He was chosen on basis of his contributions to the University and his variety of activities. Olson received his bache lors degree from the River falls Teacher College in Wis consin and. his Masters and Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin. He has been coach of the University debate squad for 18 years and is also the advisor for the Delta Sigma Rho-Tau Kappa Alpha honor ary. He was this year's quiz bowl moderator and in 1961 coached the G.E. College Quiz Bowl Team. He has conducted the high school debate and discussion clinic and the state high school debate tournament. He received the Outstanding Ne braskan award in 1954 and was the winner of the 1961 CORNHUSKER year book award. Rosella Lange was chosen as Ivy Day Senior Soloist by Rights Will "There is goinc to be a civil I. rights bill," predicted Lee White, assistant special coun sel to the President, as he ad dressed the Law Day lunch eon Friday. "However, when the bill is passed, there will be a big ceremony and celebration and the next day we'll find that things are exactly as they were before," said the counse lor. The civil rights bill has great symbolism attached to War Baby Enrollment To Tighten Schedules The impact of the "war-baby" boom has reached the University. An estimated 4000 applications for admission will be re ceived next fall, according to Lee Chatfield, director of the Junior Division at the University. Two thousand seven hun dred freshman applications I are already ready for pro- i gramming. Reports that some freshman students may nave to be turned away next fall have been denied by the University, but the fact remains that the University faces a touchy sit uation in adequately handling those desiring admission. "I don't think we will have to say we can't take everyone, but we won't be able to place everyone in the combination of courses they want," said Chatfield. Experience has shown that only 80 to 85 of those ap plying will actually show up for classes according to Chat field. He said that the prob able fall freshman class will total about 3,500 students. The University s total en Engineers Honor Smith At E-Week Banquet In a surprise presentation, Professor Linus Smith, chair man of the department of architecture, was honored by his students Friday evening. At the E-Week awards ban quet to honor outstanding students, Smith, a respected and distinguished teacher, was presented a citation and was given an ovation by the students of the College of Ar chitecture and Engineering. Engraved on the plaque were the words ... to Linus Burr Smith, a disciple of excellence, an inspiring teacher, a creative artist, an incisive scholar, and an un usually gifted understander of his fellowmen whose minds and dignity he has served so well for thirty years at the University of Nebraska." Smith, who will retire at the end of the semester, has served as a teacher, research er, administrator and plan ning consultant. He has been with the University since 1934. Four engineering students were also honored. Michael White received the O. J. Fer guson Award, presented to the outstanding senior student in Engineering and Architec ture. He has an 8.4 average. Allen Otte was presented the Hamilton Watch Award, as an engineering student spe Mortar Board on the basis of her contributions to the Uni versity and to the School of Music. She has been past president and rush chairman of Sigma Alpha Iota music sorority and received its 1963 service award and 1964 lead ership award. Miss Lange has participated In four University operas and was the contralto soloist for the 1963 presentation "Mes siah." She is the president of the Music Intersorority coun cil and an undergraduate voice assistant in the school of music. AIDE PREDICTS- It, White pointed out. People think that things are going to be a lot different after it is passed but it may not be. "The signing of the bill is not the end, it is only the be ginning. Lawyers will play a key role from then on in in terpreting legislation, coun seling businessmen and deter mining acceptance of the law," he said. Once a national attitude is fixed it takes a lot to change it, said the University grad- rollment next fall is expected to be a record-breaking 13,000 students. The record was broken last fall with 11,456 stu dents enrolled. "Money and staff" are the primary problems in handling this new influx of students according to Chatfield. Increased revenue from the additional tuition obtained from a greater number of stu dents simply does not cover the cost of the staff members needed to teach the greater number of students, he noted If necessary, the total teach ing day can be extended from 6 a.m. to midnight, Chatfield pointed out, but a larger staff is needed even if classrooms can be utilized for that ex tended period of time. cializing in the humanities. Charles Hentzen and Leroy Baker received the Pickett and Eckel slide rule awards. Editor Gives German Talk A noted German scholar, Dr. Adolf Klarmann of the University of Pennsylvania, will speak at the University today and tomorrow. He will give a public lecture in English on the "Durren matt and the Tragic Sense of Comedy" at 8 p.m. today in the Student Union auditorium. Dr. Klarmann will speak in German on "Naturalismus" at the annual dinner of Delta Phi Alpha, national German honorary fraternity, 6:30 p.m. tomorrow in 241, Student Union. The editor-in-chief of the GERMAN QUARTERLY, of ficial journal of the American Association of Teachers of German, Klarmann is profes sor of German and compara tive literature at the Univer sity of Pennsylvania. A na tive of Austria, he is past president of Delta Phi Alpha and has lectured at various universities in this country and abroad. The three children -who will escort the queen of Ivy day were picked by Mortar Board from the children of women who were on Mortar Board while they were in college. The two little girls who will throw roses in the path of the queen are Kit Wadlow, daugh ter of Dr. and Mrs. Richard Wadlow of Lincoln and Janice Wishnow, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Wishnow of Lin coln. The little boy who will car ry the crown is Steven Arndt, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Arndt. Pass uate, concerning the recent demonstrations. He did not think that demonstrations such as the one at the World's Fair would have much impact, but when done properly a demonstration can have a positive impact. White said that President Kennedy talked to several lawyers from all over the country before the civil rights bill was submitted. He out lined the requests of the president. 1. Lawyers can help create biracial groups. 2. Lawyers can work with state and local authorities in respect to the legislation. 