Sign of Spring
By Dick Stuckey
A sure sign of spring is a mud bedecked carpet.
And whether it be on carpet, tile, or sidewalk, the Uni
versity is now scraping off its shoes in order to save what
is left of the floors and hallways slopping in the new crop
of mud and slosh bestowed upon
Knocking on wood with
crossed fingers, the populace
of the institution looks for
more positive signs of a per
manent non monsoon inter
rupted spring which shall
lead all to the shores of sum
mer. And for what signs do
eager anticipates look to the
next two pages of the calen
da? v ..
New Hats
The robins. The balmy
eves. The new bats and
assorted accessories. The
abandonment of the bulky
look in coats, and a rush on
the lightweight, or' better,
mere shirtsleeves.
The spray of cinders on
the outdoor track and the
thud or f ie pud of the masked
man bshind the plate on the
diamond move eager warm
hs3rts to thoughts of spring
and hopes of keeping it.
A" A what do the meteorol
ogists offer as guarantee for
this anticipation? Nothing
t'.sy promise no absence of
ths TV weatherman's pencil
marks indicating "cold front
cutting a c r o s s the Rockies
leaded for Nebraska with
ten thousand tons of snow,
lookin? for a place to drop
this dewy down." No prom
ises from t ic weatherman
but remember the red, red
bor. Yn bird. Ha knows. Ask
anv lover.
And if you wish to pursue
this, check out the columns.
There's where the young men
be, giving coeds the coed ti
tle, and pins and other
assorted jewelry brought out
of the cold winter attic of
love with the first bud on the
bark or blus cloud in the sky.
New Life I
Rut the crass. And thei
flowers. And the leaves, and
all the green and blue and
bright of spring each gives
new lile to coed and compan
ion, to stai robin and nested
couple. Ali turns to balm,
and each men, no matter how
muddy his shoes from the
thaw, tracks to a damsels
domain, wipes his hooves on
a cloud, and escorts her to
frolics in fields of daisies and
clover.
And ere the next day
the cooler dawn he may
well find his spring fancy
turned to clay, for if the wea
ther doesn't cool, his grades
will. ,

Not Mandatory
, Dr. Eldridge explained
that the honors program
is not mandatory. Aftei"
being selected by the coun
cil, each candidate is giv
en the opportunity to decide
whether he wishes to par
ticipate in the four year
program.
As program director, Dr.
Eldridge stated that it had
a three-fold purpose from a
student's stand point:
1. To permit rapid move
ment by removing prereq
uisite restrictions and al
lowing the honors, student
to enter advanced courses
as fast as he is able;
2. To provide greater in

Progress

Construction at Par
On Church, Gallery
Neither snow nor sleet has
defeated the construction
work on rising cultural and
religious centers at the Uni
versity.
According to foremen at
the construction site of
the .Methodist Chapel and
Student Center at 16th and
"U" streets, and at the site
of the Sheldon Art Museum,
progress is right on par.
Bill Estes, foreman of the
George 1 Cook Construction
Company, stated that he ex
pects to start setting the steel
roof Monday, and that the
winter has been "phenom
enal" so far. "The weather
didn't slow work any; we're
right on schedule," Estes
said.
Work on the new chapel
and student center has run to
81 days and excavation at the
art museum is now into the
third week. Twelve thousand
yards of dirt have been re
moved by two "cats" and six
seven ton dump trucks in
preparation for the art gal
leries according to Edward
Rigelean, foreman for the
Olson Construction Company.
Diggings have gone 35 feet
down at the north end where
a refrigeration room will un
derlie the all travetine mar
ble interior.
Monday the "big crane"
will arrive at t h e Methodist
center for Initial steel set
ting. Five steel gabies will
rise on each side of the
chapel.
"There'll be nothing else
like it in Lincoln!" said Estes
in describing the structure,
designed by Arter and
Speece, Lincoln architectur
al firm. ,
And unless a monsoon

view two new, unique faces

during the spring semes

spend four hours working
in various departments at
the Ag College, according
to Dr. Eldridge.
"We hope that this intro

agriculture will provide the
honors student with both
the motivation to acquire
knowledge in these basic
sciences and to assist the
honors student with the se
lection of a course of
study," explained Dr. El

