Vote Delayed
By Legislature
On NU Budget
Tlie sUite legislature did not
come to a decision on the Uni
versity's 1949-51 budget Thurs
day. The legislature was to vote on
the budget over a week ago, but
it is likely that action won't be
taken on the University appro
priation until today.
Chairman John Callan of the
budget committee said that he
had a speaking engagement in
Omaha Thursday and could not
be present to recommend the
compromise proposal to which
the governor and Callan agreed
Wednesday.

"Women, women, women, wo
men!" The title of one of the songs
from this year's Kosmet Klub
spring revue has been a topic of
debate for Kosmet Klub members
and the Pan-Hellenic office for
nearly a year.
The discussion started last fall
and its prognosis would hardly be
classified as favourable. The crux
of the matter is that KK members
would like to change the spring
show to a real musical comedy
and they would like to have,
as members of the cast, women.
FORMER PRESIDENT, Nobbie
Tiemann, started the campaign

If safety records were news.'..
If safety were spectacular, it would be
front-page news that Bill Jones and other
telephone men drive 55,000 vehicles more
than a million miles a day-with one of
the nation's lowest accident rates.
Today, for example, Bill will drive a lot
of miles. He'll guide his familiar preen
telephone truck through the heavy traffic
of shopping centers, he'll go along quiet
streets where children play, he'll travel
lanes and highways at the edge of town.
nd every mile, every turn, will always
be driven steadily and carefully.
You see, Bill and the telephone eompanj
consider good driving as much a part of
his job as installing a telephone. The truck
which Bill drives is checked and serviced
regularly, so it's always safety-perfect.
And Bill gets a lot of training in safety
training that covers all phases of his
work.
Bill has helped put together one of the
best safety records in the country. It's a
record we're proud of and so is Bill.

with a trip to the Pan-Hellenic
office. Mrs. Phillip Smelkin, Pan
Hellenic adviser, heard the case
but warned Tiemann that his
idea was unsound.
Next the issue went to the
Pan-Hellenic council which com
posed a two-page death warrant
for the project. Some one sug
gested that all the women on
rnmnus are not affiliated but the
scheme seemed to have been
dealt a fatal blow.
The spring show was planned
in it's usual manner. An original
script was chosen and tryouts
were scheduled. The tryouts were
for men only.

ACCORDING to The Daily Ne
braskan, the show included the
usual quota of "grapefruit" and
"hairy" males. The paper's critic
termed the show's title "Let's
Change the Subject," "a pregnant
suggestion."
Even a member of Kosmet
Klub admitted that "it seems to
"J
...:
Bob Sim
be a pretty general opinion that
the show this year stunk." The
author of these words preferred
to remain unidentified.
bo again the cry for women
in the show was heard from the
Kosmet Klub, The Daily Kebras
kan and a number of talented
women.
Rex Pettijohn. KK member,
summed up the situation by say
ing, "I'm in favor of a musical
comedy with women. I think it's
been proved that the all-male
slapstick type of show is a thing
of the past. It's just out that's
all."
AS FAR as the men of Kosmet
Klub are concerned the agree-
j mcnt is pretty unanimous.
I "We fought hard for women in
the show last fall that's what
delayed the show. I'm definitely
in favor of it," said KK member,
Merle Stadlcr.
"It is our hope to use other
University organizations in the
snow, orcncsis lor example.
There is a lot of talent on the
campus that never gets an op
portunity to display itself. Few
people in the mid-west ever see
a real musical comedy," he
added.
ON THE WOMEN'S side of the
issue opinion seems to be divided.
When asked if she were in
favor of women in the cast of a
KK musical comedy, Wanda
Young, president of Chi Omega,
said, "They discussed this at Pan
Hellenic and they felt that it
would degenerate. It would just
consist of a lot of dirty jokes.
If it could be kept clean it wouid
be all right."
In support of the same opinion.
Alpha Xi Delta president, Pat
McCormick, answered the same
question with 'Pan-Hel made a
very thorough investigation. Un
til tlie questions raised by the
girls who made the investigation
nave been answered satisfactorily
i m opposed it it. I m all for it u
you can make it a real show but
until KK has a concrete plan for
keeping it clean, no."
SEVERAL SORORITY presidents
wondered if such a program
would replace Coed Follies.
Pi Phi president, Donna Kie
chel, simply said, "No. We've
been told at Pan-Hel that it just
isn't the right tiling to do. They've
had trouble with it before.
In answer to these charges
Leon Pfeiffer, KK secretary, re
torted, "I'm in favor of women
in the show. Nct only will it
raise the moral of the show but
