Transfer
To Legislature
A bill which would permit the University to take over
junior college facilities by gift, purchase or rental was ad
vanced to the floor of the Legislature Monday by its Educa
tion Committee.
The measure LB9, sponsored by Sen. Terry Carpenter of
Scottsbluff, won 6-0 approval.
The bill would provide that transfers would have to be
approved by the governing body of the junior college involved
and the University Board of Regents.
Junior colleges involved are
located at Scottsbluff, Mc
Cook, Fairbury and Norfolk.
Also advanced was a LB418,
which would permit junior
college boards to levy a two
mill tax without a vote of the
people to construct buildings
and acquire sites.
Another bill proposed by
Carpenter won unanimous ap
proval. It provides that junior
college presidents need not
necessarily be t h e superin
tendents of the school dis
tricts which comprise the col
1 e g e districts and permits
junior colleges to accept gifts
and grants from other govern
mental subdivisions.
Killed at Carpenter's re
quest was a bill prescribing
uniform tuition rates and fees
ior institutions of higher
learning.
Carpenter said LB9 would
provide permissive authority
for the University to establish
two-year branches at existing
junior colleges.
This, he said, would help
alleviate over-crowding at the
University campus in Lincoln,
give added status to the junior
colleges and have the practi
cal effect of giving the Uni
versity more power within the
legislature.
The University does not
have sufficient strength in the
Legislature to acquire all that
it needs, Carpenter said.
With the junior colleges, he
said, the University could
support from "four to 10 addi

tional senators who would be
more concerned about the
University."
Some students could be re
quired to take their first two
years of higher education at
the junior colleges, Carpenter
said, and the University could
become "more of a school of
specialization."

'Molly' Proceeds
Under Full Steam
Monday night practice began on this year's Kosmet
Klub Spring Show, The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
The planning for the show started early last summer
when Jim Rader, Spring Show Chairman, began reading
scripts.
Last year, "Molly" was considered, but its 24 scenes
and 15 set changes presented a technical problem that
seemed too hard to resolve. After Rader had narrowed
the field, KK voted and unanimously chose Molly Brown.
Rader said that it's comedy, beautiful scenery and fam
ily appeal made it KK's choice.
Mrs. Lou Ha'J will be the show director for the pro
duction. She directed the KK Fall Revue and has for four
years directed the Junior Theatre of the Lincoln Play
house. Previously she was associated with the Lubbock
Little Theatre in Lubbock, Texas, and the theatre in Iowa
City.
She felt that one of the best things about Molly Brown
Is its Midwestern setting that few Broadway shows have.
Mrs. Hall was impressed with the great possibilities in
the show, due to the character depth of Molly and the
impressive sets that Mr. Chuck Howard is preparing.
Among them are a cabin in the Rockies and the grand
staircase in the Brown Palace.
Musical director Terry Boyes has also worked with
KK before. Four years ago he was the musical director
for "Damn Yankees". Currently he is University High
music director and art director of All-State High School
Fine Arts Course.
Mr. Boyes said Molly Brown is in the good tradition
of "Music Man" and even more spirited.
Molly will be played by Pat Patterson, Fairmont sen
ior, who has been in the University production of Music
Man, Hamlet, Wake of the Porpoise, and Three Sisters.
Stan Schlachter. Teachers College junior, will play Johnny.
Before transferring to the University, he was a. member
of the Augustana College touring choir.
For the first time in recent years, the show will be
given on two nights. According to Rader it will also be
the most lavish show KK has ever done.
KK president Terry Vogt said, "KK hopes to provide
the best show possible for the University and Lincoln com
munity. We feel this year is the right time to put on a
show of this caliber.
"The Klub has been unable until recent years to stage
such a musical, but with increased support and growth in
the size of the Klub we now can. We feel this year will
be more successful than ever before."
Forward-Looking Students
Seek Placement Office Aid
Room 340 in the Union may
well be one of the most im
portant offices on campus for
the student who is looking
ahead.
It is here, under the direc
tion of Frank Hallgren, that
the career-minded student is
brought to the doorstep of his
future vocation.
The Placement Office is the
converging depot for literally
hundreds of employers seek
ing men to fill their vacan
cies. Openings in fields rang
ing from aerospace to home
economics are channelled
through the Placement Office.
Hallgren stated that some
80 of the college graduates
in the employment market
found assistance through a
placement office. He said that
of the 65 graduates from the
College of Engineering at
midterm, 37 went directly
into employment and that all
or nearly all were assisted
through his office.
Hallgren said that his office
was concerned with all post
graduate plans of University
Study, Travel Offered
In Summer Course
Travel & Study, Inc. of
New York City announces an
agreement reached with So
viet organizations for cultur
al exchange for a Russian
language course, intermedi
ate and advanced, to be giv
en this summer at Moscow
State University.
The course, especially de
signed for American students
and teachers who have com
pleted at least one year of
college Russian, will be
taught by regular faculty
members of M.S.U. The three
weeks study in Moscow will
be supplemented by 2 weeks
touring various Soviet Repub
lics, and 3 weeks of visits and
study in Poland, Czechoslova
kia, Austria and France.
A Study Travel Seminar to
the Balkans, East and West
Europe and the Soviet Union
will also be operated by Trav
el & Study, Inc. It includes
students. Graduates from all
colleges with the exception of
Teachers College which is
handled by Mr. Meierhenry,
operate through the Place
ment Office.
He said that the College of
Arts and Sciences has the
smallest percentage of its
graduates working through his
office because many enter in
to private professions.
The Placement Office also
assists undergraduates who
are seeking summer employ
ment which will give them
experience in their future vo
cation. Hallgren stated that
there were some jobs in
which related experience is
necessary prior to applica
tion. He said that many jobs
dealing with the federal gov
ernment were of this type.
The office does not deal with
many strictly part-time jobs
unless they are related to fu
ture vocations.
Part-time employment with
banks, insurance companies
and government are often
placed through the office.

