Mrs. Irma Laase, assistant registrar, said more than 2500 drop and add slips were received last semester. "A day never passes with out some slips being turned in," she remarked, "but im mediately following grade re ports and before the deadline for dropping courses the slips increase in number." However, for one group on campus, the drop slip can do more harm than good. This group includes those students holding scholarship grants. A student holding a schol arship who drops a course and falls below the minimum 12 hour requirement for all scholarship holders is in dan ger of losing his scholarship, Mrs. Jane Wendorff, assist Parking Tickets: Students Chalk By Jerry Lamberson Where does the Univer sity get its money? Approximately $3500 has been collected from "care less students" who have been parking ticket viola tors up until Feb. 1, said Capt. Eugene Masters of the campus police depart ment. Masters said that 4.498 tickets had been issued up to that date but an esti mated 1400 tickets have been issued to visitors and to those not registered at the campus police depart ment: Lot Maintenance According to Masters the money collected from park ing tickets goes for the maintenance of the parking lots, keeping up the street signs and the payment of employees in the Campus Police department. "One student seems to be getting his share of tickets said Masters. "He has massed a total of 32 tickets so far this year." Last fall a meter parking lot was installed east of the Union, said Masters. Although the lot east of the Union with parking meters, has added to the growing list of parking tickets, it ranks below many of the other Jots in the gross number of t'ckets Masters said. An estimated 35 to 40 tickets are issued in the parking lot each week. Resurfacing Fund According to Masters the money collected from the parking meters is placed in the fund which pays for the c?st of resurfacing the new lot. The resurfacing Nancy Tederman and Sukey Tinan. Newly-elected sophomore board members include Jane Foster, Pam Hirschbach, Jeri Johnson, Maggie McCracken, Herbie Nore, Pat Spilker and Karen Yost.

One of the requirements of all scholarships and grants is that the student register for and complete at least 12 credit hours each semester. Anyone who fails to meet this requirement jeopardizes his scholarship eligibility for the future. If he holds a year ly grant, the amount may even be withheld the second semester. Any student who has a jus tified reason for falling below the 12 hour requirement may appeal for scholarship rein statement to the Committee on General Scholarship Awards, Mrs. Wendorff ex plained. This 12 hour minimum re quirement is not new, she said, but had always been necessary for scholarship holders as well as being a membership requirement for activities and campus groups. costs totaled several thou sand dollars and it will take some time to pay for it, Masters said. "Less tickets have been issued in the parking lot since the 12-minute parking meters have been re moved," he said. "And the p.'anj for the future call for the addition of a four-hour maximum on the east side of the lot." This will leave only a small portion on the south and north ends left for two-hour maximum parking. "Most University parking tickets are issued for other than meter violations," said Masters.

Conduct Study A resolution introduced in the 1959 Unicameral provides for the study, which is al ready underway and is to be completed in December.

Featured with the orches tra will be the pianists Jack Crossan and Audun Ravan, both assistant professors of music. They will play Mo zart's "Concerto in E Flat" "and "Carnival of Animals" by Saint-Saens. This se lection has amusing imita tions of such animals as roos ters, turtles and fish.

Snow Hampers , The continued snow has hampered the campus po lice, said Masters. Many students cannot see the red lines and park in an illegal stall. If the red line can not be seen and a cross walk is not blocked, usually a ticket is not issued, Mas ters said. The snow has also ham pered driving on campus, commented Masters.

Small Crowd Thrills To 'Rockspring' Debut By Herb Probasco Before a disappointing opening night crowd of less than 75 persons, few of them students, the experimental theater presented the intensely powerful drama of frus tration, "Rockspring," by R. G. Vliet. Winner of the Fred Ballard Memorial Prize, "Rock spring" is well worth the award. Its poetic, free verse style and the preceptive theme leaves little to be de sired, except for a weak first scene. The play is set on the Borah ranch, located on the Edwards Plateau, Texas in the late spring of 1918. It opens on an introductory scene with Billie Borah (Mar gery Coffey), Mrs. Mercer (Jean Allyn) and Frank lercer (Grover Kautz). Although some sort of base is needed for the future and more important scenes, the first one is slow moving and could use rewriting. After that, the play grows better with each scene, cul minating in a beautiful summary dialogue between Billie and Hench (Luther Frost), her stepfather, in which she tells him, "There is nothing free beneath the sun, but what we make of it." Lee Borah (Gary Parker), has returned from World War 1 with a medical discharge, because his lungs were burned by poison gas. He ran away to war after a pre marital affair with Billie. His wound" has widened the split between them, since he can only feel sorry for himself. The bitter animosity which he has developed is noted in his line, "When you've been livin' in mud awhile, you get some on you." With Lee comes the long-awaited rain needed by the ranchers. There is too much rain, however, and crops are ruined and animals killed. During the storm. Lee's war ex periences return to haunt him and he goes beserk, wound ing Hench before collapsing. After he recovers and Billie realizes that they have found each other again, she goes off to shoot Hench, who has been between them. He has wanted her for himself, and now she wants to shoot him. The rest is for the next two audiences to see for themselves. Parker and Mis; Coffey portrayed their demanding roles with commendable smoothness and mental dexterity. They were in complete command of their parts throughout nearly all of the play. University theater goers can look forward to future roles by this pair as Miss Coffey is only a freshman and Parker a sophomore. Frist plays the difficult role of Tench, an ugly man, both physically and mentally. He overacted the part in spots, but on the whole did an excellent job. N The only weak spots in the play are Frank and Mrs. Mercer. Kautz is poorly cast in the role, which one vis ualizes as that of a more clumsy and ignorant man. He attempted at these characteristics, but fell short. Miss Allyn may have been suffering from opening night jitters, but she was not in command of her part and continually 'yelled, rather than projecting her voice. Nebraska Masquers is to be commended for reviving the experimental theater. Besides locating new talent, which it certainly has in Mr. Vliet, it gives students a chance to create new roles and provides a top-notch eve ning's entertainment at a low admission price.
