By Bruce Giles
Junior Staff Writer
The University Theatre has
been forced to change "Pante-
gleize," one of the two plays
scheduled for production dur
ing the second half of the
Theatre's repertory season,
to "The Blood Knot."
Dr. William Morgan, asso
ciate professor of speech and
dramatic art and director of
the University Theatre, cited
lack of rehearsal space as the
reason for the change.
Tryouts for both "Mother
Courage" and "The Blood
Knot" will begin Monday and
run through Wednesday.
There will be two sessions
each day, one from 3:30 to
5:30 and one from 7 to 10.
Held in the Howell Theatre,
tryouts are open to all Uni
versity students.
The cast for Brecht's "Moth
er Courage" consists of four
women and 14 men. Six of the
characters also sing: Mother
Courage, the Cook, chaplain,
Eilif, Swiss Cheese and
Yvette. Eilif also performs a
sabre dance in the play.

'Lola' Forum
Discusses
'New Wave'
The Nebraska Union Film
Society held its first Film
Forum following the Dec. 1
showing of the French film
"Lola."
The forum included a dis
cussion of other films shown
by the society this year, the
"New Wave" in European
film direction, and the use of
color in foreign movies.
European directors follow
ing the "New Wave" no long
er place such emphasis on
lhe plot, story and action of a
movie, Steven Milliard of the
English department said in
leading the discussion. H i 1
Hard said the directors feel
that the lasting value in a
film "is not the story, but the
scenes themselves."
This is why the French like
American gangster movies
from the '30's, he said. They
see the separate scenes as
excellent expressions of the
mood prevalent in America
at that time.
What audiences often re
member years after seeing a
film is not its philosophical
meaning, he said, but short
vivid scenes that captured an
emotion.
Although Jacques Demy,
director of "Lola," is in many
ways considered a- traditional
rather than New Wave di
rector, many critics feel he
has done an "extremely ef
fective job of capturing
moods," according to H i 1 1 i
ard. French movie-goers enjoy
"quotations" in their films,
he said. Scenes or actions of
ten echo reflections of p a s t
movies.
Members of the group
pointed out that this is also
being done in some American
films. Hilliard cited "What's
New Pussycat?" as an exam
ple.
"In France," he said, "they j
do it so subtlely that no one
knows it's going on except
other Frenchmen." j
Other films under discus
sion included "Woman of the
Dunes', "Black Orpheus,"
and the Russian film "Nine
Days of One Year."
This film, like the Japanese
"Women of the Dunes," may
be considered a "photography
picture rather than a plot pic
ture," Hilliard said.
One member of the group
felt this movie, like many
Japanese films, tended to:
"drag out" "A half an hour
could have been cut without!
losing anything," she said.1
The Japanese, Hilliard said,
tend to fill time with "pho-l
tography for its own sake." I
man of the local chapter
of volunteers, said, "Every

All in all it was a big suc

and varied reasons.

Thompson Urges
Close Interaction
With Community ...
By Bruce Giles
Junior Staff Writer
Close interaction between
the community in general
and the University as a
whole was cited Thursday
as a needed development by
professor of nuclear engi
neering at the Massa
chusetts Institute of Tech
nology. Speaking at the luncheon
dedication ceremonies of the
new $1.25 million B e h 1 e n
Laboratory of Physics, Dr.
Thompson said, "Here in
Lincoln the interaction be
tween the University and in
dustry should be very close
and I am sure jt is becom
ing closer each day."
He noted that "in my day,
it was a rare professor who
had any contact with indus
try. These days, quite the
opposite is true. It is im
portant that University pro
fessors be given the oppor
tunity and the chance to
interact with industry and
to aid industry and the com
munity in the development
of its science and techno
logy." As an example, Thompson
cited the interaction of MIT
and Harvard with the Bos
Jon area saying, "an entire
circular route around Bos
ton. Route 128, is lined now
with corporations, most of
which had their origin or are
closely attached to some
parts of the academic com
munity at MIT and Har
vard." "Good research requires
first a good idea or keen ob
servation, followed by in
telligence and perseverence
in its development, and only
last is appropriate funding
a requirement," the 1940
gave. I just hope it gets to
Viet Nam. It's the cheapest
donation you could come
across and yet it's some
thing money can't buy. It's
an easy way to help other
people and to save lives."
"If it doesn't get to Viet
Nam, I know the blood will
go to some emergency,"
said Jim Winney, "so I de
cided to give."
George Kay said, "I think
the bloodmobile is an excel
lent answer to the Students
for a Democratic Society
and the way student dem
onstrators have been hitting
the papers."
Chuck Churchill added,
"All anyone in Nebraska
hears about is the SDS, and
it hasn't created a favor
able impression."
Chance To Help
"Students don't have too
nuch of a chance to help,"
Grant Peterson said. This
Is the thing to do; give

