Attitudes of the people,
interest, sincerity and seri
ousness of purpose are ba
sic problems of the legisla
ture's lack of sympathy to
ward the .University, re
ported Dr. Robert Chasson,
head of the physics depart
ment. Consequently, the
youth of Nebraska are be
ing shortchanged, he said.
Dr. Chasson, a specialist
in cosmic ray study, two
weeks ago was announced
as one of three Nebraska
professors winning Guggen
heim fellowships. He is the
former head of the univer
sity chapter of the Ameri
can Association of. Univer
sity Professors.
He said his new position
will provide "a considera
ble pay increase." Formal
approval of the resignation
is expected to be given by
Nebraska regents Friday, .

Student
Receives
Award

A proposed design for a
"Heartland Exhibition Pavil
ion" at the 1964 New York
World's Fair has won for
Gary Hansen, a senior archi
tectural student at the Uni
versity, a $1,000 scholarship
for travel abroad.
The scholarship is sup
ported by the Clark and En
ersen architectural firm of
Lincoln and is awarded bien
nually to a University archi
tectural student based on a
two-day competition during
spring vacation.
Hansen's award-winning de
sign is an undulating wall that
wraps around an irregularly
shaped plot, forming one
exhibition area which would
be used jointly by North and
South Dakota, Nebraska and
Kansas.
Hansen's work features
eight plastic columns that
rise out of a central pool. The
columns fold out to form a
protective covering over the
entire space. . . ,
The competition involved
two 12-hour sessions for the
student architects. In this
time they were to conceive
and develop their design.
Last year Hansen won a
$200 award from the Tile
Council of America "as out
standing student showing
promise in architecture," and
first place in the annual
house competition sponsored
by Lincoln Home Builders.
Also, this year he received
a $1,000 grant from the Ameri
can Institute of Architects for
graduate study next fall.
Hansen will graduate in
June and plans to visit Europe
this summer, mainly Barce
lona, where he wishes to ex
amine the creations of An
tono Gaude, called " an archi
tectural prophet."
Hansen's winning design
will be submitted as an en
try in the four-state com
petition now under way.

New Look
The spring issue of the Uni
versity published "Prairie
Schooner has a "new look."
It presents a miniature col

Southern Minnesota, written
by Helen Scheffler Mason, an
ex-Minnesotan and now a Pa

include a piece on "best-selling"
American poets; an ar

man, Charlie "Bird" Parker;
and an account of some fa

Slote, associate professor of
English at Nebraska. She is
substituting for the regular
editor, Professor Karl Sha

Professor's
One-Act Play
Is Published
Because of the suggestion
of a friend, Dr. Joseph
Baldwin, associate professor
of speech and dramatic art,
began writing one-act plays
in 1960.
It has been announced that
"Almost Too Many," his third
one-act play will be published
in the fall of 1962 by Dramatic
Publishing Company of Chi
cago. ' In 1960, a friend noticed that
Dr. Baldwin was fond of tell
ing satirical stories, and
urged him to write them as
plays. He wrote one one-act
comedy and sent it to a pub
lisher, who bought it and
asked for more.
In May, 1961, his one-act
comedy, "A Golden Oppor
tunity for a Lovable Loafer,"
was featured on the evening
programs of the Creative
Arts Festival at the State Uni
versity of South Dakota.

Miss Tederman Is Nominee
For Outstanding Nebraskan
Editors Note: Students are reminded
that Friday at 5 p.m. is the deadline
for turning in nominations for Outsand

nation should be turned into the Nebras
kan office, 51 Student Union.
Nancy Tederman's name has been
placed on the list of those nominated
for the Outstanding Nebraskan award.
Miss Tederman's letter of nomination
is the fifth to be received. Two letters
of nomination have been received for Roy
Arnold, and other nominees are Al
Plummer, Sukey Tinan and Jim Sam
ples. Service, leadership and scholarship
were listed as ways in which Miss Teder
man has contributed to( the University
during her four years as a student. Her
activites include member of Associated
Women Students Board for three years,
Student Council representative and presi
dent of Tassels, scholarship chairman
and first vice president of Alpha Chi
Omega, member of Pi Lambda Theta,
teachers' honorary and president of
Black Masque chapter of Mortar Board.
"Not only is 'Teed' a leader in the
truest sense of the word, but she also is
a lovely person," the letter continued. She
was a finalist for Miss E-Week as a
sophomore, a homecoming queen attend
ant as a junior, a Cornhusker beauty
queen in 1961 and Nebraska's candidate
for Drake Relay's queen in 1962.

