Wilson said he thought it was not necessary to give aid at any higher level" at this time. Wilson added that there was no Intention of sending American pilots to that area.

Replica Of Displayed in Lincoln Basilica Required The first true replica of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome known to many as the world's most beautiful church is on display until Saturday m Miller and Paine auditorium. It took Italy's foremost model maker, Attilio Savoia, and his son, Lucio more than three years of painstaking research to complete the model including climbing over most of the huge Cathedral taking thousands of photographs, notes, and sketches for an accurate set of plans. ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION of the model began in 1948 and re quired two years to complete. Upon its completion in the Holy Year, 1950, it was blessed by the Pope. The replica of Michelangelo's greatest work is 15 feet long, nine feet wide and 8 feet high. To depict the stone and marble portions of the Church, the Sa voia s carved more than 400,000 pieces of beech, birch and cir molo wood in micrometric ac curacy. THE BUILDERS copied the Basilica even to its Identical col orings. The grey weather mark ings found on the original build ing can be seen on the replica. Wherever metal was used in the original Church, built around Saint Peter's Tomb, the same metal was used in the Savoia model. The fountains were re created in bronze, while the lights were fashioned from brass. The model is complete with electric lights, miniature foun tains spouting water and a re cording of the actual ringing of the bells of the Basilica. THE REPLICA has been ex hibtfed in Rome and other Ital ian cities. In September, 1951, T 1f.in "Savnia hrrrfttrht the model - wu - w 0 J v n TTnitA1 KtatM fnr a na-1 tionwide tour. Lincoln is the last city included in the two and one half year tour of 45 cities. Lucio" studied five years at the University of Architecture in Rome. He gave up his studies to help his father construct the model, for the project required the lifesavings of the Savoias.

Volume 24, No. 51 h D t P New Big Seven Scholarship Ruling Sets Higher Grade Requirements Coach Bill Glassford told the Nebraskan today that he has made no proposal regarding grants-in-aid for athletes, except that the new Big Seven schol arship requirements be care fully used in screening new students entering the University. The new ruling, raising scho larship requirements, was initi ated the first of September and will go into effect at the Uni versity next fall. UNDER THE new require ments, students entering the University may be given grants in aid only if they rank in the upper two-thirds of their class. If the student does not meet St. Peters 3 Years Labor Lucio Savoia said that to com plete the project they sold their home and furniture. TWO DISTINCT types of ar chitecture went into the building of the original Church and are carried out faithfully in the Sa voia replica the Renaissance and Baroque styles. The main building is of the Renaissance style and the long colonades ex tending out from the main build ing are Baroque. These colonades are made up of 284 columns and 68 pillars. 140 statues representing the Popes, the Saints and the foun ders of the Religious Orders are on top of the Colonades. Statues of Christ and Apostles top the front of Cathedral. The statues on original Cathedral are 15 high. IN THE center of Saint the the the feet Pe- ter's Square, formed by the colo nades, is an Obelisk with a cross on top. The original Obelisk was brought from Eliopolis, the City of the Sun in Egypt. The interior of the Bronze Cross atop the Obelisk contains small pieces of the 'Wooden Cross' of the Cru cifixion and were placed inside the original in Rome in 1740. The Savoia's future plans in clude a return to Italy where Lucio will complete his work at the University of Architecture in Rome. Then father and son will begin plans to make an ex act replica of The Basilica of Saint Mark in Venice. Foundation Post Goes To NU Man The newly established Link Foundation has named Dr. Frank E.

Religion-ln-Life Committee Plans Study Group Seminar Religion-in-life committee will sponsor a seminar for study group leaders Saturday at 9:30 in the Union Faculty Lounge. Bruce Kendall, assistant pro fessor of speech and dramatic art, Crop Dusters Attend Meeting Seventy delegates attended the opening of the third annual Aerial Applicator's Conference Tuesday. The organization, which works in close conjunction with the Uni versity, is concerned with aerial control of insects and plant dis eases. Members of the University fac ulty who appeared on the pro gram were Dr. H. J. Ball, Leon Chesnin, Dr. R. E. Hill, and Dr. J. Livingston. James D. Ramsey spoke for the Nebraska Depart ment of Aeronautics. The conference closes Wednes- ffS this requirement, he may take a psychological examination. If he ranks in the upper half of freshmen students, he may be awarded a grant Glassford pointed out that any boy graduating from an accre dited high school was previously eligible for a giant from the University. STUDENTS ALREADY attending the University who apply for grants must have a four average and 60 per cent of their grades four or above. Glassford said that the re quirement was actually higher than a four. "For example," he said, "if a boy takes 15 hours and receives a nine in two courses and a three in the other nine hours he would be ineli gible. Although his average would be 5.4, he would not have 60 ter cent of fours." Glassford said he hoped the new ruling would raise the grades of athletes. The reason for the change, he said, was probably to give men an initia tive to make higher grades in school. However, he pointed out that the ruling would olace a burden on the men, and that they would have to do a better job in school. Glassford said a careful study of all high school seniors would be made before granting schol arships or grants-in-aid to insure that the students fell within the Big Seven require ments. "Should there be any doubt in our minds as to the qualifica tions of the boy, we are going to require him to take the examination to see if he can meet the scholastic require Registration For Religious Education To End Saturday Spring session classes of the Institute of Religion began Tues day, Feb. 9, but registrations will be accepted all week at any re ligious house on campus.
