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,

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

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."

Being Occupied
The old Ag C h e m l s t r y
building took on a new at
mosphere yesterday as the
department of information
moved into it from the Ag
Administration Annex.
Prior to moving there was
a general rennovation of the
building which included new
floors, lower ceilings, a re-
cording studio and a dark
room. New glass doors and
a switchboard has also been
installed.
New Name
The new building will prob
ably be known as the "In
formation and Publications
Building".
The move will allow the
department to be under one
roof for 'the first time since
it was created in 1956. Prior to
this the publication division
had been in the Extension
Annex.
The cost of remodeling the
60-year old building was $90,
000. According to Vern Mey
ers, director of plant plan
ing and construction, it
would have cost $350,000 to
build an adequate new build
ing. Besides offices for the per
sonnel the new arrangement
will include conference
rooms, a classroom and bulk
storage space for the stock
of publication. All extension
courses for Ag and H o m e
Economics undergraduate
majors will be taught in this
building.
Ag Journalism
Eventually the department
hopes to acquire an instruc
tor on the staff to teach Ag
journalism courses. Present
ly only the lab section of
Journalism 161 and an intern
program for those in Ag jour
nalism are held in the de
partment. The old Ag Administration
Annex will house for depart
ments. The Home Economics
area Home Agents in exten
sion will remain in the build
ing. Those moving into the
building include the exten
sion division of Agricultural
Economics which was in the
Dairy Industry building along
with the rest of the Ag Eco
nomics department.
The Turkish University
Program will move from Ag
Hall into th Annex and the
Barberry Eradication section
will be enlarged and moved
into the building.
The "Information and Pub
lications Building" is plan
ning an open house in the
near future.

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.
