Are All-University
Convocations Vanishing?)
All-University convocations are evidently a thing of
tfe past on this campus. We have been in school now for I
over six and a half months and we have yet to see our i
first all-University convocation. i
Last year at all-University convocations our campus
had the opportunity to hear such nationally known per-
sons at Norman Cousins, editor of The Saturday Review i
and C. Northcote Parkinson, noted author and professor. f
Besides these fine speakers, various departments,
schools and organizations brought people to this campus
like the late Dr. Tom Dooley, Professor Simon Roten-
berg, Dr. John H. Fisher, Ann Landers, William McGaf-
fin, E. 0. Morton, Dr. Roscoe Pound and Vice President
Richard Nixon.
This year most of the leg work for speakers has been
done by the Student Union talks and topics committee. 1
The committee and a few individual departments have
been entirely responsible for the speakers presented to i
this campus this year.
It seems that an all-University convocation is a ne- i
eessary part of education. We are sore that the hour spent
hearing Mr. Cousins last year was just as educational ac
hearing a daily lecture. i
If this is a responsibility of the Student Council, we
hope some action will be taken immediately. If this re-
sponsibility does not fall on the Council's shoulders we
hope that the parties involved will soon announce an up-
coming convocation, besides the honors convocation.
Another Upset Victory
For the Cornhuskers
Once again the Nebraska campus Joins together to I
give Jerry Bush and his basketball team a resounding
victory cheer. The Husker's 69-68 victory at Kansas Sat-
urday night was a real welcomed sight. I
The basketball team, taking their cue from the 1
Husker football team, must have decided the best way 1
to end a mediocre season is with a few upsets.
A victory like the one Saturday night is a discourag-
ing thing to the antj-Bush or anti-Nebraska basketball
team groups. No matter what happens the rest of the I
season, the win over Kansas on their home court will 1
over-shadow everything else. jf
Coach Bush has driven his p o i n t home again. His i
team can win some of the big ones. We are all looking for-
ward to the K-State game tonight Here's hoping we can 1
yell them on to another upset victory at their last home 1
appearance of the season. i

The College of Agricul
ture's selective honors pro
gram, which was initiated
this semester with the pro
gram's first sixteen stu
dents, is typical of the hon
ors programs being set up
by other colleges on this
University.
It was a momentous day
when the Faculty Senate
decided against an all-University
honors system in fa
vor of individual honors
programs in each of the
colleges on campus.
In 1959 the Administra
tion discussed the matter of
a University
wide pro
gram, but
after refer
ring the
matter t o
the Senate,
each under
g r a du ate
college was
authoriz e d
t o initiate
their own Forrest
program.
By leaving it up to the in
dividual colleges, programs
have been and will be de
veloped to meet the partic
ular needs of the college's
honor students.
The program developed
here on Ag campus after a
two year committee study
hy Dr. F. E. Eldridge's of
fice, is a particularly good
example of how these un
dergraduate colleges are
able to meet student needs.
The Ag campus honors
program is four, years in
length, with provisions
made for each honors par
ticipant to be individually

counseled on every aspect
of his education by a mem
ber of the Ag Honors Coun
cil. Originally designed to al
low the honors student to
follow his own field of inter
est by permitting rapid aca
demic movement, greater
individual counseling and
freedom from prerequisite
restrictions, the selective,
non - mandatory, program
will give the honors student
an Ag orientation not pos
sible any place else at the
University.
Whether the honors stu
dent wants to enter into
natural or physical science,
business, economics, jour
nalism or any field open to
Ag students, be will be al
lowed to do to and still gain
knowledge of how these
fields are related to agricul
ture. Ag students and the Uni
versity as a whole should
join in the applause for the
fine job done by the col
lege in offering a program
in the best University tradi
tion which is both individu
alistic and far reaching.
Barnstorming is pleased
to read Captain Eugene
Masters' comment on front
page that the Ag campus
has plenty of parking space.
Of course, moBt of the
spacious parking areas gain
an additional dimension
during Nebraska's "mon
soon" season, that of depth
depth of mud. However,
it's nice to know that Ag
campus doesn't have a
parking problem. Wish they
could say the same about
the Union.

