Staff Writer The strength of a democracy lies in the extent to which its people are educated and informed about the. issues vital to the oper ation of government. In those lands where ignorance and super stition are the prevailing influenc es, government is usually primi tive and atuocratic. Realizing this, two and a half years ago while on a state visit to the United States, President Celal Bayer of Turkey asked Pres ident Eisenhower and foreign aid director Harold Stassen for help in modernizing his country's high er educational system on the lines of our own land grant college sys tem. In answer to Bayar's plea, on March 20. 1955, the University signed a three-year contract with the U.S. International Cooperation Administration, providing for the University to render technical ad vice and assistance to the Minis try of Education, Ataturk and An- Th Inside World Phi Mu Alpha-Sonfonia Phi Mu Alpha-Sinfor.ia, nation al music fraternity, will hold a rush smoker at the home of Dr. David Foltz Sunday, beetween 2 and 4 p.m. All those who are interested in performing and advancing the cause of music in America may tation will be provided for those needing it at 1:45 p.m. at the Music Building.

Ed kara Universities, and the Minis try of Agriculture in Turkey. The contract provided for the University to strengthen various phases of the programs of teach ing, research and extension at the University of Ankara, Turkey's present college of agriculture. It provided that Nebraska would also cooperate with the Turkish Minis' try of Agriculture in coordinating the programs of research and ex tension in the Universities of An kara and Ataturk with the Minis try's present work along these lines. Thirdly, Nebraska would parici pate in the shaping of a dream. The University would aid in se lecting a site, planning and erect ing buildings, purchasing equip ment, training a staff, and out lining a curriculum for a new land grant university to be erect ed in eastern Turkey. 90 miles from the Russian frdntier. A staff of 20 Nebraskans is now in Turkey working on various phases of the conrtact. The staff is headed by Dr. Marvel L. Baker and consists of specialists in Ag riculture, including animal nutri tion, irrigation, farm management, pasture and forage crops, and soil management. In a recent report to the Omaha Journal Stockman Dr. Baker said "The Ankara University program has continued to develop quite sat isfactorily. However, the Univer sity of Ankara is a well-established institution. It was organized according to the pattern of Conti nental universities. Consequently, its College of Agriculture has not had the close relationships with rural life which we associate with our own state agricultural col leges and universities." It is this close relationship which the Turks seek. In a recent interview, Chancellor Clifford Har din, who had spent part of this summer visiting the Turkish mis sion, said "The Turks are tre mendously interested in our land grant system and what it has done for our people. They want to incorporate it into their new uni versity." In order to staff the university, Turkish professors have been re cruited to study within the United States. Thirty nine professors from the University of Ankara have come to Nebraska during the first year. All participants have their Ph.D degrees from Ankara or oth er European universities. They are studying new developments in their special fields of interest. The most important part of their training, however, concerns the organization, operation and gen eral philosophy of land grant uni way may seem quite strange at versities or colleges. To these people, the American way may seem quite strange at first. Their concept of teaching is based on the European system which has been followed in their county. There, the textbook and lecture seem most important. Here they can see and learn the close rela tionship of research, teaching and extension as it exists in land grant institutions. As yet ground has not been broken at the site of Ataturk Uni versity. At present, the Turkish government is sponsoring a na tional contest "to find an architect who will design classrooms and administration buildings. It is hoped that classes can start next fall, but a more realistic estimate Pollock Named To Nebraskan Stall Position Jack Poliock was selected as the new Nebraskan copy editor by the Pub Board Friday.

The whole plan is part of a request for help in molding Turkey's educational system from President Celal Bayer of Turkey. ucavors places opening day at Ataturk in the fall of 1958, Hardin said. The institution will stand as a beacon, just across the border from the greatest totalitarian state in history, giving proof of the re wards that result from two democ racies cooperating for the better ment of both, he added. gumrnmumm :'J Roundtable t Special guests of the Chancel lor's Round-table Wednesday were the new members of the Student Council.

These words meant little to Dr. Ali Aras as he got off his plane in New York City eleven months ago. In his stay here, he has learned the full meaning of these words through American friendli ness to his people and his country. The University is currently co operating with the International Cooperative Administration in a program designed to acquaint for eign university faculty members with American methods of instruc tion. Fourty Turkish professors from the Agricultural University of An kara are at present enrolled or have completed their training at the University College of Agricul ture. According to Dr. Aras, agri cultural education is extremely im portant to Turkey since the popula tion is eighty per cent agrarian with ninety percent of the farms fifty acres or less in size. Dr. Aras, Assistant Professor of Ag Economics has now been in our country for over eleven months. His impression of our peo ple and university is such that he is trying for a one year exten tion of study. Dr. Aras's viewpoint of econom ics has been broadened by courses in ag . economics, general eco nomics, and ag statistics. With Dr. Aras are his wife and two young daughters. Mrs. Aras is a specialist in poultry and bees with the Ministry of Agriculture in Turkey. Dr. Fahrettin Tosun, unlike the ohter professors, is at our college m Nebraskan Photo versity problems and various campus functions.

All of the Turkish professors have toured midwestern United States as part of their summer's activity. In their words, "The peo ple here in the United States are interested and friendly, but the people of Nebraska and Lincoln are especially so. It is a second home." They all found the Americans to be hard workers. Too hard work ing in fact, to take advantage of the nice things in life that belong to us. These men are aptly titled Doctor for they all prescribed a reduction in our every-day pace of life. Upon questioning, the one thing that has been of most value to them is their broadened view points in their chosen fields of agriculture and the visual - discus sion type of education that is car ried on in our colleges. When these men return to their native Turkey,. they will more ably staff the University of Ankara and the new University of Ataurk.
