If t ? ! ! , 3 PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Thursday, October 30, 1947 Slaj chert Makes Second ISS Report From France If plans made at the post-con ference ISS session at Combloux France, jell, there will be five study tours from which American ' students may choose in '48. They are as follows 1. A study tour of social and economic life in Hungary, Ru mania and the fcsiacK &ea area including discussions and meet ings at the universities of Buda pest, Elug, Brasov, Bucharest and Galatz. 2. A study tour of art and mu sic in Italy through Milan, Ver ona, Padua. Venice, Bologne, Naples, Roma, Florence, Genoa and Turin. 3. A study tour of "Greece To day" through the mainland and islands of Greece. 4. A study tour of education in eastern France and Switzerland, to universities, technical institutes, primary and secondary schools. Meetings and discussions with teachers, professors and educators will be arranged through eastern France, Paris, Nancy, Dijon, Besancon, Lyon, and through Switzerland Geneva, Lausanne, Rhone Valley, Alps, Rhone Gla cier, Lugano, Zurich, Basle, Bern undNeuchatel. 5. A study tour of Poland. Students participating in any of these tours will assemble for a final get-together at the ISS stu dent chalet in Combloux (in the French Alps) at the end of the summer, just as we did this sum mer. Study tours, it must be under stood, are planned entirely sep arate of the ISS conference which will be held next July either in India or Hungary. It should be made clear that the University of Nebraska may' send a delegate to the conference or study tour or BOTH. The study tours are for students interested in interna tional relations as well as in the narticular studv the tour will un dertake, so it isn't necessary to go through the formality of becom ing a "delegate" to the study tour. That formality is required for the conference, however. Obviously, the number of American delegates to an international conference must be limited. Theme of next year's ISS con ference will be "Towards a Demo cratic University." There will be a regional conference of Euro pean universities next March in Budapest. I have been invited to attend the conlerence for ISS by the Geneva office. However, whether or not I will be able to attend will depend on when it will be, and if I'll have time. If I should get to that conference, I will send specific data on the con ference and the study tours for 48 We were ten Americans touring Italy this year. The bill of fare was a trifle too high for Euro pean students, and since the ob ject of the tour broadening in ternational understanding is lost when only one group of students participate, the budgets are now undergoing the careful scrutiny of the entire ISS Geneva staff. A study tour is much more valuable if the travelers themselves travel with foreigners rather than just meet and speak to them on their home ground. Speaking of finances, if there is any real interest in this sort of opportunity at Nebraska, it might be worth the space to relate the Minnesota story, titled "All Min nesotans Aren't Isolationists." Take it for what it's worth! A terrific interest in interna tional study hours took hold at the University of Minnesota last fall. Everyone thought it would be a fine idea to do something along the line of Smith College's "Junior Year Abroad" but Minne sota was a state university, and had too many students for such a vast undertaking. But the stu dents were earnest. Forty of them boys and girls from sophs to seniors seriously intended to spend one summer school session abroad. So instead of waiting for something to stumble into their parlors, they went out and cam paigned for funds through Min neapolis, St. Paul, all over the state. And we collected $14,000 by the time our campaign was fin ished," explained Bob Engan. Phi Delt prexy at Minn. U.. on board ship. The 40 students split into four groups, each headed by a univer sity professor. One group went to study the "Rise of Fascism in Spain." Another groun undertook the "French Drama in Pans. Still another went to Great Britain tc studv "The Coal Industry in England." Full university credit was given the students for their summer's work. The professors enioyed it. the students loved it, their parents apnroved it. and all in all. it twnrd out to be a fine idea. Well, that's one way. Ccmenius Club. There will be a Cominius Club meeting Thursday Oct. 30 at 7:30 p. m. in room 24 of the Temple building. Mr. Charles Smrha will beg uest speaker. All Czech stu dents are invited to attend. Shaw Takes ' Joan' Honors By Gloria Polsky. If audience reaction can be considered a yardstick for meas uring the success of a play, the reception "Joan of Lorraine" re ceived when the curtain fell on the opening performance Wednes day night indicates that the Uni versity Theatre's first production of the year is a smash hit. , Mrs. Rita Shaw's characteriza tion of Maxwell Anderson's "Joan of Lorraine" will long be remem bered as an outstanding perform ance on the Temple Theatre stage Her superb acting seems to have set the pace for the other members of the cast who turned out a play with a professional finish rarely found in college productions. The last interlude of the play, in which Joan found the answer to the question