Formal approval of the resignation is expected to be given by Nebraska regents Friday, . the Associated Press said. Chancellor Clifford Hard- Student Receives Award HansenDesigns Top Display A proposed design for a "Heartland Exhibition Pavil ion" at the 1964 New York World's Fair has won for Gary Hansen, a senior archi tectural student at the Uni versity, a $1,000 scholarship for travel abroad. The scholarship is sup ported by the Clark and En ersen architectural firm of Lincoln and is awarded bien nually to a University archi tectural student based on a two-day competition during spring vacation. Hansen's award-winning de sign is an undulating wall that wraps around an irregularly shaped plot, forming one exhibition area which would be used jointly by North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. Hansen's work features eight plastic columns that rise out of a central pool. The columns fold out to form a protective covering over the entire space. . . , The competition involved two 12-hour sessions for the student architects. In this time they were to conceive and develop their design. Last year Hansen won a $200 award from the Tile Council of America "as out standing student showing promise in architecture," and first place in the annual house competition sponsored by Lincoln Home Builders. Also, this year he received a $1,000 grant from the Ameri can Institute of Architects for graduate study next fall. Hansen will graduate in June and plans to visit Europe this summer, mainly Barce lona, where he wishes to ex amine the creations of An tono Gaude, called " an archi tectural prophet." Hansen's winning design will be submitted as an en try in the four-state com petition now under way. 'Schooner9 Format Has New Look The spring issue of the Uni versity published "Prairie Schooner has a "new look." It presents a miniature col lection of Americana, "A Portfolio of Popular Taste." The section includes a "doc umentary" on threshing in Southern Minnesota, written by Helen Scheffler Mason, an ex-Minnesotan and now a Pa risienne. The other writings include a piece on "best-selling" American poets; an ar ticle on the legendary jazz man, Charlie "Bird" Parker; and an account of some fa mous American literary hoaxes, written by Prof. Wil bur Gaffney of the Universi ty's English department. The issue is under the act ing editorship of Bernice Slote, associate professor of English at Nebraska. She is substituting for the regular editor, Professor Karl Sha piro, who is on a year's leave of absence. Other lead items from the Spring issue of the "Schoon er" include: Short Stories by Jeannie Olive and William Van O'Connor; Criticism by Hugh Kenner, critic and au thority on Joyce; and Poetry by James Schevill, Jaymond Hass, Bruce Cutler, and the poem, "Memorial Day in Ne' braska," by Dan Jaffe, a graduate of the University and presently an instructor at the University of Kansas City. in was in Washington with representatives of the Jour nalism School and not available for comment. Adam C. Breckenridge, dean of faculties, had "no comment." George Round, director of public relations, said "Dr. Chasson is enti tled to his own opinion." A tenuous set of problems including salary and staff size to serve the University and community fully and satisfy the legitiment de mands fof the department has kept the Physics de partment from strengthen ing the programs they are now engaged in and start ing new programs, Dr. Chasson reported.

Professor's One-Act Play Is Published Because of the suggestion of a friend, Dr. Joseph Baldwin, associate professor of speech and dramatic art, began writing one-act plays in 1960. It has been announced that "Almost Too Many," his third one-act play will be published in the fall of 1962 by Dramatic Publishing Company of Chi cago. ' In 1960, a friend noticed that Dr. Baldwin was fond of tell ing satirical stories, and urged him to write them as plays. He wrote one one-act comedy and sent it to a pub lisher, who bought it and asked for more. In May, 1961, his one-act comedy, "A Golden Oppor tunity for a Lovable Loafer," was featured on the evening programs of the Creative Arts Festival at the State Uni versity of South Dakota.

Miss Tederman's letter of nomination is the fifth to be received. Two letters of nomination have been received for Roy Arnold, and other nominees are Al Plummer, Sukey Tinan and Jim Sam ples. Service, leadership and scholarship were listed as ways in which Miss Teder man has contributed to( the University during her four years as a student. Her activites include member of Associated Women Students Board for three years, Student Council representative and presi dent of Tassels, scholarship chairman and first vice president of Alpha Chi Omega, member of Pi Lambda Theta, teachers' honorary and president of Black Masque chapter of Mortar Board. "Not only is 'Teed' a leader in the truest sense of the word, but she also is a lovely person," the letter continued. She was a finalist for Miss E-Week as a sophomore, a homecoming queen attend ant as a junior, a Cornhusker beauty queen in 1961 and Nebraska's candidate for Drake Relay's queen in 1962.

