Television
To Feature
Students
Nebraska students become
television stars! Well, maybe not
stars but there will be a few
twinkles on the campus Satur
day when Cornhuskers will be
seen on a pre-game telecast on
"Game Of the Week" over NBC
TV. Bruce Powell, NBC camera
man from Chicago, visited the
campus Monday in order to take
a series of shots of student life,
football practice and University
buildings. These movies will
comprise a fifteen minute pro
gram to be viewed before the
telecast of the Nebraska-Oregon
game.
THE FIRST part of the pro
gram will consist of pictures of
The Nebraskan and Cornhusker
staff members, student traffic, a
boy-girl scene, construction of
the Men's dormitory. Women's
Residence Halls. Love Library,
Chancellor John K. Selleck with
some students, the Social Science
building, the Agronomy building,
students in the Corn Crib and
research activity in the Institute
for Cellular Growth in the Col
lege of Agriculture.
Occupying the remainder of
the program will be pictures of
individual players m action and
Cornhusker football practice.
Cornhusker Sa les
Open, Price Upped
Orders are now being Jtaken
by Tassels and Corn Cobs for
the 1954 Cornhusker.
The price of the 1954 edition is
$5.50. The increased cost is due
to the rise of printing rates, ac
cording to Jay Benedict, Corn
husker business manager.
Students who have not yet
picked up their copy of the
1953 Cornhusker may do so upon
presentation of last year's pur
chase stub at the Cornhusker of
fice. Copies will be given out
until December 1, or until the
supply is exhausted. After De
cember 1, any 1953 editions left
in the Cornhusker office will go
on open sale.
naintine "The Blackboard,'' is
for sale in the art gallery book
shop. Colored prints, postcards,
inexpensive art books, and col
ored reproductions may be pur
chased from the book store,
which is being enlarged.

izations must file a Student Or

the Division of Student Affairs
ofice by Oct. 3.
Frank M. Hallgren, associate
dean of student affairs, made
this announcement Sept. 11.
Hallgren said the form was not
intended to cut down the num
ber ot student organizations on
the University campus, but to
"regularize and clarify" their
number and function.
The by-laws of the Univer
sity Regents empower the Com
mittee on Student Affairs to re
view student organizations, in
cluding sororities and fraterni
ties, Hallgren pointed out, but
this is the first year the Com
mittee has required organiza
tions to file. He added the fil
ing will be done annually after
this year.
THE FORMS state that any
organization, to be approved by
the Committee, must: "Conform

Hallgren said that, in the past,
many advisors did not know
what their organizations planned
to do during the school year.
He said the new forms carried
a sDace for the advisor of a
group to state they had con'
ferred with the officers of the
organization and understood
they were to advise the group
on university ruies ana reguia
tions governing its activities.
"This way," Hallgren said,
"the advisors will understand
their duties to the organization

able to function as they' should."

HALLGREN SAID the organ
izations will understand their
limitations; advisors will know
what they are to do; and the
University will know what

