: W. a.-
ica and other groups make
a major contribution to the
success of the fair, Schultz
said.
"At the same time, atten
dance at the fair is a unique
educational experience both
for those who participate and
for those who come only to
look," Schultz said. The num
ber of young people partici
pating annually runs well ov
er 3,000, he added.
Headlining the State Fair
Varieties will be Dennis
Day, comedian-singer, who
has neen - featured oir the
Jack Benny radio and tele
vision shows since before
World War n. Appearing
with him will be Peter Palm
er, his orchestra and voices,
Schultz said.
Ponies Given Away
Of special interest to the
children will be a "Name the
Pony Contest." Two ponies
complete with saddles and
brides, will be given as prizes
for the best submitted names.
Returning to the list of the
fair's attractions is the world
famous dancing waters show,
Schultz said. This display,
which combines music and
dancing" fountains of wa
ter colored with lights, last
appeared at the fair in 1955.
Industrial displays at the
fair will show many products
made right here in Nebraska,
Schultz said. "Thus Nebras-
kans will be able to get a
good idea of how Nebraska
is growing industrially."
Space for industrial exhibits
has been sold out since June
1, he added.
Preparation Is Year-round
Preparation for the State
Fair is a year-round job,
Schultz said. The agency in
charge of the operation of the
fair is the State Board of
Agriculture. This board is
entirely separate from the
State Department of Agricul
ture, be added.
Board members meet twice
a year once in January
and again during the fair
to review the accomplish
ments and to consider pro
posed policies for the future,
Schultz said.
During the year the actual

Regents Accept
32 Resignations
Dr. Fred L. Nicolai, deputy
registrar at the University of
Nebraska since 19o8, has re
signed to accept the position
of registrar at Temple Uni
versity, Philadelphia, effec
tive Sept. 22.
The native Nebraskan, in
strumental in the pioneering
of the nationally recognized
pre-registration program, at
the University, was among 32
resignations accepted by the
Board of Regents last week.
Dr. Nicolai, who was born
at Sutton, earned all of his
degrees at Nebraska, joining
the staff in 1956 as a science
counselor and instructor in
botany.
At Temple, he will be in
charge of the admissions,
registration, and records of
26,000 students.
Of the 32 resignations ac
cepted last week 22 were
members of the teaching staff
and of these, half were of the
instructor level or below."
In the professorial rank, the
Regents accepted the resig
nation of Dr. Stanley R. Ross,
professor of history, who ac
cepted a position at Long Is
land Center, State University
of New York.
More than 6,000 students
have been studying under the
direction of the University of
Nebraska this summer.
For many of them high
school All-Staters and Girls
and Boys Staters-t-the sum
mer session has ended. For
most of the 4,000 regular stu
dents, it will end this Friday.
And, according to the chan
cellor, the director of Sum
mer Sessions, a University
professor and library officials,
the 1962 Summer Session has
been yery successful both in
and out of the classroom.
"One thing that has been
verv evident this summer has
been a very . serious attitude
on the part of our students
both the regular students and
the visiting summer stu
dents," said Dr. Royce Knapp,
professor of secondary educa
tion.
Students evidently have
been studying, according to
Richard Farley, associate di
rector of libraries, who re
ported that summer session
students have checked o u t
nearly 25,000 books this sum
merabout 5 books apiece.
"And that doesn't include
those books read in the build

In addition to classroom

The United Nations isn't
what it used to be, accord
ing to the Bolivian ambassa
dor to the UN, Dr. Carlos
Salamanca Figueroa. -
"I've worked "there "too
long," he said. Most people in
the United Nations today are
anti anti-East or anti-West.
To get anywhere, there must
be a common goal it's hard
to accomplish much when ev
erything is anti rather than

Dr. Salamanca, who is also
Bolivia's ambassador to the
United States, has been with
the UN since it was organized
in 1945, except for a six-year
period from 1946-52.
The ambassador visited the
University of Nebraska cam
pus last week as the prin
cipal speaker for a Latin
American fiesta, held in the
Nebraska Union.
Hot Strong in Number
Discussing communist ele
ments in Latin America, Dr.
Salamanca said in an inter
view that the communists are
not strong in number in Lat
in America but they do
exert their propaganda.
"Changes in Latin America

NU at Fiesta
Latin America-specifically
the country of Bolivia came
to the University of Nebraska
last week for a Latin Ameri

