UNIVERSITY OP NEBS LIBRARY e&ry. Student Victim of Love Library Carrels By Dave Wohlfarth This is the strange, hut true, tale of the Daily Ne braskan reporter who found himself trapped in our be loved Love Library. The story begins at 8 p.m. when our hero treads his happy path to the li brary to do some dedicated work on Econ 11. Once arriving within the walls of books, he "Observes all the people around and decides that if he is to really delve into the sub ject at hand be must find a secluded area. Therefore, to the stacks be trots. On third floor he spots six unoccupied carrels J and singles out one as his "'inspiration spot.'1 Once settled and comfort able, the first .order of business is to open the big green book and to stare at the laws of demand and supply. Ah, Comfort Shortly thereafter, (about 8:22)., the student decides be will be much more com fortable if he were to lean on the table, prop the chair back a little, and place the book at a tilt so he can. still see it '(he is de termined to study1! ) . Then, to add to bis re laxation, be decides to take off his sweatshirt and mse it for a pillow. Our story now skips three hours to 11:30 p.m. and we find our friend just awaken ing from a lovely three hour nap. Jumping up, bis first thought is "what time is it?" He is suddenly aware of the darkness and realizes it may be past the magic Ibells of eleven ((li brary closing bour. He gathers up bis equip mentstaggers to the stair way and begins the de scent. At the balfway point a burst f light brings new hope into the beart of our adventurer. He -quickens bis pace and arriving on second floor, beads for the door leading to the main dest. But, alas, the doors are locked. At this point he it faced with two alternatives eitb er spending the night in the stacks r IranticaDy yelling for help. Finding no comfortable sleeping facilities, he takes the latter course of action by beginning to shake the door. Many shakes and several shouts, -whistles and oughs later ((10 inmates to be ex act), a rescuer appears dressed in a gray uniform. 'The janitor pens the door and asks, ""Were you Icrked in?" N Answer Finding mo logical answer for this question, our bcro thanks the man and happily ventures down the stairs. Here be faces bis Baal dilemma of tthe night tine main doors also are Jocted. After an extensive search, be finds the downstairs jan itor, wh lets bun ut As our might-raider leaves the mystic solitude a-nfl qn et confines of the campus prison be bears these parting words from Ms new found friend, the janitor, ""Donl worry, yon arent the first to be locked in the library," z Q) W ramepAfii Requires Thought 'Six Characters' Brave Production By Doug McCartney Surprise ! Bewilderment ! Interest ! Reflection ! One aft er the other these moods overcame this reviewer as be watched the opening night performance of "Six Charac ters in Search of an Au thor." No light entertainment this; it might be described best as "a thinking man's play." Although difficult to follow, the play was well acted by a fine cast and well directed by William R. Morgan. It was in almost every way a credit to University Theater However, a great deal of imagination and some back ground knowledge are need ed to obtain the full meaning of the author, Nobel Prize winning p 1 a y r i g h t, Luigi Pirandello. Highlighting the evening was a superb performance by senior Kent Broadhurst. As the frustrated director who coped with temperamen tal stars, his naturalness and light humor kept the plot of the play from being o v e r whelmingly depressing. Plot Briefly, the plot of the play finds six characters wander ing into the middle of a re hearsal, begging to tell their tale. Convincing the director he should write it for them, they describe past happen- New Ag Rep Is Elected To Council Gladys Rolfsmcyrr Chosen To Till Post Gladys Rolfsmeyer was picked Wednesday as a re placement member of Stu dent Council for the College of Agriculture by the vote of the Council. She replaces Sara Rhodes who was ruled ineligible due to scholastic reasons 1 a 6 1 month. Miss Rolfsmeyer competed with six other girls from Ag College for the position. Oth ers interviewed were Carol Berndt, Jill Campbell, Mar grethe Plum. Jeanette John son and Connie Vavra. Roy Neil presented eight questions before the Council to be asked of the appli cants. He asked that the Council members vote to ac cept his questionnaire before any of the applicants were interviewed. The vote was unanimous in his favor. Each interviewee w a I asked the following ques tions: 1. "Why are you applying for a Student Council posi tion?" 2. "What do you feel the qualifications of a Student Council member should be?" j 2. "How would -vou ascer- j tain opinion from the Ag stu dent body?" 4. "What do you know about the present Council's program?" 5. "What do you think about the Council's regulation concerning student organiza tions?" 6. "Do you have any ideas for Improvement of the Coun cil?" 7. "Do you have any spe cific programs that you plan to present to the Council if you are elected?" 