Col. Frank Sullivan, pro
fessor' of ..Aircience at the
Univer-sityf 'has'labeled word
ing in a wire service news
item on a proposed change
in the-Sserved Officer Train
ing Corp as "unfortunate
phraseology." but "basically
correct."
Col. Sullivan was specifical
ly opposed to the wire serv
ice's use of the phrase "dras
tic cutback in the ROTC in
colleges and high schools."
The article' said that a pro
posal was coming before Con
gress which would, according
to Defense Secretary Robert
McNamara, call for an end
to ROTC programs in high
schools, the elimination of
the present compulsory ROTC
programs in all land grant
colleges, and a reduction of
.tUtSjour- year ROTC courses
in most colleges and univer
al. "We still need the same
number of officers in the Air
Force and within the next
seven to eight years we will
need them in even larger
quantities," he said.
According to Sullivan, the
Air Force is spending a large
sum of money each year to
put freshmen and sophomores
through the basic ROTC se
quence and are getting only
a few advanced cadets for
commissioning.
Under the new plan, the
money spent to train and
clothe the freshman and soph
omore cadet would be spent
to give higher pay and schol
arships to advanced cadets.
Sullivan said that the Air
Force could get better men
under the new plan, because
the cadet would have to com
pete nationally for the schol
arships which could amount
to as much as $1100 per year
per man.
The wire service article,
Sullivan said, reported that
there could be as much as a
several million dollar savings.
He said that in reality the sav
ings would probably be spent
for scholarships and higher
pay.
Permissive Legislation
Sullivan explained that the
bill would go through Con
gress as "permissive legisla
tion", which means that col
leges and universities would
have the option of choosing be
tween the present ROTC pro
gram and the new non-mandatory
system.
Under the new plan, college
men would enter the ROTC
program as juniors, and in
stead of training the fresh
men and sophomores as they
do now they would be re
quired to attend two summer
camps which would give them
the same experience.
The Air Force obtains its
officers from three basic
sources the Air Force
academy (10 00 per year),
ROTC (5000-6000) and the Of
ficers Training School (OTS)
which trains the excess num
ber needed. This number var
ies from year to year, Sulli
van said.
Sullivan said, "Without the
ROTC Program the Air Force
would die in 15 years.
Sullivan favors the new pro
posal, but said the the Board
of Regents would have to con
sent to the new plan if it is
passed in Congress. '
sities to 2 years.
According to the article, a
possible savings of several
million dollars annually in
present ROTC costs might be
feasible if the proposal were
accepted by Congress.
Same Number
Col. Sullivan said that there
would not be any fewer col
lege men trained under the
ROTC reorganization propos-

By SUE HOVTK
Nebraskan Staff Writer
Using stages dating back to the be
ginning of theatrical entertainment and
the Renaissance, eight University students
will direct plays in the Arena and Pros
cenium Theaters.
Each semester students in speech 102
and 203, taught by Dr. Dallas Williams,
associate professor of speech, must di
rect a play for the Laboratory Theater.
Dr. Williams explained that the audi
ence completely surrounds the stage in
the Arena Theater. Still in use today, he
said it probably originated when story
tellers stood in the middle of a circle of
spectators while entertaining them.
It is very intimate and there is much
empathy in the relationship between the
actor and audience which comes from
the close participation of the spectators,
Dr. Williams said.
Makeup, Costumes
Because of this, you have to be care
ful about makeup and costumes, he con
tinued. The Renaissance painters and archi
tects stimulated an interest in a created
picture instead of the acting-audience con
tact, he continued. In the Proscenium The
ater, the audience sits on one side and
looks through a frame.
There is more artistic detachment in
this kind of theater when the audience
is not as close to the performers, said
Dr. Williams. "You look at it, comment
on it, but don't participate in it as much,"
he explained.
He compared it to a person walking
down a street, looking in a window and
seeing people talking. When he walks in
and becomes concerned with what is hap
pening is when he would enter the Arena
Theater atmosphere.
Students choose their own play, hold
tryouts and are responsible for the cos
tumes, make-up, sets and publicity.
The play may be of any type and ei
ther a cutting (certain scenes taken from
a longer play) or the entire play.
The tryouts are open to all University
students, said Dr. Williams.
Curtain time tonight will be 7:30 p.m.
"Bedtime Story," by Sean O'Casey and
directed by Helen Glenn, will begin the
evening's entertainment in the Arena The
ater, 303 Temple Building. "The Tiny
Closet," by William Inge and directed by
Mrs. Janet Novak, will follow in the Pros
cenium Theater, 201 Temple Building.
Start Work
In the Arena Theater, "The Respect
able Prostitute," by Jean-Paul Sarte and
directed by Roger Vosika will be pre
sented. This series will be presented again
tomorrow night.
On Sunday and Monday "The Zoo
Story," by Edward Albee and directed by
Bonnie Benda, will be presented in the
Arena Theater. In the Proscenium The
ater, "The Birthday Party," by Hjalmar
Bergstrom and directed by Judy Birney
will be presented.
"The Glass Menagerie," by Tenessee
Williams and directed by Judie Kriss,
will be done in the Arena Theater at 7:30
p.m. on Jan. 17 and 18. In the Prosceni
um Theater, "The Man with the Flower
in his Mouth," by Luigi Pirandello and di
rected by Jenise Burmood, will be pre
sented. "A Manoeuvre," an original play
written and directed by Patrick Drake
will also be shown in the Arena Theater
on those dates. Dr. Williams explained
that they quite often do original plays
because it's a way for playwrights to
have their work produced. "A play has
to be produced and it's not complete un
til then," he said.
The Laboratory Theater productions
are free.

