wish to vote must have a Revue
ticket and their University IDs.
Tickets will be available at the
Pershing Auditorium box office
according to Harlan Noddle, busi
ness manager.
Fraternities represented in this
year's Fall Revue and their skits
include: Phi Kappa Psi; Phi Delta
Theta; Alpha Tau Omega; Sigma
Chi; and Sigma Phi Epsilon.
The Phi Psi skit is entitled "In
side Russia Confidential Hush
Hush Shhh Unexpurgated." It
deals with the problems involved
when fallout from atomic tests
starts ruining English toadies.
When Russian vodka is also af
fected, the world comes to the
realization that atomic tests must
be ended for the common good.
"Three Paupers of Paris" is the
title of the Phi Delta Theta entry.
Three beggars of Paris are arrest
ed for begging without a license.
They bemoan their fate but come
to realize that Paris is the best
possible place for this to happen
giving the skit a happy ending.
Alpha Tau Omega entitled their
skit "Gunfight at the OK Rice
Paddy." After an unproductive
conference with a speechless gang
leader, a mob of oriental bandits
set out on a robbery. The attempt
by the mob of oriented robbers is
unsuccessful and upon returning
the gang finds their leader was
dead while they were supposedly
receiving his instructions.
"Alababoo and the Asian Flu"
is the title chosen by the Sigma
Chi's for their production. Alaba
boo and his band have the Asian
flu virus locked up in large jugs
and are using it to terrorize teams
in the Big Eight Conference. The
Nebraska Husker finds a serum
for the virus and emerges from
the Conference palace hail and
healthy while rival Oklahoma
faints from illness.
"Highland Fling" is being pre
sented by Sigma Phi Epsilon. This
is a portrayal of an annual curling
contest. The game is played on
ice by two Scottish clans, and con
sists of hurling 40 pound curling
stones toward a goal. The game
is interspersed with Scottish songs
and dances. j
Also featured at this year's Re-j
vue will be presentation of the!

Several recent works of the Uni

Friday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at
the Third Annual Humanities Tea.
Included are books, plays,
poems, study aids, music, encyclo
pedia articles, text books, essays,
recently exhibited works of art,
concert programs, theater pro
gram, art work, ceramics and
translations.
This exhibit is organized by the
humanities section of Love Library
to display the critical and creative

faculty of the humanities, ac

sistant director.
The exhibit will be on display for

should correctly be attributed to a
student's desire to learn more
about the profession he would be in
after school.
"For example, a student works
on the Cornhusker or the Daily Ne
braskan in order to gain knowledge
about whatever phase of the jour
nalism field he wishes to enter,"
Miss Holt explained.
"In other activities, such as Un
ion or Builders, a person can learn
to work with people, develop re
sponsibility and other qualities that
will benefit him whatever his pro
fession might be.
The members of the panel in
cluded Joanie Weerts, senior to
arts and sciences, Emmie Limpo,
sophomore in arts and sciences,
Ken Saunders, graduate student in
mathematics, and Pete Laughlin,
program director of KNUS, who
served as moderator.
Niebaum also brought out the
fact that out of 8000 students on
this campus, only 200 or 300 were
carrying the load of all the activi
ties. This started a discussion of the
reasons why all students did not
participate, especially since there
are so many activities that at least
one should interest any student.
Niebaum placed part of the
blame on a nation-wide apathy
which seems to be seen on every
college campus not only regarding
activities but other forms of col
lege participation, such as school
spirit.

