Dick Hungerford, Lowell Nielson, and Harold Slagel put in that
idle hour at their house. Trophies on the piano prove the Co-op

members do not reside in the house. Also, work details here are
not arbitrarily assigned.

U.S. Education Office Reveals
Plan for Foreign Fellowships
The United States office of ed
ucation, in cooperation with the
State Department, announces fel
lowships which are available to
United States graduate students
as provided under the conven
tion for the promotion of inter
American cultural relations.
Two graduate students are ex
changed each year between the
United States and each of the
republics who are members of
the convention.
The participating countries,
other than the United States,
are: Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Col
ombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, the
Dominican Republic, Guatemala,
Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicar
agua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru
nd Venezuela.
During the next academic
year, the following countries
probably will receive students
frcm the United States: Brazil,
Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica,
Cuba, the Dominican Republic,
Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicar
agua Panama, Paraguay, i'eru,
and Venezuela.
Graduate Students
Graduate students in the Uni
ted States should have the fol
; lowing qualifications before ap
plying for these fellowships:
United States citizenship, a bach
elor's degree or its equivalent,
the initiation or completion of
some graduate study, a satisfac-
tory knowledge of the language
"- of the country to which the stu
' " dent wishes to go, good health,
moral character, intellectual
ability,; end a suitable plan- of
' study or a research topic which
J has been ' approved by the stu
" dents', adviser or supervising
jprofessot. , . . , :
'I H' ; Research Projects '
4 - All other' considerations being
. equal, students under 35 years
of age and veterans will be given
preference. Currently controver
sial research projects which
would preclude the possibility of
vuccessful investigation should
not be selected by the applicant.
Transportation to and from
the receiving country is paid by
the United States Government.
The receiving government pays
tuition and a monthly mainten
ance allowance. In some cases a
mall sum is allotted for books
and incidental expenses. It may
be necessary for the student to
supplement his maintenance al
lowance from other sources to
meet the cost of living expenses.
Application Procedure
Students who wish to make
application should write to the
Division of International ,du
cational Relations, American Re
publics Section, U. S. Office of
Education, Washington 25, D.C.
As soon as a sufficient number
of well-qualified candidates have
made application, the United
States Selection Committee will
prepare panels made up of the
names of five students for pres
entation to each currently par
ticipating government which in
turn will choose two from the
five for one-year fellowships.
Several months are required
before governments receiving
panels are able to make selec
tions. Applications must be re
ceived by the United States Of
fice of Education not later than
Dec. 15, 1950.
Rodeo Club Acts
On Constitution
Twenty-five members were
present last Wednesday night at
the second meeting of the Rodeo
association.
The group adopted a constitu
tion for the organization. This
must now be approved by the
Ag Exec board and the Student
Council before it becomes ef
fective. The constitution called
for -dues to be $1 per semester
and for meetings to be set tenta
tively for the second and fourth
Tuesday of each month.
Members were appointed to
two standing committees. They
are: Mark Dittman and John
Walsh, entertainment committee,
whose job it will be to provide
all entertainment for future
meetings.
Rex Messersmith and Jack
Manning were appointed to the
public relations committee. This
committee will take care of all
local and outstate publicity.
A moving picture was shown
to the group which was taken at
some of the more prominent
western Nebraska rodeos. A few
of the members present were in
the pictures.

Friendship and cooperation.
Those are the reasons that have
led scores of University men to
form the incorporated co-operative
houses. . . The Brown Pal
ace, Norris House, Pioneer House,
and the Cornhusker Co-op club.
To the independent students
making up their memberships,
the houses extend many advant
ages, among which are oppor
tunities for inexpensive living;
channels for individual talents;
opportunities for leadership and
participation in activities; and the
"feeling of belonging to a group."
The houses have reacted to
common problems in individual
ways.
M e m b e rs h ip qualifications
vary. While some houses ad
here to an unwritten "whites
only" rule, others recognize no
barriers of race, color, or reli
gion. To enter certain houses,
one must be recommened by an
active and approved by all. Other
houses simply require applicant
to join a waiting list, subject to
approval by three-fourths of
house members.
House Hunt
All four houses have a history
of being on the move at one time
or another. House hunts occur
every few years. The Brown Pal
ace group was once chased out
of a house one jump ahead of a
Sidles company wrecking crew.
A large auto salesroom and ga
rage now occupies the spot. The
group is now settled in a three
story brick building at 12th and
J streets. By all indications they
will be there for some time to
come.
The Norris. Cornhusker. and
Pioneer groups, on the other
hand, are looking once more for
new houses. Their present sites,
in frame houses on S and U
streets, are scheduled to be
razed sometime in the future to
make way for University expan
sion. The houses have various opin
ions as to affiliation with national
co-op organizations. Norris House
is a member of the Central
League of Campus Co-ops and
the North American Student Co
Op League. Pioneer House has
allowed its membership in the
national group to lapse, since a
majority of members felt there
was little advantage in belong
ing. The Brown Palace and the
Cornhusker club have always
been strictly local in nature.
Work Details
Most of the houses assign de
finite work details to members.
These detai's may include serv
ing meals, kitchen police, house
clean-up, and laundry details.
Each member is put on three de
tails a week. The Cornhusker
Co-op, however, is unique in hav
ing no assigned details. Mem
bers there volunteer for whatever
jobs they like best. The situa
tion is satisfactory and no dif
ficulty is reported in filling de
tails. Intramural athletics are a j
major activity tor the co-ops,
with every house taking pride in
turning out winning teams.
Norris House has taken a volley
ball championship in the inde-i
pendent league, while the Brown
t'aiace and Cornhusker houses
are champions in football and
softball respectively in the fra
ternty league.

