MARY PRINCE By SALLY ADAMS News Editor Mrs. Mary Prince, Chairman of Nebraska's Board ol control, made clear Saturday that she had no intention of directing what the University should include in its curriculum of social work train ing.

This is one of the conclusions reached by Guy Halferty, in his work as information specialist for the U. S. state department in Malaya. He addressed NUCWA's bi-monthly meeting in the Union, Thursday. Halferty said that Commu nists in Southeast Asia don't bother to lie about the United States. They simply take our weak points, magnify them and enread them.

When the Cicero inci dent involving Negroes thrown out of an apartment was piayea up on the front page of a Singapore newspaper the damage was done, Halferty stated. It didn't do any good to assert that the Governor of Connecticult had said, "Thank God that Cicero is not American." and that the family had been taken into another New York com munity.

"Of course," she said, "I i would never have the termerity to suggest such a thing. The determination of the curriculum is something for the educators to do.? Mrs. Prince explained that the Board of Control at present is in the process of revamping the job requirements for people it hires to help operate the public assistance program in Nebraska. This, she said, is part of general reorganization plan being effected within the Board's agencies. It is the opinion of the Board, she said, that many of the public assistance jobs can fee adequately 'filled by people who have had un dergraduate training in social work. Before the Board launched its present program of reorganization, several of its positions were neici by persons who had received grad uate training in the social work field. "We are trying to attract young people to the program," she said, "and are placing importance on experience n 1 u s undergraduate U dining This, she said, explains the Board's interest in undergradu ate training of social workers.

This is one basis for having a graduate school of social work, Dr. Frank Z. Glick, -director of the University's school, explained Saturday. It is at the graduate level that the "skills, philosophy and information of social work" are learned, he said. Students en rolled in the pre-professional or undergraduate program at the University take those courses leading to a group major in so cial welfare, he said.

Mrs. Prince summarized the Board's position as follows: First, The Board of Control at present is engaged in the reorgan ization of the assistance depart ment. The. aim of the reorgani zation is to facilitate the work ings of the assistance program atj courses include sociology, his tory, psychology, and economics, political science and the bio logical sciences, Dr. Glick ex plained. It is not until the sen ior year that students take any work in the School of Social Work. Dr. Glick said, "Good private agencies universally require graduate training." However, he went, on to say that persons with only undergraduate training "can get jobs in the lower classifica tions of public assistance work in almost any state." "We do a good bit of job find ing for our graduates," the direc tor said.

Bogar, Lincoln high school prin cipal, said in the opening address of the leadership conference Sat urday morning. Speaking to approximately 80 people in the Union ballroom, Bo gar stressed the qualities of dem ocratic leaders. He stated that since a great deal of research to day is being, done in group proc esses, leadership, too, is defined in terms of group associations. Bogar said that the three fun damental concepts for a demo cratic leader to keep in mind are:! (1) Every individual in society! has intrinsic worth. (2) Individu als cannot live urto themselves alone. (3) Individuals can arrive at better tolutiom to Pttem!:"J11'SJ", S ssy way Ihrnmrh fri.nrilv iw..gin. . PUJOT OI me easy W.y, continuous study. The significant aspects of leadership, Bogar said, are (1) it deals with efforts of people, (2) it is based on ability to guide, help, work with and for the group, (3) it depends on willingness of followers to fol low and, in a sense, for the leaders to follow his followers and (4) the leader must be close to and available to his followers. "The leader emerges as a means of obtaining objectives desired by the group," Bogar said. Leaders are of three types objects of identification, objects of drive and i ego support of members of the group. Bogar said that the last type can be an organizer, seducer, hero, bad influence or bad ex ample. Bogar stated that research shows that a "goodly number of people respond to leadership which is friendly" and which will make all decisions. He said that a group under such a leadership is apt to disintegrate in absence of the leader, since they would be incapable of making any deci sions. A democratic leader, Bogar s4, must have plans that grow out of recombination of the group. Be must realize that members of the group must have consciousness of their abilities and duties, and be must help them to be able to accept both success and fail ures. Bogar said that a demo cratic leader needs certain poli cies and beliefs which do not include self-gains or self-glory, always keeping in mind the virtues of humility and sin cerity. Bogar said thai a leader must "create a climate of good feel- ine" and that the same care must be given to favorable growth of eroups as is given to plants wnen they are being cultivated. "Important to the direction of any etoup Is the matter of time perspective. We work best if there is a sense of progressing toward our goals," he said. Bogar said mere are seven areas in which leaders need to acquire skill. They are: "(1) The leader must pe con tinuously assessing his personal motivation and relationship to the group with which he is working. "(2) The second skill area is in five Members Of Faculty Represented In Exhibition Five members of the Univer sity's art faculty are represented in the second biennial midwest exhibition which opened Feb. 12 at Joslyn art museum in Omaha.

