So far the record very briefly is as follows: Seventeen students took their seats as members of the new body at meeting number one. Three new officers were chosen also. They were Peggy Mulvaney, cor responding secretary; Mary Hub ka, secretary and George Wilcox, treasurer. Other officers elected lat spring were Rob Raun, president; Bob Parker, vice president: and Gene Berg, judiciary chairman. IritTal plans for migration were discussed. Second Meeting A complete outline of arrange ments for the trek to Kansas were presented at the second meeting of the Council. One of the lowest ticket prices ($5.41) was announced. Members also voted to support NUCWA's proposal to circulate Crusade for Freedom scrolls. At meeting number three the elections committee announced that with full Council approval, plans to hold filing for junior and senior class officers would agian be held. The elections of last spring were invalidated by the Council NU Detoneers Launch Drive For Members The Detoneers, military organ ization, will meet Thursday, Nov. 2, at 7:30 p.m. in the Cadet Of ficers' lounge in the Armory. The organization was estab lished on the campus in 1937. It was originated by the military department of the University ex clusively for engineering stu dents to give them a chance to broaden their scope of interests and activities throughout their academic years. The only qualification for membership is that the student must be enrolled in some mili tary science course. At first the organization was called "The Detoneers." When it became affiliated with the na tional society, called the Society of American Military Engineers, this term -was applied to only the student port on the campus. The Detoneers flourished until World War II interfered. Due to the war, the organization was disbanded until student interest warranted its reinstatement Student interest has recalled the Detoneers and two weeks ago the first business meeting was held since the group dis banded eight years ago. At the meeting it was decided to have a prominent speaker at each meeting and show movies that would be interesting and educational to the group. It was lso decided that all engineering students should be informed about the Detoneers and its pur poses and activities on the campus, Any engineering student who j k enrolled in ROTC, either basic or advanced, i eligible to attend the meeting Thursday and be come a member of the organiza tion.

Ballet Group's 20 Years of Mounting Fame Tickets are now being sold for the Sadler's Wells Ballet every afternoon in the Union, and will continue to be sold until Nov. 10. Thus far 1,450 tickets have been checked out by Kosmet Klub workers, and approximately 1,000 have been sold. The ballet has a long history. When a group of ballet-minded Englishmen calling themselves the Camargo society sponsored the smalL struggling ballet club and its director-. Ninette de Valois, they unknowingly sowed the seed that eventually flowered into Sadler's Wells Ballet For the history of Ninette de Valois is the history of that celebrated English company. In 1929, the Camargo society began by sponsoring four per formances a year by the ballet club. In 1931, the ballet, "Job" choreographed by Miss de Valois, won her wide acclaim and the attention of Lillian Baylis, the director of the "Old Vic," and the Sadler's Wells theater. Ninette Stars She engaged Miss de Valois to stage the ballets in the Sadler's Weils Opera productions. As an added inducement to Ninette de Valois, she permitted her to op erate a ballet school in conjunc tion with the group of six dancers. Here was a chance for Miss de Valois to realize her lifelong am bition, to establish a national ballet in England. She brought to the company all the experience she had gained as a soloist with Diaghilev's Great Russian com pany. The daughter of an Irish Colonel, Miss de Valois had Joined Daigbilev group in 1924, left it in 1926 to produce plays for the Abbey theater in Dublin and the Cambridge Festival. Independent Shows In 1931, she started work on the project closest to her heart. Before long, the ballet group, or ganized to supplement the opera company, was giving occasional Independent performances. It was beginning to rival the opera itself in popularity. Last season, the celebrated English company not only set theater attendance records wher ever it played, but by its innovat School Marks Investigated By Educators - The relationship between col- lege grades and success in later life was studied at a meeting in New York last week of the Col lege Entrance Examination board. Dr. Charles W. Cole, presi dent of Amherst college, said I 11 t j that colleges found many m- stances in which students who , "' owfe d,T Fade!10J ing leaders later on in business nnW tho rwr f acci rrc w ' Some persons reach their peak ' Performance in secondary schcl, I ers ,n college and graduate ! school and still others after school, Dr. Cole asserted. 