quietly; she guides rather than pushes.
Through her choice of campus activities,
one can easily see that her primary ob
jective is to serve her University and
her fellow students, whether by building
school spirit or setting campus standards.
"Her first concern in her activities has
been the' importance of the individual.
Nancy feels very strongly that many peo
ple on this campus have potential which
is being overlooked, and she therefore
feels that leadership positions can be
much more widely distributed. This im
portance of the individual was reflected
in her work in AWS, in her sorority and
in Mortar Board," the letter said.
Other contributions to the University
by Miss Tederman were cited in the
letter of nomination: promoting college
loyalty, advancing the spirit of service
among University students, promoting a
high standard of scholarship, encouraging
leadership and stimulating and develop
ing a finer type of college woman.
Three faculty members have been nom
inated for Outstanding Nebraskan: Miss
Mary Jean Mulvaney; Dr. William E.
Hall, professor of educational psychology
and of history and principles of educa
tion; and Professor Robert Forster.
The deadline for letters of nomination
is Friday at 5:00 p.m. The letters must
be signed and may be turned in at the
Daily Nebraskan office, room 51, Stu
dent Union.

The administration has

and additional help is
promptly forthcoming.
There has been no such
convincing, according to
Chasson.
Chasson indicated that
the legislature is unsym
pathetic to the University
as a whole, not just partic
ular departments, since the
administration for the. most
part decides which pro
grams will be developed
and supported. The admin
istration and citizens of the
state should lobby more
forcefully; the legislature
does not deserve to be
treated with such kid
gloves, he stated.
Chasson replied, in regard
to why the legislature is un-.
sympathetic, that the peo
ple of the state have not
told their representatives
what to do.
They let the decisions
rest on a few people and
until they insist on good ed
ucation and provide the
means toward it, they will
end up with an inferior
grade. If parents and
teachers want to be sure
that their youth will have
the fullest capabilities to
face the competition in our
country, they must take ac
tion to insure that the state
provides the adequate fa
cilities. Otherwise, the state
will be shortchanging its
youth, he concluded.
Begin
Classes
At 7:30?
Plan Will Help
NU Commuters
Start classes at 7:30 or 8:30
a.m. on city campus and
leave classes as they are on
Ag campus?
This possibility has been
suggested by University Busi
ness Manager Carl Donaldson
as a way to ease the class
conflict and rush for students
commuting between Ag and
city campus.
"The staggered class sched
ule on city campus would re
duce traffic congestion in the
7:30 to 8 a.m. rush hour,"
pointed out Student Council
member Tom Kotouc as he
brought. Donaldson's, sugges
tion before Student Council
Wednesday.
"Dorm and Student Union
cafeteria style facilities would
find a relief in the noon to 1
p.m. rush by having students
being dismissed from classes
both at 11:30 a.m. and 12:30
p.m. for lunch," said Kotouc.
"But fraternities and soror
ities might have to go to cafe
teria or two-shift meals in or
der to take advantage of the
new class scheduling," point
ed out Council member Mike
Barton.
According to Kotouc, the
recommendation for such a
reshuffling of classes would
have to be made by the Stu
dent Council before action
could be taken if desired for
next spring or later.
New Council
Takes Over
Wednesday
Outgoing President Steve
Gage surrendered the gavel
to 1962-63 President Don Burt
as the newly-elected Student
Council took office for the
coming year yesterday.
In Council elections of its
new officers, Ann Wahl was
selected recording secretary;
Tom Kotouc, corresponding
secretary and Dick Weill,
treasurer.
"The special finance com
mittee is perhaps the most im
portant for the coming year
and the progress of the Coun
cil," said Burt, in explaining
his new committees.
The new president feels
that if the Council is to arouse
the student interest, a suffici
ent budget is of primary con
cern. "The Universiy of Mis
souri's student government
has a budget of $5,000-$6,000
to provide basically the same
services our Council is ex
pected to provide on only
$800," continued Burt. "A
definite financial prog ram
must be submitted to the
Board of Regents."
The representation issue
will be elevated to the posi
tion of a full time representa
tion committee to develop
plans for "a desirable repre
sentation system," said Burt.
First vice president Dave
Scholz, in commenting upon
the Student Council Associ
ates program, feels "the pro
gram should be made restric
tive to make the Associates
an efficient part of the Council
itself." '
