Lecturer:

The method of exchanging infor
mation is never just that alone
the ways of gathering news or in
formation actually relates to oth
er individuals, Dr. David Riesman
Jr., said in a seminar Tuesday
Discussing "The Interview As
Form of Communication," the hu
inanities lecturer said that it is
necessary to be able to share
the culture with the interviewee in
order to gain a successful inter
view.
By this, Dr. Riesman meant
that the interviewer must, know
something about the field of the
person he is interviewing so that
the respondent will not feel that he
must explain everything in detail
to the interviewer and waste val
uabla time.
After discussing the history of the
Interview Dr. Riesman pointed
out that many times there may
be a feeling of inequality between
the interviewer and his respondent
In studies conducted at the Uni
ersity of Chicago, by Dr. Ries
man and his colleagues, he found
that most tension in interviewing

No Joke:
farm Sleep
Surprises
IW Student
By BILL ROSS
Nebraskan Reporter
A university student woke up
Sunday morning to find the tail of
his pajamas burned off.
Unable to explain the phenome
non, Terry Healey, junior in busi.
ness administration, accused his
friends of playing a practical joke,
He couldn't understand why they
answered with a tumult of rauc
ous laughter.
Charles Plumer Sr., Glenwood,
la., farmer with whom Healey
was staying, explained the laugh
ter quite clearly.
Plumer said he was sleeping in
his room when he smelled smoke.
He went down stairs where Healey
was sleeping to find him groping
through the smoke, his pajamas
smouldering. After smothering the
near-fire with his hands Plumer
asked Healey if he were burned.
My eyes hurt", said Healey and
went upstairs to a different bed.
The couch where Healey was
was sleeping was still smoultering
when Plumer arrived. When he
opened the window to draw out
the smoke it burst into flame.
Plumer extinguished the blaze with
one bucket of water.
Bud Plumer, son of the elder
Plumer, said that Healey was
smoking a cigarette as he walked
down the basement to the couch
where he was to spend the night.
Evidently, he was still smokitg
when he went to sleep . . . and a
sound sleep it was.
Healey refused to believe the
story until confronted with the
charred couch. After examining the
couch at length, Healey remarked
solemnly, "It just goes to show
that you can play with fire without
getting burned."
Apparently, he's right.

tion that he is having an affair
with a pretty girl."
Innovators "Just as big cor
porations have left innovations to
research and development depart
ments and confined their top exe
cutive to the role of chief public re
latiens officer, so at the big uni
versities what innovation there is
seems to have been shifted out
of the president's hands into the
hands of the deans, some of whom
have quietly promoted some quite
far-reaching changes.
. . . Thus, in a sense, innovation
has, in our greatest institutions of
learning, become institutionalized
and no great revolutionary figure
is likely to appear there."
Home-gnardism "Some uni
versity departments carefully staff
themselves with home-brew talent
and thus avoid disagreeable com
parisons; they will insist with a
complacent nativism that what is
done at Harvard or Oxford, Ann
Arbor or Princeton, is quite mean
ingless in Omaha, Lincoln and
North Platte.
Home-brew is easier to take in
some flavors than in others: If one
wants a good physics department,
it will hardly do, but in agronomy
or English one could make a go
of it. . . it is my observation that
the administrators are just as like
ly or even more likely to be fight
ing home-guardism, and the facul
ties sitting tight."
Professors "I think most of us
would today grant that professors
are themselves apt to apply busi
ness standards to their work. More
precisely, we academic people
tend to judge ourselves as a firm
would: does our university offer
a full line; is it properly diversi
fied; what is our Dun and Brad
street rating in the proper accredi
tation association; how many stu
dents do we have, in absolute num
bers and relatively to those col
leagues who, in sociological lingo,
comprise our reference group.
. . . Whereas veblen thought pro
fessors ought to despise and reject
administrators as displaced busi
nessmen who should be sent back
to their predatory trades, it may be
that professors today look down on
deans and college presidents for
different reasons, and with some
envy, because they think: there
but for the grace of non-promotion
go I."