Faculty Study
A total of $5.6 million
grant for a 10 year period
for research in the human

to apply for such research
funds should apply to the
council, according to Dr. Har

of the Graduate College.
The grant will enable the
council to work with more
money for research in the
field of humanities in the fu

Schedules Yield Tim
Two new byproducts will result, from
the new registration schedules, according
to Dr. Floyd Hoover, University Registrar.
The new books, which listed class sec
tions as military hours were used for
the first time for second semester regis
trttion. "In the future any conflicts will prompt
ly show up and can be adjusted before a
student pays his fees," Hoover predicted
Pc-rsperted that this will go Into effect
next September.
The second result of the' new type of
schedule bocks is that "room use studies
con be made more easily when the ad
ministration needs them instead of using
the tedious hand method, which is not too
reliable anyway," Hoover said.
115 M Machines s
The Registrar explained that the new
books are all set up on IBM machines
whbh eliminate the hand work.
He al?o stated that second semester
re;istration went smoothly and that
the total number of students tt'3ist2ring
was ah'jad of last year's from the first day
search course, which again
allows the student to do
work in his Chosen field of
interest.
"The program calls for
each honors student to ful
fill the University's ROTC
and English requirements
and accumulate a total of
128 hours before the stu
dent will be eligible for
graduation," explained Dr.
Eldridge.
In the honors student's

most of his time in the de

A new manual, "Experi

Parrott and Dr. Witold Saski,
of the University Schodl of
Pharmacy, is available for
use in connection with the
adoption of the five year
course in pharmacy.
''a year of actual writing
was involved in producing the
manual," Dr. Parrott said.
The main reason for pre
paring the manual was to fill
a gap existing as a result of
the adoption of the five year
pharmacy course, according
to Dr. Parrott. The manual
attempts to integrate "physi

cation of the , s h o w was
changed from Howell Theater
to Pershing Auditorium in or
der to accommodate the au
dience. The Ideal Nebraska Coed
title was adopted in 1956 as
a substitute from the Typical
Nebraska Coed title. The
change was made by AWS
because they felt the title
ideal would be more appro
priate to the honor.
The Follies show almost
"didn't go on" in 1955 when
the flu epidemic handicapped
a great majority of the per
formers. It was later learned
that one of the starring coeds
had appeared despite a tem
perature of 102 degrees. .
Men attended the show le
gally for the first time in
1953. The doors were opened
to prevent further protest
demonstrations such as had
occurred in 1952 when a
troop of campus men stormed
the Theater in protest of the
"no males allowed", policy.
Press Cards
Prior to '52, the men had
resorted to other methods in
order to gain admittance
such as dressing as girls or
flashing press cards at the
door. "
The year 1953 also marked
the first year that the eugi-
Die bachelors were presented
at the show.
The Bachelors were oriei-
nallv chosen bv the vote of
campus coeds. The Follies
were preseniea two n l g n t s
that vear and in the follow
ing years until it moved to
Pershing.
The Follies was originally
a style show. The models
for the show were chosen
from the various sororities
and independent organiza
tions and the Typical Nebras
ka Coed, in turn, chosen
from the group of models.
The skits and curtain acts
were subordinate to the style
show.
Tickets for the '61 Follies
show may be obtained from
workers for $1.

Honor Society
Offers Grants
Phi Eta Sigma, national

to members of the fraternity.
Graduating seniors who

tact either Prof. L. E. Ytang,
faculty adviser of the Uni
versity chapter, or David Gus
tavson, president.
The deadline for, applica
tions is Thursday.
The scholarships are of
fered each year on the basis
of the student's scholastic
record, creative ability, fi
nancial need, promise of
success in chosen field and
personality.
