The Student Council Wednesday
approved the report of the Student
Activities Committee which sue
gested that "for strictly financial
reasons," the Council should not
join the National Student Associa'
tion. v
The Association is a national or
ganization of college and univer
sity student bodies according to
Marvin Breslow, committee chair
man. Several schools in the Big
Seven are members.
Breslow explained that the dues
f the organization are $150 a year,
plus the expense of sending dele
gates to the national convention
each year.
' "Most of the value of member
ship in the NSA comes from these
conventions," Breslow stated.
In addition, solicitations for va
rious projects are made through
out the year. Since the policy of
the University has been that all
campus- solicitations must be han
dled by AUF, the committee felt
that this would be unacceptable
to the University, he explained,
This Council action is in no
way a rejection of NSA, "Breslow
stressed. "It allows further invest!
gation of membership. The report
merely states that the committee
feels that at this time, adoption
of the NSA constituion is no
urged."
A moion to table indefinitely
the report of the committee was
defeated.
Breslow also reported that the
charter of the proposed student
tribunal is completed and will be
shown to Chancellor Hardin and
Deal Colbert before the next meet
tag of the Council.
If the Council approves the char
ter, it will be placed on the May
6 election ballot, he said.
In further Council action, Don
Beck, chairman of the judiciary
committee, asked that all organi
rations that want their constitu
tions approved by the end of the
year must turn them in imme
diately.
President Bruce Brugman asked
that all committee chairman turn
in complete reports of their years
work.

Cosmo Club:
Foreign
Students
Discussed
Dr. John Martin,' professor in
the School of Journalism, discussed
ways and means by which the
American students and the inter
national students can help to make
the University a more pleasant
place for the student from abroad
with members of the Cosmoplitan
Club and their American friends
Wednesday evening in the Union,
Martin describes the American
student as one who associates cas
ually and one who doesn't do extra
curricular work in an effort to draw
' out or understand the other fellow,
Foreign students are quite fre
quently too anxious to tell and
teach others about his country than
be is learning about America.
"The foreign student when he
first comes to America is likely to
be overcritical of America and
tends to judge all he sees and
hears by his own set of values,"
said Dr. Martin. "Most American
students are not afraid of criti
icism if criticism is based on facts
rather than upon value."
"The American University should
make an attempt to get the for
eign student into' community acti
vities. This can be done through
a well-planned program which will
include:
1. An orientation program of one
or two days. At this time there
things as credits, objective exam
inations, methods of studying and
other "mysteries."
2. Set up a system of brother
sister programs. American students
could meet the foreign brother at
the stations, show him around and
help him to get located.
3. Initiate a sponsoship program.
Downtown families could act as
sponsors for the foreign students
for a short time and have them
for dinner Christmas and Thanks
giving.
Dr. Martin suggested that the
foreign student might put himself
out to make the first approach in
a friendly conversation. He stated
that in many cases the American
students are shy in making the first
advances. The Germans, the
French, and even the English do
not appear to be as shy as the
American student in attempting to
make the acquaintance of a stran
ger, according to Dr. Martin's ex
perience. The foreign student can always
talk about the weather or suggest
that "we go out for a coke." The
foreign student is often in reality
the most mature, the most trav
eled and the most experienced. He
may have a language problem, but
in this he should be frank and
state bluntly that he does not
speak or understand the English
language very well. Most Ameri
can students will be eager to
help in such cases ' and will ex
plain the meaning of words and
speak slowly so that the new for
eign student can follow his words.

Sen. John Adams, Sr., of the
Nebraska Unicameral introduced
t resolution in Thursday session
of the legislature calling for the
appearance of Chancellor Hardin
and the Board of Regents to ex
plain the tuition increase which
was announced Tuesday.
Sen. Adams, representing the
ninth district in Omaha, said Tues
day that he didn't feel the resolu
tion would pass. "It will probably
be defeated by 80 per cent of the
senators' votes. It will get the
issue on the floor of the legisla
ture, however," he added.
The resolution states that where
as the increase m tuition may
cause a hardship for students de
siring to continue their higher edu
cation and whereas the Legislature
is responsible to the people for
furnishing adequate facilities for
learning to students, that it be re
solved that the Chancellor and the
Board of Regents address the
legislature on the needs for such
increase in tuition and whether a
reconsideration of such matter
might be expected in order that
no student will be forbidden to at
tend the University and seek high
er education because of such in
crease in tuition fees.
He stressed the fact that stu
dents seemed to object to the in
crease and that perhaps student
interest in the matter might prove
interesting in the action to be
taken by the Unicameral.
"If students would come down
here Tuesday morning when the
resolution will be discussed per
haps the ' Legislators would know
that their objection to the increase
was real," he stated.
Chancellor Hardin said Thurs
day that the resolution might be
good for the University. "If it
does pass, we'll have a chance to
present our entire case before the
Unicameral. This would give us
the opportunity to speak with
every senator instead of the few
on the committees we have dealt
Tuition Bill 'Killed'
The Legislature's Educa
tion Committee, in a special
executive session Thursday,
junked LB 410, which would
have required the University to
increase its tuition.
Killed by a 5-1 vote, the bill
was considered "unnecessary"
by the committee in view of the
Board of Regents' action this
week in voting a tuition hike.

