'Candide
Scheduled
Sunday
. In Community
Concert Series
"Candide," the second per
formance in the Community
Concert series, will be pre
sented Sunday at 8:15 p.m.
in Pershing Auditorium.
Admission is by member
ship only.
Music and Satire
Starring Robert Rounseville,
Martyn Green and Irra Pe
tina, "Candide" is a musical
work based on a satire.
Rounseville and Miss Pe
tina will recreate their origin
al Broadway roles.
The book "Candide" was
written by Lillian Hellman.
Leonard Bernstein composed
the music and Richard Wil
bur wrote the lyrics with ad
ditions by John Latonche and
Dorothy Parker.
In reviewing the musical,
Howard Taubman in the New
York Times said:
"Though music can be em
ployed satirically, it imposes
grave obstacles to the satirist.
His touch must be light and
his taste impeccable . . . .
Prokefieff had the touch . . .
Eernstein has it in "Candide."
Skill Used
"Mr. Bernstein has met this
test handsomely. There are
felicitous examples of his
skill throughout the score and
his orchestrations add spice
to the jest.
"There is nothing highbrow
about the music, though there
is a great deal of art in it.
The score of "Candide" speaks
directly ahd thoughtfully. Mr.
Bernstein- and his colleagues
have made another contribu
tion to the expanding poten
tials of America's musical theater."
Petsehe, a school of Joural-
ism alum, won the prize for
nis siuay on ponce-p r e s s
relations which appeared in
the April issue of the Ne
braska Newspaper.
Research Project
The article was based on a
survey he made as part of
his Journalism 199 research
project. He is now news edi
tor of the Denison, la., Regis
ter. "This is one of the highest
awards available to a student
journalist," Dr. William Hall,
director of the School of Jour
nalism, said. "It is awarded
to the student submitting the
best article contributed to an
outside magazine."
The University chapter of
Sigma Delta Chi won fifth in
the nation in the Beckman
report. The Beckman award
is given to the undergradu
ate chapter of Sigma Delta
Chi with the best overall pro
gram. High Tribute
"The Nebraska chapter has'
not been in the running for
the past several years," Dr.
Hall commented. "Winning
fifth is a high tribute to last
year s members and Dr. Rob
ert Cranford, their adviser."
Marilyn Coffey also won
third in feature writing. The
award is made to schools,
thereby giving the Universi
ty third place in that division.
The convention was held :

Panhellenic
Health
Council
Formed
A Health Council, composed
of representatives from all
sororities on campus, has
been organized by Student
Health and Panhellenic.
The council's purpose will
be to inform students of var
ious health problems and to
get suggestions from the stu
dents for Student Health. Last
year the council was able to
provide help and care for
those who contacted Asian flu.
Although ' only the Panhel
lenic Health Council has had
a meeting as yet, Interfra'
ternity and Inter-Coop chair
men have been appointed to
begin the same program. The
Panhellenic program is being
coordinated by Angie Holbert,
while Jim Anderson will di
rect the IFC's. Gary North
ouse is chairman of the Inter
Coop council.
In their Wednesday meet
ing, health chairmen wer
handed cold pills which are
being nsed for research to
determine which type pills are
the most effective. Brochures
reviewing Student Health In
surance were also distributed.
Another Food Handlers' In
stitute was also announced for
Dec. 12. The institute will be
held for busboys, giving a bas
ic course in dishwashing, per
sonal hygiene, sanitation and
sterilization.
Dr. Samuel Fuenning, medi
cal director of Student Health,
emphasized that both cooks
and busboys must obtain a
Food Handlers' card.
He also told of a Housing
Code which is now being pub
lished in booklet form. The
booklet will set forth mini
mum standards of light,
plumbing facilities, sleeping
space and ventilation.
Health Council meetings will
vary from once a month to
once a week, according t o
need, Dr. Fuenning explained.
Sigma Alpha Eta
Charter Granted
The national Assembly of
Sigma Alpha Eta, a society
for students preparing in the
fielus of speech and hearing
rehabilitation, has authorized
a charter for the University
chapter of the society.
Sigma Alpha Eta is head
quartered at Louisiana State
University and has 55 campus
chapters throughout the
United States. Organized in
1949, it is the only profession
al fraternity in speech and
hearing rehabilitation.
The local society, which
was admitted at the ninth an
nual National Assembly in
New York last Tuesday, will
be under the guidance of ad
visor Harlan Adams.
tee next week to look into thii
thoroughly," Miss Humphrey
said.
"We sent out letters to feel
out campus opinion on the
matter and the results of the
letters .are .still .being dis
cussed," she added.
Dwain Rogge, Student
Council President, declined to
comment on the Tassel vote.
Discussion
Informed sources said that
discussion of the motion took
approximately an hour and
many of the girls were in fa
vor of adopting the council
recommendations.
One Tassel, who declined to
be quoted by name, said,
"Since Tassels h a service
organization, it is not neces
sary for them to consider the
Homecoming Queen as their
reward for the work they do.
After all, Corn Cobs is a serv
ice organization and they
don't ask for a similar re
ward." Another girl, who also re
fused to be quoted by name,
said, "Since we do all the
work, we should at least have
three girls on the committee
that selects the Homecoming
Queen candidates."
Faculty Senate
Miss Humphrey stated that
if the Student Council refused
to approve the Tassels' con
stitution with the present
Homecoming Queen election
structure as it is, Tassels
would appeal to the Faculty
Senate.
The Student Council last
week recommended that the
Tassels give up two of their
representatives on the inter
viewing board which present
ly selects queen candidates.
The Council also recom
mended that the letters sent
to houses asking that they
nominate a queen candidate
include no recommendations
or suggested candidates, and
contain all information on the
selection of candidates.
Art Awards
Available
To Midwest
Artists in this region may
have a chance to continue in
dependent work with outside
financial aid.
Ford Foundation is offering
10 awards, worth $10,000 each
to American artists over the
age of 35 who are at the stage
in their careers when time to
concentrate upon their work
would conceivably promise
significant artistic reations.
The work of some 28 art
ists from region 8, including
Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri
and Kansas, has been sub
mitted to the University Art
Galleries. A national jury of
artists who have been ap
pointed by the Ford Founda
tion will be here December
12 to judge the work submit
ted. They will consider merit
of the artist's entry and his
need for outside assistance.
If any of the entries from
this region are selected, they
will be judged by the final
jury in New York City and
awarded the scholarships,
according to Norman Geske,
director of the University Art
Galleries.
