Tho Outside Wofld: Polish Defiance Centimes Communist Poland's defiance of Moscow by (declaring independence from the Moscow controlled organization has brought about four major developments within the past 24 hours: 1. Iwo or three Soviet cruisers.have appeared off the Polish seaport of Danzig reportedly on maneuvers. 2. The Russian army officer in command of the Warsaw district, Gen. Franciszek Andriejewski, has disappeared from his post at night', apparently going to the Soviet Union. ' 3. A movement has started inside the Kremlin to remove Nikita Krushchey from his top post in the Soviet party because of his person ality and the rough way he carried out overall policies. 4. Communist Poland's apparently successful defiance of Moscow has heartened U.S. officials, but nevertheless the official Red party in Poland reaffirmed their firm ties with the Soviet Union. They also said it would be naive to consider the new freedom would swing their policies to the West. They warned West German Konrad Adenauer not to meddle in the. development of their freedom and told President Eisenhower their change did not give the U.S. the right to interfere with Poland's internal affairs.

Hofdin Virtue Of Sharing University students will again be confronted with the decision whether or not to give to the All Uni versity Fund Drive this week. Students will be asked to give money dollars and cents. There are no special gimmicks. No popu larity contests. We are being asked to give in the spirit of charity. On many campuses, student organizations raise relatively small amounts through special promotions much the same as the people of Ogden Nash's poem who . . have heard of unemployment and they've heard of breadlines, and they philantropically cure them all by getting up a costume charity ball." When we" give to AUF we are giving to Cancer and Heart, we give to the uneducable children of LARC School and the diseased student of Asia, we are giving to people we may never see, but nevertheless it is a personal gift, for we give of ourselves. There is a certain acknowledged virtue in giving when it is realized that what we are indeed doing is sharing and few persons have as much to share as do students "at the University of Nebraska. . -r Figures Up: Hardin Reports Increased nrollment Revised enrollment figures at the University show a total of 8,- 425 students, an increase of 569 students over the same period last year, Chancellor Clifford Hardin reported today: More than half of the increase, 357, was accounted for by the Col lege of Engineering and Architec ture, reporting a total of 1,749 students. This makes the Engineer ing College the largest college in terms of enrollment. Two colleges showed decreases, College of' Agriculture, down 28, but still up 56 students over two years ago; and College of Medi cine, down 47. Dean J. Perry Tollman saia tne Medical College decrease was the result "61 ''two factors :" the effect of the recent change-over from a three-to four-year program at the School of Nursing; and the more than-usual drop-outs in the fresh man medical class. He explained that each year about six or seven per cent of the freshman medics leave the school because of health, financial, aca demic, or interest reasons. This past year more than 12 per cent were lost, he said.

Tryouts for the play are sched uled Tuesday and Wednesday from 3 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 10 p.m. and Thursday evening from 7 to 10 p.m. in Howell Theater The play is set in the hills of Tennessee and is based on the legend of Barbara Allen, Williams explained. "It will involve singing, dancing and the playing of certain instruments", he stated. "This cre ates great difficulty in casting, as it is necessary to find people not only capable of acting well, but also of playing the guitar and the accordion, singing and danc ing." Any students interested in trying out for the play who have any of the above talents may contact Wil liams in Howell Theater or attend the scheduled try outs, he said.

Action Misinterpreted The action of the University's Board of Regents Saturday in dis continuing the curriculum of ar chitectural engineering has been misinterpreted in some cases as e 1 1 mination of the depart ment of archi tecture. Linus Bu r r Smith, depart in e nt chair m a n, said M o n day he had received calls from high school teachers e x NfbrMk,. nMt pressing r e- Green gret that the University has dropped the study of architecture. He said the confusion arose be cause many people refer to ar chitecture as "architectural engi- neering. In effect, he added, the Regents merely dropped the name of ar chitectural engineering which was one of two curricula to comply with the practice of most state examining boards. Smith explained: "Practically no state examing board recognizes a professional di vision entitled architectural engi neering. The graduate must, there fore, become registered as either an architect or an engineer. "If the student chooses engineer ing, he should enter one of the traditional engineering courses." Dean Roy M. Green of the En gineering College said the move will emphasize rather than de-emphasize the architects profession. Some confusion exists in the minds of those people who would hire an architect and find that they have obtained the services of an engineer," Dean Green stated. The Regents' action means that now there will be separate de grees in architecture and in engi neering. "There will be less con fusion now when the services of either the engineer or the archi tect is needed. They will both be able to work together, one in the area of the structural aspects and the other in design, Dean Green explained. Those students who are now in the field of architectural engi neering will be able to graduate (left to right) Nancy Tucker, Donna Sawvell, Jan Shrader, Janis Davidson and Sandra Kadlecek.

Orchesis Tryouts Try-outs for Orchesis, the mod ern dance group, will be held Wednesday At 7:15 p.m. in Grant Memorial, according' to Mary Mong. president, All students who The Inside World with a degree in that field," ha added. The degree of Bachelor of Sci ence in Architectural Engineering was established 35 years 'ago at the University of Illinois when it was felt that some added empha sis should be placed on the struc tural aspects of architecture. Today, however, engineers seek positions in any of the many fields in which they are qualified. "Those students of engineering interested in structural work can specialize in civil engineering. The new program will definitely better the present program in both the architectural and engineering fields"," Dean Green concluded.
