appointed director of ag and city
campus Y.W.C.A.
Miss Wilson, who took her post
graduate work at roacalester Col
lege in St. Paul, Minnesota
graduated last year from the
School of Social Work in Minneapo
lis, Minnesota, will be the execu
tive head of Y.W.C.A., working
with the many varied groups, help
ing them to plan for the future and
work out any problems.
"We are especially emphasizing
the strengthening of the individual
and the reverance of Christian
faith to all to the student's life,"
Miss Wilson said.
"Our plans also include increas
ing the number of Lincoln girls in
the organization," Miss Wilson
stated.
"Y.W.C.A. work is a challenge
because it is an organization in
which students of varied racial,
religious and cultural back
grounds can develop a better un
derstanding of each other by work
ing together," Miss Wilson said.
Miss Wilson's interests are many
including music and sports.
"I am eagerly awaiting the foot
ball and basketball games but I'm
afraid I am going to miss skiing
when winter comes," Miss Wilson,
a native of Minnesota, commented.

quarters. A special Pogo Rally for Pogo
chairmen only will be held in
Room 313 of the Union, today at
5 p.m. At this time the Pogo cam
paign will be fully explained.
Campaign manager Jensen, in
commenting on the presidential
election of 1956, stated that he
"believes" if Pogo gets the most
votes "he'll win."
Jensen went on to say, "The
purpose of the Pogo Campaign
is to give those people without
a strong candidate in mind a per
son of unblemished character that
they can unhesitantly support."
"If a third party arises on the
campus with the desire of aid
ing and abetting Pogo, let it," he
said. .
Commenting on Pogo's absence
from all political conventions to
date, party spokesman Walt Kelly,
a cartoonist, explained, "It is just
that he wants to give everybody
a fair chance."
"For him to sweep the conven
tion hall and take the nomination
by storm would be undemocratic,"
Kelly went on to say.
"He does not feel that he should
dictate the nomination. Neither will
he say who is for vice."
"He feels that the best man for
the job would be the best man;
whoever was for vice last time,
unless he is shilly shallower, should
be for vice again."
The Lancaster Pogo Headquar
ters is also distributing a question
naire in an effort to obtain cross
campus opinion on "vital polici
cal issues" according to Ireland.

Tickets for the Tony Martin va
riety show sponsored by the Union
will go on sale Tuesday from 10
a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 3 to 5
p.m. in the Union booth.
The program, which features
Martin, Tex Beneke, and the Glenn
Miller Orchestra, is scheduled for
Oct. 12 in the Coliseum. Other
stars include The Jodimars (for
merly Bill Haley's Comets), the
Petticoats, Conn and Mann, and
Johney O'Brian, all of whom have
appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Marilyn Staska, co-ordinator for
the show, said Monday that the
show is "the best variety show on
the road this year and Nebraska
is very fortunate to get it." The
show will travel to various uni
versities over the country for a
period of two weeks only.
Student tickets only will be sold
in the Union booth. Price of the
special student tickets are $1, and
are for the rear balcony.
Tickets on the mainfloor will
be available at the Union Ticket
Office, according to Polly Downs,
chairman of the ticket sales. These
better tickets range in price from
$1.50 to $3.00, she said.
Martin, who is the main attrac
tion of the program, is well known
as a movie star, singer, bandlead
er, night club entertainer, and top
recording artist. His career really
began when he organized his own
band while attending Oakland High
School in his home town of Oak
land, Calif. He had established a
reputation as a night club per
sonality when he decided to try
his luck in Hollywood. His big
break came when Daryl Zanuck
heard him and signed him for a
contract which was later to ex
pand into a career which includ
ed such pictures as "Music In My
Heart," "Ziegfield Girl," "The
Big Story", "Show Boat," "Till
The Clouds Roll By" and "Here
Come The Girls."
Tex Beneke, who began his ca
reer as a saxophone player with
the Glenn Miller band, had scored
many such hits as "Kalamazoo,"
"Chattanooga Choo Choo," "Ida"
and his masterful sax hit "Body
and Soul," before he was asked
to take over the band when Miller
was declared "missing in action"
during the war. Today he is ac
cepted by the public, not only in
lieu of Glenn Miller's band, but
as a recognized band leader in
his own right. .
Publicity for the variety pro
gram will be handled by Union
committee members Roy Boyd
and Karen Dryden. "All students
who want to attend should be
warned to purchase their tickets
early, because all previous engage
ments of this type for the Martin
show have been sold out well in
advance of curtain time," the
Union announced.

Five Women Enroll
In ' A! CI Law School
By GARY FRENZEL
Staff Writer
Five women, the lareest number
ever to enroll are attending the
University of Nebraska Law Col
lege this fall.
Thev are the first women to en
roll in the colleee in the cast five
years. Dean Edmund Belsheim,
Dean of the Law College saia
there was no apparent reason for
the gap in women students at the
college.
The women are Gretchen Christ
opher, Sarah Jane Cunningham,
Arlys Welch, Rose Greene ana
Norma Wright.
Dean Belshiem was surprised at
the unusually large number of
women, but he does not believe
that a trend has been started.
The collene is always glad to
have women students said Dean
Belsheim. Nebraska has always
had a fair representation of wo
men in the law college in the past.
Dean Belsheim pointed out
that women who have graduated
from the law college in the past
have done very well m active
practice.
Miss Christopher told the Ne
braskan that her first four days
in the law college seemed very
different than undergraduate work,
hut she was treated no different
ly than the men. She said that she
decided upon law as a career be
cause she was not interested in
routine but wanted a career of
choices. Law offers 13 separate
fields to choose from, and work is
far from routine, she said.
Miss Christopher acquired her
interest in law from working in
several law colleges.
Miss Welch completed her un
dergraduate work at the Univer
sity of Omaha. Her first impres
sion of the law college centered
around the large amount of study
ing necessary. Law college stu-

first day's assignments due before

Miss Welch has been treated as
any other law student. A professor
at Omaha University and her fa
ther were instrumental in her
choice of law as a career.
She said that many fields in gov

open to women. It is more difficult
for women to enter some of these
fields, but women are active in all
of them.
