University To Host Adult
Education Conference
The fourth annual Adult Educa
tion Conference at the University
Is expected to draw between 75
and 100 Nebraska educators, li
brarians, ministers and lay citi
zens interested in adult education.
Robert Blakely, vice president
Of the Fund for Adult Education,
will be the principal speaker. He
will speak on "Discussion in a
Union To Have
Cinemascope
Movies Soon
Cinemascope may soon be seen
In the Union on Sunday nights.
Due to increasing attendance at
the Sunday night movies plans are
being made to install a cinema
scope screen by next semester or
at least by next fall.
According to Bob Handy, direc
tor of activities, extra chairs were
needed to seat the Sunday night
audience. Handy considered this
due partly to a better program of
movies and more effective pub
licity. Major events held at the Union
this fall included the Chancellors's
reception, the Chancellor's faculty
party, and the Frosh Hop. Between
800 and 900 students attended the
Chancellor's reception September
13, showing a drop of about 600
from last year. There was a turn
out of 1000 students at the Frosh
Hop September 14, and some 1100
faculty members were present for
the Chancellor's faculty party held
in the Union September 16.
Kandy said some 100 new work
ers have signed up for Union com
mittees and he expects to have
about 300 new workers after AWS
Activities Mart.
Recreational Area

From 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. on Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday
each week, Recreational areas in
the basement of the Coliseum will

Workers
There will be a Kosmet Klub

7:30 p.m. in the Union, according
to Jerry Brownfield, vice pres

Pad -Reveals
Did you know that in 1935 the
governor of Nebraska was H. L.
Cochran? Also In that year Nebras
ka's Chancellor was E. A. Bur
nett, the dean of Women was
A. H. Heppner and the dean of
men was T. J, Thoippson.
Another fact wnich was true In
1935, was the fact that there were
82 fraternities on campus com
pared to 24 on campus today.
Fraternities represented then
but not now are Alpha Sigma Phi,
Chi Phi, Delta Sigma Delta, Del
ta Sigma Lambda, Delta Theta
Phi, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Al
pha Delta, Phi Sigma Kappa, Pi
Kappa Alpha and Xi Psi Phi.
Out of 19 sororities represented
on campus in 1935, there are 15 re
maining today. Sororities that are
today non-existent are Alpha Del
ta Theta, Delta Zeta, Phi Mu and
Phi Omega Pi.
its customers are local stores, how
ever. Most fraternities and sorori
ties also subscribe.
Two other factors will enlarge
the radio audience. The Agricul
ture College has built new dormi
tories for married students and
have wired them to receive KNUS.
The second factor, is that the pro
grams have been scheduled for two
hours later than in the past.
"We should be able to get more
listeners this year than we did in
the past. We begin broadcasting
when most of the classes are out.
More kids can hear us now,
Laughlin said:
A new feature wliich will be em
phasized on the station is the "New
Sound." Disc jockeys will limit the
amount of talking which they do
on the programs, and singing com
mercials and singing weather will
be used.
"As far as I know we're the only
station west of Omaha which has
the "New Sound," Pete Laughlin
added.
The "New Sound" is not only an
innovation on this campus, but no
other college station in the nation
has used it before.
The station breaks will feature
campus celebrities such as Miss
Nebraska.

Many Changes On Campus
Innocents, men's senior honor
ary, was founded in 1905 but In
1936 their selection of new Inno
cents changed.
All junior and senior men were
allowed to vote for five juniors.
Men chosen to take positions in
the society were selected from 25
men who received the greatest
numbers of votes out of the. junior
class. - : .
Mortar 'Board, ' women's senior
honorary, also was founded in 1905
with the Black,Masque c h a p t e r
and in 1918 Mortar Board was
founded nationally.
Their selection of MB's was
based on scholarship, personality
and activities. Thirty girls were
chosen from the junior class' by
a vote of all senior women. Mor

