Breckenridge commented at the first Nebraska Council of World Affairs meeting, is an inex pensive method of improving in ternational relations in compari son to the present cost of military equipment. Br. Breckenridge, who recently spent ten days touring in Turkey, reported at the Tuesday night meeting that the University's sister institution plans to open next fall, provided adequate facili ties and a teaching staff are avail able at that time. Preceding a short discussion on the present situation in Algeria, President Biff Keyes presented the NUCWA program for the year and introduced the officers and committee chairmen. Members chose the committees on which they would like to serve. The next mass meeting will be held Tuesday evening, October 8. A meeting for all members of the NUCWA board will be held Tues day afternoon, October 1. Ag Alfalfa Day Speakers Named University faculty members who will speak at the Alfalfa Research Day, Oct. 8 on the Ag College campus have been announced. The event will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the College Activities build ing. A luncheon will be held at noon and a field trip to the Agron omy Farm in the afternoon. W. R. Kehr, U.S. Department of Agriculture agronomist at the University will preside over the morning session and will present a talk. He and W. L. Howe, USDA entomologist, will report on spotted alfalfa aphid research. Other University faculty mem bers who will speak include: John Matsushima, associate pro fessor of animal husbandry; R. L. Ogden, assistant biochemical engi neer; R. E. Green, assistant in agronomy; E. M. Brouse, assistant agronomist, D. G. Hanway, chair man of the Agronomy Department; and Dr. E. F. Frolik, associate director of the Agricultural Experi ment Station, who will preside over the luncheon. cation is especially valuable now, he said, because the nation's need for young people with university experience is steadily increasing. Business and industry, the Chan cellor said, are keenly aware that the nation faces a shortage of trained young people and that the shortage will continue for several years to come. "Between now and 1965," he said "our U.S. population of the work ing age, 18 through 65, will in crease only nine per-cent. Mean while, the proportion under age 18 will increase 20 per cent and the proportion over age 65 will in crease 18 per cent." These statistics make clear, he said, that the nation must rely heavily on the services of young people and that those services must be more efficient than in the past if the national standard of living is to continue its ad vance. "At no time in its history has the University been able to offer a better opportunity for the stu dent interested in higher educa tion," Chancellor Hardin . said, "and at no time has the future depended more heavily on how thouroughly a generation of young people avail themselves of their opportunity."

I W t '1 Nebraskan Photo Chancellor Hardin Asian Flu Situation Explained Student Health authorities held an orientation session Tuesday eve ning for student house representa tives to give them, in the words of Dr. S. I. Fuenning, "an appre ciation of the situation if and when an influenza epidemic s t ri k e s here." At this meeting the representa tives were told what the student health department would do and what they, as representatives of student houses, would be expected to do. The status of influenza was re viewed, how the disease developed and its present situation in the U. S. Dr. Fuenning said that we "defi nitely can expect a fairly wide spread outbreak over the country either this fall, winter, or in the spring. The plan for combating the di sease was a major part of the discussion. The primary object will be to combat influenza epidemics in the individual housing units. Records of temperatures will be kept by members in the houses and nurses will visit the houses regularly. At present. Dr. Fuenning said, the supply of influenza vaccine is limited and that it will be distri buted in order of priority. New selective admission proced ures to Teachers College were also discussed. The scholastic achieve ment section is of particular im portance to students. This section is as follows: "Credit in English B or equiva lent and a cumulative grade aver age of 4 shall be necessary before a student can be advanced from the Junior Division to Teachers College. "The cumulative grade point average of all students who make application for candidacy for certi fication must be 5 or above before he becomes eligible for accept ance in the Student Teaching pro gram, a student must have an average of 5.5 in his major field and an average of 5.5 in the pro fessional courses completed. "There are three cases in which a student may request review by the committee on appeal: (1) If he does not have a 5.5 average in the major field, (2) if he does not have a 5.5 average in professional courses, and (3) if ht does not have a cumulative grade average of 5.0. "A minimum grade of 6 in stu dent teaching is required in order to be recommended for certifica tion."
