Somewhere Mark Van Dor

this brief line sums up the

challenged order and strug

success.
Joan, beset by louts and
threatened by awful clerics,
stood strong and bold in the
face of her torments Wednes

walked from the theatre a

Miller
Joan, p 1 a y e d by Jacquie
Miller, is a deep, a saintly,
an "ungraspable" character
as Anouilh represents her. In
spots Miss Miller reached the
peaks w hich may well be Joan
as she faced her inquisators.
The University Theatre s Joan
was powerful, contrasting the
might of a warrior with the
humility of a saint. Where she
fell down, her supporting play
ers lifted the play back to its
heights.
Cliff Soubier as Cauchon
created a truly w onderful role
the show's best. Williams has
cast a man with a voice who
does not substitute noise for
feeling, thunder for lightning
As a matter of fact Soubier's
performance is one of the
tops in the theatre all year.

Henry Blanke, as the in

(lawless and his keeping with

When fair weather rolls
around and causes the stu
dents to raise their spirits and
spend more time off-campus,
the parking problem is not as
severe. Also many students go
home on week-ends in the

IFC Review
Rush Problem
Theta Chi Remains
On Social Probation
William Bogar, principal of Lincoln High School, told th
IFC Wednesday night that fraternities should never be ia
the position of breaking the law.
He stated that the main complaint of parents and high
school administrators alike concerned the practice of serv
ing beer to rushees.
Bogar also brought out that
spring rushing tends to take
the student s interest away
from the high school activities
to which it rightly belongs.
Following Bogar s talk it
was pointed out that in order
to give the rushee a correct
idea of fraternity life it was
necessary to have him down
during the school year.
Bogar did not disagree with
this.
It was also mentioned that
a big factor in spring rushing
was that every house was do
ing it and a combined effort
would be necessary to put a
stop to the practice.
Theta Chi
An executive committee rec
ommendation, passed bv t h e
IFC, stated that Theta' Chi
would remain on social pro
bation for the remainder of
the academic year.
It was explained however
that the fraternity could en
gage in all rushing activities
except functions which must
be registered with the univer
sity, specifically formats,
house parties, and functions
with other organized houses.
Rush Committee
John Glynn announced the
IFC rush committee. Mem
bers include:
Larry Novicki, Delta Upsi
lon; Larry Schrag, Phi Kappa
Psi; Dick Basoco, Theta Xi;
Del Rassmussen, Sigma No;
Darrel Zessin, Alpha Gamma

How Crowded?
How crowded are the fac

Police survey taken during
February shows that during
that time
Area A was never filled
to capacity.
Area B usually had 30 or
more empty spaces at 8 a.m.
but filled by mid-morning.
Area C usually ran at near
capacity with tbe exception of

Bogar Calls
For Effort
"Fraternities must exert
every effort to give proper
leadership on campus to im
prove conditions and also the
reputation of the University of
Nebraska."
These were the words of
William Bogar, principal of
Lincoln High School.
Bogar stated that the Ne
braska Association of School
Administrators had formally
discussed the undesirable con
ditions which high school stu
dents face when they visit the
university campus.
Members of this association
have informally discussed the
possiouity of suggesting to the
Board of Regents that fresh
man pledging be banned as a
means of combatting this
problem.
Bogar hesitated to be quot-
; ed as an expert on this mat
ter and he feels that the fact
that the IFC invited him to
visit with them indicates that
they themselves are well
aware of the problem which
exists.
Declining to give any names
or instances of specific corn
plaints Bogar said he didn't
wish to "put anyone on the
spot."
There is a Board of Regents
ruling prohibiting the rushing
of Lincoln high school stu
dents prior to their gradua
tion. . . -
the administration for allevi
ation of parking ills can be
as risky as forecasting
weather.
Pittenger foretold the devel
opment of areas surrounding
the campus into parking lots.

the campus," be said, "it be
