Editorial Comment:
Howell's Folks Provide
Good Season's Shows
Friday, Masquers will meet to hand out
their annual awards for best actress, ac
tor, supporting actor and actress.
The little statuettes the winners receive .
. will have a name for the first time. What
it is, we don't know as that will be re
vealed at the banquet
Whatever it is, it will offer the Univer
sity something unique in the way of
awards. Also, the awards will be a re
ward, however small, for some people
who have done a great job so far this
year.
By and large, University theatre has at
tained its usual high standard of enter
tainment. The Howell folks have an ad
vantage most of the time, of course, be
cause they usually put on productions that
have been hits on Broadway.
But a lot of the Howell plays have been
made into movies too, which creates a
tendency for University students to com
pare the University production with the
picture. In spite of competition with cine
mascope, famous casts, and Hollywood
technical effects, Howell can frequently
turn out a product that is just as enter
taining as anything playing downtown.
Tha Daily Nebraskan would like to sub
mit its selections for the best of the year.
This isn't saying these people should win
the awards we are just doing some
guessing on who the Masquers will pick
Friday.
For best actor, It looks like Charles
"Skip" Weatherford for his convincing
Shylock .in' the "Merchant of Venice"
James Baker as Petruchio in "The Tam
ing of the Shrew" also provided some
memorable moments and could sneak in
for the big prize.
" Favored in the tough women's division
is Jo Couch as Portia in "Merchant."
Bona Tebo Hayes, last year's winner, of
fered Howell audiences a pair of good
ones with her Mrs. Levi in "Matchmaker"
and Katherine in "Taming of the Shrew." '
A newcomer, Judy Porkorny, as Mrs. Mil
lar in "Ah Wildnerness" will probably be
close.
Best supporting actor may be Roy Wil
ley for Malachi Stack in "Matchmaker"
Where Are Nominees?
Three students and one faculty, mem
ber have been nominated so far for this
semester's Outstanding Nebraskan award.
When one looks over the past four
months, many fine examples of outstand
ing leadership and service to the uni
versity he can't help but think that there
should be a stack of nominating letters
an inch high.
Don't be guilty of "he hasn't got a
chance" attitude. As a matter of fact the
Nebraskan staff has often in the past
made the award to those who have been
for the most part unrecognized in any
other way for their unselfish service.
Surely you know an "Outstanding Nebraskan!"
with Dick Marrs as Sid in "Ah Wilder
ness" also near the top. Ellie Kessler, with
any one of three performances, and Joyce
Weir with Lillie Miller in "Ah Wilder
ness" are prespects for the best support
ing female role along with a host of others.
Best show of the season, if there was
an award for that, would have to be "The
Matchmaker" with "Taming of the Shrew"
and "Merchant of Venice" tied for second.
However it comes out, thanks a lot to
the Masquers, their workers and all the
theatre people for a very good season.
Standing In
Something new -has been added to
Journalism,
Something that Journalism professors
never mention in their lectures.
A neat copy desk.
During my short visit with the Rag I
discovered the way in which females are
trying to monopolize the field of journal
ism. The traditional newspaperman is a
hard-drinking, died-in-the-wool custer
whose desk takes on the appearance of a
garbage can. But here at the female-predominated
Daily Nebraskan, neatness is
the law. '
I found this out when I reached into va
cationing Diana Maxwell's desk to obtain
a copy pencil, I found everything as
sembled in neat, little piles. Everything
was easy to find and right at hand.
There is no cussing In the Daily Nebras
kan office anymore. The male members
of the staff (all three of them) treat their
colleagues with the utmost politeness.
Soft "pleases" and "thank you's" emulate
from the mouth of the ever-smiling editor.
Gone are the days of "Soaring" Sam Jen
sen and "Crusading" Bruce Brugmann.
Why in the old days even Lucigrace Swit
zer and Sarah Jones (Gadeken now) were
known to cuss a little.
Quiet Editor?
It teems as though the talk-softly policy
Initiated by the "quiet" editor e.e. Hines
has been carried over into the regime of
by Bob Martel
congenial George Moyer. In case you
don't know who George Moyer is, he's the
brother of Jon Moyer. Jon is the black
sheep of the family. He has written but
one letter home this semester. (Daily Ne
braskan March 12, 1959).
Cornhusker
The Cornhusker office has changed a
little also. There is no longer a Bev Buck
present to annoy the Rag
editor. Bev, as you prob
ably know, annoyed Jack
Pollack so much that he
married her. Now they
are raising little "Jim'
Dashes" between editions
flf Sirlnpv
LlQ j The Cornhusker and
3 I Rg offices have been the
k Lmi scenes of several other
Martel mating games.
Fred Daly kept news
editor Judy Bost working such late hours
that rather than accumulate too many
late minutes she married the boss. Biff
Morrison and Sharon McDonald decided
that working together was such fun that
it shouldn't end with the publishing of the
'59 yearbook. Jensen was known to spend
most of his time in the Cornhusker office
when Marilyn Heck was one of its editors.
And then there was Dick Shugrue who
gave up his romantic affairs to help elect
a new mayor.
Memories, memories, how this office
brings back memories.