Brown Palace
Founded in 1942. Brown Pal
ace incorporated has 48 mem
bers at present. Heading the
group is Max James, with Jim
Crellean vice president. The
group sports twb treasurers,
George Conner and Lloyd KnaDa
and is at present in the process
of naming a new secretary.
Ihe men are at present en
gaged in redecorating their pal
ace. They also boast a television
set acquired last year. A number
of prominent individuals in the
house keep things jumping.
Brown Palace candidate for
UMOC is Jim Justice, noted for
his serious views on life. The
rest of the fellows point with
pride to his 8.7 average.

XMo mention ot the palace is

who has been dubbed the "mart
physicist," and Bob Schroeder,
whose gal from Grand Island is

Norris House
The members of Norris House
had Senator George Norris,
famous liberal, in mind when
they named their group.
"If anything is vital to the
organization it is the spirit of
cooperation," say the house
members, who are proud of their
liberal views. "That is . . . inter
national, interreligous, inter
racial cooperation."
The house serves some 45
boarders, of whom 20 room
there. Students from Iraq, For
mosa, Hungary, Norway, Poland,
Nigeria and Estonia are on the
house roster.
Norris House officers include
Charley Jones, president; John
Wooden, vice president; Kenneth
Lindquist, secretary; and Rich
ard Bennett, treasurer.
Connections with the Consum
ers Cooperative Association of
Kansas City are used to good
advantage by the house. It is
able to purchase gas, utilities
such as a deep-freeze, and food
at cut rate ad whole sale prices
due to the co-op system.
A midnight coffee hour is a
tradition with a house, with
plenty of opportunities for merry
making and bull sessions. In fact,
early sleepers find their job dif
ficult. A tape recorder has pro
vided many laughs. Old and un
printable army ballads are pre
served on tapes for posterity.
Pioneer House
A short distance west on S
street stands Pioneer House,
founded in '39. The. house boasts
a wide range of representation
from various colleges on the
campus and various areas of Ne
braska. The village of Rushville
has sent a very noticeable dele
gation to the house over the
years. '?
True to the average, about half
of Pioneer, .members posses cars.
But for those lacking rides, the
last resort is always Jack Bussel
and his motorcycle , r -
Major event for the members
is the annual spring ' picnic, to
which all all house alumni are in
vited. The pioneers also prize
highly their right to raid the
kitchen at any hour.
Among prominent house mem
bers are Don "Independent Stu
dent's Association" Flesher; Herb
Lehman, whose guitar enlivens
picnics and quiet hours; and Dick
Cronin, who never fails to pre
dict academic disaster. Cronin
also never fails to come up with
grades in the upper 7 and 8
range.
House head is Don Pullen,
K. P. AT PIONEER HOUSE One of the work details at cooper
ative houses is the task of dishwashing. On the way to getting
dishwater hands are Don Dutcher, Harold Hesseltine, Kenneth
Rystrom. One of the major traditions at Pioneer House is the
so-called "workfest," a week before the opening of school. At
that time house members show up to paint, clean, and generally
rebuild the house.

