On Ag Problem
After over an hour of ques
tions and answers at the meet
ing Thursday afternoon on the
problem of the Ag Union, it was
unanimously voted to hold an
other meeting as soon as defi
nite figures on finances could
be presented to the student body.
It was generally agreed that
definite information would be
more helpful than the "benefit
of a doubt" figures presented by
Duane Lake, as they were
termed by, a member of the
audience.
Summarizing the discussion
Dean Lambert stated: "What Ag
students want to know is the
future of the Ag Union here
compared to the downtown
Union. The hard figures pro
duced show no possibilities of
change. Ag students want a clear
presentation of facts upon which
to base a solution.
"The problem is a joint Uni
versity job and until everybody
has had a chance to look at facts
and say his say, the job isn't
right."
Lake Gives Figures
Lake, director of the Unions,
presented financial figures to the
group and explained the gov-

'Home of the Brave9 Offers
Tolerance Theme. March 13
Monday night March 13th at
8 p. m., at the Nebraska Theatre,
the University Theatre, in co
operation with UNESCO, Na
tional Brotherhood Week, the
American National Theatre
Academy and the University
Administration, is presenting the
play "Home of the Brave" by
Arthur Laurents.
Thorgh the play is being given
to help promote the spirit of
brotherhood, it is still primarily
entertainment. And as entertain
ment it fulfills its function as a
good evening in theatre. The
play when it was presented on
Broadway ran for a meritorious
150 performances and at the end
of the 1946 Broadway season it
was awarded the highly coveted
Critics' Circle Award.
The play is drama, dealing
with five G.I.'s embroiled within
a special war situation during
the recent war. The core of the
drama revolves about one Pfc.
Peter Coen, a Jew, and his diffi
culties in adjusting himself to
the war situation.
Mental Relapse
Under the strain of the war
situation and the Jew-baiting
tactics of one of his fellow sol
diers, "Coney" breaks. And it is
the attempts of the Army psy
chiatric, aided by the layman
wisdom of an army sergeant that
makes up the resolution of the
problem.
The present production was
presented in Experimental Thea
tre several months ago and was
most enthusiastically received by
a limited audience. The present
production can accomodate some
1300 people.
The production technically will
depend on realistic costuming
and the realistic use of weapons
and other army equipment. The
setting will be impressionistic
highliglited by effective lighting
and musical undertone.
Featured in the production are:
Bill Line as the doctor. Joe
Moore as Sgt. Mingo, Michael
Shaaahaa a Major Robinson,
erning of the two Unions Start
ing the discussion, Don Haml
brought up the question of Ag
fees being paid to support the
downtown Union since 1937.
In answering, Lake pointed
out that these were fees given
to the Ag students minus ex
penses incurred including the
construction ol the present Ag
Union at $38,000, in 1946, the
amount left would not exceed
$5,000.
In determining the amount of
Union fees paid by Ag students
currently, Allen Beam present
ed exact enrollments: 999 stu
dents are enrolled in Ag college
290 women and 709 men.
Joining the heated discussion,
Dean Lambert announced: "I
have definite written agreement
in my office that the Ag Union
was to be temporary for three
years, at which time other ar
rangements were to be made."
Poor Handling
"The problem of expansion
was poorly handled In the be
ginning and thus resulted in the
present opposition. The planning
committee only has plans for
one campus," he added.
Lake agreed that the expan
sion was approached poorly, but
that it was now important to
cope with the situation as it is.
He said the committee knew
there would be opposition.
Fritz Simpson, member of the
expansion committee, stated that
the Ag situation has to be ironed
out before any expansion plans
can be made now.
"So far, the expansion plans
are basic. They include an in
crease in Student Union fees and
ideas on a downtown wing. The
committee knew nothing about
the Ag Union promise until we
found it filed with the Admin
istration," Simpson said.
The proposal for another
meeting was presented by Dr.
Goodding, chairman of the
meeting. He suggested that the
problem be worked out in a
more democratic procedure.
Upon his suggestion, Sonnie
Sawyer put the idea in the form
of a motion which was met with
full approval by the group. No
date was set for the meeting.

Orchestra
Concert Set
For Sunday J
Classics, Humor
Vary Program
"It's the most varied and pre
tentious program we've done,"
conductor Emanuel Wishnow
said about the concert which the
University Symphony orchestra
will play at 4 p. m. Sunday in
the Union ballroom.
Music which will be per
formed, he explained, is repre
sentative of the very precise
works of Mozart, the humorous
writing of Saint-Saens, the im
passionate style of Wagner and
the brilliant compositions of
Berlioz.
"Jupiter" Symphony
One of Mozart's last three
great symphonies, No. 41 (Ju
piter) will be the orchestra's
opening selection. The four
movements are Allegro vivace,
Andante cantabile, Allegretto
(Menuetto) and Molto allegro.
A featured part of the pro
gram will be Saint-Saens sa
tirical collection of short pieces,
"The Carnival of the Animals."
Saint-Saens was a great lover
of animals and used the novel
idea of writing musical carica
tures of them. As an additional
touch of humor, he inrluded a
selection called "Pianists." The
satire of the music teacher and
his pupil is complete even to
wrong notes.
Titles Listed
The 14 imitations composing
the group are entitled "Intro
duction and Royal March of the
Lion," "Hens and Roosters,"
"Wild Asiatic Donkevs," "Tur
tles," "The Elephant," "Kanga
roos," "The Aquarium," "Those
With Long Ears," "The Cuckoo
in the Depth of the Forest,"
"Birds," "Pianists," "Fossils,"
"The Swan" and "Conclusion."
Earnest Harrison and John
Blyth, both school of music fac
ulty members, will play the solo
piano . passages.
Harmonica Needed '
Besides requiring two pianos,
Saint-Saens' score calls for a ;
harmonica. This is not the com
mon mouth organ, but an obso
lete instrument invented by
Benjamin Franklin. It consisted
of a series of glasses in gradu
ated sizes arranged on a spindle,
half submerged in water. The
player touched the wet rims to
produce the sound.
In Sunday's concert Catherine
Elliott will play the harmonica
passages on regular orchestra
bells, using hard rubber ham
mers to make ringing sounds.
Familiar Themes
"The Swan" is undoubtedly
the most familiar of the selec
tions; it is frequently played as
a piano solo. Other well-known
themes occur, however. In "Fos
sils" Saint-Saens uses the bones
motif from "Danse Macabre."
And "Turtles" are represented
by a slow version of the theme
from "Orpheus."
The "Vorspiel and Isoldens
Liebcstod" from "Tristan and
Isolde" is an important orches
tral excerpt. Final selection is
"Roman Carnival Overture" by
Berlioz.
Juniors Needed
All Juniors interested in work
ing on the Junior-Senior Prom
committees, be sure and contact
Betty Green in the Cornhusker
office by Friday afternoon.

