'Things Are Really Going to Hum9 For Active Nebraska All-Staters By Aneeta Spelts When Booth Tarkington's novel Seventeen was made into a musical on Broad way in the twenties, one of the top hits ran "Things are gonna hum this summer, things are really gonna hum." The tune could well be the motto of All-State, for it's been humming since 1932 on the University of Nebraska campus. Registration for the three week program was June 13, when 350 high school students enrolled to study art, journalism, music and speech. For the first time, the All-Staters are sharing one residence hall; past All Staters have lived in soror ity and fraternity houses, Women's Residence, and Selleck Quadrangle. The housing situation is amusing in itself, since Abel Hall is a men's dormitory during the school term. All State officials came up with a solution, however, by as signing the top four floors to girls and the first floor to boys. The Cornhusker Basketball Clinic is also living in the "bottom half" of Abel. "I could write a book on all the funny things that happened," said counselor Ann Kozak of Lincoln. "But one that I'll never forget is the first day the girls came. Most of them brought fitted sheets for the beds. They got so frustrated trying to put them on everybody's sheet was too small. We finally decided that the mattresses in the men's dorm are about a foot longer than the others." Clocks Needed "The worst part of being a counselor is getting them out of bed," commented Bob Olmstead who is five feet six inches. "And if anyone puts up a fight well, I'm littler than they are!" Both counselors are former All-Staters. Whoever gets whom out of bed each morning does a commendable job, as the All-Staters are "up and around" when the sleepy campus starts humming. By 8:30 each morning, feet are tapping to the rhythm of toe All-State Band. The 129 piece band is illuminated by shiny sou saphones in the back row, and balanced by 23 flute players in the front Orchestra and chorus also rehearse twice each day in the new music building. The unusually rainy sum- Man's Achievements in Outer Space Are Outlined by Astronaut Fred Haise By David D. Holtz MJ School of Journalism Spectators at the first Uni versity of Nebraska World. News and Views program of Summer Sessions glimpsed the wonders of man's achieve ment in outer space. Astronaut-in-training Fred W. Haise, Jr., narrated film clips of U.S. space endeavors to date and lectured about the projected moon landing be fore 1970 under Project Apollo. Haise told a near capacity audience Wednesday after noon at Love Memorial Li brary that "for the first time In history, mu can leave this earth and travel In space. We are entering into an exciting time in the history of man on earth." An honor graduate from the University of Oklahoma and outstanding graduate in 1964 from Aerospace Research Pi lot School, Haise was a re search pilot for NASA at Ed wards, Calif., and Cleveland before coming to Houston. He has prepared a number of pa pers relating to aviation. Goals Accomplished Summarizing activities at the close of Project Gemini, Haise said a little over 1,900 hours had been logged in space during 10 flights, and all Gemini goals were accom plished at the transition into Project Apollo. Hardware is now being pre pared for the moon flight. The All-State chorus under the direction of Raymond Miller, final concert to be presented Friday, June 30. mer hasn't dampened the spirits of the chorus; one of their pieces begins "I've got me ten fine toes to wiggle in the sun!" Final All-State concerts by the music students are as follows: Orchestra and Ensemble, June 27; Chorus Concert, June 28, Band Concert, June 29: Centen nial Concert, "Salute to Willa Cather," June 30; and Final Concert, July 1. All performances are in Ne braska Union, except the Centennial and Final Con certs to be held in Pershing Auditorium. Concert time is S p.m. At the same time music is spilling from rehearsal rooms, speech students translate the do-re-mi's into the spoken word. Six facul ty members instruct classes in speech, debate and tech nical theatre. Classes Required In addition to the lab work, each of these 68 All Staters is required to at tend "Oral Interpretation in Literature" or "Public Speaking." An atmosphere of excite ment in Temple Building prompts even a visitor to pause and investigate where the action is. He will find students contructing flats for their stage produc tion, planning debate strat egy and listening to the di rector explain how a dope victim should fall to the ground. The experience of work Haise said the projectile, slightly longer than a football field, will be propelled by five engines generating a total 6,400,000 lbs. of thrust To chart the flight path and maintain constant communi cations, two new tracking sta tions are being constructed at Madrid and Australia. Project Apollo calls for three men to go to the moon. Haise said that when the ser vice module Las been jetti soned and the command module-lunar module combina tion attains a lunar orbit, two astronauts will crawl through a tunnel connecting the com mand module to the lunar ex ploration .module LEM) and then detach the LEM for de scent to the moon's surface.