"Footlite Frolics" Presentation
To Feature Singing. Acting
There's bedlam in studio B,
these evenings.
We mean the studio in the
basement of Temple building,
where a group of young would
be professionals are rehearsing
for their big venture.
Some 15 speech, radio and mu
sic majors are rehearsing under
the direction of Gaylord Marr
and Bob Vollmer. They will pre
sent "Footlite Frolics," a musical
revue, at the Lincoln high school
auditorium Nov. 10 and 11. The
Women's Division of the Cham
ber of Commerce acts as spon
sor. Only those who have taken
part in some musical or dramatic
production can appreciate the
vast amount of rehearsal neces
sary. Studio B
A Rag reporter dropped into
Studio B one night and found a
section of the cast busy on num
bers in the musical. Wini Dn"
own equipment. Ford once
played the character "Lucky" in
numerous Hopalong Cassidy
films.
Marr soon had the quartette
swinging into another number.
This time it was a satire on pat
ent medicines. Cooned the men:
"Doctor Brinkley helped my
grandpa
At the age of ninety-three;
Shrieks and screams were
heard from grandma
Grandpa had chased her up
a tree!"
"Footlight Frolics"
A member of the quartette,
and also a featured vocalist of
"Footlite Frolics," is Ed Bender.
Proving his devotion to the show,
he drives 30 miles to rehearsals
several times a week. A rev
erent hush falls over the cast
when Bender warms up on such
sentimental numbers as "One
For My Baby." Ed will be
teamed with girls such as Lois
son was busy crooning the song Nelson and Eleanor Bancroft in
"Black Market" in sultry u.l.
lene Dietrich style. Pounding
the piano for her was Bob Voll
mer, who composed and ar
ranged music that will be used
in "Frolics."
"Stick around and work on
that number," advised Gaylord
Marr. But Wini had to hurry off
to other jobs. Busy part of the
time being a student, she also
happens to be a continuity editor
for station KOLN.
Under the lash for the rest of
the rehearsal was a male quar
tette: Ed Bender, Wayne Jostes,
Frank Redman and Dick Shu-r
bert. The four went through an
act satirizing singing commer
cials, while Marr crouched be
fore them using a "plumber's
friend" for a baton.
"Now Sing!"
Vollmer made on the piano
like galloping horses, then bel
lowed, "Now sing! You . . ."
The quartette swung into a com
mercial advertising perculated
oais for buggy horses. A little
trouble developed when the
quartette had to exit. .
There was something faulty
about that exit, so Vollmer made
them try it again. In fact, he
made the quartette exit 17 times
before he was satisfied.
Which all goes to show the
rehearsal grind needed for a
rehearsal grind needed for a
smooth production.
Some trouble was found in as
sembling props needed for the
revue. "We had a time finding
chaps, spurs, and a belt for a
cowboy scene," reported Marr.
A former movie star, Rex Ford,
supplied the items. Thereby
hangs a tale.
Western Equipment '
Rex Ford is at present a night
watchman, a campus cop, at the
University. He was juIj to sup
ply chaps and spurs from his
numbers during the show,
Another far-traveling member
of the cast is Gus Ready of
Kearney, who will have to cover
several hundred miles to attend
rehearsals and the presentations
themselves.
"We're frankly trying to play
on people's memories," says Marr
of the musical. The theme is a
history of fifty years of enter
tainment. Tickets are on sale at
Latsch's on O street.
"Grandma's in the cellar,
un Jordy, can't ya smell 'er,
Cookin' flapjacks on that
Gol-darn dirty stove . . .?"
Follies' Plans Due
On December 15
Each organized woman's house
participating in Coed Follies
must submit a' written script for
its skit or curtain act by Dec. 15.
Coed Follies will be Feb 27.
Scripts are to be submitted early
to prevent the duplication of
ideas. In case two groups enter
the. same idea, the first script
submitted will be used and the
other group asked to change its
theme.
The AWS board believes that
this rule will give each group a
better chance in the competition.
Scripts should be sent as soon
as possible to Marilyn Moomey,
426 North 16. Skits must not ex
ceed eight minutes and curtain
acts must be no more than five
minutes. It will not be necessary
to enter candidates for Typical
Nebraska Coed until a later
date.
If a group has not entered a
script by Dec. 15, it will be as
sumed 'that it does not intend to
participate in the follies.
They still need you. Contrib

Cornhusker Co-op
Located just west of the Em
manuel Campus- Chapel is the
Cornhusker co-op house. Thirty
two eat here, but only eight are
roomers. Most of the club mem
bers reside in the nearby Men's
Dorm.
The ruling body here includes
John Foley, president; Lowell
Nielson, vice president; Gaylord
Hay, secretary; and Don Nelson,
treasurer.
Cornhusker members seem to
specialize in softball and hour
dances. They took University ball
championships in 1946 and 1950.
As for the dances, names like
Terrace, Wilson, Rundle, Hepp
ner, Rosa Bouton, and Towne are
specially significant.
Two house members, Hunger
ford and Nielson, have attained
some- fame as apple vendors.
Nielson also doubles as a mock
radio announcer, whose "Happy
Butch's Hour" in the early a.m.
is guaranteed to wake everything
in the house.
