Planetarium
'Autumn Sides' Attendance Low;
Fall Term Gives Little Help Howe
"Attendance at 'Autumn
Skies,' featured at Ralph
Mueller Planetarium, has
been low since the beginning
of school," said John Howe,
coordinator of the planetar
ium program.
Howe added that tourists
and townspeople constituted a
fairly large audience for the
shows during the summer,
but very few University stu
dents have attended this fall.
Several outstate public
schools are scheduled to at
tend programs during the
year.
Music
Hi-fidelity music introduces
the evening program and
serves as a background
throughout the show. The

Half Paid
She estimated that half of
the Tassel organization be
longed now to the Extra Point
Club.
"Of course, many of the
girls were already members
before Monday's meeting,"
she added.
Schrag said that an esti
mate of the number of mem
berships sold by Corn Cob
workers was impossible be
cause workers were still sell
ing the memberships.
"I think we'll get 100 per
cent membership," he added.
Al Krizelman, cheerleader,
reported that the drive was
still not getting very good sup
port from the student body.
No Sales
"Excepting for Tassels and
Cobs, we're not selling too
many student memberships,"
he said. "If fraternities, soro
rities and organized nouses
would get 100 per cent behind
the drive too, I think the whole
University would back it."
Out-state and Lancaster
county sales were reported
"going very good", by Bob
Wagner, president of the Ex
tra Point Club.
"Last year we gave $4,500
to the University athletic de
partment," he said, "and
we're trying to make it at
least $15,000 this year."
At least half of this amount
will come from Lancaster
county, he said.
No Close
No closing date for the
drive has been set, and a final
tally of money collected will
probably not be available un

Scholastic
Minimum
Upped Again
The Black Masque Chapter
of Mortar Board has voted to
raise the minimum scholastic
average for membersship to
6.5.
This is in keeping with their
selection criteria, scholar shp
as well as leadershp and ser
vice. It was pointed out by Dean
Snyder at the meeting
Wednesday that this is still
below the average required
by many of the groups in the
national honorary.
Several years ago the chap
ter began raising the average
from the original 6. Last
year's Mortar Boards were
required to have at least a
6.4 average to be considered
for membership.
"Our requirements before
were just barely above the
minimum requirements of
National Mortar Board,"
Nancy Copeland, Mortar
Board president said, "and
now they are more in keeping
with other chapters in the
nation."

Howell Strategy Planned
For 2 -Barrel Campaign
By Dick Shugrue
The University Theatre will be opening
a double-barreled campaign next week to
kick off a gala theatre season for patrons
of the Howell Theatre.
Dallas S. Williams, director of the Uni
versity Theatre, has mapped out a master
plan to get new patrons for the" theatre
and keep the old stand-bys. And his ap
proach, from all indications, will get the
job done.
Honorary Producers
Highlighting the campaign will be the
Honorary Producers contest which begins
Tuesday. Williams noted that every cam
pus organization, all the Greeks and the
independent houses have been asked to
take part in the frontal assault on "cul
tural apathy" on the campus.
And the major "secret weapons" theatre
people will be baiting the public with are
getting results. "I received nine replies
the first day," Williams pWd out, "And
each of the organizations indicated it
wanted to help in the Honorary Producers
contest." "
Nebraska Masquers, honorary theatre
group, is handling the bulk of the ticket
'sales. Much of the selling, however, will
be left to the house "producers."
Added Attractions
Added incentives aimed at selling more
tickets are:
1) A special price of $5 for the 5-show
season.
2) A completely transferable ticket,
which can be used for each of the five
performances or for a party of five per
sons at any one show.
3) A saving for organized houses, which

