English Department 'Not Eager 9 to Resume TV Classes
By i Nancy Whitford ,
The University English
department is "not eager"
to resume last year's ex
perimental program of tel
evised freshman English.
"No obvious advantages
were noticed In the tele-
vised classes subsidized by
the Ford Foundation, but
several disadvantages are
observed," said Dudley
Bailey, associate professor
of English and chairman of
freshman English.
Bailey noted a "very
slight" tendency to the ex
tremes on final exam pa
pers submitted by students
in the televised classes as
compared to those submit
ted by students under a
regular classroom situa
tion. "Good students appeared
to do better, and poor stu
dents, poorer, but there Is
no clear-cut evidence to
support this generalization,"
Bailey commented.
The need for more class
room notetaking during TV
lecture classes may have
contributed to this tenden
cy, Bailey said.
"Good students can take
better notes than poor
students," he explained.
Student Reaction
"Student reaction to the
program was generally
good," Bailey noted, "but
this must be tempered with
the general reaction of stu
dents to take a positive at
titude toward an experi
mental situation."
The inability to ask im
mediate questions of the
person lecturing was cited
as the chief student com
plaint of the program.
Faculty reaction was re
ported to be decidedly neg
ative due to the problem of
"divided Instruction which
resulted In divided author
ity." The televised lecture was
presented during the first
20-30 minutes of the class
room period and the re
mainder of the time was
devoted to discussion of the
lecture under the supervi
sion of another teacher.
No-Satisfaction
"To my knowledge, no
other university has come
up with satisfactory results
in an experiment of this
sort for freshman English.
It's possible the method
could work for some other
subjects, such as the sci
ences, which require close
observation of the subject,"
Bailey said.
"The televised classes em
phasized things we should
have already known such
as the importance of black
boardsbut other than this
the project seemed to be of
little value."
Approximately 150 stu
dents divided into six
classes participated both
first and second semester
in the experiment.

No Traveler Acts,
More Dancing
The Military Ball committee has ruled against' traveler
acts for this year's Ball, according to Dee Cuttell, program
committee chairman.
"We want to allow as much time for dancing as pos
sible," said Cuttell. "Everyone seemed to enjoy the Naval
Aviation Cadet Choir last year, but there were complaints
that there wasn't enough time for dancing."
Drill Teams
The Cadence Countesses, the
Honorary Commandant. The
honorary branch of the Per
shing Rifles, and the Pershing
Rifle drill team will provide
entertainment while the band
takes its breaks, according to
Cuttell.
Cuttell has been announced
as Master of Ceremonies for
the Ball by the Army ROTC
department.
He will introduce the band,
the dignitaries in attendance,
and the senior ROTC mem
bers and their ladies during
the Grand March.
"The procedure for the
Grand March has been
changed this year," stated
Cuttell. "The Honorary Com
mandant and service queens
will be presented last, as a
climax to the Grand March
rather than first."
Grand March
The ROTC seniors and their
dates will take part in the
Grand March and then form
an aisle to the stage for the
Honorary Commandant. The
crowning ceremonies and pre
sentation of the queens will
take place on the stage.
"According to present
plans, -Chancellor Hardin
will crown the Honorary Com
mandant," said Cuttell.
The Honorary Commandant
will be escorted to the stage
by Cadet Brig. Gen. Donald
Epp, Miss Army by Cadet
Col. Gene LaRue, Miss Air
Force by Cadet Col William
Wells, and Miss Navy by Mid
shipman John Williams.
Margaret Marshall PraM,
last year's Commandant, will
transfer the scepter to the
new Commandant as a sym
bol of her regal authority.
The Honorary Commandant
and the three service queens
will receive engraved brace
lets and bouquets of roses.
Richard Maltby and his or
chestra will provide the mu
sic for the Ball, the Grand
March, and the coronation
ceremonies. The band will be
located on the stage.
The nine candidates for
Honorary Commandant are
Marian Brayton, Mary Ann
"Skip" Harris, Judy Holmes,
Donni Keyes, Mary Knolle,
Cathy Scott, Anne Sowles,
Kay S w o b o d a, and Lynn
Wright. The 1960 Comman
dant will be determined by an
all-campus election on Nov.
29.
Hadley Rides
Again Friday
At Union
Hadley Barrett and the
Westerners will make their
third appearance on campus
In the last year when they
play for the Student Union
dance Friday night.
Previous campus engage
ments were a Chi Omega
house party and the Ag Union
Hadley Ho-Down dance.
The dance will be. held in
the Union Ballroom from 8
until 12 p.m. according to Bill
Connell, chairman of Union
special activities committee.
Barrett is from North
Platte and is noted as a lead
er of western type music in
that area. He has made some
recordings of western music.
Three weeks ago he returned
from a three week engage
ment in Las Vegas, Nev. He
has also performed on stage,
radio and television.
Each of the previous dances
reported that Hadley Barrett
attracted a capacity crowd
and that his style of music
was the reason for the large
crowds. Barrett, along with
the Westerners, will feature
many numbers with electric
quitars.
The band has already been
contracted for a future en
gagement at the Ag Union in
February.
Vacation
Invitations
Unfilled
Foreign Students
Question Sincerity
A number of Thanksgiving
invitations to foreign students
remain unfilled.
Uncertainty as to the sin
cerity of the Thanksgiving
vacation invitations may pre
vent a number of foreign stu
dents from spending the holi
day with interested families
in Beatrice, Henderson and
Lincoln, according to Mrs.
Olga Steele.
Mrs. Steele, foreign student
adviser, said about 30 Thanks
giving invitations had been
offered by Beatrice residents
and 10 by Henderson residents
in addition to 30-50 invitations
by Lincoln families.
At present the quotas have
not been filled. Additional stu
dents who desire to partici
pate have been asked to con
tact Mrs. Steele in, the Office
of Student Affairs.
A meeting of both hosts
and students will be held
Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Fa
culty Club to make arrange
ments for those wishing to
take part.
"Traditional American
Thanksgiving festivities plus
visits to small industries,
group meetings of the foreign
students and family activities
should combine to make this
a profitable experience for
both the families and the stu
dents." Mrs. Steele said.
This is the second year
Beatrice has offered to host
the foreign students and the
first year for Henderson
which is also making tenta
tive plans for a portion of the
Christmas vacation.
"Both hosts and students
appeared enthusiastic and
pleased with last year's pro
gram," Mrs. Steele added.
International
Association
Forms Sunday
American and foreign stu
dents will meet Sunday at 8
p.m. in the Student Union to
form a Nebraska Interna
tional Association.
The proposed constitution,
drawn up by a joint commit
tee of American and interna
tional students, will be pre
sented at the mass meeting
Sunday.
It contains provisions for an
executive council of eleven
foreign and American mem
bers nnd will be governed by
an American and foreign co
chairman. According to the RAM
Newsgram, which is pub
lished for the residents of
Selleck Quadrangle, this will
be the beginning of a new
association which is designed
to bring all students of the
University closer together.
Membership is open to all
interested students and facul
ty who are interested in the
customs -of other lands and
the exchange of ideas with
people from all over the world.
Suggestions have been
made that the Association
sponsor an International
Week on campus each year.