'Late Bloomer' He noted that one Amherst student had a barely passing grade in his sophomore year, in creased it to 79.85 in his junior jyear and attained an 83.40 in his senior year. "But before he was !35." Dr. Cole added, "he was head of a most important gov ernment agency and today, still under 40, he is executive vice president of a great corpora tion." In addition to the "late- any of the training, skills, dis. jcipbne, insights or interests that education should give." I Then there is the "half-achiever": He, "with great gifts, makes only a respectable record of de- : iTolnnmont 9nH ic lilro a CIV -TV functioning in two of the cyl- inaers. 'Motivation' Among the other questions raised by this "phenomenon," Dr. Cole said, were: Does the college admission system favor those who mature early? Does it put a premium on precocity? How can a college detect the candidate who has still within him the potentiality for further grounds of applicants for admis sion to college and by testing their "motivation" it might be possible to help the "late-bloomers," the "under-achievers" and "half-achievers," Dr. Cole sug gested. History Shows ing evening-long productions and impeccable dancing also fostered an unprecedented interest in ballet. The great enthusiasm shown by audiences in the nine cities which viewed the Sadler's Wells Ballet last year led the sponsors of the company to extend the current tour to 29 cities from coast to coast. New York Opera This season's engagement on Sept. 10 was at the Metropolitan opera house in New York, on the same stage the company scored so spectacularly at its gala pre miere. Back again were Margot Fonteyn, Robert Yelpmann, Noira Shearer, Pamela May, Beryl Grey, Violetta Elvin, Alexis Ras sine, Michael Somes, and John Hart who head the company of 65 dancers. The symphony or chestra is under the musical di rection of Robert Irving, who will share the podium with John Hollingsworth. The programs on tour -will be j drawn from the repertoire which j includes such works as the full ' length versions of "Le Lac des Cynges," in four acts. "The Sleep ing Beauty" in a prologue and three acts, "Giselle," in two acts, and a variety of other classic and modern works including: "Wed ding Bouquet," "Rake's Prog ress," "Facade," "Les Patineurs," and "The Rose Adagio." t Complete Sellout In New York City, where the Sadler's Wells Ballet performed for three weeks at the Metropoli tan opera house, the treasurers reported a complete sellout be fore opening. The box-office men of the San Francisco opera house affirmed that more than $100,000 was taken in with the opening still two months away. The one performance in Oklahoma City is already 6old out, with a record gross of $18,000. Boston's one week engagement, which does not commence until Jan. 10, is now two-thirds sold, with an advance of $50,000. Phil adelphia, the first stop on the tour after New York, now has empty ticket racks. The Sadler's Wells Ballet has set an all-time record for advance box-office sale. 6Baby Sitters9 Class to Start November 9 Baby Sitters school begins Thursday, Nov. 9.

They caught up on the latest research the University has to ' offer through speeches and i through tours of the institution's poultry plant. Dr. W. V. Lambert, j dean of the college of agricul j ture, welcomed the poultrymen. : He told the group the University sees the need for strengthening its research program in the poul itry field and bolstering coopera ; tion with the regional poultry re- search laboratory. I Dean Lambert said the college needs to modernize its poultry plant and to move part of it to the Havelock farm east of Lin coln. "Nebraska." the dean said, "is well situated to compete in poul try markets. It has the feed sup plies and a good climate. There ! is no reason, for instance, that i broilers should be shipped to the I state from the east." I Price Parity Falls Professor Norris J. Anderson i of the University's agriculture ! economics department, told poul- Itrymen that the farm parity ra tio (prices farmers receive in re lation to prices they pay for what they buy) has declined since World War II and is declining even under the price support program. This, he said, suggests I that prices farmers receive are more stable than the prices they I have to pay lor goods they need, j "This," said Professor Ander ! son. "indicates a distinct need for a sound agricultural program. He suggested four-points: which he said must be considered in farm price policy. 1. International trade on a purchase or exchange basis must be reestablished. To trade now with heavily populated countries means we must be willing to take goods they have to selL It means we must avoid pricing ourselves out of world markets as we are doing in the case of wheat.

