By GRACE HARVEY
Features Editor
Betty Thurman, senior in Ag
College from Broken Bow, was
one of three home economics stu
dents majoring in extension work
who spent the first seven weeks of
the semester at out-state county
extension headquarters.
According to Miss Thurman, the
purpose of the field training
course is to give the extension
major practical experience before
she goes out on her own as a
county agent. She added that the
orientation is necessary because
the coed has an opportunity to be
come familiar with extension prac
tices which are complicated be
cause of the heavy amount of re
ports to be made. Miss Thurman
said that this was necessary be
cause the county bureau is a branch
of the Department of Agriculture
Bug Identification
Other duties of the county agent
are to answer mail from farmers
who request information on the
latest agricultural news and meth
ods. She added that one of the
most interesting phases of her work
was attempting to identify animal
and bug specimens brought in by
iarmers.
MisS Thurman explained the re
quirements and duties of the po
sition. She said that she had
written news stories and a fifteen
minute radio show and had planned
a television show.
She said that her work in con
nection with the television show
a pie demonstration, was to pre
pare the background. This includ
ed cutting scripts and advertising
material to exactly fit the time

tion gave instructions as to the

was used.
'Kerchoo And You
Miss Thurman said that she
part of the extension work she en
joyed most was the project in
which she wrote the script
for a radio show entitled, "Ker
choo the Doctor and You." The
show which was based on the
theme of how to cure the common
cold was a phase of the extension
agent's health program. Miss
Myrtle Anderson, Wayne County
extension agent, helped Miss Thur
man with the narration.
In conjunction with a meeting
on pattern alterations, Miss Thur
man mailed over 250 circular let
ters announcing it to farm women
leaders in Wayne County. She
also wrote a news story announcing
the meeting and a follow-up story
which gave details of the speak
er's address. Afterwards, Miss
Thurman prepared a display on
pattern alterations and presented
it Acievement Day.
She said that this is another im
portant phase of the county ex
tension agent's work to follow up
subject once it has been dis
cussed at a meeting so that those
who were unable to attend could
benefit from it.
'Better International Relations
The county home extension clubs
hold an Achievement Day in the
fall af each year. Its purpose is
to install new officers and present
a current educational problem for
discussion. Miss Thurman said
that this year the topic was es
pecially appropriate in that the
speaker discussed the student ex
change. He said that each indi
vidual should open his home to
foreign students and better inter
national relations would stem
from these personal contacts.
Miss Thurman gained more prac
tical experience through helping
Wayne County 4-H'ers plan a com
munity barbecue. She added that
over 650 people attended and that
the new Wayne County 4-H Build
ing was dedicated afterwards.
Other University coeds who
took the home extension training
course this fall were Evelyn Laur
itsen and Helen McMahon. Miss
Lauritsen studied under Miss Alma
Anderson.- Adams County home
agent at Hastings and Miss McMa
hon was with Miss Ila Ellis, Fur
nas County home agent at Beaver

ASNE Bulletin
Swindler Describes
Journalism Seimnar
Dr. William M. Swindler, direc
tor of the School of Journalism,
has published an aricle in the
'Bulletin of the American Society
of Newspaper Editors" describ
ing an educational experiment
for journalism at the University.
The article entitled "Would You
Pass or Flunk?" describes a
senior seminar which undertakes
to tie together a number of the
the most significant developments
in public affairs, the fine arts,
science, literature and social
thought reviewing what the
student has already studied and
impressing upon him the impor
tance of continuing under his own ;
power after graduation."
Ten, 15 Seniors
The seminar consists of a se
lective group of 10 to 15 seniors,
principally journalism majors al
though other college majors are
also invited to register.
The two-hour a week seminar
is held during the second semester
before graduation for three hours
of credit. The seminar is usually
conducted with representatives
from various departments of the
University and other specialists
sitting in as guest leaders when
their respective fields are under
study.
Dr. Swindler points out that
this senior journalism class is not
intended to take the place of bas
ic courses in the various subjects
covered, but to give them focus
and re-emphasis.
A survey of postwar graduates
of the University indicates that
this has proved to be one of the
half dozen most valuable courses
in the curriculum.
Other articles on the same sen
ior seminar have been wi'ien by
Dr. Swindler in "Proceedings of
the National Conference of Editor
ial Writers" and in "Nieman Re
ports" published by the Nieman
Foundation for Journalism at Har
vard University.

