affairs turn down ap plicants for a humor magazine. Dick FeUman, spokesman for the applicants, appeared before the Board during the discussion of tbe matter. According to Breslow's report, the Board feels that plans for the publication are financially im practical and that other details are necessary. Tbe Board recommended that the applicants either revise and resubmit their proposal or get some other group to back the magazine financially. The Board felt their money was obligated to existing publications rather than a new venture, the report said. j, Mike Shugrue presented a re- Fight Abandoned After Panty Raid simply stopped attending meetings. What about future Spring Events? Commenting on the success of the dance, Woodward said he believed prospects are good. However, a committee should be organized ear lier in the year, he said, and should have more definite organization. Most important, Woodward stressed, is to discover if students want a spring event. Maybe the only way to find out is to present one, and see how well it is at tended, he said; but this is an ex pensive way to measure student opinion. The Outside World' Air Brass By DICK Staff Writer Air force brass in Washington cannot agree on the relative strength of Russian and American air power. Brig. Gen. Woodbury M. Bur gess, deputy chief of staff for intelligence of the Continental Air Com mand said in an authorized speech, "The Russian Air Force is currently at least as good as ours, if not better." However, Air Force Secretary Harold Talbott and Chief of Staff Gen. Nathan Twining expressed disagreement with that fear. Twining said Burgess "did not tell the truth." Twining and Talbott both expressed surprise at the current fear of Russian Air power. They both expressed confidence that American air power is not falling behind that of the Russians. Disarmament Gaps Lessen Disarmament talks between Russia and four western powers were adjourned in London Wednesday far two weeks in order to "give the five governments represented an opportunity to consider the situa tion now reached and the progress since the talks began." Tbe Big Four powers plus Canada form a subcommittee of the United Nations Disarmament Commission. The American representa tive to the group reported after the adjournment, "To a measurable degree tbe gaps between us seem to have been lessened." British Not Excited The current British election campaigning is failing to attract much excitement from British voters. According to reports, the big name candidates such as Eden, Atlee and Bevan 'are drawing moderate crowd, but lesser names find the voters .staying down to the corner pub in droves.

Jensen, a senior in Teachers Col lege, was nominated because of his services as president of the Residence Association for Men. The letter said, "Without previous administrative experience in a campus organization, he has de voted himself tirelessly to his duty. This was to organize the men in the new Selleck Quadrangle so that they could benefit frrrn organized dormitory and campus activities.' The letter of nomination conclud ed, "Doug Jensen has achieved tbe beginnings of organization in such circumstances remarkably well and has high hopes for the future. Such was the faith of RAM mem bers in him that they re-elected him president for another year. port of the Special Spring Event Committee recommending that tbe group be allowed to continue its work next year.
