"Project is misunderstood," aid Louise Holbert Casey, "and I feel that those who misunderstand it, criticize it." As a counselee in the Teen age division of Lincoln Proj ect throughout high school, and later as a counselor in Childs (now called Junior) Project for nearly two years, she explained that "if sincere ly applied, these ideas in hu man relations can be devel oped and can be seen at work. "I am no longer a member because of a lack of enough time to spend with my coun selee to develop a counselee counselor relationship takes time and consideration."

Teenage Project is aimed at improving relations among the students of different high schoolf , according to Dr. Wil- 'Project Is Not Really Rushing' liam E. Hall, director of NHRRF. Pam ' Hirshback, ' a junior who participated in Teenage as a counselor for two years, expressed the opinion that "it seemed the group was not ac complishing what they set out to do. The participants looked forward to whom they would see at the next group meet ing. "They didn't look for the real purpose behind tWe meet ings. It seemed more of a so cial group the counselees themselves didn't seem to carry the principles of Proj ect out of the meetings. Time Element "I resigned," said Miss Hirshback, "because, for the time spent, I felt that I wasn't contributing enough." She ad ded that she felt that many Universit'y students consid IDEALIST Music, Drama Departments To, Present Mozart Opera "Cosi Fan Tutte," Mozart's great operatic gift to the world, will be produced by the University Music and Drama departments at 8 p.m., Feb. 7-10 in Howell Me morial Theater. Leon Lishner, in charge of the production", direction and musical preparation, said that the-opera fully displays the scope and variety of the geni us of Mozart. "He has endowed the score, set to a libretto by celebrated Lorenzo Da Ponte, with some of the most sublimely exquis ite music he ever wrote," said Lishner. . "Cosi Fan Tutte," written originally in Italian, will be done in English. The title means . "Women Are Like That." Opera Story The story of the opera be gins when Don Alfonso, a cyn ical old philosopher, declares to his young friends Ferrando and Guglielmo that no women can be trusted, including their respective fiancees, -sisters Dorabella and Fiordiligi. They are enraged at this statement and accept his of ered it an hono$ to belong to NHRRF, "but once they had the honor, they often shirked in their duty as a counselor." Miss Hirshback praised the principles on which Project is based as highly worthwhile, but noted that, "if you would sit down and ask a Project member to explain these pur poses, often they wouldn't be able to tell you." "From Project you gain an awareness of the need to get along with people," she said, "but I feel I could have gained as much from an or dinary social meeting." "You get out of Project ex-, actly what you put into it," said Chip Kuklin, co-chairman of Teenage Project for the second year. "Here we're working primarily' on y an in dividual basis it is up to the counselor to establish the re lationship with his counselee. . Opportunity "We hold group meetings mainly to provide counselors an opportunity to gain new ideas and perspective, and to give them an opportunity to watch their counselees under differing circumstances. Said Kuklin, "the basic thing is to find out what, is good human relations, and the counselees chosen have dem onstrated an aptitude ' for these potentially good human relations. "Our goal is to discover what this ability is, and we PATTERSON - fer of a wager that he can prove his point, in 24 hours. Hilarious situations develop and combine to make this work a musical lark, said Lishner. "Cosi Fan Tutte" is enjoy ing great popularity around the country at the moment, explained Lishner. The Met ropolitan Opera will perform it at the White House in a Xiw weeks. . Vocal Demands Lishner said that the opera makes extraordinary vocal demands on the singers. "I feel that it is a tribute to the high level of the students that we have been able to put on this opera," he added. The director said that the opera had been double cast (two alternating casts) in or der to eive more students the opportunity and experience of being in an opera. Fiordiligi will be played by Pat Peterson and Ann Blom quist. Jocelyn Sack and Shar on Binfield will portray the part of Dorabella. Despina will be played by Judy Lawr ence and Christine Johnson. Gene Dybdahl and Roger have established this system on an individual basis to gain the inside information. Kuklin participated in the Foundation as a counselee for two years and has been a counselor for three years. Kuklin said he felt most people who resign the Foun dation, do so because it is time-consuming. A c r i t i c i s m sometimes aimed at Teenage Project is that counselees may get a biased view of a particular fraternity or sorority through their counselors. ' Make Rules Noted Kuklin, "we make rules within Teenage concern ing this, and try to adhere closely to Panhellenic and In terfraternity Council regula tions'. Counselors cannot have counselees in their houses, add counselors cannot host their counselees with a group of fraternity or sorority friends. "The difference is," said Kuklin, "that they gain a good taste of college life; and, therefore, know more than the average high school stu dent. "It's not really rushing," said sophomore Judy Brumm. a former Teenage counselee. "Counselees ask questions, and counselors answer them." Miss Brumm said that as a counselee, "I didn't like my counselor because they (the group) forced it on me. We PHILOSOPHER Quadhamer will be Don Al fonso. Lou Lawson and Paul Holzworth will portray Gug lielmo. Ferrando will be played by. Ken Scheffel and George Mechling.

