Research Bill 160 Advances By Nancy Whitford A bill to establish an In dustrial Research Institute for Nebraska has been advanced 5-2 by the Unicameral Edu cation Committee with the provision that the committee neither approves or d i s a p proves of financing the meas ure with proceeds from doned property. The measure, introduced by Sen. Joe T. Vosoba of Wilber, provides that the Institute may be financed under the abandoned property bill LB 160 which will be heard in committee today (Wednes day). Vosoba said the method of financing the Institute was secondary to establishing the need for such a facility. There are numerous pos sibilities for financing the pro ject if LB160 fails to pass," ha said. "These include grants and gifts from inter ested industry and individuals and tax funds to be repaid on a loaa basis." The Institute, which was urged by the University in a rcent report to the Legisla ture on Nebraska's industrial feasibilities, would conduct pplied research on a non Erofit self-supporting fee asis. This is one of the more far-reaching bills in this leg islative session," Vosoba said. "It will provide central re search functions and a clear ing house for information." The bill is supported by Gov. Frank Morrison, State Director of Agriculture and Inspection Pearle F. F i n i gan, Ralph Misko who sought funds for Industrial Develop ment Bill 159; .

Good Person 'Tackles9 Athletic Clothing By Dick Stuckey Working in the middle of tons of shouting, clumbering gridiron monsters seems a dangerous Job for a quiet seven-time grandfather. . But for Clarence Vorce, eleven year veteran member of the fieldhouse staff, the job is only "a lot of fun-filled variety . . . with something different going on all the time." That's putting it mildly. The fieldhouse is the afternoon haven for scores of cleated football killers and spiked track and diamond flashes, not to mention the countless weightlifters, wrestlers, and intramural fellow-travelers who pile ip and out of the fieldhouse in constant demand of towels, socks, sweat shirts, and other unmentionables which undergo athletic abuse. And Clarence, along with the other members of the fieldhouse staff finds a continual Job 6t picking up after the not-too-tidy stalwarts of track and field. Clarence is married and now lives at 3126 Star. His children have grown and gone one son in Phoenix, Arizona, one in Davenport, Nebraska, one daughter in Davenport, and one daughter remains in Lincoln. Both sons served in the Navy, and all sons and daughters have blessed him with a combined total of seven grandchildren the last appearing early this week. Clarence holds an optimistic attitude concerning next fall's gridiron prospects. "We should show improvement," he said. "There's some pretty rough boys out there a good bunch of freshmen this year for next year's sophomore material." , , And Clarence should know. He plays against them every day. IPiiliilM PRAISE BE, NO BUMPS Jt may be bumpy but it's a ride, isn't it? Kappa Kappa Gammas Linda Jensen and Jana Lambach hitch a free ride to the Spring Day. games from city to Ag campus. : No Sweat Fans: Hop A Cow to Spring Buy Rumor has it that transportation to Ag campus fol Spring Day is going to present a problem. Any Spring Day enthu siast can immediately see that this is false when one thinks of all the possible transportation means: cars, bikes, trucks, buses, roller skates, and, of course, any available cows. Both mystery events are designed to provide entertain ing fun for the spectators and participants. Following the games a the Spring Day Picnic will be held by Alpha Zeta, Ag honor ary. The picnic grounds will be located west of the Ag Union near the games area from 4:30-6 p.m. Tickets may be obtained from any Alpha Zeta member for 60 cents. A point system will be set up to determine the over-all Spring Day winner. So many points will be given for first, second, and third places. In the mystery events, two points will be given for each winner. These points differ for each event. Each organization will also receive one point for each different participant which enters the events. The order of events is as follows: 1:00 Men's Push Ball Women's Tug of War 1:45 Women's Egg Blowing Contest 2:00 Men's Tug of War Women's Obstacle race 2:15 Mystery Event 2:30 Men's Bicycle Race 3:00 Women's Cow Milking Contest 3:15 Men's Jousting 3:30 Women's Roller Skating 4:15 P&B Mystery Event 4:30 Alpha Zeta Bar-B-Q 8:00 Spring Night Show and Dance Will Fit All Spooks Final Notice: fittings for caps and gowns for 1961 62 Mortar Boards will be at 5 p.m. today in 342 Stu dent Union. Be prompt, the supply is limited! 