UNIVERSITY OF NEBR. LIBRARY II Vol. 34, No. 107 Corn Cobs Issue Policy Statement About Show ... Brubeck Quartet Arrives Thursday In order to clarify some of the questions raised in the minds of University students and faculty since the booking of the Dave Brubeck Quar tet, the Corn Cobs have is sued a statement of their pol icy. The Corn Cobs constitution reads: "The purpose of this organization shall be to foster and engender student pep and enthusiasm at the University of Nebraska and to assume the initiative in creating stu dent spirit." With that In mind the or ganization has taken charge of pep rallies, half-time cere monies, homecoming dance, flower sales and Cornhusker sales in co-opcratlon with Tassels. "In the fall of this year, we of Corn Cobs initiated a program of bringing outside talent and entertainment to the University emmpus," said Dave McConahay president of the organization. The first endeavor, the Kingston Trio,, met with such great student support ana termed such a success that the Dave Brubeck Quartet was booked for Thursday night as the second attempt in the new part of their pro gram, according to McCon ahay. The basic purpose of bring ing the Thursday night pro gram is stated in the second phrase of the constitution. "We of the Cobs are attempt ing, by bringing outside en tertainment to the campus, to bolster pride and prestige on the campus and thereby im prove campus spirit," said a Cobs spokesman. In regard to the half-price tickets for students attending Brubeck's Performance, the organization expressed that because of the Kingston Trio success both financially and because of the organization policy, they can offer the pro gram for a nominal charge. The Corn Cobs hope that Thursday night's show meets Hill To Go To Insect Symposium Dr. Roscoe E.

AWS Discusses Coed 'Propers9 Decisions concerning prop er dress, drinking, the point system and stimulation of in tellectual attainment were made by the AWS Board at the recent AWS Workshop. According to Sharon Rog ers, AWS publicity chairman, sportswear, especially ber muda shorts, should not be worn in the library, as there are many people other than students who use the building. Sportswear also is not to be seen downtown or in theatres, because campus women are expected to set good exam ples for younger people. Sportswear is to be tolerated, but not encouraged in the recreation parlors of the Stu dent Union and in the Crib, but not in the upstairs meet ing rooms, Miss Rogers con tinued. Another discussion at the AWS workshop centered around drinking and sex re lationships. It was pointed out that many students feel they are unable to have a good time without drinking. "But because we realize that drinking is accompanied by vulgarity, unrefinement, and immorality when done in excess, we urge the standards boards of houses to teke ac tion on girls whose conduct is unbecoming. "As sex and drinking fringe on mental health, per haps a discussion with stu dent health personnel in charge of their mental health program would be valuable," continued Miss Rogers. The AWS Board agreed generally that .the point sys- last years complete redecora ton. Two of the sororities are still negotiating with contrac tors before they decide to add new additions. Gamma Phi Beta is plan ning a new addition but are not sure as to whether con struction will start this sum mer. i Alpha Phi Alpha Phi is waiting on the contract for the building of their new L-shaped addi tion which will house a new dining room and kitchen, bed rooms and a partitioned third floor. They also plan to im prove and build new parking facilities and a complete re decoration of the house. Chi Omega and Kappa Alpha Theta are still pending the outcome of the meeting of their respective building boards. Sororities not participating in this summer's building and redecoration spree include Kappa Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Pi Beta Phi, and Zeta Tau Alpha. Alii J tern for activities is good be cause leadership may be passed around. The physical and mental health of students can then also be held at an optimum. In a discussion concerning how the University could en courage intellectual attain ment, it was noted that or ganized houses need to help their girls realize a higher goal in college. University women need to be motivated to attend con certs, speeches, foreign films and other cultural events. AWS is considering sponsoring a workshop to en courage high standards and goals, concluded Miss Rog ers. Janet Hansen, chairman of the AWS Workshop, termed the event "most successful and beneficial."

The development of an Honors Program will place increased significance upon counseling and teaching. A degree with honors should be granted only partially on the basis of grades. Independent study and research should al- so play an important role. Talented students should be encouraged to broaden their experiences and ideas in significant areas beyond their field of specialization. Some courses may be opened with out prerequisites to students from other fields. 'Di iary Begins Tonight Both U.S., Germany Have Seen Play Tonight at 8:00 begins the production of "The Diary of Anne Frank," the last play of the season given by Univer sity Theatric The play, the story of a young Jewish German girl who lives in hiding during the second World War, has been produced both in the United States and Germany. Otto Frank, father of the real Anne, wrote an article entitle "Germany is Forget- ting Anne Frank" in the February issue of Coronet magazine expressing the opin ion that the young people of Germany are learning about the period of Nazism and also about citizenship in a demo cratic society through the play. Frank said in his article that he has never seen a stage performance of "Diary" be cause he wishes to keep Anne and her sister Margo as he knew them and not as they are known to the world through the play. Many girls, like the real Anne, in Germany share her basic faith in humanity but that today there is a battle go ing on for the new generation of Annes, Frank added. The battle is being fought by the v guilt-ridden older generation responsible for Hitler and a middle generation, too young to have been very involved in Nazism, but old enough to have fought and been hurt by the war. Frank concluded his article by saying that, like Anne "in spite of everything, I still be lieve that people are really good at heart." The production of 'Diary' at Howell Theater, will run t h r o u gh Saturday evening. Very few tickets are left for the Friday and Saturday night presentations. Only one-fourth of the tickets for Thursday's performance remain unsold. YRs Cancel Meet The Young Republicans will not meet Thursday night be cause of the Dave Brubeck quartet scheduled for that time.
