FALSE CEILING One of the accomplishments of this year's Ac
Exec board was the purchasing of cables for lights and decorations
for the College Activities ballroom. By using the cables it is pos
sible to create the effect of a false ceiling, making it easier to
decorate the ballroom. The equipment is available to anv As
organization for use in the building. This scene was at the Farm
ers fair barbecue. The decorations were used primarily for the
Cotton and Denim dance. (Photo by Bob Sherwood)
Two Nominated
For 4Rag' Honor
Two nominations were re
ceived Monday at The Daily Ne
braskan office for the title of
outstanding faculty member and
student.
Sue Allen was nominated for
the honor of the outstanding stu
dent, and Don Lentz, for the
position of outstanding faculty
member.
Miss Allen was cited as mak
ing the greatest contribution to
flie campus in the terms "of im
portant issue, in the sense of
making material, permanent ad
ditions to the intellectual and
cultural life of the campus and
in the way of doing something
positive that actually had con
crete results for students, fac
ulty, townspeople."
Model Assembly
"Sue's Model Assembly of the
UN was byMar the greatest con
tribution of the year," stated the
person nominating her. "It took
long hours of planning and ex
ecution and dirty work, from
30 phone calls day to mimeo
graphing several hundred me
moranda," continued the ac
count. "I have never before been so
overwhelmingly impressed with
the drive and industry of one
person as I was with Sue Allen
at the time of the conference,"
said the letter.
In the nomination was ex-
'Dear Brutus'
To
Help
Brill"
DP lo U.S.
"Dear Brutus," a comedy by
Sir James liarrie will be pre
sented Friday, May 19 at 8 p. m.
in Grace Methodist church to
help bring a displaced person
student to the United States.
Sponsored by the Wesley
Foundation, the proceeds from
the play will go into a fund be
ing raised to help finance a stu
dent from northern Europe to
study in the United States. The
play is a part of a campaign by
five Methodist student groups to
raise $1,200 for the fund. It is
one of several money raising
projects being carried out this
spring.
The play, which is being di
rected by a University student,
Frank Wright, will feature in the
cast five University students.
Robert Andersen, Wallace Palm
er, Joan Jones, Mary Lou Carr,
and Aileen Kemes will make up
the cast along with' several stu
dents from Wesleyan university.
Comedy of Words
Though the play is billed as a
comedy, it is really only a
comedy of words, since the char
acters are tragic, according to
director Frank Wright.
The play centers around a
group of people who are invited
to spend a weekend in the home
of an eccentric old man. In the
second act, a fantasy takes over
when a mysterious wood appears ,
Tiear the home of the old man. ;
Each character is given a second
"chance" and the tragedy arises
when each fails to take advan-,
tage of it
Admission price to the play is
25 cents.
Ag Coed Plans
Belgium Study
Jo Ann Skucius, recently se
lected as Nebraska representa
tive to Europe tinder the Inter
national Farm Yiuth Exchange
project will spend the summer
in Belgium. She is a freshman
t Ag college.
She is scheduled to be in
Washington, D, C, on June 6 for
a briefing on Belgium. She will
leave by plane for London on
June 11. A reception for the 50
farm youth delegates is slated
there on June 12. She will then
go to Belgium. She has been
studying French by the record
method.
A 23-year-old English girl is
to be Miss Skucius' counterpart
In Nebraska. Miss Alison Reid
from Northumberland, England,
is due in the United States on
June 10. Sr:e will be in Nebraska,
July Si to August 27,
plained the increased program
that has in the YW since she
has become president She is
active in NUCWA, Cosmo club
and other activities on campus
the report continued.
In conclusion, the recom
mendation read:
"If we want one who is truly
outstanding, who has made a
real contribution where it counts,
headlines (though the Assembly,
product of her work, was re
ported and praised all over the
country, in the New York Times,
at Lake Success, and elsewhere),
one who truly deserves the recog
nition, then I suggest we follow
the lead of Chancellor Gustav
son, Ralph Bunche and the en
tire Model Assembly in giving
Sue the title she earned out
standing." Honorary Innocent
Lentz, the first nominee for
the title of the outstanding fac
ulty member, has been director
of the Cornhusker ROTC march
ing and symphonic bands since
1937, and was the first Innocent
honorary member to be tapped
on Iv? Day since 1946.
The nomination cites the tire
less work the director has done
to promote student interest in
the bands, and the efforts to
improve school spirit at the foot
ball games by the participation
of the band.
During the half time cere
monies, the director formed end
less formations representative of
the particular game that day to
help promote spirit He inau
gurated the playing of the "Star
Spangle Banner," before the
game this year, with half the
band facing each stand s that
the entire stadium could hear
the music.
"Hundreds of time I've cringed
when the band spread out for
a display. Somehow, each time
the members have returned to
formation with nary a misstep..1
This often rates more cheers than
a touchdown run," continued the
recommendation.
Interest In Students . I
Because of his deep interest
in students m general, Lentz
travels, about twice a week, to
high schools throughout the
state to advise, help with direc
tion or serve as a guest conduc
tor.
Besides this work nd his Uni
versity duties. Lentz is the au
thor of a well-known work on
the teaching of the bassoon and
has composed and arranged sev
eral band selections that are
used by bands in Nebraska.
Not only does he teach, ar
range find write music, but he
is an accomplished flutist. As
an artist he played flute in sev
eral of the leading symphonies,
including the New York Sym
phony and the Walter Damrisch
orchestra in New YorK.
Not only do we recognize this
man." states the report, "but so
does' the University faculty and
alumni as witnessed by his se
lection for honorary member
ship to the Innocents society. In
this selection, he was cited for
the honor because of "his de
velopment of outstanding bands
and for his interest in students.' "
Nominations close at 2 p. m.

The mystery play first won
popular acclaim from Broadway
goers, and was later made into a
motion picture with Anne Bax
ter in the' lead role.
Suspense of the play builds

Evelyn. Mr. and Mrs. Proctor,
with the aid of their youngster,
Lee, are living a happy, peace
ful life until a visitor arrives.
She is Mrs. Proctor's cousin.
Evelyn.
Terror of Birds.
Becau of heart trouble, the
cousin must be treated as an in
valid. She has a psychological
terror of birds, and plays "Liebe
straum" continually in her room.
With all this, the family
household undergoes a decided
change. It is traced to the neu-
' rotic Evelyn. When the audience
begins to realize that the girl is
capable of using any means to
accomplish her own end, tension
gradually mounts.
Although the ending may come
as a surprise, Whittaker believes
that Evelyn has received her
"just reward."
Prompter for the play is Wes
Jensby. Dave Sisler is lighting
manager. On his committee are:
John Mcllvoy and Dick Raching.

Make-up manager is Dick
