The University will join
with the rest of the English
speaking world in honoring
William Shakespeare on the
400th anniversary of his birth
with a seven week series of
public performances,
"Shakespeare on the Plains."
The festival will include the
presentation of "Hamlet" by
the University Theatre, dra
matic readings of Shake
speare's work and madrigal
music from the Elizabethan
period.
Dr. Robert Knoll, professor
of English, and Dr. Dallas
Williams, professor of speech
and dramatic art, are in
charge of the program, which
will include both faculty and
students from the depart
ments of speech, art, Eng
lish, music, the art gallaries,
KUON-TV, the three year
masters program and the
honors courses in English.
Knoll says that the effort
is being undertaken in a high
spirit of responsibility and
dedication.
"We see this as the Univer
sity's special province to nro
vide the best possible setting
to commemorate Shake
speare, the v man and h i s
work," he said. "This will
likely be the only opportuni
ty in the lives of many in this
region to be exposed to the
full range of the genius of
this man who contributed so
greaOjrto owttulture."
Tickets for the production
oi "Hamlet" can be obtained
through the University Thea
tre. All other productions are
free and open to the public.
A special, tevolving set with
three backgrounds has been
constructed for the produc
tion of "Hamlet." Designed
by Charles Howard, assistant
professor of speech and dra
matic art, the set will revolve
on a special pedestal at the
center of the stage.

Enzymes and chemistry are
the life of Robert Johnston,
professor of bio - chemistry,
who is currently working with
a public health grant on the
study of enzymes.
Johnston, who received his
Ph.D. at the " University of
Chicago, stated the problem
that he is trying to solve in
relation to the reaction of en
zymes: "We want to know the
exact chemical sequence of
events from the time a sub
stance approaches the actiye
surface of an nzyme until the
product of the reaction is
formed."
"Nearly all chemical reac
tions which occur in cells are
brought about by action of the
enzymes. All enzymes as far
as it has been found, are pro
teins," said Johnston in ex
plaining the nature of en
zymes.
His interest lies largely with
the sulfhydro group in cata
lytic reactions that occur on
the surface of the enzymes.
"The sulfhydro groups break
down proteins into different
products. The role of the sul
fhydro groups in enzymes is
one that brings about activa
tion and condensation of ami
no acids to form protein "
Amino acids are the building
blocks of protein and en
zymes are proteins.
"We received $16,000 from
one public health grant to fi
nance our phase of research,"
said Johnston, "We also re
ceived a $15,000 public health
grant last year to provide
funds for another type of en
zymotology research project
that was headed by Dr.
Scholz.
Johnston, who termed h i
work "interesting and chal
lenging," explained his inter
est in sulfhydro groups as
"evidence that we have con
cerning the fact that sulfhydro
groups are involved in reac
tion with the reactive surface
of enzymes to break them
down to thioesther compounds.
"These reactions (involving
sulfhydro groups and en
zymes) are not simple one
step reactions that take place
on the surface of enzymes to
affect the formed products,"
related Johnston.
"There Is a climate of
change in higher education,
reflecting change in our so
ciety," a Michigan State Uni
versity home economics edu
cator said here last Friday.
Miss Jeanette Lee, Direc
tor of Resident Instruction
and Assistant to the Dean of
Home Economics at MSU, di
rected a two-day curriculum
workshop at the Nebraska
Center for Continuing Educa
tion. Attending the workshop
were members of the Uni
versity of Nebraska School of
Home Economics staff, In
cluding persons engaged in
teaching, research and exten
sion work.
In discussing the philosophy
of home economics and cur
riculum trends and needs,
Miss Lee said the focus or
concern continues to be on
families in our .changing so
ciety. "In planning a curriculum,
we need to provide a liberal
education for all students, be
concerned with the aspect of
unity among specialities in
home economics and provide
professional preparation for
the home economist."
There will be more re
search in home economics
conducted than ever before
for the benefit of the con
sumer, Miss Lee predicted.
A strong background in home
economics is good in many
fields because of the many
ways in which it can be used,
she pointed out.

Housing Regulations
Madison, Wise. (CPS)
A major change in the Uni
versity of Wisconsin's housing
regulations, allowing all sen
iors, regardless of age, to
live in apartments beginning
Sept. 1964, was passed by tha
Wisconsin faculty last Mon
day. The proposal permits
any student who has senior
standing or is 21 to live in
an apartment.
In the past the housing
shortage in the campus area
prompted the university to
reserve the available apart
ments largely for married
and graduate students.
The wording in the new
regulation seems to imply
that all age or class restric
tions on apartment living are
"unusual" moves to cope
with the shortage, but under
"normal" conditions, there
would be no such restrictions.
