'Skitoo'
Foibles
Revealed
Slides, Backdrops
Cause Harassment
By WENDY ROGERS
"Watchdog Hopeful report
ing for duty, sir. . ."
"I'm on special assignment
to insure the succss of 62
Skit-oo.
"Sure hope everything goes
smoothly, tonight. The Strang
est things have been happen
ing in Pershing lately -
Yknow sir, I ve seen
some of the bestest skit sets
down , there, but rehearsals
have really been something!
"Just moving props and
backdrops into the auditor
ium gave me grey hairs.
"Someone in the Delta
Gamma house noticed at the
last minute that part of their
backdrop wasn't painted. They
were still painting it 10 min
ues before time to move in. . .
"So guess whose backdrop
was carried to Pershing
wet?
"When I saw garbage can
after garbage can moving in
to Pershing, I decided to in
vestigate in a hurry . . .
Yeeks! It seems it's part of
the Chi Omega skit's wierd
prop collection.
"Then -there was the slide
problem - NO WHERE IN
LINCOLN could the Gamma
Phi Beta prop crew find a
kiddie slide. But I almost died
of fright they were getting
ready to tear apart some
little girl's backyard gym
set . . .
"Then those Kappa Kappa
Gammas - just couldn't
find a speaker's podium for
their "Pleasantly , Bombed"
skit. Now who ever heard of
inverting one beloinging to the
Student Union, so the seal
on it read UN instead of NU?
"Well, sir, 1 earned my
pay that first night of re
hearsal. Something about ice
under the stage left over
from the Ice Capades that
temperature was about 40 be
low. "I heard Sandy Heffelfing
er, the director hired by the
Associated Women Students
Board to polish up the skits,
remark that 'If there's one
thing I'll remember about
Pershing, it will be the1 sub
zero temperatures. I'm freez
ing!' "Those AWS people were
really talented. I spotted stage
manager Jane Tenhulzen
pulling the curtain for t h e
skits ali those paid stage
hands, and none of them in
sight!
"Poor Ifcrble Nore (as Co
ed Follies chairman, she'll
emcee the show tonight) ! She
got snowbound In Minnesota
on a debate trip, and almost
missed the first rehearsal.
"The Alpha Phis had prob
lems plus "with their back
drop. 'Our backdrop looks
like a postage stamp when we
put it up,' I overheard Cory
Cabella, skitmaster, com
plain. "Well sir, that's , what's
happened so far. Who knows
what'Il happen tonight?"

concept.
All students, both interna
tional and American, who
have signed up for the PTP
program or who are inter
ested in it are asked to at
tend.
In the membership drive
this week, over 250 American

signed up for the program
with hundreds of others show
ing interest.
Nebraska International As
sociation advisor Carleton
Davis will discuss the bene
fits of PTP to both Ameri
can and international s t u
dents.'
After explanations of spe
cific phases of PTP by com
mittee chairman, American
and international students will
have an opportunity to sign
up for the committees of
their choice. The" chairmen
and their committees are:
Jan Jeffery, brother-sister
program; Kirk Bradford,
housing; Herb Probasco, pub
licity; Bev Higgins, book
project; Janet Irwin, j o b
placement; and Helen
Schmierer, tours and orienta

Diane Tlnan, society chair
man and treasurer.
Applications for PTP which
students have may be turned
in at the YWCA office or at
the meeting itself.
Trial Held
On Cheating
A case involving a student
who sold old final examina
tions appeared yesterday be
fore the Student Tribunal, ac
cording to Frank Hallgren,
dean of men.
The decision of the Tribunal
will be made public Monday
In another instance, Dean
of Student Affairs J. P. Col
bert announced that the of
fice of a University instructor
had been broken into in the
last two days of final examinations.
"Th office door latch and
lock Were jimmied by a crow
bar and one of the doors
of a filing case within the of
fice was broken into by
smashing the front panel of
the drawer," Colbert said.
No details were released
on the action that was being
taken on the break in.
Floor Plans Approved
For New
D
M
ormitory;
ock-Up Rooms Built
By KAREN GUNLICKS
Floor plans for the new
Twin Tower Dorm have been
decided upon, according to
Verner Myers, director of the
division of planning and con
struction.
The rooms will be arranged
like the room pictured except
that the closet doors will be
at the extreme ends of each
closet and a heating and cool
ing unit will be installed along
the outside closet wall.
Three plans had been sug
gested for the rooms, but aft
er mock-up rooms were built,
we could plainly see that the
one chosen was the best, said
Myers. The mock-up rooms
are still on display in Nebras
ka Hall.
The reason for building the
mock-up rooms was so the
plans could be correctly and
practically interpreted which
is often hard to do on paper
continued Myers. Further
study on the mock-up rooms
is planned to determine cor
rect lighting, coloring, draw
er and shelf space, he said.
Mock rooms will help ulim-
inate the possibility of mak
ing mistakes, he commented.
If we make one mistake on
one side of a room, two mis
takes in a room have been
made because both sides are
identical, which would make
960 mistakes altogether, he
added. We hope we can avoid
mistakes by using the mock
rooms, he said.
Myers feels the advantages I
of the room chosen are:
1) Each student has an
equal area with equal facil
ities '
2) The students are farth
er apart from each other
when studying
3) It will be easier for
one student to study and the
other to sleep because of the
distance of the desks from
the beds.
The rooms will have tack
boards above the desks, a
mirror and a medicine cabi
net, built-in desks and bed
lights.
The four end rooms on each
floor will be approximately
the same as the other rooms
except that the beds will be
closer together because of a
different door arrangement.
Officials hope that the build
ing will be ready by the fall
of 1963. It will house 960 per
sons and feed 1,400. Bids will
begin March 15.

the floor plan sketched above except that the closet
doors will be at the extreme ends of each closet and a
heating and cooling unit will be installed along the
outside closet wall.
Symphony Tradition Shattered;

Exchange
Program
The University announced
this week that it is now ac
cepting applicants for a stu
dent exchange program with
El Colegio de Mexico under
terms of agreement approved
earlier by the Board of Re
gents. This is the first arrange
ment of its kind with a Mexi
can institution of higher learn
ing, said Dr. Stanley R. Ross,
professor of history and chair
man of the selection commit
tee. '
Under this plan, a small
group of University of Ne
braska students will live with
Mexican families and attend
El Colegio de Mexico, an in
stitution in Mexico City with
one of the best academic rep
utations in that country, for
one year.
American students will
have an opportunity to take
course work in Spanish, liter
ature, history, economics and
international relations.
Full Credit
Mexican students, will at
tend the University and take
a similar course. Full credit
will be given for the work
taken at both colleges.
Dr. Ross explained that the
students must finance their
transportation and that costs
for attending the Mexican col
lege would be approximately
the same as at the University.
The students, to be selected
primarily from the college of
Arts and Sciences, must be
enrolled as a second-semester
sophomore or a first-semes
ter junior. They must be do
ing better than average work
and have a good knowledge
of the Spanish language for
class instruction will be in
Spanish.
Deadline for application is
April 1, 1962. The first group
will leave in June.
