Such applicants should notify Ken Keller, adviser on Student publications. Nominations must be turned in to The Daily Nebraskan office by 5 n.m. Wednesday. Each nomi nation must be a written state ment of the nominee's qualifica tions for the honor as evidence of his service to the University. Methuselah was nominated for the award because of "his contri butions not only to the Univer sity but to the whole state. In his role as a sort of an ambassa dor from India, he has been do ing a tremendous job speaking to various groups and acquainting them with some of the thought and feeling and background of his own country." "Any time a person is able to do this he has engendered a great respect for himself and his coun try among a large number of people." The letter nominating Miss Steffen said: "The achievements of her college career sufficiently speak for her qualifications for Outstanding Nebraskan." "In naming her Mortar Board president, the retiring Mortar Board members recognized her ability 'to lead and her capacity for new ideas. As president of the AWS Board, her ability to weigh evidence on the basis of its merit and not to be influenced by personal prejudice is accepted by the woman on campus. "Her 8-plus weighted average, her fine performance as mistress of ceremonies at both the Coed Follies and the Honors Banquet, and her friendly personality should be pointed out."

"Eventually we hope to raise the average to a 6. nominee. Dr. Hixson as "one of the most progressive administra tive officials the Ag College has had." "Always a supporter of Ag campus functions, Dr. Hixson serves as faculty advisor for two honorary organizations. Because of his interest in students' prob lems, he was one of the leaders who favored the gripe sessions to imnrove the college." "Dr. Hixson has worked hard on the courses at the College of Agriculture to make them more beneficial to the students. I think this would be a splendid oppor tunity to pay tribute to an Out standing Nebraskan and a fellow Cornhusker." Rosenquist, the first nominee, was nominated because: "He has not only excelled in extra-cur ricular activities but has main tained high scholarship for four years." Stepanek was nominated be cause of "his devotion to his stu dents, his work daily to prepare lectures for them, and interest in reading the papers they turn in." The letter nominating Miss Raymond said: "Through her work as first semester editor of The Daily Nebraskan, Ruth de fended the right of our professors and students to be free of any dogmatic indoctrination and through her editorials has helped them maintain tneir ireedom in the classroom to examine criti cally all that they 6tudy."
