Individuality
Steve Schultz Has 'Great Week';
'Outstanding' Award Is Tops
By Sandy KuIIy
Steve Schultz' tall (6 feet 4
inches) frame affords him in
dividuality in a crowd of peo
ple, and his achievements
have earned for him individu
ality in reward that of Out
standing Ncbraskan.
"This is the Greatest week
IV? ever had," Steve com
mented on the sudden honor.
"I was at the 'Music Man'
Saturday, got pinned Sunday,
'Scrip' came out on Monday,
and this topped it.
Twe 'Originals'
The Nevada, Iowa, senior
has two R's of education,
"reading and 'riting" (al
though he doesn't deny the
third R).
With them he has origi
nated and shaped two liter
. ary innovations on the cam
pus, "Scrip" magazine and
the Nebraska Masquers
play writing contest.
"'Scrip' wasn't my idea,"
he said. "The English de
partment was thinking
about a student literary
publication for some time
when they received a grant
of money for one," Steve
said as he folded himself
casually onto a chair. "They
were looking for a staff, and
I was elected editor."
After the English depart
ment chose the magazine
editor, it said nothing more
about how the publication
should be handled. That has

been left to Steve and his
staff.
Two Issues Planned
The editor beamed as he
talked of his growing off
spring. "We would like to have
two issues of the magazine
next semester. We're think
ing about adding art work
inside and articles of in
terest to people in other
arts music, painting,
architecture."
The English and speech
major hit upon the Mas-
Selections
GaveTime,
Talents
The traditional selection
of the Outstanding Nebras
kans for each semester has
resulted in a vast accumula
tion of the names and pic
tures of men and women
who have contributed their
talents to the University.
Some of the "old-timers"
whose work was judged a
contribution to the campus
are still with us this semes
ter. Ferris Norris, chairman
of the electrical engineer
ing department, and Duane
Lake, managing director of
the Student Union, were last
year's Outstanding Nebras
kans from the University
faculty.
Other faculty members
who have won the award in
the past and are currently
on the University faculty
roster include: Dr. O. K.
Bouwsma, professor of phil
osophy; Dr. Carl Georgi,
chairman of the bacteriology
department; Emanuel Wish
now, chairman of the music
department; Donald Olson,
assisstant professor of
speech.
Dr. George Rosenlof, dean
of admissions; Rev. Rex
Knowles, student pastor of
the Congregational-Presbyterian
House; Miss Mary
Mielenz, professor of sec
ondary education; W. V.

Steve wrote "some rather
bad poetry" in high school
and became seriously in

his freshman year.
He confessed that he
doesn't do too much writing
at the present, but he would
like to continue.
"Not for a living, though,"
he quickly added. "I'll prob

Williams directs .... drama, art his business
Dallas Williams
Coaching' s Loss
Theatre's Gain
The coaching profession
lost a dynamic individual
when Dallas Williams, Out
standing Nebraskan, de
cided to devote himself to
theater.
Dr; Williams, director of
University Theatre for 14
years, had spent almost two
years in a junior college in
Louisiana grooming himself
for athletics before he be
came interested in theater.
But once he discovered
the stage, or it discovered
him, he never wavered in
his devotion to it.
'Never Get Old'
"I've never seen a theater
person get old and crochety.
You can't. You get older,
but the kids stay the same
age. They keep you alive
and you can't have a pas
sive interest," Dr. Williams
said in explaining his love
of teaching and directing
theater.
"I'd hate to just teach
classes, and never see the
students again except to
pass them on the street,"
be added.
'One Love'
Since 1929, Dr, Williams
has been teaching his one
love, theater. Before that
for two years he travelled
with a summer stock com
,pany in the midwest
Each year he directs two
or three of the plays pro
duced by the University
Theatre personally. His
other duties include teach
ing dramatics classes and
aaninistrating the Theatre
branch of the scheech and
dramatic arts department.
Which plays does he enjoy
directing the most? Shake
speare, of course.
Imagination Needed
This is probably because
you have to use your imag
ination and creativity. No
floor plan comes with the
script, and so much of the
plays require interpreta
tion." But it is not the play itself
that makes theatre so stim
ulating, be said.

"It's like directing a
symphony. If the musicians
are good and have imagina
tion, and are intensely in
terested, the experience is
much more stimulating."
Tryouts Exciting
Sitting through tryouts is
another exciting experience
he said.
"You speculate, you won
der how they will be. Then
some freshman, or two or
three, will emerge and be
a person you remember."

Literature
"We sell ourselves short.
We just don't consider that
what is done here is as good
as what is accomplished
anywhere."
'Almost Unique
There is an atmosphere
here that is almost unique,
he said, and that is the lack
of affectation.
"There's something sin
cere, bonest, and straight
forward about the peopla
here," he said. He added
that this is particularly im
portant in the fine arts,
where often persons in
volved conceive inflated
opinions of their talents and
capabilities.
Dr. Williams explained
that as far as formal bob
bies go, he lacks them com
pletely. He added, however,
that anyone in theatre must
automatically have many
interests. Every play, h
said, brings an interest ia
the music and art, tht
makeup and the costumes
that go with it