Lack Energy:
r
life' To fulfill Meeds
By MARGARET WERTMAN
Staff Writer
Vitamin pills may well provide
the solution to the alleged campus
parking problem.
Students, who don't have the en
ergy to walk a few blocks be
tween classes, seem to be the
problem not lack of space.
Contrary to public opinion,
campus parking facilities are ad
equate to fulfil (he need of park
ing student, faculty and employee
cars, according to James Pitten
ger, assistant to the chancellor and
director of parking on campus.
Questions asked of several
chronic complainers showed the
basic reason for no space com
plaints was that such and such
a building was a block or two
or three, whatever the case may
be, from the "emptiest" parking
lot.
These students would apparently
ask for a private parking space,
marked with their name, directly
in front of the door to the building
which houses each of his class
rooms. Recent Survey
A recent survey taken by the
campus police, showed that only
eight times, during the hours of
8 a.m. and 3 p.m. were all the
parking stalls in any lot on camp
us filled. Only five times during
the week were all faculty stalls
occupied at any hour.
Not more than one lot, either
faculty or student, was filled at
a given time on a given day.
Other findings show that:
the 17th street northside ave
nue lot was not used.
Every day during the survej.
the 17th street lot had between
200 and 250 vacant stalls.
vacancies in other lots aver
aged around the 20 to 27 mark.
The survey is taken by the
campus police every year, two cr
three times during the first part
of the semester. The report also
shows the number of students
parking in faculty lots.
Three Principles
Pittenger emphasized that three
basic principles must be consid
ered concerning the parking diffi
culties. 1. A student doesn't have to have
a car to get an education.
2. The physical layout of the
campus could never permit a 1 1
students to have a place to park
in a central area.
3. If storage areas are provided
by the University, the University is
doing more than its job, which is
education.
Adequate parking facilities on
the campus as a whole have al
ready been provided by the Uni
versity. As of Oct. 28th, 4,764 stick
ers had been issued to the faculty,
students an employes of the Uni
versity. 3,500 Spaces
There are about 3,500 parking
places in the lots and an additional
five to six hundred in street areas.
All cars with stickers are by no
means on the campus at the same
time, Pittenger pointed out.
The Ag Campus has almost no
problem as only 480 permits for
the 846 stalls were issued this
year. Of course, persons from the
downtown campus must use park
ing stalls on the ag campus, but
some are missing from out there
at the same time. ,
Pittenger said it must also be
taken into account that the ag
campus is more free to expand and
is not bounded by the business dis
trict of a city.
The main request is for more
central parking space.
Solutions
Solutions to this problem from
numerous sources include:
prohibition of freshman park
ing heart of campus to be reserved
for necessary parking
renting of stalls parking me
ters reservation of certain a r e a s
for visitors
park building
Campus police reports show that
in 1956-57, 1,210 freshmen obtained
permits. Pittinger pointed out that
the freshmen live generally in the
dorms and the fraternity houses
and park their cars at or near
these locations. So restricting the
freshmen from parking in the con
gested areas would bring the prob
lem no nearer solution.
It has been suggested from time
to time that the central or strateg
ic areas of the campus be reserved
for employees, faculty, etc., who
must have a car in order to carry
out their work. Included in this
group would be the public rela
tions department, the purchasing
department, faculty members vho
had classes both on the downtown
campus and the ag campus and, or
in general, persons who need to
travel and transport goods from
one section of the campus to an
other. Stall Rental
Renting of stalls to those who
desire a location in the heart of
the campus is high on the list
of recommendations. Along this
same line is included the placing
of parking meters near the li
brary, dental college and Morrill
Hall which handle outside visitors.
Persons desiring the use of these
facilities must have a place to park
their cars if they wish to take full
advantage of the University serv
ices. It also must be remembered
that these facilities cannot operate
to give the students the experience
that is their purpose if outsiders
cannot come into the University.
Central Parking
Central parking could also be
reserved for those not attending
the University, but using its fa
cilities. Student care would then
be kept in the storage areas and
fringe parking lots, Pittenger said.
A park building to be located
in the central area, has been sug
gested by many including the
Greek houses. Such a building, it
has been speculated, would pay
for itself in time, as have the
downtown buildings.
But, Pittenger pointed out, on
campus the building would be op
erating only five days a week dur
ing nine months of the year. Stu
dents would not generally park in
the pay areas if there was an
other spot vacant and soon would
be saying "I'm broke parking my
car on campus." It would also be
impossible to park the registered
4,764 cars in the building. !
Of course, it would be impossible
