Engineers:
IE-Week Dedicated
To Dean Hoy Green
By BOB JAMESON
Special Staff Writer
The E-Week Board has an
nounced that this year's Engineer's
Week, April 25 and 26, will be ded
icated to Roy Green, retiring Dean
of the College of Engineering and
Architecture.
Dean Green graduated from the
University in 1914 with a B.S. in Ci
vil Engineering. He got his Ms. in
C. E. at Columbia University and
then taught at Texas A. & M. for
four years, where he attained the
rank of professor.
In 1920, Dean Green came back
to Nebraska and founded Western
Laboratories, a consulting engi
neering firm, of which he was pres
ident and manager until 1943.
During this time, his influence
spread throughout the state He
had a part in the design and plan
ning of most of the major highway
and airport construction done in
these years. During the war years,
he worked closely with the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, Mis
souri River Division.
Mr. Green was a strong promoter
of the State Licensing Law, which
passed in 1937. This law provides
for a State Board of Examiners for
Engineers and Architects, whereby
engineers obtain their professional
license. Dean Green has served as
secretary or chairman of the board
ever since.
In 1943, Mr. Green became a
teacher again. He taught civil en
gineering courses at the Univer
sity until 1945. He then became
Dean of the College of Engineer
ing and Architecture.
Many things have changed since
Dean Green took over as chief ex
ecutive of the engineering school,

Executive Board Elections:
(meson, Pq
A slate of candidates for execu
tive officers on the 1957-1958 Inter
Fraternity Council was introduced
at the IFC meeting Wednesday. ,
Candidates are: Dick Arneson
and Jack Pollock for president,
Monroe Usher and Ken Wehrman.
for vice president, Gary Berke and
John Glynn for secretary, and Bill
Dahl and Jim Whltaker for
treasurer.
Arneson is a junior in Business
Administration and president of
Delta Tail Delta fraternity. Pollock
is a junior in Business Adminls
trrtion, managing editor - of the
Dnily Nebraskan, University Young
n?publicans, Sigma Delta Chi and
a member of Sigma Nu fraternity.
Usher is a junior in Arts and
During W. W. II, enrollment was
low, but in the postwar years, the
returning veterans swelled the stu
dent body to an all time high.
Many problems arose, but under
the Dean's capable leadership,
they were solved and a record num
ber of engineers were graduated
with no decline in the quality of
their instruction. .
Dean Green has always had a
great personal interest in this stu
dents and has given much of his

own time to counseling and helping
young engineers. This was espe
cially evident at the outbreak of
the Korean conflict, when student
attitude became very poor because
of the knowledge that they might
be called to fight at any time
Dean Green spent many evenings
counseling and combatting this
inititative-dulling attitude.
Physical additions to the college
in the last few years include Fer
guson Hall and the renovation of
several other buildings.'
The Pean's influence is felt dur
ing college life and also after grad
uation. He has served on the En
gineering Council for Professional
Development Accreditment Com
mittee and the Committee on Stu
dent Selection. He is active in the
American Society of Engineering
Education.
All graduate engineers who work
in Nebraska meet him again when
they face the State Board of Exam
iners. Practicing engineers are also
interested in the large number of
professional papers which Mr.
Green has written.
E-Week is the primary activity
of the Egineering College during
the year. It is designed to show
the public the applications - and
influences of engineering in every
day life and to give students a
chance to apply what they learn
in the classroom, the main attrac
tion is "Open House," featuring
displays made by the students.
This year, the displays and cel
ebrations have a new purpose.
They will emphatically express the
appreciation of the College of En
gineering and Architecutre students
for the work, interest, and leader
ship so unselfishly given to them
by their Dean Roy Green.

Airman 1st class Leslie Mil-
bourne, another member of the

nificance of the belts.
There are about four colors of
belts, he said. The first is a be.
ginners belt, the second is the
white belt. Two members of the
Lincoln team hold the brown belt.
The other two members wear