3. Consider the legislation before Congress. He did not ask the lawyers to support or oppose it but rather to understand it and be pre pared to answer questions on it. 4. Lawyers should see that legal aid groups be operated on a nondiscriminatory basis. 5. Lawyers could develop an informal committee to provide laison with the federal government. "This was established and is an ef fective machinery for taking issue with false information issued by others," said White. He pointed out that clergy men did not think this an issue previously but in the last year have become very active. "The change is al most unbelievable," he said. White, a Sigma Alpha Mu alum, attended an informal coffee hour and question and! answer session at his frater nity house following the Law Day session. Shapiro Reads Poetry A Nebraska poet paid hom age to another poet William Shakespeare in the final pro gram of the Shakespeare on the Plains festival. Karl Shap iro, Pulitzer Prize winning poet, and Mach professor of English at the University, read D. H. Lawrence's "When I Read Shakespeare," and Robinson Jeffers' "Shakes peare's Grave." Turning to his Own words, Shapiro read from POEMS 1940-1953, POEMS OF A JEW, and Poems made in Nebraska. Shapiro read several selec tions from his new book, THE BOURGEOIS POET. He called the title "two terms which cancel each other out." The book is written in sentences and paragraphs rather than in usual poetic form, he explained. The poems are numbered they have no names. Shapiro commented that a recent crit ic of his book noted that it "sounds like football signals when it's reviewed." "It is autobiographical, yes and no, but there is no chron onogy to the poems," said Shapiro. " 'I am the world,' says the j wide-eyed child," in one of his poems which a reviewer de scribes as "abstracted im ages, pregnant, not with uni versal truths, but with univer sal facts." THE BOURGEOIS POET, by Karl Shapiro, is published by Random House. IWA To Hold Dessert The Recognition Dessert of the Independent Women's As sociation (IWA) will be held at the Nebraska Union Ball room May 11 at 7 p.m. One independent girl from each dormitory and each floor in Pound Hall will be recog nized for outstanding schol arship, activities and leader ship. Tickets may be purchased from any of the IWA Board members for 60 cents. 'The Man' Sees Growth Of President's Program It looks as if Stan "The Man" Musial has embarked on another career as President Johnson's special consultant on physical fitness with determination similar to that which he showed on the baseball diamond. Musial, a sure-bet Hall of Fame baseball player after Lweniy-iwo years wun ine ti. Louis Cardinals, spoke at the University Friday to put some punch in national physical fit ness, first pushed under the Kennedy Administration. Musial told a University ballroom audience "I don't want the title only, I want to put work into it." Musial cited much to be done and consequent increased activity in the physical fitness area. Despite the fact that the program is already un derway, only two states have required physical fitness pro grams, California and Flor ida. Not all of the program is directed toward youth of the nation and Musial was quick to emphasize the fact that adult programs will be given new emphasis in cities under the national leadership of Bob Stewart of St. Louis. "The Man" stays close to baseball by maintaining a front office job with the Card inals. In this way, he said he can keep fit too. Even though Musial says he "got a maximum out of baseball," he spent six weeks at the Cardin By Judi Peterson Junior Staff Writer Spring Day is that time of the year when a student's fancy turns to jumping rope- riding tricycles, throwing logs and wallowing in the mud Friday afternoon students will lose all inhibitions as they return to their childhood days m order to bring glory to their living units for Spring Day, Classes will be dismissed at 1:30 p.m. when students will migrate to the Ag Campus physical education and tractor testing fields for the games. The traditional grubbies wil be the official attire for the day, since it is more than likely that participants will end up covered with mud, dust or hay, and will possibly sport new rips in their cut-offs. Feminine charms will be at a minimum as participants in the women's games will fight like men in the tug of war event. Two ten-member teams will struggle to drag the los ing team through a pit of mud as they fight for control of a rope. Hair and hay will fly as co eds frantically search through ten million wisps of hay for three needles. This is a new women's event this year. Coeds will have to renew their skills in jumping rope, tricycle riding and roller skating for three other events, The tricycle race will run through an obstacle course which must be followed exact ly if the candidate is to quali fy. In the jump rope contest each team of 20 women will try to jump a long rope. The object will be to have the greatest number of people jumping at the end of a two minute period. The jump rope game is also new this year. In the men's events there will be a log pillow fight in which participants will try to knock each other off a log three to four feet above a pig sty. The tractor testing track will be made into an obstacle course for the men's bicycle steeple chase. Men will have a tug of war contest and a log throwing contest to prove to the world that they are the stronger sex. A couple's mystery event will be held for adventurous men and coeds. The type of event won't be revealed until Friday. Friday Frolics On Spring Bay al spring training session this spring. The emphasis in the pro gram has been on colleges and the schools in general thus far before effort is concentrated on adults. But Stan still likes the kids. "It is quite a challenge and quite exciting especially since I enjoy working with young sters," Musial said. "When I took the position, President Johnson said noth ing about this being a short term assignment so I assume I will be doing it as long as I can do a good job," Musial said of his new position. The three-time Most Val uable Player of the National League couldn't keep from a few baseball predictions: College baseball will be the backbone to the majors in the future since high costs and modern travel have hurt the minor leagues. His greatest day for the Cards was when he clouted five homers in a single day double-header. Willie Mays is off to a good year and it looks like he will take the National League batting crown. Each participating organiza tion must pay an entry fee of one dollar. Every participant will be responsible for know ing all the rules for the event in which he will be participat ing and may not be in more than two of the games.
