By Tom Rlsche
More instructors and mors lab
facilities am the main "dreams"
at the departments In Group B
f the Arts and Science college.
This group includes the depart
ments of political science, soci
ology and anthropology, and his
tory. The departments of political
science and sociology are located
in the Social Science building
and are rather crowded for lab
facilities now.
The three departments, in co
operation with the geography
and economics divisions, offer
courses which are the substance
for an international affairs group
major, The major is designed
for students who plan to make a
life career of foreign diplomatic
service.
Interdepartmental Major
Freshmen and sophomore stu
dents take the introductory
courses in the five cooperating
departments. By the end of the
junior year the student is ex
pected to have, completed 15
hours of the required 100 and
200 level courses. The senior
year is devoted to an intensive
study of international affairs.
Generalized- courses . are of
fered in the following fields
Latin America, the Far East,
colonial areas, the United States
in world affairs, Western Eu
rope, Eastern Europe,, interna
tional law and organization, com
parative government and politics,
international social problems,
and international economics.
. The major and minor require
ments of the Arts and Science
college are satisfied by taking
this course.
History
If the department of history
Is able to obtain an instructor
who is an .expert on far-eastern
affairs, it will have rather com
plete coverage of all the world
areas, according to John Alden,
chairman of the department.
Alden said that the hiring of
such a man would depend on the
budget for the department. There
are now seven full-time and 14
graduate assistant teachers.
About 1760 students are. taking
history courses this semester.
... The Nebraska history depart
ment offers courses in practically
all fields. Russian history is cur
rently becoming more and more
popular and more emphasis has
recently been placed on Latin
American history.
Perhaps one of the more un
usual courses in the department
is one on Mexican history since
1876.
Chairmanship Rotates
The history department is ex
perimenting with a system of ro
tating the chairmanship. Each
year, since 1946, a different man
has headed the department. Since
then Professors Eugene Johnson,
John L. Sellers, Glenn Gray and
Alden have been chairman. Prof.
Eugene Anderson will be chair
man for the 1950-51 school year.,
History, is a stud? of man
through written documents. It
differs from other sciences in that
it approaches the jroblera In a
chronological order, Alaen said.
Studies in history are needed by
students in all fields he said.

service, or archival work, among
other things.
Anthropology . .
Studying man, wherever and
whenever he may have lived, is
the aim of the anthropology di
vision of the department of so
ciology and anthropology.
Some of the essential informa
tion may be found in books and
other documents, but by far the
greater part of the data of an
thropology must be derived from
actual field work. This work is
conducted both by work with the
peoples living today, and from
the remains of long-dead in
habitants. Th work of anthropology is di
vided into four sections: Prehis
tory, which includes archeology;
physical anthropology, the study
of man's biological history both
as a species and as an individual;
ethnology, the study of living
people; and linguistics, the study
of languages.
Teaching, Research
About 100 students are taking
courses in anthropology. They
can obtain positions after gradu
ating in teaching or research in
the federal archeological salvage
program, under the' National
park service and the Smithsonian
Institution..
University archeologists work
closely with the Smithsonian In-
sitution for a great deal of their
work. Instructors are John L.
Champe, who directs the Labor
atory of Anthropology, and E.
Mott Davis, curator of anthrop
ology in the University museum.
Each summer, the laboratory
of anthropology conducts a sum
mer field school to points in Ne
braska where there are evidences
of former human habitation. This
summer, as for several years, the
school will go to Harlan county,
Nebraska, on the Republican riv-
nounced by the Bureau of Naval
Personnel.
The NROTC program is de
signed to supplement the U. S.
Naval Academy in producing
career and reserve officers for
the Navy and Marine corps.
Regular NROTC students are re
quired to take two summer
cruises and one summer period
of indoctrination in aviation and
amphibious warfare.
Pacific Stops
In the Pacific, where Nebraska
NROTC students will be sent,
940 seniors and sophomores will
take a training cruise that will
include steps at Pearl Harbor,
San Diego and the San Clemente
Island operating area. ' Enroute
they will undergo antisubmarine
training, gunnery and tactical
exercises, and will witness air
operations. Atlantic cruise itin
eraries have not yet been an
nounced. A new feature of the 1650
summer program will be the
training of about 1,150 senior
NROTC students as "junior offi
cers" aboard more than 70 ships
of the Atlantic and Pacific
fleets. ' t ;- ' ' ' . i
In this type training the mid
shipmen will be fully integrated
into the various ships' organiza
tions and Will, perform duties
similar to those assigned all new
junior officers reporting aboard
ship.; . ,,. .,
Florida Training
In addition, ' approximately
1,900 NROTC - juniors will re
ceive four, weeks of aviation in
doctrination at Pensacola, Fla.,
and two weeks' amphibious
training at Little Creek, Va.
Another 320 seniors, who have
been designated as Marine Corps
students, will undergo an eight
week training j program at the
Marine corps schools, Quantico,
Va.
Commenting on the program;
Vice Admiral John W. Roper,
Chief of Navy "Personnel, said:
"The 1ouj years of college ed
ucation, which includes compre
hensive study of Naval science,
supplemented with the sutftmsr

The construction of dams along
the river, as part of the Missouri

Entries Still Open for Naming
Hush Personality Contest
Have you entered a name in
the Union "hush hush" title con
test? The contest to name a title for
the new "hush hush" personality
contest at the Union is still un
derway. Entries may be left with

securing ballots when they pur
chase "cribs" in the Union Crib.
Prizes

person guessing the name of the
personality, will receive some
free prize" in the Crib. The first
few personalities will be talented
students who will sing or play
musical instruments, but later,
the contest will be held in co
operation with organizations for
publicity purposes.
"However, before the contest
opens, we must nave a suitable
name for it," said Genene
Grimm, Union Activities direc
tor. "It must pertain to the "hush
hush" theme and include the idea
that the contest will embrace
the whole University."
A dollars worth of free cokes

Sociology is the study of hu
man beings in group behavior.
The course of study is divided
into four parts structures of hu
man groups, functions of the
group, processes of the group,
and conditions leading to the be
havior of the group.