'Drop' Day Nears On Ivy Day Students dropping a course for which they have regis tered must file an official drop slip in the Office of the Registrar or their grades will be recorded as failing. The deadline for dropping courses is May 6, Saturday noon. Due to Spring Day and Ivy Day students should plan to complete all drops by 4:30 p.m., Thursday, May 4, to be sure they have no comp lications in meeting the deadline. , Headgear Handler Clarence Vorce, featured in this week's Daily Nebraskan's Good People Series, is pictured above as he surveys the headgear of the Cream and Scarlet in the fieldhouse. Clarence has been a member of the fieldhouse staff for eleven years. H MM I Inman, Ira Sing History Of Negro Race at Cobs' Spring Night Program Columbia recording artists Inman and Ira will be in cluded in the Corn Cobs' Spring Night show Friday night. Inman and Ira will appear along with singer Cathy Carr and the Four Aces at 8 p.m. at Pershing Auditorium. Lu ther and his Night Raiders will also appear at the show to provide music for the dance session to be held from 10:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. Women's hours will be extended to 1:30 a.m. for the evening. Spring Day awards, for the winners of the games to be held that afternoon on the Ag campus, will be presented at the show. Ira Rogers and LaRoy In man are well-known for their chain songs, spirituals and street cries as well as vend ing songs in their presenta tion of heritage and folk mu sic traces of the history of the Negro race. South Side Their acquaintance, with their subject matter stems from their background in Chi cago's south side. The songs are drawn from a vivid life which has stretched from jan itorial duties to lead roles in dramatic productions. LaRoy Inman, the son of a postal employee, alternated the early years of his life be tween living in Chicago and on a Denver farm the family owned. A well-built youngster, he developed into an athlete, let tering in basketball, football and track in high schooL in Chicago. Graduating in 1951, he re ceived an athletic scholar ship to Bradley University where he intended to study medicine. Para-Medic After six months he left to join the Air Force but con tinued a pre-medical program while in the service and be came a para-medic. His work consisted of parachuting be hind enemy lines during the Korean War, to provide med ical care for the wounded. In July, 1956, he finished his service career, disen chanted with medicine. He became a disc jockey in Alexandria, La., and later moved into fill-in jobs as a d.j. around Chicago, joining a dramatic group in 1957. Working at the post office during the day, Inman moved in acting and dramatic groups around Chicago. He unsuccessfully tried out for an Actor's Workshop produc tion in New York which was looking only for singers and dancers. Returning to Chicago he en rolled at a junior college and also worked as Drama Direc tor for the Chicago Park Dis trict, arranging shows in schools throughout the city. It was during this period, in 1959, that he met Ira Rog ers. Rogers made money early in his life. At the age of sev en, he was earning a dollar a day hawking from a vegeta ble truck through the alleys and streets on the south side of Chicago. Active in school and out side . local dramatic clubs throughout his early days, Rogers drew acclaim for the role of Iago in Othello at Wil son Junior College in 1955, as the first negro in an integrate cast of Shakespeare performers.

He was praised for his role in Tennessee William's "Tha Purification" in which he played with a group that played in different cities in the midwest. The need of money forced him out of the entertainment field for a short time in 1957 to learn the insurance busi ness as an underwriter for two years. However, at the age of 20, he started free lancing bit parts around Chicago's Hyde Park area and fell into acap pella singing. He also was as sociated with the Cellar Bo heme group.

The committee, composed of representatives from RAM, IWA, Inter Co-op Council and Delta Sigma Pi business fra ternity, is also drafting a list of proposed Student Council programs which they would present as Council projects for the coming year. The general policies out lined by the committee are: Increased knowledge of the problems and concerns of all students together with an informed and forceful pre sentation of solutions to the administration must be the Council's guide to action. More frequent contact be tween the students and the faculty outside of the class room must be promoted. The people of Nebraska must be more fully acquainted with the University s positive contribution to the state. This must be accomplished in part through the personal activity of the Students. The make-up of the Council must be such that all students of the University are equit ably and truly represented. EETI