Daily Nebraskan File
Depicts Past News
The Daily Nebraskan has been
publishing the news around cam
pus for almost sixty years. Have
you ever wondered what has hap
pened in the past on any certain
day? Let us glance back to see
what has previously happened on
the first day of October.
Twenty years ago football . en
thusiasm ran high on campus and
nearly every article in the Rag
pertained to the forthcoming game
between Nebraska and Minnesota.
The front page contained an edi
torial which declared that over 500
students had "lousy" seats, for the
game while any bum in the streets
of Minneapolis could get a seat on
the 50-yard line.
The cry seemed to be 'Biff Bier
man!" in that 1937 paper. Bierman,
the Gopher coach, had Iris name in
monstrous headlines as well as be-

House before 5:30 p.m. Tuesday
in order to be eligible to partici

Oct. 15,' Keith Smith, skit chair
man, said.
Faculty Senate
The Faculty Senate meeting will
include reports of the Committee
on Student Loans, a Committee on
Committees election and electim
of secretary of the senate. .
The meeting is scheduled for
Tuesday, at 4 p.m. in the Love
Memorial Library.
T Ass
Miss Helen Snyder, Assistant
Dean of Women, has been pro
moted to associate dean in the
Division of Student Affairs. She
replaces Miss Marjorie Johnston
who will
now devote
full time to the
s c h olar
ship program.
When Miss
Snyder joined
the University
staff in "1949
she was direc
tor of counsel
ing and activi
ties at t h e courtesy Lincoln Journal
Women's Res- Colbert
idence Halls. She was appointed
assistant Dean of Women in 1950.
The change was recommended
by Dean J. P. Colbert of the Di
vision of Student Affairs.
"The scholarship program has
been growing by leaps and bounds.
We need someone to be in charge
of it full time, and Miss Johnston
has been devoting full time to it."
Colbert said.
Corporations and private individ
uals have been building the schol
arship fund up to the point where
it is no longer a side issue on the
campus. It has taken on such pro
portions that where a committee
once could handle the scholarships
in a meeting or two it now takes
the full time of a staff and there
must be somebody in charge of
it, Dean Colbert said.
Such corporations as General
Electric, DuPont, and General
Motors have ' made it a practice
to provide funds for scholarships.
New blood is needed in industry
more than it has ever been needed
in the past.
In his state of the University
speech last Thursday, Chancellor
Hardin stressed the fact that now
more than ever the business and
professional worlds are demanding
trained young people.
Corporations have set up special
scholarships to Provide the
trained young people. Most of the
corporations require these people
to work for them after they have
completed their university train

Workers To Meet
The annual Mass Meeting for Ag
Union activities workers will be
held Oct. 8 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in

The meeting will include a buffet
supper, an orientation period and

tween every story. The following
Sunday after the game, a special
purple edition was published which
lauded Nebraska's 14-9 victory
over Minnesota.
The 1942 Nebraskan, fifteen
years ago, was filled with news of
the war. The lead story explained
how the Homecoming displays
were going to be made of scrap
metal and rubber instead of the
traditional elaborate materials.
Each house was to be allowed only
five dollars to spend on their dis
play. The 1947 paper declared that the
University had gwown to 10,000
students. Main stories were about
the dedication of the new Love Li
brary by Chancellor R. G. Gustav
son the following Sunday and Dr
Kurt von Schuschnigg, former
chancellor of Austria, who was to
come to the University to speak on
"The Problems of Europe." Other
interesting stories ten years ago
were on the University Liquor
Policy which, evidently, had been
violated by some students.
Five years ago sororities and
fraternities were donating the
money alloted for Homecoming to
the polio fund. Students were upset
at the raise in the price of the
Student Directory from 50 to 65
cents. Incidentally it h now $1.75.
News of the Korean War was
boxed on the front page during
1952.
October 1 has been an interest
ing day through the years. It will
probably continue to be interesting
as long as the Daily Nebraskan
continues to keep the student body
informed. . , . , ,

Many businesses have taken up
the habit of providing scholarships
for worthy students because it aids
in their public relations. Many of
the smaller universities in the na
tion have been kept alive by gifts
from corporations in the form of
scholarships.
Boeing in Wichita has a unique
setup. They provide scholarships
for the University of Wichita.
