Friday, March 8, 1968 The Daily Nebraskan Page 3 Informed voters' show unfamiliarity with NSA . . . after Senate approval by Susie Jenkins Junior Sta Writer "What's NSA?" seems to be the majority response from University students con cerning the Student Senate's recent move to affiiiato with the National Student Associa tion (NSA). In a series of ii-im-vipwa the majority of students polled were not onlv unfamil iar with the organization, but uiey could not name a stu dent senator from their col lege. These senators voted unanimously Wednesday to place before the "informed voters" the question of affilia tion with NSA. After an explanation of ser vices and functions of NSA, one Lincoln coed said she guessed "it (affiliation) would be allright." Another Lincoln student said he had no idea and could care less. A sophomore in elementary education said that any group that supports Black Power is -;n..i-... o u - r..ji,. uuxv,uiuua. ullc luiulcr stated that Black Power is an antagonistic idea that just alienates everybody. "Groups sponsored by stu dents should ignore that movement," she said. This comment was in Ref erence to a resolution passed by the NSA National conven tion. The resolution was sent to NSA member schools,and was subsequently voted down. A junior in pre-Med said he really did not have much of an opinion i "I'm kind of against it. I've heard that in the past it wasn't a reputable organi zation, and if they haven't changed, it isn't worth it," he said. One freshman thought that affiliation would be a "good deal" since NSA is no longer connected with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). "The CIA is out to corrupt the United States," he said. Another student thought that NSA is a Communist front organization. A junior from Omaha thought that some parts of the program were fine, but that caution should be used in deciding to affiliate. "I have some doubts about giving students full respon sibilities for their non-academic lives, like NSA advo cates," he said. "Students must realize that since this is a state university, we must consider the taxpayers' views as well as our own." A political science major favored a trial run in the organization. "Membership could be a good thing depending on what we do after we're affiliated," he said. "If we are willing to use their services, it would be wothwhile, but member ship is not worth it if we just pay our dues." lie further . stated that a yearly evaluation of our par ticipation in the group would be in order. "Anything to give student fovernment a shot in the arm is good," he said. A junior coed thought that affiliation would be very good for the university. "NSA has resources we can really use," she said. "They could help us coordi nate university activity, work in educational reform, Free University, everything. We need help!" A graduate assistant who had attended a large out of state university thought that NSA was basically a good organization. "At my former school, rep resentatives were on campus quite often, helping students in areas where we are tra ditionally unorganized," he said. "The group has be come a little more conserva tive recently, since the CIA was kicked out. That s kind of ironical, but because of that move, NSA has tended to attract more moderate campuses for membership." Another undergraduate, thought that affiliation was a good idea. "I think the students on tills campus are finally ready and are well-informed enough," he said. Social Enrollment for NFU decreased By Janet Max ft ell Junior Staff Writer Enrollment for the Nebras ka Free University has de creased over last semester's figures. Approximately 550 students nave registered for the Ne braska Free University (NFU an NFU coordinating commit tee member, announced Wed nesday. According to C r a i g Drees r.en, enrollment for last se mester was listed at 600. Novelty worn off , Attributing the drop in num ber to several reasons, Drees ien said the novelty of the NFU is wearing off and the Idea is becoming more ac cepted.' Because the NFU registra tion fell later in the semester Ag college names associate deans Three new associate deans have been named for the Uni versity's College of Agricul ture and Home Economics. Dr. Franklin E. Eldridge, director of resident instruc tion; Dr. John L. Adams, di rector of agricultural exten sion; and Dr. Howard W. Ot toson. director of the agricul tural experiment station have been given the new title, which reflects the academic responsibilities of the recipi ents, according to Dr. E. F. Frolik, dean of the college. These changes are also in line with title changes being made in otlier universities. The new associate deans will retain their titles as division directors. Dr. Virginia Trotter, direc tor of the School of Home Economics at the college, has held the additional title of associate dean since joining the University staff in 1963. Dr. Trotter is also associate director of the agricultural experiment station. ! than in' previous years, Drees-! zen believes more students are aware of the time they have available for NFU courses and predicts more will complete the courses. Dreeszen esti mated about half of the total enrollment dropped out last se mester. Applied Black Ma"' to be led by Steve Burdic, by far pulled the most interest, ac cording to Dreeszen. With 80 students enrolled, the program may present some difficulties, he said. The most successful courses contain about a dozen or less members. Dreeszen ex plained. Committee pleased Dreeszen indicated that the NFU committee members were pleased with the interest shown in areas of music, mathematics and computers. The NFU is not limited to the humanities and interest in these areas shows support for broadening the curriculum from the usual philosophy and literature courses he ex plained. A discussion course to be led by Dr. John Davidson, Botany professor, has also drawn interest, Dreeszen said. This course in unstructured, members can discuss what they are interested in. A seminar for course lead ers was a new procedure for this semester, according to Dreeszen. Writh 11 people at tending, the program included comments from previous NFU course leaders and discussion of new approaches to teaching. Will evaluate courses According to Dreeszen, the NFU committee will evaluate courses for the first time this semester. Working with the University Counseling Service, they will use questionnaires and interviews to evaluate courses as to how may stu dents dropped, what courses were unable to continue due to lack of interest, and suc cessful leadership. Looking for the type of stu dents who enroll in NFU and the courses they select, they hope to show students are not apathetic but. concerned with education, he said.' Looking to NFU next fall, Dreeszen noted one new fea ture. Reversing the previous process of first selecting a course, enlisting a leader, and then enrolling students, NFU will try to find instructors for students who have organized their own interest groups, he will also he. in, effect, he. said.

