Dr. Colbert Held
Compact Telecourse
Teaches Geography
By BEVERLY DEEPE
Staff Writer
rne unconcerned busy-ness on
the cameraman's face after a sub
tle quip instead of the expected
laughter the desperation of
sketching on a map with a pen
containing no ink the uneasy ad
lib-ility when the script indicates
nothing more to say and the clock
says la minutes to go.
These are some of the unusual
situations Dr. Colbert Held has
encountered on his telecourse,
"Geography of Europe," aired
Monday and Wednesday from 11
a.m. to noon over KUON-TV.
The first six sessions dealt with
the people, climates, minerals,
vegetable belts and soil regions.
After Thanksgiving, the instructor
of political geography will discuss
and show slides of Norway, Swe
den, Great Britain, the Benelux
countries, Italy, Germany and the
Balkans.
Cosmopolitan
By serving in the war and by
visiting for study, the Texas-born
cosmopolitan will have two and
a half years of actual contact
with these areas which he will be
able to incorporate into his pro
gram. Dr. Held uses three methods of
Impressing facts on the minds of
his viewers. First, he writes the
name of the region or belt he is
Ag Research
Begun On Egg
Deterioration
A new research project on the
deterioration of eggs is being
studied by the department of bio
chemistry and nutrition.
The research, supported by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, is
being handled by Dr. Robert E.
Feeney and Mrs. Donald Jones.
The department is continuing
studies of the former departments
of agricultural chemistry and
chemurgy as well as developing
new projects which include the
egg quality study.
Under the chairmanship of Dr.
Feeney, the department works in
co-operation with the poultry de
partment at the College of Agri
culture on the egg problems.
Deteriorative changes in eggs
can be lessened by good farming
and good marketing practices, Dr.
Feeney emphasized. He added that
good eggs can and are being pro
duced in Nebraska by following
such practices.
Other research of the depart
ment of biochemistry and nutrition
includes cereal and flour chemis
try, poultry nutrition, chemurgic
studies on the utilization of agri-
tion in feeds and growth inhibitors
in soybeans.
Two Groups Sell
Christmas Cards
, Cosmopolitan Club and the clin
icians of the speech and hearing
laboratories are now selling Christ
mas cards depicting three winter
scenes of the" campus.
Profits from sales will be divid
ed between the activities fund of
Cosmopolitan Club and the Lan
caster Society for 'Crippled Chil
dren. The Society sponsors ac
tivities of the pre-school clinic cf
the speech and hearing laborator
ies. The cards are on sale at Peden's
Book Store and Room 102 Temple
Building.
Price is $1 for eight cards.
Orchestra To Give
Beatrice Concert
The University Symphony Or
chestra will present a program
for the Nebraska Music Educators
annual Festival in Beatrice at 8:30
p.m. Friday.
The concert will be given at the
Civic Auditorium and is open to
the public. Tickets may be pur
chased for 50 cents.
Sigurd Rascher, professional sax
ophone soloist, will play "Concer
tino di Camera," by Ibert, and
Arietta," by Wielouder, accom
panied by the orchestra.
The orchestra will play "Over
ture Ruy Bias," Mendelssoln;
Elegie from Serenade for Strings,
Tschaikowsky; "A Night on Bare
Mountain," Moussorgsky, and
"Prelude, Choral and Fugue,"
Bach-Abert
explaining on the blackboard and
later points out the locality on a
wall map. He ends by outlining
the region on a blackboard map.
He has found difficulty when the
pen contains no ink.
New Concepts, Facts
In presenting his television pro
gram, Dr. Held attempts to intro
duce new concepts into his view
ers' thoughts, to add new facts to
the viewers' general fund of
knowledge, to encourage greater
appreciation of the earth's land.
scapes and to develop a deeper
understanding of events that hap
pen.
Dr. Held, holder of a B.A. arid
M.A. in theatrical work, has dis
covered some interesting, time-
saving elements of his program
which he believes in the future
may revolutionize methods of
teaching. He has discovered that
he can present more material on a
30-minute telecourse than in a 50
minute class period. Roll calls.
student questions and quizzes are
all eliminated on telecourses.
Compact Course
Considering that the telecourse
started six weeks after classes be
gan, that it is presented twice a
week instead of three hours a
week like regular three hour
classes and that it will not be pre
sented up to the end of the se
mester, Dr. Held feels he will
stil! present as much material on
his telecourse as is presented dur
ing a regular class duration.
"I like geography not because
I am in it, but I am in it because
I like it," Dr. Held said. After re
ceiving degrees in theatrical arts
and a Ph. D. in stage lighting, he
received a Ph. D. in geography
from Clark University in 1949.
While stationed with the. Air
Force in Italy during the war, Dr.
Held became interested in the way
people lived how environment af
fects almost every phase of native
life from architecture to
toms.

Retirement
Act Awaits
Staff Vote
Julius Cohen, professor of law,
was elected president of the Ne
braska Chapter of University Pro
fessors recently.
Other officers elected were:
Niles H. Barnard, professor and
chairman of the mechanical engi
neering department, vice presi
dent; Stanley T. Vandersall, as
sistant professor of classics, sec
retary; Edward B. Schmidt, , pro
fessor and chairman of the eco
nomics department, treasurer,
and Dudley Ashton, professor and
chairman of women's physical ed
ucation department, member of
executive committee
He pointed out that the Univer
sity plans to continue the present
retirement system in addition to
Social Security coverage. Hicks
stressed that currently the Uni
versity contributes the least to
staff retirement of any member
of the Big Seven or Big Ten.
The resolution for the combina
tion of Social Security and the
present retirement system was
unanimously adopted by the fac
ulty and staff. The adoption is
dependent on a majority vote by
the faculty and staff in a referen
dum called for Jan. 18 under the
orders of the Governor.

