"I'm on special assignment to insure the succss of 62 Skit-oo. "Sure hope everything goes smoothly, tonight. The Strang est things have been happen ing in Pershing lately - Yknow sir, I ve seen some of the bestest skit sets down , there, but rehearsals have really been something! "Just moving props and backdrops into the auditor ium gave me grey hairs. "Someone in the Delta Gamma house noticed at the last minute that part of their backdrop wasn't painted. They were still painting it 10 min ues before time to move in. . . "So guess whose backdrop was carried to Pershing wet? "When I saw garbage can after garbage can moving in to Pershing, I decided to in vestigate in a hurry . . . Yeeks! It seems it's part of the Chi Omega skit's wierd prop collection. "Then -there was the slide problem - NO WHERE IN LINCOLN could the Gamma Phi Beta prop crew find a kiddie slide. But I almost died of fright they were getting ready to tear apart some little girl's backyard gym set . . . "Then those Kappa Kappa Gammas - just couldn't find a speaker's podium for their "Pleasantly , Bombed" skit. Now who ever heard of inverting one beloinging to the Student Union, so the seal on it read UN instead of NU? "Well, sir, 1 earned my pay that first night of re hearsal. Something about ice under the stage left over from the Ice Capades that temperature was about 40 be low. "I heard Sandy Heffelfing er, the director hired by the Associated Women Students Board to polish up the skits, remark that 'If there's one thing I'll remember about Pershing, it will be the1 sub zero temperatures. I'm freez ing!' "Those AWS people were really talented. I spotted stage manager Jane Tenhulzen pulling the curtain for t h e skits ali those paid stage hands, and none of them in sight! "Poor Ifcrble Nore (as Co ed Follies chairman, she'll emcee the show tonight) ! She got snowbound In Minnesota on a debate trip, and almost missed the first rehearsal. "The Alpha Phis had prob lems plus "with their back drop. 'Our backdrop looks like a postage stamp when we put it up,' I overheard Cory Cabella, skitmaster, com plain. "Well sir, that's , what's happened so far. Who knows what'Il happen tonight?" mmililllMlM ,! , Photoa hr Dow McCartnr , ,- , umiiinniiiiin mi- i s . . , , Vol. 15, No. 69 The Daily Nebroskan Friday, February 23, 1962 Orientation For FTP Scheduled A coffee Sunday at 3 p.m in 234-235 Student Union will serve as the first campus wide introduction to the PTP concept. All students, both interna tional and American, who have signed up for the PTP program or who are inter ested in it are asked to at tend. In the membership drive this week, over 250 American and international students signed up for the program with hundreds of others show ing interest. Nebraska International As sociation advisor Carleton Davis will discuss the bene fits of PTP to both Ameri can and international s t u dents.' After explanations of spe cific phases of PTP by com mittee chairman, American and international students will have an opportunity to sign up for the committees of their choice. The" chairmen and their committees are: Jan Jeffery, brother-sister program; Kirk Bradford, housing; Herb Probasco, pub licity; Bev Higgins, book project; Janet Irwin, j o b placement; and Helen Schmierer, tours and orienta tion. Other officers are G u n e 1 Atalsik, vice-chalrmaji, and Diane Tlnan, society chair man and treasurer. Applications for PTP which students have may be turned in at the YWCA office or at the meeting itself. Trial Held On Cheating A case involving a student who sold old final examina tions appeared yesterday be fore the Student Tribunal, ac cording to Frank Hallgren, dean of men. The decision of the Tribunal will be made public Monday In another instance, Dean of Student Affairs J. P. Col bert announced that the of fice of a University instructor had been broken into in the last two days of final examinations. "Th office door latch and lock Were jimmied by a crow bar and one of the doors of a filing case within the of fice was broken into by smashing the front panel of the drawer," Colbert said. No details were released on the action that was being taken on the break in. Floor Plans Approved For New D M ormitory; ock-Up Rooms Built By KAREN GUNLICKS Floor plans for the new Twin Tower Dorm have been decided upon, according to Verner Myers, director of the division of planning and con struction. The rooms will be arranged like the room pictured except that the closet doors will be at the extreme ends of each closet and a heating and cool ing unit will be installed along the outside closet wall. Three plans had been sug gested for the rooms, but aft er mock-up rooms were built, we could plainly see that the one chosen was the best, said Myers. The mock-up rooms are still on display in Nebras ka Hall. The reason for building the mock-up rooms was so the plans could be correctly and practically interpreted which is often hard to do on paper continued Myers. Further study on the mock-up rooms is planned to determine cor rect lighting, coloring, draw er and shelf space, he said. Mock rooms will help ulim- inate the possibility of mak ing mistakes, he commented. If we make one mistake on one side of a room, two mis takes in a room have been made because both sides are identical, which would make 960 mistakes altogether, he added. We hope we can avoid mistakes by using the mock rooms, he said. Myers feels the advantages I of the room chosen are: 1) Each student has an equal area with equal facil ities ' 2) The students are farth er apart from each other when studying 3) It will be easier for one student to study and the other to sleep because of the distance of the desks from the beds. The rooms will have tack boards above the desks, a mirror and a medicine cabi net, built-in desks and bed lights. The four end rooms on each floor will be approximately the same as the other rooms except that the beds will be closer together because of a different door arrangement. Officials hope that the build ing will be ready by the fall of 1963. It will house 960 per sons and feed 1,400. Bids will begin March 15.

Symphony Tradition Shattered; Sousaphone Player Is Female NU Starts Exchange Program The University announced this week that it is now ac cepting applicants for a stu dent exchange program with El Colegio de Mexico under terms of agreement approved earlier by the Board of Re gents. This is the first arrange ment of its kind with a Mexi can institution of higher learn ing, said Dr. Stanley R. Ross, professor of history and chair man of the selection commit tee. ' Under this plan, a small group of University of Ne braska students will live with Mexican families and attend El Colegio de Mexico, an in stitution in Mexico City with one of the best academic rep utations in that country, for one year. American students will have an opportunity to take course work in Spanish, liter ature, history, economics and international relations. Full Credit Mexican students, will at tend the University and take a similar course. Full credit will be given for the work taken at both colleges. Dr. Ross explained that the students must finance their transportation and that costs for attending the Mexican col lege would be approximately the same as at the University. The students, to be selected primarily from the college of Arts and Sciences, must be enrolled as a second-semester sophomore or a first-semes ter junior. They must be do ing better than average work and have a good knowledge of the Spanish language for class instruction will be in Spanish. Deadline for application is April 1, 1962.
