A. familiar face around the
Dairy Industry building is Irwin
h: Hathaway, assistant professor
of dairy husbandry.
A member of the experiment
station staff, Hathaway takes a
great interest in student affairs.
In fact, for the past 15 years he
hrs been chairman of the faculty
advisory committee of the Ag
E"c board.
An Ag Exec board member
stated his opinion of Mr. Hath
away this way:
"He believes students are cap
able of governing themselves, so
h lets them make up their own
m'nds, interevning and advising
only when there is a definite need
for advice.
Asset to Board
"His 15 years of service are a
great asset to the board."
In addition to this, Mr. Hatha
way is on the faculty committee
on student activities, faculty
committee on College Days, and
on the faculty Innocent commit
tee. Throughout his participation in
these various committees, Hatha
way has shown a strong interest
in students and their organiza
tions. Mr. Hathaway is a native
Iowan but received his bachelor's
and master's degrees at Kansas
State college. Since 1926, he has
been at the University.
Most of his work here centers
around nutrition in various feeds
and milk products.
Co-operative Projects
These dairy department proj
ects often are in co-operation
with other departments. Some
times they are carried out in the
Poet Laureate
To Address
Writers Guild
Dr. John C. Neihardt, adviser
editor of the "Prairie Schooner"
and professor of poetry at the
University, will be the guest
speaker at the spring luncheon
meeting of the Nebraska Writers
Guild April 21 at the Cornhusker
hotel at 12 noon.
, Dr. Neihardt was declared the
poet laureat of Nebraska by a
joint resolution of the state sen
ate and was thus recognized for
his work upon the American epic
cycle of pioneer life.
The recognition was the first of
its kind by a law-making body
to an American poet.
He had previously been pre
sented with an honory degree of
Doctor of Literature by the Uni
versity in 1917.
In 1919 he shared the prize of
the Poetry Society of America
with Gladys Cromwell.
In 1926 Dr. Neihardt issued a
Volume of "Collected Poems"
which brought together his three
epics of the west, "The Song of
Three Friends," "The Song of
"Hugh Glass" and "The Song of
the Indian Wars."
Dr. Neihardt now lives in Co
lumbia, Mo.

Writing Is A 'Gradual Thing'
Says University
Writing is a "gradual thing"
says history professor J. R.
Alden, author of a book entitled
"General Lee: Traitor or Patriot?"
His book, concerning the senior
major general under George
Washington at the time of the
American Revolution, will be
published April 23 by the Louisi
ana state university press.
My interest in the revolution
began, Dr. Alden explained, when
I was a graduate student at the
University of Michigan. With the
fine William L. Clements library
of American history on the
campus, I naturally became inter
ested in that part of our Ameri
can heritage, he said.
General Gage
My interest in history, develop
ing from my use of the library,
he said, led to my first book,
"Southern Colonial Frontier."
Colonial general Gage capitvated
me next, he related, and I wrote
"General Gage in America."
Then, Alden said, one thing led
to another and I moved on
Charles Lee, a high ranking of
ficer in the same regiment and
army as General Gage.
Researchers
To Continue
Yrj-l frm f Tr-vl
TT tCU VAIllliUl
Weed researchers at the Uni
versity will continue their investi
gations this year to find more
effective ways of controlling the
annual headache for farmers.
Here are some of the projects
which are underway:
Deane Finnerty, Dayton Kling
man and Neal Shafer are trying
various ways to control weedy
grass in bromegrass. They're us
ing plots which contain a good
Lincoln and Lancaster brome
mixed with hairy chess and
downy brome. The scientists are
using varying rates of nitrogen
in conjunction with other weed
control practices. There will be
chemical herbicides applied, using
a mixture of TCA and dinitro
compounds. Mowing and burning
also will be compared in their
effects on weedy bromes and
Ktnnnth hrntnp.
jdea of the fertility treatments
is to increase the vigor of the.
i smooth brome over the ability
'of tht smooth brome. Mowing
j and burning may eliminate the
seed source of the weeds, and
subsequent crops may be rela
tively free from weedy brome.
Past results with TCA has given
good kills of the undesirable
plants, but the smooth brome has
been injured somewhat. There)
are no recommendations yet fori
its use. I
Another experiment which is
designed to find the best kinds
and rates of application of chem
icals to kill grassy weeds in al
falfa will be underway.
Sagebrush control experiments
in the western part of the state
will continue. The tests ere made
through 'the cooperation of the
State Department of Aeronautics
and the Piper Aircraft Corpora
tion, which furnishes the plane.
Results from last year's experi
ments show that there has been
65 per cent kill on sagebrush,
using one pound of ester 2, 4-D
per acre. And grass production
in the sprayed areas seems to
increase.
New Building to Replace
Lutheran Student House
When coeds scamper to andj
fro between the dorm and the
concession stand across the street,
seldom do they stop to think that
a couple old timers are watching
them.
This old timer, now yellow
with age and ready to fall apart
at the hinges, is the old Lutheran
student house. Although old as
far as years go, the Lutheran
students at the University have
only possessed it since 1949.
x Now they are planning start
out afreash, tear the old building
down and erect a new Lutheran
Student Center Building in its
place.
Before gasping its last breath
of life, however, the old house
breathes a story that compara
tively few Nebraskans could re
call first hand today.
Built in 1874
In the beginning, 535 North
16th was built by a Lincoln man
as a home for his family. That
was back in 1874, when "R"
Street was the main thorough
fare for Lincoln traffic and, at
the same time the street farther
est north of "O".
The University was composed
of only one or two buildings
then.
A prominent Lincoln attorney,
now 88 years old, a son of the
man who built the house, was
12 years old when this home first

History Prof
Lee, he discovered, was a very
unusual person. He wrote num
erous propaganda pieces under
various pseudonyms, of which
"Anglus Americanus" was per
haps the most common. He pos
sessed such a trenmendous tem
per Alden said, that some of his
acquaintances thought him to be
insane. According to Alden, Lee
would say anything anytime.
"There was nothing ordinary
about Charles Lee, he remarked.
And since no one had made a
real effort to get information
about Lee, I decided to write
about him. I traveled through the
South and East, gathering fur
ther material about a little re
membered general, he related. I
searched through Lee's letters, old
newspapers and magazines, and
government documents to find in
formation for my book, said
Alden.
In 1945, Dr. Alden became an
instructor at the University. Since
then, he has worked on the book
for a little more than four years.

who died in 1949. had lived in
this house almost continually
since it was built.
As a result, this property had
been in the name of this family
without a transfer of ownership
for 75 years until it was sold to
the Lutheran Student Foundation
Incorporation of Lincoln three
years ago.
Property History
The other piece of property
belonging to the Lutherans, 529
North 16th also has an attached
history.
A gray, non-descript-looking
frame, now in the, process of be
ing torn down, made the spot
quite a show spot in its younger
days. Built in 1884, it was one of
the more prominent Lincoln
homes in its day. Unlike its next
door neighbor, this house chang
ed hands several times before it
became the property of the Luth
eran Students foundation.
Thus, today two old landmarks,
who saw the University grow
from old "U" hall to what it is
now. are being confiscated. A
big, new, better building is
constructed.

memories of many a parade,
many a fashion and many an

portunity for all those interested
in civic affairs to become better
informed on local problems and
a challenge to all the citizens of
the community to prove that
they deserve good government by
becoming informed on the issues
before them."
