The question arose originally
when a pharmaceutical survey
group in 1946 advised Pharmacy
colleges to broaden and lengthen
their programs give students
more work in humanities and so
cial sciences courses.
At present, University pharmacy
students take 136 hours of courses
in pharmacy, biology, mathe
matics, physics, and chemistry.
They are allowed only eleven hours
for electives.
Acting on the recommendation,
the American Association of Phar
macy Colleges voted in 1951 on a
proposal to lengthen pharmacy
study to six years, two in pre
pharmacy and four in professional
years. Although the Association
rejected the proposal, the Regents
had given the University delegate
its approval of the plan.
Last August another plan was
presented to the Association. This
plan called for a five-year phar
macy program to be initiated no
later than September, 1960.

Critics To Pick
Art For Show
Two nationally known art critics
have been chosen to assist officials
of the University Art Galleries in
the selection of art pieces to be
added to the Frank M. Hall col
lection. Mrs. Elizabeth S. Navas, a trus
tee of the Roland P. Murdock
Collection at the Wichita Art Mu
seum, and Alden Megrew, profei
sor and chairman of the Depart
ment of Art at the University of
Colorado, will visit the campus
March 19 and 20 to make the
selections from the works exhi
bited at the Nebraska Art Associa
tion's show.
The Frank M. Hall Collection is
the main collection of art objects
owned by the University. A be
quest of money by Mr. and Mrs.
Hall was made in 1928 to the
University to purchase art objects
for the galleries. The bequest stip
ulated that anything purchased
with this money must be approved
t- two professional art consult
ants.
The Nebraska Art Association's
show will include 150 objects exhi
bited by various art dealers.

Student Council President
Reviews Year's Activities
By MARILYN MITCHELL
Copy Editor
Study of the relationship be
tween activities and scholarship is
perhaps" the most important pro
ject facing the Student Council this
year, Jack Rogers, Council presi
dent, said.
The Council has issued its first
semester report which covers the
present term of office from May
19 to Jan. 19. Rogers commented
on the report in a Nebraskan in
terviow, Rogers told that he would be
satisfied if the Council did only
its "1001 little things" in the field
of administration. This, however,
is a "year of reform all over the
campus, he observed, explain
ing the worth of the Student Ac
tivities Committee's investigation
into the scholarship activities ra
tio. To Report Wednesday
At Wednesday's meeting, the
Committee will make Its report to
the Council. During past months,
Committee members have been
conducting a survey of student and
faculty opinion. At Wednesday's
meeting, the complete report of
their findings will be presented.
The need for reform has been
expressed by many students and
administrative personnel who
feel that students are in more ac
tivities than they have time for,
and Rogers hopes for a solution
to whatever problem may exist.
New Activity Ideas
A number of houses have been
drawing up plans and ideas to
submit for the proposed spring
activity, according to Mike Shu
grue, member of the planning
committee.
"We're still looking for student
Ideas and particularly Individ
ual ideas," he said.
Ideas and suggestions should
be turned in as soon as possible,
so that plans can be made to
have the spring activity this
year.
The committee will meet Fri
day to discuss the Ideas that
have been turned In to The Ne
braskan this week

The ratio ought to be up to the
individual, he said but too often
students "get carried away" with
activities. If regulation is the so
lution, the Council has "the right
and the obligation" to enact re

