University theatre installs
the latest in
new lighting equipment
Three major changes in Univer
sity theater equipment were made
this summer with the savings of
that group from the 1940-41 sea
son. Purchased were a new light
bridge, balcony spotlight, hangers
and X-ray borders.
The bridge, a modern innova
tion, found in few university thea
ters according to Paul Bogen, di
rector, is a catwalk from which
spotlights may be adjusted and
focused with great facility. It is
expected to furnish more effective
light for the entire stage. '
No eye strain.
The balcony spotlights will re
place the outmoded footlights
Smith replaces
H. T. Decker
New instructor to serve
as assistant choral leader
J. Dayton Smith of McCook will
succeed Hermann T. Decker as in
structor in the music department
of the university this semester ac
cording to an announcement made
by the chancellor's office Satur
day. Mr. Decker has accepted a
place as chairman of the music de
partment at eastern new mexico
college.
Smith comes to Lincoln directly
from summer work at Episcopal
church school at Evergreen, Colo.
He was formerly director of the
famous St Olaf choir at St. Olaf
College in Northfield Minn., Smith
will serve as instructor in voice
and assistant choral director here.
Sprint to class
provides babys
airings at Baylor
It took some arranging but the
Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Potts
have worked oul a daily living
schedule to . take into considera
tion their yea r-and-a-half-old
daughter and their classes at Bay
lor university, Waco, Tex.
They arranged their class sched
ules so one could be with the baby
at all times, but it happened that
each took alternate hours so the
baby-to-class and class-to-baby
rush now comes every hour from
8 a. m. to 2:40 p. m.
And as bad luck would have it,
they found there was no house
available near the campus to per
mit them time for the baby-to-ciass
sprints.
So they worked it out like this:
Mr. Potts goes to his eight o'clock
class, leaving Mrs. Potts with the
baby. At 8:55 he hurries toward
home. On the way he meets his
wife, carrying the child in her
arms. She hands him the baby
which failed to light up the front
of the stage satisfactorily. With
the very latest clipsoidal spot
lights, eye strain will be avoided,
university theater heads said.
The X-ray borders will be ex
tended from the bridge. They are
used to make greati-r color varia
tions. "With this new equipment, it
will be possible to present much
more effective show and improve
the technical side of the produc
tions," Bogcn said. "As in the past
it will be the policy to continue
improvement of the theater by
using all money saved from pro
ductions to purchase better and
more modern equipment."
Flash heads
issue SOS
for new staff
Sending out an SOS for assist
ants, Jim Lipsey, editor, and Mel
vin Tannenbaum, business man
ager of the Awgwan Flash, de
clared yesterday that there were
plenty of opportunities in cither
the business or editorial depart
ments with no staff appointments
having been made.
Both said they would be in the
new Awgwan office on the third
floor of the union Monday and
Tuesday afternoons to interview
interested students.
In a general office shakeup, the
Comhusker staff moved to the old
Awgwan headquarters adjoining
the Daily office. The commuters
club is to take over the old Corn
husker office, according to union
heads.
With Cornhuskcrs on sale
JRussel promises new, unusual
yearbook; will use six colors
Predictions by staff members
that the 1942 Comhusker will be
the hit of the campus preceded
the yearbook campaign which will
begin Monday at freshman regis
tration in the coliseum.
Just returned from a special
business trip to Chicago, where
she spent three days in selecting
materials for the cover of the 1942
annual, editor Shirley Russel de
clared that "this year's Comhusk
er will be something new and dif
ferent, a book that's guaranteed
to knock your eyes out."
Outstanding among the new
features will be the utilization of
the largest number of colors ever
used in yearbook history. In ad
dition to black, five other colors,
red, blue, blue green, rust, and
yellow will be used.
Also promised are increased
military, athletic, and fine arts,
sections, a new section on womeaj
and, according to editor Russel,
"new and exciting layouts with
lots and lots of photographs of
the campus and campus life. In
fact photography is the thing in
this year's Comhusker. There will
be a really swell cover, a new
idea in the way of beauty queen
pictures, and the same price a
usual."
Cost of the yearbook when paid
in full is $4.50 and by the install
ment plan, $4.75. Students may
obtain any further information
concerning the yearbook in the
Comhusker office, located in the
Union.
Thiel announces ...
Student council
for revision of
Extensive revision of the point
system will be one of the first
items of business taken up by the
student council, according to Bur
ton Thiel, president. The council
will meet the early part of next
week.
Special attention will be given
to the revision of the point sys
tem in relation to the student
union board, the university play
ers, and very probably to various
other campus activities. Thiel
stated "I cannot speak for the en
tire council, of course, but it is
quite probable that revisions will
be made."
Point system aim.
Aim of the point system is to
and hurries on to school. He takes
the little girl home again.
The exchange occurs from
father to mother at 10 a. m., from
mother to father at 11:40 a. m.
and so on throughout the day.
Of course, the baby gets plenty
of airing and when one or the
other of her parents is a little late
she changes hands with the
mother almost on the run.
Anderson returns
from survey trip
Miss Esther S. Anderson of the
geography department has return
ed from a study trip to the east,
where she gathered material for
her forthcoming book, "Regional
Geography of the Continents,"
which she and Prof. E. E. Lackey
are preparing.
Prof. Anderson undertook ur
ban studies of several large cities
in the East and made a number
of physiographic studies. While in
New York she visited with Dr.
William Van Royen, formerly of
the unvirsity geography faculty,
and Mrs. Van Royen.
makes plans
point system
. . as first business
make it possible for more stu
dents to participate in the univer
sity activities; and to make it im
possible for one student to "mo
nopolize" too many student of
fices. Most of the executive student
offices are "pointed" and no stu
dent may hold more executive po
sitions than the maximum rule
will allow. The activities in which
a student may participate are de
cided upon his grade average, and
his years in school.
Activity requirements.
A student who wishes to repre
sent the university in any official
capacity must have successfully
completed twenty-seven hours of
work in the two preceding semes
ters. No student who is not regu
larly enrolled in the university or
who is not carrying 12 hours of
academic work satisfactorily is al
lowed to represent the university.
If any of the point system rules
are changed by the incoming
council, they will not become ef
fective until next year. Ben Alice
