Henzlik Outlines
Citizenship Plan
belief in the positive values of democracy, and to combat
communism and fascism was blueprinted for a group of
civic and educational leaders of Nebraska last week.
The blueprint was presented by Dean Frank E. Henzlik
of the University Teachers College in an address before the
Summer Session's dtizensnip
"The Carnegie Foundation of
New York City is now sponsor
ing a nationwide program to
realize better citizenship in the
community, state and nation by
working through the public
schools in rural and small com
munities," Dean Henzlik said.
"The Teachers College of the
University has been invited to
participate in this Nebraska
Citizenship project by coopera
ting with Nebraska schools and
other educational agencies to
arouse local communities to take
steps on their own to improve the
setting and provisions for citizen
ship and develop an understand
ing and appreciation of the values
of democracy in contrast with
those of communism and facism.
"It can be argued that political
action and freedom is basic to all
other liberties. For purposes of
making a beginning in this pro
ject, therefore, the idea of citizen-i
ship has been narrowed first to
center around "the problem of civic
competence or what we term as
nnlitiral and social citizenship
The question is: How can the large-
majority of the people of a com
munity learn more about how to
take an effective and intelligent
part in making decisions that af
fect them?
"Political liberty or citizenship
has far broader implications than
simply the right to vote and to
choose our representees. Implicit
in the very idea of political demo
rrarv are these concents: First,
that goverment is responsible
directly to the people and gets its
nnwpr onlv bv the consent of the
people; second, that the people as
a whole have the ability ana tne
judgement to conduct their gover
ment more fairly and more effect
ively that any single group,
whether that group be composed
of factory workers, farmers, pro
perty owners, or business men;
and third and last, the people have
the power to construct a gover
ment of their own choosing, fitted
to their own needs.
Hitrh Schools First
Dean Henzlik said to start the
project high school students will
bp used because their reading
ability, more mature minds, and
easier motivation are more readily
adaptable than junior high and
elementary students who will be
included later.
"The basic policy of the project
holds firmly to the principle of
community-adminstered and locally-controlled
educational pro
grams," Dr, Henzlik said. "The
specific methods and material
Used are matters of local choice
and decision. The local schools
design their own programs with
the help of resources made avail
able through this project. In other
words, the final decisions are
made by the local community
schools, board of education, teach
ers and superintendents."
Dean Henzlik said the Univer
sity and the state were selected
as a "pilot state" for the project
because of their outstanding re
cord in this area including such
things as the- Boys State, Girls
State, Boy aiid Girl Scouts, and
the Audio-Visual, Health, Thrift
and Air-Age education programs.
Four Steps
The fourfold steps to be taken
by the Citizenship Project, Dean
Henzlik said, are these:
First: To discover and analyze
the present practices in Citizen
ship ' education revealed among
selected school systems in Nebr
aska, using the 81 high schools in
the Nebraska Cooperative School
starting group.
Second: To formulate plans and
activities for improved programs
in a few carefully selected schools
. which volunteer and are comp
etent to proceed.

'Three Men on a
Union to Show
Masterpiece9
Film July 13
A masterpiece composed of
masterpieces!" is one of the many
praises poured on the film the
Union will show Thursday, July
13 at 8 p.m. in the ballroom.
The movie is "The Titan", the
story of Michelangelo, and is be
ing shown as an added teature 01
the Union summer artists series.
Before being released to the gen
eral public, the film is being
shown in colleges and universities
throughout the country. The fea
ture length film dramatizes the
life and the work of the famous
Renaissance artist against the
"rich and colorful background of
the Italy of the Medicis."
Frederich March narrates the
film which includes some unusual
views of neve r-before-p holo
graphed works, including Miche
angelo's "Last Judgment," and his
ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Other
views of his masterpieces include
"Moses," "D a v i d," "Bachus,"
"Pieta", and the tomb of the Me
dicis. Critics responded with enthus
iasm to the first showing of the
film in New York early this year.
The New York Times said "A film
of incomparable excitement . . .
for all adult movie-goers whose
thoughts would dwell on the glory
of man ... a more imaginative
or expressive cinema effort has
not Deen seen ...ma iuug
Camera art Is one of the most
important parts of the film, as not
a living soul appears on the screen
throughout the production. Yet the
camera work of the Swiss pro
ducer. Curt Oertel, combined with
the conception of the American
producer-director Robert J. Fla
hprtv. have resulted in a film
characterized chiefly by its move
ment. Credit for this photographic
feat goes also to Flaherty's as
sociates Robert Snyder and Ralph
Alswang, and to Richard Lytord
who directed and edited the film
The film also depends heavily
on the musical treatment, which
provides mood music for the va
rious scenes.
The greater part of the film was
made possible through the close
cooperation of the Vatican. Many
of Michelangelo's works are im
movable, and the Italian govern
ment has torbidden any of them
to be sold or transferred out of
Italy.

Summer Theater Conies
To Union July 24 and 25
The cast for the farce
Horse," by John Holm and George, has been announced by
Dallas Williams, director of
play will be presented on Monday and Tuesday, July 24 and
25 in the Union ballroom. Admission is tree.
Heading the cast are Clarence Dutton as Erwin Trow
bridge; David Doyle as Charlie, i
Don Sobolik as Frankie, and Rex
Coslor as Patsy.
The story concerns the antics
of a few characters who are in
terested in playing the horses.
Patsy, Charlie and Frankie are
three of this sort and may be
seen almost any time of the day
in a bar, which is tended by
Harry. Mabel, ex-chorus girl, is
the girlfriend of Patsy and is
with them most of the time. The
trio has been losing quite heavily
on the races and are trying to
figure out new angles on how to
pick the right horses, when Er
win Trowbridge comes onto the
scene.
A Quiet Poet
Erwin is an insignificant man,
employed by a greeting card
company to write poems to oe
used on various holiday cards. He
lives in a quiet suburb of New
Jersey with his wife, Audrey, and
leads a normal life until his un
canny ability to dope the horses
discovered by Jatsy. cnarne
and Frankie. Erwin never bets on
the horses, but confines himself
to a survey of the racing forms
on his way to work in the morn
ings.
One day, Erwin found himseii
in unusually low spirits and made
a visit to a nearby bar; it hap
pens to be the one frequented by
the horse-loving friends, in nis
low state of mind he gets into a
conversation with them and ac
cidentally gives them the correct
lead on the day's winners.
Strictly Business
A sort of business agreement is
worked out between the four and
they talk Erwin into being a con
tinuous source of information for
ten percent of the profits. This
leads to spending much time in
the bar, and consequently too
much drinking. His drinking
takes him off the "beaten path"
and he disappears from his home
for awhile. Everyone, his boss,
his wife, and his associates, are
looking high and low for him. At
last the search is ended and Er
