Lav College
Dean Former
Oxford Man
Head of the local school of
' briefs and torts is Edmund O.
Belsheim, Dean of the Law Col
lege. He first came to the Uni
versity as an instructor in 1946
and assumed his present position
!in June 1949.
Belsheim graduated from the
University of North Dakota in
1927, then took off for three years
in England as a Rhoades Scholar.
He attended Oxford university,
more specifically St. John's Col
lege. He found the English system
of education vastly different and
highly enjoyable. The day in the
life of a student would go some
thing like this: studies and con
ferences with tutors in the morn
ing; afternoons free for study, re
creation, or bull sessions; formal
dinner and hitting the books at
night.
Boating Team
For an extracurricular activity,
Belsheim rowed for St. John's on
the boating team. "English sports
aren't as highly competitive as
American sports," he reports.
After a pleasant row on the
river, one came back to the boat
house for a cup of tea.
The elastic English system pro
vides plenty of time for student
trips, in which the young men
go for trips, taking their books
along. Study is part of the vaca
tion plans. On such trips, Bel
sheim and his friends toured
Belgium, France, Germany, and
got as far afield as Italy and
Egypt.
Back in America by '31, Dean
Belsheim completed studies at
Chicago and began a career that
would include private practice.
His main efforts have included a
teaching career at the University
of Tennessee, University of Vir
ginia, and finally Nebraska.
"I wanted to find out what the
government was like," relates
Belsheim. To do so, he did legal
work with the Treasury Depart
ment's Comptroller of Currency.
That was in 1939. By 1943 he was
with the Board of Economic War
fare. His job at that time in
cluded preparing contracts and
negotiating with representatives
of foreign business and mining
concerns. His years of varied ex
perience have made Dean Bel
sheim noted as an authority in
the fields of property and busi
ness organizing.

Morning Sob Song Familiar
To All 8 O'clock Scholars
By Donna Prescott
"Oh how I hate to get up in
the morning!"
This is a familiar line from a
well known Berlin tune and
can be adapted to persons on the
campus who have 8 o'clock
classes.
These unfortunate students
"hit the deck" from the whis
pers of the call pledge at 7 a.m.,
and touch their warm feet to the
floor that feels like a cake of dry
ice. Where are the slippers or
old pair of comfy shoes that
were placed on the floor conven
iently to drop your feet into.
Why, your buddy kicked them
under his bed when he rolled in
about 1 a.m. last night. So up
you go to the door on your toes
or "else you walk flat footed
with your toes sticking up in
front like a pair of elf shoes.
How do you get the door open?
The knob just turns and there
you stand just freezing. Finally
after a few choice words the
door comes open and you slip
out Quietly and bang the door
behind you.
Cheerful Whistle
As you stagger down the hall
to your cubby hole, a cheerful
whistle comes from the shower
room. How- can anyone be so
cheerful at 7:05 in the morning?
Still not awake, and half
blinded by the light of a new
day, you smell a terific odor.
What is it? Breakfast is on the
skillit sausage, eggs, pancakes.
Following, your nose to the
kitchen the cook is asked,
"What's cookin? "
The orange juice is nearly
gone, the coffee is down to the
bottom of the pot, and your toast
is burned. This is not your day!
But you struggle through and
eventually feel awake enough to
wind your way back up the
stairs and shave or put on a
face for the day.
Amidst the calls for borrowed
clothing you find the ironing
board is busy and there is &
waiting line 'til E. You disgust
ingly look for something else to
wear; maybe that reliable old
skirt and sweater.
The boys, after cuttting off the
left-over five o'clock shadow,
find that the shirt they wore last
night has a lipstick smudge on it
and it was-the last clean shirt.
. So back to the usual blue sweater
fcnd Navy trousers.
By the time the Carillon
Tower sounds out 10 minutes be
fore the hour you're on the way
out th door. You wonder if you