Basse members are Larry Swanson, Dewey Jen sen, Leland Flickinger, and Allen Epstin. t Dr. Raymond Haggh pre pared the chorus and assisted in the musical preparation. Emanuel Wishnow, chairman of the Music department, will conduct the performance. The University Orchestra will play for the opera. James W. Baker was in charge of the sets. Lishner said that there was a prob lem of fast scene changes which Baker solved by build ing a series of levels designed to permit the uninterrupted flow of work. were supposed to be 'old buds,' No Purpose "I couldn't see the purpose," said Judy, or how we were achieving it, because you are supposed to be developing qualities such as leadership and they start with leaders. "It seemed useless, be cause it was where the popi- 4It Becomes Prestige Organization' lar kids went to be with the other popular kids. Project became a prestige organiza tionyou were supposed to be neat because you were in It." She felt that the most worth while of the group's activities was its sponsorship of an an nual Christmas party for the children of some unfortunate Lincoln families. BJU Gunlicks, a former counselor in the Foundation, explained that he felt the ideas and principles behind the group are highly benefi cial, but that "for the result ing benefits to those con cerned, it is too time-consuming."

Patterson and Steve Gage are the 1961-62 faculty and student Outstand ing Nebraskans. They were chosen for the award by The Daily Nebraskan, and will be honored at a Fri day noon luncheon in the Nebraska Union. John Nolan To Preside Over IFC John Nolan became the 1962-3 president of the Inter fraternity Council (IFC) by an acclamation vote in Wednes day's IFC meeting, as Don Ferguson, this year's presi dent, surrendered his gavel. Rounding out the executive council are Roger Myers, vice- president; Bill Buckley, sec retary and Phil Tracey, treas urer. , In his ac cep t a n c e speech, Nolan called for a stronger IFC to perpetuate and build the frat e r n i t y system. "We must plan ahead for expansion of the frater Nolan nity system in terms ades," said Nolan, of dec "not in terms of years." Listing changes he will pro pose to the IFC, Nolan out lined the organization of a fin ance committee to work under the treasurer to further study ing and setting up the Fra ternity Management Associa tion, (FMA). Vice-president Roger Myers suggested use of IBM ma chines to assist in processing bid cards and forms during the fall rush week, utilizing some of the aspects of Okla homa University's IBM rush system. Date Her, Later There will be 1 a.m. hours tonight for all University coeds who venture beyond their books this evening. The reason for the extended hours is the Junior IFC Ball which will be held at East Hills. Project course was good, but I ques tion if true relationships be tween counselor and counsel ee are built. In order to de velop the relationship that should be attained, one would have to devote too much time. Most students in Project have other outside activities, too, in addition to being full time students. There just isn't enough time. Bill also said he felt the counselees should exhibit more of a need for personal development. "Most of the present counselees have al ready exhibited their poten tial In such qualities as lead ership. John Abrahamzon, current student head of NHRRF, pointed out why the Founda tion often chooses for its counselees those who have ex hibited outstanding qualities. Study Situation "We're in a studying situa tion," said Abrahamzon "where we want to study the best qualities of personality. In further explanation, he said, "if I were going to grow flowers, what kind do I want to grow? I'd study the best kind I knew. "In Project,, we study the best qualities we can find so we can invest them in other people. The counselee bene fits because he has an oppor tunity to develop his own po tentialities further." UL According to tne letter nom inating Dr. Patterson, "for, 40 years Dr. Patterson has served his University and his State as both an illuminating educator as professor of phil osophy, and as an active par ticipant in civic affairs on both the local and national levels." Chairman of the Philosophy Dept. from 1953 to the present. Dr. Patterson has written five books and many articles on logic, moral standards, and philosophy. The letter nominating Stev Gage as Outstanding Nebras. kan expressed the belief that "no other individual in the University of Nebraska com munity has ever been more devoted to his university or is more deserving of the hon or. Steve, who holds the second highest grade point average in his class in the College of Engineering, ' is the current president of Student Council, and treasurer of Innocents Society. Other faculty members nominated for Outstanding Nebraskan are: Dean J. P. Colbert, Captain Charles H. Svoboda, Dr. Charles Colman, and Dr. Paul A. Olson.

Don Ferguson rece'ved an f onorary nominatir was Ineligible for the i. be cause he is a staff member of the Daily Nebraskan. Individual profiles of the two Outstanding Nebraskans are on pages 4 and 5. Library Closes Love Library will be closed the Friday evening of finals, according to George Peterson, Student Council library committee chairman. The action was promoted by the lack of student use of the labrary when it was open the Friday of finals last semester and by lack of available funds in the li brary budget. Counselee Learns Work Susan Saulter, a member of Orthopedic Project, has worked a year and a half with counselees at the Ne braska Orthopedic Hospital. 'Our Job' "Our job," said Miss Salt er, "is not just to entertain, but 1 to help the youngsters emerge from the shells they build around themselves. . "By keeping detailed note books on our progress, we have been able to see really positive results. Often," said Susie, , "counselors have a lack of insight into what they're doing. They expect to see immediate results; be cause it is often a very slow process, they don't see what they've gained and become discouraged." Miss Salter added, "the in terest in people that you de velop comes gradually; it doesn't just hit you in the face." Julie Porter, a member of Junior Project, noted that youngsters of junior high school age develop very rap idly. She said that while prog ress in building a relationship is more accelerated,- the re sponsibility of the counselor is that much increased. Joan Myhren, the chairman of Junior Project for junior high school youngsters, noted that the overall Foundation goal is idealistic, "but what you contribute to it, you will ain. If it is just another ac tivity, you will gain nothing."
