Lou Pagliaro, winner of the
singles crown for three consecu
tive years, has been making sev
eral exhibitions thruout the
country and has agreed to play
a match at the university.
Pagliaro, a long-range tour
traveler, made a U-S.O. tour
during the war which took him
thru South America, Central
Africa, North Africa, Casablanca
and the Azores.
The exhibition includes a spe-'
cial trick shot routine which
Pagliaro has devised to please
audiences. Part of the perform
ance requires, a .long distance
service from a point 50 feet
away from the table at a 45
degree angle, and around posts.

Dean Lambert after hearing fac-
ulty opinions on the Farmers Fair
open house. , The poll survey
showed that lack of student sup
port and cooperation in past years
was one of the chief deterrents to
the open house.
Farmers To Get
Seedling Trees
About one million seedlings of
Clarke-McNary trees will be
shipped to Nebraska farmers and

That was the announcement

Spring Hopes
"Though April showers may
come your way
They bring the flowers that
bloom In May." .
The popular song has become
almost classic for its philoso
phical attitude toward the rainy
month.
According to the lyrics, it
ought to be easy to face a drizzle
"without regrets." Lincoln resi
dents, however, couldn't see any
violets connected with the heavy,
wet snow that fell steadily dur
ing most of Monday morning
and afternoon.
As a matter of fact, they had
trouble connecting the weighty
flakes with anything in partic
ular, except to return to win
ter. Complainers Cold
Pessimists shivered in the
raincoats that had seemed ade
quate when they left home early
in the morning.
"This stuff might not have
been so bad in February, but . . ."
they muttered.
Even the most optimistic souls
could find nothing more cheer
ing about the moisture than that
it would be goo for farm lands.
And Mr. Average Citizen,
whether joe college or city of
Lincoln, recounted to his friends
over the coffee cups the uncom

Sunday Program
At Union Changed
A varied series of Sunday eve
ning programs has been planned
by the Union general entertain
ment committee to replace the
regularly featured movies which
were shown at that time.
The change from the pre
viously planned calendar of
events which provided for a
movie every Sunday night for
the remaining part of the semes
ter, was due to a decrease, in
the ' Union ? budget permitting
fewer films to be rented.
On the Union's present tenta
tive program are three different
programs slated for the near fu
ture. . , .' ;
This includes an experimental
theatre play to be given April 16,
at 7:30 p. m., a University radio
department broadcast, April 23,
7:30 p.-in. and the concert to be
presented by Joseph Cech, April
30 at 4 p. m.
The latter program features
music 'by a pianist, who is the
brother of Henry Cech, Husker
basketball star.
The Union committee will
make a. later announcement pro
viding more information regard
ing the programs. -. ; :
Flesher, Aides Installed
As '50 Officers of Group
The independent students have a job to do, T. J.
Thompson, dean of Student Affairs, told the newly initiated
officers of the Independent Students Association Monday
night.
Thompson praised the efforts of the ISA to establish
an intramural sports program for
all independent students. Another
thing that should be stressed,"
Thompson said, "is the social
program."
"I think that I speak for the
faculty when I say that I am de
lighted with what you are trying
to do," Thompson said, "Natural
ly you can't interest all the stu
dents in your program. When
you show that you have and set
up a good program, the authority
on the campus will come to the
independents."
Extra Currlcular Work
Thompson said that he be
lieved that a University meant
not only education in classrooms,
but also participation in extra
curricular activities.
"I pledge to you my undaunted
support, wherever and whenever
I can help," Thompson said.
"I very much appreciate the
great strides that you have ma,de
since a year ago." .
Thompson urged that the of
fice contact the junior division
and guidance offices so that they
might aid in bringing students
who are not now in activities, to
the ISA, Thompson said that the
ISA should endeavor to help all
students on the campus.
ISA Helps
Thompson mentioned a letter
which he received from a parent,
following a letter to the parent
concerning her son's poor scholar
ship. The parent stated that the
letter was the first that she had
five'r received in the two years
her son had gone to college about
any part of her son's campus
activities.
"The campus needs an organ
ization to help such a student,"
Thompson said.
There are many like this stu
dent, Thompson said. He said
that ISA could do much for stu
dents who are not in activities as
far as social affairs are con
cerned. "I am very anxious that the
independents make themselves
felt in any governing body sit the
University," he said.
He praised the plans of the
ISA to send out invitations to
join the group to all of the in
coming freshmen on the campus.
The ISA recently adopted a
new constitution which provides
that all independent students
would be considered members of
ISA. Active memberships would
be sold for special events, but
any independent would be eligi
ble to take part in any phase of
the sports or social program.
Officers installed at the Mon
day night meeting were: Doa
Flesher, president; Jim Tomasek,
vice-president; Nancy Koehler,
recording secretary; Dennis Mit
chem, treasurer; Darlene Imig,
corresponding secretary; Richard
Bennett, publicity chairman;
Melvin Bates, social chairman;
and Earl Moore, i intramural
sports director. ' , .
