idea for the Intercollegiate
Talent and Variety Show.
Under his leadership, talent
from the University of Kan
sas, University of Nebraska
and Kansas State met on the
Kansas State campus to par
ticipate in the first intercol

Snow Clean-Up
Needs Early Start
While students slept early
Tuesday morning with visions
of staying home from classes
instead of fighting their way
through the snow, a dozen
University employes were
clearing the streets and side
walks for the 8 o'clock class
rush.
At 4:30 or 5 a.m. each
morning after a new snow,
three crews attack streets
and sidewalks with shovels
and snowplows before s t u -dents
and cars pack the snow
as the day's activities be
gin. Early Start Needed
Chester Billings, University
landscape architect in charge
of the ground crews, said "it's
mighty tough for these boys"
to start removing snow in biting-cold,
early morning
weather, but it's a necessity
when "you realize what a
thousand students walk
ing down a sidewalk means"
to snow removers later.
With the lightly-equipped
plows the Division of Build
ings and Grounds has, the
packed snow cannot be re
moved until melting weather,
Billings said.
The University has to con
tract heavy snow removal
equipment for 12th and 15th
Sts. which are under its
jurisdiction.
Cars Cause Trouble
Parked cars left, on these
streets during and after a
snow cause much trouble in
removal, Billings stressed.
The plows push snow up
against the cars making it
difficult to get out the next
day. Persons who want to
park in these stalls later have
additional trouble in getting
in and out, he said.
However, the city of Lin
coln has responsibility of re
moving the snow from most
of the-streets on or near
campus such as R, U, Vine,
10th, 14th and 16th, Billings
continued.
Removal of snow from side
walks or house walks on
streets such as 16th, is pro
vided for by Lincoln ordm
ances. The snow must be re-

The University custodial
force removes snow from

sity buildings, he said.
Less At Ag
Besides the dozen men who
work on the city campus, an
other 10 remove snow and ice
from walks on the ag cam
pus. However, due to the
smaller number of walks
there, the work isn't so inten
sive, Billings said.
The city crew has three
small plows, the ag crew
one.
The crew must be main
tained all winter for emer
g e n c y calls, Billings said.
During lax times, they work
on other campus projects uch
as tree pruning and improve
ment of parking lots.
Three

Nancy Beat's Find Mixups
By Pat Dean
Nancy Beal is a junior in teachers col

senior in teachers college.
Unbelievable? Not really because she is
actually three different people.
On Adds V
And three Nancy's with the same last
name can be quite a problem, even though
the junior in home ec spells her last name
Beall.
The administration can readily testify to
the name problem since the Teacher's Col
lege Beals' mail have been mixed fre
quently. While living at the Zeta Tau Alpha house
during the summer school session, the two
girls frequently received the wrong mail.
The two Miss Beals have also had sev
eral classes together, including a course
in Shakespeare last semester in which
they sat next to each other. This confused
the instructor at times, the girls reported.

Frequent Problem
was doubly confusing for Nancy Beal, (ju
nior in teachers college) and Nancy Beall
since they went through pledge training
for Alpha Omicron Pi together.
Phone Mix-up
At first, phone calls for the young ladies
were rather perplexing. One phone call was
particularly so. An unsuspecting young
man called for a date with Nancy Beall.
But whoever intercepted the message
evidently didn't hear the double 1 and con
nected him with Nancy Beal. By the time
the date had been arranged, however, he
was paired off with Helen Beal, Nancy's
older sister.
Another confused telephoner called Nan
cy Beal (junior in teachers college) for
the assignment in their English class.
Nancy couldn't place the student's name,
however. "But I sit right behind you," the
boy protested.
"You couldn't," replied Nancy, "I sit in
the back row."
A quick check revealed that the boy
really wanted to speak to Nancy BealL

Pledge Sneaks

Bliss, Bob Paine, Jerry

chairman.
The IFC has held their last
two meetings informally be
hind closed doors in order to
discuss freely some of the
problems facing fraternities.
Proposals Resulted
According to IFC President
Gary Cadwallader these pro
posals have resulted from the
closed meetings and they are
the basic agenda for t o -night's
meeting.
Cadwallader stated that he
was strongly in favor of the
changes as suggested.

Unicameral
Measures
Discussed
By Faculty
Senate Tuesday
Legislative bills and corn
mittee reports were discussed
by the Faculty Senate in their
meeting Tuesday at Love
Library.
The Committee on Commit
tees recommended the forma
tion of a Space Utilization
Committee which would seek
to improve existing space con
ditions at the University.
A recommendation concern
ing the Board of University
Publications was sent back to
the Committee on Committees
for further discussion. The
Committee had recommended
that the Board of University
Publications and the Commit
tee on University Studies be
consolidated into a Committee
on Publications under the
jurisdiction of Bruce Nicoll,
Director of University Publi
cations. A further amendment con
cerning the number of mem
bers on the committee was
proposed and will also be re
vised. Legislative bills pertaining
to the University were also
read and explained to the
Senate.

the ball unless a no drinking
rule was absolutely enforced.
IFC members said they could
not promise this, and the ball
was dissolved.
In 1956 on March 9, the or
iginal date for the ball, a
eroup of private individuals
planned a Mallard Club Ball,
and ran an ad in the Daily
Nebraskan urging students to
go. The Administration pro
nounced the event "out of
bounds" and the club can
celed the dance.
Then in 1957, the ball was
reinstated, with pledges from
all fraternity presidents that
they would see that there was
no drinking at their houses.
More than 1,500 persons at
tended the 1957 ball, which a
"Daily Nebraskan" editorial
termed a "success".
"The success of the 1957
Interfraternity Ball proves at
least two things," Fred
Daly's editorial said. "Fra
ternity men at the University
are willing and able to up
hold University rules on
drinking and are capable of
such responsibility and sec
ondly, you don't have to
drink to have a good time."
Last year the ball had a
"poor turnout" according to
John Glynn, vice-president of
the IFC, with a $800 or $900
loss.
Tickets for this years ball
are $2.75 with the same band
nlavinff that played in 1957,
Jay McShann. The ball will
be held at Turnpike Ball
room. Th'eta Sig Meets
Theta Sigma Phi, national