8. "Can you be present for the Council meeting from 4-6 p.m. Wednesday afternoons and can you attend Ag Exec Board meetings every other Wednesday at 7 p.m.?" Nell Liked in bit proposal that "the questions be limited to these questions In order that the applicants can be Judged on equal bases." This plan of interviewing will be used in future Student Council interviews thereby doing away with the open in terview, according to Neil. Miss Rolfsmeyer, a junior, ban a 7.6G1 accumulated .average. ings and recreate others, to tell the story of a man who visits a bouse of prostitution, only to find bis daughter there. Soon all six characters of his family are involved in tragedy. Following a light but some what slow beginning, the cast fell into their parts and did a fine job throughout t h e play. Among the major roles, Zeff Bernstein (the Father), Sharron Purbaugh (the Step- daughter) and Stan Rice (the Son) were also stand-outs. Bernstein was at times both the weakest and the greatest of the characters. His appearance was of an older, cultured man, ashamed of his past and eaten with remorse. Unfor tunately he was hampered by long speeches. Overall, this senior speech major is giving by far his finest per formance on the Howell stage. Versatile Actress Miss Purbaugh is proving to be an extremely versatile actress, moving from the part of young, innocent Ann Frank to a bitter, sexy and anything but innocent prosti tute. With the exception of two brief moments of soft ness with her younger sister, every line of her body, every expression of her face and tone in her voice spoke of the bitterness, disgust and hate that were in her char acter. ; Stan Rice bas a small i speaking part but plays it well. Nothing but plaudits here. The Mother (Margery Cof fey) isn't quite as effective as the others. She seems to be either speaking in an emo tional, tearful voice .(very good when appropriate) or just sitting there. A little more versatility might have made her more believable. Last of the Six Characters are the Boy (Eill Raecke) and the Child '9 year old Kay Stiner). Neither spoke a single word on stage though both were on almost all the time. Both appealed to the audience as hapless children caught in tragic roles. Both children's parts, a sore spot m many plays, are well filled. The best supporting acting was done by Elizabeth Debo, as the very snobby (and very funny) leading lady. Also well done was the ape ish machinist played by new comer Paul Holzworth. In summation; "Six Char acters" is an excellent pro duction, and, 1 think, a brave one. Salutations to the man whose, shoulders bear the brunt of the responsibility for this production . . .. Dr. William Morgan. i i i i j xjui- iiuiiors To Wilson, Phil Boroff Nancy Wlson, Alpha Xi Del ta, and Phil Boroff, Delta Sigma Phi, were presented as the 1960 Honorary Producers at the premier performance of the University Theater. Honorary Producers are chosen annually on the basis of the number of tickets sold compared to the number of persons in the contestant's organized house. Second place winners were Kathy Walter, Sigma Kappa, and Steve Tempero, Theta Xi. Both first and second place winners received trophies which will be displayed dur ing the school year and 19C1 Rush Week. Receiving gifts as third place winners were Nancy Butler, Zeta Tau Alpha, and Rog Meisenbach, Bessey Hall. The Honorary Producers have no actual duties during the year, but are honored with their pictures in the programs for their interest in the theater. m Vol, 74 No. 28 Kennedy Will Wi 'If the information in the press is correct and if the voter behavior as predicted to date is correct, there is no doubt that Senator John F.

Over a period of time the party out of power win as sume characteristics of the party in power, said Winter. The professor even stated that a third -party may be formed if certain "minority groups are neglected ior too long of a time.'" Turning to the candidates, Winter said that both men; have dubious past records. ! Richard M. Nixon, said Winter, turned to politics in answer to a desire for suit able employment after finish-; ing bis military obligation in 1945. On the .other band,' Winter stated the reason for Kennedy 's entrance into poli tics was "to replace the des ignated spot vacated by She war death of bis brother.'" ""You don't bave much to choose from. Whatever both of these men are to do wiD I bave to be shown in the fu ture,'" Winter said. uurmg xms address to a near capacity audience. Win ter .stated the disadvantages and advantages each candi date has bad to face during the campaign are numerous Kennedy's advantages ac cording to Winter are : Kennedy being a non-con troversial senator. Kennedy being a non-con troversial senator.. Kennedy's Roman Catho lic background. He bas been able to enlist numerous mi nority groups to bis side and the hea vy Catholic vote in this country is expected to go for Kennedy. Kennedy being a Demo crat. There are more regis tered Democrats than Repub licans. Kennedy's appearance. He bas the appearance of "one of the good guys, espe cially to women." Kennedy's financial inde pendence. Kennedy's proven ma turity and self-assurance. As disadvantages in this election year campaign Wrin ter stated the following points: Again Kennedy's religion plays a dual-role. The South- urn Baptists may well cause great trouble ior Kennedy as might others. The Texas vote should show how effective the anti-Catholic issue has been, Winter said. Kennedy's aloof and aris tocratic outlook. The Senator's wealthy background. Many people are suspicious of those who have money, especially if it isnt earned like in Kennedy's case, Winter said. Kennedy not having the full cooperation of the Demo cratic party. Winter pointed out that the South isnt wholly enthusiastic. Prof. Winter At this point turned the "coin" over and surmised the advantages Nix on has had during the cam paign. -World YWCA"' Discussed Sunday "The World YWCA" will be introduced to all Y mem bers and guests by Jan Han sen Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Student Union.

Nixon has 100 COP. support including the Rock efeller and Goldwater wings at the party. Nixon has traveled widely. Winter went on to discuss some of the disadvantages that the Vice-President bas had to face. Nixon is s vrv xinntro- versial person. Nixon is a Republican and is outnumbered by Demo crats. Nixons appearance is of "one of the bad guys.1" Nixon has a weat farm plank in the Republican plat form. Labor is completely anti Nixon. Mrs. Pat Nixon's close affiliation wi1- the Vice-Pres ident's problems. People dont want to admit that there is a women behind every great man,-" Winter said. ' Nixon is too clever as a debator..
