"He repre sents the pure flowering of medieval knighthood." Morgan added that Shakes peare often taunted chivalry, where it was an honor to fight for fighting's sake and esteemed ;valorous to -die. Opposing this belief in the play was the second force the materialist. Laughing, brawling Falstaff is the por trayer. He is the other side that sees through the folly of war being glorious, said Mor gan.

In the middle stands Prince Hal, a kind of "juvenile de linquent", Morgan continued. He pointed out that although Hal followed Falstaff, he was actually a very thoughtful person. He acquires a bad reputation at the first of the play but later proves his worth and goodness. Morgan described Hal as the "golden mean." The prince goes on to become the ideal , king in Henry V.

But he quickly pointed out the melodrama isn't the same you see on TV and in the movies. "The people of today are not used to plots being di verse, but black and white. They like their hero and their villain clear-cut." He added that Shakespeare didn't write such "clear-cut" stories." 1 "HotsDur is a violent but mistaken young man," lie I continued.

Helen , Hockabout, last Fall - Term Start Opinion Wanted Dennis Nelson, Chairman of the Student Council Calendar Committee, Monday issued a request to all University stu dents to submit individual or organizational opinion on the beginning of the 1960-61 fall term. The fall term beginning has been the subject of recent dis cussion by the Council. It re cently went on record as op posing the beginning of the fall term on Sept. 19. Will Meet Nov. 10 The Faculty Senate Calen dar Committee favored this late date and will submit the date for approval at the Nov 10 meeting of the Senate. The Council favors an al ternative beginning date which would set the start of the term on Sept. 12, thus en abling students to benefit from the early June closing date by more time at their respective summer jobs. The requfst issued by Nel son does not set precedent since a similar request had been issued earlier. The Fi nal Exams Committee of the 1958-59 Council issued a re quest for student support of its request for a "dead day" before the final exams peri od. Longer Period The Finals Committee had a request on the Faculty Sen ate's February agenda for an increase in the final exam period. The request was dropped when the Senate Cal endar Committee suggested the drop or presentation of more evidence that the extra day was necessary. Early in March, Chuck Hus ton, chairman of the Final Exams Committee, appealed to students to submit opinion on the Council request. Plans Started for Follies Plans are well under way for the 1960 Coed Follies, ac cording to Jan Hansen, AWS chairman in charge of the Follies. First deadline is Nov. 24. At this time skit masters from the various houses must turn in the general idea of their skit. This will eliminate re writing an entire script be cause, of similarity of ideas with another group, Miss Hansen said. Complete Scripts Complete scripts for all skits are due Dec. 7. No act may exceed eight minutes. All will be judged on cleverness, originality, audience appeal, and costum ing. There is a $100 expense limit and ho outside help may be accepted. Also to be submitted on Dec. 7 arc house candidates for Ideal Nebraska Coed. Each lA)use may submit the names of two girls to be scenes fat Falstaff tries to hide behind a scrawny bush to avoid, having to fight). Neither is a real villain, the director pointed out. He add ed that the closest thing to a villain was a courtier that miscarried information be tween enemy camps. Morgan thought theater-goers would like the play for several reasons. "It gives the audience an opportunity of seeing one of the better plays of Shakes peare that is usually not pro duced. It has onlv aoneared twice in . the last 20 years in New York," he said. Highspots of the play are many, .according to Morgan. Here are a few:, The majesty of the court LINCOLN, NEBRASKA year's queen, will end her reign and turn over the crown to the girl, chosen by the student body to represent the University. Escorts of the three will be Don Binder, president of Corn Cobs; Harry Tolly, N- By the middle of March, four .letters had been re ceived from organizations and individuals supporting the Councii request. In April, the Council succeeded in gaining approval of the request by the Senate Calendar Commit tee through evidence of stu dent, organization and facul ty support in the form of letters. Senate Approval The approved request was taken before the Senate for approval by the Senate Cal endar Committee at the May meeting. The request was approved by the Senate and will go into effect during the 1960-61 term. The Final Exams Commit tee was successful in its at tempt to persuade the Facul ty Calendar Committee through the means of presen tation of student opinion. Again Council committees must persuade the same Sen ate committee of the merits of its request. This will only be successful through the evidence of stu dent opinion presented to this committee. The evidence must be pre sented before the next Sen ate meeting in order to be effective. Nelson' requested that all students, organizations or fac ulty members who wished to express their opinions on the matter do so by submitting letters to the Daily Nebraskan office in the Union. SDX To Meet Sigma Delta Chi will meet Wednesday noon in the Colo nial Room of the Student Union. Pictures for the Cornhusker will be taken. First Deadline Is Nov. 24 judged on the basis of school activities, scholarship, per sonality and poise, All candidates must have a 6.0 overall average and at the present time have junior standing and be carrying at least 12 hours.

