"ANTIGONE" SCENE Taking the lead, roles in the University

and Jan Crilly as Antigone. The curtain will rise at 8 p.m. tonight
at the experimental theatre of the Temple building, Room 201.
All University students will be admitted without any charge.
However, due to limited seating facilities, it will be "first come,

Stressing religion as applied
directly to the average Univer

Week will be held on the
campus from Sunday to Thurs
day, Nov. 5 to 9.
Though the week selected for
religious activities is the week
after Homecoming, the executive
committee believes that the pro
gram scheduled this year will be
of sufficient interest to receive
outstanding student support.
"What's the Score," or "What
is Your Goal in Life." has been
chosen as the theme for the week.
A number of outstanding
sneakers and leaders, including
i Dr. T. Z. Koo will be on the cam
pus. They will be supplied by the
University Christian Missions
which is cooperating with the
Religious Welfare Council in
sponsoring the week.
On Sunday, Nov. 5, the day
after Homecoming Saturday. Dr.
Koo will appear in the Union
ballroom in a Unversity convo

Dr. Koo will be on hand for
only one campus appearance as

4 Sororities
Reach AUF
Pledge Goals
A total of $1,206 has been
pledged to the All University
Fund up-to-date by the 14 so
rorities on campus.
Contributing 100 percent are
four sororities Kappa Alpha
Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma,
Sigma Delta Tau and PI Beta
Phi.
This means that these houses
have attained their respective
goals figured by multiplying the
number of members times two.
Two-thirds of the total goal
has been reached by the entire
group. The amount which is set
by AUF totals $1,704.
Other sororities ranked ac
cording to the percentage
reached thus far:
Chi Omega 9fi
Delta Gamma 92
Alpha Phi 80
Alpha Xi Delta 66
Gamma Phi Beta 63
Alpha Omicron Pi 60
Alpha Chi Omega 55
Sigma Kappa 33
Delta Delta Delta 31
Kappa Delta 17
In charge of women's organ
ized house solicitations, Sandra
Walt asked that members in
these houses complete their goals
as quickly as possible.
Said Miss Walt, "It is up to
the students to make their dona
tions. We would like to re
mind everyone that the amount
they give will be allotted to
many organizations instead of
just one."
She added, "AUF is not only a
service to these various charity
groups, but to the University
also. That is, through AUF,
students may contribute just
once, knowing that they won't
be asked to dig in their pockets
several more times."

Historv Prof
Raps Language
Education
Nebraska got a rap on the
knuckles Friday for what was
deescribed as an "educational
policy of Isolationism" in the
teaching of foreign languages in
grade schools.
"We live in a period of global
warfare, of international work
for peace, of international busi
ness," Dr. Eugene N. Anderson,
University history professor said.
"We support the United Nations
in word, but we are not pre
paring our children with the
language know-how essential to
enable us to take the role of the
leader of free and peaceful'
people in the world today."
Addressing the Nebraska Dis
trict I. section of the modern '
language teachers association
held on the University campus,
Dr. Anderson said our failure to
teach the Russian language is a j
prime example of our language
isolationism.
'If we were to go to war with
Russia, and defeat it, we haven't
more than than a handful of
persons with enough knowledge
of the Russian and the other
lenguages of countries dominated
by Communism to carry on the
business of occupation," Dr.
Anderson said. "We would need
thousands of persons with a
fluent knowledge of the langu
ages." "We cannot shrug off this re
sponsibility," he said. "Nebraska
has as fine natural facilities for
learning foreign language as can
be found in the world. We have
some 15 to 20 nationality groups
with some knowledge of the
languages of their forefathers.
We are a small United Nations,
and we could in this state pro
vide many leaders to meet this
crucial need of our country. It
is high time we start training in
foreign languages in grammar
schools. Children learn langu
ages quickly, adults very slowly
and painfully. This program will
enable our children to be of
maximum service to our country
and to our united world."
