Kathleen Dili Spends Summer
At Chicago Recreation Center
By JANE RANDALL
Feature Editor
"It was more of an education
for me than actual work."
This was the statement of
Kathleen Dill, International
House, In telling of her expe
nences at tne rioweu House, a
type of playground center, where
she worked this summer.
This house, located in Chicago,
served as one of the city's 12
recreation centers. According to
Miss Dill, the centers were set up
to accomplish three major objec
tives to combat overcrowded
conditions in the home, to thwart
racial and religious prejudice and
to promote a good foundation for
religious education.
"We operate with the idea that
the house is their home and the
center of their community," ex
plained Miss Dill.
Although Miss Dill worked
there only seven weeks, she ad
mitted that she saw quite a bit
of active duty. She spent her
mornings with the younger
children and her afternoons
either as an observer or super
visor of the junior girls' recrea
tion period. Her evenings were
occupied with teenage activities.
She said that there was a staff
of about 16 living in the one house
where she worked. She added,
however, that there were 30 or
40 college students working in the
various recreation houses of Chicago.
"I - worked with the agreement
to exchange my services for board
and room," Miss Dill said, and in
addition they gave me a personal
course in social work in Chicago."
Miss Dill received her posi
tion through the Board of Na
tional Missions, a religious or-
ganization that is partially
sponsored by the Presbyterian
church. She received her direct
connection through the Presby
House at the University.
"It was in complete contrast
with the position which I held the
summer before," Miss Dill said.
A year ago she was associated
with a Bible school project In the
mountain areas in Tennessee and
North Carolina. This work, she
added, entailed visits to the homes
of mountain people and extended
trips through the region. It was
also sponsored by the National
Board of Missions.
Miss Dill is a junior in the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences. She is
a philosophy major,
KNUS Issues Call-Needed:
Potential Radio Personalities
BY MARILYN MANGOLD
Staff Reporter
Are you interested in radio
work? In the radio department's
quest for new workers this field
is not limited to radio and speech
majors.
In an audition before the
radio, staff applicants may find
that they possess undiscovered
talents in the entertainment
world. In the past, non-radio
and non-speech majors have
been reluctant to make their
presence known in the speech
department. This is an erroni
ous feeling.
Anyone wanting to do practical
broadcast work should report to
Radio Studios A and B in the
basement of the Temple from
4 to 5 p. m. today or Wednesday.
Thursday, from 3 p. m. will be the
last chance to try out.
The winners will be chosen by
the radio staff on the basis of
talent, voice and personality pro
jection. They will be notified
within a week after tryouts.
Gaylord Marr, radio department
head, adds that if you are not
notified within the week, it may
be that a different type of voice
is needed. Especially needed are
young men with mature voices.
The Voice of the Campus,
radio-station KNUS, is directed
by University radio staff. Stu
dents are the actors, managers
and stage hands. Last year
"Johnny's Pop Shop" was one
of the most popular KNUS pro
grams. It was a disc jockey
show produced and managed by
the top announcer, a psychology
major.
Frank Jacob's jazz show was
another of the top programs. His
show was especially interesting
during the Kosmet Klub's spring
musical. He played many of the
hits from "Good News" and told
the story of the "Roaring Twenties."
"Authors of the Ages" is a pro
gram especially enjoyed in cen
tral Nebraska. It is a weekly dra
matic series and its present radio
adaptations of novels, plays and
short stories. Its purpose is to
make cultural entertainment
available to its listeners. Now in
its sixth year of broadcasting "Au
thors of the Ages" has presented
"Don Quixote" and "Carmen."
There will be a place for all
on KNUS if one can dance, sing,
play a musical instrument, read
poetry, or just plain "talk-a-lot."
One does not need to bring
special equipment to an audi
tion unless one has a specialty
act. Vocalists are requested to
bring their own accompanists.
One may be a star on the new
half hour weekly variety show
planned for this year, a potential
announcer or disk jockey. After
all, Bill Stern did it!

Staff Reporter
Girls, women and females,
there is good news today! You
may flunk tests, walk in the rain
or even get drafted, but still there
is good news today. Despite ef
forts of the army, navy, air force,
marines and stingy fathers, there
are still many, many men left on
campus.
According to the latest unoffi
cial reports which have not yet
been released, the men outnum
ber the women 3'A to one. With
odds like that, how can you lose?
On the other hand, what can you
win?
A man is a man is a man
according to one authority, but
that person must have been an
optimist.
Discounting the married man
(1), the too-short boy (2), and
the complete deadhead (3), what
do you have left? The one-fourth.
Now this could mean one man
every four weeks, or a date with
four girls and one male. Anyway
you look at it, it doesn't' sound
good
There are several solutions to
this age-old problem or so I'm
told. The air base will open
soon. Then the campus will be
overrun by officers and gentle
men. That's two different
species, according to rumor.
While waiting, it might be a
good idea to put your name on
the list over at the ROTC build
ing. A lot of men hang out around
there, and they would probably
go for a couple of good telephone
numbers.
One more word of advice:
Don't use up your ZVt quota
too soon. Remember, that's all
there is, there ain't no more.
And they have to last for a
whole year.
If something happens and you
are sitting home some Saturday
night (nasty thought), remember
men aren't everything. Why,
there must be dozens of girls who
stag it out to King's or go it
alone. And take ilt from them, it's
awful.

"Try, try again," is the motto
stoutly followed by JJon "lot
Holmes, University sophomore,
Holmes is a baseball lover and
a Dodger fan. Since his sopho
more year in high school, he has
hoped to become a member of a
big league ball club. ,
His efforts and hopes are be
ginning to materialize for at the
end of this semester, Holmes
will sign a contract with the
Dodger's class D team in Ponca
City, Okla.
As a high school sophomore,
Holmes journeyed to Kearney to
try-out with the team. After a day
of throwing baseballs and catch
ing, he went home to Gothenburg
with his shattered dreams. Try
outs were a week's process and he
could only stay a day.
Years went by in which he
played football, basketball, base
ball and track for his alma mater
at Gothenburg. He was center
fielder for the Gothenburg Rock
ets, en amateur ball club. He and

another University student, Carl
Kostbahn, were named all-star
players in the 1951 league.
When he entered college,
Holmes thought, "Here's where
I can really make good!" But
after six weeks of indoor run
ning practice during cold
weather, he emerged for the
first outdoor practice, only to be
cut from the freshman team the
following day.
Holmes had received a letter the
previous summer inviting him to
try out in Ponca City for the
Dodger team, there. He answered
the call thiss ummer with a little
three day jaunt for tryout pur
poses. The manager sent him out to
the field to catch a few fly balls,
The batter swung and the ball
came soaring into Holmes' terri
tory. Should he run up for it or
get it on the bounce? A split de
cision did the trick for the ball
bounced up and hit his glasses.
shattering them and cutting his
eye.
Home he went without even
getting a chance at swinging a
bat. However, the Dodgers were
kind to the husky blonde lad.
He was to have another chance.
They sent him to Omaha to try
out with the Pueblo Dodger
team after their game.
He spent one evening in Omaha
watching a double header which
left no time for tryouts. The next
night, he had his second chance
and made good. Dodgers, here he
comes!
When asked his favorite ball
star, Holmes replied, "Any
Dodger." He's rooting for them in
the coming series against the Yan
kees and seems completely confi
dent that they will win.
