ins Luiiy ieui ua.vui i Newcomers Stand Out In Henry IV Opening l$y 'Carroll .Novickl First-nighters " at Howell Theatre saw some bright newcomers join some old re liables in a presentation of Henry IV that was, except for a few minutes at the be ginning, solid entertainment J1 the way through. ' Generally good casting and amazingly smooth execution conveyed intact the timelesg appeal of Shakespeare to a full and appreciative house. Plant Changed The play begins with King Henry IV planning to go off on the Crusades. His plans are changed by a dispute with his effects on the carefree life led by the throne, the Percies and their allies. It centers about an exchange of several Scotch prisoners for the ransom of Morti mer, claimant to the throne. However, dissension within the opposing group weakens and divides it and the king's army is victorious. These developments have important effects on the carefree lige led by the king's son and his questionable compan ions. Dramatic elements of the story are alternated with comic scenes, and both are fused into a unified whole. Rice Is Good Stan Rice, Prince Hal, was very good as the epitome of the most gracious and gen erous elements in English manhood. He was at ease and effective in a difficult part. Richard Marrs, as Falstaff, Hal's irre sponsible and merry companion, was funny and loud, but people who have seen h'jn In previous plays will definitely feel that he Isn't working at his part or the part's full potential.

He was convincing and competent as the hot headed and impetuous, but chivalrous and noble Hotspur. Good Suprort Zeff Bernstien, King Henry IV, recited his lines well. . Good supporting performances were turned in by Jerry Mayer as Poins, Eric Prewitt as Glendower, and Diana Peters as Lady Percy. Ken Barnhouse as Doug las, Charles Tisdale as the Earl of North umberland, and Leanne Jensen as Mis tress Quickley were towards the lower end of the quality scale. All in all, the comic scenes were much better done than were the dramatic ones. The Boar's Head Tavern scene in the first act is hilarious, and Falstaff's soliloquy on honor before the battle has the same sort of appeal as Malachai Stack's disser tation on vice in "The Matchmaker." The performance of the cast was ac cented by the finest staging and costum ing that I have seen in a University Theatre production. Consistently High The level of quality and workmanship was consistently high and the treatment of the tavern and battle scenes was out standing. The work of the production crew is par ticularly commendable since the cast is large and there are at least 14 different settings. This is one of Shakespeare's most popu lar plays and the University Theatre treatment makes it an evening's enter tainment well worth the time.

Grads' Day Got Early Start Here Saturday To Mark 47th Homecoming Homecoming games are about as much a part of the American football tradition as the T formation or the Ivy League. And Nebraska,- for years, a traditional football power, got off to an early start with the "Weldome Grads" custom, too. The first Homecoming for Nebraska was in 1912. The Huskers entertained the Kan sas Jayhawks that year and walked away with a 12-0 shut out to make the Inauguration of Homecoming successful. The tradition of Homecom ing developed out of the prac tice of the faculty entertain ing parents, taxpayers and friends at the campus and ac quainting these people with the University. Attendance was found to be greater at football games than at these entertainment ses sions and the two were there fore combined. As time went by, the Alumni Association jumped on the Homecoming bandwagon in helping pro mote the now traditional event. The festivities after that first Homecoming event in cluded an informal banquet. In 1923, the tradition of house decorations was instituted by the Innocents Society. These displays consisted mainly of welcome signs for alumns. During the war years, Homecoming lost much of its glamour and color. Today the Homecoming dance, with its feature attrac tion a nationally famous vocal group, is again the main event of the traditional festivities. Red Cross First Aid Available Tent Is Manned At Home Games If the 1959 Homecoming Queen should suddenly faint before the halftime ceremony Saturday, troops from the Red Cross first aid tent would rush to her aid. The Red Cross tent is op erated by a force of students who have had first aid in struction. The tent became a permanent fixture at all Uni versity football games three years ago, according to Dr. Samuel Fuenning, director of Student Health. He explained Red Cross as sistants are located through out the stadium and can be recognized by their red and white arm bands. Each person is in charge of certain sections and is available if needed. An ambulance is kept avail' able for emergencies arising on the football field or in the stadium. Dr. Fuenning reported the ambulance had not been used for an injured football player for several years. Besides the ambulance, the Red Cross has two station wagons In re serve for extra emergencies. Dr. Fuenning said no seri ous accidents had occurred while he has been at the Uni versity. Most first aid treat ments are given for scratches, minor burns, faint ing and cuts caused by broken glass. Fudge Popcorn Balls CORN SHOP MlawBs Council Discusses By Mike Milroy Spirit and-the causes of its scarcity were subjects - of floor discussion by the Stu dent Council at its regular meeting Wednesday. . Bob Krohn, first vice presi dent of the Council, an nounced some observations made by the Council execu tive committee on University spirit, and then the floor was open to discussion. This dis cussion included questions di rected to the officers of Tas sels and Corn Cobs. Coordination The executive committee observed that it was "ob vious" that there has