The bandits return to the hideout after the Lone Koolie has demolished their ranks. After requesting their leader to avenge them, the bandits die. One tardy member of the band who had been on a date appears; and, as he comes on stage, the leader col lapses and a lament to the fallen leader ensues. A gong-man, who underestimated his strength, ended the show. The skit of Phi Delta Theta, "Three Paupers in Paris," direct ed by Charlie Richards, centered around three beggars who had been caught begging without a li cense and who were to be guil lotined when the police apprehend ! ed them. They decided to spend their last evening getting the most out of their time in a Paris cafe. A can-can, a ballet and a farewell song took place before the police finally captured them and lead them away.

Aa estimated 3000 peo Love Library From Variety By LOUS ENGEL Special Writer Books don't magically appear in any library, but the manner in which they make their appear ances ia Love Library is an inter esting process. In the first place, from SO to 100 books a day are ordered by the library business department to keep the library up to date and best able to serve the University public. These books are ordered, how ever, only after careful joint se lections by the teaching faculty and the library staff. Every fac ulty department from Business Ad ministration to Physical Education select current books and research publications for their respective departments. , Also, the library staff does its best to anticipate the future needs of both students and teachers. Packaged turkey meat is not available on the market, the re searchers said. They are trying to find out if housewives would like it in packaged form. They divide each turkey to pro vide two packages containing a back, wing tips, neck, thigh bones, drumstick and boneless breast. Two other packages contain a boneless thigh, boneless breast fil lets, and wing sections. This makes excellent soup stock, the poultry men said. The project is designed as a means of helping homemakers serve turkey without cooking the entire bird at once. In addition, whole turkeys usually are too large for the average family to use in one or two meals. Packaged turkey should help homemakers make more efficient use of turkey throughout the year not just at holiday time, the poultrymen concluded. Med Interviews v . -ti w . . cine Admissions Committee will interview students interested in gaining admission to that college Dec. 4, according to Eugene Powell, premedical advisor. Studerts should immediately ar range for their appointments by signing the schedule posted on tie bulletin board at 306 Bessey Hall, (Powell said. The music of Jimmy Phillips and his orchestra provided enter tainment during the intermission and during the short period be tween the presentation of Prince Kosmet and Nebraska Sweetheart and presentation of the winning skits while the "the judges were lost in the auditorium", as report ed by Morgan Holmes at the microphone. The other curtain acts which participated in the entertainment in between skit presentations in cluded, Norman Riggins, singing songs from the Roger's and Ham merstein production South Pacific and the Delta Upsilon Quartet, which sang a Negro spiritual and 'There Ain't Nothing Like a Dame." The procedure of the Kosmet Ktub Fall Revue was changed somewhat this year, reported Morgan Holmes. Five skits, in stead of the usual six took part in the competition, and only two, instead of the usual three, awards were made. As there was a tie between the two of the skits for second place, two trophies will oe awarded to those skits. Spectators at the Fall Revue estimated the crowd attending the Kosmet Klub show at between 2,500 and 3,000. The show was termed by Holmes and Brownfield "one of the best that it has been been the privilege of Kosmet Klub to present. The Revue was given for the first time in the new Pershing Memorial Auditorium. Balloting for the Prince Kosmet and Nebraska Sweetheart took place before the show and during the intermission. Ballot counters reported that approximately one thousand ballots were cast ple were in attendance al the Annual Fall Revne held Friday night in the Pershing Auditorium. Gets Books Of Sources There are thousands of book ti tles to choose from, and the li brary business department has at least one dealer in every major country in the world in which books may be directly purchased. The library also acquires many of its books by exchanging faculty publications with other Universi ties and academic institutions. The University has approximate ly fifteen series of publications a year that are sent to other col leges. These colleges in return send their publications to Nebras ka. These amount to several thou sand publications a year. On top of all these books, the library also subscribes to over 6,000 magazine periodicals. All the professional members of the library staff help in the se lecting of the books but only four or five members work on the ac tual business operation.

