CHARLES VEYS Engineer's
Week co-chairman for civil
engineers.
Civil ' Engineers. He also holds
the office of secretary of Sigma
Tau and secretary-treasurer of
Mid-Continent Conference of
ASCE.
Past experience in the engi
neering field helped Veys decide
to study the profession. He
worked as a consulting engineer
during 1940, 1941, and 1946.
Since 1947 he has worked part
time on highway planning for
the state highway department.
His plans for work following
graduation include work as a
consulting Engineer.
Photogrammetry
Ray Kelsey, a senior civil en
gineering student, plans to go
into photogrammetry work upon
graduation. Photogrammetry is
the art of obtaining surveys by
means of photography.
Part time work with the soil
conservation service of the U. S.
department of agriculture is
done by Kelsey during his school
year.
Kelsey's previous work in en
gineer's weeks includes being in
charge of the soil conservation
display in 1949. Kelsey is a

stage construction, ticket sales,
publicity, and other duties.
Originally 24 workers were
pledged by the organisation.
First Major Change
If the spring show is an en
tirely different type of show
compared with past shows, it will
be the first major change the
Klub has made since its origin
in 1912.
In the fall show, competition
among the fraternities was held
for the best skits which were
limited to a certain number.
Founded by six male under
graduate students at NU in 1911,
the Klub's purpose was intended
to offer student talent for stu
dent entertainment.
38 Years in Operation
Kosmet Klub is the only known
organization of its kind in this
part of the country and re
portedly has but one counterpart,
the Mask and Wig of Harvard.
The organization has functioned
continually with the exception
of interruptions caused by the
two World wars.
Although women participation
has never been permitted, one
woman always manages to share
the spotlight during the fall
show. It is then that a coed is
presented as "Nebraska Sweet
heart" to reign over the event
with "Prince Kosmet."
Last year, the spring show fea
tured a musical, "Let's Change
the Subject," written by Jack
Solomon, who recently appeared
with Rodney Lindwall in a de
bate against two Scottish op
ponents. It highlighted varsity football
ers as nurses and a line of all
male harem cuties and the or
chestra of Johnny Cox.

THE DAILY NEBRASKA
Chemist
To Address
ACS Meeting
Two talks -ere scheduled for
today for Dr. Wallace R. Brode
associate director of the National
Bureau of Standards. ,
Dr. Brode will address a meet
ing of the Nebraska Section of
the American Chemical society
Thursday at 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
in the .. auditorium of Avery
laboratory. His afternoon ad
dress will be a discussion of the
structural and steric hindrance
effects, on the absorption spectra
of azo dyes. Although the pub
lic is welcome to both lectures,
Henry F. Holtzclaw, jr., secretary
of the Nebraska section, points
out mat the afternoon address is
"highly technical and concerns
mostly staff members and gradu
ate students. The evening dis
cussion is , more general," he
continued.
Evening Address "
The evening address will be
on chemical research and facili
ties at the National Bureau of
Standards. Dr. Brode will discuss
the chemically important func
tions of the various divisions of
the bureau which may serve to
emphasize the position occupied
by the . bureau in sei ving the
nation's scientific needs.
The Discussion will cover work
of the bureau divisions which
are principally chemical in in
terest, such as the chemistry,
metallurgy, mineral products and
organic and fibrous materials
divisions. Other important phases
of the physical and engineering
uivimuii wm oe included.
Studied in Europe
The speaker was graduated
from the Whitman college, Walla
j a widowed seamstress, a physi
cian, a Methodist minister, a
young surgeon, and a German
Catholic priest.
Literary critics have labeled
the Dook "the best reporting to
come out of the last war." When
published, it immediately be
came a best seller.
Gaylord Marr will direct the
shown. Technical producers will
be Jim and Jess Krump.
According to Marr, the pro
ducing of Hershey's book on the
radio will not be censored or de
leted in any way.
"A great idea has been written
about how the atomic bomb
works. John Hershey, in his book
brings out the destructive quali
ty of atomic blasts. The bomb
has become a moral isse in the
world today, and is a timely
topic with which all peoples are
concerned," commented Marr.
The radio department, in
readying -the show, consulted
with Alfred Knopf, publisher of
"Hiroshima," for permission to
produce the book on the air.

