The Melodiers Interview the patients In the wards, finding out whnt'ar thir favorite tunes and to whom they want them dedi cated. The men seem to like such numbers as "Mocking Bird Hill, "Beautiful Brown Eyes" and "Tennessee Waltz. The men seem to go along with the num ber one tunes on the Hit Parade. Recordings Made After th visitor to th wards. the three girls wend their way to the studio, where tney oegin to pull the recordings and trans criptions from the files. In a few minutes, they go on the air. The whole show Is completely ad-lib except for the opening and clos ing Each show has a mystery mel ody which the patients try to Identify either the song or the artist. Sometimes the girls con fuse the patients by playing background music and singing themselves. One day they did this and the patients Identified them s the Dinning Sisters. Prizes for guessing the mystery melody are free cigarettes which are distributed by the Melodiers alter the show. No one knows what the Melo- Sign at KNUS States Their Philosophy, 'Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here By Connie Gordon A fiery horse like the speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a thundering, "My gawd, why didn't you tell me that my pro gram was scheduled for today"; KNUS rides again! The little saga of human life and emotions took place in the University's radio station, KNUS, when one lost soul didn't attend a KNUS staff meeting and there fore, this inside dope didn't get the inside dope concerning his radio show. This is one of the many inci dents that occur daily in the of fices of KNUS. KNUS Is located in the Base ment of the, Temple building. The main office of KNUS is located under a set of stairs that lead to the first floor of the building. Door to Hell The KNUS office room used to have a sign that was taken from Dante's "Inferno." Dante put the siw over the door to hell, but the KNUS put the sign in their office; it read, "Abandon all hooe, ye who enter here." Needless to say, after working at KNUS for a few months, many were ready to abandon hope. The sturdiest of the radio stu dents must have had a greater supply of fortitude and hope, for most of them paid little heed to the sign and'entered anyway. Being one of those who never pays attention to signs, I entered and saw the scenes behind the $cenes of KNUS in action. Ah, what color! What drama! What ! I was about to throw some scraps of paper on the office floor, when I glanced up and saw a sign printed in bright (unless I'm color-blind) red letters, tell ing me and everyone else who entered the KNUS premises to "Keep it clean, both KNUS and the language." The KNUS office is usually filled with those who are wait ing to use a typewriter, those who are waiting five minutes un til their program goes on the air, FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE Laboratory classes meeting for several continuous hours on one or two days shall meet for examinations as follows: Classes meeting on Monday and Tuesday shall be examined on the date scheduled for the first hour of their laboratory meeting; Wednesday or Thursday classes on the second hour of their meeting; Friday or Saturday classes on the third hour.

They call themselves the Melodiers. Their program goes on the V-A radio Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons. Records are played by the request of the patients. The Melodiers are sponsored by the Red Cross College Unit. diers go through to' put their show on for the Vets unless you talk to them yourself. On Mon days and Wednesdays they have about three minutes to get to the studio from the bus. Many times they have gone on the air with a dead mike when they forgot to or those who are waiting to ask Gaylord Marr, KNUS manager, a question. No Voice Lois Nelson, program director, was there, but she wasn't too talkative. She had an excellent reason she lost her voice. So, in the midst of sign lan guage, banging typewriters, bits of various conversations, and the voice of KNUS blaring over the loud-speaker, I decided to leave quietly and go visit the radio studios of KNUS. I paid no heed to the signs that told me not to smoke and lit up, anyway. But, KNUS was one step ahead of me. As I entered the door that leads to the studios, I saw a sign glaring me madly in the face, that shouted, "Come on you read the sign" (how "did they know) "Take that Back Out!" The asterisk placed after the word "that" was explained a lit tle further down in the sign it named different . brands of cigarettes. I sheepishly put out my cig arette and proceeded into the studios. I heard choice bits of Bob Volmer's program, "Music ally Yours," plus bits of radio talk that meant nothing to me. All that I do know is that "On the Air" means on the air, and "Off the Air" means off the air. Conflicting Conflicts I waited a few minutes and then walked into the control room just in time to see the "Janie and Jo" show going on the air. These two girls interview a campus celebrity each weeK. i thought it sounded rather easy to just talk for fifteen minutes. Janie and Jo told me that It was; tne hard part, they said, was finding someone to talk with each week. It seems that everyone has con flicting conflicts (redundant, isn't it). KNUS functions beautifully, In spite of the many obstacles that are cotninually being put in its way.

