Martha Graham, called by leading critics the "greatest celebrity of the dance world", will bring her company of young stars to Lincoln during her lim ited tour prior to her regular New York season. Four of her theater dance pieces will be seen, including one of the famous solos which have won for her the title of "mis tress of the solo dance". The other works will be large group works, including at least one of her dance dramas. It is prob able that one work, not yet seen on Broadway, will be included in the repertory. Expressive Motion. "The dauc:, if approached simply, will tell the observer all there is to know in terms of motion," she believes. "The aim of my dancing is to impart the sensation of life, to energize the spectator, to send him away with a fuller sense of his own poten tialities and the power of realiz ing them." A full company will appear with Miss Graham. Unique among dance companies, it does not follow the line of continental ballet with premiere dancers, ballerinas, and the like. It is made up entirely of young modems, each of whom has at- j tained recognition in his own I right. In the dynamic approach of Miss Graham's particular type of dance-in-theatre, all are of ranking importance and share in ensemble choreography. Miss Graham's productions have always been in the lore front in establishing new me thods of stagecratt, scenery, lighting and costumes. This sea son, in addition to the usual staging by well known artists, an innovation is olfered in archi tectural sculptural decor de signed for and with the choreo graphy of the newest dances. Full productions will be carried, exactly as seen in New York. Male Dancers. Eric Hawkins, leading male dancer in the company, was an honor student at Harvard and people often express surprise that he should have become a dancer. Family tradition was on his side, however. An uncle was a soft shoe dancer in minstrel shows. The young man from Trinidad, Colo began his danc ing earner in ballet and was a featured dancer with the Ameri can Ballet The only member of this American trained company who studied abroad, he worked for a period with Harold Kreutz berg. One of the youngest composers in the lield has been chosen to wield a baton over the orchestra which will accompany Martha Graham and her company. The conductor will be Irwin Hoff- Betty Carlson Ag Goddess At Curtis Show Betty Carlson whose home is on a wheat ranch near Potter, reigned Wednesday night as god dess of the Junior Ak-Sar-Ben stock show held at the Univer sity of Nebraska School of Agri culture at Curtis. .

I Prof Writes Political Science Textbook With Nov Approach "There never has been this ap proach in classes for international relations," Professor Norman Hill stated of his recently published class text, "International Rela tions." Professor Hill is professor of international law and relations. The book is almost entirely documents in original wording and selected extracts from many sources with introductory ma terial by Professor Hill for each selection. "Documents are a primary source and the idea i.s to send the students to the sources," Hill explained. This way the student will get a first hand account of the problems, he said. Other Opinions. "Students too often have to rely on someone else's say-so," Hill said. The student is able to form his own opinion, the political science professor said, but added that the numerous extracts included in the book are intended to give all : presently being revised by Prof points of view. ; essor Hill and Carl Schneider of Professor Hill was assisted i the University faculty. man, who, though only 25, has already achieved an "enviable" record.

The banquet, sponsored by the Religious ' Welfare council, Ne braska University Council of World Affairs and Cosmopolitan club was given as an impetus to the forthcoming United Nations model general assembly this month. A meal of Ukrainian foods was served to the students attending the banquet. It was prepared by Ukrainian cooks. Three main courses were served borstch, vareniky and kompot. The stu dents determined for themselves what was the English equivalent to these foods. Last fall's meal consisted of an Afganistan dish for the main course, a French salad, Oriental tea and an international desert of ice cream. Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, acting as master of ceremonies, introduced the program of international acts. Continued on Pace 4 i Big? Student Government Meet to Review Problems AWS Interviews Set for Saturday University women who have filed " for positions on the As sociated Women Students board will be interviewed on Saturday, March 4. All of the interviews will be held at Ellen Smith Hall. The schedule for interviewing runs as follows: Last names A to M from 8 to 10 a.m. Last names N to R from 10 to 12 a.m. Last names S to Z from 1 to 2 p.m. All those who have filed for these positions should be pre sent at this time. If it should be come impossible for some one to be interviewed on this day, AWS will still consider them. It is important, however, that most hopefuls be present at their scheduled time in order that things may run efficiently. Caution Weary CampusDrivers Give Pointers An Oklahoma City Campus writer has a few pointers for the college student with a jalopy or '50 Buick Roadmaster. 1. If you've been hitting 50 on the street, boop it up to 60 when you turn in the campus drive. This is the best way to catch a few of the less wary and more sleepy members of the student body. The frantic way they scat ter will make your whole day pleasnnter. 2. As you drive down to find a parking place, you'll also have a few opportunities to clip some of those who are trying to cross the drive. Many of these will try to blutl, walking across in front of you with an air of as surance. 3. These really make the best targets, and if your motor has any pickup at all, you ought to average three out of every five. (Editors Notice: Do not hit any gals; there is barely enough to go around as it is.) 3. When parking your car, take time to put a few dents in the cars already parked. The best way to do this is to try parking your own car with your eyes shut. Better yet, leave your car in gear, get out, and see if it can park itself. 4. On leaving the campus, take the wrong drive out and scare the living lights out of somebody trying to drive in. This takes only a few extra moments and is well worth the effort. Many of the incoming drivers will stop so suddenly that they will smack their skulls up against the wind shield. 5. Take a short-cut thru the walk from the library to the Mueller tower. However, don't go against the student rush as the car might incure minor dam ages. Boswell Voted . To r air Board Alice Eoswell will take over i secretary's post lor the 1950 I Farmers Fair Board.

The presentation of the six Cornhusker beauty queens will be the highlight of the evening, said Junior class president Herb Reese, and a "unique presenta tion has been planned." He add ed that "no announcement of the names of the queens will be made before the prom." Prom Budget In discussing the budget of the Council in handling the Prom, Bill Dugan, class treas urer, reported on organizations that have been contacted to un derwrite finances for the event. Of those contacted, said Dugan, "the University of Nebraska Builders and Inter-Fraternity Council have made commitments for finance."

Agenda The agenda drawn up includes: Structure of student govern ment, including financing, rep resentation, elections, and cam paigns; all university dance band prices and contracts; in- interna- t i o n a 1 ex change of stu dents; fresh man orienta tion; inter student rela tions, migra t i o n s and plans for Big Seven govern ment confer ences; Nation a 1 S t u dents associa- Howard tion; and student-faculty rela tions, including problems of scho larship and examination proced ure. Commenting on the conference Roz Howard, president of the Student Council, said, "In recent years the Big Seven conference has come into national promi nence because of its athletic and other notable achievements. Our Student Council believes that it is high time we got together as a conference and talked over some of our common problems. It is felt that this conference of Student Council's will establish a closer working relationship be tween schools of this conference who face similar situations. Much to Gain "Also looking at this matter from the selfish point of view," continued Howard, "the Univer sity has a great deal to gain from participation in the conference. At present our own council is trying to decide what type and structure of student government will work out most successfully. To be sure other schools in the conference, have ideas which we will do well to consider. In all probability the results of this conference will have an effect on our future Council constitu tion. "To my knowledge this is the first convention of this type in the conference. I sincerely hope it will not be the last," contin ued Howard. NU Problems Shirley Allen said, "I hope we will benefit from discussions on elections and representation par ticularly, because I feel that it is a major problem facing our own Council." The planning committee of the convention is composed of Stu dent Council members Shirley Allen, Norma Chubbuck, and Robert Raun. Students attending the meet ing will be housed in University fraternity and sorority houses and other organized houses. Plans for Saturday include meetings in the morning, begin ning at 9. and a dinner at the Union in the evening after which the delegates will attend the Col orado basketball game.
