The booths were judged on the
basis of originality attractiveness
and audience appeal. Members of
the judging committee were Miss

voting and 60 per cent on the votes
of the judges.
About 2000 people attended the
Carnival, according to Carolyn
Williams, assistant chairman. "The
new system of selling tickets for
two different times made the Car

she said.
The theme of the winning booth
was "Hit the Headlines". The
booth was decorated in newspa

- throw folded newspapers through
holes cut in the backdrop.

Contestants at this booth tried to
throw chunks of "mud" into a
"steam shovel" whose claws
moved up and down, opening and
closing.
The Delta Delta Delta theme
was "Rope your Gal in the Delta
Corral." Girls in this booth sat
upon sawhorses and players tried
to loop a lasso over then.
In the Alpha Xi Delta booth, con
testants attempted to throw sil
ver horse shoes through a spin
ning lariet. Players at the Kappa
Kappa Gamma booth threw a bean
bae onto the mouth of a mouse's
head.

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.

Student Affairs, as the Liaison
Officer to nominate to the Danforth
Foundation two or three candidates
for these fellowships.
The appointments are fundamen

ment" and carrying a promise of
financial aid within prescribed
conditions as there may be need.
The maximum annual grant for
single men is $1800; for married
men, $2400 with an additional stip
end for children.
The Danforth Foundation, ac
cepts applications for the class
of Danforth Graduate Fellows from
college senior men and recent
graduates who are preparing them
selves for career of college teach

their first year.
The qualifications of the candi
dates as listed in the announce

men of outstanding academic abili

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. .

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.

In New Play
Unusual difficulties are antici
pated in casting the University
Theater play "The Dark of the
Moon," according to Dallas Wil

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

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.
