'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.

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,

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.

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."

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."
