Chancellor
Tells About
Atom Usage
"We could have practical atomic
power in a year, according to
many noted scientists, if they were
allowed to go ahead," Chancellor
R. G. Gustavson said before a
meeting of 200 people who at
tended Ladies' Night at the En
gineers' Club of Lincoln in the
Union ballroom last night.
The military, with its "crystal
ized thinking," was the only group
that doubted the practicality of
the development of atomic re
search, the chancellor said, and
he skillfully called attention to
the fact that "it was this same
military that doubted the prac
ticality of the atomic bomb."
Chancellor Lectures.
Introducing his observations on
atomic energy, Gustavson deliv
ered a basic and complete lecture
on the theory of atomic research
and development. He traced the
important advancements made in
the study of isotopes, atomic
weight, and radioactivity. Using a
blackboard to illustrate his ex
planations, Gustavson showed the
applications of the uses of radio
activity in medicine, describing
how science is gaining a greater
working knowledge of cancer from
discoveries made possible through
radioactive elements.
Prometheus II.
Stating that "atomic energy is
the greatest discovery since man
discovered fire," and that "radio
activity places in the hands of
scientists the most powerful tool
since the discovery of the micro
scope," Chancellor Gustavson
pointed out that by means of this
tremendous new power, man is
now able to make important ad
vances in the field of medicine
and in all of the scientific fields,
which will add to the general ad
vancement of civilization.
House plays the winner of yester
day's game between Kappa Kap

All participants in the WAA
competition must hand in health
permits by Nov. 1.

Adamic Keynotes
Tolerance in U.S.
Louis Adamic, noted author
and champion of civil liberties,
will address an all-university
convocation in the Union ballroom
Thursday morning at 11, accord
ing to Prof. Carl M. Arndt, chair
man of the convocation com
mittee. "Tolerance Is Not Enough" is
the provocative theme which
Adamic has chosen to discuss be
fore university students. Back
ground material for his topic is
certain to include information
gathered during a recent three
year project which the WTiter un
dertook. A three-year Carnegie
grant-in-aid enabled him to com
plete a series of three books deal
ing with the contribution to
American life by many years of
immigration from foreign coun
tries. Immigrated at 14.
Adamic himself came to the
United States from his native Yu
goslavia at the age of 14. Then
followed a rapid succession of
jobs in which he dug ditches,
loaded freight, wove textiles,
waited on tables and learned
English as fast as he could.
All the while, Adamic was look
ing around his adopted country.
When his first book was pub
lished in 1931, it showed he didn't
like all that he saw. Entitled "Dy
namite," it was a record of vio
lence in the American labor
movement.
Noted Author.
Since then, Adamic has written
such books as "Laughing in the
Jungle," which won him a Gug
genheim Fellowship to spend a
year in Yugoslavia; "The Native's
Return," a Book-of-the-Month
Club selection based on that trip,
and "My America."
In addition to his books, author
Adamic has made frequent con
tributions to such publications as
the Saturday Evening Post, Read
ers' Digest and Harper's.
All-Nebraska Art Exhibit
Opens Today in Morrill Hall
Two galleries of watercolors,
oils, drawings and sculpture, that
form the 11th annual All-Nebraska
Art exhibition which opens in
Morrill Hall today, constitute the
third of three art groups showing
concurrently. Sponsored jointly by
the university and the Lincoln
Artists' Guild, the exhibit dis
plays the type of art now pro
duced in the state.
Open To All Nebraskans.
Entries for the show, which
continues through Sunday. Nov. 9,
were open to artists in any part of
the state and to native or former
Nebraskans now living elsewhere.
"Though there is wide use of Ne
braska subject matter in the
paintings." said Dwight Kirsch,
director of university art galler
ies, much of the work was done
in summer vacation spots from
Maine to California."
Many indoor subjects, such as
still life figures and portraits are
included, too. "On the whole,"
added Kirsch, "the regional fla
vor is not the strongest feature of
these Nebraska paintings, certain
ly not in the style of execution,
which is extremely varied." Sev

Semester Fees
Uppcd lo 75
Decision to assess a uniform
tuition fee of $75 on all students
was made Monday by the board
of regents. Beginning the second
semester of the current school
year, all students carrying 12 or
more hours will pay a flat fee of
$75.
The tuition hike was prompted
by a $129,000 deficit in the salary
fund for non-academic employes.
Comptroller John K. Sclleck said.
Salary increases voted by the
state legislature last spring went
primarily to faculty members.
The tuition boost will total
some $200,000 in increased fees
per school year, Sclleck said.
Tuition costs at the university
are currently lower than at most
schools in this area. Chancellor
R. G. Gustavson told the regenls.
The new $75 tuition will include
all fees and assessments, except
books, he said.
$10 Per Student.
Selleck said the tuition
would average "about $10
student per semester." He
hike
per
said
that "about 15 percent" of stu
dents who are now paying more
than $75, would benefit by the
ruling. He did not say what per
centage are paying less than $75.
The last tuition increase was
voted by the regents in 1946. It
raised the costs from $2.50 to $3
per credit hour.
Concurrently with the tuition
assessment the regents voted a
10 percent wage increase for the
1.000 non-academic employes, ef
fective Feb. 1. Better paving
jobs elsewhere have lured many
university employes away, Scl
leck said.
Sample Fees
Sample college fees under the
new lump sum plan will set the
total cost for a semester at an av
erage of $75 for a full course of
12 hours. This fee will include
matriculation, registration. Union,
The Daily Nebraskan, medical
charges,- graduation and course
fees, but will not include applied
music, practice room and mili
tary uniform fees.
The college of dentistry fee
will be $350 per semester and
the college of medicine fee will
be $175 per semester. The Wed
nesday edition of The Daily Ne
braskan will carry a complete list
of fees, both resident and non
resident, for all colleges in addi
tion to a breakdown of charges
to students carrying less than a
full load.
