v, I UNIVERSITY OF NEBS. ace MAR 24 1958 Arnold Page 2 All-Dorm Intramurals Page 3 the Vol. 32, No. 85 Intellectual Values Emphasized America needs to revamp its sense of values in our science-minded age to nuture among its people the ' long range courage of intellect. This suggestion was made by Dr. Hans Selye, director of the Institute of Experimental Medicine of the University of Montreal, Thursday evening Strength Discussing "The Function of Basic Research in Our Society," the second of three Montgomery Lectures, D r Selye said vhat "sudden cour agethe type exhibited on the battlefield with a bayonet and muscles" are not the tvte of strength needed to survive in the future. "In contrast with short lived courage and the physi cal strength of young mus cles, intellectual values will become the decisive factor for future survival," he ex plained. Dr. Selye expressed the be lief that a nation should di rect the natural tendency of man to f ieht and let off steam toward the unveiling of the mysteries of nature and the nhvsical elements, such as the fight against disease. Enemy "It is important to a na tion to realize that it is nat ural for man to struggle for some aim. And the nation must realize that the greatest enemy of man is nature, and, in turn, nature can help," be said. The endocrinologist called for more emphasis on basic research in an effort to ele vate in the public's mind the importance of the scientists and basic researchers. Characteristics Dr. Selye listed three char acteristics of good basic re search. "It must be true; gen eralizable, that is related to some general law and unex pected." In addition these character istics must occure simultane ously and at the particular time the research project is conducted, he explained. Dr. Selye will deliver the final lecture of the series, "The Fatal Heart Accident," at the College of Medicine in Omaha on Friday.

THE L.ST GOOD-BY Barbara Brittin, Alpha Phi senior, tries a warm smile, despite chilly seat, as she says farewell to the last sign of winter, and greets the first day of spring. Winter, Begone! Overcoats Mothballed, Campus Greets Spring ao more icicles; no more snow! bpring is here, and away we go in our bright pink 1958 Thunderbird, or our MG with the top down, or our Volkswagen, with the top up Spring officially breezed in on her magic green carpet at 9:06 p.m. Thursday, but Corn- huskers began celebrating her arrival Thursday morning. To The North Wind Overcoats, boots, and mit tens were thrown to the north wind as students walked leis urely to their early classes in the bright, lukewarm sun light. By noon softballs had re placed the worn-out snow balls flying around fraternity row. Dirty, scraggly patches of snow huddled in shadowed comers against brick walls, try ing to escape the warming sunlight. The only decent looking snow pile on campus was occupied by Barbara Brittin. The warmer the sun grew, Student Bucks Buy Car Space The Campus Police, often recipients of wrathful pro tests from students who have been given parking tickets, are not dedicated entirely to snatching the student's dollar before he can spend it on social in terests. In fact, the parking tick et dollar is spent on exactly what the ticket receiver needs parking lots. Iast year, according to S g L John Furrow of the Cam pus Police, the $5,000 col lected for fines, along with the $3,500 for permits, was spent mainly on rocks for the lots. Along with the gravel, the fines finance preparation of the lot and a good deal of curbing.

Filled Streets Topless convertibles began to fill the streets, and strolling couples blocked the sidewalks. As the temperature reached a high of 43, the campus wel comed every degree of it. The Weather Bureau predicted more sunny weather and highs in the 40's Friday. If you feel a cool breeze sometime during the week, don't be alarmed. It will only be those scraggly bits of snow going north for the spring!