The perfect formula for
a winning skit was estab
lished at Associated Worn
ens Students' "Belles on
their Toes." Coed Follies.
Compare Chi Omega's win
ning skit, "You Gotta Have
a Gimmick," with Phi Kap
pa Psi's winning skit for
Kosmet Klub's "Historical
Hysterics."
First, a showman, a story
telling master of ceremo
nies most be dressed in a
stripped outfit; second, part
of the cast must enter from
the. audience; third, a
chorus line must perform;
fourth, the last sequence
should be a letdown small
when compared with the
skit; and, fifth, the winning
skit should be the last skit
on the program.
The similarities in con
struction are obvious, and a
similarity in entertainment
value also exists. Like Phi
Psi's skit, Chi Omega's skit
was fun not only for the cast
but for the audience. Audi
ence empathy was obtained
by making uie audience a
part of the show. Directors
Phyllis Elliot and Kathy
Beggs made "You Gotta
Have a Gimmick" an enter
taining attractive skit.
According to the judges,
the second place skit was
Gamma Phi Beta's "Take a
Break." Set in a women's
prison, this skit tells of a
prison break induced by a
prisoner named Guinevere.
After the prison is empty,
the Warden and Guinevere
are "alone at last."
Gamma Phi Beta's skit,
directed by Vicky CuDenv
was my personal choice for
first place, with Chi Ome
ga's skit a close second.
"Take a Break" was not
only well directed and per
formed, but included supe
rior costumes and setting.
The judges voted Kappa
Delta's "Quiet Riot" as the
third place skit. All in pan
tomime, "Quiet Riot" was
the sileM movie bit rewound
and played backwards. The
idea is very clever, but the
movement in the "back
wards" sequences was not
a consistent reverse of pre
vious action. The villain
was imaginatively por
trayed. My choice for third place
was Alpha Xi Delta's skit,
"Pershing Ruffles." Well di
rected with excellent tim
ing and precision in move
ment, this skit revealed the
women of the Army. Navy,
Air Force and USA at
Camp Smiley. (Perhaps
named for the male observ
ers!) Delta Gamma's "Hells
Belles" descended to hell
for a party of slow paced,
unrelated and unfunny se
quences climaxed with
"When the Saints Go
Marching In" to Hell. The
dancers saved this skit.
"For Whom the Belle
Toils," Alpha Omicron Pi's
skit, offered little other than
precision in movement and
an interesting, balanced
stage picture in the finale.
An award was also given
for the best traveller act,
but I don't know why. None
of the traveller acts were
award worthy. The award
View
seemed more a conciliation
since, I would guess, that
plaques must be given
away.
The judges voted Gamma
Phi Beta's "Slap Happy"
the best traveller act. It
was actually not best, but
a poorly timed, disorgan
ized Minstrel Man bit plus
luminous gloves and socks.
The mistakes were embar
rassing for the performers
and uncomfortable for the
audience.
Jeanne Garner was an at
tractive mistress of cere
monies. However, the en
tire show seemed to need
a coordinating director.
There were tremendously
long pauses between skits
and traveller acts. And the
lighting during the 'Ideal
Nebraska Coed' and 'Out
standing Collegiate Man
presentations should go
down in theater history as
some of the worst lighting
before such a large audience.

IS etc Beauty Spots
Xoted on Campus
To the editor.
Some of the noted campus
beauty spots are R. Mueller
Tower and "the columns."
Other permanent eye pleas
ers may be passed near An
drew's east entrance and
the north approach to Love
Library.
The former is beautified
by a four foot wire barri
cade enhanced with iron
stakes. While the latter is
complemented with a more
modern creation, a fifty
foot piece of fencing (hog
wire perhaps) laid artistic
ally upon the ground. Irony
of situation is at hand, for
toppled on the earth near
by is a "Please Use the
Walks" sign complete with
tracks it adds the finishing
touch to one of our better
campus abstracts.

Well, once again the an
nual frolicking festivities of
the performing coeds have
been completed and the
numerous laurels have been
bestowed. The show was
good, the entertainment var
ied and well-performed. Con
gratulations and condolences
go to all concerned.
In thumbing through my
contemporarily-decora ted
program of the evening, I
came upon a small, ten-trally-nlaced
ad stating, in
probably the simplest terms
possible, "Gocd Lu ;T." Sev
eral other ads of the same
type wished AWS success in
putting on the show; one
wished Co?d Follies luck
only if votes were cast in
the ri;ht municipal ballot
box. However, this one
small ad inscribed w i th
"Good Lnck"1jecame an ob
ject of attention and in
trigue. To whom was this good
luck being wished? Many
figures, who deserved, and
perhaps needed, the good
luck popped into my addled
mind.
Good luck, perhaps, to the
glowing, mixed-up hands
and feet?
Good luck, perhaps, to the
beauty queens and eligible
bachelors who decided upon
non-conformity and exited
through the audience?
Good luck, perhaps, to the
two tense angels swaying
precariously on their slimly
supported podium in the
sky?
Good luck, perhaps, to the
weary member of the curtain-puller's
anion who
barely made it past inter
Inn
li
mission?
Good luck, perhaps to the
ell-qualified but confused
g h 1 1 n g technician who
couldn't quite decide who
should be Ideal Nebraska
Coed?
Good luck, perhaps, to the
young ladies and gentlemen

Good luck, perhaps, in lo-(

Good luck, perhaps, Ja

Good luck, perhaps, to
Emma Editor, who whipped
through beauty queen and

with agility and vigor, omit

long time and to the relief
of the awaiting audience,
the lengthy list of h o u s e,
dorm, campus, sub r o s a,
hometown, church, and com
munity activities of each
finalist?
On the serious side (a
rather difficult one to pull
out of the hat),v congratula
tions do go to many con
tributing facets of the Coed
Follies show. Each act,
warning or not, was excel
lent, and each deserves con
gratulations. The queens
were beautiful, the bache
lors eligible. Congratulations
to Miss Shellberg and Mr.
Huge on their well-deserved
honors, and may you both
be masked or tackled, as
the case may be.
Congratulations to Miss
Garner on excellence of
ability and poise in filling
the role of mistress of cere
monies, and to the judges
on their winning choices.
Lastly, Congratulations to
AWS for a line show. And
now back to the under
crowded week-ends with
nothing better to do . . .