Through her choice of campus activities, one can easily see that her primary ob jective is to serve her University and her fellow students, whether by building school spirit or setting campus standards. "Her first concern in her activities has been the' importance of the individual. Nancy feels very strongly that many peo ple on this campus have potential which is being overlooked, and she therefore feels that leadership positions can be much more widely distributed. This im portance of the individual was reflected in her work in AWS, in her sorority and in Mortar Board," the letter said. Other contributions to the University by Miss Tederman were cited in the letter of nomination: promoting college loyalty, advancing the spirit of service among University students, promoting a high standard of scholarship, encouraging leadership and stimulating and develop ing a finer type of college woman. Three faculty members have been nom inated for Outstanding Nebraskan: Miss Mary Jean Mulvaney; Dr. William E. Hall, professor of educational psychology and of history and principles of educa tion; and Professor Robert Forster.

Phutos by Doug McCartney States with fewer students and more faculty at higher pay, he added. The administration has not seemed to recognize clearly this problem and the state has failed to rec ognize it all together, con tinued Chasson. There has not seemed to be an effort on the part of the adminis tration to save key areas at difficult times like now, he said. The physics department is a highly respected de partment in the country, said Chasson, with every staff member teaching and producing research to his capacity, but such a depart ment cannot be kept intact unless members are con vinced that efforts are ap preciated and of utmost im portance to the University, Thursday, May 17, 1962 Photos by Doug McCartney Esquenazi To Address UN Council Collegiate Council for the United Nations will hear an address by Dr. Esquenazi Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the Union auditorium.

House did a little fast ped dling on their bicycle-built-for-two and came in cham pions of that event. Second place went to Jerry Walker, AGR, and Rosalie Walker. Bob Weber and Del Rae Beer mann won third. Teani effort paid off as AGS walked off with the tro phy in bale stacking. Cheryl Abrahamson and Jerry Walker also won tro phies in the egg throwing event. Roberta Petersen of Love Hall received the honors in the greased pig contest and Henry Bartels of the main tenance department exhibited his talents in horseshoe throwing. Burr Hall won the seven legged race for girls, and Dudley House of Burr Hall, won the men's tug-of-war. FarmHouse came in second. and additional help is promptly forthcoming. There has been no such convincing, according to Chasson. Chasson indicated that the legislature is unsym pathetic to the University as a whole, not just partic ular departments, since the administration for the. most part decides which pro grams will be developed and supported. The admin istration and citizens of the state should lobby more forcefully; the legislature does not deserve to be treated with such kid gloves, he stated. Chasson replied, in regard to why the legislature is un-. sympathetic, that the peo ple of the state have not told their representatives what to do. They let the decisions rest on a few people and until they insist on good ed ucation and provide the means toward it, they will end up with an inferior grade. If parents and teachers want to be sure that their youth will have the fullest capabilities to face the competition in our country, they must take ac tion to insure that the state provides the adequate fa cilities. Otherwise, the state will be shortchanging its youth, he concluded. Begin Classes At 7:30? Plan Will Help NU Commuters Start classes at 7:30 or 8:30 a.m. on city campus and leave classes as they are on Ag campus? This possibility has been suggested by University Busi ness Manager Carl Donaldson as a way to ease the class conflict and rush for students commuting between Ag and city campus. "The staggered class sched ule on city campus would re duce traffic congestion in the 7:30 to 8 a.m. rush hour," pointed out Student Council member Tom Kotouc as he brought. Donaldson's, sugges tion before Student Council Wednesday. "Dorm and Student Union cafeteria style facilities would find a relief in the noon to 1 p.m. rush by having students being dismissed from classes both at 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. for lunch," said Kotouc. "But fraternities and soror ities might have to go to cafe teria or two-shift meals in or der to take advantage of the new class scheduling," point ed out Council member Mike Barton. According to Kotouc, the recommendation for such a reshuffling of classes would have to be made by the Stu dent Council before action could be taken if desired for next spring or later. New Council Takes Over Wednesday Outgoing President Steve Gage surrendered the gavel to 1962-63 President Don Burt as the newly-elected Student Council took office for the coming year yesterday. In Council elections of its new officers, Ann Wahl was selected recording secretary; Tom Kotouc, corresponding secretary and Dick Weill, treasurer. "The special finance com mittee is perhaps the most im portant for the coming year and the progress of the Coun cil," said Burt, in explaining his new committees. The new president feels that if the Council is to arouse the student interest, a suffici ent budget is of primary con cern. "The Universiy of Mis souri's student government has a budget of $5,000-$6,000 to provide basically the same services our Council is ex pected to provide on only $800," continued Burt. "A definite financial prog ram must be submitted to the Board of Regents." The representation issue will be elevated to the posi tion of a full time representa tion committee to develop plans for "a desirable repre sentation system," said Burt. First vice president Dave Scholz, in commenting upon the Student Council Associ ates program, feels "the pro gram should be made restric tive to make the Associates an efficient part of the Council itself."
