music and movies and danc

One question asks which is
the individual's favorite sea
son of the year.
A psychological portion of
tbe test asks tbe student to
assign responsibility In the
case of a young princess who
Is devoured by a fire-breathing
dragon. The princess, be
cause she feels neglected and
unhappy when her husband
goes on long trips, is carried

husband and her godfather
will not help her get back and
she is eaten by tbe dragon.
The questionnaire asks who

ganized impromptu football
scrimmages on the lawns, but
most had their ears glued to
radioes as the Huskers pulled

utes of the contest.
The campus streets were
not totally deserted as groups
of high school seniors were
touring the campus on a sen
ior information day.

Black-PoiverTeach-In
Coinciding with a Berkeley
teach-in on black power, the
University will also host a
similar program Sunday.
These two teach-ins are
among the first across the
country concerning the new
civil rights concept of black
power, according to Al Slang
ier, president of Students for
a Democratic Society (SDS),
which is sponsoring the Uni
versity teach-in.
"Viet Nam and black pow
er are the two most important
issues facing the country,"
stated Spaagier.
He continued to say that
black power and civil rights
are things that normal col
lege courses never touch up
on, but are nevertheless rele
vant in today's society.
Sallying Point
In a press release, SDS
stated that since the inception
of the term "Black Power"
as a rallying point for much
of the civil rights movement,
there has been a radical shift
in the attitude of the public
toward the civil rights move
ment. Tbe term and the fear of
future Harlem's, future
Watts' and future Omaha's
seem to haunt the mind of
White America," tbe state
ment continues.
SDS states that the public
Is divided as to the wisdom
and the meaning of "Black
Power." For this reason, as
an educational program, SDS
is hosting a teach-in that will
attempt to represent the
views of all major civil rights
groups in the country, as well
as views of whites involved in
community organizing.
The program will be held
at 7 p.m. Sunday night in the
Nebraska Union ballroom.
Approximately nine panel
ists have been invited to
speak in the two-panel pro
gram. All major civil rights
groups will be represented,
with the possible exception of
the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People (NAACP), which has
not replied definitely as to its
participation in the program.

Mortar Board Holds
Seminar Wednesday
Facts about choosing and
getting into a graduate school
will be the subject of the Mor
tar Board graduate seminar
set for Wednesday at
7:30 p.m. in the Nebraska
Union.
The program, which is
sponsored annually by the
senior honorary, is aimed at
giving students information on
applying for graduate school
and on the financial assist
ance available, according to
Erma Winterer, program
chairman.
Miss Winterer said the
seminar is intended for both
men and women. It is de
signed to help juniors and
seniors in particular, but that
the program is open to all
interested students.
Students who hope to enter
graduate school need to plan
in advance. Miss Winterer
said, because many of the
fellowships and grants avail
able for graduate students
need to be filed for early in
the senior year.
Graduate school applica
tions must also be submitted
early, she said, if the stu
dent hopes to be admitted to
the school of his choice.
Wednesday's program. Miss
Winterer said, will include
two sessions, including talks
by James Olson, dean of the
Graduate College, and Frank
Haligren, d i r e c t o r of the

Olson's talk. Miss Winterer
said, will include general
comments on graduate school
and information on when to
apply and how to go about it.
Professors and graduate
students from six areas will
be on hand for the smaDer
sessions, she said. Fine art,
educational administration,
educational psychology, hu
manities, natural science and
social science teachers are
taking part.
Miss Winterer said the simi
lar group sessions will give
students a chance to ask
questions about specific fields
they are interested in and to
talk with students who are
now in the graduate program
of that area.
While the seminar topics
will center around the Univer
sity's graduate program, the
sessions should be helpful to
students planning to attend
any graduate school, Miss
Winterer said.
This is the sixth year Mor
tar Board has sponsored the
program. Miss Winterer said.
About 100 students attended
last year's session, she said.
Mary Ann Deems is co
chairman for the event.

ably be extinguished before the game on
Saturday, and until then will be tended
and maintained in two hour shifts, day
and night
Tbe Sigma Alpha Mus would like liv
ing units to contribute wood, Prince said,
since much would be needed to keep the
fire alive. He said that the members would
pick tip the wood if they are contacted.
Prince said that the lighting ceremony
will feature Coach Bob Devaney and many
of the Comhasker players.
