Omaha Municipal University, and
the University of Kansas. The

versities of this area. University
debate teams also appeared in
public debates before chamber of
commerce and high school au
diences at Blair, Wahoo, West

altho little known. He supports
several research projects in col

change the raw elements of the
earth into useful products by the
action of the sun. And he puts it,
"Why is grass green?"
"Boss Ket" is a vigorous
preacher for industrial prepared
ness. The world isn't finished, he
insists. People know very little
about anything factually. 'The
great need is more research aimed
at finding new products to put
unemployed men and capital back
to work, he says.
Mr. Kettering was made a fellow
in the National Academy of Sci
ences in April, 1928. Ohio State
university, his alma mater, in 1939
awarded him the Sullivant medal,
given every year to the alumnus
who has achieved noteworthy re
sults in science, engineering, lit
erature or the social sciences.
Many honorary degrees from such
schools as the University of Mich

conferred upon him. In addition,
Mr. Kettering has been the recipi

Team and Individual Awards.
Altho Dr. L. T. Laase, director
of debate, does not emphasize the
winning of decisions, and in spite
of the fact that 18 students shared
the responsibility of representing
the university in debate meets in
which decisions were given, the
Nebraska teams won 68 percent of
the decision debates in which they
were involved. In quality ratings
18 of the squad members received
rating of "excellent" or "superior."
Honors won by the forensic
squad were distributed in a num
ber of activities. In debate, George
Blackstone and Frank Mattoon
were undefeated at the University
of Iowa invitational tournament,
shared top honors with the Omaha
tourney, and won a superior rating
at the University of Nebraska de
bate discussion conference; John
Dale and Albert Johnston, sopho
mores, were undefeated at the Ne
braska Wesleyan invitational tour
nament; Jean Kinnie and Morris
Coff, likewise annexed superior
ratings at the Rocky Mountain
Speech conference at Denver; and
William Rist was a second rank
ing debater in the Missouri Valley
Forensic meet.
Public Discussion Awards.
In public discussion, Frank Mat

As an incentive for students to
attend this summer period, Mr.
Moritz emphasized that students
availing themselves of the oppor
tunity to gain requirements for
graduation during this summer
session, would shorten the time
required for them to complete
their courses. Graduate courses
will be offered as usual.
The first summer school session
will begin June 1 and will end
July 3. The second session will
take up July 6 and be concluded
Aug. 7.

ference. In oratory, Romulo Solde
villa won second honors in the
Missouri Valley Forensic Meet. In
extemporaneous speaking, William
Rist won third honors in the Mis
souri Valley Meet. In radio news
commentating, Henry Lee won su
perior honors at the Nebraska de
bate and Discussion Conference.
The season was not without its
dramatic moments. Eight of the
ten varsity men were called up
with the ERC approximately ten
days before the Missouri Valley
Forensic Meet. The Missouri Val
ley League, which heretofore has
been exclusively a men's organ
ization, declared women eligible
for participation and with the
meet less than a week away, two
women, Jean Kinnie and Jean
Frescoln, prepared to take over
the responsibilities of the men.
Measles Intervene.
However, Jean Frescoln came
down with the measles, making it
necessary to call on a third
woman, Anne Wcilensick, two
days before the meet opened, in
order that Nebraska might be
represented in the meet. Despite
these complications, the univer
sity made an excellent showing in
the meet, placing all four events.
The highlight of the season was
the debate and discussion confer
ence held on the Nebraska cam
pus. At a time when many col
leges were cancelling their con
ferences, it was decided after con
tacting the regional offices of
civilian defense to conduct the
conference on this campus to
those colleges and universities
which might find it convenient to
attend.
Largest in Midwest
More than 100 students from 21
other college and university cam
puses attended, which is reputed
to be the largest conference held
in the midwest this year. A total
of 138 debates was held during
the two days. The program also
included discussion, victory speak
ing, and radio news commentat
ing. Highlighting the conference
was a talk by Tom Collins, re
gional director of the national
victory speaking bureau of the
Seventh civilian defense area, who
solicited the services of the uni
versity students assembled for
the national victory speakers bu
reau. In commenting on the session,
Dr. Lasse said, "In view of the
wartime travel restrictions, budget
limitations, and disruptions of
squad personnel by epidemics and
calling up of the ERC, the varsity
forensic squad has completed a
surprisingly successful year."
Members of the squad included:
George Blackstone, Art Rivin,
Frank Mattoon, William Rist, Nor
man Hansen, Dale Wisser, Roland
Luedtke, John Dale, Albert John
ston, Jean Frescoln, Jean Kinnie,
Betty Newman, Katherine Sloan,

Coeds at Iowa
Help Alleviate
Labor Shortage
. . . 140 Turnout
Coeds at Iowa State college
have volunteered to help on the
school's farms to alleviate a pres
ent and future labor shortage.
The reclamation and conserva
tion committee of the Student War
Council called on women students
to help out with work on garden
products at the college. The first
call, to cut and process two acres
of asparagus, brought 140 women
volunteers, who will work as soon
as the crop is ready for cutting.
Girls Volunteer.
George Godfrey, director of ag
ricultural relations, said the col
lege'girl volunteers would cut and
process garden crops to be frozen
or canned for institutional pur
poses. After the asparagus crop
is harvested the volunteers will
handle such crops as beans and
tomatoes where a surplus exists.
The coeds will receive regular
rates for their work.
Margaret Hauck of Madison,
Minn., chairman of the reclama
tion and conservation committee,
said the college girls would have
to have a grade point average of
2.0 or better in order to qualify.
She expects other volunteers to
swell the total of the first 140.

"Their interest in their Ameri
can allies has greatly increased
and much of their time is spent
in trying to learn more about the
United States, its role in the
United Nations. Many of their ac
tivities, interests and achieve
ments are similar to those in es
tablished American organizations
which have formed a bulwark for
building a citizenry capable of
meeting the needs of democracy.
"American young people are in
terested, therefore, in how their
British allies meet acute needs on
the home front: particularly in
food production and home de
fense." In 1936 Miss Morley, as winner
of the national high school con
test of the League of Nations as
sociation, was awarded a trip to
Europe. She traveled in nearly
all of the countries of northern
Europe and participated in the
world youth congress at Geneva.
She returned to Europe for a
full year of study in 1938-1939,
leaving England just before war
broke out. Upon graduating from
Bryn Mawr in 1940, she was em
ployed as a conference secretary
of International Student Service.
She has traveled extensively over
the United States speaking on
topics of current interest.
