Addressing the Ass n. of American Universities and the Assn. of Graduate Schools Tuesday in Chicago, Weaver added, "Federal aid is adding great strength to research and graduate study in the nation's universities and colleges, but at the same time creating Hinshaw, Owens Plan Recital Harvey Hinshaw and Joseph rWons nf ttm University Mu sic department, will present j a recital xnursaay ai :ju p.m. in the Union Ballroom.

Lysistrata should be unique in certain respects, Russell said. For example, no cur tains will be used. Scene changes win be Indicated by changes in lighting. "We will .try to fit the au dience psychologically into the play by using such de vices as using the steps in front of the stage as props," Russell said. problems which call for thoughtful caution." More Federal Aid Weaver noted that two thirds of all research expen ditures in American institu tions of higher learning came through federal grants and contracts this year, and that the continuing and multiply ing research needs -will as sure an accelerated growth of federal support. He added thct faculty re search offers vitality to the classroom and opportunity es sential to high faculty morale and provides facilities which could not otherwise be pur chased. Suggesting, however, a wary appraisal of the effects of government-supported re search, Weaver listed five principal reservations to the program Inadequate Coverage The projects are not always adequately covered by grants and contracts and university funds must sometimes be used, he said. Nearly 95 of the money last year went to the natural sciences and over looked the social sciences and humanities. Graduate students are de prived of independent and in dividual study when assigned to the fragments of an in structor's project, he conthv ued. professor, because of an extra salary grant, may accept projects which he would otherwise not under take and be tempted to be come a full-time researcher instead of a teacher. A premium is placed on new graduate programs, he said, when it is needed for existing programs. Ag Engineer To Demonstrate E. A. Olson, University Ex tension engineer, will help conduct a demonstration on the tilt-UD construction of a beef cattle shelter in Concord ! Thursday. The demonstration will be held at the Northeast Nebras ka Agricultural Experiment Station. Larry Donegan of the Portland Cement Association will assist Olson.

Still Vacancies There is still room in the group scenes for both men and women, Russell said. In terested students may con tact him anytime. Fir9t rehearsal was held Monday night. First crew meeting will be 8 p.m. today in Howell Theatre. Since the dominant theme in what Russell terms this "raucous comedy" is that war is stupid, costumes may re flect an international air. Russell said that they have been toying with the idea of dressing the Amazon women in such a way that each would be dressed representative of a different country, such as Russia, China, France and Germany. The implications of such costuming would be that no matter who originates it, war is a ridiculous thing. Where Your Money Goes AUF Gives to Crippled Children, Muscular Dystrophy Association This is the third article in the series, "Where Your Money Goes", concerning contributions collected by the All-University Fund. The articles will explain each of the charities that AUF will donate to ihis year, and the various purposes the charity serves. Thirty-five percent of the money col lected by AUF will go to the Muscular Dystrophy Associations of America and the Lancaster County Committee for Crip pled Children. The Muscular Dystrophy Associations will receive 20 percent and the Committee for Crippled Children will get 15 percent. 200,000 Suffer Conducting and sponsoring research, establishing clinics and distributing infor rca -;n about the disease are some of the functions of the Muscular Dystrophy As sociation. An estimated 200,000 children and young adults suffer from the disease. At present, the Institute for Muscle Dis ease is being built by MDAA in New York. The building will be a center of research and a repository of information on all aspects of muscle study. The Association gives grants-in-aid to research and disseminates new knowledge about the disease among professional groups. There are 316 active MDAA chap ters with representation in every state but Trick er Treat'- Tiny Spooks Do Well on Campus Should you bump into a spook or witch about 3 foot high Friday night, treat it kindly. It probably has a paper sack in its hand and is invading campus intent on tricks and treating. .' Each year a few little beggars dressed in sheets or rags or black dresses wander inttS the Union, looking for candy or food to put in their sacks. Little Spooks Treated And the little spooks are usually treated to a coke or an apple, the student union manager said. But when spooks approach the 6 foot high level and wear ivy league trousers, the free food doesn't flow so easily. Sorority houses prepare for the invasion from Never never land by stocking their pantries with pop corn, candy kisses and other goodies. Spook Show In honor of Halloween, the Union is featuring a double feature spook show designed to "scare the yell out of the stoutest men," said John West, film chairman. Boris Karloff stars in "Bride of Frankenstein" and Otto Kruger may be seen in "Dracula's Daughter." Both movies will be shown in the Union ballroom Friday at 8 p.m. Admission is 10 cents per person. Although few pranks are played on University campus on Halloween, some precautions are necessary. The constructors of the Union addition are posting guards at the site that night to insure adequate protection of the construction material. What with the excitement of homecoming display Judging and the crowds viewing the work of weeks, the tiny goblins may be lost in the shuffle. Polls Open Day Early On Campus Election polls open a day early on the University cam pus.

The Congressional and gubernatorial positions will be included in the elec tion, as well as other state positions and proposed amendments to the state con stitution. "This will give the students a realistic idea of the voting process," said Beth Wilson, YR model election chairman, "and will make them more aware of their government." Voting desks will be in the Union lobby, Love Library lobby, near the north door of Social Science, and in the Ag Union. "All students are urged to take this opportunity of ex pressing their opinions," said Miss Wilson.
