Win Rag Citations
Chancellor R. G. Gustavson and Tom Novak have been
chosen the semester's outstanding Nebraskans by The Daily
Nebraskan staff.
The awards, given "for meritorious service in promoting
the welfare and spirit of the University of Nebraska and its
dents," was established by the
Rag for the first time this se
lected from nominations by stu
mester. The two recipients were se
dents and faculty members.
Chancellor Gustavson came to
the University in September,
1946. Since that time he has
brought almost endless credit to
the University and has worked
tirelessly for the betterment of its
students.
His attitude toward the Uni
versity can best be explained in
his own words: "The University
in the last analysis is not a group
of buildings, although buildings
are important. It is not the la
boratories, important as these
things are,. In a very real sense
it is a comradeship between the
people of the state, the faculty
and the staff of the University,
and the young people who are
preparing to assume life's great
est responsibilities."
Willing; to Help.
The Chancellor stated his will
ingness to cooperate with the
students when he said, "There is
always a place in my appointment
book for a student who wishes
to discuss his problems and those
of the Universits."
Dr. Gustavson is known inter
nationally for his research in
biochemistry and is one of the
nation's distinguished educators.
During the past semester he has
been honored by election to the
Royal Swedish Academy of En
gineering Sciences, the board of
trustees of the Carnegie Advance
ment of Teaching and the execu
tive committee of the Association
of Land Grant Colleges and Uni
versities. Other honors he has received
during recent years include: a
member of the National Founda
tion for Infantile Faralvsis, U. S.
delegate to the UNESCO world
conference in Mexico, member of
the national board of the Society
lor Crippled Children, a member

To Give Concert
Here in February
A preview of the new Stan Ken

Kenton, who begins his 1950
tour in Seattle Feb. 9, will ap
pear at the University enroute
to New York for concert ap
pearances. His appearance in
Lincoln is the only Nebraska
concert in his schedule.
The reorganization of Kenton's
band came from his belief that
his type of impressionistic music
could make a place for itself on
the concert stage. His former
dance bnad, while playing the
same type of music, was limited
by its size.
His schedule includes more than
70 cities and towns thruout the
United States.
Sponsored by the Union, the
committee in charge of promotion
is headed by Paul Weltchek. Other

by the Greek faction. During this
election the Council's election
rules became a big controversy.
Stronger Grips
The administration's revision of
the student affairs group finished
tenth as a news story. Under the
new set-up, various students and
faculty groups were shaken up,
the general result being a stronger
grip on student political action
by the administration of the Uni
versity. This was a story of Oc
tober. Two sports stories finished in
the first five. The naming of
Bill Glassford as head grid coach
drew enough votes for the runner-up
position. Three staff
members called it the biggest
campus story.