Numerous Census Queries
Cause Campus
. By Jerry Bailey
Confusion and red 1 tape de
scended on the thousands of
University students who are not
Lincoln residents early this
week, in the form of the In
dividual Census report. Form
P-2. , .
The opening paragraphs de
ceptively begin- "The census
taker was not able to obtain
from you personally the infor
mation required by this census.
Please fill out the questions on
this form as soon as you can.
It should take only a few min
utes of your time . . ."
All evidence is to the con
trary; nothing so involved could
be disposed of in a few mere

berships paid, and had collected
about $6,000 which enabled us
to rent, remodel and equip two
floors of a building near tne
center of the city.
Volunteer amateur and pro
fessional talent enabled us to in
augurate a full-time program of
activities, including musical and
dramatic programs, lectures and
appropriate social activities."
Interracial Center
Before Randall left Africa, the
mission group with which he was
working had made plans for the
establishment of a conference
center where representatives, es
pecially young people of different
races could gather. Twice the
group organized interracial work
camp groups of young people.
Randal was born in Nebraska
and was educated at Nebraska
university.
Walla, Wash., in 1921 and re
ceived his Ph.D. degree in or
ganic chemistry at the Univer
sity of Illinois in 1925. After two
years at the National Bureau of
Standards, he went to Europe on
Lruggenh'nm Foundation Fel
lowship to study at Leipzig,
Zurich and Liverpool. From 1928
to his recent change to the stand
ards bureau, he served as pro
fessor of chemistry at Ohio State
university.
During part of World war II,
Dr. Brode served as head of the
Paris office of the Office of
Scientific Research and Develop
ment and a; head of the Science
Department of thd Naval C.d
nance test station.
Speaking Tour
Dr. Brode, who is author and
co-author of a umber of ref
erence books and manuals, is
cencing to Lincoln on an exten
sive sneaking tour to American
Chemical Society sections in
seven states.
He is a member of the Board
of Directors of the Optical So
ciety of America and is the new
editor of the Journal of that
organization. "
A dinner in honor of the
speaker and his wife will be held
at 5:45 p. m. Thursday in the
Food and Nutrition building on
Ag campus. Section members and
their wives are invited to attend.
Confusion
minutes. Such is the opinion of
some students found wandering
in a dazed condition.
, Medicos of the Student Health
psycho ward are rumored to
have named the daze "delerium
cencusi" or "the . D.C.'s."
28 Questions
Intensive research into the
nature of Census report. Form
P-2, reveals that it includes 28
questions, with 33 blanks and 76
boxes to fill out.
The first question is harmless,
merely asking, "What is your
name?" The second is dynamite.
It goes) "Where do you usually
live? Here? Check this box if
you usually live in this house or
if vou have no usual place of
residence. Some place else?
Check this box if you usually
live someplace else. Enter ad
dress below ..."
Instructions issued at all
houses and dormitories were
that students from out of town
and out of state were to count
themselves residents of Lincoln
A majority meekly recorded
that their permanent residence
was .Lincoln. A few die-hards
defiantly insisted that they still
were citizens of Rock Bottom
Wyo.: Bowlegs. Okla.: Hick's
Bend, Kas; or other localities.
How Lincoln feels about the ac
quisition of these new "perm
anent" resident, has not been
determined as yet.
Relationships
Question 3 asks, "What is your
relationship to the head of the
house?" The stock answer, of
course, is "husband." Question
4 and 5 were easily answered.
Query 6 (age?) was considered
impertinent by eny . co-ed over
the rank of freshman.
The next few questions deal
with one's citizenship, parent
age, and other items. Answers
to questions 12-14 (education)
has reportedly led to a govern
ment recommendation that Dean
Rosenlof's office check certain
University students' credits from
kindergarten.
Item 15 boldly asks, "What
were you doing last week?"
Certain circles believe that one
was inspired by the house
housemothers' lobby in Wash
ington, D. C
Have You Worked?
Numbers 16 to 22 ask such
dilly's as. "Did you work?" and.
"Did you earn any money?"
The questionnaire finally asks
plaintively,- "Did you do any
work at all last year?"
Pointed questions are asked
about how one has earned
money, leading to some calls of
"Where do I enter poker win
nings?" and "Do I have to tell
what I made selling exam ques
tions?" Blanks 23 and 24 deal with
service records and military
service, of interest to G.I.'s only.
The Individual Census report.
Form P-2, ends on an exciting
note with a flurry of questions
about marital status. The dazed
student can only breathe a prayer
of thanks that the census comes
but once in ten years.
