The Weather Colder, snow and high wi .ids tonlf ht, eft H ife in A By Jeanne Lamar and Janet Steffen "1 say, is there a spot near here where a fellow can get a cup of tea?" This query greeted us as we entered the Coliseum Monday afternoon during the rehearsal for the Sadler's Wells ballet held Mondpy evening. After telling the Englishman how to get to "Dirty Earl's," we met a violinist from Brooklyn named I. Faibisoff. This co-operative gentleman immediately offered his assistance and even managed to get us a ride to the Burlington station, where the ballet troupe had its six sleeping cars. There we talked to Herbert Hughes, English general man ager of the group, and got a rough idea of the life of a travel ing ballet troupe. "It has its ups and downs," said Mr. Hughes in his clipped English, "but so fai- we have had no major mishaps. The dancers, who all come from England, en joy America. They load them selves with American clothes, Annual Dinner To Include Chinese Food The annual International Friendship Dinner, co-sponsored by the Religious Welfare Council and NUCWA, will be held Thurs day, Nov. 30, at 6:30 p.m. in the Union ballroom.

It was originated by the Religious Wel fare Council with the coopera tion of Cosmopolitan club, Inter national House and later, NUCWA. "It's purpose," announced Pon Chinn, general chairman, "is to promote better understanding among foreign and American born students." Musical Entertainment Dr. G. W. Rosenlof will emcee i the proceedings and introduce the participants. Entertainment will be presented by the Cosmo politan club.

He began preparing the rice dish the afternoon before the dinner. Claude Hannezo, France, tossed the French salad for the meal. Oriental tea and an international dessert, ice cream, were also served. 300 Tickets Left For Sooner Tilt A. J. Lewandowski reports that 4,000 student tickets have been sold for the Nebraska Oklahoma game which is Satur day, Nov. 25. Only 300 tickets remain to be sold. Those going to Norman on the Oklahoma special train will leave from the Burlington sta tion Friday at 8 p.m. The Husk er fans will arrive in Oklahoma City at 8 a.m. Saturday.

Union to Hold 'Workers' Party Union activities immediately following Thanksgiving vacation include a party for all Union workers. The entire Union will be deco rated for the party. The Christ mas theme will prevail in the decorations. Tentative plans in clude having eight Christmas trees. The party will be held from 7 to 9 Mondiy, Nov, 28. All Union workers are invited.

UE!S erica shoes, and souvenirs and are amazed that there is so much to see, buy and eat." Vastness of American Mr. Hughes also commented that the dancers are impressed with the vastness of the United States. They travel as far as the entire length of England between one-night stands. Before coming to Lincoln, the troupe played in Denver, where Mr. Hughes says "there is not enough oxygen for dancing." They also spent three weeks in California, where they suffered a bit of homesickness because of the dense fog. The dancers re gret that they will have to spend Christmas away from their Eng lish homes, as they will be play ing in Chicago at that time. On the whole, however, the morale of the group is very high, and is reflected in the attitude of the stars. Moira Shearer Moira Shearer, prima donna who starred in the movie, "The Red Soes," is fortunate enough to have her writer-husband in the United States during the tour. The other dancers are not so lucky. The stage director has a new daughter, born in England last month, whom he has not yet seen. Hughes finds Americans very co-operative and hospitable. In many cities the group has been honored at parties and recep tions. It was especially interesting to know that the Sadler's Wells bal let '..as its own preparatory school in London, where they begin to train children at the age of eight. The children are taught dancing along with their other subjects. At 15, the proteges make their stage debuts as "walk ons." Later if they are good enough, they are promoted to the second company, and event ually the best dancers reach the first company. Since the children cannot be taken out of school to come to America, the company often en gages American ballet students. Saturday Meet mH1 CTC V lOTnt'Ari For Debaters After three rounds of discus sing international organizations (University debaters came out vic- torious in lour of their six clashes Saturday at Morningside college's invitational confer ence. The team composed of Charles Rossow and Gene Wohlner won and rated excellent as a team and as individual speakers. The girls tn iln ord, having defeated two of their opponents and losing to one team. They were rated excellent as a team and individually. The debaters, accompanied by Donald Olson, University debate coach, represented one of the 18 schools present at the one day conference. Four states, Nebras ka, Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota, were represented.