Spring Event
Another worthwhile Council func
tion, Rogers said, is the considera

of spring energy which have re

versity as a whole and in punish

The Outside World
AAalenkov Resigns
By DICK RALSTON
Staff Writer
Russian Prime Minister Georgi Malenkov resigned his post Tues
day, admitting his "lack of experience" had held back economic
development of the country. Defense Minister Nikolai Bulganin was
named three hours later by the Supreme Soviet (the Russian parlia
ment) as his successor.
News of Malenkov's resignation was received by diplomats of the
U.S. and Western Europe as a surprise, but without shock. It is gen
erally expected that the move marks the end of "committee rule,"
which has prevailed since the death of Joseph Stalin.
Malenkov had held the premiership for one year and 11 months.
He has been assigned to other unspecified duties and has promised to
"carry them out faithfully."
Chinese Evacuate
The evacuation of Chinese Nationalist troops and civilians from
the Tachen Islands has received no interference from nearby Com
munist artillery or aircraft. Civilians have been given first priority
and are being loaded into fourteen Nationalist ships assigned to the
task.
In addition to the Tachens, lying about 200 miles north of Formosa
and about 14 miles from the Chinese mainland, the Yushans and
Pish an will also be cleared. In all, about 40,000 troops and civilians
are involved. . ,
Dulles Doubts War
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles told the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee that ratification of a defense treaty with Nation
alist China would make the position of the United States clear, and
might cool off the tough-talking Chinese Reds.
Dulles said he doubted that the Chinese Communists really wanted
to go to war with the U.S., and that Senate approval of the treaty
backed up the already adopted policy to defend Formosa.
The committee is considering the mutual defense treaty signed by
the U.S. and Nationalist China Dec. 2, in which the United States
pledged its aid "in accordance with itsconstitutional procedures" if
Communist forces should attack Formosa or the Pescadores Islands.
Tariff Program Heard
President Eisenhower's tariff program was the subject of a sharp
clash In the House Ways and Means Committee as the committee
ended public hearings on the program and headed for a closed-door
showdown on extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act.
. The President has asked Congress to extend the law for another
three years and to broaden his authority to carry out tariff cuts as a
means of encouraging world trade. Democratic leaders predict that
the bill will be watered down before it is sent to the floor.

Nebraska Masquers Present
Comedy On College Lovers
"Charley's Aunt," a comedy
about college lovers presented by
the Nebraska Masquers, will open
at Arena Theater, third floor of
Temple Building Wednesday at 8
p.m. and will run through Feb.
12.
Since final exams, tickets have
been moving rapidly, but there are
many seats available, according to
Bill Walton, director of the play.
Tickets may be purchased from
any member of Ma?quers for SI.
As far as it is known, this is
the first time that "Charley's
Aunt" has been produced in arena
stage. The arena stage makes spec
tators almost feel that they are
part of the play because of their
closeness to the actors and ac
tresses on stage.
Audience Participates
Strange incidents sometimes re
sult from this "close up view."
During the guest performance,
which was held last Saturday
night Lord Fancourt knocked Spet
tigue's hat into the lap of a mem
ber of the audience. The result:
Impromptu audience participation.
"Live goldfish have minor swim
ming parts in the play," said di
rector Bill Walton. Another feature
of the show is that the president's
personal representative, Marv Stro
mer, changes costume on stage.

Brazilian Imposter
"Charley's Aunt" is a story
about two students who invite
their girl friends over to visit a
wealthy aunt from Brazil. The
aunt, however, is unable to come
and meet the girls, so the boy
force another male student to dress
up in black lace and pose as Char
ley's rich aunt. Then the boys in
troduce her to their sweethearts.
About that time, the real aunt
turns up, but instead of exposing
the imposter, she decides to just
sit back and watch the "fun."
The three-act play, written by
Brandon Thomas, stars a cast of
ten. Brassett is played by Eu
gene Peyroux; Jack Chesney b y

trouble spots have been eliminated,
Jackson said.
He feels that Eisenhower Wants
the Chinese Nationalist troops with
drawn from the off-shoreislands.
Jackson stated that his own person
al opinion was not to uphold either
the Chinese Communists or Nation
alists. Anderson said that the United
States' position in international af
fairs should be dominated by long
term economic aid, patience, hu
mility and understanding, backed
by national strength.
This country doesn't have the will
to win an all-out war at the pres
ent, Anderson said. He feels that
in the future the United States will
make concessions to Red China
and Formosa will be delivered to
the Communist Chinese.
Jackson stated that our defense
of Formosa was part of a Chinese
diplomatic squeeze play to alien
ate this country from the rest of
Asia, which feels that Formosa
should go to the Chinese mainland.
On British - American relations,
Jackson said that the two coun
tries go well together due to shared
interests.
He also feels that there is a pos
sibility that a Russian Chinese
split will develop over issues such
as Singkiang, Manchuria and the
fight for power in Russia, within
the next 20 years.
The Disappearance of Malenkov,
with the ensuing fight for power, ,
leaves no one else as big as Mo
Tse-Tung in the Communist .elr
archy and is a cause for friction,
he added. '

Citizenship
For Faculty.
A program to recognize out
standing contributions to American
Citizenship by University staff
members has been approved by
the Board of Regents.
The action by the Regents came
in response to a suggestion from
J. Leroy Welsh of Omaha, Board
President, who is personally con

Leroy Welsh Americanism Award.
The Regents accepted Welsh
proposal that the committee make
its selection on the basis of three
points:
