Backing For Council
loudepemideirali's
The University's independent stu
dent groups have announced that
the independents will sponsor an
all-independent Student Council
election slate. Interviews with stu
dents interested in filing with the
support of the independent groups
will be held Tuesday night.
Doug Jensen, president of the
Residence Association for Men,
said that an agreement has been
made among the various independ
ent groups to sponsor and support
these candidates.
Participating in the agreement
are the Residence Association for
Men, the Residence Halls for Wom
en and the Co-op Council. Repre
sentatives of these organizations
will make up the interviewing
board.
Interviews will be held in the
Resident Adviser's Office of Selleck
Quadrangle from 7-9:30 p.m. Tues
day. At this time all independent
men will be interviewed. From
9:30-10:30 the board will interview
in the Women's Dorm all inde
pendent women who plan to file.
"The purpose of this system,"
according to Lowell Vestal,
R.A.M. secretary, "is to present a
unified independent set of candi
dates. In the past independents
have often split their votes because
there was no central group to en
dorse specific candidates."
Vestal explained that all inde-

"One fact I realized," he said,

Ataturk University
Baher To Head Nebraska
Mission To Turkish School
A contract involving the payment
of approximately $1,400,000 to
Ataturk Univesity by the U.S. For
eign Operation Administration
was signed Monday afternoon, ac
cording to Chancellor Clifford Har
din. Dr. Marvel L. Baker' associate
director of the Nebraska Experi
ment Station and assistant profes
sor of animal husbandry, will
leave Wednesday to head a Ne
braska mission to assist in estab
lishing the new university.
Last fall, the Turkish government
selected four possible sites for the
university, but had not chosen one.
It is' Dr. Baker's understanding
that the city of Erzurum has been
selected.
Two-Year Stay
Dr. Baker will serve as dean and
chief agricultural advisor of the
university. He will remain in Tur
key for about two years.
Early in the year, six Nebraska
faculty members went to Turkey
to help draw up plans for Ata
turk University and for conferences
with the Turkish government.
Nebraska professors were select
ed to assist in the planning due
to similiarity of climate and agri
cultural problems in the two
areas.
Also in the provisions of the
contract signed Monday is a clause
that the Nebraska mission will
"Indonesia, Algeria, Morocco and
other countries there are struggling
for freedom," he said. "The United
States should give them moral sup
port because your country is the
mother of democracy and liberty."
Communists
Discussing the problems of Com
munism, he said that in Indonesia,
the Communist Party is recognized
as a legal party.
But, he added, "there are two
reasons why the Communists don't
have a great influence on Indones
ians. The first is that 90 per cent
of the people are Moslem and a
loyal Moslem cannot adhere to
Communist doctrines. The second
reason is the Communists made
a great mistake during the revolu
tion in our country when they made
a rebellion agaira' our government.
The only influence the Communists
have is in labor union in the cities.
Commenting on the educational
procedures in Indonesia as com
pared with the United States, War
tomo said that the system of edu
cation in his country is more "in
tellectual" than it is here.
"But," he said, "You are more
practical here than we are in my
country." He observed that uni

All Seniors In AFROTC
To Receive Commissions
All graduating Air Force ROTC
cadets will be commissioned this
year, according to a Department
work with the Turkish Minister of
Education in setting up the new
university.
Ataturk University will also co
operate with the agriculture and
veterinary science faculties of the
University of Ankara, in addition
to the University of Nebraska mis
sion. Erzurum, the town unofficially
reported as the site of the Univer
sity, is an old city in Eastern Tur
key, near the Russian border.
It is very important from a mili
tary and strategic standpoint, ac
cording to faculty members on
last fall's commission.
Specialists in engineering and
architecture will join Dr. Baker's
mission at a later date.
'Educational Leader'
"We feel extremely fortunate in
obtaining Dr. Baker for this job,"
Dr. Hardin said. "He is one of
the most respected educational
leaders in the country."
The commission last fall was
composed of A. T. Anderson, as
sociate professor history; W. V.
Lambert, dean of the College of
Agriculture; Carl Olson, chairman
of the animal pathology depart
ment; Roy M. Green, dean of the
College of Engineering and Archi
tecture; Knute O. Broady, director
of the University Extension Di

man of the agronomy department.

