More Than 2,500 Use
Drop and Add System
More than 2,500 students
found classes too difficult for
them last semester but were
saved from scholastic de
struction by the drop and add
system.
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

Parking Tickets:
Students Chalk
By Jerry Lamberson
Where does the Univer

Approximately $3500 has
been collected from "care
less students" who have
been parking ticket viola

Capt. Eugene Masters of
the campus police depart

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

One of the requirements of

Anyone who fails to meet
this requirement jeopardizes
his scholarship eligibility for

Unicameral Appoints Dr.
To Conduct Higher Education Study
By Herb Probasco
Looking ahead to a period
of overcrowded classrooms
and increased financial needs,
the state of Nebraska is mak
ing an extensive study of its
higher education.
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.
Dr. Lyman Glenny, associ
ate professor of government
at Sacramento State College
in California, has been hired
by a committee of state sena
tors to conduct the major
portion of the study and sub
mit a report of recommenda
tions. Dr. Glenny has worked on

The orchestra will play

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. Heartily
recommended!