Tribunal Activity Decreases
By Norm Beatty
The Student Tribunal has
handled 15 less cases as of
Nov. 15, 1950 than for the
same date a year ago.
Dean of Student Affairs J.

small number of cases this
year was "indicative of some
thing." Namely, he said, per

Ag Job Conference Set
Ag students will have un
til Nov. 22 to return the
cards stating the three ca
reer selections they wish
to attend at the Job Oppor
tunities Conference Dec. 1.
Larry Williams, Ag Exec
member working on the
conference committee, said
the date had been extended
because only about 450 stu
dents or half of the Ag Col
lege enrollment had turned
in cards by Nov 9.
Three Sessions
Twenty-f i v e professions
will be represented at the"
conference, Williams said,
and two sessions will be
held in the afternoon and
one in the evening.
Dr. Franklin E. Eldridge,
dean of resident instruc
tion, has called all after
noon classes off on the Ag
campus on Dec. 1 so that
students can attend the
conference.
"There should be almost
a 100 per cent attendance
of the conference to insure
that classes can be dis

The drive which began last
week will close Nov. 19, ac
cording to Sue Carkoski, AUF
president.
Among the promotion ideas
of the organized houses have
been fun projects as well as
giving up meals for contribu
tions to the fund. -
Alpha Omicron Pi pledges
gave a $1 a plate spaghetti
dinner for the actives Sun

Chi Omegas are having a
contest between actives andj

Terrace Hall also held a
"white elephant sale."

in the years to come," Eld
ridge said.
Williams said cards re
turned so far expressed the
desire to have a banquet in
the evening. To accommo
date this the committee has
planned a banquet in the
evening with a charge of
$1.50 each. Speaker at the
banquet will be Everett
Spangler, vice-president of
the Federal Intermediate
Credit Bank of Omaha.
This year's conference
was expanded from the old
program that included only
upperclassmen. This year
all students will be in
cluded. Williams said the upper
classmen would have the
advantage in looking for
job placements and looking
for specific phases of a
profession. Freshmen and
sophomores can establish
their interest and choose
their curriculum accord
ing to professions in which
they are i n t e r e s t e d and
have demand.
Professions at the confer

number of cases were dis
missed last year from the be
ginning of the school year to
Nov. 15, 1959.
Nine Included
Of the nine cases handled,
nine students have been in
volved. Colbert pointed out,
26 students appeared before
the Council up to the middle
of November a year ago.
Colbert said that the Tri
bunal has functioned "n o r
mally for the first two months
of school."
"It seems crystal clear to
me, that students in general
accept the good old American
tradition of laving their cases
before a body of their own
peers," he noted.
On the whole, Colbert ex
plained, after two years of
operation, the students have
accepted the recommenda
tions made by the Tribunal
without question. "Of course

some individuals will not be
happy," he added.
When asked what the big
gest student violation seems
to be, Colbert answered "al
coholic beverages." More
specifically he explained that
students drinking under the
required state age of 21 years
made up the most cases. He
also said some of the cases
came from students drinking
on University property.
Next Largest Violation
The next largest violation,
according to Colbert, was
"'dishonesty in the classroom
which covers two things.
1. "Cribbing in tests and
examinations or obtaining
help from other students in
exams.
2. Plagiarism."
Other students are called
before the Student Tribunal
for petty larceny and "very
rare cases of vandalism."
He explained that he (Col
bert) makes the final deci
sion. "I usually go along with
the recommendation from the
Tribunal but I have the right
to reject or modify what
they hand to me."
The Tribunal is composed
of seven students elected for
office by the Student Council
for one year. This year Rod
Ellerbusch is the chair
man. In addition two facul
ty members sit with the
Tribunal. They are appointed
for four year terms. Their
appointments have been set
up, since the Student Tribu
nal was first organized two
years ago. An appointment
by Chancellor Clifford Hardin
is necessary every two years.
Prof. Jhon H. Paustian
of Mechanical Engineering
was appointed this year and
will serve until 1964. Prof.
Edmund 0. Belsheim of
the Law College has served
on the Tribunal since 1958
and will be relieved in 1962,
Colbert said.
