Atomic Blast Is Stage
Lighting Gives Focus,
By BOB RAY
An atomic blast, a fire storm, clouds of
live steam, and . exploding flash 1 bulbs
lend impact to the University Theater's
production of "J.B."
This play, which opens on March 21 in
Howell Theater, captures interest from
the first sight .of the set to the final ca
tastrophe. A ratty circus tent of cocoa-colored
muslin; twisted, tanbark-colored ramps;
a creating trapeze artist's. platform i that
sits like a jury-rigged pulpit in the mid
dle of it all - this is the-set of "J.B."
which gives the spectator a feeling of
standing in a dark alley.

Dean Queries Value
Of Fraternity Sneaks
B Y TOM KOTOUC
Interfraternity Council (IFC) representa
tives were requested Wednesday night to pre
pare reports on the feeling of their houses con
cerning the value of pledge sneaks.
President John Nolon said that the re
quest "for justification of pledge sneaks was
received midway through last semester when
two violations were reported concerning fra
ternity sneaks."
The request, according to
Nolon, came from the Divi
sion of Student Affairs. The
report will be referred to the
Faculty Senate for their con
sideration. In other business, the IFC
set their rush week schedule
up two days to Wednesday
Sunday, September 5-9, 1962,
by a 11-9 vote.
Registration of rushees will
bein the afternoon of Sept.
5 and parties will begin Thurs
day, Sept. 6, according to
Roger Myers, IFC vice
president. The change in schedule
came after Administration in
formed the IFC that it would
be necessary for it to clean
the Selleck rooms used by the
rushees Monday, Sept. 10 for
New Student Week, which
will bef,m Sept. 11.
Student Council interviews
for the IFC slate were set for
March 31 and April 1, accord
ing to Steve George, judiciary
chairman. Fraternity men
who are members of the Stu
dent Council are to act as the
interviewing board.
Each man apeparing before
the interviewing board must
have a letter of recommenda
tion from his fraternity presi
dent. "If no qualified men apply
for representative from any of
the colleges, said George,
"we will not slate anyone for
the position."

Farley Says
Book Thefts
Are Abating
Thefts of personal property
which students left unwatched
on tables and in carrels at
Love Library ha ve largely
been brought under control,
according to Richard A. Far
ley, associate director of Uni
versity libraries.
A warning to those using
the library was issued March
1 asking students to watch
clothing, textbooks, reference
books and notebooks while in
the library.
The announcement reported
that missing "text and ref
erence books have turned up
in second hand book bins of
local bookstores."
"Thefts of texts, personal
reference books and valuable
notes belonging to the carrel
users has made me question
undergraduate use of the
stacks," said Farley.
The methods now used to
prevent the thefts fere not
disclosed by Farley in his de
sire "to catch the rest of the
thieves."
"The cooperation of gradu
ate students and others using
the library has been important
in alleviating the problem
somewhat," Farley added.
"The thieves, or thief," said
Farley, "may not be an under
graduate student, however,
but a high school or non
University student.

Contrast
starts flipping switches to illuminate the
characters created by Archibald Mac
Leish, the whdie shadowy area comes to
light. .
Jones, whose lighting direction for this
play is part of b!s masters thesis in
drama, said this "area lighting" accom
plishes the effect of sharp focus and
strong contrast between highlight and
shadow. The face of Zuss (God) will
sometimes look like death's head.
Lighting in the production is so in
tense that the many rainbow colored fil
ters will be faded within a week. Light
ing is a big part of the play as indicated
by the sensational thermonuclQar climax.

