'Crusade Run '
The Alpha Tau Omega pledge class is going to run to
Omaha.
Saturday morning the 27 pledges will make the near-60
mile trip as the last leg of a project designed to raise
money for the "Crusade for Freedom."
$5 Tickets
First the pledges will contact each ATO alumnus in the
Lincoln-Omaha area with the objective of selling $5 tickets
to a dinner to be held Friday night at the Cornhusker Hotel.
The dinner menu, inscribed "Behind the Iron Curtain,"
was chosen to remind the alumni as citizens of the auster
ity of life there.
The banquet will include baked beans, weiners and po
tato chips which will be donated by various companies.
Saturday morning will find the pledges "walking" the
collected money in relay style to Omaha for delivery to
Allen MacTier, state chairman of the "Crusade for Free
dom." A luncheon at the Hotel Blackstone has been arranged
for the students when the relay runners arrive in Omaha.
Hungarian Refugee
Edmund I. Lazar, a graduate student at the University
and a Hungarian refugee, will be a guest at the Friday
night dinner.
The son of the one-time Minister of Justice in Hungary,
Lazar escaped from behind the Iron Curtain in 1950 and
worked on a voluntary basis for Radio Free Europe, which
is supported by the Crusade for Freedom, from 1951-56.
Among other guests will be Chancellor Clifford Hardin
who has recently been appointed to the Crusade's state
committee.
This project was initiated primarily because the ATO
pledge class could not win their own "Help Week" trophy.
'Help Week'
Just this year the Nebraska ATO collegiate chapter
was given a "Help Week" trophy by alumni in turn to be
presented to some other college fraternity at the Univer
sity for the best "Help Week" project.
The Nebraska "Help Week" trophy is not a new thing,
however. The switch from "Hell Week" to "Help" was
made several years ago by the fraternity and many other
of the fraternity college chapters offer a trophy similar to
that here at the University.

Faculty Has Own Frat

seem, the faculty members
have their own "fraternity"
house at 1520 R St.
Although not a fraternity
in reality or in actual oc

Becker.
Mrs. Becker said, "We
had a big day today, (Tues
day), there were 76 here
for luncheon."
"Another important func
tion of the Faculty Gub is
to provide a social gather
ing place for the faculty
which helps the faculty to
become better acquaint
ed," said Prof. Stanley T.
Vandersall, member of the
club.
The Faculty Club was
originally organized in 1955
at the Student Union and
was mainly for social pur
poses. Closer Contacts
According to VandersaH,
the faculty felt the need for
closer contacts, especially
in various areas of the fac
ulty where many of the
faculty do not have the op
portunity to meet each oth
er. Vandersall said the house
was ideal for the present
setup. Before being taken
over by the faculty it
served as the International
House. Prior to this, it
served as the Phi Mu soror
ity house.
The club has a few ban
quets each year. However,
it does not emphasize social
life except for the friendly
chats among the faculty,
says Vandersall
Ag Members
The Faculty Club has
members from both city
and Ag campuses. Any fac
ulty member is elgible to
become a member of the
club.
Club officers are: Prof,
president; Prof. John F.

Prof. Dortolhy Hazel, sec

ductions at Nebraska.
Baldwin Directs
The play is described by its
director, Dr. Joseph Baldwin,
as being a story of "poetic
passion and power."
Vliet, the playwrite, says
that his play is a study of
personal guilt, but that it
touches upon and reflects the
guilt of all of us. He con
tinues, "guilt even for those
things of which we are not
guilty" such as, world wars
and atomic bombs.
The setting for "Rock
spring" is a ranch near the
Southwestern Texas town of
that name. Lee Borah returns
from the First World War,
slowly dying of mustard
gassed lungs and tortured by
his guilty love for his young
step-mother, Billie Borah.
Their attempt to expiate the
guilt and find a way to live
or die with strength and dig
nity is the theme of the play.
Appearing as Billie Borah
and Lee Borah, the ill-fated
lovers, are Margery Coffee
and Gary Parker. The own
ers of a neighboring ranch
are played by Grover Kautz
and Jean Allyn. Luther
Frost appears as Hench,
Billie Borah's step-father.
Environment