Student Housekeeper's Life A Composite of Beans, Babies By Phyllis Cbubbuck Flying beans, child care, housekeeping, cooking, and par ties all fit together to make up the life of the students in the home management houses. The girls who are majoring in. home economics are required to live three and one half weeks at each of the home manage ment houses, 1600 R street and 3220 Starr . street. During this period, the duties of manager, cook, assistant cook, housekeep er, assistant housekeeper, and child director are rotated among the five to six girls living there, giving them the opportunity for each position at both houses. The cook and assistant cook do not claim to have flying saucers in the kitchen as they prepare the meals, but flying beans and split pea soup have been seen showering the room. This strange flying" movement of beans and peas came when the lid was removed from a pressure cooker from which all of the pressure had not escaped. Such occurrences are encountered by the girls as they practice their knowledge of cooking in prepar ing the daily meals. These phenomenas are classified as rare in the usually smooth oper ating routine. Meals and Budget Planning the meals and the budget are the duties of the manager. The budget of the Starr street home management is based on a low moderate in-1 LINCOLN 8, NEBRASKA rai,imiim.r mum ..Lin- ffljjjpnifflffiq I I ) C g v L If i. '? . J Courtay Lincoln Journal COSTELLO M arine S g t. James F. Costello drowned in the University swimming pool Sunday. The marine was one of 17 marines from the Lin coln naval air station who were taking swimming qualifi cation teste. Marine Falls, Drowns in Pool At Coliseum The University swimming pool had its first serious casualty when Sgt. James F. Costello, 24, from Greeley, Colo., drowned Saturday. Costello was a reservist on ac tive duty at the naval air sta tion. He was one of 17 marines taking swimming qualification tests at the pool in the University Coliseum, according to Lt. Col. E. V. Finn, commanding officer of the marine air detachment at the naval air station. Costello, it is believed, slipped and fell, striking his head on the edge of the pool. Lifeguards Lt. Roger Stewart and Sgt. Harlan J. Hall, both marines, reported there was no disturbance or struggle in the water. The naval station's medical of ficer, Commander Albert E. Mor ris, reported a one-inch cut over Costello's right eyebrow. Artificial respiration was given by the emergency squad of the Lincoln Fire department and the t fiitli i ji fr nkirpininn A was used '0T three quarters of an hour before Sergeant Costello was pronounced dead. The sergeant served with a Marine air group in World War II and was discharged in 1946. He attended Creighton univer sity at Omaha for a year and was a graduate of St. Joseph's acad emy of Greeley. He returned to active duty at the air station in 1949. He is survived by his parents and several brothers and sisters. ijjlortcir iOtH(l j Award Offered Plans for the national Mortar Board's annual $500 fellowship contest were announced this week. Any active Mortar Board who can qualify as a candidate for the master's or doctor's degree is eligible for the Katherine Wills Coleman fellowship, named in honor of a former national presi dent of Mortar Board. The scholarship goes each year to an active member of the or ganization as an aid in graduate study. It may be used either the year following graduation or the next year, but application must be made by Dec. 10 of the senior year. Information and application blanks may be obtained from Mrs. Hamilton J. Stevens, 565 Greenwood avenue, San Marino 9, Calif., by Dec. 10.

