A Rag Poll
Footsore
Freshman
Foreseen
Future freshmen may be walking
around the campus unless the pres
ent parking problem improves.
According to a Daily Nebraskan
poll of about 94 University students
yesterday, 50 students felt that if
the tight parking situation doesn't
loosen up, freshmen should forfeit
their driving rights to upperclass
men. Eighty-two of the students felt
that the campus is lacking in
parking spaces. Sixty-six were will
ing to remedy the situation by
parking off campus.
Other solutions offered to the
problem were to build a multiple
story parking building or an under
ground parking lot. More parking
space could be provided by clear
ing the "slum areas" around the
University and tearing down all
apartment and temporary build
ings on the campus.
Another suggestion was to limit
parking according to grade aver
age. This was also suggested in
connection with limiting freshmen
cars on campus.
Installing parking meters, creat
ing some one hour parking zones,
and careful checking 'of student
parking lots for faculty Cars and
cars without parking stickers were
also advised to cure the parking
malady.
One indignant coed said, "Let's
have a pretty campus, not a used
car lot. What's wrong with grass,
flowers, and trees?"

Who Receives What
From Charity Fund
This is the first ertiele in the
series, "Where Your Money
Went," concerning contributions
collected by the All University
Fund. The articles explain each
charity to which AUF donated
this year and the various pur
pose and services of each or
ganization. Nearly $2400 was given to the
World University Service, an in
ternational charity, this year as
a result of last fall's AUF Drive.
25 Per Cent
This is approximately 25 per cent
of AUF's total budget.
The purpose of WIS is to aid
students and faculty members in
under-developed war-torn countries
through a program of mutual as
sistance. Funds donated by student and
faculty members will be used for

Sponsor
Dr. Bertrand Schultz, faculty ad
viser for the IFC, stated, "I feel
that it is one of the finest projects
that the IFC has ever proposed.
Not only will it help the community
in which the students live while
they are in school, but also it
will be of value to the fraternity
system as a whole. It will aid in
teaching the fraternity men who
participate, the real value of co
operation and teamwork. It should
be an enjoyable occasion for he
fellows, too."
Spirit And Enthusiasm '
Willis Johnson of the community
chest, which will work with the
IFC in handling the project said,
"I think it's a fine idea. We ap
preciate the spirit and enthusiasm
of the boys to want to help out
in their community. '
Don Stacy of the Junior Cham'
ber of Commerce commented that
the project will have a splendid
impact on public relations.
In other business at the meet
ing, the contract and policies for
the 1958 IFC Rush Book were pre
sented and discussed by a repre
sentative of Sigma Delta Chi, pro
fessional journalistic fraternity
which will edit the book. The con

Ellen Smith Hall
Memorial Planned
The University Alumni Assoc!
tion has proposed the preserva
tion of part of Ellen Smith Hall
in a Memorial Book Nook in the
addition to the Union.
Ellen Smith Hall, once housing
the Division of Student Affairs, is
being destroyed to make room for
additional campus erections.
The Victorian oak paneling, en
tryways, fireplace, balustrade and
stained glass skylight from the an
liquated building has been removed
in expectation of the memorial
Two plans for the proposed me
morial have been formulated, each
depending on the amount of alum
ni contributions.
The less costly plan would not
use the skylight or balustrade but
would decorate two walls of the
room with paneling, china cabinet
and fireplace.
Built in 1888 as a private home,
Ellen Smith Hall has been used
as a fraternity house, living quar
ters for members of the Student
Army Corps, YWCA hostess house
and has housed the Division of
Student Affairs.
The University bought the prop
erty in 1920. It was named in honor
of Ellen Smith, who joined the fac

Third Concert

Frenchmen
The third community concert,
"Les Chanteurs de Peris," will
be presented on Sunday at 8:15
p.m. in Pershing Municipal Au
ditorium. The group of singers is part
of the act of Varel and Bailly,
who are considered by many as
France's top song-writing team.
A resume of France's song
history, the Varel-Bailly concert
program touches cn the days of
the Troubadours, who were roving-singing
reporters, then the
Ecrivian Chanteurs who not only
reported and commented, but
also sang the life of their emo
tions. Finally Varel and Bailly
with the Chanteurs gave their
own hit songs in "Today."
Gals Get Spot Behind Rostrum
Women Argue Their Way Inlo Collegiate Debating
More than a few changes
have taken place through the
years on the University debate
squad, as the seven female
members can testify.
From 1901 to 1942 women were
barred from membership on the
debate team because they
"took unfair advantage of their
sex", said Don Olson, debate
coach.
The rule was passed in a
stormy session of the University
with Mildred Anstine, the sole
woman debater defending the
rights of the fairer sex. But
from that meeting until the fall
of 1941, no women were al
lowed in forensic activity.
Six women did come out that
year and with the war cutting
into the men's squad, they took
a more and more important part.
In 1943 the University was rep
resented by a squad composed
entirely of women.
Debate began only a few
months after the University
opened its doors. The Palladian
Literary Society, still in existence,
was the first group to sponsor
such activity.
As later literary societies de
veloped, the custom began of
weekly meeting. Some of the
topics under discussion w o n 1 d
still be of interest today.
"That the President of the
United States should hold but
one term of office".
"That the course of Russia in
the coming European war should
be condemned".
"That military instruction in
the United States should be abol
ished." On the other hand, many of the
topics are not likely to face one
of the University debaters.
"That the annexation of Can
ada would be beneficial to the
United States".
"That indecision was the great
est characteristic of Hamlet".
Every effort was made at the
debates to keep the meeting or
derly and heavy penalties were
assessed against those who did
not perform when scheduled. Sec
tion 10 of the Palladian consti
tution listed the fines as disor
derly conduct, 50c; non-performance,
50c. The severity of the
fines is indcated by the fact
that fifty cents was a good half
day's pay at that time.
In addition to the literary so
citiei, debating clubs sprang ep,
flourished a while and then

