Ag&ard Action Prompts Extension of Library Hours
uruive w
..w. .... , By Jlm t orrest
A proposal presented by
the Ag Exec Board which
calls for the temporary ex
jpflgjnn of Ag Library hours
" (on a test basis) has re-,
ceived full approval from
the Administration.
Adam C. Breckenridge,
dean of faculties, announced
Friday that his office had
instructed Frank Lundy, di
rector of University libra
ries, to work out a plan that
would extend the library
hours to 10:30 p.m. for the
rest of this semester and
the 1961 Fall semester.
Late Friday afternoon
Lundy reported that he had
met with his staff and that
"as soon as a responsible
person can be found to su
pervise the late shift and
the campus police have
Training Center
Faculty Supports
Peace Corps Plan
Enthusiastic faculty support has been given the Peace
Corps program, necessary if Nebraska is to be successful as
a Peace Corps training center.
In one of a series of special faculty interviews, Dr. Rob
ert Sakai, professor of Far Eastern History, reflected that
"The faculty of the University have been stimulated by the
possibilities of the Peace Corps. The opportunity for accom
plishing good greatly outweighs the pitfalls of the program."
Dr. J. C. Olson, Chairman
of the Department of History,
emphasized "The Peace Corps
is a dramatic and imagina-
tive expression of the spirit
that built America."
Professor of Russian His
tory Dr. A. T. Anderson re
marked "We cannot sell short
the capacity of American
friendliness and good will to
gain the confidence of people
abroad as to the good inten
tions of our government and
people. And who can deny the
positive impression made upon
people abroad when they ofr
serve American youth leaving
an affluent society of abun
dance in order to help oth
ers?" "The Peace Corps will not
revolutionize our world posi
tion," cautioned Dr. Norman
Hill, professor of Internation-
al Relations in Political Sci
ence, "but it embodies some
of the initiative and Imagina
tion which we need to fight
the cold war.'
Dr. Edward I. Fry, assist
ant professor of anthropology,
labeled the project an "Ex
ellent idea, if we can pro
vide the Peace Corps mem
bers with adequate training
in the culture of the nation
to which they will be sent."
Challenge
Dr. Anderson outlined the
challenge which faces the
Peace Corps:
"The American youth is
challenged not to impose his
culture and government on
other people of the world, but
to aid them in developing a
viable way of living to re
duce starvation, illiteracy and
disease. Americans must
eventually begin to think of
devoting a part of their life to
other people of the world, but
sending talent abroad which
today considers its first re
sponsibility to establish a
business and a home once
college has been completed."
Dr. Olson cautioned that the
U.S. must be modest in their
start to insure initial success.
"If the first group does not
make a good impression, we
might as well abandon the pro
ject," said Dr. Anderson.
Dr. Fry noted, "It would
be a waste of knowledge and
ability to send a college-prepared
teacher to fix tractors
or build roads. This is no Boy
Scout venture We must
match the job with talent."
"The Peace Corps is not a
joy ride, as many who in
tended to enter seem to think.
And we cannot become so im
mersed in creating good will
that we do the exact oppo
site," Dr. Hill interjected.
Nebraskans Effective
Does Nebraskan's boast of
longevity and health better
qualify our youth as "Peace
Corps members than youths
from other states?
Dr. Sakai added, "Nebraska
youth are largely drawn from
an agricultural population
which does not shrink from
manual labor. Familiar with
the soil, these youths are in
a unique position to work
alongside the peasant and
fanner from Asia to Africa,
dispelling the Communist in
spired impression of the
American as the 'big, fat
capitalist'."
"Midwesterners strike a
kind of balance in American
qualities which are considered
good," said Dr. Anderson.
"This region, if not the best
from which to draw talent,
certainly is near the top of
the reservoir of talent."

The library director went
on to say that the change
"f will probably take
place sometime this week.
The new hours for the Ag
library will be 7:40 a.m.
10:30 p.m. Monday through

It was also announced that

Spring Day to be Bigger,
By Sue Hovik
Jousting, roller skating, egg blowing and bicycle ob
stacle racing contests are just a few of the many games
organized houses, dorms and co-ops may enter in the
Spring Day competition.
This year, Spring Day competition will be held on Ag
campus. This new location will offer a bigger and better
game site plus opportunities for a wider variety of games.
Two men from each men's organization will enter the
jousting competition. The man riding on the other man's
shoulders will not be allowed to be tied or strapped on.
These gallant knights will charge at each other with gar
bage can lids and a padded pole at a distance of twenty
yards. The object is to dismount the opponent's rider or
drive them out of the three-foot lane in two out of three
matches.
Five member teams from each women's organization
will compete in the roller skating relay. Wearing regula
tion steel-wheeled roller skates, each girl will skate around
the Ag campus mall. One member from each team will
start on a given signal, skate around the mall, and tag the
next girl in line. The winner will be the team to complete
the course first.
Egg Blowing -
In the egg blowing contests, one girl from each organi
zation will move an eggshell 20 feet to the finish line by
blowing only. Crawling on hands and knees behind the egg

poll were tabulated and pre

members voted to recom
mend the proposed changes.
The proposal was then for
warded to the Administra
tion for action.
Longer Hours Needed
Many students and faculty
members of the college
have a very serious prob
lem and great need for
longer Ag library hours.
This is shown, said Edeal,
by the return of 387 of the
700 of the polls distributed,
or a return of 55.3 per cent.
A large majority of the
students polled, 86 per cent,

More than 600 students who
rank in the upper 10 per cent
of their classes will be hon
ored. Special recognition will
be given to 79 seniors who
rank in the upper three per
cent or who have been on the
honor roll since their fresh
man year.

High Point !
The convocation is being
tabbed by IFC officers as one
of the high points of Greek
Week, which started yester
day with Greeks attending'
church and open houses.
The plans for this year's
Greek Week were laid by the
Jr. IFC, then approved by the !
shell, the contestant will not be allowed to use her hands,
feet or nose to stop or direct the ball. .
Each contestant from a men's organization will com
plete a total of ten laps in the bicycle obstacle race: five
laps around the regular track, two laps through the ob
stacle course, and three laps around the regular course
again. Each contestant will furnish his own standard
American bicycle, with standard 26" wheels. The fenders
may be removed if so desired.
.The obstacle course consists of one ramp, one teeter
totter, a sharp S curve, and a zig-zag between poles. At the
end of the first obstacle lap, the contestant must ring a bell
and blow a horn to let the crowd know that he has finished
that lap.
At the end of the second obstacle lap, the contestant
will stop, pick up a flag which has his number on it, and
put on four articles of women's clothing before finishing
the last three laps carrying his flag. The winner will be
the one who completes the lap in the least amount of time.
Trophies to Winners
In each of the contests, trophies will be awarded to
first place winners, and second and third place winners
will receive prizes.
In addition there will Te two mystery events. All
houses, co-ops, and dorms wishing to enter Spring Day
competition must have the entry forms filled in and re
turned by April 20.
wanted the Ag library hours
extended. The faculty did
not favor extending the
hours but they did express
the opinion that students
would probably need it, said
Edeal.
The results of the poll
also showed that 88 per cent
of the students who an
swered the poll wanted the
library open on weekends,
especially Sunday.
Although the original rec
ommendation from the
Board called for a 11 p.m.

hours be extended only un