The city campus house operates on a high moderate income, $3,000 to $4,000 a year, which allows 23 to 25 cents per meal for each person. The housekeeper is in charge of the daily house work. Effi ciency is the goal in order to spend the least possible time in doing the routine tasks. A baby, usually obtained from the State Home for Children, is placed under the care of the child director. The child pro vides many interesting hours for the girls. Ingenuity Taught The home management stu dents may be seen frequently going across the campus carry ing leaves and weeds to be used as decorative objects around the house. Ingenuity is called on for unique decorations for special parties. It is all part of the purpose of this program to teach the girls to use what they have to get what they want. During open house at the management home on Starr street, an unknown guest was mistaken for a professor's wife. The professor, unable to attend himself, had phoned that his wife might come. The girls, not knowing who she was, mistook her for the first unknown guest. After refreshments the'lady be- coming somewhat bewildered by gisl Unive Pianist To Play For 'Ball' Opening the formal season on the campus will be the Military Ball at the Coliseum Saturday, Dec. 2. Frankie Carle and his orchestra will furnish the music for the all-University affair sponsored annually by the Military depart ment. The Candidate Officers as sociation, including air, ground and naval forces, are planning the ball. Nimble-fingered Frankie Carle and his orchestra will be one of the biggest name bands that have ever played for any campus function. Pianist Carle is the composer of such hits as "Sunrise Sere nade," "Rumors are Flying," and "Oh What I Seemed to Be." Featured Coast to Coast Coast to coast,, at all the lead ing band locations and theaters, Frankie Carle and his orchestra are annual feature presenta-. tions. One of the outstanding music favorites in the nation, the Carle menage has managed to in crease its popularity everywhere, often breaking records set dur ing previous engagements. Appearing with Frankie Carle will be many young musicians. He is featuring Terri Stevens, Bobby Clark and Allan Sims. Other musicians appearing at the Coliseum in recent years for the Military Ball have been Tony Pastor, Sunny Dunham and Chuck Foster. Presentation Ceremony The presentation ceremony will begin at 8 p.m. in the Coliseum. Donald Lentz will conduct the ROTC band for the grand march. Leading the grand march will be Bob Phelps, president of the Candidate Officers association and his lady. Following will be Cadet colonel James Wroth, Cadet colonel George McQueen and Cadet midshipman Rich Rockwell and the ladies they are escorting. Others in the grand march will be all senior ROTC men and their dates. This year's theme is to honor the Navy department. Decora tions will be carried out in ac cordance with this theme. Honorary Commandant The Honorary Commandant will be revealed after the grand march. She will be attired in a double-breasted white gabardine suit, white military style cape with red lining and a white over seas cap with gold braid. Dancing to Frankie Carle will continue until 12 midnight. The idea of the Military Ball began in 1893 when the school paper, "The Hesperian," proposed a military dance which would . furnish a landmark for the cadets to remember their military work. The idea was well received and the first Military Ball was held in 1895. Tickets for the ball can be purchased for $3 from any ad vanced officer in ROTC. Spec tator tickets can be purchased for 75 cents. Beginning Monday, Nov. 27, tickets for the Military Ball will be sold in both Ag and city Unions, the conversation, soon dis covered that it was at the other home management house that she was expected. The first attempt at home management practice was made over 45 years ago, using a few rooms of the home economics building which was at that time also a dormitory. 1915 First Year Miss Maude Wilson obtained the first practice cottage in 1915. At this house, located near the Ag campus, the girls cleaned the houses, painted the woodwork and linoleum, made cheese cloth glass curtains, and purchased kitchen utensils to set up house keeping. Other houses used for home management laboratories were located at 2985 Holdrege and 1234 R street, the latter, a Uni versity owned house, was used from 1920 to 1936. In order to improve the appearance of the campus in 1934 the 12th and R street house was torn down along with several other houses. At this time the present home management house at 1600 R was established, a residence which also belonged to the Uni versity. The home at 3220 Starr was opened in 1938, being pur chased by the University in 1946. In these home management houses the girls are given ex perience in planning, controlling, and evaluating work. The house hold duties are analyzed, consid ering ways to make work fun. ators Debate rsity Budget Increase of 75 Per Cent In Tax Funds Questioned To increase University funds or not to increase them. That was the subject drawing a great share of lobby talk during the three-day meeting last week of the legis lative council. The 75 per cent increase in tax funds asked for the next biennium was the fuel. The salary increases proposed by the University to Dring it parallel witn other Big Seven schools probably will not be challenged too much by the budget committee. What is drawing much contro versy is the $2,181,706 item for expansion of the University's teaching, public service and re search programs during the next two years. Expanded Program This expanded program in cludes projects such as an agri cultural experiment substation for the Buckskin Hill region of northeast Nebraska; an expanded program in physics, bacteriology problems of Nebraska's small businesses; an advanced degree program in physics, bacterioligy and the romance languages; an activation of the engineering ex periment station; a public