"We consider the speech division an enrichment pro gram at All-State, and our students are selected from the number who applied," explained Dr. John Thur ber, All-State Speech Chair man. Drama productions are: "No Trifling With Love," Howe Theatre, June 28, 7:30 p.m.; Evening of One Acts, Temple 201, June 29, 7:30 p.m.; "A Song for All Saints," Temple 303, July 1, 8 p.m. Free tickets may be obtained in the Theatre Ticket Office. Admission is by ticket only. The final de bate will be July 1, 10:30 a.m.. Nebraska Union. Experience Needed Unlike the speech stu dents, many of those en rolled in the art program have not had art training in their respective high schools. Of the ten students in one watercolor section. only two had art classes at home. "As you can see," re marked Professor Gail Butt, "Nebraska is behind in it's total art education." Individual and personal ized instruction is charac teristic in the Nellie Coch rane Woods Building where 34 All-Staters are instructed by eight faculty. 'The students rotate to six classes: drawing, design, painting, printmaking, orite protection suit that pro vides a basic two-and-one-half hour air supply without re plenishing. The team will occupy the moon for 18-33 hours, per forming predetermined tasks before lift-off and rendezvous with the third astronaut in the orbiting command module for return to earth. In addition to his appear ance at Love Library, Haise appeared before the Univer sity Research Council mem bers, University administra tors, the Aerospace Seminar workshop and was inter viewed for radio, television and newspapers. Twenty thousand companies are involved in making one space vehicle, Haise reported to these groups. Every part has to work and each part is a system in itself. The com pany may not know what the part it is making will be used for, they just know it has to be perfect, he said. "I'm afraid I will only be able to fly a limited number of two or three flights into space. There is much training before each trip and an unbe lievable amount of follow-up. Presently all astronauts have only been up twice," Haise re ported. There are 46 astronauts-in-training now and the waiting list of those who would like to participate is long, Haise commented. assistant professor of voice at the sculpture and watercolor. A new lecture course, art history, was added to the required daily curriculum. This week, students will make and experiment with colored transparent slides, which will be projected on a still life setting. The col ors, which appear to give different dimensions to the setting, will be incorporated into the painting. "Rather than emphasize the finished product, we try to feed the art students creative ideas," Butt said. Serving as public rela tions agents for three weeks are the "J-Students" who have been a part of All State for five years. Their work includes the mechan ics of setting type for head lines and f-stops for photo graphy assignments. Supplementary Speakers Their beats have taken them to all parts of the campus, interviewing fellow students and then racing back to beat the deadline. Guest speakers in the eve nings supplemented the courses. After exchanging Ideas from high school newspa pers and yearbooks, and working with the available material, staff members have produced two issues of the newspaper, the All Stater, and a yearbook, "The Reflector." What's ahead for the All-State program? "It con cerns me about the future of the program. And you can quote me on that," stated Director John Moran in his twelfth year as chief coordinator. "There has been a trend for people with talent to come, which is fine. But now it's getting to be people with talent and money." Moran refers to the re cent hike In tuition which is at an all-time high of $143 this summer ap proximately a 30 per cent Willa Catlier's Poems Set to Music in Concert University of Nebraska's All-State Centennial Concert will feature several poems by Willa Cather set to music by Robert Beadell Friday, June 30 at 8 p.m. in Pershing Audi torium. The special concert, a "Sa lute to Willa Cather," will feature several soloists with the Centennial Chorus under the direction of John Moran, and the Centennial Orchestra under the direction of David Fowler, both members of the University music faculty. Cather's poems, with music by Robert Beadell, member of the University music de partment, include "Spanish Johnny" and "Prairie Spring." Baritone soloist for "Spanish Johnny" will be John Simon of Auburn. The concert program: "Largo" by Dvorak; "I Want Yer Ma Honey" arranged by Beadell with Mark Zalkin of Omaha, tenor soloist; "Dying University; prepares for the increase from the $100 in 1964. "We have only one pur pose and that is to extend the talents of university faculty across the state to deserving students. But if we keep increasing our tui tion, we are cutting out a good portion of people who want to come but simply cannot afford it," Moran continued. Letters Plead "I wish you could have seen the number of letters on my desk pleading for scholarships and financial aid. I don't know the solu tion to theroblem, but I do know we must find some way to keep up the quality of our program without a constant, increase in the student's costs," he said. The job of the All-State director is a year-round one and involves many person nel. Assisting Moran, mu sic director, in the planning are representatives of the divisions offered. They are Dr. John Thurber, speech; Professor Gail Butt, art; and Assistant Professor James Morrison, journa lism. The most carefully exe cuted operation has its quirks even in the adminis trative division. Last year 7,000 brochures for All State were ready to be mailed, and the post office returned them. "They needed zip codes," Morau laughed. The session winds up on Friday, but students are already beginning to re flect on their past three weeks of university life. "I don't want to go home!" said Sue Charleton of Valentine. "There's nothing to do!". But until then, before 350 weary and enthusiastic All Staters pack their suit cases, "things are really gonna hum."
