Masquers'
One-Act Play Contest
Rules Re-Announced
Rules for the original one
act play contest to be spon
sored by Nebraska Masquers
campus drama honorary
have been announced by
Steve Schultz, president
of the organization.
"The rules were announced
last spring," Schultz said
But we want campus wide
participation, and we thought
that another announcement
at this time would catch those
people who are new to the
university."
Regulations for the contest
are as follows:
(1) The contest is open to
any student, faculty mem
ber, or employee of the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
(2) All plays must be in
one act and must be original,
not translations. If the play
has been previously produc
ed, a statement giving the
time and place of presenta
tion should accompany the
script.
(3) Manuscripts must be
typewritten on one side of the
page and securely bound.
The author's name must not
appear on the manuscript,
but an entry blank giving
name, address and tele
phone number must be
placed in a sealed envelope
attached to the manuscript.
Neither Masquers nor the
Judges will assume liability
for the loss of manuscripts,
but every precaution will
be taken to return them.
(4) Any number of plays
may be submitted by an au
thor. (5) Entries must be
mailed or delivered to the
office of University Theatre,
108 Temple Building, by 5
p.m., November 14.
(6) Nebraska Masquers
reserve the right to produce,
royalty free, any of the en
tries during the academic
year of 1958-59.
(7) Three awards will be
made. First prize will be
twenty-five dollars.
"We wish to emphasize two
of these rules," Schultz said.
"First, that anyone connected
with the university may en
ter, and second, that we are
of
planning to produce some
these scripts.
We hope that this produc
tion will be a particular in
centive for entering, since
seeing a play onstage is the
only way one can really as
sess its value."
KU Party
Opposes
Prejudice
Study Urged
On Discrimination
A powerful student group at
the University of Kansas has
moved to fight racial discrim
ination in Lawrence.
The Allied Greek-Indepen
dent party announced In its
platform for the 1958-59 school
year that Student Govern
ment Week should be held
early in the fall semester in
stead of the spring to "elimin
ate racial discrimination in
Lawrence public places."
The president of the organ
zation was quoted in the
Daily Kansan as saying that
two-thirds of the Lawrence
restaurants catering to Uni
versity students "do not serve
colored students unless they
are in a mixed group, and at
least half of the rest catering
to students will not serve Ne
gro students at all."
The party plans to urge the
student council to make a
study of discrimination in
Lawrence.
"We can't tell now what ac
tion may be possible and cer
tainly no extreme or drastic
action is desired, but the ASC
should follow through with a
drive to eliminate discrimin
ation in Lawrence," the party
president said.

"Getting acquainted here

"I've been around young

"But your time is so occu

With no "real problems,"
Mother Harker finds being
housemother very interesting.
She found the Beta 'pinning

"It gives the pinning such
a serious atmosphere, which,
after all, it should have."
She was also thrilled with
the University campus.
"Everything is so centrally

tion to the soil testing labor
atory being considered by the
Board of Regents.
Harris Laboratories, Inc.,
of Lincoln, has sent the Reg
ents and state officials a let
ter opposing the plan to set up
the "best testing laboratory
in the Midwest" for use of
western Nebraska farmers,
Laboratory president Lew
is E. Harris said, "Such a
program would result in un
necessary expenditure of tax
funds, would serve no useful
purpose, would duplicate sim
ilar services already avail
able from independent labor
atories and would create ex
tremely unfair competition
for the taxpaying independ
ent laboratories in Nebras
ka." Regent J. LeRoy Welsh in
dicated at the last Board
meeting that some funds
might be available from in
dividuals to help set up the
program. He said more in
formation should be available
at the next meeting Friday.
Harris contends that pri
vately owned, independently
operated, tax-paying labora
tories throughout the state al
ready have adequate soil test
ing facilities and that these
laboratories "a r e already
faced with an unfair com
petitive situation with the soil
testing laboratory which has
operated on the Lincoln cam
pus for many years.
"To increase this unfair
competition," he continued,
"would be a gross injustice
to tax-paying laboratories."
Farmers may not know of
the availability of these
services, he said, but this is
being corrected.

Refueling
When the team arrived at
the airport in Purdue, the
planes were gassed up and
ready to go. Refueling of the
planes, a process that usually
takes an hour, was not neces
sary because a tail wind
came up.
"I realize it is hard to make
connections," the coach said.
"We could easily be just as
late as we were early,"
"I didn't know about the
welcome," Jennings said. He
was told at the airport that
a rally had been planned.
"I don't know who estimat
ed the arrival at 9 o'clock,"
he commented, adding that
originally 9 p.m. was the time
they had expected to arrive.
Rally Fine
When asked what he thought
of planning welcoming rallies
for the team, the coach said
emphatically, "I think- it's
fine."
Bob Wagner, president of
the Extra-Point Club, ex
plained the situation. The
team was supposed to arrive
at the airport at 9 p.m. The
Extra-Point Club sent a tele
gram to the radio stations in
Lincoln urging people to meet
the team when they landed.
"The plane left about an
hour earlier and the team, ate
on the plane so that put them
in about an hour and a half
before schedule."

The age old custom of letter painting on
the northernmost end of a southbound
coed's levis has been causing quite a com
motion on campus lately.
One sweet young thing moaned the other
morning that she had been carried for at
least four blocks to the central painting
station of one of the local social organiza
tions. Question of Legality
The big question this year seems to be
one of legality. Narrow escapes from the
wrath of the University police have been
reported by pledges who were abruptly
halted when they sallied forth, paint pot
in hand.
Dp the girls really go for this or not? It's
really hard to tell. From the sounds of the
mortally wounded-type screams you would
think the answer was no. But my Piper
Hall informant tells me that several were
trampled in the big rush to put on levis
and dash out screaming Saturday morn
ing. Derby Day
The Sig Chi's have solved the problem
of showing their flag around. They just
sponsor a Derby Day and the coeds come
out like flies, wearing prepared painting
surfaces.
All in all, it seems to be a harmless
sport and one that will probably hang on
for a long time.

appearance at Saturday's festivities,

not to dissolve even the daintiest of

into the airport for landing,
Wagner was notified of tha
early arrival.
"We had good intentions,
but it just didn't work out,"
the president of the Extra
Point club commented.
"It was just one of those
things," he said, adding that
he "really hated" to dissap
point the people who had come
to see the team land.
"We'll be trying again," he
said. "Those guys have really
been working hard. We're
trying to get people behind
them."
Went to Tell Crowd
Bill McQuistan, University
yell king, had been notified
before he went to the airport
that the team had already ar
rived. He and other members
of the yell squad went to the
airport to notify the crowd of
the early arrival.
"There was a good crowd,"
McQuistan said. "I think they
were disappointed. It's just
something that can easily
happen. It is not too often
they (the team) come in on
time."
McQuistan said he felt that
the team wculd have been
"inspired" by the welcome
planned at the airport but
that the uncertainty of the ar
rivals of chartered planes
made such a welcome diffi
cult to organize.
"Personally, I'll go out to
meet them again," he said.
Scheme "Undependable
When asked if he thought
arrivals like the one planned
would be planned again in the
future, McQuistan said the
difficulty of organiza
tion made such a scheme un
dependable. "In the future," comment
ed Brent Chambers, asst. yell
king, "the team's plans should
be better co-ordinated. It's a
shame that 200 people should
have to wait."
Chambers said the crowd
was "kind of disappointed
that they missed the team. I
guess they knew you can't de
pend on chartered planes."
