University students will take
their exams for the 1955-56 aca
demic year in two-week periods, it
was learned by the Nebraskan aft
er a check with official sources.
Due to miscomprehensions on
the part of many students, it was
assumed by students that the one
week exam schedule passed by the
Faculty Senate last year would go
into effect this year.
Floyd Hoover, Director of Regis
tration and Records, said that two
week exams are planned for this
year in accordance with the offic
ial calendar for 1955-56, adopted
by the Faculty Senate November
9, 1954.
When the one-week exam plan
was passed last spring. Hoover
said, nothing was mentioned about
putting the shorter into effect for
this year.
The only way to put one-week
exams into effect would be to re
vise the official calendar for this
year. Raymond Dein, secretary of

the Faculty Senate, said that any
proposal to revise the official cal
endar would have to go through the
calendar committee.
The calendar committee did not
expect the one-week exam ruling
to go into effect until the 1956-57
academic year, Hoover said.
If a revised calendar were pro
posed to and passed by the com
mittee, it would still have to be
passed by the Senate. In the fall
of 1954, after passing the calendar
for this year, an amendment to de
lete the entries for exams from
the calendar in anticipation of fu
ture proposals to shorten exam per
iods was defeated by the Senate.
Student opinion against the
change to a one-week exam period
was focussed through the Nebras
kan late last spring. Editorials and
columnists stressed that students
and instructors alike would be
hampered by the new proposal.
Most students felt that being de
prived of free reading periods
would not enable them to prepare
adequately for their final exams
Others felt that the learning effect
of exams would be hurt by short
ening them.
It was also pointed out that in
structors would not have sufficient
time to grade papers and still be
abie to hand in averages within
the deadline.

Union To Sponsor Operas:
Wo's
Mop
nab
The New York casts of "The
Medium" and "Tha Telephone,"
modern operas written in English,
will appear in Lincoln, Nov. 3, at
8 p.m. in the Stuart Theater, Di
ane Knotek, member of the Union
Board of Managers, announced
Tuesday.
The double bill of Gian-C a r 1 o
Menotti's works will feature Marie
Powers as Flora in "The Med
ium." Miss Powers originated the
role on Broadway and also starred
in the motion picture adaptation.
Tickets will be available in the
Union and downtown music stores
after Oct. 17. Orchestra seats are
$4 and $3.50; main floor, $3; Loge,
$3.50; and student tickets are $1.50.
This is the first national tour of
both operas. "The Medium" broke
all attendance records for opera
presentations on Broadway, Miss
Knotek said.
"The Telephone," an opera-buffa,
is a hall-hour presentation given
prior to "The Medium," she said.
Both have exciting plots which are
full of suspense, she added.
Appearing with Miss Powers
from the original cast are Basel
Landia, Nadja Witkowska, David
Aiken, Eleanor Knapp and Rich

Menotti won a Pulitzer Prize for
his most recent opera, "The Saint
of Bleeker Street," in 1954. His
other works include 'Amahal and

vision broadcasts as a Christmas
show, "The Island Bod," "The Con

Thief." ,
The motion picture of "The Med
ium" was awarded a prize at the
International Film Festival at
Cannes in 1951. It is the only con
temporary opera ever filmed.
The story of "The Medium" cen
ters around a charlatan spirtualist,
sung by Miss Powers. Her daugh
ter Monica and her deaf-mute as
sistant, Toby, play a tender love
scene, which enrages the medium.
She accuses Toby of ruining a se
ance and beats him. As she falls
in a drunken stupor, Toby hides
behind a curtain. The medium sees
him stir and calls out, but there is
no answer. She shoots a revolver
wildly killing Toby.
As Toby's body falls, the medium
screams to the audience that she
has killed the ghost.
"The Telephone" is a sophisti
cated satire on modern women and
their excessive use of the tele
phone. Miss Knotek said.
Lucy, the telephoner, cannot stop
telephoning long enough to allow
her sweetheart to propose to her.
How he finally gains Lucy's atten
tion is a delightful commentary on
modern life, she added.
Emanuel Balaban, musical di
rector for the touring company,
also directed the original twin bill
of "The Telephone and "The Med
ium" on Broadway.
Menotti has also won the New
York Drama Critics award for
the year's best musical play twice.
The Consul," presented last
spring by University Singers in
conjunction with Madrigals, won
in 1950, and "The Saint of Bleeker
Street" won in 1954.
Miss Powers, an American-born
continental opera star, has also
appeared in Menotti's "The Con
sul." She has sung with the Paris
Opera and the Opera Comique.

Dulles Takes Stand
By BARBARA SHARP
Staff Writer
Deliveries of Communist bloc arms to the troubled Middle East
would not contribute to relaxing tension" in the world. Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles told Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov.
Dulles made the statement at the recent United Nations General
Assembly meeting in New York. DuDes was referring to a contract
under which Communist Czechoslovakia will sell military equipment
to Egypt in return for cotton, rice and other Egyptian products
He said, however, that he was not sure that the two countries had
completed all the details of the contract. Dulles added that because
he did not know the amounts or types of equipment involved, he can
not say what the effect will be in starting an 'arms race in the Middle
East.
He added that he has no reason to think that the Czech -Egyptian
deal will not be carried out but that he hopes it will be possible to avoid
an arms race.
Dulles has received reports on the matter from Assistant Secretary
of State George Allen who has been comerring with Egyptian Premier
Abdel Gamal Nasser at Cairo on the problem.
Commenting on other world problems, Dulles declared fiiat be did
not think France's withdrawal from the United Nations General Assem
bly last week will have a damaging influence on the UN.
France withdrew in protest over a decision to discuss the Algerian
question. He said that France would still nrobablv lav leading ml