Bananas, oranges and oth

lattice, examples of Latin
American art decorated the
walls, girls were dressed in
costumes of Latin America,
and Latin American dishes,
such as arroz con polio, com
posed the menu.
Highlight of the evening
was a speech by Ambassador
Carlos Salamanca of Bolivia.
A nro?ram bv NU foreign stu
dents gave the audience a
glimpse of Latin American
music and dances.
Entertainment included a
Latin American dance by
Wendy Eaglesome ana Kene

solos by Wendy and a guitar

Martinez.

grams planned by the Sum
mer Sessions office, the Ne
braska Union and other
groups on campus.
Summer school was origi
nally started as a regular
program plus some enrich
ment, and both areas have
been greatly improved, ac
cording to Dr. Frank E. Sor
enson, Summer Sessions di
rector. "Anyone here for a sum
mer now can strengthen him
self in his own field and also
leave here more knowledge
able about the world," Dr.
Sorenson 'said.
Educational Experiences
Reviewing the Summer Ses
sions programs, Dr. Sorenson
said, "The University faculty
has recognized the need for
not only adding depth to each
educational offering, but, in
addition, to provide a horizon
tal layer of educational ex
perience that would be of
general interest to persons re
gardless of their specific field
of interest."
"If you can get this into
your program, to me, this is
one of the most important
things we. can offer here,"
Dr. Sorenson said.
"With this in mind, the
the violent wav. which would
be the communistic way, or
through peaceful revolution,"
he said.
"The only way to fight com
munism is to raise the stan
dards of living of the people
and to promote better govern
ment through political partici
pation," the ambassador said.
"To combat communism,
you must understand it."
Many communists themselves
have secondhand knowledge
about their party, he added.
"I taught political science
at the University of Cocha
bamba (Bolivia)," he said.
"Some of the students and
some of the professors were
communists." Dr. Salamanca
ad,ded that he flunked one of
his students, who was a com
munist, because he could not
answer a question about the
type of philosophy commu
nism is. Nor could two com
munist professors answer, he
said.
"Communism is like a re
ligion and one must under
stand it to combat it," he
added.
When asked about commu
nist, movements in Latin
America, Dr. Salamanca said
you really can't blame them
too much for trying to take
over Latin American coun
tries if you look at it objec
tively. "Think of it from a Rus
sian's approach," he said.
"If you were a Russian
which would be hard to im
agine, I know wouldn't it
make sense to you to take
over one of two governments
in the United States' own
hemisphere?" Then you could
spread propaganda that the
United States can't even keep
communism out of its own
hemisphere," he said.
"I'm not taking sides," the
ambassador stressed, but it
helps to study problems ob
jectively. During 150 years of Amer
ican and Latin American re
lations, only 6 years have
nnrmnl relations. Dr.

Museum Politically
Touring the University of
Nebraska campus during his
visit last weelc, Bolivian Am
bassador Carlos Salamanca
was admiring a display of
prehistoric elephants in t h e
Morrill Hall museum.
A museum official ex
plained that the elephants
were truly Nebraskan their
skeletons had been found bu
ried in Nebraska soil. Dr.
Salamanca's comment' "I
sea yon ai$ Republicans."
World Affairs Previews have
been offered, and students
and faculty have been en
couraged to attend because
of the opportunities they pro
vide educated men and wom
en to become more closely
identified with today's lead
ers, events, issues and prob
lems on a world-wide scope."
Organized Program
"Never before have we
had as completely organized
a program of world affairs
education as we've had this
summer."
Complimenting the summer
program, Chancellor Clifford
M. Hardin said, "We've been
unusually fortunate this sum
mer in being able to obtain a
series of distinguished per
sons to participate in our
world affairs programs."
"The State Department
team, headed by Chester
Bowles and the appearances
of Jonathan' Bingham and
Ambassador Salamanca
seemed to be much appreci
ated by the student body as
well as people across the
state," the chancellor said.
Dr. Sorenson commented,
"We purposely brought Ches
ter Bowles and his associ
ates here to inform Nebras
kans about foreign policy,
and we purposely brought

are fine "but that's not

The U.S. should recognize

the job completely, you have

son added. Bolivia was select
ed to be studied at a Latin
American fiesta this year.
Emphasis on Quality
"What we're trying to do
here at the University is to
give high emphasis to quality
teaching, research and edu
cation," he added.
Dr. Sorenson also praised
the program offered by the
Nebraska Union this summer,
particularly the fine arts
programs. "Some people need
this more than anything else,"
he said.
In his comments about
the summer programs and
the 1962 summer session, Dr.
Royce Knapp also praised
the summer programs and
added that "the visiting lec
turers and visiting staff bring
to the young people of Ne

fresh viewpoints and stimu