LAW COLLEGE DEAN Edmund O. Belsheim consults a book
from his office shelves. Chances are that it is a legal volume. Dean
Belsheim has years of experience in private practice, government
service and the educational field. He was an active worker in es
tablishing the Legal Aid bureau that operates on the Law College
premises. (Rag Photo by Rod Riggs.)
sheim has been active in the
establishment of the Legal Aid
Bureau, which provides assis
tance to citizens unable to hire
a lawyer. The bureau was formed
by the law college in co-operation
with the Lincoln Bar Association
and the Barrister's Club.
Applications for legal aid are
made by the needy, and the mer
its of the cases are considered by
a law student designated to study
the case. If assistance is given, a
local attorneys handles the case
while the law student works with
him.
Applicants may be young wives
having husband trouble, or per
haps tenants having landlord
trouble. Most cases are referred
to the Legal Aid bureau by local
welfare agencies.

Three Students
Hold National
ROTC Posts
'Three University ROTC stu
dents are among the holders of
national headquarters positions.
They are: James M. Wroth,
James M. Rosenquist, and James
S. Tighe.
Wroth has been In national
headquarters since October 1948
when he was assigned to PIO
section as a pledge. The following
year he was promoted first to
the rank of captain and later
major.
General Wroth is a senior,
majoring in advertising in the
School of Business Administra
tion. He is a member of Alpha
Kappa Psi, Beta Gamma Sigma
and Kappa Alpha Mu honorary
societies, and has received the
Field Artillery association award
as outstanding field artillery stu
dent and the 40 et 8 award for
high scholastic average.
In the Army ROTC course,
Wroth has been appointed regi
mental commander with the rank
of cadet colonel.
Rosenquist has been a member
of the national headquarters for
the past two semesters. Entering
first as a pledge he attained the
rank of second lieutenant in
November 1B49. He rose to rank
of major and was assistant to the
adjutant last semester.
Transfering from Creighton
university in his junior year,
Rosenquist is now a senior in the
School of Business Administra
tion. He is a member of Delta
Tau P2?ta fraternity and Scab
bard and Blade, past commander
of the Legion de Fusiliers, and
holds the Frankfortor infantry
medal.
Tighe came to national head
quarters in 1948 entering as a
second lieutenant. In one se
mester he was promoted to cap
tain and in another half semester
had become major.
He is now a junior in architec
tural engineering, member of
Thcta Xi and Arnold Air society
and is pledged to Scabbard and
Blade.
NU Hour Dances
Provide Oddities
Campus hour dances result in
some odd and embarrasing situa
tions. Recently at one of the events,
the coed was asked by her part
ner what year she was in college.
To vary the conversation, she
replied: "Guess."
When the fellow guessed her
as a sophomore, she nodded and
said ' he certainly "was a fine
judge."
To this the lad said: "Well,
I have done an awfully lot of
livestock judging."
THE
P1
Dry Humor
Noted for his quiet smile and
dry humor, the Dean is popular
with the young legal eagles
studying under him. He occasion
al spends a relaxing evening
with the Phi Alphi Delta legal
fraternity members.
"My family is my relaxation,"
he said, when asked about hob
bies. That family consists of his
wile Elizabeth and two small
daughters, Karen and Helen.
That's the story on the chief
mentor to the law students, who
sometimes let the hours spent
among dusty legal volumes get
them down. We wonder if Dean
Belsheim has heard the story
about one of his students, who
was being given some advice by
a buddy.
"You treated this girl fine,"
said the buddy. "But when you
talk to her you sound like you
were presenting a law case!"

