Said Director Whittaker, "The suspense of the play is hastened as the audience begins to realize that this girl is capable oi using any means to achieve her own desire. The climax of the play comes as a shock but we feel that Evelyn has achieved her just re ward." , , , - Whittaker stated that this play will be the first ever to be pre sented by freshmen at the Uni versity.

The proposal was made by Rod Lindwall and calls for one house to be made up of representatives elected from colleges, and the second housa to be formd from representatives from campus or ganizations. In support of the proposal, Gen Berg commented, "Under a two house system much more could be done. I'm getting tired of hearing talk about time, the important thfng is to have a good constitution." He then moved that discussion on the committee plan be tabled and a committee ap pointed to look into the possi bilities of a two-house system of government. The motion was passed and the following committee appointed; Rod Lindwall, Gene Berg, Ginny Guhln, and Louise McDilL Ffoyes Foundation Offers 25 Grants " University authorities an nounced Wednesday that be tween 20 and 25 scholarships valid for the school year begin ning September 1 will be avail able for blood descendants of World War I veterans.

Recommendations The two men, partly on the basis of the opinions of the gen eral public who saw the show and on the opinions of the Unl versity art department staff, made the recommendations for the purchases. These recommen dations must still be approved by the University Board of Re gents. Many show spectators were surprised that nearly all of the eleven acquisitions were of con temporary style some even ab stractions. In response to this Dwight Kirsch, director of the Morrill hall art galleries explains: "Some of the works which were bought this year are a departure from the general trend of the Hall collection. The things bought this year must be looked at in relation to works already con tained in the permanent collec tion. The new purchases will be extremely valuable as teaching material." Purchases "What is unusual about the re sults of the 1950 show is the amount of purchases made from it for private collections. Ne braskans bought over $7,000 worth of paintings this year as compared to $1,200 last year. It is also interesting to notu that some of tnese purchases were made by University students who are just beginning to col lect," commented Kirsch.

Rivarly Reborn At California ZJ. The Senior Peace committee at the University of California has decided to renew an old tradi tion and re-establish interclass rivalry by painting a huge "50" on Cyclotron hill, just below the big "C." This practice was traditionally a part of Charter Day festivities until it was discontinued in the early 1900's. In those days, class warfare on the side of the hill was a tradition, the senior class usually winning out. Now, entrusted with keeping up class spirit, the Senior Peace committee decided to renew the rivalry between classes and put their numerals on the hill. After clearing n snace for the num erals, measuring 32 by 52 feet each, they started spreadmg the lime. Three hours later, the huge "50" was there for everyone to see evidence of the senior class triumph over the terrain. Honors Convo .. .

