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. NU

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

The relationship between col-

board.
Dr. Charles W. Cole, presi

that colleges found many m-

' Performance in secondary schcl,

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-

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

record for advance box-office
sale.

Crowd of 1500 Witnesses
Aggies' Poultry Field Day
About 1500 poultry farmers
and people in the industry were
on hand here Monday for the
University Poultry Field day at
Ag college.
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.

For National
Any YWCA member who wants
to attend the national YW meet
at Miami university Dec. 27 to
Jan. 2 must have their applica
tions turned into the YW office
in Ellen Smith hall no later than
6 p.m. today.
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.

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

Chancellor R. G. Gustavson of
the University, Hobart Creight

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.
