W. Rosenlof, a former dean of admissions. Rosenlof was a faculty member from 1921 -1956. The University has always welcom ed overseas students to pursue their studies here, he said. He added that the University had foreign student on campus even before 1918. : ROSENLOF said that before 1942 there was no scholarship program for foreign students. As a result, not many of them could come here to study, he explained. "But scholarships were given after 1942," Rosenlof said. There was a great increase after 1945. Since then, more students have been c o m i n g to the University, he added. "From May, 1945, to August, 1955, almost 275 degrees were awarded to foreign students," Rosenlof said. . IN 1948 the Cosmopolitan Club was started. It was run solely by foreign students. Its purpose, according to Rosenlof, was to get foreign and . American students together in social activities. The University is involved in two International Programs at Columbia and Turkey. The involvement at Columbia began in December 1965, when officials of the Columbian Government came to Lincoln and requested help in ad ministrating a technical aid program in agriculture, said William E.

Steps for preservation of 100 taken by NU Archives years by John Dvorak Ncbraskan Staff Writer For the first time in 100 years, steps are being taken to preserve and organize the heritage of the University of Nebraska. Now documents, letters, speeches, photographs, films and reminiscences dating back to last week, last year or a century ago can become part of the official University Archives. The task of developing the archives has been entrusted to Joseph G. Svoboda, a native of Czechoslovakia with a diploma in archives manage ment. SYOHODA I5KGAN his job in July, I'M. He was formerly the archivist at Case Institute of Technology in Cleveland. At present, he is working out of two medium size rooms on the fourth floor of Love Library. "Fortunately many alumni and teachers have saved materials over the years," Svoboda said. "But there was no order. Materials were stored in various locations and it was dif ficult to find any certain item." Since there was no order or central collecting agency, much valuable in formation has been lost forever. Certain individuals have been especially helpful in preserving in formation over the years, Svoboda said.

Most of our customers wear one when they leave our place. We don't change their lives, but wc do make their shopping so much nicer. Our salespeople say hello, but they aren't pushy. They'll let you browse without bugging you. On the other hand, if you want their help, they'll really try. If you find something you like and buy it, they'll say thank-you. If you don't, they'll say thank-you too. And if it should happen (though we try not to let it) that we don't have the dress you want in the size you .wear, we'll do everything to get it as pronto as possible. If you'd like to leave a store wearing a smile on your face, see us.

Operationally ,the pro gram allows Columbians to study at American universities w h i 1 e it pro vides North American professors to v Columbia. THERE ARE eleven Columbians on the program now at the university. Colwell said the program is funded by the United States Agency for In ternational Development (USAID), Ford Foundation, Kellogg Foundation and the Columbian Government. USAID contributes the greatest share of cost $1 million per year. Under this program there are 35 professors from the U.S. in Columbia teaching and participating in research. The Columbian sudents commit themselves to their government for three years for every year they study in the U.S. COLWELL said that no Nebraska tax dollars go into this program since it is financed solely by the agencies. The University Mission in Atturk, Turkey, began with the "Point Four" program of technical aid in 1948-1949. The purpose of this program was to build a four year agricultural col lege staffed by natives in Erzurum, Turkey. This program involved the University for 13 years (1955-68), and has just been completed. The University has served as ad ministrative director for all programs. r . 11 .111-1 - ' -tv M:-- "-vr Mm yMW, it M i)t i A pretty girl is like a melody ... or a scene from a Greek tragedy.

That's why we have a two year Rotation Program for graduating engineers who would prefer to explore several technical areas. And that's why many of our areas are organ ized by function rather than by project. At Hughes, you might work on spacecraft, communi cations satellites andor tacti cal missiles during your first two years. All you need is an EE, ME or Physics degree and talent. fern, ' If you qualify, we'll arrange for you to work on several different assignments. ..and you can help pick them.