Full Workshop
Rush Joh Creates Problems
For 'Ondine' Stage Director
With the stage full of scenery,
the workshop just as full and more
flats to nail together, Dr. Charles
Lown, technical director of t h e
University Theatre doesn't know
where to go.
"We couldn't get the crews to
gether to work on 'Ondine' until
the second semester," Lown said.
That left him a little over two
and a half-weeks to prepare the
three sets for the theatre's pro
duction of the Jean Giraudoux play
the first week of March.
"But the work has been fun,"
Lown indicated. The newcomer to
the University theatre said that
the play is presenting his crews
with some unusual and difficult
problems.
"For example, we have some
real technical tricks up our
sleeves. Explosions, birds that
have to fly around the stage dur
ing the play, and a water fountain
are some of the things we have
to create for the play," the for
mer Drake University faculty
member indicated.
In the second act a water foun
tain has to become "ansrv."
"That's possible to do by shoot
ing the water high," Lown said.
But he added that water on the
stage presents problems of its
own, such as where to go with the
overflow. "So we're handling the
water problem with lights."
He said that when the fountain
becomes "angry" the red lights
failed.
Intercollegiate debating was
first proirpted by the Univers
ity in 1894 when the University
Debating Association was
formed to control the activity.
Debates were held with the Uni
versity of Kansas, Missouri and
Colorado between 1894 and 1902.
At this time debate was placed
under the direction of Miller
Fogg, who developed a four-year
plan known the "The System."
The Daily Nebraskan in 1902
carried the following description
of a returning Nebraska debate
squad which had defeated the
University of Missouri for the
first time in five years.
"When the train arrived the
debaters were greeted with col
lege yells and placed in a car

sentative on the council.
The YMCA had a representative
until four years ago when the group
became inactive.
The Council constitution, which
provides for a delegate from the
YMCA, was not altered at the time
of the ceactivation of the group,
Roman explained.
"According to the student coun
cil constitution we are still entitled
to a representative," Roman said,
"and we are going to insist upon
one."
"I have reason to believe that
the only way the Student Council
can reject our application is to
change its own constitution," Ro
man added.
Miss Gourlay Comments
Helen Gourlay, student council
president, said the the YMCA con
stitution has been referred to the
Judiciary .committee of the Coun
cil for an opinion.
Miss Gourlay stated that
will carry this illusion to the audience-
Lown, who is either in the class
room, at the drawing board de
signing scenery (he is currently
making preliminary plans for the
theatre's production of "The Lark"
in April) or in the workshop, said
there are two ways to approach
"Ondine."
"It's a fantasy which has to do
with man's lack of vision. So we
can show, through the scenery, On
dine's spirit which moves into
man's world or we could show
Ondine trying to enter the spirit
less man's world." Lown chose the
former.
"The scenery is primarily Goth
ic," he said. "It portrays the
closed-in feeling which a sea sprite
would get in a medieval world.
We suggest Ondine's movement
with light," he stated.
Midwest Debaters Raid NU;

Eighty-five debate teams consisting of students and
instructors from 44 midwestern colleges and universities
will participate today and tomorrow in the annual Uni

A sweepstakes trophy will be awarded to the school

was attached to the carriage and
everyone helped pull the victors

the question has arisen as to wheth
er the YMCA and YWCA are both
entitled to a separate representa
tive. The wording of the council
constitution is such that it can
be construed either way, Mist
Gourlay said.
Miss Gourlay said that person
ally she believed that each group
was entitled to a representative.
Kinnier Explain!
John Kinnier, council judiciary
committee chairman, indicated
that that committee has not yet
reached a decision, but that its
first action will be s ruling on the
new YMCA constitution.
This, he said will not be sub
ject tr a vote of the Council body,
but will merely be a judiciary
committee ruling.
Kinnier said he thought that the
two groups should have only on
representative.
Other Reorganization
Under their past constitutions,
the YMCA has had a president,
secretary-treasurer, one vice presi
dent and various committee and
board chairmen.
The constitution alteration will
provide for the following vice-presi
dencies: programs, projects, mem
bership, and ways and means.
No positions except that of the
president and the secretary-treasurer,
Grant Tetsuka, are aow
filled. Other officers will be filled
