New Instrument
Dr. Donald Pace, University
cancer specialist, is shown with
a micromanipulator, one of the
instruments which University
cell researchers will use in con
nection with the new air pollu
tion studies. The instrument was
supplied by the federal govern
ment and is worth $2500. The
instrument is used to isolate and
perform microsurgery on indi
vidual cells.

The University has been selected Plant Industry building at the

the studies will be under the super

of the University's Institute for
Cellular Reseach.
Under the terms of a contract
signed by the University Regents
and representatives of the U.S.
Public Health Service, the insti
tute will receive about $38,000 in
equipment and federal funds to
add the smog project to its basic
research program for the year.

Dr. Pace explained that virtually

Jeanne d Arc Au Bucher, a

This presentation will be on a
much larger scale than "King

including guest narrators and so
loists and University chorus and
orchestra members, Foltz said.
A guest artist to portray Jean
...Musc Department Sets Date For May 13
will be anounced at some later
date, he said.
Jeanne d'Arc Is the most ef
fective and penetrating version of
the story of Joan of Arc, Folti
said. Arthur Monegar composed
the music and Paul Caudel the
text .
"Beth Henegar and Caudel are
outstanding figures of the century
in the art world," Folts said. Cau
del is one of tie leading French
mystics and Hennegar orked with
Milhaud, Poulenc, Taiibferre and
other French an ti-Impressionists,
he said.
"Jeanne d'Arc is Henneger's
masterpiece, Foltx said. Hennegar
also composed the music for King
David."
The story deals with the French
peasant girl who led the French
armies against the invading En
glish in the Fifteenth century. The
Battle of Orleans, the decisive
battle of the war, was cannonized
in 1920.
Robert Secretain, French critic,
said that Caudel does not differ
entiate between past and present
but makes his heroine exist in bil
ocation and in control of time and
space.
Joan sees the people around her
disguised with the forms of their
crude pleasures, such as the ser
pent, the pig and the ass, he said.
Th Kings are pride, criminality
and greed and the Queens ap
pear as lust, stupidity and boast
ing. Knaves and giants also have
their place in the story of Joan, he
said. Joan is betrayed at her trial
and is condemned to die at the
stake. She is convicted of being
a witch, because she claims she
has heard the voice of St. Cather
ine.
The story ends as Joan recalls
her childhood. In Lorraine and
hears a may song of her youth.
This resolves her spiritual eon
flict and she dies at the stake.
The presentation is to be given
free of charge, Foltz said.
Many famous artists have told
the story of Joan of Arc, including
Maxwell Anderson, Bernard Shaw,
Guiseppe Verdi and Peter Tchai
kovy, but "Jeanne d'Arc Ao
Bucher" is one of the most mov.
ing and theatrically effective of
all musical dramatizations, Folia
said.

Mortar Boards, senior women's
honorary have asked the Faculty
Committee on Student Affairs for
complete authority over Ivy Day.
In an appearance before the
committee, Gail Katskee, Mortar
Board president, and Sharon Man
gold, secretary, outlined a three
point plan which included more rep
resentation on a planning commit
tee, enlargement of the commit
tee with the purpose of making
Ivy Day an all-University function
and assigning organizations cer
tain duties which coincide with
their purposes and functions.
Miss Mangold and Miss Katskee
appeared as delegated representa
tives of the senior--Women's honor
ary. Mortar Board, according to
Miss Katskee, presently assumes
the financial burden for support
of Ivy Day activities and also does
most of the planning for the day.
The plan advanced by Mortar
Board would set up a planning
committee which would include
representatives from several cam
pus organizations, most of which
already are concerned with Ivy
Day activities. The vice-president
of Mortar Board would serve
ma Lambda, band honorary; Kos-'i
met Hub; The Nebraskan; Asso
ciated Women Students; Innocents;
Tassels; Student Council and any
other group which might be in
volved in Ivy Day.
Presently, Mortar Board and
Innocents Society, senior men's
honorary, share authority over Ivy
Day activity as a result of a deci
sion of the Student Council last
spring.
Last year's decision was reached
following confusion which arose as
a result of a petition by Phi Mu

the responsibility is that of Mor

J. P. Colbert, Dean of Student
