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.

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. Chest expansion, the measure of your size. Aid the Community Chest, by giving to AUF. ' By Jerry Bailey 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.

Thus two groups of inde pendents took part in a competi tion tnat usually sees an inde pendent and a Greek group op posing eacn other. 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. area t-ox, 125 pound house hergeani-ai-arms, maintains or aer 'by brute force," according io reports, wayne Bath and Lloyd Knapp manage to see that house memoers have no potatoes to eat on Wednesdays. On the Tuesday night spud detail, the two seldom manage to show up. XMo mention ot the palace is complete without Art Meyeratt, who has been dubbed the "mart physicist," and Bob Schroeder, whose gal from Grand Island is the priae of the house. 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. Marketing Awards Freshmen Tryout ST aingaseffeta'rf SB Offered to Students For Three Plays "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 ute now to AUF, i Paul Kugler serving as treasurer. 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. Harry Wray, a cowboy from the edge of the Sandhills, pro vides the musical talent at Corn husker Co-op. Visitors may hear him strumming the guitar and voicing a ballad: j Marketing students in the un dergraduate and graduate di visions may compete in the Uhl man awards student contest.