IFC May
Rushing
A change in the fraternity
rushing program may result
from Wednesday's Interfra
ternity Council rush meeting.
John Glynn, vice president
of the Interfraternity Council
and chairman of the IFC rush
committe, said that the com
mittee hopes to "revamp rush
week altogether." In addi
tion to the complete change
in rush week, mention was
made of having a second se
mester rush week and of
carrying on the most exten
sive out-state rushing pro
gram ever conducted by IFC.
The new rush week would
include more than the pres
ent eight compulsory open
house periods and would
double the number of rush
dates. Glynn said that this
new schedule would be car
ried out in approximately
the same three-day period
that the present setup now
uses.
Primary reason for making
such a change in rush week
would be to "cut down in
tensive rushing" and "give
rushees a better chance to
look around," Glynn said.
Mention was also made of a
new method of pledging. The
rushee, instead of walking
over to the house of his
choice to accept a pledge pin,
would put down his first three
preferences on paper and
The Daily Nebraskan
Adopt
Changes
turn it over to the IFC.
The rush chairmen of the
various houses could then
look over the list and choose
their pledge classes from it.
A house would have priority
on any man that listed that
house as his first preference.
The second innovation that
was discussed at the meeting
was the possibility of having
another rush week during the
second semester. A commit
tee will be set up next
Wednesday to investigate such
a possibility and determine
whether it would be practi
cable. The final problem brought
up before the committee was
the lack of interest in fra
ternities shown by matriculat
ing freshmen. An inadequate
out-state rushing program
was blamed by a majority of
the men present at the meet
ing. Another investigating com
mittee will be established to
consider the problems of ex
panding the present out-state
rushing program.
Interviews
Spring Day committee inter
views will begin Saturday at
9:30 a.m.
Students may sign up on
the door of the Student Coun
cil at any time for an interview.
can sell the tickets for $4 and "keep the
change" or give the extra buck to the pro
ducer in that house.
4) A dinner Oct. 22 at the Cornhusker
Hotel forall the house producers.
5) A "formal" opeir.ng night, complete
with tuxes and announcement of the
Honorary Producers.
"The theatre wants to express its ap
preciation for what the organized houses
are doing to make our season a success,"
Williams explained.
These added incentives should give
more students an opportunity to attend the
theatre's season of comedy and, at the
same time, make the theatre ticket-sales
program more of a campus activity, he
indicated.
Merchant of Venice
The opening show of the season will be
The Merchant of Venice, starring Charles
Weatherford as Shylock and Jo Couch as
Portia. It will run Oct. 22-25.
Aristophanes' Lysistrata will be the sec
ond show on the bill and opens Dec. 10,
closing the 13th.
The Cloak, by Puccini, is scheduled Feb.
4 to 6, and is being produced in coopera
tion with the Department of Music.
March 11-14 The Matchmaker, written
by Thornton Wilder, will be on the Howell
Theatre boards, and the season will close
with Eugene O'Neill's Ah! Wilderness,
running May 6 to 9.
Williams is directing The Merchant of
Venice and The Matchmaker. A new
comer to the University Theatre, Joseph
Baldwin, will direct Ah! Wilderness. Don
Russell will handle the director's chores
for Lysistrata.

Council
Requests Constitutions
The Council is also request
ing two copies of the consti
tutions of every organization
on campus, according to Gary
Frenzel.
"We want to up date the
older constitutions which pre
date the Student Council rules
set up in 1951", Frenzel ex
plained. He stressed that by doing
this now the organizations
would be saving time in the
future.
"This means that we will
need copies of the constitu
tions of all activities, honor
aries, professional organiza
tions, and the like", he added.
At the present, many of
these constitutions are illegal.
The Student Council Judiciary
committee and the faculty
sub-committee will simply
bring the constitutions up to
date, making them legal.
In accordance with a rec
ommendation from its judici
ary committee, the Council
ruled Wednesday that Gary
Rodgers was officially eligible
to sit on the Student Tri
bunal. Committee chairman Gary
Frenzel pointed out that un
der the present charter the
Student Council was the only
organization having the power
to rule on the eligiblity of
Tribunal members.
Earlier Announcement
Joe Baldwin, chairman of
the Tribunal, had earlier an
nounced to the Daily Nebras
kan that Rodgers would re
main as a judge.
The tribunal charter speci
fies that there shall be two
junior members. Even though
Rodgers is in Law College
he is a junior in the eyes of
the University because of his
number of credit hours.
Seating at Games
A resolution that each or
ganized house take the re
sponsibility of keeping their
section at home football
games free of uninvited
guests and to see that their
own members do not en
croach upon the sections of
other houses was called for
by Kathy Roach of the Coun
cil social committee.
After a discussion in which
it was pointed out that most
of the trouble was caused by
fraternity-sorority functions
in which everyone tried to sit
in the section belonging U
the house with the best seats,
the resolution was tabled for
rewriting.
