C.W. Rook, associate professor
of electrical engineering,
makes use of the electron mi
croscope presented to the Uni
versity by the University
Foundation. The microscope,
purchased at a cost of over $20,-
000, can magnify objects from
100 to 20,000 times. It is being
used in research projects by
University faculty members.
Powerful Microscope
'Bombards' Specimens
Electrons Give High Magnification
"The microscope opens a whole
new field of study and investiga
tion to the University, C. W.
Book, associate professor of elec
trical engineering, said of the
new electron microscope pur
chased last year.
This instrument, purchased by
the University Foundation for
$22,000, is capable of magnifying
an object from 100 to 20,000 times.
Rook is the only man on cam
pus qualified to operate this com
plicated microscope. He went on
to say that although it has this
tremendous power, it can be op
erated on a standard current and
Iron Works

Scholarships
Paxton and Vierling Iron Works
of Omaha will finance $500 schol
arships for two freshmen who en
roll in the College of Engineering

two recipients to obtain their de
grees.
EACH SUCCEEDING year, two
additional- scholarships will be

Sigma Alpha lota Holds
Anniversary Banquet
Sigma Alpha Iota, national mu
sic honorary sorority, held a ban
quet in the Union Thursday night.
. The program featured a report
of the convention and state day.
The banquet, attended by actives,
alumni and patronesses, com
memorated the founding of the
first chapter of the sorority at
Michigan in 1903.
Sigma Alpha lota was founded
on the University campus in 1915.
needs no special electrical tup-
ply.
THE ELECTRON microscope
is unique m that, instead of using
light for illumination as do ordi
nary microscopes, it bombards
the specimen with electrons, per
mitting the high point of magnification.
Rook said that the microscope
is available to any department
on campus but is used to a small
extent.
W. E. Militzer, dean of the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences, and
C. E. Georgi, professor of bac
teriology, are making use of the
microscope in their study of bac
teriological elements. It is also
used in a study of plant viruses
conducted by Ag College.
The microscope is located in
Ferguson Hall. Anyone can see it
by merely contacting Rook.

The latest fraternity on the
University campus, the first of a
unique hybrid variety, held an
unusual field trip last week.
Omicron Epsilon Pi, a new or
ganization, officially opened its
own formal season. Since the
avowed purpose of the group is
to have a good time, they re
fused to wait for the normal so
cial season opener the Military
Ban.
EIGHT MEMBERS, all highly
regarded at the University, have
lormed the mutually inclusive
and exclusive group. Many de
tails of the rlew group are secret.
However the members' names can
be revealed, if they are listed in
alphabetical order.
We have no seniority over
each other," one of the notable
members stated.
In alphabetical order, as re
quested, the members are:
Snooky Coryell, Frank Hallgren,
associate dean of student affairs.
Joyce Johnson, Cecilia Koehnke,
Marshall Kushner, Shirley Led
ingham, Stan Sipple and Van
Westover, assistant to the dean
of student affairs.
THE "OUTING" was held Nov.
20 when the. group journeyed by
train to the closest Midwestern
metropolis Omaha. Everyone
interviewed spoke about the weird
comments that passerby made as
they saw the OEPi group en
route. This was understandable,
considering they were attired,
rather inappropriately, in form
als and tux's. .
Nourishment was served in the
form of box lunches. Each lunch,
resembling "Fat Boy Elmer's"
specialty, with one exception.
consisted of one raw carrot, one
piece of celery, one banana and
one big, round cookie. Each
course was taken, in turn, with
adequate supplements between
each delicacy. '
ONCE IN the big town, the
OEPi octette ventured a few
blocks from the railroad station
down to Caniglia's Pizzaria to
partake of its famous speciality.
After proving themselves gour
mets, there remained but one
stop.
They visited Angelo s, sup
posedly to see Nellie Lutcher,
then appearing as guest star. By
this time, they had proved them
selves more than gourmets.
(Enough said about the latter
subject.-)
Returning to relatively quiet
Lincoln, all participated in
bridge tourney.
'
CONCERNING FUTURE inten
tions, one OEPi said, "We have
indefinite plans." As far as can
be determined at this tinfe, the
grqup intends to participate in
many worthy charity functions
"We plan to send a CARE pack
age to "Strictly Kushner s fa
vorite 'amico in Italia'," ans
wered one of the members. "Seri
ously, though, we will help in
some local charity drives," he
added.
On the agenda for the near fu
ture include such affairs as
balloon ascension, a feast of wild
meat and others bordering on
the unmentionable.
THE ESPRIT de corps of OEPi
is probably its most obvious trait,
Beyond merely peping up the nor
mal mundane events of student
life, (they consider them so
OEPi promises to do the Univer
sity immeasurable good. (It's a
good thing it s immeasurable
too).
All eight members have pledged
to stick together. Ostracism by
the group would be a most ter
rible thing," one OEPi mused
It must not be allowed to hap
pen to any of the founders or
founderesses .

