Scholarship Denied
NU Rejects. Grant;
Says Too Restrictive
By Jan Sack
Recently the University rejected a $200 annual scholar
ship for the College of Arts and Sciences to be provided
by Otto A. Sinkie of Grand Island if the student would be
willing to read certain books on altruism as extra-curricular
work.
The scholarship on altruism (unselfish concern for
others) was rejected because "his scholarship was too
restrictive and couldn't be used," said Herbert M. Potter,
assistant director of the University Foundation.
The scholarships for the
University are set up on the
following qualifications:
A scholarship shook! be
given for good academic work
which gives promise to con
tinued success.
It should not require of
a student an activity not a
part of his regular academic
work.
It is proper to designate a
subject matter field as a cri
terion for eligibility; but even
then only the major should
be designated, as an adviser
must be completely free to
recommend minors or other
supporting courses on the ba
sis of his own judgment.

Biz Ad College Considers Student Exchange Plan
By Jim Forrest
The College of Business Administration
is currently formulating plans to set up
a local chapter of the International Asso
ciation of Students in Economics and
Commerce, a foreign exchange program,
at the University next fall.
The chapter would sponsor a training
program through which American and for
eign students in business and economics
are provided with the opportunity to im
prove their knowledge of actual business
operations in each other's countries
through a reciprocal exchange of training
positions during the summer.
"Only npperclass or graduate students
who intend to pursue a career in business
or economics, preferably with some prac
tical business experience, are eligible to
participate In the program," said Frank
May, chairman of the Business Adminis
tration Student Advisory Board. Partici
pants do not have to be enrolled in the
College of Business Administratiin."
Interest in setting up a chapter,
which would consist of a student-faculty
committee, was precipitated this spring
after the successful internship of two
Nordic students at the Capital Insurance
Co., of Lincoln. Jack Zimmer, vice-president
of the company, suggested to Dean
Charles Miller that the College set up a
chapter of AIESEC, according to May.
"Zimmer said that a number of insur
ance companies have expressed an inter
est and since Lincoln is the location of
the home office for a number of com
panies, cooperation is not a problem,"
said May. "The problem will be to get
anyone to go overseas from Nebraska."
May explained that the local student
committees at the University, assisted by
faculty advisors, have the responsibility
of obtaining traineeship offers from bus
iness firms in the area and for arrainging
for the reception and care of the foreign
trainees.
The committee also has the responsi
bility in this country and abroad to ar
range for travel, introductions to employer
and landlord, arranging for receptions,
lodging, meals, sight-seeing, study tours
and social and cultural activities.
In addition, he said, the joint student
faculty committee will screen carefully
all applicants at the University including
their academic and extra-curricular rec
ords, recommendations and past business
experience.
Purposes
The AIECEC, which exchanged oer
2.700 students in I960, is a summer
trainee program with the following pur
poses: To enable American students to com
bine their business training with the study
of foreign affairs.
To bring the future business leaders
of other countries to the U.S. for training
with American business firms.
To offer students practical experience
in developing administrative skills within
the framework of an international organi
zation that has chapters in 198 univer
sities in 24 countries throughout the West
ern world.
To promote international cooperation
and understanding among the world's fu
ture business leaders.
The international AIESEC program was
established in Europe in 1943 by student
representatives of 12 universities in seven
countries. Since its first year of opera
tion, when 89 students were exchanged,
it has made its services available to more
than 12,700 student trainees.
University of Chicago
In the United States 28 universities are
now actively engaged in the program,
with 25 additional schools planning to par
ticipate this year. The closest chapter
being at the University of Chicago, ac
cording to May. Although more than 360
students were exchanged in 1960, the U.S.
program is only in its beginning, he said.
This program is almost wholly student
administered; it is this personal aspect
of American students welcoming their
student counterparts from abroad, and in
turn receiving the same treatment when
they go overseas that distinguishes the
program from all other exchange organi
zations, said May.
May explained that after the local com
mittee selects its applicants for the pro
gram, they send the names into the na
tional headquarters in New York City,
where, at the international Congress held
in March every year, traineeship offers
are matched up with application forms.
After the Congress, each participating
firm receives application for approval.
"When a firm accepts an applicant, it
commits itself to paying the trainee an
adequate living allowance which varies in
each country," said May, "however, the
applicant must pay his way over and
back."
May did say that if this program got
the full cooperation of the University, in
clding students and faculty, that scholar
ships or loan funds might be set up to
offset this expense as other universities
have done.
"The College is anxious to hear any
student or faculty opinions on the idea of
setting up such an exchange program on
this campus," stated May. "We must be
reasonably sure that it will be supported
wholly before we apply for a chapter.
Anyone interested is urged to contact my
self or the Advisory Board or the College
of Business Administration."