of why all people have faith in something, gave Mrs Shaw an opportunity to reveal the full scope of her ability. Dewey Ganzel as Les Ward, the dauphin, followed close behind with another fine charcaterization of an equally difficult role. Can zel was every inch the weak ruler of the French court of his period, veering from one faction to an other throughout the play. Joe Moore, Gaylord Marr, and John Wenstrand also contributed ably to the revelation of corruptness and disapation prevalent in royal circles. The unconventfal staging of the play offered a difficulty which both stage crew and cast easily overcame. The effective use of lighting set the tone for each in terlude ofthe two-act episode. It is always apparent when both the backstage men and the actors on the stage are working together for only then can a show go off as smoothly as did this production. Don Johannes, who played the role of Jimmy Masters, deserves credit for the co-ordination his acting established for the two parts ofthis play-within-a-play. He did a fine job as both the in quisitor in the internal play and as the director of the play rehearsals. In the supporting cast a first rate performance w'as turned in by Av Bondarin in the roles of both Jean d'Arc and Father Mas sieu. As Joan's brother Bondarin rendered a speech on the nobles ot England which provided the au dience with one of the few hu morous incidents of the evening. Polly Ann Rickly as Tessie, the assistant stage manager, and Dewey Ganzel provided another comedy episode in a typical bou doir scene of medieval times.

SEATED AT THE CONFERENCE TABLE at the NSA regional con vention in Kansas City are five Nebraska delegates. From left to right, picture center, are Norm Leger, Stanley Johnson, Harriet Quinn, B. J. Holcomb and Robert Coonley. Robert Coonley, Engineering college senior, was elected second vice-president of the Missouri- Nebraska-Kansas region of the National Students' association at regional convention held in Kansas City last weekend. Coonley. one of five delegates from the University of Nebraska, was unanimously elected to the position by the Assembly consist ing of 39 delegates from 17 uni versities and colleges in the re gion. Nine alternate delegates were present from the different schools. The tri-fold purpose of the con vention was to form a regional constitution, propose plans of ac tivity in the fields of domestic and nternational affairs, and elect five Executive Committee members, consisting of president, first vice president, second vice-president, secretary and treasurer. Delegates Active. The entire university delegation was active in shaping the consti tution and policies adopted along the conservative lines indicated by thought on the Nebraska campus. A preamble drafted by the Ne braska delegates setting forth the limitations and aims of the re gional organization was accepted by the assembly. The delegates had an additional article written into the regional constitution cre ating a faculty advisory council similar to the one of the national organization. Specific directives to the chair men of both the domestic and international commissions were introduced by Miss Betty Jeanne Holcomb. Arts and Sciences col lege senior. Both programs were adopted for the region with only minor revisions from r the Ne braska plans. Under these directives the re gional effort for the year will be directed primarily toward defin ing the needs of an NSA domestic program. ' ii Campus Commissions. The campus commSssfaps are in structed to compile reports for the regional body on such I topics as tbeir procedures of student gov ernment, handling of the student housing problems, treatment ac corded transfer students and the racial policies of their campus. International policies adopted were limited in scope. Commis sions set up on each campus are to report local arrangements for drawing foreign students into their campus society and the ef fect of pending government and private exchange programs at their campus. They will also dis tribute information locally con cerning opportunities for study and travel abroad as received from national agencies. A regional editorship was cre ated by a proposal of the univer sity's delegation. The editor will supervise publication of a periodic newsletter for distribution to schools in the region.

PHI GAM'S OUR CUESTS FOU TWILIGHT DANC ES'G SUNDAY 'Sock Social' Ag Feature Friday Night Bidding will be fast and furious at the College Activities Building Friday night, according to Barb Gooding, chairman of the Ag YM YW sock social to be held there from nine to twelve on that date. For those who wonder, a sock social is conducted in much the same manner as a box social. The main difference is that lunches are put up in oversize socks instead of boxes. "Everyone is invited to come," continued Barb, "girls will be ad mitted with their socks of eatables and men may come free to bid on the choice articles." The theme of the party is "hard times" and a prize will be awarded to the "worst dressed" "gal" and "fella." After the auction, games and dancing will continue until midnight. Don Smith and Vince Kess will be in charge of the entertainment for the evening and Gordon Lip pitt, executive secretary of the YM, will serve as auctioneer.
