Tryouts Tonight
For Coed Follies
Five skits will be chosen to
night at Coed Follies try
outs for presentation in the
AWS sponsored "Hits 'n
Misses" Folly show Feb. 28,
In view of the present day
glamour and feverish prepar-
ation which go into the pre
paration of a skit for Coed
Follies, it is interesting to
know that originally the skits
were of secondary im
portance to the show.
The big feature, was a style
show of the latest fads and
fashions. The candidates for
Ideal Nebraska Coed were
the models and the Coed was
chosen on her modeling ap
pearance. The skits served as
intermissions similar to the
traveling acts of todays show.
The "Follies" were present
ed on two different evenings
in the Nebraska Theater and
only females were allowed to
enjoy the show.
A paragraph discovered in
a February, 1943, Dally Ne
braskan indicated an on
Jection to this rule. It stated,
"Sad but true this annual
event is still barred from the
boys oa campus."
The sponsoring or
ganization, AWS, pave way to
popular demand in 1934 and
opened the show to the pub
lib. It was received with such
enthusiasm that Coed Follies

University Starts Campaign
Nebraskans Will Voice
Foreign Affairs Views
Nebraskans will be given a
chance to voice opinions on
foreign affairs directly to gov

The University recently an
nounced the formation of a
statewide campaign to give
Nebraskans the chance to
voice their opinions on for
eign affairs and the crop
surplus question.
The opinions of these Ne
braskans will go directly to
U.S. foreign officials, sena
tors and representatives.
A yet undetermined num
ber of groups of laymen in
cluding farmers, teachers,
businessmen, profts
ional men and housewives
are expected to take part in
discussions and balloting
throughout the state.
The Extension Division and
the Agricultural . Extension
Service at the tJniversity have
joined forces to promote and
administer the balloting. In
addition, steps have been
taken by Dr. Everett Peter
son and Dr. Otto Hoiberg,
University faculty members,
to aid those who will form
the first discussion groups.

these, and the planographic,
better known as lithography.

hibit from one to five prints,
Geske said. In addition each
of those 10 was invited to
nominate one additional art-
ist whose work they believed
to be of interest.
Younger Artists

that of well-known artists as
well as younger artists whose
work may indicate the direc

NROTC Contracts Criticized
Kansan Says Non-Marriage Clause Should Go
' -A recent editorial appearing in the Daily
Kansan severely criticized the non-mar-
' riage clause in Navy ROTC contracts.
, The Clause, which forbids Navy ROTC
students to be married before receiving
their commission upon graduation, should
. have been "thrown out with the use of
Grog," according to the editorial.
Young men entering the Navy program
in college are not capable of knowing
whether they wlil escape marriage or not,
the Kansan suggests.
Capt. James R. Hansen, USN, professor
of naval science, commented freely on the
editorial in the Kansan, and explained the
legal and naval stipulations and obliga
tions upon signing of a Navy ROTC non
marriage contract. ,
"I have been asked to comment on the
" reason for the non-marriage clause in the
NROTC legal contract. This undergradu
ate restriction has never become a serious
issae or conflict with our program because
the young men who enter the NROTC are
norm'v mature and responsible persons
who are fully cognizrnt of these restric-
' tipns, and they agree to such limitations
of their own volition.

past experience associated rith. the ds-
' mands' and requirements placed on newly
commissioned naval officers. It has been
found that an unmarried midshipman can

"Certainly the .' startling
population growth is a cm
cial problem of our time." .
In an interview with the
Tlailv Tehrnskan. Vtaf. .TasDer
Shannon, chairman of the po
litical science department,
commented on the relation of
the current world issue of
birth control and the Catholic
Church's stand on the same,
to presidential hopeful Sen.
John Kennedy's Catholic faith
and the coming presidential
election.
"The birth control issue is
certainly one that must be
faced by politicians, church
men, and educators alike, as
well as citizens," said Shan
non. "As to how far a candidate
should be judged by his reli
gionNixon is a Quaker, as
was Hoover, and the question
was raised during Hoover's
candidacy , as to whether

cause of the Pacifist tenet of
the Quaker religion, could
qualify as commander-in-chief
of the armed forces. '
"It should be pointed out,"
continued Shannon, "that the
Catholic Church is not op
posed to all means of . birth
control, only those which it
regards as an interference
with nature and hence con
trary to natural and moral
law.
The issue is then, whether
birth control is a matter of
faith and morality, and bind
ing on private conscience."
"Kennedy has stated ex
pressly that he regards his
Constitutional oath an su
preme. Hence any law passed
constitutionally would be
binding upon him in his pub
lie capacity as an official. It
would seem therefore, that
any policy adapted by Con
gress would be binding npon
Kennedy as president and
that he accepts this as an ex
pression of his point of view.
"It is possible that many
persons will use the birth con
trol issue as a rationalization
for opposing Kennedy on oth
er grounds. The issue could
well serve as a screen for
intolerance as prohibition did
in 1928."
