Scholarships, Grants-In Aid
Available to Undergraduates
By Amy Palmer
Your candid reporter had quite.
an experience today. The basket
ball tournament has brought both
eager fans and happy high school
students to Lincoln for a few
days of tension as their favorite
team fights it out on the floor.
Everywhere you go there are
high school fans giving their all
for their team, usually in a verbal
manner: In the coliseum they
present a motley scene of red,
green, gold, purple and every
other color in and out of the;, rain
bow which represents ' their
school.
The question asked most of the
young enthusiasts was, do you
think you're going to win? From
the lowiest of the class D schools
to the all-powerful A teams, the
answer was always an emphatic
yes! Such spirit is encouraging
to any team. Let's hope some of
it stays on- campus.
The union has become the
hangout for a great many of the
between-games crowd. There are
dances, meetings and just plain
relaxation for all those who want
to take advantage of the situation.
Builders has done a terrific job
in keeping these prospective Uni
versity students on campus. They
have offered tours, get-togethers
and other enticements that help
"sell" the U.
The dance Thursday afternoon
was just one of many entertain
ments offered. Music was by rec
ord only, but there was a large
crowd. Tassels and Builders'
workers encouraged everyone to
dance and gave cokes away to
those who wouldn't.
Coach Glassford was on hand to
welcome everyone at a short pro
gram which was emceed by Hank
Cech, He introduced several of
Nebraska's N Club members who
represented various sports and
then spent twice as much time
introducing the Calendar girls.
Numbers were drawn and sev
eral lucky high school boys
danced with Nebraska queens.
On the dance floor conversation
was about home towns, impulsive
bets about the outcome of the
games, and the inevitable ques
tion, "What are you doing after
the game?"
So it goes during tournament
time. You meet people, forget
people; cheer for the team and
boo the referee.
These are the high school kids
you've been seeing on campus
lately. They're young and happy
ana lull ot enthusiasm. Thev're
following their hometown team to
the state basketball tournament.

Supporters of Proposed Ag Council
Suggest Governing Board Amendment

VETERANS ADMINISTRATION offlc
Backers of the proposed "Ag
Council" have recently advocated
a special All-Ag campus election
to consider an amendment to the
Ag Exec board constitution that
will abolish the all-campus vote
and allow each organization on
Ag campus elect a member to
the larger governing body.
Bob Raun doubts whether the
proposal could be drawn up for
an agreeable constitution and be
ready for the necessary all-student
vote In time for Ag college's
spring election.
At the Ag Exec joard meeting
last week, Raun stated plans
should begin to elect Ag Exec
board members in case the plan
does not go through.
proposed "Ag Council" could be
set up so it could go into effect
next year.
The discussion centered around
the currently hot issue on Ag
campus, an amendment to the Ag
Exec board constitution allowing
all Ag organizations to select a
bona fide representative to the
board.
At present, organizations are
invited to a delegate to the meet
ings. However, he has not vot
ing power or cannot serve on
committees. But he can take back
to his organization information of
Ag Exec activities. Many stu
dents believe this is very im
portant.
At present, Ag Exec board
members are chosen by an all

ROTC Symphonic Band Gives Concerts
At Kearney, Curtis, Sidney, North Platte
Flying cards, clarinets and suit
cases marked the concert tour
taken by 90 members of the Ne
braska ROTC symphonic band.
On the bus trip to Kearney,
Curtis, Sidney and North Platte,
the card games, which varied
from "I Doubt It" to bridge, in
which the members of the band
were interrupted by clarinets and
suitcases unexpectedly falling
from the luggage rack. The clari
nets and suitcases were mixed
with flying cards as the bus
rounded a sharp curve.
Absent Minded Players
Saxophone players seem to be
as absent minded as professors.
The band members were as
sembled at the Sidney auditorium
when an alto saxophone player
discovered he had left his shoes
at the home of the host. He
made a speedy trip to the house
to retrieve his shoes, returning
to the auditorium a few minutes
after the concert was scheduled
to begin. The late arrival of
Prof. Don Lentz allowed the
player to calmly return to his
front row seat.
Lodgings, meal and transporta
tion from the depot for the band
members was provided by the
Rotarians of Kearney, Curtis,
North Platte and Sidney.
Upon arrival in North Platte,
the band assembled in the town
square to pHy various Nebraska
songs. During intermission of the

stances awards have not been
made for the lack of candidates.
An average grade of 7 or above

