'Sincerity Is Foundation
Of Effective FTP Effort'
By TOM KOTOUC
People To People is the
most important movement
afoot in American colle ge
life today, said Governor
Frank 8. Morrison.
"But for People To People
to succeed," he said, "t h e
American student must have
a sincere desire to b e e o m e
better acquainted with our in
ternational brother and his
culture. And only through a
sincere exchange of mend-
ship and ideas wi.11 the inter
national student become bet
ter acquainted with our Amer
ican culture."
When we think that 70,000
international students study in
the United States each year,
People To People can well be
called the greatest educational
challenge of our decade, said
Bill Dawson, Kansas Univer
sity student and founder of
university People To People.
What would be the impact
of a sincere and spontaneous
effort by American and inter
national students to get to
know each other better as
true friends, both in class
and out?
Success Clue
Perhaps the picnic which
was held at KU for new
comers from abroad this fall
might give a clue to the suc
ces and rewards of People
To People.
Jointly sponsored by a K.U.
fraternity and sorority, the
picnic relaxed in genuine
friendliness and informality
and led to spontaneous enter
tainment. Victor-Jorge Her
rcra Lagunza of Spain picked
up his harmonica. Other stu
dents started strumming gui
tars. A bongo player joined
in to beat out the rhythm.
Suddenly the music of bag
pipes was heard and Margret
Cameron of Scotland joined
in the fun. by doing a High
land fling. Never before had
the two groups of students
come closer together in un
derstanding and e n j o y i n g
each other ,
Rick Barnes, co-founder of
People To People, told of an
Indian student that walked
front one side of Lawrence
to the other some 50 blocks
in sub-zero temperatures to
deliver a wedding anniversary
congratulation that he h a d
forgotten to mail to Barnes
and his wife.
' One Question
- Still one questions the need
for change. How completely
is the international student
accepted on campus and in
the city today? We want to
know about the American cul
ture and way of life as much
as we want to know about
American technology, said
one African student.
'The social life in Lincoln
for the students with whom
I associate is rather dull.
Many of the international
students have never danced
In their life. Also, music and
dancing are things that a per
son can easily carry home
with him. In thia way, inter
national students will be an
effective means of integration
of world cultures," he said,
"The common people of Ne
braska are very nice, though

with some lack of informa
tion about other countries.
"The problem is with Uni
versity students, especially
those in sororities and fra
ternities, without knowledge
of other nations. Because they
are afraid of a different cul
ture, they try not to have for
eign students as friends,"
said one . international s t u
dent.
Rules Forbid
"Sometimes this is not the
fault of the students, but of
regulations of the fraternities
or sororities that prohibit
them from having as a friend
an international student, he
added.
About dinner Invitations
"If a student introduces 'me'
to his family, friends or neigh
bors, I feel that this ac
quaintance is normal. But if
a person calls me and invites
me for dinner and when I
ask him how
he got my
name, he an-

ster of our church" or "I just
got it from the list of foreign
students," I don't consider
this normal and may not ac
cept the invitation."
A student of Peru said, I
avoid going to meetings of or
ganizations because interna
tional students are treated
like children. We have to sup
port a lot of "baby talk" like,
"What is your name?" or
What is your major?" 'or
What made you come to Ne
braska?" or "How many
hours are you taking?"
lne response Is always
"How Wonderful!" With this
lack of real conversation and
exchange of ideas and knowl
edge, the international stu
dent grows bored, he added.
Current Events
"I wishjwople would talk
a little bit about current
events, or better, about the
country of the student con
cerned. This gives the inter
national student the feeling
that this particular American
has some background of the
outside world besides the
U.S.A.," he added.
Many Nebraskans have
spoken out for international
friendships and sincerity.
One, Joyce C. Hall, presi
dent of Hallmark Cards and
chairman of National People
To People, said:
"The People To People pro
gram was originated by Pres
ident Eisenhower in 1956. It
has resulted in millions of
grass roots' friendship.
When you look into the hearts
and minds of men of any
race, color or belief, you see
that they have more in com
mon than they have in dif
ference." Student Council president
Steve Gage 'said in a recent
Nebraska Alumnus guest ed
itorial: "Although Nebraskans boast
loudly about their friendliness,
most of the foreign students
at the University are isolated.
"In daily activity on cam
pus, very few of them are
integrated into the organiza
tions and social functions.
They are forced to rely on
each other for social activity.
"In Isolating themselves
from the international ele
vcierf, the American students
erect false barriers, foster
misunderstanding and create
negative attitudes. Tha for

eign students are not even al
lowed to see us as we are,
as Nebraskans and as Amer
icans." It is not hard for the inter
national student to "get ac
quainted with" American stu
dents," said Dr. H. Lloyd
Weaver, dedicated foreign
student advisor.
"Mere acquaintance must
be only the beginning," he
said. "Genuine friendship and
understanding must develop,
however, if the American and
international student are to
really know each other."
Idea Becomes Reality;
Hall to Dedicate Chapel
By ANDA ANDERSON
Sixteen years ago an idea
was born in the mind of Dr.
William E. Hall, director of
the School of Journalism,
who was then alumni direc
tor of the University of New
Mexico.
The idea was to build a
small international chapel to

commemorate the school's
war dead.
Today the chapel is com
pleted, and Dr. Hall will be
heading for New Mexico Feb.
24 and 25, to dedicate his
baby. ,. ,
"It took a long time to rise
the $100,000 needed for con
struction," he said, "but we
felt the money should be giv
en on a voluntary .basis. No
one was high pressured," he
explained.
Over 10,000 individual con
tributions were made. The
average gift was $7.43. Half
of the donors gave more than
once. 1
The chapel, which is built
in early Spanish mission style
of architecture, has been in
use since this fall, but the
formal dedication will be Feb.
24 and 25. The dedication will
be part of the events on cam
pus of the school's 73rd birth
day observance.

