University of Nebraska Plays Role
In Decreasing Illiteracy in Turkey
NU Helps Establish the University of Ataturk
To cut the nation's illiteracy
from 90 per cent to 40 per cent
within four decades is the ac-
complishment of the-Turkish
Republic.
The role the University of
Nebraska is playing m Tur
key's endeavor was por
trayed on National Education

of Independence Day.
Bob Askey of KFOR nar
rated Land-Grant Interna

The presentation was the
sixth in a Freedom to Learn
series commemorating the
centennial of Abraham Lin

Land-Grant Act on July 2,
1862.
NU Cooperation
The "progress through edu

tributed directly to the co
operation of the University of
Nebraska in helping estab

along the lines of Land-Grant
philosophy. The contract for
joint cooperation was signed
in 1955.

comfort in summer can count
on cotton.
Thirty students agreed that
resin-ireated cotton is superi
or to dacron and to a blend
of dacron-polyester-c o 1 1 o n
with respect to whiteness re
tention, comfort, nillinff and
soil removal. They had worn
wmte aresses of the three
types of fabric twenty times
in a research project at
Drexel institute in Philadel
phia. (Pilling is the tendency
ot some labncs to form tiny
balls of yarn.)
At the same time, they
rated cotton low in wrinkle
resistance and dimensional
stability.
Light Colors Best
Cool qualities increase
when white or light colors are
worn in preference to dark
colors. White reflects sunlight
while dark colors absorb the
sun, and seem warmer, which
points up the significance of
whiteness retention in the ex
periment. "The consumer can judge
a garment's appearance and
price at sight, but only
through laundering can com
fort, ease of care and dura
bility to appreciated," re
ported Clara Louise Gibson
and Mae Y. Moore, in sum
marizing the students' find
ings. To Drovide answers con
cerning the latter three fac
tors, the research team at
Drexel Institute undertook to
determine at the same time
how best to keep cool in sum
mer. Conclusions were pub
tion, Chancellor Clifford M.
Hardin said,:
"The University of Ataturk
at Erzerum provides the
youth of eastern Turkey the
opportunity to move from the
way of life of 4,000 years ago
to the present within the
span of half a generation.
To make that leap in time
is the goal."
"Much of the future growth
will depend upon the seven
teen Turkish professors now
on the faculty who have
studied in the United States.
There are now 128 present
or prospective professors who
have or are studying in the
United States in cooperation
with our program. Fourteen
of them are now enrolled in
the University of Nebraska,"
he said.

Economics, February, 1961,
"Wear Study of Wash and
Wear Fabrics."
Cotton Rated First
Drexel collegians rated
cotton first, the dacron-poly-
ester-cotton blend second, and
dacron third choice. The av
erage customer counts com
fort, appearance and soil re
moval more important than
the necessity of ironing wash
and wear fabrics.
Dacron was rated highest
by students for its wrinkle
resistance and dimensional
stability (holding its shape),
with an unsatisfactory rating
for comfort due to presence
of static, electricity.
The blend was inferior to
cotton and dacron in white
ness retention, pilling and soil
removal.
Miss Mary Guthrie and
Miss Valetta Leite, home
economists in the textile de
partment at University of Ne
braska, had a friendly word
in behalf of linen.
"The high absorptive prop
erty of linen, lack of lint, and
the ease with which it can
be cleansed make it a highly
desirable fabric. The fact that
linen crushes more easily
than other materials counter
acts to some extent its desir
able properties as a clothing
fabric unless it has been
treated to make it crush re
sistant." Miss Leite suggested that
not only is the fiber impor
tant, but the weave and yarn
structure are significant, in
addition to the style of the
garment.
Miss Gunel Z. Ataisek of
Ankara, Turkey, who gradu
ated last month from the Uni
versity of Nebraska, was inter
viewed in the TV presenta
tion. She was shown in the
nutrition laboratory seeking
to develop a bread, using
soybean flour and yogurt,
products easily obtained in
Turkey. She said the results
of her findings would be the
basis for demonstrations by
the home extension agents
working with the homemak
ers in Turkey.
Miss Ataisek explained that
"in home economics class
rooms in Turkey, students are
taught to help solve commu
nity problems. Ataturk Uni
versity is extending its boun
daries into the villages.
Through its efforts, new meth
ods of food preparation are
being taught to the homemak-
ers."
Another student from Ata
turk, studying at the Univer
sity in Lincoln, participated
in the Land-Grant Interna
tional presentation.

