'Galloping Poll' Shows Favorite A galloping poll on the cigarette preferences of University women, conducted by Theta Xi pledges after they returned from, their sneak, has shown that coeds choose "the cigarette with 20,00 filters" two to one over its nearest com petitor. The yield of 1118 lipstick-stained Imalns, collected Sunday even ings from various organized hous es, carefoly sorted, counted, and tabulated, shows that filter tips of all kinds lead the field, comprising nearly 50 per cent of the total. A new trend in smoking is in dicated by the accumulation of six cipar butts in the debris. It is probable that these were the re mains of plnnings.. This poll is expected to add to the general worldly knowledge which is neces sary to liberal education, it was carried on in the best interests of scientific discovery, Jim Placke, Theta Xi pledge trainer, said.

In M.af ion-Wide 5.66 Per Cent Recognized A recent study of college back grounds reveals that the University College of Engineering and Archi tecture ranks second of all schools in the nation in the percentage of graduates who are recognized as outstanding engineers. Of the 3,282 students who gradu ated from the College, 5.66 per cent are listed in the present edi tion of "Who's Who in Engineer ing," according to Dr. Charles Baer of he University of Kansas School of Engineering and Archi tecture, who conducted the study. Dartmouth University leads the field of 475 colleges with a per centage of 6.62. Other schools in the midwest which rank high are: Kansas, 4th; Missouri, 5th; South Dakota State, 9th; Missouri MJnes, 10th; and Iowa, 15th.

In total number of college alumni listed, Nebraska tied with Kansas Slate for 22nd and 23rd place, with 186 entries each. Roy Green, dean of the Univer sity's College of Engineering and Architecture, said this high rating emphasized two points: "The Col lege's sound judgment in course material; and the adaptibility of Nebraska students." He said it has been a long-established fact that boys off the mid western farms tend to develop into outstanding engineers. "The rea son," he said, "is their willingness to accept responsibility. Farm life, with its responsibilities for every member of the family, develops de sirable characteristics in the boys from an early age." The only handicap experienced the organized houses in men's and women's divisions selling the most tickets to the University Theater in proportion of the members in the house. A traveling trophy is awarded to the winning house, with the name and year engraved on it. Winners last year were Ron Beck er, Kappa Sigma, and Doris Bil lerbeck, Alpha Xi Delta. This year the campaign ran from Tuesday, Sept. 27 to Friday, Oct. 7. The pictures of this year's win ners will be featured in programs for this year's University Theater productions. A page in the 1956 Cornhusker will also be dedicated to them. This year was the second year Honorary Producers have been awarded since the new Howell Theater was built.

Season Opener: "Stalag 17's" Comedy Presented With Polish By DON and BILL WALTON Staff Writers University Theatre's 1955-56 sea son opened Tuesday night on a spirited note, bringing to the How ell Stage Donald Sevan's and Ed mund Trzcinski's "Stalag 17." The excellent production, character ized by polished performances and swift pacing, thrilled a large audi ence. The play might be termed come for not only is its low comedy funny, but "Stalag 17" borders on the tragic. Once first act jitters were over come, the play raced to a tension packed final scene. Much of the early difficulty may be attributed to the actors' failure to grasp their audience until after the second act nurtaln. The plot is built around the pres ence of an informer among some American prisoners In a German camp during World War II, bne man is openly accused, but sever al others are not beyond suspciion. Rip Peyroux, Skip Weatherford, Survey . As Outstanding by farm boys, he said, is the "de velopment of smooth liaison with larger groups." But, he added, this can be learned. Dean Green believes that if a student hasn't learned to take responsibility by the time he is in his middle 20's, he never will ac quire the trait. In the college program, Dean Green said every effort is made to strengthen this ability of accepting responsibility, "which is the big gest factor in becoming an out standing engineer." "Engineering students are urged to use their own ingenuity. An example of this is the College'! student magazine, "The Blueprint," for which the students have com plete responsibility, both financially and editorially. This year the mag azine was adjudged the best writ ten student engineering magazine of all the schools in the nation." Chancellor Clifford Hardin called the rating "a tribute to the ex cellent program carried on by the faculty of the College and to the quality of Nebraska graduates. There are few tangible, measuring sticks of teaching, and this rating points up what I have been say ing for many months. Nebraska has one of the finest Colleges of En gineering and Architecture in the nation, and every Nebraskan should be proud of this."

The sparkling comic duo f Weatherford as "Stosh" and Pey roux as "Shapiro" provided the largest share of the farce element and was greatly responsible for the superior tem; of the oroduction. Parris as "Sefton,' Dlaying the most difficult role In the play, stumbled early but picked up mo mentum to finish brilliantly. His repeated vocal patterns Were erased soon after the second act curtain. James TomsAk, Jim Copp, Stan ley Fellman, and James Goss were outstanding in supporting roles. Detrimental to the production were spotty lighting, the shiny, . stained stage floor, and garbled speech reproduction due to the poor integration of the auditorium spak ers. The drab coloring of the set was In harmony with the play, but the setting was too static for the tempo. The pit and gallery were well filled. n mm UOl
