How Far Can They Go?
Women's participation in extra-curricular activities on
the campus may suffer a severe blow as coeds who sud
denly find themselves over-pointed have to drop an activity,
according to the recent revision of the point system set up
by the AWS Board.
The suggested scale was announced last fall so that or
ganizations would have the information before they elec
ted officers this spring. However, the proposed changes
caused no comment last fall and no opportunity for such
comment was offered. Consequently, the recent announce
ment came as a shock to some coeds.
No good reason for the switch was given then or has
been announced now. The purpose is undoubtedly to see
that a few people dp not manage several activities, but it
may turn out that only a few coeds will venture into ac
tivities, knowing that if they work in several and like them,
they will have to drop them if they are elected to a presi
dency. It is obvious, also, that holdingone of the "A" po
sitions involves a lot of work and such a position needs
time given to it.
But limiting a coed's participation to one activity limits
her view-point. All extra curricular activities in college are
for the experience and practice which we get out of them.
If a person, man or woman, has the ability to get an "A"
office in college, he probably will not limit his activities
in community life to one, and he should not. There is need
for some control, of course, because one individual can
only handle a certain amount of work, but a person who
holds an office in one organization can help a great deal in
others, in college or in the community.
The function of the AWS board is to execute the will of
the women students. If it is the desire of the coeds to have
their activities limited by the revised point system in ef
fect, that is fine. We wonder, though, if it is the will and
how it was determined.
Dial Twistings . . .
BY LEE HARRIS
The good news of the day is
in the lorm of a slight retraction
of one of last week's Dial Twist
ings. The good word comes our
way that Campus Tunes and Chat
ter will not go off the air as
stated in a review of Dial Twist
ings last week. Instead, this same
popular show will take the air
at a different lime this Wednes
day night. The time set for the
show Wednesday night is 11:00
Our sincere apologies to Simon's
Snooper for a brief moment of
inaccuracy incurred last week. To
&11 radio listeners, listen in to
Campus Tunes and Chatter Wed
nesday night when this show is
"presented from 11:00 to 11:15 over
KFOR.
Review.
This evening Juke Box Review
vill make its radio debut at 10:30
ever station KFAB. This half
hour show will be presented every
Tucr.day and Thursday over KFOR
at the same time. The new show
has as its M.C.'s those two pop
ular Kosmet Klub script prize
winners, Dave Andrews and Bill
Wiseman. These two well known
personalities not only present this
promising half-hour of recordings,
transcriptions, and general talk
about nothing; but they also act
as the writers and producers of
the new feature. Listen tonight
for the new Juke Box Review
over KFOR at 10:30.
Backtracking thru the evening,
we find that the Chesterfield Sup
per tlub will go on the air at
6:00 over the NBC network bring
ing to radio millions everywhere
the kind of musical entertainment
they like to hear most. You can
reach your nearest NBC station,
WOW, by turning the old faithful
dial around to 590. For the latest
in the way of news events, return
to NBC at 7:45 and listen to H. V.
Kaltcnborn, one of the deans of
radio newseasting, review the
latest world news.
Mr. Comedy.
Tonight ia the night that Bob
Hope fans wait for all thru the
week. Yes, Mr. Comedy himself
causes his millions of listeners to
sit up and take notice as he stirs
that kind of never forgetable
laughter into your daily diet of
radio listening. Bob Hope still
ranks on top of the list of radio
entertainers with his ever-lasting
wisecracking and sharpness of
character. Tonight at 9:00 NBC
hits the top in the way of fun
and laughter.
For a change in late evening
dance band listening, flip the
handy little dial to KFAB and
listen to Jack Edwards' orchestra
from 11:05 until 11:30 at which
time another newcomer to the
CBS network (new in the 11:30
slot) takes to the air for a half
hour of enjoyable dance band
music. Listen to Eddy Howard
who closes out the day of radio
listening.
To th Editor:
The housing conditions on this
campus are a great problem; how
ever, the housing situation here
is more acute for members of
minority groups. Up-to-date, the
International House is the only
organized house which is open to
all crouDS. The "I" House ac
commodates about thirty-four
people.
