Student Designs
Set For Display
Six sets and project plans for
the new addition to the Student
Union building will be on display
Friday in the Union lounge.
The stuudents submitting these
plans are from the Intermediate
Architectural Design class in
structed by James Porter.
Student plans were judged and
prizes of $25, $15 and $10 were
given to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place
winners. The team of Nester
Acevedo and Bob Beckenhauer
won 1st prize, Robert Krumwiede
wnn 2nd and the team of John E.
Peterson and Harold L. Tarr, 3rd
prize.
Judges of the contest were
L. B. Smith, head of the de
partment of architecture; 'James
Porter, instructor and adviser
to students who submitted
plans; Erick Jensen, professor
of architecture; Philip Corkill,
instructor; student members,
Marge McCoy and Ernie Bebb;
i Roger Larson, assistant direc
tor, and Duane E. Lake, man
aging director of the Union.
Lake said construction would
probably be delayed because of
the necessity of renovation and
modernization of the present
building and other factors such
as finances and low enrollment
resulting in low income. Previ
ous plans were to build next
spring.
Lake said enrollment should
go up gradually from 1954 to
1960. Also, construction costs
will be extremely high In Lin
coln with the construction of
new mens dorms, the air base
and city schools in the immedi
ate future. And since the Ko
rean War, financial rates are
up. It would be inadvisable to
compete with such a high rate
of construction.
The Union Board has approved
a plan for limited architectural
competition. Five or six major
professional architectural firms
will be invited to submit prelimi
nary studies and drawings to be
handled by the local chapter of Plans for the mock General As
the American Institute of Archi-.sembly, which is scheduled for

Humorous

Staff Reviewer
This is certainly not the time
to discuss the merit of W. Somer-
set Maugham's The Circle as al
piece of strong theatre. The play,
o Kaht nnmmontarv nn Fnsiish
manners and morals, filled with
dialogue that is often witty, often
sparkling and clever, and occa
sionally just plain dull. In most
respects the University Theatre
production of the play which
opened last night for an eight
performance run, more than met
whatever demands were made by
the script.
David Hayes, directing his
' first production for University
Theatre, has staged the play
with decided emphasis on the
light and humorous elements
and one of the outstanding fea
tures of the production is the
fluidity of Its movement. Even
in cases where the playwright
was lax in this respect the di
rector was not.
Marv. Stromer was completely
convincing as Lord Porteous. In

The men rushing upstairs, raid

captured lingerie.
When the houses locked their
doors, the men used ladders to
gain access to second floor win
dows. The Lincoln police sent three
cruisers to patrol the area, but
neither they nor tne campus po
lice could control the mob. Then
the men proceeded from the cam
pus to down-town Lincoln where
they entered two theaters.
One night of festivities appar
ently wasn't enough because the
raid was reDeated the next night.
This time T. J. Thompson, then
dean of student affairs, was

Dean Thompson blamed Uni

for the riot:
"They may have locked their
doors, but they left their win
dows open," he said.
The men's dormitory held a
rummage sale May 5 so that
the coeds could retrieve their
missing lingerie, but only six
girls came to the sale. The rest
of the clothing was turned over
to Marjorie Johnson, dean of
women.
The raid made headlines in pa

helped set off a series of panty
raids that spread to universities
and colleges from California to

Truman Asks MacArthur
WASHINGTON President Truman has asked Gen. Douglas
MacArthur to advise him "at once" of any "reasonable" plan for
ending the Korean War. The President did not mention MacArthur
by name, but his new secretary said there was "no question" that
Tr"uman was referring to the general.
Meanwhile, it was announced that President-elect Eisenhower
and Gen. MacArthur have agreed to pool their military and diplo
matic knowledge in an eflort to end the Korean War. A Tokyo
paper said the generals will meet "either in Hawaii or on the West
Coast." It said Eisenhower "will call on MacArthur for advice, may
possibly ask him to return to Korea and either head or advise"
UN forces there.
Mac Should Submit Plan
WASHINGTON A high civilian official in the Defense Depart
ment said MacArthur should submit any strategy proposals to the
Pentagon "without further ado and without making a speech about
it." The officials, whose name cannot be used, said MacArthur is
still on the Army's payroll and it was MacArthur's duty to volunteer
his views; He said it "would not be dignified for the Army to go
to one of its employees and ask him for his ideas."

PARIS Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway says the 50 Allied divisions
stationed in Western Europe are not enough to defend against Com

gave warning to the NATO military committee. He said he had
enough troops and planes to form a defensive "shield" around
Western Europe, but that his armies could not resist an all-out
Russian drive by 175 recently modernized divisions. Adm. Lynde D.
McCormick, NATO naval commander in the Atlantic, said that Al

has a fleet of 500 submarines.

talk in his Monday statement.
Since the course isn't being

the book and instructor will be