Six months later the International News Service employed him and assigned him to a post in Rome. In 1940 he changed to radio commentating where he has since worked. He is the author of "Suez to Singapore," the wartime best seller novel, and has contributed to Collier's, Herders Digest and other magazines. Male drivers In 1949 were in volved in more than 90 percent of all U. S. automobile accidents. You are more than four times as likely to be killed In an auto mobile accident between seven and eight in the evening as you are between seven and eight in the morning. trait "Head of John Marin" has been regarded by many as one of the greatest portrait sculp tures of this century. The piece was modeled in clay and cast in bronze. Marino Marini's "Horseman," another bronze, is an imaginative piece of casting done by an Ital ian sculptor in a Chinese style. Marini now has his own show in New York City. "Adam" by William Zorach is carved from a mottled pink and gray granite boulder from Maine where Zorach works each sum mer. Zorach h one of the best known American sculptors. Abstract in Oil The abstract oil painting "Mediterranean Landscape" by John Heliker was done during a trip by the artist to Europe last year. "The Desert." an oil of a Texan landscape proved popv.lar with show visitors, especially the school children. The painter, Everett Spruce, achieved the warm colors by painting with rich juicy pigments straight from the tube. Theodores S t a m o s "Scar Thread" is another of the artist's unique abstractions painted on the basis of some experience. At 27, Stamos is well on the road to fame as a contemporary American artist. Mark Tobey's '"Icon," though reminiscent of finger painting, is an abstract scene done in Tobey's distinctive style calligraphic white lines superimposed on a low-keyed paint surface. "Draped Reclinging Figures" is a page from the sketchbook of the artist, European Henry Moore. It shows 12 misshapen figures arranged like a wallpaper pattern on the shaded back ground. Paul Klee, whose famous Bauhaus school of art had such a tremendous influence on mod ern art and industrial design, did ' Seeking Balance" in ink and water color. Acquisitions One etching and one lithograph are included in the print acquisi tions. Of historical significance is John Sloan's "Memories," which shows a family scene dated 1906. It is an etching. , The lithograph was done by a famous Mexican artist, Jose Clemente Orosco. "La Bandera" is a strongly patterned illusion reminiscent of some of Goya's war etchings. The Hall bequests provide, from income on the principle, enough funds to add each year, selections from the Nebraska art association's show. The bequest was left the University in 1930 by Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Hall. "General unsolicited comments indicate that this year's show is one of the best of recent years. The people who saw it seemed to get a lot out of it," stated Kirsch. The University art faculty pro vided gallery talks throughout the duration of the show for in terested groups who attended. Students from Doane college made the trip to Lincoln as dir. a group of art students frcn Hastings college. Neiv Word Coined to Explain Teenage Traffic Death Rate The highly disproportionate number of traffic fatalities in volving young drivers in the United States has been respon sible for the coinage of a new word. The word is teenicide, coined by the Lumbermen's Mutual Causalty company in connection with youthful traffic deaths. Because of the growing use of the word in newspapers and magazines, Funk and Wagnalls will include the following defini tion in the next supplement of their dictionary: "Teenicide (noun) 1. Death caused by automobile driver under 20 years of age, usually the result of recklessness or im mature judgment; 2. A term used to denote fact that persons under 20 years of age, are involved in a disproportionately high number of fatalities in the United States." It is recognized, however, says the Lumbermen's Mutual, that the driving habits formed in the teens have been carried over into later years. Therefore, the word teenicide by usage includes the action of drivers in the 15 to 24 age group. "Teenicide Report" In view of the increasing prob lem of teenicide, youth leaders, educators, and safety councils are waging a constant war to pre vent the high accident rate of young drivers. Jointly contributing to a "teen icide report" these interested groups have offered a wide va riety of approaches to the youth driver problem. It is the aim of the report to help the nation's youth to become better and safer drivers. Last year the National Safety council reported that of the 37,400 drivers of all ages Involved in fatal accidents, 31 percent of these were in the under 25 age group. In drivers involved in all acci dents 27 per cent of the drivers were in the under 25 age group despite the fact that it contains less than 20 percent of all drivers. "Young drivers are cutting a swath of death and injury out of proportion to their number and to their physical and mental cap abilities," declared Ned Dear born, president of the National Safety council." Contempt of Rules Too many drivers, said the re port, have a dangerous contempt of traffic regulations. These regulations are designed to help the driver, not to hinder him. A complete endorsement by all drivers of traffic controls would eliminate many of the ration's traffic fatalities. Stressing the need for more driver training, Gordon C. Gra ham, supervisor of safety educa- i Tri-K Members To Hold Election Election of officers will be held at the next meeting of Tri-K, agronomy honorary, according to Dale Flowerday, president of the organization. On the agenda for discussion will be the Trt-K contest, schol arship awards, registration, and the banquet. The convocation committee will discuss plans for the convocation. Changes in the constitution, In regard to selection of members will also be made. In addition committees for Farmers Fair concessions and float will be ap pointed. All members are urged to at tend the meeting which will be held in the Horse barn at 7:30 p. m. tonight. Wcrkmcistcr Will Address Coast School Dr. W. H. Werkmeister, head of the philosophy department, has been selected to give the an nual Tully Cloon Knowles Lec ture is at the College of the Pacific, May lb through 19. DR. WERKMEISTER Dr. Werkmeister will speak on "Values In An Age of Crisi?" in his four lectures. The series of speeches at the Stockton, Calif., college corresponds to the Mont gomery Lectures at the Univer sity of Nebraska. According to C. H. Oldfather, dean of the Arts and Science college, Werkmeister is probably the first University professor to be honored with a lectureship. Werkmeister's speeches at the Colleges of the Pacific will be published in book form. Leave of Absence On May 22 and 23, Werkmeister will deliver two similar addresses at the University of California The Board of Regents recently granted Werkmeister a year's leave of absence so that he could serve as a visiting pro the 1950-51 school year. There, he will teach courses in which two of his recent textbooks are ' eing used. The books are "An ntroduction to Critical Think ing" and "A History of Philosophi cal Ideas In America." He will , lso conduct a graduate seminar. tion at Detroit Public schools, declared that such education ef- fects a tremendous reduction in traffic accidents. In Cleveland, Graham said, a study proved that trained driv ers had 50 per cent fewer acci dents than the untrained and Delaware found that trained drivers had one-fourth the acci dents and one-seventh the .traf fic violations. The "learning period" of driv ers is in the teens for the ma jority of people, emphasizing the definite need for early driving education. 150 Optometric Awards Offered The University has been se lected by the Chicago College of Optometry to participate in a scholarship contest which will be open to students of 150 of the best colleges and universities of the country. Each school will be asked to submit four candidate who will be required to take a competitive examination. Only those stu dents who have already complet ed the pre-optometric curriculum, or whose work-in-progress shows that they are completing such work no later than June, 1950, will be permitted to take the examination. Requisite to par ticipation also will be a high scholastic standing. Each scholarship is valued at $1,200 and will cover all fees, tuition and laboratory expenses normally 'incurred during the three years, of professional study. Midland Man Gels National Position William E. Christensen, 23 year old junior student at Mid land college from Columbus, has been elected president of the American Association of International Relations clubs. Christensen was chosen to the office at the third annual con vention of this organization, which comprises -International Relations clubs at more than 600 colleges and universities in the United States. The conven tion was held on the campus of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. The new president will begin his duties at the New York office in September, and will spend tho next nine months organizing and stimulating IRC groups at colleges throughout the country. Three out of four traffic acci dents happen in clear weather on dry roads. Plans Nearing Completion For 1950 Farmers Fair Farmers Fair plans are in the final stages for the event to be held April 28 and 29, according to Don Kncbel, fair manager. Staged annually by Ag College students, features of the 1950 event will include a rodeo, wom en's program, barbecue, parade, midway, and square dance. "A Greater 60" is the theme of this year's fair, saluting the progress expected in the next 50 years or remaining half-century. Farmers Fair neckerchiefs, bright colored scurfs with "Farm ers Fair '50" printed on them, will go on sale next week. The scarfs are made by Amikitas, Ag women's barb group. They will sell for 20 cents at the Ag Union.' The week-end fair will be pre- coded by the traditional Cotton and Denim week when Ag stu dents appear in farmerish garb with whiskers. The Cotton and Denim dance on Friday night. April 28, will open the fair offi cially. The Goddess of Agri culture will be presented at cere monies during the dance and the Whisker King will be chosen to complete the royalty.