But, confusion doesn't reign, In spite of romantic antics of one radio Romeo who has earned the reputation of being the greatest thing since Rin-Tin-Tin (typo graphical error) Rudolph Valen tino. 4-H Clubbers To Meet May 29 Four-H Club Week starts May 29 in Nebraska.

Broad Training Is Necessary Dean Green Enginecrinsr education should be concerned both with training young men as competent special ists and as good citizens of high moral character. So said Dean Roy M. Green of the University College of Engin eering and Architecture before the Saturday afternoon session of the Nebraska Engineering soci ety's twentieth annual roundup being held in Lincoln. Seven Principles Dean Green told the Society the college's educational program is built upon seven busic principles. They are: 1. Each student is treated ss an individual. 2. The educational process starts at the level where the student finds himself at the time of entrance. 3. The course of study aims at giving the student a foundation for a fruitful career, not simply to make him a specialist. 4. The training program Is geared at a rapid pace, requiring the student to exert himself if he is to successfully complete the course. 5. The course is comprehensive enough so the student may get a broad education about the laws of man and nature to enable him to analyze problems with strict fidelity and make competent judgements. 6. The graduate of the college should be able to promptly work effectively on his first job, and be a rapid and earger "learner." 7. The graduate should be ready and willing to cooperate with others in his profession and with citizens in other walks of life, in order to "protect and im prove the condtions necessary for a free society." Other speakers were Ralph E. Raikes of Ashland, and Earl Luff, Lincoln, society president. The Roundup ends Saturday evening at the annual banquet at which Dr. Jay Buchta of the University of Minnesota will speak. Faculy to Give Ed Seniors Spring Tea A turnabout version of that old saw, "An apple for the teacher," will take place Sunday afternoon when the Teachers college fac ulty entertains the college sen iors at their annual spring tea. All prospective June graduates of the college are invited to at tend the event. It will be held in the Student Union lounge from 3-5 p.m. Dean and Mrs. Frank E. Henz lik will greet student guests. All members of the Teachers college faculty will also be on hand to renew acquaintances with the seniors. A string quartette from the School of Music will play during the two-hour social gathering. Arrangements for the tea are being made by members of the student Teachers College Advis ory Committee to the Dean, with faculty assistance. Sue Koehler is chairman of the committee, made up of students from the various divisions of the Univer sity's largest college. Any senior who has not yet received an invitation to the event is urged to contact Dean Henzlik's office in person or by phone. Invitations were mailed out about a week ago. Ivy Day . . .

Answer Problems outstanding or those showing the most promise are invited to par ticipate in the counselling of fr.-v,men during their senior year. Two-fold Venture The idea behind the new ven ture is two-fold. It helps the freshman get acquainted with the many activities and traditions on campu and gives the coun selor exnericn?e in dividual con tact and keeping record of guid ance. The counselces are guided along five fields of planning: life and vocation goals, intellectual areas .social life, leadership, and development of creative instincts. The project was started five years ago, but this is the first year that it has been organized into a definite lab and lecture course. N. IT. a Leader It is the only course of its kind in the United States and as the project develops, it has shown shown great promise. Educators have, long insisted that in any school, the more advanced should be used to help guide the begin ners. Nebraska, a leader in pro gressive education, is helping to prove this theory. The course isn't all theory and work, however. The ron"':pUi"? sessions themselves are informal affairs where cl',r-!-"-term papers, activities, dating and cverv oth' c-.v-. , Hnc out of school are discussed. One of the prob!o,-. ,t was never solved, though, whs th;1t of a young f ., ' - 'madly in love' with her coun selor. Her heart was b .1 when she found out he wn.s pinned. The course wasn't in vain, however. She got a 7 out of the course and is now going steady with her counselor's brother. NU Graduate Receives Insurance Company Post Charles M.