Exam Schedule
Brings Council,
Senate Kudos
A big vote of thanks to the Faculty
Senate for passing the Student Council
"dead day" proposal.
And another one to the Student Council
for pushing the thing through.
Too many times in the past the Council
has been accused of being a do nothing
organization. This year, under the lead
ership of president Dwaine Rogge, a defi
nite move has been made to eliminte this
stigma.
We hope the next year's Council will
carry on the good start made. First item
on the agenda for next year's Council
ought to be a revision of the present con
stitution to eliminate confusion over rep
resentation in the Colleges of Pharmacy
and Dentistry.
Undoubtedly the new Council will face
issues such as the exam schedule and the
registration crisis as the 59-60 school term
progresses. The Daily Nebraskan hopes
that similar examples of positive leader
ship and starchy backbones under fire
will be displayed.
As in the past, we hope that we will be
able to extend our cooperation to the
Council in the best interests of the student
body when such issues arise.
Never Indispensable
" As long as we are In such a pleasant
mood today, thanking everybody for this
and that, we might direct another thank
you to some folks we couldn't have done
without.
We speak, of course, of the old pros
folks who have been through the J-School
program and therefore, weren't eligible
for the field trip. They have come down
and given us a big boost while our regular
staff has been out carousing in far off
Hastings and Grand Island.
The whole setup has worked so well that
managing editor for the last two days,
Bob Martel, news editor John Hoerner
and reporter-photographer Del Hood are
thinking of taking over the whole show full
time and collecting everybody's pay check.
A fella is just never indispensable.

It might be easier for me
to interview President Ike,

department. And even if

Well. I
was just Kandy
trying to get the name of
the new faculty member
who would be teaching
Russian for the fall of 1959
60. Two courses in Russian
a beginning course and a
second year course will be
offered by the University
of Nebraska for the fall of
1959-60. Currently there is
one second semester Rus
sian course that is being
offered by the University
and there are about 20 stu
dents who are taking ad
vantage of it.
More Study
The need for more for
eign language study, espe
cially the more widespread
knowledge of Russian, is
inevitable. The question is
no longer if Russian should
be taught in American
grade schools, high schools,
colleges and universities,
but how fast could this be
put into effect. We should
not be reluctant to be "real
istic for the fact is that
Russia Is moving quickly in
its effort to introduce more
foreign languages in its
schools, colleges and uni
versiites. Which Is the best period
to start a foreign language?

To the Editor:
Congratulations on writing
the good article on religion.
I believe this was very good.
I was only refuting two
stories that appeared. My
point is that religion is
somewhat far from dead
here at the U. I suggest
that all the facts be checked
on such as how many go to

It seems to me that chil
dren learn languages easier
when very young and should
begin a foreign language
not later than the first
grade. I know of some Chi
nese schools who teach a
foreign language in their
first grade, and by the
time the pupils graduate
from high schools they have
mastered both the native
and the foreign language.
According to Professor
Yokuo Uyearao the de
partment of Japanese of the
University of Hawaii, -"The
American is the lowest in
the list in number of years
devoted to foreign langu
ages; is oldest at time of
starting a second language;,
and notorious for beginning"
languages as late as college
or even graduate school."

I would not be wrong in
stating that one of the bar
riers to good international
relations is language. If
there were one universal
language we would under
stand each other better and
there would be no such
chaos as now. '

SCHULTZ IS
A MANY SPLENDORED THING
Beppo Schultz, boulevardier, raconteur, connoisseur, sportsman,
bon vivant, hail fellow well met in short, typical American
college man smokes today's new Marlboros.
"Why do you smoke today's new Marlboros, hey?" a friend
recently asked Beppo Schultz.
"I smoke today's new Marlboros," replied Beppo, looking up
from his 2.9 litre L-head Hotchkiss drive double overhead cam
shaft Btish sports car, "because they are new."
"New?" said the friend. "What do you mean new?"
"I mean the flavor's great, the filter's improved, the cigarette
is designed for today's easier, breezier living," said Beppo.
"Like this 2.9 litre L-head Hotchkiss drive double overhead
camshaft British sports car?" asked the friend.
"Exactly," said Beppo.
"She's a beauty," said the friend, looking admiringly at the
ear. "How long have you had her?"
"It's a male," 6aid Beppo.
"Sorry," said the friend. "How long have you had him?1
"About a year," said Beppo.
"Have you done a lot of work on him?" asked the friend.
"Oh, have I not !" cried Beppo. "I have replaced the pushrods
with a Roots type supercharger. I have replaced the torque with
a synchromesh. I have replaced the tachometer with a double
side draft carburetor."
"Gracious!" exclaimed the friend.
"I have replaced the hood with a bonnet," said Beppo.
"Land o' Goshen!" exclaimed the friend.
f'And I have put gloves in the glove compartment," said Beppo.
"My, you have been the busy one," said the friend. "Yo
must be exhausted."
"Maybe a trifle," said Beppo, with a brave little smile.
"Know what I do when I'm tired?" said the friend.
"Light a Marlboro?" ventured Beppo.
"Oh, pshaw, you guessed !" said the friend, pouting.
"But it was easy," said Beppo, chuckling kindlily. "When the
eyelids droop and the musculature sags and the psyche is de
pleted, what is more natural than to perk up with today's new
Marlboro?"
"A great new smoke with better 'makin's' and a great new
filter!" proclaimed the friend, his young eyes glistening.
"Changed to keep pace with today's changing world!" de
clared Beppo, whirling his arms in concentric ciroles. "A ciga
rette for a sunnier age, an age of greater leisure and more beck
oning horizons!"
Now, tired but happy, Beppo and his friend lit Marlboros and
smoked for a time in deep, silent contentment. At length the
friend spoke. "He certainly is a beauty," he said.
"You mean my 2.9 litre L-head Hotchkiss drive double over
head camshaft British sports car?" asked Beppo.
"Yes," said the friend. "How fast will he go?"
"Well, I don't rightly know," said Beppo. "I can't find the
starter." ciuaMusnuimaa