SNCC Collects Funds
For Gulfport Project
Contributions for the civil
rights movement will be ac
cepted at Dollar Days at a
booth in the Student Union,
Mar. 15-17. sponsored by the
University Friends of SNCC.
The contributions will go to
the Gulfport Project, a proj
ect of the Council of Feder
ated Organizations (COFO).
The major work of the proj
ect is in North Gulfport, Mis
sissippi, where its main task
is organizing the Negro popu
lace for political action. This
includes voter r e g i s t r a -tion
work going from house
to house urging people to go
to the courthouse and regis
ter. It further includes teaching
people the contents of t h e
Mississippi Constitution so
they can pass the stiff voter
registration exam. It includes
finding people mho are will
ing to take responsibility for
other people registering; they
become "block captains" who
organize small areas around
them.
The project has been able
to get three churches to take
responsibility for voter regis
tration classes and hopes to
get more, according to a na
tional SNCC publication.
The Friends of SNCC group
at the University is interested
in getting people in houses:
and residence halls to become

Peace Corps
Aptitude Test
To Be Given
An opportunity for Nebras
ka area residents to test their
aptitudes for Peace Corps
service will come at 8:30 a.m.
Saturday, March 13, at room
200 of the Post Office, 129 N.
10th.
The Peace Corps Place
ment Test indicates where an
applicant's greatest potential
lies. The Peace Corps ques
tionnaire, which must be fill
ed out and brought to the ex
am unless previously submit
ted, tells what an applicant
has done in the past.
But the placement test is
aimed at showing what he or
she can do in the future. Ap
plicants do not have to regis
ter for the test ahead of time.
The Peace Corps Question
naire can be obtained at all
Post Offices.
There are two parts to the
Peace Corps Placement Test:
a general aptitude test and a
modern language aptitude
test (for which knowledge of
a foreign language is not nec
essary). Applicants should
plan on about one and a half
hours at the testing center,
unless they wish to take the
Spanish or French language
achievement test, which re
quires an additional hour.
Test results are used, with
the character references and
questionnaires, to estimate
the applicant's potential for
completing the inten
sive training program and his
ability to be an effective vol
unteer overseas.
