A, .reported ."do ..action"
was taken by the Uivversity
Administration last week on
an Ag Builders' proposal for
a new transportation sys
tem between the- Ag and
city campuses.
The proposal was present
ed and approved at the
March 8 Student Council,
meeting and forwarded on
to the Chancellor's office
for investigation and con
sideration. The proposal called for
the University to make ar
rangements with the Lin
coln City Bus Lines to pro
vide bus travel be
tween the campuses in ac
cordance with class sched
ules and for the use of stu
dents and faculty members.
This latter provision was
included in the report to
eliminate the class tardi
ness caused by stops
the buses make between the
campuses.
The proposal included a

part of a report on a survey
. mada by the Ag Builders
of Ag-city campus commu
tors on the present trans
portation and need for a
better one.
575 Off Ag
The report stated there
are at least 575 students
who live off the Ag campus.
These students live either
on the downtown campus,
in Lincoln or in the area
surrounding Lincoln and
must commute to and from
Ag campus.
The City Bus Lines run
buses only every half hour
and their schedules fluctu
ate a great deal meaning
that reaching classes at
scheduled times is often im
possible, asserted the re
'port. In the survey conducted
during the fall semester,
508 students were contacted
and 200, or 39 per cent,
responded. Of these 200, 86
per cent of the students
said that they would patron

Tryouts for "Ring Round
the Moon," Howell Theater's
newest production, will be
held Monday through Wednes
day 7-10 p.m., according to
William R. Morgan .ssistant
professor of Speech
Morgan said the play, "Ring
Round the Moon," is-a -comedy
written by Jean Anouilh
and adapted by Christopher
Fry. It achieved outstanding
success in England and New
York.
This sophisticated comedy
is an enchanting little fairy
tale of laughing grace and a
lovely and delectable trifle.
To make his points about love,
the author has invented a fa
ble about twin brothers
Fredrie, who is shy and sen
sitive and Hugo, who is heart
less and aggressive.
Fredrie is in love with a
hussy who in turn is in love
with Hugo. To save Fredrie
from an unhappy marriage,
Hugo tries to distract him by
bringing to a ball, a beautiful
dancer, who masquerades as
a mysterious personage and
becomes the triumph of the
occasion.
She is a susceptible maiden
in her own right. She not only
breaks up all the cynical ro
mances that have been going
on before she arrived, but
loses her own heart as well.:

that the present system of

Another suggestion made
was that "season tickets"
be sold for bus transporta

punched in the ticket by the
bus driver for each bus
ride.
Two Purposes
Ag Builders feel that such
a plan would serve two pur
poses: Many students are in
favor of a lower cost per
ride than the present sys
tem charges (15 cents). The
sale of season tickets might
make a slightly reduced
cost to students and faculty
feasible.

"Ever since I came, I've had

When asked of her criti

NU Budget
The Legislature's budget
committee has completed a
week of executive hearings
and interviews with Univer
sity officials according to Sen.
Richard Marvel, chairman. .
Marvel said the purpose of
the meetings was to gain
more complete information on
University budget needs.
Members of the budget
committee and University ad
ministrators toured research
projects to gain a first hand
view of how the money is
spent, but Marvel said his
group was probing the budget
in its entirety rather than
just this area alone.
Gov. Frank Morrison bad
earlier approved all Univer
sity budget increase requests
except for $J million. The gov
ernor said this amount, which
University officials had ear
marked for research, should
be approved only after fur
ther investigation to deter
mine its need.
Marvel expects to be ready
to hold public hearings on the
University budget some time
in April but said no definite
date has yet been set.
