Reinhardt To Talk
In Union Thursday
"Can we meet world destruc
tion?" will be the topic of Dr. J.
M. Reinhardt's lecture, Thursday
at 4 p.m. in the Union.
Dr. Reinhardt, head of the crim-
inal department, has chosen to ;
deal with the failure of modern ;
culture to respond effectively to j
the demands which advances in
the fields of science have made
upon it. He feels that the world
order today poses survival prob
lems that our culture traditions
are not equipped to meet.

Carter pointed out that for ap

without also matriculating in the
Teachers College.
He predicted that if dual matric

students in Arts and Sciences not
now planning to teach, would be
willing to meet certification re
quirements. The language professor said that
dual matriculation was objection
able principally because the pro
cedure discourages students in Arts
and Sciences from electing teach

and who were graduated with dis-
tinction or high distinction.
What, then, are some of the
early indicators of honor gradu
ate status?
Honor graduates as a group
were significantly younger at the
time of high school graduation
than the random sample of their
classmates. The highest percent
age of subjects in both groups
were the 18-year-olds, but there
was a slightly larger percentage
of 16- and 17-year-olds among the
honor graduates.
More than 90 per cent of the
honor graduates ranked in the
highest quarter of their high school
class. 2.2. per cent ranked in the
second quarter, 6.2 in the third,
but none in the lowest quarter.
From what type of background
did these honor graduates come?
Two-thirds of the fathers had
received a high school education.
Thirty-two per cent of the mothers
and 26 per cent of the fathers had
bachelor degrees.
The occupation of the fathers
shows that most of the honor
graduates come from homes of
fairly good socio-economic back
ground. Farming was listed most
frequently. The exception is the 16-year-old
group which showed the
highest percentage in the profes
sional occupations. Seventy-five
per cent of the mothers were
housewives, while 15 per cent
were engaged in professional
work.
or Uodoeti Addition
Geo-ge Cook Construction Com
pany of Lincoln was apparent low
bidder for the contract for general
construction on the new $1,250,000
Union addition Tuesday.
Cook's bid still must be ap
proved by the University Board
of Regents which will meet this
Saturday. The bid of $627,777 was
the lowest of six bids submitted
for general construction work by
approximately $22,000. Other firms
bidding for the contract were
Westcott-Bowen, Kingery, Wilson,
Assenmacher and Olson.
Cook previously constructed the
married student housing project,
$500,000 project on Ag Campus,
for the University according to
John Selleck, Corporation Secre
tary of the Board of Regents.
Should the Board of Regents ap
prove the bid, it is possible that
construction on the addition could
start in the next three weeks.
Bids for mechanical and elec
trical construction were also read.
Apparent low bidder for the me
chanical construction was Rien
hardt Plumbing and Heating Com
pany, also of Lincoln. The Reine
hardt bid was $46,935. Also bid
ding were Ray Martin, George H.
Wentz, Natkin, and Newberg and
Bookstrom.
Mason Electric Company of Lin
coln was apparent low bidder on
the electrical contract. The Mason
bid of $94,750 edged those of Dod
son, Commonwealth and ABC elec
trical companys.
Duane Lake, Union director,
said, "We are very happy with
the bids. Our architect estimated
we got by approximately 7 per
cent cheaper at this time."
New facilities that will be in
cluded in the addition are a ten
lane bowling alley, billiard room,
drive-in, barber shop, laundry, and
small auditorium. Expanded facil
ities will add a new kitchen, din