After the "Miss University of Utah" has been chosen, she will represent the university at the "Miss Utah" contest which will be held next September. From there, the winner will go to Atlantic Citv for the annual "Miss America" competition. Service Groups Begin Book Drive "Give your old textbooks that there might be a new Europe" is the motto of the campus groups trying to collect a ton of books by June for distribution in Europe. According to the Rev. Rex Knowles, pastor at the Presby terian student house, 383 pounds have already been collected and sent to Church World Service for shipment to depleted libraries in war torn countries. The books sent have been mostly scientific texts. A second shipment ' is to be made from the Presbyterian stu dent house in the near future, according to Knowles, and stu dents and faculty members are asked to drop books for shipment at any of the denominational student houses, the YMCA, or the YWCA. CU Health Fee Increase Asked An increase in Student Health fees from $3.50 to $5 per school quarter has been authorized by the Colorado A & M Student Council. This increase in student health fees is to become effec tive with the fall quarter, 1950, if approved by the State Board of Agriculture. The increase is an effort to place the Student Health Service on a sound financial basis, and to give the students of Colorado A & M previous and additional health services. miLLER'S interprets A Bedtime Story as told in McCall Magazine C ' o r Two-in-One . . .

Weather Stops S tuber's Spring Football Drills AMES, Iowa There may be those that are benefitting from the cool April weather, but it is playing heck with Abe Stuber's plans for contact work for the Iowa State spring football. Able to work outdoors only three times since March 27, Stu ber is behind schedule as far as contact work is concerned for his Cyclones. The former Mos souri star, starting his fourth year as head football coach at Iowa State, had planned "head banging" scrimmage for this week. All that has been shifted into the future pending warm weather. Coach Stuber states that in juries have been numerous thus far in the spring drills. He is afraid that these injuries will be further increased if he attempts to have his squad scrimmage in the cold weather.

Loyalty Oath Under Protest At California U The University of California loyalty oath issue has been un der fire by the faculty and stu dents alike. The oath was put into force by the board of Re Kent who state that the oath must be signed by April 30. The Daily California, official U.C. publication, reports that the Associated Students of Univer sity of California called a pro test meeting recently to comDlain about the Regents' loyalty oath. Members of the U.Cj. faculty have also held meetings to dis cuss the loyalty oath. Members were m favor, the Daily Cali fornian reports, of defending non-signers of the Communist loyalty pledge. The members then declared that they would aetena only non-Communist non-signers. An editorial in the Daily Cali- fornian states, "In order for a non-signer to get the faculty un der this new policy, he must be a non-Communist. How is this to be determined? The easiest way, of course would be for the non signer to state: 'I am not a Com munist.' Such a statement would, in effect, destroy his status as a non-signer." The Daily Californian stated that the faculty might request an injunction from the state su preme court to forbid enforce ment of the "sign or quit order." nother course of action, the paper reports, might be a suit against the Regents filed in the name of one or more non-signers.
