ganization of student govern
ment with a long list of proj
ects and goals and a prom
ise by President Kent Neu
meister that ASUN will be
"the supreme governing
body."
A BURGEONING student
enrollment brought problems
to the campus in class sched
uling and registration. 1965
enrollment was expected to
reach 14,300 to 14,400, far
above the 12,901 enrollment
figure of last fall.

the world's largest atom

original list of 200 locations.
GOV. MORRISON and Mar

Nebraska, met privately with
President Johnson. Although
the subject of their talk was
not revealed, it is believed
it dealt with the state politi

Robert Krall, 26, filed as the
Republican challenger for the
Congressional seat now held
by Clair Callan of Odell, in
the state's First District.
THE GOVERNOR'S blue
ribbon tax study committee
examined the conflict in state
property tax laws in their
first session. Some commit
tee members chafed at the
discussion, as they wanted
the committee to deal with a
broader scope of topics, in
cluding what tax form is best
for the state.
NATION . . .
U THANT, returning to
United Nations headquarters
in New York, said his peace
mission on the Indian Pakis

return trip as the war con

and enlistees
caught in the expanded draft
won't be sent to Viet Nam.
A SEARCH continued for
the missing barge sunk in the
Mississippi River loaded with
600 tons of deadly chlorine
gas. Weather was the gremlin
blamed as the cause for the
barge disaster, as the toll in
lives and damage taken by
Hurricane Betsy grew.
Workmen Add Offices

Sounds of speaking mingle
with the pounding of hammers
as workmen construct three
new offices in what was part
of the lobby in Temple Build

library of Masquer skits and
a work area for secretaries.
Work on the remodeling pro

University Theater Makes
Change To Repertory Style
By Jan Itkin
Junior Staff Writer
"Variety of content" and
"change in tradition" are key
phrases in describing the Uni
versity Theater program for
1965-66.
According to Dr.
Morgan, University
William

director, the year s progr?mj
consists of four plays p
sented in H o w e 1 1 Memorial
Theater in the repertory man-1
ner, and an opera.
Repertory theater, Morgan ,
continued, was popular in
Shakespeare's time and there
is now a growing trend across i
the nation to use it again.
a varied selection of plays
whose performances are in
terspersed. "We have a busy, sophist!
cated, and multi-interested i
audience who have many
commitments," Morgan'
stated. "We feel we can bet-!
ier serve me siuaeni ana i
community interest by giving
tnem a
variety oi weekends ,
to chose from."
Not only does the audience
benefit from repertory thea
ter, he continued, but the ac
tor has a week to lay off and
think about the next perform
ance. Volunteer crew workers
have an opportunity to work I
wun onierent crews.
The cast also can take the
play on tour on its week off,
thus entertaining more peo
ple and helping the actor to
learn more about his trade.
Difficulties arise when two
casts must rehearse simul
taneously as is the case with
"Who's Afraid of Virginia
Woolf?" and "Macbeth." Use
of the stage and crews are
necessary to each cast.
"Virginia Woolf," a one set
play, will therefort be able to Bryan K. McCarty, Samuel

"Food service at Abel is at
a critical stage," Bryan said,
"but only as a last resort
would we close il a"d send
students temporarily
elsewhere to eat."
Workers are especially j
needed for full-time skilled:
and unskilled jobs, including
two head cooks and several
assistant cooks, he said.

Troubles began this sum

"Fosick was an expert in
food service management and

are at a premium nationally."
Fosick's resignation was

"We've got plenty of brains
on the problem, but still not
enough brawn," he said. "The
quality of the food is still
good, and it's remarkable to
me that they get the food out
at all."
The main source of the
problem is the general short
age of food service personnel
in Lincoln. Bryan said.
"One alternative solution to
the problem is to pull person

Bryan said. "But we want to

homecoming chairmen of the
groups said that they "appre
ciate the Innocents sponsor
ship of Homecoming displays
in past years, and understand
their reasons for withdrawing
the display award."
The statement added that
if living units are "still inter
ested in Homecoming d i s -plays.
Tassels and Corn Cobs
will tentatively plan to take
over the responsibilities of
sponsoring such displays."
In order to determine if in
terest remains in continuing
the displays, it was asked that
a letter be sent to Tassels by
Friday, Sept. 24.
The statement said that
suggestions and comments on
the issue would be welcome
at the time.
If a majority of living units
wish to continue Homecomins
displays, a statement on the j
position held by Tassels and 1

will be exolained m the Dailv i

Approximately 600 Univer
sity freshmen will be stranded
in bleacher seats for Satur
day's game with Texas Chris
tian University as a result of
the tidal-wave increase in stu
dent ticket purchasers.
Ticket Manager Jim Pitten
ger, shaking his head over the
phenomenal jump in student
ticket sales, said he intends
to have all students in sta
dium seats for the next game
on Oct,
2 with Iowa State and
for all home games there
after.
The freshmen who drew
bleacher seats for the TCU
game will receive a rebate of
$1 on their season ticket
price, and will be charged $9
instead of $10 for the six home
game admissions.
The ticket dilemma, Pitten-
ger said, stems primarily
from a great leap upward inis"",,"r ine 8"- wl

the 12,901 students. Deter

slated for this year.
Some members will also do
experimental research with
University equipment, faculty
assistance and college credit.
The first meeting will be
Sept. 23 with later meetings
scheduled for the first and
third Thursday of the month.
Faculty advisers are Dr. John
Davidson and Dr. Wendell

The 'Chess Club, still in the

"Making a further reduction
in the number of stadium

some disappointments." Pit

stadium seats than bleacher
seats but we are going on the
policy that students are pri
