Puppets
Puppets have come to the
aid of the nation's mathemat
ics teachers in an attempt
to make math more exciting
and entertaining to Ameri
can youngsters.
Bil Baird and His Marion
ettes Snarky Parker, Gar
gle, Slugger, Charlemane and
many others team with Prof.
Howard Fehr, head of the
Mathematics Department of
Columbia . University's
Teachers College and presi
dent of the American Coun
cil of Teachers of Mathemat
ics, in a new television
series, "Adventures in Num
ber and Space", which starts
tonight at 7:00 on KUON-TV.
Series
The series of nine half
hour films was made avail
able to the University's edu
cational television station,
Channel 12, by the Westing
house Broadcasting Company.
According to WBV, the
series is designed "for Junior
high school students and
bright adults."
Dr. Fehr, who also served
as consultant for the program
and collaborated on the
scripts with Baird, explains
that "Adventures in Number
and Space" does not attempt
to teach mathematics. That
is a job for the teachers.
What it does aim to do is
to make it interesting and
appealing, while showing how
mathematics opens doors to
many careers.
Simplicity
A large share of this mis
sion falls on Baird and his
puppet characters who at
tempt to simply and engag
ingly explain basic principles
of mathematics in the filmed
series. .
Using such examples of
practical math as the laying
out of a baseball diamond as
a point of reference, Baird
and the puppets trace back
through the ages to the be
ginnings of the particular
branch of math under discus
sion. As the series progresses,
the puppets will be seen as

Faculty Gives
$670 in Drive
Personal Contacts
Prove Successful
AUF collected approx
imately $670 from the faculty
members as a result of their
new "personal contact" ap
proach. The approach consisted of
sending faculty members let
ters asking for contributions
and personally contacting
some of them.
The faculty of the College
of Arts and Sciences were
those who were contacted
either by AUF board mem
bers or assistants.
"We feel that our personal
contact method has been very
successful," commented Kar
en Schuster of AUF.
"All of the members were
well received by the faculty
members. We hope we were
able to give them a better
undrstanding of AUF and its
purpose," she added.
The money collected will be
divided among six charities;
World University Service, the
American Cancer Society,
Muscular Dystrophy, the Ne
braska division of the Nation
al Society for Crippled Chil
dren and Adults, the Lincoln
Community Chest and the
Lancaster Association for Re
tarded Children.
"Those who still want to
contribute may send their
checks to AUF, Union 306,"
according to Miss Schuster.

Give-A way Raises
Storms Of Protest
By Diana Maxwell
Copy Editor
No University
student
Friday.
Some student or group of students will win a car on
skill, however.
Protest
Plans to give away the car at the street dance Friday
ran into storms of protest as calls to the County Attorney's
office called the give-away to the attention of the men in the
courthouse.
The hows of the situation
haven't been worked out yet by
confused Spring Day commit
tee members, but this time
they are doing their darndest
to make sure everything is
legal.
Under state law, raffles are
illegal. Assistant county at
torney Dale Fahrnbruch said
that state laws 28-961, 28-962
and 28-963 outlaw such give
aways when the winner is de
termined by chance.
Bob Smidt, Spring Day
chairman, said his commit
tee has now decided to award
the car in a contest.
Legal Method
Fahrnbruch informed the
Daily Nebraskan that this
method of giving away the
car would be legal.
"If based on a contest, it
would be legal, he said.
Smidt said his committee
had checked the legality of
the drawing before announc
ing it.
"Due to a misunderstanding
of the nature of the award it
was believed that a drawing
could be held," Smidt said.
Basis of Skill
"Further information has
revealed that this does not
meet the state requirement
and the car will be awarded
on the basis of skill," he
added.
Some kind of a contest will
definitely be conducted, Smidt
said. His committee will meet
today to decide on the de
tails. Frank Hallgren, dean of
men, told Smidt Tuesday night
i that the only question he
would have is as to who would
judge the contest.
The car, donated by B o b
Ring Autos, originally was to
be given away at a drawing
held during the street dance
Friday. Tickets for the car
were to be obtained at the
sports events between 3-5 p.m.
Chairman Bob Smidt went
to the Courthouse and dis
cussed the situation with
Fahrnbruch. After being as

will win a
car at a drawing
sured by him that giving
away the car to a contest win
ner was legal, it was decided
to handle the "hot" car that
way.
Suggestions that might be
acted upon by the Spring
Day committee include: 1. a
contest for a new name for
Spring Day, 2. a contest guess
ing the number of persons at
tending the events or 3. a con
test to name the car.
Bob Handy, Union Activities
Director, quipped, "I guess
all I can say is when in doubt,
seek legal aid."
"Whew," commented Smidt
