arb Women To Ag
By BARB SHARP
Copy Editor
Independent women in the Resi
dence Halls for Women have been
informed that a number of them
will have to move to the Colonial
Terrace Apartments to make
room for incoming freshmen.
Comptroller John Selleck said
that the new addition to the dorm,
to house 160 women, will not be
finished for another year.
Enrollments received for the fall
semester have been more numer
ous than last year and the total
number of women students is ex
pected to increase considerably
over last year's enrollment, he
said.
Assistant Dean for Women Hel
en Snyder said that because of
this increased enrollment it will
be necessary for some of the wom
en now living in the Dorm to move
to the brick apartments located on
Ag Campus.
The Colonial Terrace apartments
were originally purchased by the
University for faculty housing. -
Miss Snvder explained the cir
cumstances to upper-class women
in the Dorm. ... " Kat upper-
.ismen in Ag College will have
first preference and will then be
followed by city campus upper-
classmen.
She explained that the girls will
have an opportunity to sign up if

Critic: Inspector General
Production Confusing
By ELLIE GUILLIATT
Staff Reviewer
In discussing a play in the role
of critic, one assumes a two-fold re
sponsibility the first is an honest
and forthright appraisal of a given
production for the reader, the sec
ond a just and disinterested crit
icism of what one says within the
limits of the procenium arch for
the benefit of the performers.
Of the production of "The Inspec
tor General" I can only say that
it was a confusing, consistently
shouted, vaudvillan performance
of a delightful and SUBTLE piece
of dramatic literature. The actors
presented caricatures and often
unpleasanitiy botched renditions of
the characters written with such
artistry by Nikolai Gogol.
Each performer played his part
to the hilt, forgetting that, figura
tively speaking, the pin prick of
satire is often more exciting than
the sword's plunge of farce. This
production has all the slap-stick
quality (I use the term advisedly)
of the now defunct Fall Revue.
Ted Nittler, who portrayed the
quasi-inspector, Hlestakov, d i s-
they would like to live in the
apartments. She emphasized that
it was not compulsory as she be
lieved that there would be enough
girls who would want to move out
on Ag.
Colonial Terrace consists of
apartments accommodating five
women in each one. Miss Sny
der said that approximately 100
women could be housed there.
The women would have to fix
their own breakfast and would
have to buy their other meals in
the Ag Cafeteria or at other resi
dence halls. She told the women
that there would be a reduction of
$90 in living expenses, according to
residents. - .
Opinion in the Dorm was said
to be mainly against the proposed
move with the exception of girls
enrolled in Ag College.
"Actually there aren't too many
Ag girls in the Dorm and we re
ceived the impression that if there
aren't 100 Ag girls, we will have
Mahama Expels Student
for Outrageous Attacks
By JUDY BOST
News Editor
The University of Alabama has
expelled one student, suspended
four others and punished many ad
ditional students for participation
in the Feb. 6 riot which drove Ne
gro coed Autherine Lucy from
the campus.
Leonard Wilson, sophomore
from Selma, Ala., was called from
his classes and expelled, Wilson
had foretold his own dismissal in
addresses at two pro-segregation
rallies.
wuson had also called - for a
"top to bottom housecleaning" at
the university during a Birming
ham white Citizens Council meet.
University trustees said Wilson had
made "unwarranted and outrage-
eous public attacks" on the integ
rity of the President, faculty and
officers of the university.
Miss Lucy, first Negro admitted
to the school, was expelled when she
offered no proof of charges that
trustees and school officials had
conspired to get her cut of school.
Names of other students involved
in the punitive actions were not
disclosed by university officials.
Nation-wide attention was also
focused on the plight of Virgil Haw
kins, 48-year-old Negro who has
been trying to get admitted to the
University of Florida law school for
seven years.
Monday, the Supreme Court de

Competition Open
The annual Ag College photo
contest began Monday and will
end April 6, according to Carolyn
Freeman, chairman of the contest.
Entries will again be in two cate
gories this year black and white

of campus activities and of any
type of scenery can be entered in
either category, she said.
Each contestant will be allowed
only two entries in each category,