More than 500 high school jun
iors and seniors swelled the pop
ulation at the University College
of Agriculture Friday for the
home economics department's
Hospitality Day.
The event is designed to inter
est youths in professional home
economics fields. Dr. Doretta
Schlaphoff, chairman of the de
partment, said the day is used as
part of a program to ease the
shortage of teachers, dieticians
and other professional workers in
home economics.
Teacher Shortage
Miss Schlapphoff told the stu
dents that more than half of Ne
braska's high schools, which
want vocational home econom
ics teachers, do not have them
because of the shortage. There
are only about 90 vocational
homemaking teachers in the
state, she said. She added that
the department gets a request
for a qualified dietician at least
once a week.

Campus Tour
The group of high school girls
toured the food and nutrition
laboratories and witnessed the
work of students who will enter
the home economics field. They
also toured Love hall, the coop
erative girls' dormitory, the child
development laboratory and the
library. One of the highlights
was a style show where students
modeled dresses of their own de
sign. The girls were welcomed to
the campus by Dr. W. V. Lam
bert, dean of the College of Ag
riculture. Hostesses in charge of
the groups included Miss Bar
nell, Jeanne Vierk and Clarice

was chairman of the program
committee. '
evening concert, Charlie Toogood
was awarded the "College
Achievement Award," presented
annually by the Rotarians to the
outstanding North Platte college
student.
Harp Solo
The program presented for the
citizens of Kearney, Curtis, North
Platte and Sidney included "Sym
phony of the New World," first
movement, by Dvorak; "Oberon,"
von Weber; and a harp solo by
Bonnie Weddell in "La Rougeite,"
Bennete.
A trumpet octet was composed
of Denny Schneider, Lewis For
ney, Herman Larsen, Tom Durm,
Bob Blue, John McElhaney, Jim
Boettcher and Bob Wolf.
The first part of the program
was rounded out with "Les
Prelude" by Liszt.
The second part comprised of
more modern music included "A
Solemn Music," Virgil Thompson;
"Tronical" and "Hillbilly," Mor
ton Gould; "Italian Polka," Rach
maninoff; and "Martinique," Mor-
rissey.
Novelty Numbers
Two novelty numbers added a
highlight of humor to the con
cert. A male glee club, made up
of 12 members of the band, sang
"McNamara's Band," while bas
soon, trumpet, base drum, flute,
trombone and cymbal players
marched through the audience
playing the music. The glee club,
under the direction of Aaron
Schmidt, also sang the alum's
march song "Hail Nebraska,"
written by W. A. Ackerman,
prominent Sidney business man.
"March of the Bears" was pre
sented at the Sidney concert in
honor of Alvin Duis, composer of
the song. The number was under
the direction of Bob Duis, son of
the composer.
The ROTC symphonic band
was received enthusiastically at
each concert, playing an average
of five encores at each performance.
ular "Ag Council" proposal would
like to see a larger council with
its members coming from Ag de
partmental,, religious and hon
orary organizations.
In fact, under the proposal an
it stands now, any club with 15
members and meeting once a
could have one member on the
governing body. A second mem
ber could come from organiza
tions sporting at least 50 more
regular attending members.
Dr. C. E. Rhoad, formerly a
member of the vocational agri
culture department staff, had
spoken favorably for the new
form of representation at the pre-.
vious. meeting of Ag Exec board.
Whittler . stresses that the
change to the more popular form
of representation could come
about through merely an amend',
ment to the present constitution.
Rauns' Example
Raun, however, believed that
a whole new constitution was
necessary to form the new gov
erning group. No proof was cited
for this statement.
He cited as example, however.
his experience with the Student
Council Undoubtedly, he con
tinued, we would encounter the
same representation problems on
Ag campus.
Whittler's proposal, however,
included a clause that would set
a sort of interim council similar
to what the city campus has at
the present time. The function of
this group, then, vould be to
draw up its own constitution.
What the backers of the new
proposal want to do now, he em
phasized, is plan a means of stag
ing a special election of all Ag
students on the amendment to
the Ag Exec constitution provid
ing for the new organizational
representation.
