Dean Lambert Returns to Ag
Post Following African Trip
Dr. W. V. Lambert, dean of the
College of Agriculture, is back at
his desk after a three month sur
vey of British territories in
Africa.
The dean said that he was
"gl.id to get back home" after a
21.000 mile trip by airplane, car
and rail through eight different
Alncan territories.
Then Dr. Lambert said that
some progress in increasing agri
cultural production and efficiency
is being made in Africa. The
need for more agricultural re
search was apparent and the
British are attempting to step up
this work.
Different From U. S.
"Africa is so different from the
United States that it is impossible
to generalize on its agriculture."
said Dr. Lambert. "Most of the
farming is of the primitive peas
ant type in which each family
farms at most only a few acres
and all of Ihe work is done by
hand with crude implements."
Contrasting farming1 In Africa
with that in Nebraska, Dean
Lambert said by our standards,
the level of living there is in
credibly low. The average cash
income is only a few dollars a
year. Demands though, are few.
Clothing requirements are simple.
Houses are built from poles, mud
and grass in most areas and
transportation is largely by foot.
Dr. Lambert and his party re
turned via I.ondon where they
spent several days putting to
gether their final report and
recommendations.
Kept Busy
Dr. Lambert was kept so busy
that it was virtually impossible
to do any sightseeing. One excep
tion was when his party was
driven through the frame reserve
near Nairobi. There they saw
giraffe, zebra, several types of
gazelle, baboons, ostrich and
hartebeasi.
"We also saw one group of 15
lions and drove within a few feet
of them." said Lambert. "I need
not say that we stayed in our
car."

After traveling 16,000 miles by
air alone on every type of plane
including bi-planes used prior
to World War II the dean said
that he was certainly glad to be
home.

fare, he said.
In reply to a question concern
ing NSA's influence on the Doane
College campus, Eggen said that
the organization is "weak in Kan
sas and Nebraska but we feel it
is growing."
Eggen conceded that NSA had
done nothing on the Doane cam
pus which the Student Council
could not have done, but added
that he felt further strength in
the region would make its pro
gram more effective. This
strength he believes must come
from schools like the University
of Nebraska.
Nationally the organization in
cludes about 300 schools and one
million members, Eggen said. It
is neither anti-Greek nor pro
communist, he added."
Rod Lindwall was appointed to
look into the NSA situation and
report on its possible contribu
tion to the University.
The council placed its stamp
of approval on the student mi
gration to Iowa State. The price
of tickets will be $14.75. The
train will leave Lincoln at 6 a. m,
Saturday and return early Sun
day morning. The plan must nor
be approved by a faculty com
mittee. Fred Chael was elected chair
man, of the council judiciary
committee to replace Don Stein
who failed to meet constitutional
qualification which stipulate that
the chairman must be a senior