To
Speak
Conservative
Plans Third
Nebraskan
Appearance
By MIKE MACLEAN
Barry Goldwater, United
States Senator, jet pilot,
chain department store
owner, and controversial con
servative, is scheduled to
speak at an All-University
convocation on March 30.
This is his third appearance
in Nebraska in four years.
Goldwater waj born in
Phoenix, Arizona, in 1909. He
attended Staunton Military
Academy, where he won a
prize as the best cadet. He
attended the University of
Arizona for one year, but
quit when his father died.
From 1929 to 1941 he
worked in the family depart
ment store, largely in the ca
pacity as a salesman.
In 1941 he was commis
sioned in the U.S. Air Force,
in which he served until
1945. He is a Brigadier
General in the Air Force Re
serve. Goldwater's political career
began in 1949 when he was
elected to the Phoenix City
Council. In the next year he
managed Howard Pyle's cam
paign for governor. In 1952
Eisenhower carried the state
by 44,000 votes and Gold-
water won by 7,000 votes. He
frankly admits, I rode Ike s
coattails." He was re-elected
in 1956 and 1960.
Goldwater's political views
provoke a lot of controversy
He frequently opposed Eisen
hower s programs as insuf
ficiently conservative. He op
poses income taxes and advo
cates heavy cuts in federal
spending, an end to foreign
aid programs and a sharp
limitation on Social Security.
He agrees that Social Secur
ity is here to stay, but feels
that it should be voluntary
and not expanded to include
medical care for the aged or
anything else.
One of his proposals is that
of breaking off diplomatic re
lations with the Russians .
He favors a take-it-or-leave-it
peace-or-war attitude.
His best-selling book, "Con
science of a Conservative,"
has helped win him a na
tional following. Although his
ideas are not particular, his
personal popularity is incit
ing talk of nominating him
for President in 1964.
Part of Goldwater's person
ality is his sense of humor.
He once posed the question,
"How is it that our govern
ment did better against
General Electric than it did
against Cuba. He enjoys
quoting his favorite anti-Gold-water
slogans, "Back to the
store in '64," and "Bury
Goldwater."
One factor which is caus
ing many political sages to
forbode doom for the junior
Senator from Arizona is his
refusal to repudiate the ex
treme right wing John Birch
society. He has stated, "a
great many fine people" are
members of that group.
He is a proponent of inte
gration, but thinks that the
federal government should not
Interfere vith the Southern
states' right to maintain seg
regation, even in the light
of the Supreme Court de
cision. He opposes federal aid to
schools, mainly because in his
opinion, the schools don't
need it. He has stated that
if he were President he would
gradually remove all farm
I supports, coupled with a non
government program to aD
sorb the displaced people.
Goldwater is known for his
great simplification of issues,
like "get tough with the Rus
sians." He is admittedly try
ing to woo the young, uncom
mitted voter the college
student and his success in
this is one reason why the
right-wing charmer is not be
ing laughed off by the politi
cal observers of the day.

Tennis Star Sets Goal
'Of Best Golfer Ever'
By BOB BESOM
"Perhaps one day I'll be
able to play golf with the
President," quipped the
World's tennis queen Althea
Gibson, who has switched her
attention to tfye fairways.
The powerful, world famous
Negro, who towered over the
men at the press conference,
has set her long range goal
at "being the best golfer
there ever was," similar to
the goal she decided to strive
for in tennis back in 1942.
"I expect to be tops in three
years," Miss Gibson stated in
her highly confident manner.
Miss Gibson, who has little
trouble with "drives," one
flying 285 yards "with a tail
wind," won her fourth ama-
teur golf tourney, the Ray
Mitchell North-South Winter
Meet, by 26 strokes recently.
Althea cited the decline in
professional tennis as the pri
mary reason for the switch
to golf two years ago. She
wanted to keep a hand in
athletics and stated that there
is nothing else to win in ten
nis while there are many
challenges ahead, in golf.
There are plenty of goll
tournaments around for wom
en, stated Althea, but she ad
ded, "Sometimes when I look
at the purses In the men's
tournaments, I wish I were a
man."
Miss Gibson, who is making
Campus
her second trip to the Corn
husker capitol for the region
al meeting of the Women's
Athletic Association, sees her
only tennis competition now-a-days
in tour demonstration
matches. She has one of
these demonstrations billed
for the Coliseum today at
9:30 a.m.
"Miss Tennis" answered a
variety of questions thrown
her way and held a confident
composure even though she
was "a little tired." She left
her home base in New York
City at 5 a.m. Thursday and
arrived in Lincoln at noon.
She gives many talks to
students in the New York
area as the community rela
tions head of a breadbaking
concern. Her message to the
youth of America concerns
the element of education.
"Everyone needs a good ed
ucation to cope with situa
tions in this highly competi
tive world."
"Youngsters are getting
smarter and smarter . . .
they become adults over
night," she contends, but her
objective in such speeches is
to curtail the high drop-out
rate in the East.
Miss Gibson has been in
athletic circles most, of her
life and contends that sports
for girls are very important,
adding that "women are
stronger than men." She-has
played basketball, Softball,
table tennis, and "a bit of
everything."
.Her experience with track
is quite limited, however. In
working out for track in high
school, she became accus
tomed to starts with a whis
tle signal. And in her first
(and last) actual meet com
petition, she was left in the
blocks when the gun was used
to start the race.
Miss Gibson concluded the
conference with the remark
that although she has never
thrown a golf club, she has
tossed a tennis racket occa
sionally. Deadline Extended
For World's Fair
Eight students have signed
up for the Union-sponsored
World's Fair trip to Seattle
April 24 to 29.
The deadline for application
has been extended to March
26. Fifteen students will be
required to make the tour
possible.