Europe's Childern Benefit
From U.S. Aid, Says Expert
Grace Bok Holmes, liaison of
ficer to non-governmental or
ganizations for the United Na
tions International Children's
Emergency Fund, said in a
Thursday press conference that
due to the help of the fund and
to the help of European countries
themselves, European children
who have been receiving aid arc
looking much better than they
were two and one half years ago.
Recently returned from a trip
through nine European countries,
four of which were "eastern"
countries, Mrs. Holmes is also a
member of the UN secretariat.
During her European trip, she
observed feeding operations of
fund.
As liaison officer! Mrs. Holmes
informs non-governmental or
ganizations such as the Associa
tion of University Women, and
business and professional worn
ens clubs, of the work of the
fund. She is to speak Thursday
noon on "The United Nations
Children's Fund, its Program and
Promise." Her hostess is Mrs. Ar- !
thur L. Smith.
Assists l.'.N.
She works with UN representa
tives at various coleges and uni
versities. Frank E. Sorenson, pro
fessor of secondary education, is
the representative here. Mrs.
Holmes has completed visits to
the Universities of Kansas. Okla
homa, Arizona, California, Ne
vada, Oregon, Washington and
YWCA cabinet.
Norma Jean Myers is now
WAA representative to the Stu
dent Council, a member of the
WAA counril and YWCA and has
served on the sports board.
An Ag college Junior, Mary
Hoffmeister is president of the
Badminton club, member of the
sports board and WAA council.
She is also serving on the Home
Ec club council and the Farm
ers Fair board.
A candidate for treasurer,
Marilyn Cropper is a member
of the WAA sports board, treas
urer of the Women's Physicial
Education club, and a member
of the YWCA and Ochesis.
WAA club elections will also
be held on Tuesday. The follow
ing will elect ofluers: Aqua
quettes, r.ailniiiitnn club, Orches
is, Rifle club, and Duckpin club.
Aquaqurttrs Candidates
Margaret Chamberlain and
Ruth Ann Sandstedt are candi
dates for the position of presi
dent of Aquaqyettes. Carol
Calder and Penny Parsons will
vie for the position of secretary.
Candidates for treasurer are Jo j
North Dakota. She will return to
New York from there.
On Thursday afternoon she
will meet with a group of stu
dent leaders who will participate
in the Model UN conference.
Mrs. Holmes emphasized that
people everywhere were inter
ested in children's welfare and
said that the staff of the Fund
can always move freely from
place to place. She said that there
is still a fund representative in
Bulgaria who is a woman from
the United States.
6 Million Fed
She said that approximately 6
million children have been fed
since the origin of the fund. This
has been done in conjunction
with the countries. About fifty
United Nations countries have
contributed to the fund, which
matches appropriations with na
tions needing help.
Mrs. Holmes said the Fund
works with the ministry of
health and maintains a staff of
non-nationals in each country re-
ceiving aid. It does not feed in
either England or Russia.
While on her trip, she said, she
observed that the worst spot in
Europe was in southern Italy.
Mrs. Holmes thinks the faulty
feeding of children there is due
to an internal condition rather
than to the non-matching oi
funds by Ity. There is great
poverty in that section, she said.

Special Settings
When the University Theatre
presents "Once In A Lifetime.''
at the Nebraska Theatre, March
27, 28 and 29, special stage set
ting will be combined with the
efforts of 36 cast members to
produce a comedy-satire on Hol
lywood. According to Director Max
Whittaker, all efforts of both
technical and cast committees
will be directed toward produc
ing "an imitation of the haywire
era of Hollywood talkie movies."
Stage work on the Kaufman
and Hart burlesque is already
well underway and has required
I much planning since such an un
usual atmosphere must be emu
lated.
Equipment Lends Humor
William Ellis, technical direc
tor, stated that stage equipment,
especially the sets, hand proper
ties, and costumes will be used
to lend humor to the show.
Five different sets will be de
signed to facilitate seven fast
changes during the show's pro
gress. Rather unique are the var
ious stage props including a
homemade cactus plant and a
fish pool. Even the cattails and
reeds "growing out of the pool"
are manufactured by the stage
crew.
Wedding Gowns
If you're planning a June wed
ding, then you would be inter
ested in the costume department.
There will actually be a bride's
wedding gown and five brides
maids dresses worn in the play.
"Rapid progress is being made
in rehearsals," stated Whittaker.
