Three M Representatives
Mend National IK ileef
Exchanging ideas on the over
all improvement of the fraternity
system across the nation was the
main business of the day at the
Nat 1 o n a 1 Interfraternity Council
in Philadelphia, Bill Devries, Ne
braska IFC president, said.
Devries, along with Frank Hall
gren, associate dean of student
affairs, and William Campbell,
secretary of the Nebraska IFC,
was a delegate to the Council from
the University.
Russia
'Populace
Does Not
Want War'
"The people of Russia do not
want war," said a Russian instruc
tor who left her homeland 10 years
ago, "but what the rulers want, I
do not know."
Mrs. V a 1 e n tine Suprunowicz,
graduate assistant teaching Rus
sian, said she believes the Russian
people want a more liberal gov
ernment. She does not, however,
foresee a revolution because the
citizens have little liberty to accu
mulate secretive power.
The death of Andrei Vishinsky
will not produce a startling change
in the governmental hierarchy, she
said. "Vishinsky is gone, but some
one just like him will be his suc
cessor," she commented.
There are noticeable differences
between Russian and American so
cial activities, she brought out.
"Russians do much more serious
reading than Americans. They
have access to and read English,
American, French and German
classics, but they do not publish
pocketbook editions."
Attendance at classical plays is
more regular than in the United
States, the immigrant said.
Russian movies "tend to educate
the people, and you can imagine
along what lines."
Contrary to her previous impres
sions, Mrs. Suprunowicz said she
did not find the typically-pictured
hurrying American. "Americans
seem to have time to watch tele
vision," she observed.

"Tie National IFC is merely an
advisory group," Devries said.
The Council serves as a coming
together of delegates from col
leges and fraternities all over the
nation.
On the graduate level the Na
tional IFC includes a house of del
egates made up of the national
president or some representative
from every national fraternity. As
a group they take an over-all look
at the national fraternity system.
By pooling funds, the graduate
group has a backlog of money to
use in research and programs to
improve the national system.
On the undergraduate level the
Council is made up of the presi
dent and delegates from Inter
fraternity Councils on more than
400 college campuses across the
nation.
The undergraduates hold panel
discussions on subjects fraterni
ties are interested in, such as rush
ing, scholastics, fraternity and
university interactions and public
relations.
Delegates Hallgren and Camp
bell journeyed to the warm wa
ters of Bermuda during Thanks
giving holidays before the Coun
cil met in Philadelphia. Devries
met the pair in New York City,
and they went on to Philadelphia
together.
The most interesting ideas dis
cussed were on public relations
and scholarship, Devries said.
Some IFCs have good ideas on
promoting and raising the frater
nity scholarship level on their re
spective campuses, he added.
UnionOpen
House Party
Draws 1200
An estimated 1200 students at
tended the Union's Open House
Christmas Party Wednesday eve
ning. A crowded ballroom, a well-filled
Crib and Round-Up Room, and
students milling in the halls char
acterized the entire evening.
Comments ranged from a beam
ing freshman's "It's wonderful"
to a senior's statement, "having a
terrific time dancing."
According to Duane E. Lake,
managing director of the Union,
"The party was one of the best
attended Christmas Open Houses
in recent years. We were happy
with the way the students stayed
for the entire evening."
Included in the evening's activi
ties was a selection of Christmas
carols sung by the Lincoln High
Girls Octet, a magic show and
cartoon movies.
Students danced to the music of
the Jimmy Phillips Orchestra in
the Union Ballroom. The Trend
Four provided music in the Round
Up Room. Refreshments were also
served.
Students were greeted at the
door by Tom Keene, who played
the part of Santa Claus and handed
out free gifts.
Approximately $285 was spent
on the party, according to Lake.
"It was worth putting on," he said.
Ralph Hayward was Union chair
man for the event.
Bridge Tournament
All students interested in playing
bridge in the second Union Bridge
Tournament Saturday should sign
with a partner or singly in the
Activities Office.
The tournament will be held in
Room 313 at 2 p.m. and will be
open to all students from begin
ners to experts. Prizes will be
awarded to the two winning teams.
Approximately 40 persons parti
cipated last week.