Stop Complaining
July Has Been
Hotter, Cooler
Vot it'c hnt in T.inCOln this
month. As the temperature
hits the 80's and 90's, you
might be wishfully recalling
the cool days of early spring,
but summer students of 1915
were probably wishing just
the opposite. The record low
temperature of 48 degrees on
July 4, , 1915 might have
spoiled their holiday plans.
Summer school students
must have really sweltered
on July 25, 1936 when the
temperature soared to a hot

record.

Noel L. Smith, construction
engineer for the University,
said the tunnel is a continua
tion of the one that is now
serving the girls' dorm. The
timnpi will run north in front
of the girls' dorm and then
east to the Twin rowers.
Construction in front of the
girls' dorm will be complet

a University with new spirit
and vitality. Our people ex

Unique Role
"It is my personal belief
that these Land-Grant univer
sitis have played a unique role
in the culture of the United
States in the past 100 years.
Our new University with its
activities and information will
have a big influence on the
other schools in Turkey," he
said.
Balaban added, "With my
enlarged education and back
ground in soil conservation
and management, and farm
building design, I will be able
to teach at Ataturk. Through
extension, I will be engaging
in the solution of problems in
my field."
Bob Askey concluded his
narrating of Land-Grant In

similar programs of coopera
tion are operative between
various universities in the
United States and schools in
Korea, Liberia, Thailand, Viet

Peru, Pakistan and others.

Individualism in Neb. Government
Examined in Grad. Studenf s Thesis
Individualism and the de
mand for local "control" of
government as practiced and
understood for years by Ne
braskans, appear more com
plex than the usual after
dinner political talk would in
dicate.
This is one of many conclu
sions that can be reached aft
er reading the thesis of Dr.
Robert N. Manley, a Univer
sity ot Nebraska graduate
student who completed the
dissertation as partial re
quirement for his S'h.D de
gree in history.
Dr. Manlev's studv. "Ne-
braskans and the Federal
Government, 1854-1916," was
undertaken to study the "in
dividualism which appreared
presumably as a trait of fron
tier people."
Complained
The thesis points out that
Nebraskans from 1854 to the
1890s complained vigorously
that the Federal government
was not doing enough for the
State, but by 1916 there ap
peared a clear opposition to
what was called Federal en
croachment. The Republicans, during the
1870s and 80s, proved more
receptive to Federal assistance
than the Democratic organi
zation, the thesis stated. The
Republicans during that peri
od bound themselves by no
such ideological limitations,
and their spokesmen argued
for Federal regulation of the

The purpose of these visi

Sessions, is fourfold:
1) To bring improved meth
ods of teaching to the Uni
versity. 2) To increase the breadth
of the Summer Sessions pro
gram. 3) To increase the depth of
the Summer Sessions pro
gram. 4) To fill in the temporary
vacancies left when NU pro

achieve its major goals of
quality teaching and quality
research supervision," Dr.
Sorenson said.
One of the outstanding vis
iting teachers, named by Dr.
Sorenson to illustrate the
bringing of improved meth
ods of teaching, is Mrs. Mary
Schwarz, a teacher in the
Kansas City school system,
who was "Teacher of the
Year" in 1957. Mrs. Schwarz
is a specialist in the field of
teaching the gifted student.
Dr. Edwin A. Williamson
of the University of Minne
sota is part of the program
to give added depth to the
summer program, said Dr.
Sorenson. Dr. Williamson is
a specialist in guidance and
counseling. .
