INTERFRATERN !
TY COUNCIL (IFC) rush
committee unanimously re
jected proposed plans for de
ferred at the University. The
reasons were that the fra
ternities would probably
pledge smaller classes due to
an increasing lack of interest
in the fraternity system, the
burden of orienting men to
college life and finding first
semester housing space. The
fraternity system would lose
$180,000 during the first se
mester each year, and the
University would have to es
tablish a broader long term)
housing program under de
ferred rush.
ANOTHER DORMITORY

Manpower Business Service Offers
Summer Employment for Students
College students and teach
ers looking for summer jobs
mav find them at one of 290
branches of Manpower, Inc.,
world-wide temporary help
and complete Dusiness serv
ManDower is an organi
zation that specializes in lur
ing people who are oiuy avail
able to work on a short-term
or cart-time basis. According
to Elmer Winter, Manpower,
Inc., president, a great many
college students and teachers
are needed for assignments
this summer.
t-
The only requirement for
applying at one of the Man
power offices in the United
States is that an applicant be
over 18 years of age.
Winter emphasized the de
mand is great for temporary
workers with office skills
secretaries, stenographers,
typists, office machine oper
ators, file clerks, bookkeep
ers and telephone solicitors.
Winter went on to say that
"the variety of services
which manpower offers
means that persons without
office skills might be as
signed to anything from mod
eling to taking surveys, dem
onstrating products, distribut
ing pamphlets, serving as
hostesses and selling in de
partment stores."
The reason for the demand
is that in summer Manpower
business and industrial cli
ents require temporary serv
ices to handle the additional
workload created because of
vacationing employees.
Male students and teachers
willing to do casual labor
might be assigned to light
factory work. If a student
has the necessary back
ground, he might be assigned
to drafting, engineering, ac
counting or bookkeeping po
sitions. Every applicant is given a
series of tests to determine
what jobs he can do best.
In all cases, a Manpower
employee is paid the going
rate in his community for
the kind of work he does.
Winter said, "This type of
work arrangement is best
suited to the student or teach
er who wants to combine
work with study and vaca
tion. However, we've had
employees who've been kept
busy full-time on Manpower
assignments."
For the teacher or student
interested in combining work
with travel, Winter comment
ed on Manpower's work-travel
program.
"After registering and pass
ing the necessary tests in
any Manpower office, the
employee who wants to work
travel is given a certificate
introducing him to Manpower
offices in other cities in the
United States and Canada.
The income from working in
different cities can go a long
way toward financing a
trip," Winter said.

takes Class
Of 85 Frosh
The Admissions Committee
of the College of Medicine
has accepted 85 students for
the class of 1967.
Dr. James Benjamin, As
sistant Dean and Chairman of
the admissions and scholastic
standing committee, said,
"We have accepted 85 stu
dents for the medical class
of 1967, 79 of whom are Ne
braska residents and seven
non-residents. "In addition,
we have accepted 12 alter
nates" in case of withdraw
als and additions before the
freshman class matriculates
in September, 1963," Dr. Ben
jamin commented.
A study of the family back
ground reveals that 14 of the
students' are engaged in
sales work, 11 in farming or
ranching, nine in individual
businesses and 22 in a pro
fessional line, such as phy
sicians, educators, ministers
or accountants. Fifty - six
freshmen hold bachelor de
grees, c
Pre-medical work for 31 of
the freshmen was taken at
the University.
"Don't look for obscure formulas or mystery," said
Rumanian-born Constantin Brancusi, one of the 20th cen
tury's great sculptors. "It is pure joy that I am giving
you."
Brancusi sculptured "Princess X" one of the newly
acquired pieces of sculpture to be permanently installed
in the Great Hall of the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery.
Also purchased for the Gallery are "Bather," a seven-foot
bronze by Jacques Lipchitz and "Song of a Bird,"
a two-piece companion composition in Greek Marble and
red Swedish Marble, by Isamu Noguchi.
The sculptures and the Art Gallery will be shown
for the first time during four days of dedicatory cere
monies and open houses May 16-19. The Gallery will be
open to students next Friday.
The Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery becomes a part
of the cultural heritage of Nebraskans through the gen
erosity of the late Frances and Bromley Sheldon. The
funds were made available to the University through
their estates.
Hie design of the Gallery takes Into account the
comfort of the visitor. All attempts were made to elim
inate gallery fatigue, caused primarily by eye strain, foot
weariness and monotony.
The ten viewing galleries are without windows, a
factor which eliminates reflected glare from pictures, es
pecially those covered with glass. Special lighting by
Richard Kelly of New York, produces a gentle wash ef
fect, which places a uniform light intensity on the walls,
sufficient to see the objects without any eye strain,
.. Spacing of pictures and sculpture throughout the gal
lery in an uncluttered atmosphere1 are designed to give
the visitor a feeling of serenity and relaxation.
' Architectural devices such as the Great " Hall, the
bridge stairway, portals into the Great Hall, and the
varying size of the individual galleries afford respite
from museum fatigue.
Together with these intended techniques for comfort
are the blend of the richness of the color gold through
out the Gallery and a change in the texture of the wall
covering. , , . ,
The Gallery reflects the distinct artistic stamp of Archi
tect Philip Johnson the dominating tapered and
curved pier forms and its interior richness.
His pier-form design, which rings the massive rec
tangle of the Gallery was first used to a large extent by
Johnson in the Amon Carter .Museum of Western Art,
completed in 1961 in Ft. Worth, Tex.
It is again repeated with variations in the New York
State Theater of the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts
and in a private paviiion at his home in New Canaan,
Conn., both of which are now under construction.
Besides its decorative addition to the building,, cre
ating certain delicateness out of the massiveness, the
pier form produces shadows, ever changing with the
sun.
This desired, created effect can perhaps be traced
back to Corbusier's definition of architecture, which
Johnson likes to quote: "Architecture is the play of forms
under the light, the play of forms correct, wise, magnifi
cent." The New Yorker has used the richness of marble
Italian Travertine of color and texture throughout the
Gallery to give it warmth and eye appeal.
All of this is done with simplicity, but through con
trasting forms.
Mr. Johnson said, "I like the thought that what we
are to do on this earth is to embellish it for its greater
beauty, so that oncoming generations can look back to
the shapes we leave here and get the same thrill that
I get looking back at theirs at the Parthenon, at
Chartres Cathedral."
The new Gallery is appropriately placed within the
original four-block campus of the University, which in
1869 was a raw prairie on the north edge of Lincoln,
far from the cultural centers of the nation.
The Gallery will be dedicated Thursday, before 300
invited guests. Dr. Frank Stanton, president of Columbia
Broadcasting System will be the main speaker. He will
speak on "The Museum and the Mass Media."
Thursday evening will be open house for University
faculty.
Students are invited to open house next Friday from
10 a.m. to 3 p.m. That evening there will be open house
for members of Nebraska Art Association. The public
wul be invited to see the structure May 18 and 19.
