Students
Can Write,
Act Plays
EDITOR'S NOTE: This
is the first of a series of
articles dealing with the op
portunities offered by t h e
University for students in
fields other than their
majors.
Students interested in dra
matics, playwriting, or any
other facet of stage produc
tion may take part in the
University Stage productions,
even if they are not speech
majors.
Dr. William Morgan, asso
ciate professor of speech and
dramatic arts, said that there
is a myth on campus that the
programs presented by the
speech department are re
stricted to speech majors.
The major program spon
sored through the department
is University Theater. The
casting is open to all students
as are the stage, costume,
and other crews. Dr. Morgan
said that he was disappointed
in the student reaction to this
program. There are more peo
ple from outstate then there
are students who attend the
program.
Dr. Donald Olson, director
of debate said that all per
sons interested in debate
should see him or Dr. Petelle
in Temple. In order to take
part in debate a student does
not need to be a speech major,
nor does he have to be in a
debate class.
Another feature is the Lab
Theater productions which
are directed by the beginning
directing students who pre
sent 20 one-act plays that the
entire student body can take
part in.
The Experimental Theater
uses plays that are written
by students and faculty, and
are produced, directed, and
acted in by the students.
These opportunities are op
en for all students who are
interested in the stage, want
to see how creative they are,
or who just want to learn
about the stage. These oppor
tunities are advertised in the
Daily Nebraskan, and on bul
letin boards around campus.
Advanced students cast
long plays which students can
I articipate in during the sum
mer and are produced
throughout the state for civic
groups.
During the summer an All
State Fine Arts Festival is
held in which high school stu
dents come to the University
to put on plays with the help
of the students.
The University Masquers,
the University chapter of the
National Collegiate Players,
takes tours and gives plays,
speeches, and programs
throughout the state. Mem
bers are chosen for this group
from the students who work
in these programs.
Another program open to
all students is Kosmet Club
(KK). In the fall Kosmet
Klub presents an all male
Fall Revue featuring skits
and travellers acts selected
from auditions.
In the spring, KK produces
a Broadway musical with a
cast of University students
selected through auditions.
Associated Women Students
produces Coed Follies in the
winter. This is open to all
women. Skits and travellers
acts are presented.
Nebroskan -Wednesday,
Varsity Christian Fellowship
"All the first faculty mem
bers were clergymen because
there was generally no way to
pursue study but with relig
gious e m p h a s i s," Manley
said.
The first chancellor, Alan
Benton, was a minister of the
Christian Church. Benton in
sisted on a close moral con
trol and worked to establish
the first dormitory so the
faculty could watch the stu
dents and the students could
study scripture with media
tion and fellowship.
This concern with keeping
close moral control reflected
the 1870's society belief that
University life was a "hotbed
of infidelity," as expressed in
1922 by an Ashland minister.
By the mid 1870's, the re
ligious groups established
themselves, according to Man
ly. One group, the Broad
Gagers were composed pri
marily of Unitarians. The oth
er group, the Narrow Gagers
had among its followers
Baptists, Methodists, and
Presbyterians.
''
Manley said, "The student
life of University students in
the 1870's reflected the socie
ty in which the students were
raised." The students didn't
rebel to daily chapel. In
stead in 1879 a petition was
brought forward by the stu
dents to the chancellor which
reprimanded the faculty
members for skipping chap
el. Both the YWCA and the
YMCA were important organ
izations, Manley said. Both
groups had rooms in Univer
sity Hall. The girls held noon
prayer meetings and the men
had Sunday afternoon Bible
study. It is significant, ac
cording to Manley, that in
1885 twelve University stu
dents pledged their lives to
missionary work.
In the 1880's another east
ern tradition was brought and
transplanted on the Nebraska
plains. The athletic program
was started with the argu-l

Foreign Service Officer Discusses
Opportunity In Diplomatic Careers
Sharon Erdkamp, a Foreign
Service officer, will be on
campus Oct. 12 to meet with
the faculty and student body
to discuss current informa
tion concerning careers in the
Foreign Service of the United
States.
Foreign Service officers
are diplomats specially se
lected and trained to assist
the secretary of state in pre
paring policy recommenda
tions to the president of the
United States and carry into
action the foreign policy de
cisions of the President. The
officers aid U.S. citizens
abroad, assist United States
business in international com
merce and negotiate treaties
and agreements on many sub
jects with representatives of
other countries.
The next annual Foreign
Service Officer written exam
ination will be held Dec.
5. Candidates for the one day
examination must be at least
21 and under 31 years of age
at the time of the examina
tion. Those 20 years of age
may apply if they have com
pleted their junior year. All
candidates must have been
citizens of the U.S. for at least
seven and one half years at
the time of the examination.

Harvard and Yale. "Soon
complaints and gasps were
heard that a certain Professor
Woodberry was inviting stu
dents to his hotel room for
schnaps," Manley said.
Changes had begun. In
1893 daily chapel was put on
a voluntary basis. "But the
turn of the century the Uni
versity was described as the
domicile of the godless," Man
ley said.
A great deal of the criti
cism toward the University
was due to public reaction
against the fraternities, ac
cording to Manley. Yet in the
early 1900's seven of the elev
en fraternities held weekly
Christian study groups.
In 1906 there were 700 or
800 students. "Sixty percent of
the faculty in 1906 were
church members and about
two-thirds of the freshmen
were church members," Man-
ley said.
From 1906-08 a student gos
pel team composed of six men
traveled from camp meeting
to meeting to encourage the
youth of the state to remain
true to their beliefs, Manley
said.
In 1910 there was a great
impact on the University with
the coming of highly trained
specialists from Harvard and
Yale who had no empathy
with Nebraska.
Students were confronted
with brilliant, young profes
sors who disbelieved in God
who delighted in showing
that Genesis was all wrong.
"Though these young profes
sors did not give anything to
replace the belief in -God, they
caused doubts. From 1920 on
there was a decided decline
in religion," Manley said.
Thus the English professor in
the 1920's was able to teach
atheism in his classroom with
out anything said.
big labor, the only alterna
tives are federal government
action or action by an organ
ization such as the National
Farmers Organization (NFO).
Either method involves effec
tive production controls or
market controls.
Peterson does believe that
farmer's organizations and co
operatives have a future. With
declining political power of
farmers, agricultural pro
grams of the future may be
tailored more for consumers
than farmers. This could be a
decisive factor promoting the
growth of national coopera
tives. "Even though national or
ganization does have possibil
ities," Peterson said, "the
number and diversity of farms
may pose many obstacles to
effective organization."