trumpet.
"War is Kind," by Sergius Ka
gen, sung by Carolyn Boesiger,
soprano, with Miss Schmidt as ac
companist. "They Say that Susan has no
Heart for Learning," by Roy Har
ris, sung by the chorus, with Lois
Watson conducting.
Gifted Children In College
A greater proportion of honor
graduates come from small rather
then large communities. Approxi
mately two-thirds of the group
studied were members of hi g h
school graduating classes with
less than 100 members.
Characteristics
The majority enrolled for ad
vanced education and are engaged
in professional occupations. House
wives account for 29 per cent and
non-professional persons, 17 per
cent. More than 60 per cent con
tinued their education beyond the
baccalaureate degree, The largest
percentage to receive the doctor
ate degree was found to be in
the 17-year-old group, whereas the
largest percentage to receive the
master's degree was in the 19-year-old
group. However, a larg
er proportion of the 19-year-old
group, as compared with the 17
and 18-year groups, enrolled for
graduate work but did not com
plete requirements for a degree.
"This leads to the conclusion that
the younger age groups tend to
continue their education with a
more definite purpose in view than
the older groups."
Chances Of Employment
About 92 per cent of the honor
graduates had no difficulty in se
curing employment. The study
also shows that frequent job
changes are not characteristic of
younger graduates.
The average age of marriage
for the total honor group was 25.11
ing room, cafeteria, main lounge,
enlarged Crib, three music listen
ing rooms, a main ballroom, jun
ior ballroom, 11 smaller meeting
rooms and eight private dining
rooms.
Funds for the addition are pro
vided by student activity fees. The
project does not include $200,000
in new furnishings which will be
purchased under a separate con
tract. Financing of the bowling alleys
also is not included in the project.

Grey
Miss Mulvaney
University student and one faculty
or administrative member, are the
first to be nominated.
Dr. Gray was cited in his letter
of nomination as "an outstanding
educator possessed with an amaz
ing knowledge of history. His abil
ity to transfer his vast knowledge
to students has gained him a place
of prominence in college educa
tion." "He is acknowledged as one of
the country's leading experts on
English history, especially the
Stuart and Tudor eras," the letter
went on to say.
"His devotion to his subject, to
his college and to his university
qualify him as a truly outstanding
Nebraskan," the letter stated.
Miss Mulvaney was cited as a
dynamic person who is intensely
interested in the problems of all
her pupils, past and present.
"In the activities which she
sponsors, Miss Mulvaney is con
sidered ever ready to help in
every way she can, but is never
willing to impose her authority on
the group," the letter continued.
Miss Mulvaney is sponsor of the
Womens Athletic Association andj
Mortar Board. j
Gene Spence, who was business
manager of the Cornhusker during
the 1956-57 school year, was called
"a truly devoted student of law
who never mixes pleasure with
study."
"Spence is one of the few Amer
icans who has received three let

years. Those who were graduated
from high school at younger ages
tend to marry earlier. There was
a marked tendency for the wives
of the male honor graduates to
be housewives rather than to be
employed outside the home.
Eighty-eight per cent of the
group had children. The average
number was 2.5.
Part-Time Jubs
Seventy-five per cent of the
honor graduates earned more than
19 per cent of their expenses while
attending college. Eighty-four per
cent of the 19-year-old group
worked at least part-time, while
only 75 per cent of the 17-year-olds
did so. "In all cases, this
shows that scholarship is not af
fected by earning part of the ex
penses in college."
Ninety-five per cent of the top
graduates received other honors
in college. The younger age groups
show a superiority over the older
groups, with the highest percent
age of Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma
Xi, and Mortar Board members
in the 17-year-old group. The
honors received after graduation
show no consistent pattern with
respect to age, but all groups ex
cept the 15-year-olds had received
honors. "If participation in acti
vities can be considered an Indi
cation of favorable social adjust
ments, the youthful honor gradu
ate cannot be considered socially
maladjusted," Mrs. Mukherjee
stated.

Alumni
To Preserve
Woodwork
Present plans for the destruction
of Ellen Smith Hall include the
removal of much of the interior
woodwork to be transported to new
settings.
The University Alumni Associa
tion, in an attempt to preserve thd
atmosphere of one of the Univer
sity's oldest and most memorable
landmarks, will finance the remov
al of paneling and other wood
work, and storage and reinstalla
tion in a memorial book nook for
the new Union.
Considerable alumni interest has
been indicated in this project "to
preserve the fond memory of El
len Smith Hall," according to Ar
nold Magnuson, secretary of the
Alumni Association.
The book nook will occupy the 40
by 40 foot area where the present
Union Roundup Room is located.
Architects are now working on
plans for the new book nook. After
they are completed and an esti
mate is derived, the drive for funds
will begin, Magneson said.
Charles Fowler, director of the
division of buildings and grounds,
said that the University has and
will be cooperating fully in this
Alumni Assoc. project.
After the Alumni Assoc. removes
the woodwork it desires, bidding
will then be opened for demolish
ing Ellen Smith Hall, Fowler said.
