U Theatre Moves
To Wesleyan Stage
The University Theater has fi
nally found a stage. For the re
mainder of the season the campus
dramatic group will use the
Plainsman theater of Nebraska
Wesleyan for productions.
The transaction, definitely com
pleted after several days of dis
cussion, resulted from last week's
closing of the Temple Theater.
The theater, labeled "a definite
fire hazard," was declared unsafe
for any large group of people.
Two Tlays Cancelled.
Commenting on the types of
plays to be produced, University
Theater Director Dallas Williams
stated, "Due to the complexity of
the sets, the large casts and trans
portation difficulties, the previ
ously scheduled plays, "Othello"
and "I Remember Mama," cannot
be presented.,
"Instead, a pair of comedies,
"... But Not Goodby" by George
Seaton, and "Yes and No, by
Kenneth Home will be presented.
The Seaton comedy will be given
Friday, March 18, and Saturday,
March 19. The Home play is
slated for Friday, April 8, and
Saturday, April 9."
"A special statement will be
made later to season ticket hold
ers,"" added Dr. Williams. "Each
season ticket holder will receive
a letter in the near future."
Tickets to Sell at IMainsman.
Tickets for persons not holding
season tickets will be sold at the

'New Arrival9
"Pardon me, but your addition
is showing!"
Such is the typical comment of
the majority of people entering
the Cornshucks office this week.
The humor magazine has indeed
outdone itself and has doubled its
office space.
Besides being larger the office
is now soundproof or nearly so
with the addition of a series of
beaverboard panels.
Stated Jack Schirmer, Corn
shucks editor, "We are naturally
pleased with the new arrival.

plete satisfaction.

ernment to participate in the fi
nancial support of schools was in
troduced in the United States
Senate last week by. Senator

the bill in the last Congress, en
dorsed the new bill in behalf of
the republican sponsorship.
Minimum Set
The amount involved is $300,-
000,000 per year for the purpose
of helping the states, particularly
those in greatest need, to provide
schools for all children and to
help equalize educational oppor
tunity by setting up a minimum
foundation school program. The
bill seeks to provide for every
child in the United States an ex

Prepsters Show Enthusiasm
Over First 'Scarlet and Cream9
High school students have re
acted "with enthusiasm" to the
first issue of Scarlet and Cream,
according to M. J. Melick, editor
of the Student Foundation paper
for high schools.
Published late in November, the
four-page paper contained news
of the University of interest to the
secondary school pupils. It told of
building and beautification plans,
In Proportion to Wealth
In accordance with the terms
of the new federal aid bill, no
state will receive less than $5 for
each child and school age. The
money appropriated is to be issued
by the federal treasury to the state
treasuries and expended at the
direction of the educational de
partments of the respective states.
Allocation of the funds to the
states is to be directly in pro
portion to the number of children
to be educated and in inverse pro
portion to the wealth of the state.
In states where schools are main
tained for separate racial groups,
such schools will receive federal
funds in proportion to the ratio
of the minority groups to the total
population of the state.
An important item of the bill
provides that control of education
policies shall remain in the hands
of the states and their localities.
Federal control or influence of the
educational program is specifically
prohibited.

dresses, phone numbers, school
year of students, and names, ad
dresses, phone numbers, offices
and titles of all faculty and ad
ministrative members.
Printing: Difficulties Arise.
The 1948-49 Directory had been
promised to students before
Christmas vacation by the Stu
dent Foundation. Likewise, the
Cornhusker Printing Co. had
promised all copies of the Direc
tory to the Student Foundation in
time for sale then. Printing dif
ficulties, regardless of the con
tract, slowed publication of the
Directory for weeks after its ex
pected completion.
An intensive Directory sales cam
paign will take place this week
about the University under the di
rection of Audrey Flood, business
manager. House sales planned in
Law, Ag, Sosh, Library and Union
are being headed by Nancy Por
ter, Gloria Pinney and Ginnv
Koch. Bud Gerhart, Foundation
treasurer, will handle the check
out booth.
Lawrie Heads Directory.
Editor of the Directory this year
was Peggy Lawrie. Under her di
rection, Foundation workers
checked IBM lists given to the
group by the University. When
student and faculty information
was complete, with the help of
University personnel and the
Telephone Co., it was submitted
to the printers. This work, and
all ad soliciting, was completed
two months ago, reported Miss
Lawrie.
and upon the suggestion of
Comptroller John Selleck, the
board approved that an engineer
and architect make recommenda
tions for the use of the building.
The Regents also voted to
change the name of Northeast
residence hall for women to
Amanda H. Heppner hall, in
honor of the former dean of
women who died last month.
Thirty-seven appointments and
18 resignations were also ap
proved by the board. Clarence A.

and study aids of the University.
At least 60 answers have been
received in response to a request
by the editors to submit news for
an "exchange paper" made up of
strictly high schools news. These
schools have written to Miss Me
lick or Virginia Koch, exchange
editor, enclosing articles, news
items or copies of their papers.
The appointed "reporters" of
the Nebraska high schools have
written such comments as, "We
are very interested in this fine
opportunity" and "We are looking
forward to this paper very much."
Letters have been sent to the
Foundation paper in a stream
both before and after vacation,
said Miss Koch. There is now an
abundance of material for the
next issue of Scarlet and Cream
which will be published imme
diately by the staff.
