Whenever There' s a Mailbox .
Extension Division Boasts
Widespread Proxy Classes
BY TOM RISCHE
"Wherever there is a mailbox,
the University can have a class
room." ,
That, in 'he Words of Chan
cellor R. G. Gustavson, is the
aim of the University's Exten
sion division. The division has
charge of evening classes and all
extension courses.
People enrolled in the exten
sion courses include University
students, teachers taking addi
tional credit courses, and work
in people, as well as students in
other colleges and universities
who wish t6 take courses not
offered there. ,
For instances, a student whose
application had been accepted
for the Veterinary school at Kan
sas university di5covered that he
lacked three hours required for
entrance there. He was able,
through the extension division to
take the course that he needed.
Extension Syllabns
When a student enrolls in an
extension course, he receives a
syllabus, lesson materials and di
rections for study. He has to buy
his books, although the Univer
sity has a lending library- which
it is attempting to expand.
As the student does his les
sons, he mails them to the ex
tension division, which in turn
forwards them to the instructor.
The instructor checks the papers
em returns them with sugges
tions. Each lesson receives indi
vidual attention.
To take tests, students are re-qui-ed
either to come to the
extension office for supervision,

Four deserving thespians will
be the recipient of the new and
original "Oscars' to be presented
by the University theatre at the
Masquers awards banquet on
May 20 at the Continental cafe.
These awards, which are given
to the season's best actresses and
actors, will replace the tradition
al trophy for outstanding work.
This innovation was conceived
when theatre officials decided it
was necessary to. have an award
which would be more expressive
of the nature of dramatic awards.
Students of Mrs. Nash's sculp
turing class fashioned a dozen
models for the award. Harola
Roberts model was chosen as the
base for the bronze statue which
is symblematic of theatrical
achievement.
Four Awards. ,
The four awards will be given
to the' 'Best Actor," "Best Ac
tress," "Best Supporting Actor
and "Best Supporting Actress.''
Initiates of the orders of Ne
braska Masquer and Purple
Mask will be announced. In ad
dition, other awards to students
who have been outstanding in
dramatic work will be made.

'Dean of Housemothers' at NU

The story of the dean of Ne
braska House mothers, is the
story of a tradition. Mother
Brown, who has been chaperon
ing the boys of Acacia fraternity
since 1913, still maintains, "Boys
are the salt of the earth."
Mother Brown, or more for
mally Mrs. W, A. Brown, was
the honored guest at the Acacia
spring formal. A rpecial feature
of the evening for Mother Brown
was the corsage presented to her
It was a lei of pink carnations
flown from Hawaii via Pan
American air express. ' Don
Chang, whd was originally fron
Hawaii, made arrangements for
the lei that Mother Brown wore
with her black lace dinner dress.
First Fraternity Housemother
Holding the distinction of be
ing the first housemother of any
fraternity on the Nebraska cam
pus. Mother Brown, said that al
through, she had been to many
parties, she had never been pre
sented with a lei. '
Her home town is Lincoln, and
her son, who graduated from Ne
braska in 1914, makes his home
in California. He was an Acacia
while at Nebraska.
In recalling her years of chap- i
eroning Mother Brown was quick I
to mention the football gamer j
she attended. "Ed Weir was one
of my boys, and I almost always
had a boy on the team." she said
Changes in School
Mother Brown has naturally
seen many changes in Acacia
and the school in general She
watched over her boys in three
different houses through the
years ,and came back to them
again after the reactivating of
the fraternity following the war
years.
With some of the other house
mothers Mother Brown helped
organize the Chaperon's Club.
She said that it was kind of out
of her life now. however, since
many of her old friends sire no
longer here.
Plans for the future? Mother
Brown will be content to take
care of her boys as long as they
need her.