The fourth national assembly of the Student Christian associa tion movement meets once in four years. Sue Allen, urging any active University YW mem ber to consider attending the con ference, pointed out that the op portunity to participate in the assembly occurs only once during a coed's college career. The University students. Miss Allen said, will probably travel to Oxford, O., by chartered bus. This will decrease transportation costs, she explained. Allen Co-chairman Miss Allen will be the YW presiding officer at the national assembly. She and the national YMCA president will be co chairmen. Costs for University students attending the meet will amount to $10, registration; $20, board and room; and transportation. Miss Allen estimates transporta tion costs to be about $30. Finan cial assistance is available for students wanting it. Application for this must be in the Y office today by 6 p.m. - "What does God require of us," will be the assembly theme. The delegates will discuss the topic and consider methods of action on campuses throughout the country. 1,500 Delegate Expected Representa tives from S09 YWCA, YMCA's and CA's from 706 colleges and universities are permit the unhampered move ment of goods from surplus to - deficit areas within our own country 3. Agriculture needs a strong research program. American ag riculture is conducted with few er than 200 species of plants. Yet natives between the Rio Grande and the Arctic seas grow 15,000 species. How many of these are possible crops, potentially more profitable than now grown. No one knows because science has not yet had the means to ex plore their value. 4. We need a policy that will avert the liklihood of agricul ture's bearing more than its fair share of the burden in periods of recession one which per mits markets to clear without too much government subsidy. Professor Anderson discussed the pros and cons of fixed price supports, flexible price supports and the Brannan income subsidy plan. He told the poultrymen it is the job of researchers and ex tension men to present the facts impartially and it is their job as citizens to weigh the informa tion and find the right agricul tural program for the country. Jane Wasmuth of Chicago, as sistant to the president of the American Poultry industries, cautioned the poultrymen that they must always keep the con sumer in mind in their business. Too often the poultryman for gets this, said Miss Wasmuth. "Too often we're careless about feeding hens good qualitv ra tions: too often we gather eggs at miscellaneous intervals and then let them start deteriorating in the nest. Too often we don't cool eggs properly. Then we let eggs get dirty and resort to washing a quick way to ruin otherwise cood eggs." Other speakers on Monday af ternoon's program included Chancellor R. G. Gustavson of the University, Hobart Creight on, Warsaw, Ind.; Dr. Doretta Schlaphoff, chairman of the Uni versity's home economics depart ment and H. H. Alp, Chicago, American Farm Bureau federa tion. - deck comfortl I 1 IVflSITY ifYHS -SmS Hs. 1 i I. 7; L m Today YWCA Meet expected to attend the meeting. About 1,500 delegates including students, faculty and staff mem bers will be present. When the assembly met in 1946 a committee was formed to study the purpose and nature of the SCAM. A report of this will be given at the 1950 meet. The morning series at the two week conference will be given by the Rt. Rev. Stephen Neill, asso ciate general secretary of the World Council of Churches. Alex ander Miller, author of "Chris tian Faith and My Job," and former general secretary of New Zealand Student Christian move ment, will address the assembly on the topic "Christian Vocation." Other Speakers Other speakers include: Dr. Vera Micheles Dean, director, re search department. Foreign Pol icy association; Dr. Kirtley F. Mather, professor of geology, Harvard university, chairman of the NICC committee on religion and president of the American Association of Scientists, and Marie-Jeanne de Haller, assistant general secretary of the World's Student Christian federation. A portion of the assembly will be used for hearings and legisla tive sessions on drafting of the program for the coming four years. Part of the afternoons will be devoted to vocational inter ests, missionary emphases, ex hibits and recreation. Special sessions for association advisers, faculty and administra tors are being planned. Miss Allen was named national chairman at the meeting of the National Intercollegiate Christian Council at Earlham college last summer. She was a delegate from the University YWCA. Men's Dorm 'Characters? mm -m-T m Utter Variety I This article is not the absolute truth, nor is it entirely fictional. Where could you find a more complete selection of characters than around the men's dorm? Character A is the military fan atic. He takes the cake. This joker is always studying his mil itary science or practicing his rifle drill and marching. Character B is the lady-killer. He's the one that has a string of g'te a mile long. They all seem to be rich and own a coup le of Cadillac convertibles. To hear him tell it, he should be in the movies. Maybe the funnies would be better. Character C is the party boy. To him the epitome of living is to wine, dine, and make merry. Then, there's the brain. He never has time to get into cam pus activities because he must read all the reference works the instructor assigns. Another character is the ex act opposite of the brain. He spends all his time on activities and never gets his lessons. If you want to find him when's he's in the dorm, don't look in his room. He'll either be in the lounge, the ping-pong room or in someone else's room raising cain. Invert in Humanity. Aid the AUF. Invest in tomorrow today. Give to AUF.

RCA Victor hopes to lend ad ditional emphasis to the football in 1950. The winning player will be selected on the basis of sta tistics released by the National Collegiate Athletic bureau bared on the classifications oy ine Football Writers' Association of America. The Daily Nebraskan will be notified bi-monthly if any Corn- husker scorers are among the top 20, as well as the 20 players themselves. The RCA Victor distributors are planning to give local prizes of a 45 rpm phonograph each week to the football player w'-o scores the most touchdowns in each individual RCA Victor ter ritory. The sponsors hope that the contest will prove a source of even keener competition than is customary during this season and will focus the well -deserved limelight on the final, high-scoring "Mr. Touchdown USA."