The size of the black and white

played a refreshing aenie of
comedy, but too often he let his
character slip from the masterful,
beguiling rogue which the play
demanded into an audacious im
poster who almost simpered his
way through the play.
The Mayor, played by Charles
Weatherford, who was supposedly
the most greedy and ingenious
member of the group of city offic
ials, needed much more contrast
and definition in his character.
Of the other principals of the
play, Miss Miller as Marya, Larry
Hansen as Shepkin, Len Schropfer
as Bobchinsky and Noel Schoen
rock as Dobchinsky, I would say
that in general they played their
parts excellently within the noisy
turmoil of the performance.
From a technical standpoint
there were some obvious lacks
of perception; explicitly, the act
ors had difficulty keeping the
doors from swinging open and the
music drowned the actors voices
when it was used during the prog
ress of the play. May I also suggest
a good pressing of the costumes.

said one resident.
She added that the girls believe
they have the choice of either mov
ing out to Ag or living somewhere
else in Lincoln as there isn't room
for them in tJhe Dorm."
Another resident stated that
"we don't want to move to Ag be
cause of the inconvenience. It
would mean that we would have to
commute to city campus, take our
meals outside the apartments and
we feel that this would probably
amount to more than the $90 re

whether the situation would be

Court permitting a delay in the

The Florida court had appointed
a commissioner to hear testimony
on the question as to when Haw

Last week, the Supreme Court
affirmed a lower court decision
that the 1954 desegregation order

and universities.
Both the Hawkins and Lucy
cases are considered reactions of

Both have been subject to intensive
campaigns to "Keep "Bama

implementation of the 1954 ruling.

Caucus, Party Statements
Set Scene For Convention
. By PEG KELLEY
Ncbraskan Reporter
State delegations to the mock po
licital convention are setting an
exciting campaign scene with their
caucus meetings, political dinners,
colorful banners, flags and brass
bands.
"I think the convention is won
derful," James Harrison, adviser
for the convention, said, "and the
students who don't cooperate are
missing a lot of fun."
"In fact," he added, "I think
the mock convention will be lots
more fun than the annual panty
raid." ,
Harrison pointed out that the
purpose of the convention is to let
students be "in the know" about
political campaigns. "Students
seem to be learning more about
politics this way than they would
in three years of my classes," Har
rison stated.
"The Executive Committee is
solid gold," he stressed, "and those
students who have cooperated,
have cooperated 200 per cent."
The various state delegations
have been having regular caucus
meetings to decide which candi
dates they plan to support and
on their party platforms and to
review the convention rules to
seen if an amendment would be
more satisfactory for them.

A California delegate, George

not going to support a Republican.
"The Democratic stand is pret
ty much our stand," Moyer said
"except on segregation, and w
support the Constitution."
"We are not, at this time, &
vulging our stand," the California
delgate stated, "because we wish
to be in a position to throw our
support in a way in which will do
the party the most good."
The Californian state delegation
gave a dinner Tuesday night to
get their support organized and to
find out how they stand with the
other delegations.

"Russell stands for everything
that a good Southerner would want
in a President integrity, exper
ience, liberatlity," Jackie Gunn,
chairman of the Alabama Delega
tion, said, "and he also is for
states' rights."
"We're for lowering taxes for
the low income tax groups and
for a strong military defense pro
gram," Miss Gunn stated.
Miss Gunn pointed out that Ala
bama firmly believes that the Su
preme Court's decision regarding;
integration in the public schools
is unconstitutional. "The Federal
Government should neither die
tate nor control educational pol
icy," she said.
"It is our stand that all states
should have the right to solve
their own internal problems, Miss
Gunn stated, "and that by usurp
ing this power the Supreme Court
has gone against all of the demo
cratic principles on which our
government is based."
"We are trying by representing
our state as fairly as possible
to make this convention authentic,"
Miss Gunn said. "It's hard for
Nebraskans," she added, "to un
derstand the Southerners' view
point on segregation because their
way of life and security is not
being htreatened."
