Politics An
By LCCI SWITZER
Copy Editor
Politics and religion are is the
news on several campuses this
week. Mock' political conventions
particularly seem to be the vogue
at many colleges.
At Syracuse University Jn New
York the local television station is
planning to televise several ses
sions of the proceedings. In con
trast to the bi-partisan type con
vention which was held here, Syra
cuse is actually holding two con
ventions, following the TmiAfm7
procedure.
Still a different type of mock
convention is being planned at
Kansas State. There the Boviniaa
party has been farmed and will
hold a typical convention. The
main issues which have come out
ia discussion so far are the farm
problem, integration of the South
and foreign affairs.
Instead of mock convention, Col
orado University is planning a UN
V, various ; fields of
world affairs. Playwright Arthur
MiHer will keynote the convention.
K-Sfcis Chapel ...
Another item which should strike
a responsive note for some Uni

According to the tCoHegian" She
chapel will provide a center lor
campus religious and cultural met

for weddings, funerals and ether
special religious services. The
chapel includes an organ which
will be used for moon hour organ

To Discuss
Thin-Shells
The most noted authority in the
world on thin-shell construction,
Felix Candela of Mexico City will
visit the campus Wednesday
through Friday.
Candela, an architect, scientist,
and distinguished professor, will
present a lecture Friday at 7:30
p.m. in Love Library auditorium
The topic will be: "New Archi-
tectual Horizons."
His interest in structual prob
lems began early in his career,
when he was given a fellowship
in 1935 by the Academia de Bellas
Artes de San Fernando. Spain.
to study new trends in reinforced
concrete design, in Germany.
He has designed and construct
ed some 200 shell structures in
Mexico, including a Cosmic Ray
Pavilion which has the thinnest
shell roof ever poured, 1V4 inches
thick.
He says the general objection
to shell structures "is based on
the common confusion between
massiveness and strength. Massive
structures are not necessarily
stronger than the lighter ones.
On the contrary, the former are
more subject to deformation and
failure."
His visit is being sponsored by
the department of architecture and
the Extension Division.

ing the ballet.
A sinister figure, Lindorf, Hoff
mann's enemy, watches the ballet
in the wings.
In the interval, Hoffmann goes
to Luther's Tavern where he sings
the Ballad of Kleinzack. As be
sings, thinking of Stella, the beer
mugs become life size and the Bal

In his reverie Hoffmann sees
Stella as the Lady and himself as
Kleinzack. "Would you hear the

Changes,
Throughout
By LINDA BUTHMAN
N'ebraskan Reporter
Crusades, and challenges direct
ed at the Administration and stu
dent body by the Nebraskan, Uni
versity student paper, are not
ideas foreign to past Nebraskan
staffs. As early as 1925 such vig
orous campaigns have been char
acteristic of the paper.
The 1923 Cornhusker carried this
quotation: "During the past year
the Nebraskan has lost some of its
conservatism; it has carried on
vigorous drives against what it
has regarded as unwholesome sit
uations about the University State
and nation wide publicity have
been received over a number of
discussions." '
A two-column monthly magazine
under private ownership in 1892,
The Nebraskan grew to a fourteen
column-weekly in 1S93, and to a
seven column daily paper in 1901.
and to the present tri-weekly pub
lication with a circulation of 6300,
Soon after 'the Nebraskan's ar
rival, it began running competition
to a similar publication, The Hes
perian. " Bitter leuas between we
two papers" were brought to a
peaceful close when the consoli
dated paper. The Nebraskan-Hes-
perian, merged. Students, faculty
members and Lincoln businessmen
were the share holders of the pri
vate Hesperian publishing com
pany who controlled the paper un
til 1905.
Great things were expected of
the college paper by 1925. "The
'Rag,' as it is known on the cam
pus, has come to fill other re
quirements besides those of a news
origin, and M. M. Fogg, director
of the School of Journalism, hopes
to make it a daily Lincoln paper
as the School of Journalism
grows," was the statement printed
in that years Cornhusker.
During this time students, now
national figures, held positions on
the Nebraskan staff. The following
are included:
