If the citizens of Nebraska think
they're a chosen few, they're very
wrong.
There have been millions and
billions before them. Even as far
back as 8,000 to 10,000 years ago,
there were Nebraskans.
E. Mott Davis, University
Museum anthropologist, gives
the proof. Although these people
probably didn't know there
were such things as Nebraskans.
Davis has discovered actual evi
dence to indicate they existed
in this territory.
A campsite occupied by humans
intermittently during a period of
8,000 years ago was uncovered
near Medicine Creek in Frontier
county. Davis also reported find
ing the campsites buried at eight
different levels in an embankment
bordering the reservoir created by
the dam on this creek.
The topmost campsite, he said,
is 13 feet above the lowest one.
Most likely the site was attrac
tive to tribes who lived in the
area because it offered wind pro
tection and was apparently in a
good region for bison hunting.
Large deposits of jasper, a flint
like stone, provided them the raw
materials to make arrow or spear
points, knives and scrapers.
The litter found in one of the
campsites, according to Davis,
is of rarticular scientific in
terest. This debris partially con
sits of spear or dart points
which are similar to those found
in Texas, Colorado and else
where in Nebraska.
These points provide scientists
with another bit of evidence in
tracing the migrations and liv
ing habits of these ancient Ne
braska tribesmen.
The campsites, said Dr. C. B.
Schultz, Museum director, con
tained fossilized remains of many
animals which provided food for
the tribesmen. Dr. Schultz has
been in general charge of the
Medicine Creek project for the
past several years.
The animals to which Schultz
referred were badgers and weas
els, much like those found in Ne
braska today. Other animal types,
now extinct, included prairie dogs
larger than those of today, prong
ed antelope large than present
types and bison with longer horns
and larger skulls than the type
first seen by white men in the
Great Plains.
Aside from Davis, the Medi
cine Creek field part included
Sidney A. Ash, Torben Nielsen,
George M. Rabe, Robert G.
Schipf, Neal E. Wilson, John
Larger, Bruce R. Minteer, Nor
man G. Schwenk, Philip Seff,
David W. Stubbs and David B.
Williams.
During the summer, the Mu
seum also had another field
party stationed at Fort Robin
son, Neb. It was headed by
Lloyd G. Tanner, a Museum
staff member.
The party included Dr. Robert
,S. Junge of Julesburg, Colo., and
'the following students: Jerry
Folsom, Cyril H. Harvey and
Allen D. Smidt.
This group investigated deposits
of prehistoric animals at Wildcat'
Ridge in western Nebraska. Thej
sites 'were near Hebron, Nemaha
and Pawnee City. I

his theories, he said, "My theory
is not to tell my theories until I
get to the United Nations."
He believes that it will not be
possible to extend peace until all
the countries of the world know
each other. "Until that time," said
Khodoyai, "absolute peace is be
yond reach."
Khodoyai will speak at the first
meeting of NUCWA Thursday at
7 p. m.
"I am very happy to be asked
to speak to the students of the
University," he said. "I will try
to explain about the people of the
Middle East at the NUCWA meeting."
"You people are very generous
but you do not know what the
people of the Middle East and
Far East think, or how they think.
"I want to tell you about the
American policy in my country
and what is wrong with her pol
icy. I will also explain the British
and Iranian policy."
Khodoyai feels very strongly
about the British policy in the
East. He believes that that policy
will paralyze the economy of Iran
and for that reason has been fight
ing it as much as he can.
Two years ago Khodoyai
talked to Dr. Shayegan, prime
minister of Iran. In this confer
ence he proposed the national
ization of the Iranian oil fields.
This was the first time a pro
posal of this type had been
made and Dr. Shayegan received
it very enthusiastically.
Because of Khodoyai's proposal
and work that Dr. Shayegan, now
highest member of the Iran Oil
commission, did, great progress is
being made by Iran in the current
oil dispute.
Before arriving in this country
Khodoyai spoke French, Iranian
and Persian fluently. He has been
studying English for eight months
and understands it very well.
Monday, Prof. S. J. House asked
Khodoyai to talk during his poli
tical science class. Khodoyai ap
preciated the hour granted to him
at that time and gave a brief sum
mary of the state of affairs in
Iran. He is anticipating speaking
more fully at the NUCWA meet
ing tonight.
He was asked to tell the thing
he disliked most about the United
States.
"I can think of nothing I dis
like. It is a good place to be."
