cedureof action, the accomplish
ments, and the failings of this inter-national

cussed the "big power veto."
A detailed account of all the
major committees and how they
work was given, with special em
phasis put upon the workings of
UNESCO, the U NT's economic, so
cial, and cultural committee. Dvor
shak pointed out that the organ

the "sovereign equalities of na
tions," which are taken for
granted to be "peace loving."
Weaknesses.
Dvorshak expressed the major
weaknesses of the United Na
tions, as: 1 ) having no power over
individuals, but only being an or
ganization "whose members are
the sovereign states" as the U N
charter states, 2) having no more
than the power to "make treaties
with and make recommendations
to member nations."
Dvorshak also pointed out that

Achievement
Trophy Won
By Sorenson
Dr. Frank E. Sorenson, associ
ate professor of secondary educa
tion and school administration in
Teachers College, has been
awarded the 1946 Frank G.
Brewer trophy for achievement of
high distinction in the advance
ment of air age education for the
youth of America.
The announcement came in a
letter from Dr. H. W. Hurt, chair
man of the trophy committee.
Presentation of the award will be
made at the annual aviation
birthday banquet sponsored by
the Aero Club, Washington, D. C,
December 17.
National Recognition.
The award gives further na
tional recognition to the air age
education program developed in
Nebraska schools during the past
five years, according to Dr. Soren
son. "Although the award comes
to me, it really is an honor be
stowed upon the state departments
of public instruction and aeronau
tics, the State Education associa
tion, the University Teachers col
lege, and Nebraska public
schools," Dr. Sorenson said. "All
these agencies cooperated to give
Nebraska young people the finest
air age educational program in the
nation.
Nebraska Plan.
The Nebraska plan was born in
1940, when the United States was
in need of young pilots. At first
the emphasis was laid on pre
flight work, but soon the social
significance of air travel was
added to the course. In geography,
students were taught how the
polar routes brought the rest of
the world closer to us, and helped
in the spreading of cultures and
ideas, as well as of diseases.
Aerodynamics can be and i
taught in physics courses, and Ne
braska mathematics courses in
clude a section of navigation. "Air
age education should broaden the
concept of virtually every teach
er," Dr. Sorenson declared.
Experiments.
During the last five years, Ne
braska educational leaders have
been engaged in many aeronau
tical experiments to determine the
best method of teaching aviation
courses. These findings have been
transmitted to all parts of the