Two men in Japan wear the
tenth degree of black belt, a
right which only seven men have
achieved since 1864.
A special board passes on the
degree of skill of members, Mil
bourne explained. In order to win
the belt, a candidate must know a
great deal about anatomy, as well
as the actual holds, for they must
explain to the board which muscles
are involved in which holds, he
said.
In some of their demonstrations,
the team uses a ten-year-old boy
and an eight-year-old girl to show
how persons of this size can
throw full-grown men.
Legend has it that the art of
judo was first discovered by a
Chinese philosopher.
In looking out of his window
one winter he observed that the
branches of the oak and elm trees
were often broken by the weight
of the snow, for . the sturdy
branches attempted to resist the
weight.
T' elini willow trees, whose
bra tthes gave with the snow and
forced it to slip off, never broke,
however.
The system, then, as worked
out by the philosopher king, is
based on the principle of turning
one's opponent's strength against
him.
The door prizes that are to be
given a way at the Union Stag are
on display in the Union Lounge.
The prizes include: a Michael
Stern suit, valued at $C7.50; Rob-
lee shoes, valued at $15.95; a Stet
son hat, valued at $10.95; a Van
Heusen shirt, valued at $5.00; a
Wembley tie, valued at $2.00; hose,
valued at $1.00; two belts, valued
at $2.50 each.
Four McGregor sports items are
included in the prizes. They are:
bay Ivy slacks, valued at $7.95, a
bay Cardigan jacket, valued at
$7.95; a pair of bay Bermuda
shorts, valued at $5.95; and a bay
knit T-shirt, valued at $4.00.
Magic acts, a pistol shooting ex
hibition, a wrestling match, a
comedian and a smorgasbord are
on the program for the evening.
The price for tickets is 75 cents.
They are on sale in the Union and
can be purchased from house rep
resentatives.

The elctions for the officers of

in the Union from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Candidates and their platforms
are:
Bob Ireland
Bob Ireland, news editor of the
Daily Nebraskan. IFC publicity
chairman, Spring Day publicity
chairman, Kosmet Klub worker,
member of Sigma Chi and a soph
omore in Arts and Sciences, states
that he is in favor of a combina
tion income and sales tax to re
place the existing property tax.
Ireland added that Nebraska's
present tax system is outdated for
many ways and should be revised
to insure a more equitable distribu
tion.
'I am suDoortine an increase in
the University of Nebraska budget
to the degree of 3.2 million dol
lars," he said. "I think some com
promise is in order between the
Nebraska taxpayers and the Uni
versity and feel that the 3.Z ligure
is a fair one."
"Some program must be initiated
on the University campus, where
by effective student criticism of
teaching personnel is inagurated,'
Ireland added.
Sara Jones
Sara Jones, news editor of the
Daily Nebraskan, member of the
debate team, YWCA, NUCWA,
member of Alpha Xi Delta and a
sophomore in Arts and Sciences,
stated she advocates a realistic ap
proach to the problem of the budg
et, which is not a separate issue
but part of the general problem
of the Nebraska tax system. .
The tax base in the state is too
narrow to provide adequate reve
nue for all state activities and
the University must suffer with
the rest of the state. Before the
University can be provided with
sufficient revenue, the tax base
must be broadened, Miss Jones
added.

"I oppose the measures to allow
18-year-olds to vote. Most 18-year-olds
are no more qualified to vote
than the majority of their elders;
the quality of the electorate will
not be improved by the addition of
more poorly qualified members.
Voting is not a return for services
rendered, nor a right which can
be demanded. It is a privilege
which must be earned," she stated.
Miss Jones also commented on
the parking problem of the Uni
versity. She said it is a job for
the students to solve, not the Uni
versity. The job of the University
is to educate its students and its
obligation does not extend to park
ing lots.
The University's job is education
and its function is to transcend
the values of society. Administra
tion, faculty and students should
recognize it, for the University has
been sadly failing in its duties, she
said.
When the administration becomes
more concerned with the morals of
the students than their education,
when the students . become more
concerned with the IFC officers
than the imaginative consideration
of learning then a University is
no longer worthy of the name, Miss
Jones added.
George Moyer
George Moyer, copy editor fo the
Daily Nebraskan, member of the
debate team, NUCWA, YMCA,
member of Kappa Sigma and a
sophomore in Arts and Sciences
stated that he does not favor a
sales tax.
The present tax system of the
state of Nebraska is neither fair
or equitable system and the tax
base of the state should be broad
ened by the institution of a state
income tax, he added.
"On the parking problem of the
University, I don't believe cars are
required for freshman and sopho
more students," Moyer said.
"The state of Nebraska is cur
rently suffering drought conditions
and although I believe the Univer
sity need.s an increase of funds, I
believe they should also look into
this problem realistically in the
view of the problems outstate," he
commented.
Moyer said he believes his ex
perience in the past two years on
the University debate team has
qualified him for the job of lieu
tenant governor. Ht also added
that if he is elected, "I won't can
the governor every morning to
see if he had died."
Bob Swansoa
Bob Swanson, president of Sel
leck house. RAM council and
senior in Buisness Adminstration
said:
That as lieutenant
he will try to effect cooper
ation and good feeling among
the factions represerted.
Swanson believes that the lieu
tenant governor should not allow
personal convictions and opinions
to enter into his leadership of the
legislature.
"Drawing on my past experi
ences, I believe that I can pre
side over the body, giving each
individual an equal opportunity
to be beard."
