It Happened At NU
One University coed was actually happy she
left a certain test question blank last week.
Tn a list to "define or identify" was given
"Charles River Bridge Case," a rather famous
court case concerning the Charles River.
tAfter class, still puzzled, she inquired of a "
friend, "Just who was this Charles Bridge Case
fellow, anyway?"

Seems Likely
By LIN LEVY
Staff Writer
The Faculty Club will take over
International House; a student
womens' residence hall, if certain
details are worked out, Chancellor
Clifford Hardin said Monday.
The request for the house was
made by the Faculty Club, which
plans to use it as a meeting place.
So far no specific details have
been worked
out, Dr. C. S.
Miller, profes
sor of business
organiza t i.o n
and manage
ment, and the
Faculty Club
president said.
"The Board
of Regents
stated: 'Upon
providing facil
it t i e s for the
girls now housed in International
House, the University would have
no further use for this property as
a girls' dormitory,' and that the
property can be used for the Fac
ulty Club gathering place'," Dr.
Miller said.
The girls now housed in the In
ternational House will be moved
into Terrace Hall, or the new ad
dition that will be added to the
girls' dormitory, Margery Polzkill
International House president
said.
The administration informed her
that the addition should be com
pleted by Sept 1, Miss Polzkill
said. Terrace Hall has the capa
city to house the 33 women stu
dents now living in International
House, Miss Polzkill said. She was
not told where students now resid
ing in Terrace Hall would live, she
said.
International House, formerly
the Phi Mu sorority house, was
purchased by the University dur
ing World War II, and has been
used as a residence for women
foreign students.
The property would be made
available to the faculty with all
utilities provided free of charge.
The house is a three-story brick
structure, designed to provide liv
ing accommodations for thirty-four
students.
Miller said that two committees
if the club are now studying the
cost of remodeling and refurnish
ing the building, raising funds by
Gifts from outside sources to fi
nance the same, and studying the
probable cost of operating such a
facility.
These reports will not be com
plete until early in January at
which time they will be distributed
to all staff members, he said
There are 33 girls now living in
International House.
International House was orga
nized in 1944 with the assistance
of Elsie Ford Piper, then Dean of
Women.
"The house is a noble experi
ment in group living for students
from foreign countries, with no
friction whatsoever resulting dur
ing the ten years of its existence,
to my knowledge," Miss Polzkill
said.
The purpose of International
House is to help create world un
derstanding on the individual lev
el. to create a feeling of mutuality,
and to have a place for every
foreign and non-Aryan student to
feel at home, she added.

Ik . Presents Program
, By BARB SHARP
Staff Writer
At a legislative program conference at the White House, President
Eisenhower told Republican congressional leaders that he expects the
budget to be balanced by next June.
The President limited his conference to three hours, obeying a
directive from his doctor to "slow down." The purpose of the confer
ence was to present the President's 1956 legislative program.
Another item discussed by the President was the program calling
for construction of additional schoolrooms to clearup the back-log of a
200,000 room deficiency in the nation."
Other topics under discussion included farm legislation, amend
ments to immigration legislation, civil rights, labor legislation, postal
rates and housing and area redevelopment programs.
Syrian Forces Attacked
As a result of a night-time Israel attack on four Syrian outposts,
Syrian air forces were alerted and mountain positions were rein
forced near the Sea of Galilee.
According to Syrian and Israeli reports, the Israelians had suc
ceeded in capturing and destroying the outposts and most of the
defenders were either killed or captured.
Urgent conferences are reportedly under way in Damascus where
Syria recently signed a defense pact with Egypt providing for joint
action should one or the other be attack by Israel. The fighting began
Sunday night, when Israeli forces crossed the frontier into Syria on
a small-scale invasion to halt Syrian attacks on fishing boats in the
Sea of Galilee.
Lie Tests Scheduled
Lie dectector tests are to be given in Omaha to two suspects in
the killing of Carolyn Marie Nevins, University of Omaha nonor
student and debater.
Miss Nevins' body was discovered near the main drive to the
Omaha University 'campus early Saturday. She had been shot four
times. She was last seen waiting for a bus in front of a university
building at about 11:15 p.m. Friday night.
A 35-year-old cab driver was described as Eh" "hottest suspect"
m the killing. Also undergoing investigation is a 26-year-old man whose
alibi is being checked by Omaha police.
Detective Inspector Ernest Brown, investigating the alibi of "the
cab driver ,said the cab driver had been away from home until after
11 p.m. Friday.
Reds Hint Refusal
The United States has demanded the early release of two Ameri
can soldiers seized by the Communists in East Berlin. The U.S. demand
was a quick reaction to Communist hints they may try the GI's in a
sovereign" East German court.
East German Communists warned that the "working class" in
their sector was ready to kick out the anti-Communist government of
West Berlin. The warning appeared in the Communist newspaper.

'Blithe Spirit' Review:
Three Actors, Set
Spark Production
The Nebraska n's review of
"Blithe Spirit," the University
Theater production presented Mon
day in the Howell Memorial Thea
ter, was written ly BUI and Don
Walton, staff theater Reviewers.
Their opinions do not necessarily
express those of the Neb.'flskan
staff. Bill is a graduate student
in dramatics and has been active
in University dramatic produc
tions. Don is a senior In the School
of Journalism.
, By DON and BILL WALTON
Two veterans and one newcomer
paraded in front of the flickering
lights at the Howell Theatre, Mon
day night, to provide a small aud
ience with some hilarious fun.
Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit," a
play with an unimportant plot,
gave three actors a chance to de
velop some fine characterizations
develop them they did.
Doris Anne Growcock, as Ma
dame Arcati, captured the aud
ience with a sterling performance,
making excellent use of gesture
and body movement. Combining
voice and gesture, a forgotten art
she gave to the stage a character
wholly, not partially, developed.
The most consistent actor in the
University Theatre's family, Eu
gene Peyroux, as Charles, added
another triumph. When Peyroux
graduates, liis scrapbook should
make a fine recommendation for
future theatrical work. Monday
night, his facial expression and
liming were responsible for many
of "Blithe Spirit's" humorous moments.
The newcomer, Janice Farrell,
as Elvira with her wit gave prom
ise of a bright future. Her scenes
with Peyroux were among t h e
show's funniest.
These three performers were the
only actors able to compete with
the set and win. Taking nothing
away from the set's beauty, and
sertainly it was a gorgeous crea
tion, one felt that the actors were
faced with an almost unsurmount-
able barrier. Go to "Blithe Spirit"
and see the set, but then try and
focus 'your attention on the actors.
Forgetting the set for a moment,
much credit must be given to the
excellent use of stage business.
Certain incidental moments were
priceless.
Overlooking the major elements
of the production, one minor flaw
was apparent. It is hoped that the
use of good character makeup is
not being ignored at the Univer
sity Theatre.
Oh, don't worry if you're ten
minutes late to the production.
You'll only miss the University
Theatre's attempt to break the
icur-minute mile.

rather than Monday.
On, the present calendar,
classes are scheduled to re

this is at legal holiday since
New Year's Day fails on Sun

that this change was already a
fact. This is not true since only
the Senate has the power to
change dates on the calendar.