"The Aborted Moon," writ ten and directed by William Turek, is the story of two middle-aged women who realize by remaining isolated in one room for several years. Hodgebrin, the older one, has spent 10 or 20 years in doctrinating Maura into hat ing men. The climax of the play comes when Maura realizes that she has been the victim of Hodgebrin's bitter outlook and that there is nothing real in her world. The costumes, make-up and staging give an aura of the supernatural to the play, Tu rek said. Linda Varvel plays Hodge brin and Ann Van Steenberg is Maura. "Hell is for Other People," written and directed by Mike Mesmar, is a spoof of an ab surdist drama, laughing at the condition of man. Messmer said the play lampoons society through six characters who are caught in a nameless void. Boyd to present film, speak at University The characters typify a businessman, a self-sufficient career woman, a hippie, a clumsy thief and the Lord. Each character has his own way of dealing with the situ ation. Collectively they try three methods of escape and fail ridiculously at all of them, Messmer said. First they try inward contemplation, when that fails they use a physical approach and try to run out of the trap, and lastly they ask for divine help. In order of their appearance the cast members are: Mr. "B," Ray McMiUian; Mr. "A," Dick Johnson; Miss "c," Deborah Smith; Young Man, David Tremain; Young Worn an, Thalia Definski, and Man "d," George Bryan. Admission to the plavs is free. "The Aborted Moon" will be performed in the Arena Theatre at 8 p.m.- Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. - "Hell is Other People'' will be performed at 8:50 p.m. Sunday and Monday in Room 201 Temple. i The Rev. Malcom Boyd will be on the Nebraska campus to present a film Monday, March 11, and to lecture Tuesday, March 12. Boyd, an Episcopal priest who carries out his ministry in campus cafes, city disco theques and freedom houses, is the author of a book of prayers, Are Your Running With Me, Jesus? An album of Boyd's pray ers, recited by himself and accompanied by the jazz gui tar of Charlie Byrd has been released by Columbia Rec ords. Boyd, the assistant priest and the only white member of an all-Negro church in Washington, D.C., and a for mer weekly columnist on the Pittsburgh Courier, a national Negro weekly, is active in the civil rights movement. The first president of the Television Producers Associa tion of Hollywood, Boyd gave up a career in the film indus try in 1951 to enter the Church Divinity a seminary of the Episcopal Church in Berke ley, California. Boyd defines prayer as "talking to God in everyday language about everyday things." According to Newsweek, "Boyd will use any method, no matter how unorthodox, to get his message across folk singing, jazz, movies."

Both presentations will be gin at 3:30 p.m. - I I I "ECill THE with William Bendix SUNDAY AT 5:30 P.M. FOOD fir FLICK $1.00 UNION CAFETERIA i M - l l - 'I I " ,1.5? ....! .drtl.m, a.

If you don't agree that business destroys individuality, maybe it's because you're an There's certain campus talk that claims individuality is dead in the business world. That big business is a big brother destroy ing initiative. But freedom of thought and action, when backed with reason and conviction's cour age, will keep and nurture individuality whatever the scene: in the arts, the sciences, and in business. y Scoffers to the contrary, the red corpus cles of individuality pay off. No mistake. Encouraging individuality rather than suppressing it is policy in a business like Western Electric where we make and pro vide things Bell telephone companies need. Because communications are changing fast, these needs are great and diverse. Being involved with a system that helps keep people in touch, lets doctors send car diograms across country for quick analysis, helps transmit news instantly, is demand ing. Demanding of individuals. If your ambition is strong and your abili ties commensurate, you'll never be truly happy with the status quo. You'll seek ways to change it and-wonderful feeling! some of them will work. . - Could be at Western Eiectric. v . Western Electric MANUFACTURE 4 SUPPLY UNIT Of IHE BELL SYSTEM t r t U i (: i-'.
