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.

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.

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.

the issue suddenly flares up
hotly, then Kennedy could
well lose the 'election.
In coming to this predic
tion, Winter said t hat t he
voter must choose this year
between what be called "two
organizational and partisan
men." ,
"This election campaign il
lustrates,'" the political sci-
their work with that of pro
fessionals." The School of Journalism at
the University has tradition
ally emphasized sequences of
study in reporting, editing
and comment on government
and political news, he said.
"We have the opportunity
here in Lincoln to emphasize
this, and we center our editor
ial' sequence of study on it,"
he said.
"Our graduating editorial
seniors must show superior
ability in this area of report

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

and advantages each candi

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.