According to Miss Miriam
Chipperfield of the Omaha
Red Cross chapter, the blood
will go to the Department
of Defense which will de

"Nebraska is the first Uni
versity in the area to have
a drive for defense. Drake
University in Iowa will be
next," she said.
Funny Feeling
Some of the students par
ticipating in the bloodmobile
said they "had the funniest
feeling." Teri Krumme said,
"I was wondering if I was
going to get sick again.
I've given before, though,
because I have a rare type."
Another said, "We kept
joking that there should be
television sets on the ceil
ing." "There wasn't much faint
ing," Anne McGaugh said.
"In the two hours I've work
ed here, only six have faint
ed and that was just be
cause they thought they felt
all right and sot up to leave
too soon."
The bloodmobile itself

The main complaint ex
pressed by dissatisfied stu
dents was that they unknow
ingly registered for courses
that have conflicting times
because the second semester
schedule was not available
when preliminary registration
was completed.
One student noted that the
registration procedure has
advantages for the adminis
tration in helping with fore
casts of class loads, but not
for students.
He said half of the classes
he registered for will not be
offered because of lack of in
terest. "Maybe it will h e 1 p
them (the administration but
it doesn't help us students,"
he said.
Another student said, "It
seems we have to go through
so much to change courses."
He added, "It's not a very
good system (registration pro
cedure)." Clink Directs
Food Service
For Abel Hall
Abel Hall has finally found
a new food service director.
He is Joe Clink, a gradu
ate of Oklahoma State Uni
versity of Restaurant man
agement and former director
of food service at Kansas
University.
Clink assumed his post
Wednesday as head ct Abel
Hall's cafeteria and kitchen,
relieving Mrs. Hattie Rogers
of her administrative duties
there.
Mrs. Rogers is now food
production manager for Abel.
She had been working on both
jobs since the food director
that had been hired for the
year left his position before
school began.
"Mrs. Rogers did an out
standing job under the cir
cumstances," Clink said.
"We'll just be doing some
minor things smoothing out
what we have now."
Clink was formerly with
Slater Food Service, a cater
ing firm which contracts with
universities to provide food
for residence halls.
Abel Hall was plagued with
a labor shortage earlier this
year, but the problem is
solved, according to Clink.
"The solution is to get the
employees scheduled in the
proper time and in the proper
duties," Clink said. "In this
way we hope to have them
working more efficiently."

President Cassia WU4
A coed said, "I can't get
either the courses I asked for
or the alternatives. I think a
lot of students will have to go
through drop-and-add. It was
a good idea, but they've mess
ed it up this time."
"It's a mess!" declared an
other coed, "Try fitting an
English class into the middle
of a photo lab. If I had only
known about the conflictti
would have signed up for an
other course."
One student said she had
four different class conflicts
to straighten out. Another
student called the prelimin
ary registration "disappoint
ing, you didn't know times
and who was teaching what
courses."
Responses of students who
said registration was working
out for them varied from
praise for the system to in
difference to the plan.
"I think it's very smooth,"
a coed said. "It seems to be
working out for me and for
all those I know," another stu
dent said.
"I'm all through!" one stu
dent reported jubilantly. "It's
a good deal," another said.
When questioned about his
opinions of the registraXtCH
procedure, a student said,:
don't care."
Faculty advisers who were
interviewed said that it islloo
early to predict whether there
would be a substantial num
ber of problems arising. Neal
Copple. associate professor of
journalism, said, "I haven't
had too much reaction, I can't
complain so far. "I appreci
ate the early registration," he
added.
A freshman student said he
had a problem with his sched
ule, but didn't know what he
was going to do about it. He
said, "I'll see my adviser if
I can ever find him."
Tow-In Replaces
Warning Tickets
There may be a mass, tow

don't heed private parking
signs at Missouri-Pacific Railr
road lot on 9th Street between

Robert Nicely, special agent
for the railroad, set a "tenta

warning tickets will cease and
tow-in will begin.
Nicely said the company
was reluctant to take the ac

marked as private parking.
He said students apparently
think the lot is a University

Nicely said he put warning
tickets on 63 illegally parked
cars Wednesday morning and