He noted that organizations

they will be given ample noti

New Habitat
In Nebraska Wild Life Hall
The newest habitat group in
the Hall of Nebraska Wild Life
was opened in Morrill Hall last
week.
The exhibit, third in a pro
posed series of 16, is a group of
pronghorn antelope, or "Antifo
capra Americana." The prong
horn, sole living representatives
of their family, are portrayed in
a summer scene on the slope of
a western Nebraska pine ridge.
Nathan Mohler, staff artist, ar
ranged the foreground; and Ins
Dougherty painted the back-
I ask what text they have been
using," Dr. Shelley smiled. In
variably the description is ex
tremely vague. He explained,
"It's usually something like "Oh,
it's a big red book with printing
on the cover."
Dr. Edwin M. Collins joins the
School of Dentistry after four
and one-half years in the army.
An instructor in oral pathology,
he is a graduate of the Univer
sity and took his pre-dental
training at the University of
Omaha. Dr. Collins noted that
the campus had changed consid
erably for the better, of course
since he was last here two
years ago.
STATIONED IN Korea, Japan
and the Philippines, tie had a
chance to observe Oriental den
tistry. In comparison, he found
Japanese dentists better than
Korean.
In Korea, there is a dentist
shortage; but in spite of meager
supplies and little training, most
Koreans have strong teeth. This
is not due to the dental treat
ment, but their diet of rice and
fish.
In Japan, the tendency is
toward women dentists. During
the war, a national decree or
dered everyone to work In some
essential job, and many women
turned to dentistry rather than
work in a factory. They are
eager to learn, Dr. Collins said,
and assisted in the American
clinics just for the experience.
In spite of the fact that most
Japanese dentists have never
used novocain there is no na
tional 'fear' of a dentist's chair
as in America. In fact, one man
that Dr. Collins treated enjoyed
the new experience of painless
dentistry so much that he
brought back his whole family
for the same treatment.

The Outside World .
Ike Breaks
Ag Pledge,
Demos Say
President Eisenhower has been
accused by Democrats of break
ing his 1952 campaign pledges to
the farmers. They believe that
because of the reaction the Re
publicans will lose control of
Congress next year.
The climax came Tuesday
night when Adlai Stevenson pre
sented his report of farm policies
on television. Stevenson's mo
tives were seconded by former
President Truman. Truman de
clared he feared Republican
handling of international affair!
is alienating U.S. Allies.
In connection with the farm
trouble, the summer White
House has labeled Stevenson's
criticism of the Eisenhower ad
ministration as "just and fury.'
The two men plan to confer
sometime soon and Stevenson
will report on his round-the-
world tour which he completed
recently.
Britain To Share Canal
In connection with a settle
ment with Egypt, Britain is re
ported ready to give up her old
role of sole guardian of the Suez
Canal.
After long discussions the two
countries have agreed that the
control of the Canal can be
shared. Both an Egyptian and a
Briton will be appointed to high
positions and will report to their
respective governments.
To Aid Or Not To Aid
The question of whether or
not to continue with foreign eco
nomic aid has raised much cur
rent debate in Washington.
Sinclair Weeks, Secretary of
Commerce, stated that the time
is past when this country could
create strength abroad by, "hand
outs". Also the question of spending
federal money - n Hliese foreign.
investments is another side of
the argument.
Citizenship Day Set
National Citizenship Day is
Thursday, Sept. 17. On this day
reports from the State Superin
tendent will be sent to parents
of children in public schools.
The objective of these reports
is to encourage relationship be
tween the home, church and
community and the develop
ment of good citizenship in each
child.
Group Opens
ground from an actual Nebraska
site.
THE WHOOPING Crane
group, opened early this spring,
contains one immature and two
adult birds at a typical sand hill
lake. There are only about two
dozen Whooping Cranes living
today, and these "Grus Ameri
cana" are in danger of extinc
tion. Funds for this display were
donated by professor D. D. Whit
ney, professor emeritis of zo
ology. "Lynx Rufus," or Bobcat, is
depicted in his natural surround
ings west of Harrisburg, Ne
braska, where the elevation is
the highest in the state. Thia
group was also opened this
spring.
The three completed groups
reproduce the natural habitat of
the animals as closely as pos
sible. Various naturalists checked
the plants, rocks, and topography
for accuracy. Funds for two of
the exhibits were contributed by
the Cooper foundation through,
the University foundation.
THE ELEPHANT hall in the
Morrill Hall museum is being ar
ranged to make room for a new
addition. The new mastadoon,
from Morrill county, is now be
ing mounted and will be on dis
play shortly.
Another change in the ele
phant domain is the new display
at the base of the central ele
phant group. Specimens of fos
sil mammoths and mastadoons
from 73 of the 93 counties tell
the story of elephant history in
Nebraska.