not been the coordination between the various pep groups that there should be. One of the reasons given for this by Krohn was the absence of past years' records of the various activities of the or ganizations since graduating members failed to supply past procedures. He also mentioned that the Kernels were loosely organ ized and that no one had ac cepted responsibility for them even though it is stated in the constitution of the Corn Cobs that they are to be the Kernel's governing body. It also was noted that there has . been a noticeable lack of cheering among the pep organizations who have as their main purpose the task of promoting spirit. One Council member asked if the work of selling var ious items was absorbing too much of the organization's time. Savener's Answer Jane Savener, Tassels President, answered that "or ganizing pep rallies takes up most of the time and sales of such things as Cornhus kers are a service. to the school. Sales of flowers, bal loons, etc., are a promotion for spirit," she said. Roer Wehrbein stated that Morrison Picked For YD Talk . Frank Morrison, Lincoln attorney and candidate for governor in 1960, will be the featured speaker of the Young Democrats buffet dinner Sun day at 4:30 p.m. The dinner will be $1.50 and will be held at the Corn husker Hotel. Persons interested in attending should contact Ross Greathouse at 2-6528, or John Kewin at 2-7831. Sparkling House Displays HOMECOMING., and the Spirit that is Nebraska I After days of hustle and bustle pre parations, the campus settles back to welcome home Its alumni. All in splendor arrayed are the decorations; floats and crowns are readied; and the stadium awaits the cheer of "Go ay Huskers" resounding with the grand and glorious spirit of Nebraska, proudest in the land. Golds OF NEBRASKA Tassels, Cobs Corn Cobs had a problem of membership at the present time and there were only 35 Cobs in the section to yell. When Chuck Wilson asked If sales were hindering the sight of their main goal and their membership, Wehrbein said, "Cobs are going to ex amine this, but we feel that flowers contribute definite spirit to NU and we stand solidly behind pur flower sales as spirit boosters." John Hoerner asked the Corn Cobs if they felt they showed school spirit as they should at the games by cheer ing. Wehrbein replied, "We feel it our primary purpose to promote spirit, but 35 peo ple is only a drop in the bucket compared to the whole school. We have no control over the Kernels to make them yell." Four Seniors Krohn then pointed out the responsibility of the Corn Cobs to set up an advisory board consisting of four sen iors to govern the Kernels. "Nothing' has been done so far and the best way to get results is to set a good ex ample," the Council said. Wehrbein said Kernal mem bership had been lower this year due to the mixup in the ticket situation. It was pointed out that many fresh men got their tickets through their respective houses and could not sit in the Kernel section. This cut the mem bership considerably. Chuck Wilson pointed out that the Tassels and the Corn Cobs are yelling but they- are not yelling more than the nest student even though they are the school s pep orgamza tions. The Heart Coordination must be achieved between all the pep groups and establish this as the "heart" of pep will the student body supplementing this, he said. It also was sug gested that the pep organi zations establish freshmen as workers for advancement to membership as a sophomore instead of a sophomore worker who advances as a junior to promote member ship in pep groups. In other business before the Council, the judiciary com. mittee submitted the con stitutons of the Young Re. publicans and the Young Democrats for approval. The Council approved them and they were forwarded to the Faculty Committee on Stu dent Organizations for approval. Farade 9:30 a,m. ynrm Spirit Answer Questions Dick Nelson, chairman of the calendar committee, stated that he had received aJetter from RAM. The Sel- leck men approved the "early" date for the be ginning of the 1960-61 Fall term by a 402-37 margin. A straw vote was taken of the Council preference for be ginning dates and the Coun cil approved the "early" datei 25-2. Drifter Control The library committee asked that the Council dis cuss the possible extension of the closing hours of the li brary. It was said before hand that due to the down town location of the library, it would require the addition of two or three policemen to control "drifters" around the library should the hours be extended. One Council member com mented that organized houses would like to utilize extended hours for pledge study facil ities. The Union Advisory Board had forwarded the opinion that the early closing hours cause some students to use the Union for study after 9:20 p.m., and they do not think the Union should be used as a place for study. Due to the lack of funds, the library would have to open later in the morning if it were to remain open longer at night. A straw vote of the Council was taken on retain ment of the same hours of closing or a temporary sys tem of opening at 9 a.m. and closing at 10:30 p.m. The Council voiced its pref erence of the temporary 9 to 10:30 hours by a vote of 21-2. The Council also favored keeping the library open on Sunday night for student use. Fowles Reports 1,400 Students Receive Downs Nearly 1400 University stu dents got warnings to im prove their grades at the first issue of scholastic reports. Lewis Fowles, assistant dean of student affairs, who made the estimate Thursday after all downs had been re corded, said the number was about the same as last year. Fowles reminded that the next downs will be issued the first week after Thanksgiving vacation. Instructors' reports will be due in his office Nov. 21. e my I. Welcome Alums Kick-off 2:00 P.M.
