Author Cela
Will Speak
Here Today
A noted Spanish novelist,
Camilo Jose Cela will present
a public lecture on "Spain,
the Spaniards and the Spanish
Essense," at 7:30 p.m. today
in the Sheldon Art Gallery.
Students who have won the
Latin American Literary
Prize offered by the American
GI Forum and the department
of romance languages at the
University will be announced
during the program.
Cela has authored two nov
els which have been success
ful in the U.S. He has pub
lished many books of poetry,
essays, short stories and an
able series of travel books.
His first novel. "La Fam
ilia de Pascual Duarte" was
an immediate success and
was widely translated abroad.
Another novel, "La Colmena
offers a depressing picture of
life in Madrid after the Civil
War.
In 1956, he founded the
"Papeles de Son Armadans,"
a literary periodical which he
edits at his home in Palma
de Mallorca, Spain. The pub
lication is the most repected
literary review in Spain prob
ably because of its complete
independence from state or
any other domination or in
fluence. It is the main organ
for publication of the works
of young writers in Spain.
Modern Comedy
World Conscience
Claims Klarmann
"Modern comedy has a
duty as conscience of our
world," according to Dr.
Adolf Klarmann, University
of Pennsylvania German
scholar who spoke in the
Union Tuesday.
Klarmann portrayed the
view of playwight Durren-
matt who believes the trage
dies cf Sheakespeare's time
cannot protray the contem
porary world. Durrenmatt
says we live in a non-heroic
.age whereas in Shakespeare's
time faith in the heroes of
tragedy could be accomplish
ed. "Durrenmatt said that on
ly the grotesque of comedy
coi bring out the paradox in
the present day. Only comedy
can bring out the tragedy in
our problems," Klarmann
said.
Klarmann traced the ori
gins of the modern stage
"where the playwright does
not care whether he defines
his play as tragedy or com
edy." He noted playwrights
Strindberg, Wilder and Eliot
and others who provided the
promotion of the abstract
stage where music and mov
ing sets invaded the conser
vative stage. He said that
Strindberg's "Dream Play"
especially initiated the "full
autonomy of the stage where
tragedy and comedy are
blended." i

Elvin Frolik, dean of t h e
College of Agriculture and
Home Economics, said he
would have to "leave it up to
the legislature" as to whether
or n o t agresearch funds
should be transferred to the
University from the State
Agriculture Department
The question arose when
Clare Porter, a former col-
lege of Agriculture faculty
member, suggested the
change in a letter written to
Governor Frank Morrison
Porter, who said he "was not
pleased with the minor role
the University was assigned
in conducting this research,
asked the Governor to
answer several questions con
cerning the administration of
the research program.
Frolik said the University
has attempted to get mere
funds from agricultural re
search from the state's gen
eral fund. Frolik said state
taxes supply most of the
money used in research, with
the rest coming from federal
funds and private grants.
With more money, the Uni
versity could have a bigger
research program and hire
more people, although, said
Frolik, "we have an excellent
research program with the
money we have."
The University would like
to have more money, he
added.
Porter, who said that only
22 per cent of the $1,488,300
allocated for agriculture re
search was spent at the Uni
versity, said that research
projects carried on outside
Nebraska "have very little
potential as far as the welfare
of Nebraska agriculture if
concerned."
The bill, LB722, does not
prohibit spending money out
side the state. Ia regard to
authority of the Department
of Agriculture over the fund,
the bill says, "the depart
ment shall have power and
authority within the limits of
the funds available to it, to
coordinate and expedite activi
ties toward research with' the
University of Nebraska Col
lege of Agnculture."
Porter, now executive-manager
of the NC Hybrids Co.,
asked in his letter why the
Department of Agriculture
hasn't worked more closely
with the University as speci
fied under the law.
Governor Morrison said a
meeting would be arranged
between Porter and State
Agriculture Director i'earle
Finigan, to determine if there
is merit in Porter's Idea.
Porter said no money from
the state funds will be made
available to the University
beginning July L He asked in
his letter that the Nebraska
Unicameral reconsider LB 722
funds, and give serious con
sideration to placing the ad
ministration of the funds with
the College of Agriculture.
The Agricultural Products
Research Fund (LB722) was
established by the 1959 Legis
lature, and was extended to

1968 by the 1963 Legislature
under LB795.
During the 1963 debate, al
proposal that the funds be ad
ministered bv the University
was defeated 24-1.
A 1961 law authorized that
royalties collected from
patents on products developed
in the state go back into the
research fund, but no royal
ties have yet come in.

The oldest and most tradi
tional day of the college year
is again near at hand. Ivy
Day, which still holds its
mystery and suspense, is one
of the highlights of the year.
Begun in 1889, it has grown
throughout the years into one
of the largest of all student
programs of the year.
Beginning with the planting
of Ivy as the main event in
1889, many other events were
added throughtout the years.
In 1904 the Maypole dance
was added, and then in 1905
the revealing of new mem
bers to Innocents and Mor
tar Board was added. 1910
and 1912 saw the addition of
the daisy chains and May
Queen and her court
In 1923 Kosmet Klub enter
ed the Ivy scene with its
men's sing which was follow
ed in 1927 by the Associated
Women Student's sing.
Tackling of Innoccents and
tapping of new Mortar Board
holds the position of main
event in today's Ivy festivi-i
ties. Juniors are holding their
breaths this week while Mor

will be the next year mem
bers. By nature these two
societies are the most sought
after and distinguished hon
ors on campus. Their past
activities and contributions to
the University make them
well-deserving of this distinc
tion. '
Innocents and Mortar
Board hold high esteem in the
eyes of the administration.
Chancellor Clifford Hardin
said, "The Mortar Board and
Innocents are important
sources of leadership for the
student body at the University
of Nebraska." Associate Dean
of Student Affairs Helen Sny
der added her praise by say
ing, "Mortar Board is def
initely a positive influence at
the University of Nebraska."