"Attending the Cherry Blossom
Festival in Washington, D. C,"
said Sandra Kadlecek, a sophomore
in Teacher's College from Omaha,
"is probably the greatest thing
that will ever - . .

which is comparable to the Mardi
Gras in New Orleans. Each state
sends one girl to participate in the
festival as a Princess from that
state.
"It was thrilling," declared Miss
Kadlecek, "to ride in a convertible
everywhere we went and to have
a police escort everytime we drove
through town."
During the Cherry Blossom Fes
tival, April 3-8, each State Society
had a party honoring its representa
tive, and Nebraska had a "huge"
breakfast in Miss Kalecek's hon
or. "The big event of the week was
the Cherry Blossom Festival Ball,"
Miss Kadlecek stated, "where the
Sec. of the Interior spun a giant
roulette wheel which stopped re
volving three minutes later and
pointtd at Miss Montana's name."
"In this way Miss Montana be
came Queen of the festival," she
added,"and received a $700 cher

"For two days in a row," said
Miss Kadlecek, "I was in a for

"We also did a TV show with
Will Rogers,' Jr. one morning at
5:30 a.m.," stated Miss Kadlecek,
"and learned how to curtesy be
fore TV cameras from the outstand
ing hostess of the world, Perle
Mesta."
Miss Kadlecek had her picture
taken in the Vice-President's office,
and with Senators Hruska and Cur
tis. When she visited Gov. Ander
son, she was made an Honorary
Admiral of the Navy of the state
of Nebraska.
"Hotels honored us with buffets,
luncheons, and breakfasts," Miss
Kadlecek said, "and parties were
held by Officers' Clubs in our hon
or." "I really feel lucky," she
added, "that I was able to go to
such a tremendous affair!"
An interview between Senator
Curtis and Miss Kadlecek will be
shown over TV at noon on Sunday.

Air Battle
Can Be Won
Says Adams
The fifth annual Air Age Ed
ucation Clinic was informed Fri
day evening at the University that
the Strategic Air Command "has
the capability today to win the
air battle in a world conflict."
But it "cannot maintain this ad
vantage without keeping abreast,
yet ahead, of a potential enemy's
ability to expand and improve his
force."
Col. Joseph Adams, Jr., of
Omaha, SAC deputy director of
current programs and directorate
of plans, spoke at the clinic's an
nual banquet on the subject,
"Around the World with the SAC."
Col. Adams explained that
SAC's goal "is to continue to main
tain a strategic air force second
to none one designed primarily to
deter an aggressor nation.
"We are now in the jet age and
the era of unmanned missies in
warfare is very much at hand.
As we progress in the long-range
strategic missile field, they will be
used to supplement the deterrent
power of our long-range striking
force.
He said there is only one way
to maintain an adequate striking
force within the means the na
tional economy, and t'.iat way, he
said, is air power.
He pointed out that SAC be
lieves: "That this nation's influence in
international affairs is strengthened
or weakened by the state of its
air force.
"That by exploiting the great
versatility of air forces it is pos
sible to gain decisive results in
support of our national policies in
all forms of international'relations
Including full peace, cold war,
limited war of all kinds or toatl
war.
"That free people are best able
to counter aggression only' when
they have adequate air forces and
those air forces are employed prop
erly. "That the air force must remain
dedicated to the task of providing
the basic military strength to pre
serve freedom, in concert with the
other armed services and in part
nership with the American people
and the allies of the U.S."
Test Course
Construction
Starts Soon
Construction is going ahead
rapidly on a $30,000 project to im
prove the Nebraska tractor test
course at the University.
Two new tracks are being built
to replace the single dirt course
located at the northwest corner
of the College of Agriculture cam
pus. One track will be of dirt while
an inner track will be constructed
with concrete, according to L. F.
Larsen, engineer-in-charge of trac
tor testing. Both tracks will be en
larged at the ends for easier
turning.
Track type crawler tractors will
be tested on the dirt while the
concrete track will be used for
whel types. The concrete pave
ment will make it possible to test
rubber-tired tractors under identi
cal conditions.