While the state has the responsibility for super vising the assistance program, it is at the county level where the program is administered, Mrs. Prince explained. Second, in carrying out its reorganization of the assistance department, the Board is re writing the job descriptions, in- welfare until this year." He explained that there are quite a few members . of the staff of the state public welfare department who were trained in the University's Graduate School of Social Work. At the present time there are SO full-time students enrolled in the graduate social work program, Dr. Glick said, and about an eaual number of part time students. Most of these students are gradu ates oi Nebraska colleges, he said. He estimated, on the basis of his previous experience, that about half of these students will remain in the state working for public and private welfare agen cies when they complete their training.

"(4) Deciding upon the prob lems, involving others in the decision, planning action and practicing plans. "(5) Carrying out the plan suc cessfully and productively. "(6) Evaluation as an assess ment of progress, methods of working and thinking, and human relations. ! "(7) Continuing, spreading and maintaining accomplished changes."

It is to the coun ty level, Mrs. Prince explained, that the Board is especially in terested in attracting young people with undergraduate training plus experience. Third, in view of the reorgani zation program, including the re writing of job descriptions, the Board is interested in the under graduate programs in Nebraska which will be producing the peo ple needed in assistance work, Mrs. Prince stressed, however, that though, the Board is interested in the undergraduate programs "we do not propose to draft those programs that is up to edu cators." Mrs. Prince explained that in the past the Board of Control has cooperated with the University of Nebraska's Graduate School of Social Work training program. . Up until about a year ago, graduate students of the school received experience in handl ing casework by working in the Lancaster County Assistance , Bureau. Last year, however, that "in service" training program was abandoned for two chief reasons, Mrs. Prince said. First, the work of the students was subject to su pervision by a representative of the school, without regard for the opinions of bureau officers, and, second, because its operation Droved confusing and impractical. A student, Mrs. Prince explained, infinite worth. Leaders must be able to "put yourself in other person's skin instead of other person's sioe " Bogar said, and work from there.

The funeral cortege brought the king's body from Westmin ster Hall in London to the ancient burial place of kings in St George's Chapel. An estimated two million persons lined the streets of London to pay their respects to the dead monarch. All the pageantry and symbolism of the British crown was displayed during the burial ceremonies. Scottish pipers skirled laments and the king's artillery detachment fired a 56-gun salute one gun for each of the king's 56 years. About 1,500 persons witnessed the actual funeral ceremonies Including some of Britain's greatest royalty, nobility, statesmen and soldiers. Distinguished persons from all over the world were presen't, including American Secretary of State Dean Acheson and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. ELIZABETH n was proclaimed queen upon the death of her father. The 25 year old queen is the first woman sovereign Britain has had since the reign of Victoria, 51 years ago. Popular superstition in Britain says that the empire prospers under a queen. 1 "The new queen has declared several months of national mourning after which she will be coronated in all the tradition of the British court . "JOHN DOE" appeared before a congressional committee to describe the massacre of 200 Polish army officers near Katyn, Poland in 1939. Using this psuedonym and wearing a white hood, the witness for all practical purposes remained an unknown person. The only information released by the committee con cerning the man was that he is a former Polish officer. The eyewitness stated that he hid in a tree near the ditch where the Russians shot 200 of his fellow officers. He later man aged to make good his escape to this country. The committee is investigating the possibility that the murder of 4,000 Poles at Katyn was not the result of German atrocities as originally thought but the handiwork of the Russians who rigged the evidence to lay the blame on the Germans. ELLIS ARNALL, former governor of Georgia, received the appointment to succeed Mike DiSalle as price stabilizer. Arnall is a liberal who sometimes angered elements of southern politics with such reforms as abolition of the poll tax, and elimination of chain gangs in Georgia prisons. In contrast to jovial Mike DiSalle, Arnall is a serious politi cian. In accepting the price stabilization job he stated that "te America someone must be willing to perform the dilfkult but tough, unpopular and thankless tasks." ' MAJ. GEORGE A.
