For Ball
The Military Ball will not
be televised this year as it
has been in recent years, ac
cording to Dick Basoco, pub
licity chairman of the' Ball
committee.
Several factors figured in
the no TV decision, he said.
. "The, original purpose of
televising the Military Ball
was to call attention to the
Ball throughout this part of
the state. It is the opinion of
the staff that this has been
done," Basoco reported.
"Another consideration is
that televising requires ex
tensive lighting and other
facilities that the Navy, spon
sors of the Ball this year,
feels would detract from the
extensive interior decorations
that have been planned,", lie
added.
"It is hoped," he concluded,
"that the removal of the
lights needed for television
will add preafly to the atmos
phere fid spectator appeal of
the Ball."

in Prince Selection
Twenty-one campus coeds,
contenders for the Nebraska
Sweetheart title, will be in
terviewed tonight by Inno
cents Society.
The interviewing board will
select 10 finalists on the basis
of poise, beauty, personality
and general appearance.
The finalists will be an
nounced Dec. 4 at the same
time as the 10 Prince Kos
met contenders.
Early Interviews
According to Don Epp, se
lection chairman, the Sweet
heart interviews are being
held at this early date be
cause the individual sororities
and residence halls already
have submitted their candi
dates. The method of choosing
Prince Kosmet also has been
changed this year. Later in
terviews of both groups would
cause unnecessary rush and
confusion, he said.
Fraternities and men's resi
dences are required to sell
tickets to the Kosmet Klub
show in order to nominate
Theatre
Are Not
. . . Schedule Conflicts Explained
University Theatre follows
the same rules as any other
campus organization when
scheduling productions.
However, the Theatre can
plan events for closed nights
Homecoming, Military Ball,
Chancellor's Reception since
it is considered a departmen
tal function rather than a so
cial event, according to Mrs.
James Eller, assistant to the
dean of student affairs.
Complaints Heard-
Student Council heard com
plaints last Wednesday that
Theatre productions would oc
cur during Military Ball week
end, Kosmet Klub and Coed
Follies.
Complaints were that stu
dents were required to miss
the events if they participated
in the productions. The The
atre season opened Home
coming weekend.
Mrs. Eller, who has charge
of preparing the activities cal
endar each spring, said every
Stan Kenton, five-time
winner of Down Beat Maga
zine's popularity poll as
leader of the nation's num
ber one jazz orchestra, will
appear at Turnpike Ballroom
Sunday.
The dance is scheduled as a
twilight affair, 7-11 p.m.
Kenton has been 'one of
Capitol Records' top record
ing stars since the company
began. Currently on a nation
wide tour, the bandleader will
be making his first local ap
pearance since winning the
Down Beat award for the
fourth time. Kenton, hailed
as "Modern America's Man
of Music," will present an
orchestra consisting of 20 of
the nation's leading instra
mentalists. Spectacular
Kenton's first musical spec
tacular was in 1947, when he
came upon the idea of for
saking the ballrooms in favor
of the concert stage, a med
ium which he felt would dis
play to better advantage his
musical ideas. This endeavor
was called "Presentations in
Progressive Jazz."
This was later abandoned
and in its place came his
next attempt at innova
tions in the musical world.
These plans required a 4
piece concert orchestra utiliz
ing a 17-piece string section.
The production was called
"Innovations in Modern
Music."
77 Cities
"Innovations" began in 1950
and toured 77 cities across
the country, coming to a close
at Hollywood Bowl where
more than 16,000 people gath
ered. Following the Bowl concert,
Kenton reformed the 20-piece
dance orchestra. His second
concert tour with "Innova
tions" completed a nation
, wide itinerary this year.

'Sweetheart;
a candidate for Prince Kos
met. Each organization must
sell 50 tickets for each nomi
nee. The candidates must then
be interviewed by the Mor
tar Boards who will select
10 finalists on the basis of
appearance, personality and
attitude.
The finalists will be an
nounced at the same time as
the Sweetheart finalists, Dec.
4. This date is one week be
fore the Kosmet Club show
and provides for a one-week
campaign period.
Choice Only Before
Epp said originally Prince
Kosmet candidates were se
lected in the same manner
as the Sweetheart contend
ers. The sponsoring group
simply chose a candidate to
represent them at the inter
views. KK devised the new sys
tem of requiring the houses
to sell 50 tickets for each
nominee for several reasons.

schedule to her office by
April 20.
Two Dates Picked
"Organizations are contact
ed if there is a conflict, she
added. She also said the The
atre had been notified last
spring that Homecoming and
Kosmet Klub had been spoken
for earlier.
The Coed Follies date was
set April 28, eight days after
the Theatre-had submitted its
schedule.
Dr. James Baldwin, acting
Theatre director, said Monday
the Theatre administration
"certainly didn't intend to
'kill' any activities."
"We can take the criticism
and will try to schedule so
there won't be so many con
flicts, but won't guarantee
there won't be any," he
added.
"This University is just get
ting larger and conflicts are
bound to occur," he said.
No Designs
He noted that the season's
opener this year on Home
coming weekend was not de
signed to "draw the Home
coming crowd."
He said it was planned as
"the most convenient date
since the start of the term
(for rehearsal time)," and it
would give ample time to
start rehearsal for the next
production.
There will be no rehearsal
or production the night of the
Military Ball, Dec. 4, he
noted.
J. P. Colbert, dean of stu
dent affairs, said Monday he
told a Council representative,
"The University Theatre
did not receive any special
privileges and that it was im
possible to avoid all schedul
ing conflicts."