Tsi Stehr, Native Of Berlin,
Tells Of War
Being a member of a German
Quaker family made it especially
hard for Isi Stehr to become ac
customed to the Nazi regime dur
ing World War II.
"That is what I disliked most
about the war period," she said
in an interview Wednesday. Miss
Stehr, who is visiting American
college and university campuses
as a member of the World Stu
dent Service committee to ex
plain the work in fields of help
ing students of all countries, was
enrolled at the University of Ber
lin from 1940 to 1945.
Not Party Member
A student of French interpre
tation and foreign politics, Miss
Stehr never joined any national
ist socialist party, even during
,the Nazi reign. While attending
school, Miss Stehr says: "One
reason I worked and kept es
pecially busy was to have an ex
cuse not to become a member."
She worked in jobs from a
cook's position to assisting a re
search professor who was work
ing on the history and philosophy
of medicine. She particularly
liked the last job because the
professor was an oculist and by
assisting him she came in con
tact with many people.
Buildings Destroyed
Going to school in Berlin, ac
cording to Hiss Stehr, was un
like attending schools in -the
United States during that pe
riod. "Every day," she said, "it
would seem like another build
ing had been destroyed by
bombs."
When she was taking her fi
nal test for a master's degree,
six-hours-a-day week project,
she appeared one morning to
take the test and found that the
building was gone, With Miss
Stehr, leading the group of 12,
including the instructor, they
took the exam at her home. An
other time they took the oral
exam in a private home because
the building had been destroyed.
Commenting on the attitudes of
Germans during the war, Miss
Stehr said it was especially hard
to take because it was happening
in our own country. "I had
mixed feelings," Miss Stehr
continued, "because first of all,
I had a feeling of guilt knowing
I belonged to the country in
which the regime existed; I also
had a sense of duty to do .some
thing to carry out my own ideas."
Spies Everywhere
This, however, she reflected,
was of course impossible. One
important factor of the nazi
system was the spies, she said
"We never knew who might be a
spy in the classroom," she pointed
out, "and because of this the in
structors had to be careful of
what they taught. Only the most
extraordinary ones could get
away with saying anything
against the regime,"
"One professor we had," she
continued, "was a son of a
prominent German professor,
but when he began to speak ad
versly about the regime was ar
rested, taken to a concentration
camp and eventually killed."
He had been particularly
popular with the students. Miss
Stehr pointed out. "We even
would keep him 20 minutes lon
ger than class to hear him speak."

SPONSORS CONTEST Singer
Jo Stafford is offering a series
of cash prizes in a contest for
college student collections of
American folklore. The contest
is sponsored in an attempt to
help students collect and pre
serve native culture.
Experiences
news of the war's end reached
them, she said, "It really didn't
make much difference what was
happening on the higher political
scene what we were chiefly in
terested in was our work and
getting food and water."
Upon arriving in .the United
States, Miss Stehr says she
wasn't particularly impressed
even by the New York skyline.
"Everything has been just as I
expected it to be," she says.
Lives Wth Families
Miss Stehr believes that in
order to fully understand people
of another country, one must
live with them and learn about
the cultural backgrounds. For
that reason she. never lives in a
dormitory or international house,
but rather in a private home.
Alter her tours in the United
States, Miss Stehr will resume
work with USSC in Western
Germany near Frankfort. Since
her arrival in this country she
has been studying at the Univer
sities of Chicago and Illinois.
She will sail for Europe Jan, 5.
Lepley Calls
For Swimmers
' Coach Hollie Lepley has given
his second call for varsity swim
mers. All men interested in trying
out for the team should see Lep
ley between 3:45 and 5:15 p.m.
Monday in the Coliseum pool.
All swimmers are welcome to
attend the first workout of the
season on Monday evening, Oc
tober 8, at the pool.
These swimmers will form the
nucleus of the 1950-51 season.
The early start will give every
one a chance to get good con
dition plus the added benefits
of coaching and practice.
There ere plenty of openings
on the team and every man will
be given a full opportunity to
prove his ability.
Ws Happened Here , .
With just about one month of
school under belts, most of the
newness of school has worn off
to the new students but the frosh
still make it to their 8 o'clocks
at 8 o'clock and the seniors have
yet to make it on time since they
were a freshman.
Looking into the Crib the other
day, I saw a couple on their first
coke date that was 9 o'clock.
There being a booth open beside
them, I sat down. By 9:15, the
girl had finally gotten the name
out of the shy boy.
By 9:30, the boy had finally
learned the girl's name. At 9:45,
they had a date made for Sunday
night. At 10 the girl introduced
the boy to her friends, saying:
"I'd like you to meet an old
friend of mine. Oh! Excuse me,
but I have forgotten your name."
"What is home without a mother?"
Asked the boy with a sigh.
"I am tonight," replied the blonde.
And winked a wicked eye.