Band Troubles
(Cont. from Page 1)
Kansas State and the University
of Kansas are in ideal locations
because they lie on a route much
traveled by name bands. Bands
can play consecutive dates in Law
rence and Manhattan both good
dance towns and play the next
night in Kansas City or St. Joseph.
Agencies also will not compete
with each other by putting two
bands in the same town at the
same time. There are few
enough good dance spots around
here to attract them anyway, Lake
said.

acoustics; is not a good place for
a band to play. "The Coliseum has
a reputation across the country
for ruining a band," he said. Styl
ists like Frankie Carle lose much
of their effect in the vastness of
the building.
Lake thought University stu
dents would support a good name
band on the campus. Some people
come to the Homecoming Dance
and none other, so a good band
would bring in a good crowds he
said.
He added that on Homecoming
he thought "the boys should shoot
the works."
If there is a real social signifi
cance of these functions for the
students, Lake thought the Univer
sity should help student organiza
tions in supporting them.
He thought the University could
help underwrite such expenses as
the Coliseum, which put a good
strain on the student groups' mon
ey belt. He also suggested a div
ision of student funds on all such
solicited events to be put into a
general fund to cover losses any
organization might suffer when
while trying to stay with its
budget.

Quiet! Painters At
Decorators Produce
Classrooms, Tinted
By FRED DALY
Staff Writer
Andrews Hall, usually thought of
as the home of the School of Den
tistry, the English department and
a short-cut to Burnett on cold days,
has been changed to a -paint-ridden
obstacle course.
.The infiltration of a hardy band
of painters with their assorted
gear has caused the casual stu
dent to be wary of lurking paint
cans and stealthy dripping that
might drop behind a shirt collar
or dimple the toe of a shoe.
Before cursing these overalled
intruders, however, it is best to
consider the great volume of work
they turn out year after year,
month after month.
, Tint Ceilings, Walls
Under the guidance of the Divi
sion of Buildings and Grounds and
Director Charles F. Fowler, the
University painters manage to
tint most of the ceiling and wall
space on the campus during their
circuit.
At the present they are intent
on painting the ceiling and walls
of the halls in Andrews, with oc
casional skirmishes in the class
rooms. Finishing there they will
tackle the job of freshening up the
Geography Building and the Chan
cellor's offices in the Administra
tion Building.
Christmas vacation will be de
voted the Union, since average
school-year traffic makes"; k too
hazardous for the painters to get
anything done at any other time.-',

Another group of painters is at
work at the Ag College during
most of the school year.

The Cosmopolitan Club Christ
mas party will be held Saturday
at 8 p.m. in Union rooms 314 and

Each student should bring a 25
cent gift from his country as a con
tribution to Santa Claus, who will
distribute the presents. The pro
gram will include singing, dancing,
and games. All foreign students
and their friends are invited.

W. D. Garland, E.E '32, Univ. of
California, is working for the Pacific
Telephone Company. We , thought
you'd be interested in what Don
told us about his first assignment.
(Reading time: 45 seconds)
My job is to Jielp solve problems
of noise and other interference on tele
phone lines due to power interference.
Inductive co-ordination is the technical
.term for the work.
"First thing the Chief Engineer ex
plained to me was that 'all the answers
aren't in the book.' lie was right. Most
of the problems have required a com
bination of electrical engineering, a
knowledge of costs and generous
amount of ingenuity. like it that way.
It's given me an immediate opportunity
to put into practice the theory I learned
at school.
Work
During the summer, the paint-,
ers leave the stuffy confines of the
classrooms and the paint-spattered
heads of careless students and
mount their soaring scaffolds to
touch up windows and trim on the
outside of the buildings.
All through the warm season the
painters their numbers fortified
by a group of summering law stu
dentsscramble agiley up and
down past the upper floors of the
older buildings such as, Avery
Laboratory where miles of win
dows and fancy trimming must be
painted.
Pigeons Eye' View
Two men to a scaffold, they
haul themselves precariously from
floor to floor, startling the day
lights out of window-gazing stu
dents. Painting is not without its ad
vantages. Men working on Avery
Lab duding the 1953 NCAA track
mett had a pigeons-eye view of
Sam Innes and other national
track and field figures during the
two-day meeting where Innes
smashed the world discus record.
There are also disadvantages
such as the broiling sun reflected
off the side of a building, dropped
brushes and tilted paint cans
which leave a charming fan-like
effect down the side of a build

Brighter
Students
Rooms, Noses Speckled
Although many of the painters
work full time, some work only
during the winter season when
painting jobs are more scarce. The
ranks are fortified by semi-professional
students during the summer.
So on they go. Maybe an occa
sional drop will speckle someone's
nose or pattern the classroom
floors, but the campus looks quite
a bit brighter because of them.
