NU Students Asked To File New Addresses The division of student affairs needs the new addresses of stud ents who have moved since second-semester registration, ac cording to J. P. Colbert, dean of student affairs. Dean Colbert pointed out that his office often has trouble con tacting students on matters of University business and for emergency reasons. "Any student who has changed his place of resi dence from that shown on his second semester registration and who has not reported his change of address to the Uni versity should do so at once, Colbert said. - STUDENTS MAY fill out change-of-address slips at the office of admissions, office of registration and records or the division of student affairs, in the Administration Building, or at the junior division bffice in Temporary A.

THE KOREAN educator des cribed Americans as . a "strong and happy people" who "worked and prayed welL" but he cau tioned against a kind of com munism that was accepted by Americans from what they learned in books, television, ra dio and newspapers and was not the actual communism which prevails in Korea. Chei said that communist propaganda was critical of the United States, but he refered to American expression "Seeing is Believing." He was especially impressed by the "combination of many nationalities" and the nation's progress in the last two centuries. Chei felt that his visit could accomplish a great deal towards "increasing friendship between the United States and Korea." Nebraska University was chosen by Chei for a visit be cause of the influence exerted by a former graduate student Suk-Soon Suh, who achieved a Ph. D. degree here. Suh was very proud of the University, so Chei asked to visit Nebraska upon arriving in Washington. Suh is now an instructor of in ternational relations at Korean Christian College. CHEI WAS very impressed by the "big and wonderful mus eum. He feels that Lincoln is "quite suitable" for a univer sity city, neither "too small or too big." The city's name re minded Shei of Abraham Lin coln. Chei mentioned that while Nebraska was larger in area than Korea, Nebraska's popu lation was only one and a half million compared to the Korean population of over 30 million, "All problems stem from the problem of overpopulation," Chei emphasized. A difference between private and public universities. Chei said, is the susceptibility of pri vate school activities to become "open to communism," activities of the public university are "suitably controlled," he felt. Students at private schools, ac cording to Chei, look "socialized" as compared to the more "inno cent and pure look" of state uni versity students.
