Besides the Union people, one instructor at Winter Park estimated there were some 300 other University students on the slopes. The Jags paid their way by playing at the Coachman, and The Celler Dwellers had a similar ar rangement at Adolf's. These places, and two others, The Norseman, and Winterhof Inn, provided apres-ski entertain ment to those who could fur nish adequate ID's. There wds no 3.2 beer. The Union trip had only one accident. Nancy Peterson a freshman broke her c o 1 1 a r bone while she was skiing the saddle of Allen Phipps. The irony of the situation is it was not her fault, another skier ran into her, and to top it off, her father is a doctor and Willard Marquardt will portray Gar mout. The part of Flora will be sung by Rosella Lange and that of Gaston by Don Canady. "La Traviata" is set in and near Paris, at about 1850. It involves a love affair between Violetta, known as the "lost lady," and Alfredo, whose father is successful in breaking up the affair. The opera will be directed by Pro fessors Richard Grace and John Zei. Em manel Wishnow, chairman of the depart ment of music, will conduct the orchestra. French Singers Here Tomorrow Two performances by Varel and Bailly and the Chanteurs de Paris will be presented to morrow night in the Union Ballroom, at 7:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. The performances are spon sored by the Fine Arts Con vocation Series, and admis sion is free. Tickets may be picked up at the Union main desk. The singing group was be gun by Andre Varel and Char ly Bailly "the Rodgers and Hammerstein of France" and is headed by Bailly. The group was hailed by the New York Journal-American as "the most exciting group of singing young men you've heard in years." Their music is mainly folk and popular songs. FSNCC Films Show Southern Registration Friends of SNCC (Student N o n - Violent Coordinating Committee) is sponsoring two documentaries at 3 p.m. to day in Love Auditorium. They deal with voter registration work in Mississippi and are titled "A Dream Deferred" and "We'll Never Turn Back." Jerry Behringer, in structor of sociology, will lead the discussion. Fifty cents ad mission will be charged. here in Lincoln. But, she learned the snowplow, and is ready to go next year. Wanda Brammer said she had a hard time learning the snowplow, but mastered it, and rewarded herself with a Winter Park ski patch from the Mountain Shop. Gunars Slrazdins, one of the more h o o k e d-on-skiing stu dents here, said he had a good time. He also slated he spent between $30 or $40 more than the initial $75 cost of the trip. "Just great" was the only way to describe the skiing conditions found in Colorado this year. According to one skier, "There was a packed base of 52" and sunshine. The snow was crusty in the morn ing, but it warmed up very fast. It was so warm the ski bums were wearing cut-offs." d Later Eows For Sensors A new policy formulated by an Associated Women Stu dents (AWS) study committee will allow 12 o'clock hours for senior girls this semester on those nights which were for merly regulated by 11 o clock hours. This will be in effect only for those seniors who will graduate in June or August of this year. The plan was instituted to Regents Lower Retirement Full-time staff members of the University may now re tire at age 62 according to a new policy set by the Regents Friday. The lowered retirement age is not automatic, and will be used when such early retire ment is in the best interests of the University and the per son. The mandatory retirement age of 65 will remain in force. R e g e n t s' professorships were granted two faculty members, Dr. Walter Wright, associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Dr. Howard Ottoson, chairman of the Department of Agricul tural Economics. The Regents accepted re search grants totaling $99,824.

Marines Testing Students Today The Marine Corps Officer Selection team is giving se lection tests and interviewing interested students in the main lounge of the Union to day. Three officer training pro grams are offered by the Marine Corps, according to Capt. R. W. Badeker, selec tion officer from Des Moines. None of the nroerams re quire on-campus training, re serve meetings, or drills dur ing the school year. For further Information, students may see Capt. Badeker. give the girls more latitude in their schedules to meet the increasing demands from out side activities. Regulating committees will be main talned by the senior girls in the individual houses to super vise the check-in and check out procedure for the new hours. This policy will avoid placing an extra burden on the house mothers. At the end of the semester, an AWS evaluating commit tee will survey the merits of the new system. This survey will then be used to deter mine whether or not the new hours will become a perma nent policy. Dean Snyder, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, re ferred to the change as a "fine idea" which was in co ordination with the general liberalization trend in Univer sity policv. She also said that there had been some objec tion to the policy because there were not enough girls in some of the houses who wanted to take advantage of the later hours to maintain a supervising committee. This required girls who did not in tend to use the change to stay up later than they normally would to act as supervisors. Underclassmen will have the normal second-semester change in hours. Freshman girls will have 10:30 hours to replace their former 9 o'clock hours. Sophomorp and junior girls' hours will remain the same. New Students Warned Ol Work Ahead A note of encouragement and warning was made to 320 new students, including trans fers and new freshmen, at the University's annual mid-year new student convocation Fri day. Vice Chancellor Adam Breckenridge told the stu dents that they enter the Uni versity at a time when doors will open to them that cannot be dreamed of now. "But I should warn you something about this place," he said. "You are to be here with professionals the teach ers. You are amateurs." "The teacher and you may have some differences from the beginning. One is the atti tude toward the work of learn ing and learning is very hard work. The teacher knows it well, and knows that to have much learning you must persevere, that you must be persistent and be willing to face failure now and then." Breckenridge told the stu dents that they might even meet dull people once in a while, but that they will never find real learning dull. "If you will believe that, you won't have much time while here to worry about re wards now or later and will come to realize that you will acquire a zest for life you have not heretofore known. If will be filled with wonder, a respect for those of learning, and a deeper respect for achievement," he said. "We have reason to believe that vou can earn or be paid three times as much with a college degree than without any college educa tion," he said. But the Vice Chancellor also warned that earning in itself will never be the full reward. There are such factors as sta tus in the community, the changing of bias and opin ion and the qualities of cul ture. Breckenridge told the stu dents that, like their teach ers, they are possessed with a purely human nature and that their convictions will be reshaped as they learn more and more. "For the amateur, periodic failure and challenge are frightening," he said. "You must learn to accept them as part of the reason for being here." f. :K A r i