Nolon Nominated
As 'Outstanding
Bv JIM MOORE
Nebraskan Staff Writer
The first student nomination
for "Outstanding Nebraskan,"
John Nolon, has been re
ceived by the Daily Nebras
kan. The letter of nomination
reads :
John has accumulated
many honors and achieve
ments during his now three
and one-half years of service
to the University. His activity
record includes: President of
Innocents and the Interfrater
nity Council (IFC) past sec
retary of Phi Delta Theta,
past IFC secretary.
Past Vice President of the
Big Eight Student Govern
ment Association, past Vice
President of the Big Eight
Interfraternity Conference,
former assistant business
manager for the Cornhusker,
former Student Council mem
ber, to name only a few.
"Perhaps his greatest asset
lies in his outstanding leader
ship, determination, and dedi
cation shown in the projects
he undertakes. To cite a few
examples:
"Student Council, o v e r the
past years, has started to de
velop new areas of interest
and activity. John pioneered
the now prominent Public
Issues Committee, the back-
bone of this new role for
student givernment.
"Probably his most tang
ible contribution to the Uni
versity has been through his
enorts to improve and de
velop the fraternity system.
As secretarv of IFC. he com
piled and started the wheels
turning .-for the now experi
mental Fraternity Manage
ment Association (FMA) a
program which can result in
the saving of thousands of dol
lars to the Greek system, and
the individual member. He
was also instrumental in sev
eral other reports which
have started the system to
wards the top.
"As president of the IFC
during the past year, "JR"
has given many hours of hard
work to see that the Scholar
ship, Pledge Training and
Rush activities of the system
are improved and developed.
The tightening up of all
IFC operations has resulted
in a more economical and ef
ficient program of advance
ment which brought praise to
the Nebraska fraternity situa
tion from the National Inter
fraternity Conference leaders.
"Innocents Society has also
taken on a new look with pro
jects which take advantage of
the leadership encompassed in
that group. The recent safety
campaign is one example. The
program has resulted in an
alertness of the hazards of
driving by nearly all students.
"John, in his modesty, will
be the first to agree that he
has not accomplished h i s
tasks and obligations alone.
But most of those who have
worked with him will be
among the first to recognize
that it was his leadership,
intelligence, insight, respect
and organization, topped with
two prime essentials, dedica
tion and desire, which led
them to the accomplishments
of their jobs.
"He is a person of out
standing moral character and
integrity. John is an "ideal
ist" who has never lost sight
of the goals which he has set
up for himself and the or
ganizations he has been part
of. There is no other individ
ual more qualified or deserv
ing of this award than he."

New Music Building Rates
Highest in Construction
A new music building is now number one on the
University's construction list if funds are available, re
ported Carl Donaldson, Business Manager.
The music department has had an outstanding need
for a new building for many years in order to take care
of the large numbers of students taking music and also
to take care of the many instruments, said Professor
Emanuel Wishnow, chairman of the department.
He added that one of the problems his department
now faces is that "we're spread all over campus." He
said that because of lack of space many rehearsals and
chorus classes have to be held in the Union, Social Sci
ence Auditorium and University High.
Many instruments such as pianos are sensitive to
temperature and humidity, so moving the larger instru
ments to various buildings around campus is hard on
themr he pointed out.
"We almost need a full-time plasterer in our present
building," said Professor Wishnow. He mentioned that re
cently a plan to repaint the window frames in the 68-year-old
building had to be dropped because the wood in .
the frames was too badly deteriorated to take a coat of
paint.
Professor Wishnow said that in most music classes,
a teacher will work with a small number of students at
a time. He pointed out that in the present building, some
times two teachers have to use a classroom at the same
time. He said that two students playing or singing differ
ent songs at the same time in the same room is distract
ing to all concerned.
Presumably a proposal for the new building would
have come in the 1963-65 biennium, reported Donaldson.
According to an earlier report, Donaldson said that
if Congress should authorize a matching fund program
for medical or dental facilities on American college cam
puses, the University might channel its tax dollars for
building purposes in such a direction.
"If somebody would put up X number of dollars for ,
a new music building, it would certainly enhance con
struction possibilities," Donaldson said.
The report stated that the University may desire
what is now privately-owned property as a site for the
music complex development.