Feature Writer
The campus is dreary and de
serted. It's dismal and dissatis
fied. Why? Because Herbert, the
spirit of the campus, is gone.
You reply, "But I don't know
Herbert." But actually, you know
him very well. Herbert is a run
ner and a winner. I wouldn't be
i bold as to say that everyone
knows him, but then, everyone
does so I guess I'll say it any
wav. Herbert is known, I tell
you, known.
But now Hebert is gone only
wrinkled-up milk cartons are left
to remind us that he was here.
Herbert aced out from this pop
stand because he couldn't wait
for vacation. You might say he
took leave, and when he left he
was gone. Gone, man, gone. You
have the incredible look of an un
believer on your face and dismiss
the thought of his absence with,
"Oh, no, he probably just went out
for more milk and sandwiches."
But Herbert is gone, I tell you,
gone.
Cash Situation Sad
Anyway, Herbert doesn't have
money for milk and sandwiches,
if one wishes to rationalize about
the situation. Herbert leads a
literal "hand to mouth", existence.
I don't mean to imply thif .he's
poor he just doesn't have very
much cash, currency or gold bul
lion. Not only that, but he can't
write checks he doesn't believe
in banks (having been a depression
baby) but stores his frugally
earned pennies in you guessed it
empty milk cartons, of which h
has quite a sufficient supply.
Actually though, Herbert is a
fun lover from the word go. Not
only that, but he is also very
happy. He says, "Basically, thers
is no sweat." He is presumed to
have written the book, "How To
be Happy Though Miserably
Poor." Herbert is- blissful, even
though he has so little. He soys
"I don't miss anything, man, not
anything."
Cultured! Charming
Herbert, -charming as he is u
also very intelligent, at least, his
inclinations are basically toward
culture. He once shouted, "Give
me culture or give me milk t
like both."
Herbert is a wit; more than
that, he is wise. "Wisdom is ir.
replaceable," he once cried, in
classes, Herbert is comedy plus.
Not wit, satire, but comedy, f
tell you, comedy. His current kil
ler for instructors is shouting "j
know it" at the top of his well.
developed lungs and turning one,
just one never more, perfect
cartwheel with his little body. This
excruciates Herbert. And, it has
just now excruciated me, but we
all love him very much, never.

Anniversary
Exhibit To Illustrate
Columbia Bicentennial
" "Man's Right To Knowledge and
the Free Use Thereof "a panel
exhibit illustrating the theme of
Columbia University's Bicentennial
anniversary was opened at Mor
rill Hall Sunday and will remain
on exhibition until Dec. 18.
The exhibit consists of 25 pan
els covering five aspects of the
Volumbia Bicentennial theme, as
follows: "The . Inclusiveness of
Man," "The Values of Knowl
edge," "Man's Right to Knowl
edge," ' "Man's Right to the Free
Use of Knowledge" and "The
Responsibilities of Knowledge."
"The panels cover a wide range
of topics, from the United Nations
Declaration of Human Rights to
"The Teacher and Free Speech,"
from censorship in its various
forms to "Everyman His
Thoughts and Yearnings." ,
When Columbia University began
to make plans for its Bicentennial.
to be celebrated in 1954, it was de-1
cided that freedom of inquiry and
expression was an appropriate sub
ject which a free university could
choose. They adopted the theme
upon which University activities
would focus, "Man's Right to
Knowledge and the Free Use
Thereof."
The University is bringing the
exhibit to the campus in coopera
tion with the Columbua Alumni
Regional Committee for Nebraska.
Elmer T. Peterson, Dean of the
College of Education of Iowa State
University, is chairman of the Nebraska-Iowa
regirn.
A typical panel in the exhibition
is used to illustrate the section on
"Development of Citizens." The
illustration for this panel is a pho
tograph of elder citizens at a town
meeting, together with a quotation
from James Madison: "A popular
government, without popular in
formation, or the means of acquir
ing it, is but a prologue to a farce
or a tragedy or perhaps both."