Regent Frank Foote gave the only dissenting vote. Foote also proposed an amendment to the motion to include the approval of the six-point proposal of the 11 pro fessors of Arts and Science Col lege. The amendment failed to re ceive a second. Norman Cromwell, the spokesman for the group of Arts and Sciences professors, said that he "wishes the new committee well and hopes that it will begin to operate immediately." Cromwell said he did not be- KeWnCrTecessary for the group to be represented on the committee to work with the chancellor. He said he was certain that there would be others who are intereeted in the problem and who could study the matter objectively. Dean Walter Militzer of the Col lege of Arts and Sciences and Dean Frank Henzlik of Teachers NU Regents Okay Leaves For 2 Profs Two University professors, Dr. Norman Cromweil of chemistry and Dr. Ernest Feder of agricul tural economics, received Saturday leaves of absence for the coming year to accept grants. The Board of Regents approved a leave for Dr. Cromwell to ac cept his Guggenheim fellowship, effective Feb. I. The awarding of the grant was announced last April. Dr. Feder was announced Satur day as recipient of a Fullbright grant to lecture at the University of Chile, Santiago, for nine months beginning March 1. Under the grant. Dr. Feder will teach a general course in agricul tural economics and a seminar in the Graduate School of Economics. In addition, he will assist the de partment of economics with its training program and the Uni versity's Institute of Economics with its research program. The grant is one of 400 for lec turing and research abroad for the 1958-59 academic year. Dr. Cromwell will spend the firs; four months of his leave at Cali fornia Institute of Technology studying new spectroscopic tech niques. In June he plans to begin studies in London at University College and Chester Eeatty Re search Institute, Royal Cancer Hospital.

RUTHIE GILBERT Lincoln, College both commented that they were in favor of appointment of the committee to study the profes sors' petitions. 11 Request The request of tlie 11 members of the staff of the College of Arts and Sciences read in part: "We believe that the following specific steps taken at this time would enable the University of Nebraska to render more effective service to the people of the state in this national educational emer gency: "1) Transfer the certifying au thority from Teachers College to the Office of Registration and Records, which would recom mend for certification those stu dents who have completed the courses in education as required by law and who have been ap proved by the pertinent subject matter departments of the vari ous colleges. "Z Abolish the system of dual matriculation in the University of Nebraska. This cumbersome procedure has discouraged stu dents from selecting teaching as a career, and would be unneces sary if the above recommenda tion were adopted. "3) Ask that the Nebraska State Legislature lower the number of professional education courses re quired for certification from 18 to 15 hours the number specified by the North Central Association. In this new era we are entering, the various fields are becoming so complex that more and more time is required for their mastery. (The Teachers College now requires 20 hours of professional courses, since the course in practice teaching was changed from three to five hours of credit). "4) Recognize teaching done by Smith Hall Removal Approved The Board of Regents author ized Saturday the removal of El len Smith Hall, site for many years of women's campus activ ities, ana tour temporary oarrats-; type buildings erected during the post-war enrollment peak. Ellen Smith Hall, which was ac quired by the University in 1920, will be removed from the north west corner of 14th and R streets sometime early this spring. Busi ness Manager Carl Donaldson said. The Board also agreed to per mit the Alumni Association to re move woodwork, hardware, and colored glass from the building to equip a memorial room in the Student Union Building. Ellen Smith Hall now houses the Division of Student Affairs, which is expected to move into the new Administration buiiding during the latter part of January. The four temporary buildings ... . j i are expected to be removed from the Lincoln campus by late sum mer.

'6) As an emergency measure, encourage the certifying author ity to make it possible for people qualified in subject matter, but without the requisite number of hours in professional education, to teach under temporary per mits. "We believe that the adoption of these measures will help re lieve the teacher shortage, im prove the caliber of instruction, and enable us in Nebraska to help meet the challenge of this age."