tario, has translated Ernst Bar-
lacn's play, "The Dead Day," into
English for the first time.
University Theater patrons will
nave an opportunity to share in
tins "first" as they, view the
drama tonight and tomorrow.
Dr. Jackson has said of the
play, "It is first and foremost a
sympolic drama." And her words
hold true as the audience will see.
The Dead Day" is not by any
means a "cops-and-robbers"
drama which can be chuckled at
and enjoyed by every person who
happens to fall into possession of
a ticket.
Rather it is a conneiseur's de
light; a fine work of European
thought.
There, however, is the key to
the , enjoyment of .the ' drama.
Whereas the American ' audience
has reacted favorably to Arthur
Miller's works or the realism of
Tennessee Williams, they would
not gain the same type of enjoy
ment from this play.
It is lengthy. And that length
cannot be measured by the clock.
The action or lack of action
seems to be exceedingly slow.
But the pace of the drama was
slow at the production rehearsal,
and with a faster timing of lines
I believe the play will be much
better.
Since the play is symbolic. Max
Whittaker, director of the Univer
sity Experimental Theater, who is
in charge of the present produc
tion, has gone to great lengths to
preserve the mood of the author.
A look at the lithographs by Bar
lach which are on show at the
University Galleries will show the

Spring Day:
g Jag'
Parade
Planned
-"Jag to. Ag" has been the theme
of the Spring Day Parade, which
will kick off the day's activities,
according to Ruth Roubla, co
chairman. Not designed to be a show pa
rade, but merely a means of mass
migration of the Spring Day parti
cipants and spectators to Ag cam
pus, the parade will begin at
8 a.m., May 3.
Participants will form on Vine
Street in front of the Military and
Naval Sciences Building, Miss
Roubla said. The parade will fol
low Vine Street to 16th, turn south
to R, west to 14th, north to Vine
and east to 35th street, north to
ag campus and enter the campus
from 38th street.
No person will be allowed to
enter the parade after it leaves
the City Campus, according to
Lyle Hanson, co-chairman.
"Groups should arrange to ride
together in jne or several vehi
cles, so that we may include as
many people as possible," Hanson
explained. Any type vehicles may
be used, but those capable of car
rying as many people as possible
would be best, he said.
black and white somberness of
the original conception of the
drama was captured by the tech
nical department.
Dallas Williams, technical direc
tor of the play, has added light and
color to the play, however. This
rddition intensifies the symbolism
rather than detracts from it.
I have never seen a real Euro
pean drama produced before. Al
though much 'is read of Ibsen in
this country, little is produced
probably for fear of boring an
audience which likes action plus.
But the "Dead Day" performers
presented Dr. Jackson's transla
tion in an inspiring way. I don't
suppose they have had too much
contact with this symbolic type cd
work before. And so many of the
'fAmerican? school pieces of busi
ness are seen in the play.
Bonna Tebo as the Mother han
dles a difficult part quite well.
Roy Willey, who plays the part
of the gnome, Rumpbeard, is
is never seen by the audience. But
he is heard even when he tries to
cpver his voice with his hands.
Len Schropfer is the outstanding
character in this play, I believe.
I don't feel that it is trite to say
that this was the part he's been
waiting for. He "fell" into it and
his voice and movements were
fine.
Mention must be made of
Charles Richards who plays the
son and Diana Peters who plays
the interesting and voiceless
role of Broomleg. They were good.
They handled their parts' with
ease. I can't say that they did
exceptionally well, but only be
cause , I don't - admittedly
