Theater to Relive 1890's;
Will Present 'Oleo' Acts
"History is being revived at Howell Theatre," accord
ing to Dallas Williams, director of "The Matchmaker."
Five "oleos" or variety acts will be presented between
acts of the play, March 11-14.
1890's History
According to theatrical history, many of the stage plays
given around the 1890's presented variety acts or "oleos"
during intermissions.
These variety acts were usually some type of a vaude
ville entertainment.
"Two old experienced vaudeville comedians" were re
ported in charge of one of the acts to be given at Howell.
The content of this act remains secret.
Vocal Entertainment
Sylvia Rigg, Leonard Kluthe and Cliff Soubier will pro
vide vocal entertainment for three other acts.
The Mary Anns Trio (Mary Ann Marris, Mary Anne
Timmons and Mary Ann Ryan) will supply more song.
A sixpiece German band will provide some music be
tween acts as well as accompanying the dance sequences
in the show.
Jack Snider, assistant professor of music, will direct
the band.
"The band and the oleo acts will add a festive note
and serve to fill out the evening's entertainment," com

Instruction
For Flying
Is Offered
Two Cadets Get
Private Licenses
Flight Instruction Programs
have been undertaken by both
the Air Force ROTC and the
Army ROTC.
As a bonus the students tak
ing these programs have an
opportunity to use this flight
training to earn their private
pilot's license.
A number of the senior stu
dents are selected to partici
pate in the program after they
have made an acceptable
score in the Officer Qualifica
tion Test. During the training
it can be determined whether
a student has an apptitude
for flying and whether he
should be sent on to flight
school.
Two Receive Licences
So far, two AFROTC cadets
have received their licenses.
Roger Wichman and Bryon
Kort started their training at
Arrow Airport on Nov. 26.
Their first hours were spent
in an introduction to general
procedures, principles, and
characteristics. After eight
hours of instruction their in
structor allowed them to take
their first solo flights.
After completing 12 hours of
solo time, a two-hour cross
country flight was made from
Lincoln to Beatrice, across to
York, and back to Lincoln.
The purpose of this flight was
to learn the technique of dead
reckoning navigation.
Flight to Omaha
Another cross-country flight
to Omaha and back was to
teach the use of radio naviga
tional aids and the procedures
used at a controlled airport.
After taking two more cross
country flights and passing an
CAA written exam, they had
to take a final check ride to
graduate from the FIP school.
To receive their pilot's
licenses, a checkride had to be
made with a CAA official in
the plane. Wichman made this
1-hour flight on Jan. 23, and
Kort made his flight last Fri
day, Feb. 27.

Farm Problem Solution Sited
Evans Suggests Utilizing Existing Programs
Lt of a Series
By Marilyn Caffey
The key to the long run solution for the
so-called "farm problem" lies in utilizing
existing programs to provide maximum
job mobility for the farmer, according to
research economist Bert Evans.
Information about job opportunities,
utilization of people from, farms in our
overseas program, recognition of the
farmer's immobility in legislation these
areas may provide partial solutions.
Technical Program
"The United States overseas technical
assistance program could provide more
job opportunities for people with farm
backgrounds," the economist said.
Since overseas assistance at first con
centrates on agricultural development, the
person with farming background plus
some technical training is most valuable
in this area.
Why not utilize those persons "with farm
ing backgrounds?' Evans queried.
Recommends
He recommended:
1) Providing them with background in
business or agricultural training to sup
plement their farming background.
2) Assuring them a short term job in a
foreign country.
After their experience abroad, they
would not have to depend on farming for
a living. Their education plus their exper
ience would fit them for other work.
Job Information
Information about job opportunities is
a "must" in providing mobility for the
farmer.
The existing Extension services and
other farm services could be used as out

final exams. Last year's show
was also given right befor
exams.
Smidt said that going Into
finals after rehearsing a show
for two months was too great
a hardship on the cast.
Dave Herzog, treasurer, ex
plained that the Kosmet Klub
show must be scheduled on
the University Calendar be
fore the fall semester. This
date must correlate with tha
open dates at the Municipal
Auditorium.
"We cot a bad data and
we just couldn't do anything
with it," Herzog commented.
f inances .
Financial difficulties en-
countered in last year'i
spring show, "Annie Get Your
Gun." were due. in nart. ta
the scheduling of the show,
Herzog said.
The show drew an estimat
ed 1,300 people each night,
according to Smidt. He
blamed the attendance on the
fact that many students
stayed home to study for the
exams.
Kosmet Klub lost "auite a
bit" on the spring show last
year, the treasurer said.
Large Amount
Although Herzog declined to
name a specific amount lost,
he said it was "sufficiently
large to soak up our re
serves."
"As far as finances go, the
Kosmet Klub is now In healthy
shape," he emphasized. "We
don't have a deficit."
Although the group had a
deficit when they went into
the fall show, they emerged
"in the black."
Close Check
The financial loss encurred
last soring was due also to
failure to keep a close check
on tne money spent by some
of the areas of production
such as the technical produc
ers, the treasurer explained.
"As a result, budgets
weren't even recognized.
Some budgets were spent
twice over," Herzog com
mented. This situation has been
remedied by requiring specif
ic reports of expenditures dur
ing the production of a show,
Herzog said.
"There will be a fall review
and a spring show next year,"
Smidt said.
This will be the first time
in many years that Kosmet
Klub has not presented a
spring show.
WA'A Application
Due Tomorrow
Applications for WAA posi
tions are due Thursday at 3
p.m.
The applications are outside
the WAA office in Grant Mem
orial. An interview sheet is
also posted.
Applicants should sign up
for an interview when they
turn in their applications. In
terviews will be held from 3:30
to 5:30 Friday.
The positions are open to
all coeds with a 5 average or
above. Thirteen positions are .
open.
lets for this information, Evans said.
Provisions included on some legislative
measures could help speed the allocation
of human resources from the agriculture
to other areas.
Social Security
For instance, Evans explained, had the
recent act which included farmers in so
cial security benefits been drawn up dif
ferently, more farmers would have been
able to retire.
In the measure, the years 1955-56 were
used as a basis to calculate the farmer's
income. These years were extremely low
income years for the farmer, among the
worst since the 1930's compared to the
rest of our economy, Evans said.
"It deprived many older farmers of a
real opportunity for retirement," he com
mented. Other Possibilities
Likewise, labor bills and regulations of
professions could be drawn up to insure
the farmer more job opportunities.
Measures such as the G. I. Bill and civil
sen5ce opportunities for college students
have provided real job mobility for the
farm-youth in the past. They have pro
vided the means for education needed to
move into other areas.
"Opportunities such as these," Evans
commented, "need to be extended down
to the high school level. Better informa
tion is also needed in the high schools in
farming areas."
"As long as we do have these and other
existing facilities," he continued, "why
not utilize them more fully tohelp solve
the basic agricultural problem providing
mobility for farm people to move into
other areas of work." -