was in the Army Reserve
Corps, when the war broke
out. In 1943, he was sent to
the University of Nebraska
for German area and lang
uage study.
From here h went over
seas. He was with the 44th
Infantry Division, the first
division to land in France.
He was wounded on the
front lines in Sept. of 1944,
and was later assigned to
counter intelligence. He was
stationed in Heidelberg and
Frankfurt before returning to
the states Dec. 1945.
He went back to Albuquer
que and worked as sports
editor, city hall reporter and
political writer, and later as
summed his position as alum
ni director of the University.
Then in 1950, he received
his masters degree from Co
lumbia, and returned to New
Mexico where he taught
journalism and was assistant
to the president of the Uni
versity. He received his
Ph.D. from the State Univer
sity of Iowa in 1954, and went
to Texas Tech at Lubbuck,
where he was director of pub
lic relations and chairman of
the department of journalism.
Dr. Hall came to the Uni
versity of Nebraska in 1956.
'Alumnus9 Has Lone
By WENDY ROGERS
Brown-haired vivacious Harriet Coble is the one-man
editor and staff of the "Nebraska Alumnus".
A combination of writer, file keeper, and editor, Mrs. "
Coble finds that ideas for the 32-page magazine are no
problem "it's selecting the best ones that's hard,"
she noted.
Best Ideas
The "best" ideas are chosen from the standpoint of
reader interest and importance both to the University
and individual alumni," she pointed out. ,
A 1956 graduate of the University, Mrs. Coble has
been editor of the "Alumnus" since October,' 1961.
'As editor," she said, "I try to put out a publication
that reflects the University and its alumni, but also keep
ing in mind that these articles must be interesting and
presented in the type of writing and format that will
appeal to the college educated reader."
Quality Essential
Rewriting is essential to Mrs. Coble's work "we
try for quality. Readers expect the magazine to look like
much time has been spent in its production.
Copy from outside contributors (ranging from one
to four each month) is due in her office in the Nebraska
Union on the 20th of each month. The printer receives
copy and pictures at 8 a.m. of the 21st.
Class notes, which usually take two and a half work
ing days to type, have a 22nd deadline.
A layout plan of the magazine must be completed
by the 20th, galley proofs of the copy return from the
printer on the 24th day, and Mrs. Coble partes-up the
final layout for printing f the "Alumnus."

Praises
For Their High
By BOB BESOM
The Nebraska Agriculture
campus has been congratu
lated for having the highest
percentage of seniors and
graduates interested in the
Peace Corps of any college
or university in the natjon,
according to a letter received
by Dean of Agriculture Elvin
F. Froiik. from Jim Gibson,
assistant director, Office of
Public Affairs, Washington,
D.C.
Of the 180 seniors and grad
uate students contacted
through the Peace Corps in
terest survey last December,
60 or one third indicated they
would like to have more in
formation about the .P e a c e
Corps.
Of this group, one indi
cated he h a d already ap
plied for service as a Peace
Corps volunteer, and four
stated they would complete
a volunteer questionaire in
the near future.
"Frankly," states Dean Fro
iik, "we did not expect so
many students to express an
interest in serving in the
Corps. It seems to me this
indicates that most of o u r
students have a sincere inter
est in foreign affairs and
many of them v-ould like to
make some typ of personal
contribution in helping to im
prove the foreign relations of
the United States."

Approximately 10,000 issues of the magazine are
printed monthly at an individual production cost of 25-30
cents. Paid advertising helps pay part of the costs.
The "Nebraska Alumnus" is sent to every University
graduate free for one year. Otherwise, the magazine is
included in part of the cost of membership in the Alumni
Association. .
It goes to 9,000 Assn. members, and to all campus
living units each month.
The magazine is split into three main feature sec
tions one alumni, one about or by a faculty member
concerning academic life, and one on activity of general
interest to alumni and present students.
University Prints
There are five to seven pages of class notes in each
issue, the equal of approximately 50 to 75 typed pages.
The "Alumnus" is printed at the University prints
shop September through June. Approximately 90 per cent
of the pictures' in the magazine are taken by personnel
at the photo lab.
A number of columnists, including Student Council
President Steve Gage, write regularly for the magazine.
They are: "Campus Roundup" by Ken Keller of Uni
versity public relations, "With the Cornhuskeri" by
John Bentley, sports information director for the Uni
versity, "The Majority Speaks" by Steve Gage, "From
the Foundation" is news of the fund-raising organization,
and "The Last Word" by Mrs. Coble.
According to Mrs. Coble, her position as editor means
hard work, and "when I'm not working, I worry about
it."