school teachers training program for physically handicapped children; a broad program of farm educa tion to help Nebraska agriculture gear itself to the Missouri basin development program; and de velopment of the instruction pro gram at the College of Medicine at Omaha. With the University's predic tion that enrollment in the next two years would decrease, many items in the University's request have been "watered" with "to be appointed" designations. Enrollment Drop The University estimates that enrollment will drop from about 7,800 this year to 7,615 next year and to 7,210 in 1952-53, the second year of the new budget figure. The salary increase and ex-panded-program are the largest items in the University's reguest for $6,188,829 from the general tax supported state fund for the next two years. Cost of these programs is di vided in the following manner: salaried faculty members, re searchers or extension specialists (for two years) $1,200,000; part time student and graduate stu dent assistance paid at hourly rate $150,000; $831,706 for equipment, supplies and adminis trative overhead. More Instructors The University has estimated that it will take 280 full time and part time persons to carry on these new projects. As an example in support of the school's statement that it must raise salaries to compete with neighboring institutions, a spokesman has compared the University with other Big Seven schools. The salary of an engineering professor who also is head of a department is $5,800 a year at the University. It is $6,500 at See Budget page 2 Dorothy 'AhsJ Steady 'Balis' Bobby's Kiss By Jerry Bailey "What's it like to be kissed by Bobby Reynolds?" A harried Dorothy Elliott will swear that she has been asked that question a thousand times since Friday night. In despera tion she has produced a stock answer that seems to cover the question quite well. She says, "Oooooooh . . . Neat!" The torrid osculation in ques tion occurred at the climax of the Kosmet Klub show. Dorothy and Bobby stepped out to be named Nebraska Sweetheart and Prince Kosmet, respectively. Kosmet Klub President Leon Pfeiffer handed Dorothy a bou quet of roses and kissed her on the lips. It was a mere peck. Reynolds then went into action, moving in close and putting his arm around Dorothy. Not Timed The calm but thorough buss that Bobby bestowed on the blushing Nebraska Sweetheart was not timed with a stop-watch, unfortunately. Conflicting re ports from witnesses indicate that it might have lasted from 30 to 45 seconds. Reynolds then coolly disen gaged himself and stepped back. Dorothy, somewhat dazed, looked up at him and gasped, "Were you supposed to do that?" "Yes," returned Bobby. In the meanwhile, Reynolds' steady gal, Sandra Walt, was herself exhibiting varied shades of the spectrum. She was not at all sure that she approved of what had happened. Sandra has tened backstage with other members of the audience. The rest of- the backstage visitors congratulated the Prince and the Sweetheart. What Sandra had to say was not a matter of public record. Observers did note that a close reconciliation between Bobby and Sandra was somewhat ham pered by the presence of one William Glassford. The latter, with a paternalistic air, was on the scene to see that Bobby has tened home to the sleep that a growing boy needs. Tuesday, November 21, 1950 Frenchman Lauds Work Of NUCWA This campus United Nations program was termed a vital step in educating the public about world affairs, Monday, by a Frenchman touring American schools and colleges. The visitor, Raymond Brugere, said that students occupied with United Nations teachings, later will form a more enlightened body capable of "making their voices heard." Brugere, sponsor ed by the Carnegie Endowment for Peace fund is visiting various institutions to examine possible methods of teaching student about U.N. Comparing teachings of the U. N. in this country to French methods, Brugere said education along this line in France started about a year ago in civics class es. About one lecture a month is devoted to the organization, he said. "It's up to the iniatitive of the instructor in most cases," he continued. French Methods Another method used In France, he explained, was for mation of clubs, generally called Friends of UNESCO or Interna tional clubs. When he left France there were about 40 of them. One idea he hopes to promote further in France, he says, is moving pictures. He believes they help make the people think about problems facing the world. Another step, he pointed out, was to get more actual teach ings of the U.N. in civics and modern history courses and en courage the number of clubs. Commenting o n NUCWA's spring conferences, the French man said the very fact that the student: tike time for the project is bound to make a difference in their thinking and interest in the United Nations. "It's surprising," he said, "to notice the difference in interest now of international affairs than in the twenties and thirties." At that time, he said, students had not the slightest interest in political life. Were Isolationists "Americans kept clear of In ternational relations," he pointed out, "and were isolationists." He attributed the change to World War II and the "painful results" and to what students and other groups are doing to increase public interest. The great danger today, he maintains, is the tendency to leave matters of politics and in ternational policy in the hands of "a few so-called specialists." He hopes the time will come, to a great degree the result of young citizens' interest, when the public will make its opinion influence the state department. Brugere met with various campus groups, students and fac ulty members to examine ways the University teaches students about the United Nations. Ag College Plans Stock Conference The Nebraska Livestock Breed ers' and Feeders' association will hold its annual meeting at the University, Nov. 30, during Farm and Home Days. Honor M.