Union Names
Two Delegates
To Convention
Two members of the Nebraska
Union board have been selected
to represent the University at
the national union convention to
be held at the New Ocean House,
Swampscott, Mass., April 26-29.
The delegates, elected by
members of the board, are Bob
Mosher and Herb Reese.
Representatives from over 100
Unions throughout the nation
will attend the convention to dis
cuss present, past and futura
programs of their respective
Unions. Organizational meetings,
business meetings and discussion
panels will be held.
Also attending will be Duane
E. Lake, managing director of
the Nebraska Union and vice
president of the National Asso
ciation of College Unions.
The site of the convention,
New Ocean House, was found
by the executive-committee of
the Association to be "ideal." It
is located 12 miles north of Bos
ton on the ocean, in a pictur
esque and historic section of
Massachusetts.
Recreational facilities include
a private bathing beach, golf
course and tennis courts. Dele
gates will take time off to make
a combined boat and bus trip
to Gloucester, Marblehead, and
other points of historic interest
in the Boston area.

More Criminology.
Dr. James Reinhardt, who will
become chairman of the depart
ment after Hertzler's retirement
next year, hopes to be able to
obtain more facilities for crimi
nology instruction, More class
aids such as lie detectors and
voice recordeds, are needed.
Reinhardt would like to ex
pand courses providing training
in prison work and pr-law en
forcement. The prison work
training would include guidance,
counselling, social Investigation
and administrative prison work.
The law enforcement program!
wouid include training for police,

gating tgcncy work
Beginning next year, the sec
ond semester of Introductory so
ciology will not be required for
taking advanced sociology cour
ses. This will enable students
who are fulfilling a six-hour so
ciology requirement to take more
specialized material.
Outstanding Offerings
Several courses of rather wide
note are offered by the depart
ment. These include:
Industrial sociology the er-
feets of the modern industrial so
ciety upon human relationships.
History of social thought
the thinking from ancient times
down to the present day.
Positions open to sociology
graduates include teaching, re
search work, social casework,
nnd work with charitable and
service organizations, such as the
YMCA, YWCA, welfare agencies,
and boy's and girl's campus.
Political Science
Quiz sections for all courses . .
More instructors . . . More grad
uate work ....
These are some of the dreams
of the political science depart
ment, according to Norman Hill,
chairman.
All of these plans are still in
the dream stage mainly Because

to be a b 1 e to ha v e smaller
classes with quiz sections
for all classes in the future, aucn
an arrangement, Hill said, would
create better learning iacumes
for students. .
Another departmental project
is the expansion of graduate
work The department, Hill said,
is as well equipped as any polit
ioi cfirnrp denartment in the
midwest but is so heavily loaded
with undergraduate programs,
that it is unable to promote the
graduate proftam to a greater
degree.

'Daily9 Fools
Campus With
Serious Paper
Daily Nebraskan staff members
were laughing up their sleeves
Monday, after having fooled the
entire student population and
the brighter element of the facul
tyin Sunday's edition.
The expected April Fool Issue
was not forthcoming, due partly
to the fact that the day fell on
Saturday and partly to the fact
that spring arrived for another
try on Friday.
(Editor's note: The inability of
the "Rag" staff to coordinate) had
nothing to do with the omission.)
Chief among the reasons, how
ever, was the opposition which
such an issue traditionally meets
from the Anti-Wicked Stuff
league.
Home Talk
"The Daily Nebraskan had
better watch itself, or it will lose
Its darkroom privileges," Alley's
Home, AWS prexy commented.
"I am not and have never been
. . . " Rltz Impson, dynamic
"Rag" editor stated,
Nevertheless, it was decided
that a pink Rag in these troubled
times might be assumed to have
some connection with the politi
cal affiliations of staff members.
Good Name
Hence, in the best interest of
the University's good name, The
Daily Nebraskan presents its
first April edition sans April
Fool foolishness. .
And if today's paper is also
sans news and sans authenticity,
it is not the fault of the staff.
After all, such a condition exists
even on normal days.
"Daddy says if I see It in the
'Rag' it's not so," a Huskerville
two-year-old lisped.
Kansas Graduates
Ask Voting Rights
Graduate students on the Kan
sas State college campus are now
striving for an amendment to the
constitution of the college, which
would grant them the right to
vote in the student council.
The graduate students, who
paid activity fees for the first
time this year, have no voice in
Student Council. Their group,
having approximately 12 percent
of the entire student body, is rep
resented at the council only by a
non-voting member.

New Plant Book
First copies of "America's Crop
Heritage," by Nelson Klose, will
appear this week as the newest
book of the Iowa State College
Press. This is believed to be the
first time that the records of
plant introduction work in Amer
ica have been drawn together into
a single volume.
The book covers more than
four centuries of work with
plants, and describes the search
for and introduction of more than
300 varieties of present day crops.
