It is not very often that stu dents stop to realize that there are over 3,000 students partici pating in the exchange program both here and overseas. To be exact, there are 3,344 of these people. This program, indeed, has made a spectacular growth in the past year, vcording to Kenneth Hol land, president of the Institute of International Education, there has been an increase of 1,000 per sons taking part in this ex change, since 1949. This institute is a central pri vate agency in the United States dealing with a two-way exchange of students, teachers, and special ists between the United States and foreign countries. Colorful Purposes The range of people taking part in these exchange programs, says Mr. Holland, is wide and colorful, Technicians from Korea are here for practical mechanical training, At the same time, there are Americans abroad in teaching posts at French secondary schools and universities. Some of them are in British summer schools. while others are in Bavaria on the first scholarships offered by the new German government. Finns have come here on funds made available by Congressional action on the Finnish war debt. Great Britain has sent engineers to the United States for advanced study and industrial experience aimed at increasing British pro ductivity. Fulbright Act Aids Then, too, the Fulbright Act has made it possible for Amer ican graduate students to study abroad in 18 countries. In return, Europe has sent some of her prominent lecturers on extended speaking tours in the United States. On top of that, 500 Ger man students and teachers have come for a year of acquaintance with American institutions and way of life. Britain and the United States also have been exchanging de bating talent. The Oxford de bating team has visited 26 Amer ican universities arguing subjects such as "The British Empire Is Decadent." In turn, an American debating team in England has taken the negative on "Nation alization of Basic Industries." Witness Democracy Also, Japanese leaders have made two or three month obser vation tours to see American de mocracy at work. They visited the polls, the courts, industry, the church and the home. People have come to this coun try from 66 places on the globe, There are 2,601 of them in all, the greatest numbers coming from Germany, Japan, Austria and i ranee. A total of 743 Americans are studying abroad. There are 577 of these who are on Fulbright government scholarships. Most of tnem have been studying in France, the United Kingdom and Italy. The U. S. government expan sion of government programs has piayea a major role in the sud den increase of educational ex changes. This factor has brought Germans, Austrians and Japanese to this country. African Interest Because of a rapidly growing interest on the part of African students in studying at U.S. col leges, the Institute established an African division last year. On the other hand, 'the programs for Latin America have diminished considerably. The report lists no students from Czechoslovakia and Hungary for the first time in many years. ! In the years to come, the maior jod oi tne Institute will be to em phasize the problem of leadership in the free nations and those that have been recently established. The institute is qualified in this respect to play an important role in supplying the specific needs of certain countries in the form of trained leadership. It includes such fields as industry, labor, agriculture, religion, law, jour nalism, youth activities and pub lic administration.

At Age Experimental Meet Missouri Basin Program Topic A stepped-up agricultural re search program is needed to get facts necessary for guiding the orderly development of the Mis souri Basin agricultural program. Dr. W. V. Lambert said Thurs day, i The University college of ag riculture dean addressed the opening session of the agricul tural experiment station work ers' annual conference on the Lincoln campus. Experiment sta tion personnel are here for the Scottsbluff, Alliance, North Platte and Valentine substations and the Fort Robinson cattle research sta tion for a two-day meeting. Dean Lambert Speaks Dean Lambert outlined re search imder way and accom plishments of the experiment sta tions. He pointed out, however, many areas where new facts are needed to help farmers with per plexing problems. Under emerg ency conditions, he said, the solv ing of many of the problems be comes more urgent. Dean Lambert said that im proved strains of grasses and le gumes need to be developed, al though considerable progress has been made in that direction. He pointed to the development of new varieties of bromegrass by me university recently. Soil Conservation Expert Fred Hamilton, soil conversa tion service research engineer at the University, outlined the in vestigation accomplishments and problems connected with irriga tion which is accompanying Mis souri Basin development before University research workers. Gladwin Young, of the U. S. Department of - Agriculture and author of the Young Plan for Missouri Basin development, spoke on the importance of that program to agriculture.

The following morlea are aoeonntt taken from papers which Wilcox wrote dorlnR his spare time. In off-duty moments, to serve as memoirs of his stay In Korea.) By George Wilcox This morning I journied to Hwasun gun, Hwasun Coal Mines, in the past few months, the main sore spot in current riot affairs of Challa Namdo province. This trip was official business for a change, since observed as a representative of the Commerce and Industry sec tion of American Military Gov ernment the annual Hwasun mine festival One year and one month an nually, the Hwasun mines hold this festival in commemoration of lal miners who died in the line of duty working in the mines. This memorial day is to the Korean miners of Hwasun the same as it is to the Ameri cans of the United States when on May 31, Memorial Day, all Americans honor the dead. Altar Sacrifices Our party arrived late and assembled before a pine bough altar bum at the step of a tow ering mountain where the min ers of Hwasun stood in precise rank formation, ill-clad, covered with coal dust and shivering from the brisk January cold. The altar was covered with sac rifices dear to the Korean. Cakes, apples, pears, chunks of beef, cups of saki and other Korean assorted foods. In front of these delicacies was a char coal blazier emitting a faint Oriental incense aroma. Behind the altar was the sacred "mount" and steps of granite were cut into the sides. On four directions to the top where high above the mines and village so goes the legend, dwell the spirits of the killed miners observing all living life below. Religious Ceremonies The religious ceremonies were brief and mysterious m true sense. Conducted in Buddhist fashion (Buddhism is the num ber one religion of Korea) rice husks dipped in holy oil were occasionally dipped into the in cense blazier which flared . and smoked to the chant of the Buddhist priest and the prayers of the multitude. After the ceremonies, Chu, the Korean chief. Bureau of Domes tic Commerce gave a short talk followed by the provincial police chief who spoke on the recent riots of the Hwasun miners and who now were working in peace with AMG and increasing pro duction over past totals. He mentioned the sad state of the policemen who must enforce law and order and yet sympathize with his native countrymen. Following the provincial police chief's talk the festival re journed with mine officials and our party to the Hwasun mine main office where a typical Ko rean dinner was offered. What a feast! And to top the climax, no knife, fork or spoon! If a westerner was at anytime more embarrassed than your truly, it was yours truly! Tricky Chopsticks Out of desperation. I was ini tiated into the simple habit of using chopsticks which slipped the food and a number of duties the chopsticks should have per formed but didn't! The menu was typical Korean with fish, rice, eggs, apples, pork and beef meat and saki all prepared in native fashion. Little chunks of beef delicately chopped up and fried with fat was the favorite dish for me in the many concoctions offered, while the native Koreans seemed to favor fish skin (cooked hard) intestines, livers, and small par ticles of meat with pepper sauce. Soup was served in nativa fashion in the middle course of the meal. Then 'Bottoms Up' The Korean custom of passing the saki cup is quite an unusual custom and usually can lead to a good hangover. First of all, the host gives his saki cup to you which you immediately drink "bottoms up." and hand back to your host who in turn drinks out of the same cup "bottoms up." Then the next host hands you his cup to drink a toast, and the next, and the next until your head is quite dizzy. The passing of the cups is an old Korean custom hundreds of years old, so you can hardly quit drinking without offending your host. When festival time comes again next year, if fate does not inter vene, yours truly will not be able to appear again as a representa tive of American Military Gov ernment due to the fact of an Army discharge. All in all, it was pleasant party.
