Theatre Scarcity
Causes Moves
The theater housing short
age continues to force pro
ducers to change opening
dates for their shows several
times before the attractions
find a vacant Broadway stage.
Typical is "Goodwill Am
bassador," starring Cyril Cu
sack, Reginald Owen and
Arthur Treacher, which had
to postpone its opening sev
eral times because no house
was available. Finally "Good
bye Charlie," with Lauren
Bacall and Sydney Chaplin,
vacated the Lyceum Theater
to make room for the new
play, which concerns the
British prime minister and
bis residence.
Sorority Weekend Means
By Ann Moyer
The word legacy may be
a legal term but to sorority
girls it means the enthusi
astic junior and senior high
school girls who visit our
campus in April and lay
claim to the annual Legacy
Weekend.
Although the weekend
may bring April showers or
remnants of March winds,
these elements of nature
never seem to impair the
fun of actives and legacies
alike.
Style Show
In addition to the annual
Panhellenic Legacy style
show previewing the Rush
Week styles for prospective
pledges, Saturday is filled
with any number of ingeni
ous bits of entertainment
ranging from horseback
"iding in Pioneer Park to
...door picnics.
If a legacy isn't treated
to an Ag specialty from th
the trio of Arati Sen, Premila
Khurana and Nirmal Dutta
will sing Tagere song.
The last number prior to
intermission will be a Bhan
gra dance by Balbir Dhillon,
Wasinder Mokha, Xirmalen
du Pandeya, Baljit Gill, Ra
mesh Chandan and Sushil Ni
jhawan. Premila Khurana and Arati
Sen will present their inter
pretation of a Shiva Parbati
dance after intermission. Yo
gi physical exercises will
then be demonstrated by Xa
rendra Singh.
Indian documentary films
will then be shown.
The program will conclude
with a vote of thanks deliv
ered by Agram. Subba Rao
and the playing of the Indian
and American national an
thems, sung by the Inter-Bar-sity
Christian Fellow,
ship group.
the counseling experiment
eight Mortar Boards con
ducted this semester in Ray
mond Hall.
The idea for the counseling
experiment originated in the
Mortar Board chapter. Mem
bers felt a new system was
desirable for the dorm, a sys
tem of more personal and
complete counseling.
"But since we felt it was
fairly audacious to attempt
to set up a counseling pro
gram without any practical
experience, we obtained per
mission from Administration
to obtain that experience this
semester," said Gretchen
Sides, Mortar Board publicity
chairman.
The plan is a direct result
of the practical experience,
and will provide "what we
hope is the best counseling
system for the Residence
Halls," Miss Sides said.
She added that the original
plans call for both junior and
senior women to serve as
counselors. Details of the
counseling plan and notifica
tion about applications should
be available after Easter Va
cation. 'Have Beard,
Will Tickle'
"Have Beard, will tick
le," is the offer being made
by men in the Beard Con
test on Ag campus.
The card which bears the
phrase also says "Thank
yon for noticing my beard."
Those competing for the
Whisker King Contest give
out the cards to people who
remark "favorably or un
favorably," to the unusual
looking faces.
Terrace Tops
Women's Co-ops
T e r r a c Hall not only
topped the entire campus
grade wise last semester but
also ranked first among the
women's co-ops.
Love Memorial Hall was in
correctly listed as number
one among women's co-ops.

ice cream shop located on
the Ag campus, the day
isn't complete. This may
require standing in line for
a half hour but all usually
agree it is worth it
Another favorite place of
interest is the city zoo. The
animals get their share of
visitors Saturday as cars,
asually overloaded, cruise
through.
If it is a real nice day,
a tour of Lincoln often
ends at Pioneer Park. Ath
letic type girls enjoy "the
climb to the Indians" and
some even brave the mus
tangs at the riding stable.
Roller Rinks
Holler skating rinks, the
Student Union and bowling
alleys get their share of
business too, for there are
plenty of girls, all in search
of more than their usual
study corner or movie.
The evening will find
many boys wandering

Tonight
Law Students
To Argue Finals
University Law College
Moot Court finals will be
held at the Xebraska State
Supreme Court at 7:30 to
night. ''
The question to be argued

be posed to the finalists, who
will argue before three State
Supreme Court judges.
Seniors Don Leonard and
Bob Walker will face John
Hessler and Dick Huebner
in the moot competition.
The case, which will be
heard by State Supreme

Xebraska statutes but these
statutes have been altered
somewhat to fit the case.

Vespers Concert Thursday
evening at 8:30 in the Luther
an Student House.

choral and solo numbers.
'Enthusiasm'
around campus bemoaning
the fact that their girls
would rather spend their
time with a legacy than
with them. However, this is
the case and after a picnic
type meal the mass of
feminity is off again in
search of more adventure.
By this itme the extra
energy of the morning vita
min is beginning to wear
off and the actives are us
ually willing to suggest a
nice quiet movie or even
an evening of bridge.
As the 1 a.m. closing
hour rolls around the weary
sorority girls are ready to
call it a day.
And although the sorority
girls awaken Sunday morn
ing with aches and pains
from the previous day's ac
tivities, there will be very
few of them who will not
be ready for another "go
round" come April 22-23,
the date for this season's
Legacy Weekend.

Bailey Seeks
'Good Health9
In English
Prof. Dudley Bailey, di
rector of freshman English,
urged the convention of the
Conference on College Com
position and Communications
in Cincinnati to adopt a set
of proposals for sweeping
changes in the organization.
The proposals would limit
the activities of the national
group to the nature and use
of language in written dis
course. Dr. Eailey, submitting a re
port prepared by a five-man
committee, said, "Diversity
and experimentation are
healthy things. But nobody in
his right mind thinks that
the present diversity of re
quired first-year English
courses in Anerican universi
ties reflects good health.
"It reflects a frightening
state of disease clearly psy
chosomatic one. We must re
solve to stop being all things
to all men; we must stop rid
ing our private hobby-horses
in a hundred different direc
tions." . ,
The committee which pre
pared the report was selected
last year to chart the future
direction of the organization
and of freshman English in
American colleges and universities.
