Advance ticket sales to the Fred
Waring Concert end Wednesday.
Tickets are on sale in the Ag and

Waring and his Pennsylvanians
will present their concert in the
Coliseum Tuesday, March 3. The
group is taking a leave of absence
from television to tour the coun
try for the first time since 1937.
The Pennsylvanians were first
organized in 1916 by Waring and
his brother, Tom. It began as a
four man group and later grew to
11 who were known as "Waring's
Twelve Collegians." The , Waring
organization, as it is known now,
was first introduced on radio in
1933 and in 1949, Waring began
his television series.
Waring organized a music work
shop which last summer toured
across the nation and was at
tended by fifteen hundred choral
directors.
Waring is a trustee of Penn
State, his alma mater, and is? an
active member of the Lambs Club.

Outstaters Should See

"It's too bad that people out
state can't be with us today and
see the wide variety of things the
University of Nebraska is doing."
So stated Sen. Lester Anderson
of Aurora after he toured the
University city campus with the
Budget Committee of the Legis
lature, Monday.
Itfon visited modern
Fereuson Hall, electrical engin-i
eering building, where they saw
electron microscopes ana spei i
ized infra-red equipment.
"If they could see the many
things being studied and done in
these departments, they'd be re
assured about how the tax money
is being spent," Sen,
Anderson
added.
The group also tdured the Den
tal College and watched students
at work on bridges and molars;
inspected the chemical engineer
ing laboratory; stopped at the new
botany green house; visited new
museum rooms in Morrill Hall;
and viewed archeological arti
facts in the laboratory of anthro
pology. Chancellor R. G. Gustavson
showed the group where the new
$1 million Teachers College High
School is to be built on Vine St.
This building and an estimated
$600,000 addition to the Teachers
College building are two of the
major structures planned for the
coming biennium. The third is a
$1.5 million psychiatric unit at the
Medical College in Omaha, the
Chancellor said.
Sites of the new mens' dorm
itories, upon wiikh construction
will start this year, were shown to
the committee. Including 220
housed in University men1? dorm
itories already, these buildings at
15th and S Sts. will provide quar

Interested students should write
for application forms to Commit

atories, Culver City, Los Angeles
County, California, with the final
date for submitting completed ap
plications Feb. 28.
Under the plan, successful can
didate will spend half their time
in advanced study to complete
their Master's Degree either at
the University of California at Los
Angeles or the University of
Southern California.
During the school year, the In
dividual's remaining time will be
spent working in the Hugfies lab

During the summers of 1953 and
1954 students will be employed on
a full-time basis in the labora

same basis as for full-time engi

Approximately 100 cooperative

Some students have expressed 21 and those under the age limit,
opinions concerning the city's beer
and liquor laws and the enforce

been discussing.
Dan Dodson, freshman in Arts
and Sciences, suggested that for
the first offense of the city's beer
and liquor laws, there should be
no fine or publicity.
Instead, said Dodson, the stu
dent's intellect should be appealed
to; and the administration should
deal with students as having the
capacity to think and realize what
good can come frpm drinking
"which is absolutely nothing."
Dodson feels that on the Becond
offense students should be treated
with the full penalty for illegal
drinking.
If the limit were lowered to 18
for beer purchasing only, Dodson
feels that the situation would be
eased. He cited the University of ,
Colorado as having comparatively!
less trouble with drunkeness be-
cause of the lower age limit.

Civilizations
The possibility of combining
Eastern and Western culture will
be discussed by Robert K. Sakai
at a student-factulty seminar in
the faculty Lounge of the Union
Monday, Feb. 16, at 4 p.m.
Mr. Sakai, instructor in His
tory, is an American born Japa
nese and received his Masters de
gree last yar from Harvard Uni
versity. In September, he in
troduced for the first time at the
University a language course in
Japanese. His history lecture
courses are based on Far Eastern
civilization.
Monday's seminar, the first in
a series to be held during the
semester, is sponsored by the
Union Convocations committee
headed by Jean Davis. Ann Skold
is chairman of the seminar and
her assistant is Madeline Gourlay.
Miss Davis said the seminars are
open to all interested faculty
members and students.
When asked about the number
of violators, Chief of Police Joe
-Carroll told The Nebraskan that
there have been three or four vio
lators in the past two weeks.
The Chief said that a crack
down on students' violations of
liquor laws was, "possible and
probable."
Students Express Opinions
On Liquor Enforcement Laws
there is bound to be illegal drink'
ing and purchasing of liquor and
beer.
Dodson pointed out that if the
age limit were lowered, officials
should be more harsh with drunk
eness and drunken driving.
Because the administration has
to enforce the present laws, he
feels that unhealthy relations are
created between it and the stu
dents. Barbara Adams, junior i n
Teachers, said that restrictions are
necessary. She feels that students
are given more blame than other
people their age, which is unfair
considering the number of under
age Lincoln residents who pur
chase liquor and ure not students
of the University.
She considers tne $100 fine fair,
and believes that the present laws
should be enforced.
Chuck Ferguson, freshman in

He emphasized that freshmen es

change because they are often so

These mid-semester warnings
will enable advisors to meet with

The renumbering of courses and

James L. Sellers, chairman of the

chines will handle 0-9. However,
the use of anything but three

this scheme, the old system would
have to be avoided entirely and
the use of a new one initiated.
However, in the case of a new re

difficult to keep. Finally, the
committee recommended that the
Senate stop its action on renum

The committee's recommenda

The committee on Builder's
Awards recommended that C.
Peters Peterson be given the 1953

University and afterwards spent
seven terms as a member of the
state legislature. In 1945 he was
speaker of the unicameral. In re
cent years he helped found the
Nebraska Reclamation Associa

1951-52. An elder statesman and
leading lawyer of Nebraska, the
Senate approved Mr. Peterson
nomination for the award.
Committee reports from the
committee on honorary degrees,

appeals stated that 233 students