The policy approved by the
Board of Regents concerning
Women's Dormitory of occupancy
in session June 17, 1944, is as
follows:
"(1) The University should
provide and operate an interna
tional house open to women stu
dents of any race or color when
ever there may be as many ap
plicants (sixteen) for residence in
such a house as are necessary for
it to be operated without financial
loss either on the co-operative
basis or as a dormitory furnish
ing both room and board without
service obligations on the part of
the resident as may be determined
by the office of the Dean of
Women (in the light of the de
sires of applicants) with approval
of the Board of Regents."
"(2) The University should
provide and operate dormitory
facilities for the exclusive use
of any group of women of the
same race whenever there may
be as many applicants (sixteen)
for residence in such a dormitory
as are necessary for it to be op
erated without financial loss
either on the cooperative basis or
as a dormitory furnishing both
room and board without service
obligations on the part of the
resident as may be determined
by the office of the Dean of
Women (in light of the desires
of the applicant) with approval
of the Board of Regents."
Is this a democratic policy?
"(3) The requirement that
freshmen women shall reside in
University residence halls should
not apply to students of other
than the white race until and
unless the University may op
erate an international house and
a house exclusively for the race
of the concerned."
Since the University (includ
ing the dormitory) is a tax sup
ported institution, and all groups
of the state pay this tax, the
University and the dormitory are
paid for by all. Therefore, is it
not plausible that all should reap
the benefits?
Sincerely,
DOROTHY LASHER,
RUTH NORMAN,
BETTY PATRICK.

B. Harrington
Named Model
"Ulsterman"
Bob Harrington, freshman in
Teachers college was named Ne
braska's "Most Typical Irishman"
in a contest sponsored by the
Chesterfield Cigarette company, it
was announced yesterday.
Harrington, whose grandpar
ents came from county Trolley
Ireland, celebrated his birthday
yesterday to coincide with St,
Patrick's Day. He will be pre
pen ted with a carton of Chester
fields by Jack Hill, Chesterfield
campus representative.
Contest Close.
In a close contest, Michael
Patrick Byrne, sophomore in aits
and sciences was named Ne
braska's second Most Typical
Irishman. Byrnes' mother came
from County Kilkenny and his
father came from County Cuilaw
Before his entry into the navy
Byrne played a fife in the Cleve
land, Ohio, Sons and Daughters
of Erin, an Irish organization
Byrne will also be presented with
a carton of Chesterfields, Hill
said.
The campus representative
went on to say that this con
test is the first in a number of
such promotional ideas which will
be sponsored by the Chesterfield
company in a national effort to
familiarize more students with the
cigarette which was proved to be
most popular in a countrywide
survey.
"Henry V" Ducats Priced
Low; Special To Students
University students will be
able to see the technicolor pro
duction of William Shakes
peare's "Henry V" at a re
duced price of one dollar.
Reservation coupons for the
picture which will run for one
week starting Thursday at the
Nebraska theater are available
to all students, and may be ob
tained without cost at both city
and Ag campus Unions. These
coupons are to be taken to the
Nebraska theater where they
can be exchanged for reserva
tions for either a day or even
ing performance at the student
price.
"Henry V" began as an idea
in 1937, When the actor was
appearing in a stage version of
the play at London's famed
"Old Vic" theater.
Many players .have bewailed
the inability, owing to the phys
ical shortcoming of the theater,
of offering a truly impressive
presentation of "Henry V," but
Olivier, the picture's producer-director-actor,
was the first who
decided to do something about
it. He had appeared in a num
ber of motion pictures and
realized that the camera me
dium alone could provide the
background for the broad and
stirring scenes conjured up by
the Bard.
The production, it was agreed,
had to be in technicolor to repre
sent fully the colorful period.
The production staff was even
more emphatic that this pre
senation of Henry V" should
be in the best Globe theater
tradition, using the camera to
re-establish the spirit of the
most famous playhouse in the
history of the English-speaking
theater.
It was decided to present the
play as it was offered at the
playhouse in 1600, moving the
camera outside the confines of
the theater only when the ac
tion demanded more space than
the playhouse provided.
The shifting of the camera
from the stage of the Globe was
not made arbitrarily. Each and
every shift is made at the in
stigation of the playwright on
the occasions when he com
plains, in the play, that he can
not adequately set the scene.
"Work, work your thoughts,
and therein see a siege," says
the Bard, knowing that the
magnitude of a siege defied pre
sentation within a theater's
walls.
It is these shortcomings of
the legitimate theater that the
motion picture version of "Hen
ry V" overcomes.
