Says NU Study
A campus tradition which holds
that seniors are wiser than other
students on the campus has some
basis in iact.
A study just completed at the
university shows that grades
earned last school year by all
seniors averaged about 82 per
cent. The average of grades re
ceived by all freshmen students
averaged about 74 percent.
Sophomore grades, the study
shows, averaged aobut 77 per
cent and the juniors about 79
percent.
In all four classes the average
of grades earned by women stu
dents was consistently higher
than those earned by the men.
During the first semester 4.5 per
cent of total grades given stu
dents were "flunks" or failures,
but in the second semester tins
dropped to 2.9 percent.
Activities Committee and the
School of Fine Arts, the concert

On Life in Finland
BY ARLEN BEAM.
Duane Cellin, who just re
turned from a two and a half
months' stay in Finland, says that
altho the Finns know well the
menace of the Soviet Union, they
are living as usual and even
planning far into the future.
He was among the 31 delegates
who visited European countries
under the International Farm
Youth Exchange project. He was
the only representative from
Nebraska making the trip.
Sellin, a senior at the College
of Agriculture, spent about four
and a half months visiting sev
eral foreign countries, including
Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Hol
land, France and Germany. Most
of his time in Finland was spent
on two farms, one in the southern
part of the country and one in
the central portion.
Diversified Farming.
The Finns, he said, don't spe
cialize in crops and "grow most
everything." The yields, he
added, are almost double to that
of crops raised in Nebraska. He
explained the Finns have an ex
cellent system of soil testing,
similar to the facilities at the
university, and .the farmers keep

their land in a high state ot
fertility.
As for the people, Sellin said
he believes the Finns are more
sincere than Americans. He said
he has never seen a more com
pletely honest people. "If you
leave something in the middle of
the street, you would probably
find it there two days later or it
would be returned to you."
Slow to Change.
He said the people are very
shy at first meeting and they m
are slow to change from their
way of thinking. "But when they
have something proved to them,
there's little hesitation in chang
ing." Sellin spoke highly of the 4-H
program under way in Finland.
He said it's patterned after club
work in the United States.
There's an enrollment of 65,000
from Finland's population of ap
proximately 4,000,000.
With one semester left to com
plete his major in general agri-
culture, Sellin plans to return to '
the University at the beginning
of the second semester. Sellin is
the first University student in
several years to make such a
trip.