size activities more than they do in
Indonesia. He added that Indone
sian organizations are based main
ly on religion such as the Catholic
Student Union and the Moslem Stu
dent Union.
Suggestions
Wartomo admitted that he had
seme suggestions for improvement
of activities on the University camp
us. "I suggest that all student or
ganizations promote international
relations activities especially with
democratic nations. It is very bad
if you don't know about other coun
tries because then you can't pro
mote mutual understanding to ach
ieve our common ideal which is
peace in the world."
He will travel to St. Louis next
month to attend the National Con
ference of International Relations
Clubs. Several University students
representing NUCWA will also at
tend this conference. Wartomo will
then visit the University of Okla
homa at Norman to participate in
Asia Week on that campus.
"In June of next year, I plan
to return home," he said. He
will report on his observations of

of Defense bulletin received Thurs
day. Not all graduates were awarded
commissions last year, Capt. E. W.
Nyland, public information officer
of Air Force ROTC, said. They were
given the alternative of a commis
sion in the National Guard, if
they were not accepted into the
Air Force.
Most graduates refused commis
sions were turned down because
they were not applying for flight
school, Nyland said.
It is anticipated that all students
commissioned will be called to ac
tive duty within a year, Nyland
said. Most will be called within a
few months.
The factor which regulates the
number of students receiving
commissions is the number of
spaces available in flight schools,
he said.
Students who have had previous
military duty or are continuing
with academic work will not re
ceive commissions, the bulletin
stated.
The Air Force estimates that ap
proximately 10,200 cadets will re
ceive commissions, the Defense De
partment bulletin said.
Students who will graduate dur
ing the period from May 1, 1955
to April 30, 1956, will come under
the jurisdiction of the new pro

play which - concerns the four
member Mannon family are Joyce
Fangman as Lavinia Mannon, Eu
gene Peyroux as her brother Orin,
Barbara Leigh as the mother Chris
tine and Mortell Clute as Ezra, the
father.
Max Whittaker, assistant profes
sor of speech and dramatic art,
is directing the play which, he
said, is seldom presented in this
part of the country because of
its "production difficulties." John
Tolch and Frank Bock, instructors
in speech and dramatic art, are
technical directors of the play.
Modern Adaptation
"Mourning Becomes Electra,"
Whittaker said Monday, is "a mod
ern adaptation" of a series of three
plays by Aeschylus, Greek dra
matist of the Fifth Century B. C.
The Aeschylus trilogy, Whittaker
said, is the story of a Greek
Warrior who goes off to war against
the Trojans. While Agamemnon, the
warrior, is gone, his wife Clytem
nestra, and her lover, Aegisthus,
plot his murder, which is carried
out upon his return. Agamemnon's
children, Orestes and Electra, plan
to murder their mother and her
lover. They do, and the Furies tor
ment Orestes to near insanity for
it. The last part of the triolgy tells
how Orestes is pardoned for his
crime.
O'Neill Successful
"O'Neill has been successful,"
Whittaker said, "in his attempt to
modernize the Greek myth which
deals with the violent passions of
a house divided, intense hatred
and perverted love."
The play is set in a small New
England town of the post-Civil War
period. Orin Mannon, Whittaker

The dominance of a mother over

thinking that no girl is good
enough for either of her sons, at
tempts to break the engagement
of one son. The attempt succeeds,
and the son's fiancee attempts sui
cide. Trouble develops when the
mother attempts to ruin the other
son's marriage. Her son s wife has
a strong will and refuses to give

he said becomes psychologically
disturbed for murdering his mother
Christine.
Lavinia, O'Neill's Electra, Whit
taker said, is probably the main
character. She faces psychological
problems, he went on, of which
she becomes aware only toward the
end of the play. How she atones
for her brother's suicide, he added,
climaxes the tragedy.

aaid, the play is seldom presented.