Excavation Discovers
Hopi Mural Paintings
By PEG VOLZKE
Staff Writer
Watson Smith, anthropologist
from the Peabody Museum of Har
vard, who spoke at the University
Wednesday, had charge of a phase
of the Hopi Site Excavation in
northern Arizona before World
JJar II.
For the past 20 years, Smith
worked in Southwestern archeolo
gy. He considers the archeologi
cal site important because of its
long existence before the coming
of the Spanish and because it was
the place where the first Fran
ciscan Missiod'was established.
Spanish Settle
Awatovi was the first Hopi vil
lage discovered by the Coronado
Expedition in 1540. The Spanish
remained there until 1680, when
they were driven out by the In
dians. The Spanish returned to one vil
lage and were permitted to re
establish their mission. Hopis of
nearby villages disapproved of this
action and, in the winter of 1699,
ing the village and mission church,
dians of that village.
The museum spent five seasons
between 1935 and 1939 in excavat
ing the village and mission church
Members of the expdition found
mural paintings in many of the
prehistoric kivas, or ceremonial
rooms, and in the mission.
The paintings are the most ex
tensive collection of prehistoric In
dian art of their kind thus far
discovered. In many cases, the
murals were painted in as many
as 30 superimposed layers.
Hopis Help Excavate
The problem arose of removing
each layer in such a way as to
expose the lower ones without dam
age. This was done by stripping
each layer off on sheets of muslin
which were then taken back to the
museum and remounted.

"Lots of fun."
This was the way in which Miss
Collen Schnitter, Ag College fresh
man, described the experiment in
which she is taking part in the
nutrition research department of
the' University.
Seven Participate
Miss Schnitter is one of the
seven coeds who is participating in
an experiment to determine wheth
er the human body uses the protein
in flour as effeciently as it does
liquid protein.
Other coeds taking part in the
experiment are Jane Mchaud,
Betty Penke, Phillis Banks, Jean
ette Kraese, Alberta Womach and
Aurelia Way. All are majoring in
home ec, although this is not a
prerequisite.
The study, which will end next
week, is under the direction of Dr.
Hellen Linkswiller, new director of
nutrition reseach at the University.
When ended, the study will have
covered a period of 35 days.
Throughout this entire period,
the women taking part in the ex
periment are on a purified diet and
can eat nothing except what is in
cluded in the diet. The coeds eat
all of their meals (7 days a week)
at the Food and Nutrition Building
on Ag Campus. All ofthe neces
sary vitamins and minerals, plus
the necessary proteins, which con
sist of a number of amino acids,
are consumed in liquid form.
Typical Menu
A typical day's menu would in
clude a breakfast of a glass of or
ange juice, a small glass of min
erals and lemon juice, a glass of
amino acids and three specially
prepared cookies which contain
flour, corn starch, minerals and
brown sugar. These cookies are
served with butter from which the
protein-containing solids have been
removed. For lunch a dish of pears
or apple sauce, a glass of amino
acids (slightly more concentrated
than the morning portion), a glass
of minerals and lemon juice, three
cookies and a dish of cornstarch
pudding would be served. Dinner
would include a dish of peaches, a
glass of amino acids, a glass of
minerals and lemon juice, three of
the special cookies, a dish of corn
starch pudding and some liver cap
sules which supply some of the un
known vitamins.
The coeds 4nay have two cups
of coffee a day and are required
to drink one of two bottles of 7-Up
a day, depending on the weight of
the girls. They are allowed to eat
a small amount of mint candy be
tween meals. Other than this diet,
the girls can eat or drink nothing
except water.
Although seemingly very insuf
ficient, the purified diet is actually
the most complete and balanced
diet the girls will ever have in
their life, according to Dr. Link
swiler. All the minerals and vit
amins essential to the well being
of the human body are supplied.
The experiment is quite expen
sive, for the cost of the diets are
approximately $25 a day for each
coed. For this reason the amino
acids are measured very carefully,
and the necessity of sticking to the!
diet is impressed upon each sub
ject. The women taking part in the
experiment are all volunteers.
They had a physical examination
to assure their good health before
beginning the experiment. Parents
permission was also required for
each subject. The coeds receive
$1.50 per day for participating in
the study.
Nebraska is the first school in
the United States to use a purified
diet for such an experiment, Dr.
Linkswiler said. Dr. W. C. Rose of
the University of Illinois is the
only other person who has done
experimental work , with proteins.
The study at the University is also
unique in the fact that young wo
men are being used in the study.
Male students were used in the
study at Illinois.
This study helps the girls to un
derstand more about nutrition re
search and the necessary amino
acids. According to Miss Womack,
"we stay on the diet because we
feel we are doing something to
help others."
Builds Will Power
"It helps to develop a good will
power," said Miss Schnitter.

Dr. Linkswiler. "Study in which
humans are used are difficult, not
only because people have to do
work but because of the subjects.
Upon completion of the study,
nutritionists will be able to tell
something about the protein in
in flour.
"Everything known about nu
trition has been found in this
way," said Dr. Linkswiler. "Stu
dies such as this are important
because they give actual facts."
