here to be read, and we hope
somebody will use them."
This is the greeting to new
students from Professor
Frank A. Lundy, Director of

and philosophies will be
stressed throughout the year
at the Young Democrat meet
ings. Ferguson urged all stu

Saturday afternoons, includ
ing football days. .
Continuing his journey of
exploration and hopefully
looking for a quiet place to
study, the student may
wander around on the first
floor. This, according to Pro
fessor Lundy, is little more
than a "covered sidewalk"
a place to eat lunch and to get
away from the cruel outdoor
elements.
"You must realize," he con
tinues, "that the 'rear li
brary is upstairs." So, up
stairs . the student must go,
especially if he is looking for
peace and quiet.

desk. In the humanities room

Exchange students from the Soviet Union will arrive
in Lincoln Oct. 14 to spend a week with students and adults
at the University, Wesleyan University ,v and Lincoln citizens.
Thirteen will be in the group, one of two visiting on U.S.
campuses this year. They will be the only group visiting in
this Midwestern area and will come here from Washing
ton D. C.
The group will Include three
women and 10 men. The stu
dents will be older than most,
and by profession they are
listed as teachers, journalists,
a designer, architect, execu
tive, designer, producer and
the vice-chairman of the Tour
ist Bureau.
They will be housed in cam
pus residences. However,
housing officials and the ar
rangements committee have
not determined whether they
will live in sorority, fra
ternity, co-ops or independ
ent residence houses.
One Campus?
It has not been determined
if they will be on one campus
placed on all three campuses
that are involved.
"However several houses
have indicated strong desires
to entertain and accomodate
the Soviet students while they
are in Lincoln," said a mem
ber of the planning commit
tee. A host group of 30 under
graduates and graduate stu
dents have been preparing for
the visit since last spring.
The seminars which will be
led by University professors
will begin Wednesday eve

Nebraska students on a tour
of Montreal prior to their de
parture to Europe. They vis
ited the Mont Royal, Saint
Joseph Oratory, China town
and the Notre Dame of Can
ada. The first European stop
was made in England where
most of the group witnessed
ballet and opera for the first
time. They also made stops
at the Petticoat Lane, St.
Paul's Cathederal and West
minister Abby.
Ballet
In Utrecht, Holland the
tourists attended the world
famous Pilar Lopez Spanish-
ballet. This was in coopera
tion with the International
Music Festival.
Also in Holland, the Ne
braskans, with the other stu
dents, saw the Koller-Mueller
museum outside of Arhiem
which is seldom seen by tour
ists, according to Miss Hol
comb. In Switzerland the 6tudcnts
and their sponsors witnessed
several Swiss folk dances and
saw and heard the blowing
of the famous mountain
horns.

Groth said the purpose of
the visit is four fold:
1. To enable the Russians
to gain an idea of what the
United States is like.
2. To provide an opportu
nity to see how American
students live and work.
3. To give the visitors and
opportunity to inspect our '
centers of university life.
4. To present an insight into
our economic system and
how it operates.
Opportunity To Visit
Groth said the party visiting
Lincoln will be given an op
portunity to visit on the cam
puses, to meet with students
and other personnel, and to
gain an insight into industrial
com m e r c i a 1, governmental
and ag ventures in the Lincoln
area.
He said a similar group will
be visiting other university
campuses and that the Lin
coln group will also visit
Oregon State College at Cor
vallis and the University of 1
California at Berkley after
leaving Lincoln. Twenty-four
American students visitied in
the Soviet Union under the
student exchange- program
during the past summer.
Groth said the sponsoring
groups in Lincoln will include
the YWCA at the University
YM and YW chapters on the
ag college campus, YM-YW
chapters at Wesleyan as well
as the downtown Lincoln
YM and YW.
The committee of 30 will
remain in daily contact with
the Russian visitors, serving

scripts, hunting equipment
and burial place.
The tour stopped in Aix-en-provence,
France to view
the home of Paul Cezanne,
the world famous painter of
the impressionist era.
In Germany the students
had the opportunity to visit
the Rotenachsenand Zum
seppl student inns in Heidel
berg. Thomas, of the Nebraska
group, stayed to attend school
at the Alliance of Francoise
in Paris. Sasaki of Japan re
turned to his home from Eng
land from Paris.
Highlights
Miss Holcomb said that
one of the highlights that
made the tour even more in
teresting and profitable was
the show the Nebraska stu
dents produced and directed
aboard the R.M.S. Sylvannia
on the way to Europe.
In summarizing the trip,
none of the students told of
hostile natives in the coun
tries they visited. Mitzi Lee
said that the Europeans ack
nowledged them as Ameri
cans but did not go out of
their way to help or hinder
them.
The group witnessed anti
American speeches at Hyde
Park in London and a com
munistic inspired riot in Ven
ice. Members of the tour wish
to thank Miss Holcomb for
her help and advise through
out the entire trip. .
Miss Sharon Demars, chair
man of the Union recreation
committee announced that,
arrangements for the third
annual tour should be ready
by mid-October for interested
students.