Traveler acts are limited to five minutes. They will be selected Feb. 3. Pershing Auditorium again will be the site of this year's Follies. Miss Hansen said prior to 1953, the girls presented their skits only to other sororities. In 1953, however, the skits were opened to the public. of Henry IV. It is outstand. ing for its beautifully uttered lines, and is full of conflict be tween bold and noble person alities. The comic scene where the jovial robber Falstaff is in turn robbed by his friends (unknown to him) for sports sake. Later he meets his friends in the Boar's Head Tavern and lies to them about how he was set upon by 100 men. Will Bender The conflict between the powerful King and the prud ishly noble hotsput, as the king tries to bend him to his will.

Failure to turn in the ac Display Pandemonium Crepe Paper, Wire Little Living Rooms By Ann Moyer Are you worriedj frus trated, nervous. Of course; it's only four days till Homecoming and time for stuffing displays is running short. A peek into the various houses on campus would probably reveal living rooms carpeted with chicken wire and various colored crepe paper. Basements are undoubt edly the scene of more wire and crepe paper plus awk ward looking frameworks for the purpose of support ing and operating the dis plays. Side By Side Pledge classes and ac tives work side by side striving to get in their re quired 10, 12 or even 25 hours depending on the workers available and the size of the display. Until 1958 Coed Follies were given at the Nebraska The ater, but when Pershing ,was completed the location was moved to accomodate a larg er audience. Due to the success of last year's follies the pattern this year Is much the same, said Miss Hansen. Tryouts and practices will not inter fere with semester exams. Al so, the Follies will be present ed on a Friday night rather than Tuesday as was the cus tom prior to lust year. A 'trophy will be awarded to the first place skit as well as to the girl chosen Ideal Nebraska Coed. A traveling trophy goes to the first place Traveler's Act. Although the general theme has not yet been announced, it will be decided soon and should not hinder skit plans already formulated, Miss Hansen said. and stay with her. Here, adds Morgan, Shakespeare makes us wonder about the nature of mankind, for Hotspur has "the world in his arms" and still "wants to be off chop ping heads".1 The satirical scene when Falstaff, with pillow on head and sitting on a chair on a table, holds court in the Boar's Head Tavern, and praises "the mighty deeds of that Falstaff fellow." The pagentry of battle toward the climax of the play, using red lighting arid fast moving battle music to create feeling. The practicality and cow ardice of Falstaff trying to find out how to save his own skin in battle for he's such a big target. Tuesday, October 27, 1959 count will disqualify the house from competition for the trophy. Evaluation Team An evaluation team includ ing Al Moeller, Program Service; Paul Hyland, Landy Clark Lumber Co.; and Chet Oker, United Rent-Alls will judge the evaluations and the display material. Everything must be in the display or on the lawn ready to be put up by 3 p.m. If the judges rule that it is worth over $150 the house will be disqualified. Judging the displays for trophy winners will be Nor ma Carpenter, Miller and Paine; Fran Clark, Ben Simon and Sons; Duard Lag ing, professor of art history; Frank Hallgren, dean of men and Helen Snyder, dean of women. According , to Norm Rohl fing of Innocents, they will make their survey and de cide the winners after 7 p.m. Friday. Houses are asked to oper ate the displays also from 1J a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. One house on campus is free from all last minute rush jobs. They solved their stuffing problem by taking crepe paper and chicken wire with them on their retreat two weeks ago. When questioned about their biggest problem con cerning the displays, most of the girls' houses an swered they were dreading the final assemblage. Man Horns For some reason this al ways seems to present a problem to sororities but due to the fact that the Uni versity is coeducational the problem usually gets solved in short order. A mathematical calcula tion concerning the aver age man-hours put In by an average size house totals approximately 524 hours. If each of the 38 organ ized houses on campus de voted this much" time to displays, the labor out- Sut would equal 19,812 man ours. This equals the time 10 men would spend, working 40-hour weeks for a full year.