wanted to read the letter and he
replies: "Because it's a fine piece
of English composition, and I'm

position. An obscure little class."
Pure Thurber and it was lost.
MOST OF the other characters
are fairly stock but fun. Richard
Marrs and William Klamm were
ideally cast as the former All-
American and the university
trustee, both breezy extroverts
who never permitted the action
to lag for a moment.
Marrs' big scene where he ex
plains the football game with
dishes as players on the floor
came off extremely well.
Again the arena theatre did
not do justice to the final action
of the scene when Tommy.

gusons up-raised hand.
The comic situation was ap
preciated as the laughter testi
fied, but some of us saw only
tne backs or the actors heads.
Barbara Leigh as Tommy's
wife does much to keep the plot
moving, but it isn't by any
means a role touched by Thyr
bers genius. To repeat, those
who knew Thurber'g drawings
can recognize Tommy, but Ellen
is not one of his females.
Both she and Ann Corcoran.
enacting the role of Barbara
Leigh's sister, brought the charm
and good looks that are required.
As a college girl type with a
great deal of sparkle and viva
city and few inhibitions, I
thought Ann Corcoran excellent.
Ruth Ann Richmond as Gwen
dolyn, the maid, received her
share of laughs and the recogni
tion was deserved.

"Nebraska revisited looks bet-
ter than ever. I'm just as sur
prised at this as any reader might
be,y said Norm Leger, journalist
turned dramatist and University
graduate.
Leger, editor of The Daily Ne
braskan in the spring of 1949 and
a past Innocents president, is
now "involved in the Circlet
Theater produtcion of 'The Wins-
low Boy'."
He said that he is "enjoying
this experience immensely . . .
rarely has it been my privilege
to work with such a congenial
and hard working director. Fur
thermore, all the years I went to
the University I attended Circlet
Theater productions. I suppose
you might say I'm finally getting
a chance to undo a thwarted de
sire to act at the Circlet."
THE FORMER Nebraskan ed
itor graduated in 1949 and in the
fall entered the Neighborhood
Playhouse School of the Theater
in New York City. He worked in
summer stock and graduated
from the New York school in the
spring of 1951. He then engaged
in another summer production.
Positions in dramatic produc
tions and a short tour on the New
York stage where he "moved
scenery" came up in the next
few years. During his absence
from the theater he worked for
the United Nations and practiced
his articulaton as an announcer,
disk-jockey and newscaster over
a southern radio station.
HE SPENT the summer of 1953
in summer stock in Fayetteville,
Pennsylvania, "just 20 miles
from Gettysburg, which is noted,
I believe, for some kind of war
fare and a speech that got quite
a bit of publicity."
After stock Leger decided to
"return to Sterling, Nebraska, and
pay the folks a visit. While home,
not being able to put down im
pulses of ham, I got myself in
volved in the Circlet Theater
productipn."
When asked why an ex-Ne-braskan
editor should go into the
theater, he answered, "I don't
think The Nebraskan should take
the blame. There are those who
say that my term as editor saw
more dramatic production in The
Nebraskan office 'and on the
front page than it did good jour
nalism. This may well be true,
and at this date I won't offer
too hearty a denial."
