Theologian Speaks
At REW Seminar
JThe truth of a man's faith de
pends on his ability to make fine
theological distinction, Dr. Rob
ert Bertram, chairman of the Val
paraiso University philosophy de
partment, stated Tuesday in a Re
ligious Empha
? - sis Week semi
nar.
A man must
be able to
make distinc
tions between
wh&l is Chris
tian faith and
what is wish
f u 1 thinking,
between what
is pleasing to
Bertram God and what
is merely pleasing to man, Ber
tram told an audience of 22 stu
dents and faculty members.
"It takes strenuous adult effort
to retain the faith of a child, even
when everything within you cries
out that the faith is wrong," Ber
tram stressed. This is why some
kind of theological training is nec
essary and why the Christian
church as always stresses educa
tion, he added.
Struggle in the world is inescap
able, Bertram observed. It is a
wonderful tiling for a Christian
to know that he has a way to meet
that struggle, that the issue of the
struggle has already been estab
lished. Bertram spoke at the second of
four seminars planned for the Uni
versity Religious Emphasis Week,
now going on on both City and Ag
campuses. Eight speakers repre
senting eight faiths and fields of
endeavor, presents the seminars.

Interstate Excavation
Archeology Can Win
Nebraska will become the site
of a meeting between the past and
the future when the Historical So
ciety begins excavations along the
route of the proposed interstate
highway.
Although the highway construe
tion will destroy some material
of historic Interest, W. D. Aesh
bachew, Society director, be
lieves Uiat the road building
could speed up excavation by 25
years.
"No doubt there will be consid
erable destruction," Aeshbachew
said, "but, on the other hand, that
is going to happen no m a t te r
what."

JVeio Tomahawk Chapter
Soon May Function
- A national activities honorary for independents wi
soon take root on the campus.
Although a charter member of Tomahawk, the Uni
versity has no local chapter now, said Lyle Hansen, one
of the organizers of the local group.
Tomahawk's birth on the cam
pus was three years ago when
Lowell Vestal, then vice president
of RAM began corresponding with
national headquarters of t h e or
ganization, Hansen said.
Largely through Vestal's efforts,
a constitution was written for a
local chapter of the honorary. The
group was then chartered by the
Student Council.
Within two weeks, Hansen said
a nucleus group will meet to name
an adviser for a local chapter.
This will be the first step in ac
tual organization of a campus
chapter.
Earlier this year Hansen and
Pete Christensen, activities direc
tor of RAM, attended the national
Tomahawk convention to learn
how other chapters function.
Nucleus
At the suggestion of Frank Hall
gren, associate dean of Student
Affairs, Hansen and Christensen
will choose the nucleus organiza
tional group. According to Hansen,
this group will be kept small
enough to make sure that those
chosen are people who have shown
"very obviously" that they have
done "outstanding work" on cam
pus.
The nucleus group will be
equally divided between men and
women and will consist mainly of
upperclassmcn, Hansen said.
About six or eight people will con
stitute this organizational group.
The University charter states
that members of the honorary will
be active during their sophomore,
junior and senior years. At some
schools having chapters, members
become alumni in their senior
year.
Members will be taken into
Tomahawk in their sophomore
year once the organization has
been founded, Christensen said.
"We need upperclassmen for
archeologist, took a more pessi
mistic view on the effect of the
interstate highway construction in
relation to preservation of histori
cal material.
In this month's issue of the His
torical Society newsletter Kivett
stated that "here in Nebraska we
shall be faced with a major sal
vage project if we are to ade
quately investigate our sites."
Many states have been able to
do nothing about the material
destroyed by construction, he
said.
According to Aeshbachew, there
is a provision in the Interstate
Highway act dealing with archeo
logical discoveries.
stability now, however," Hansen
said.
Once the nucleus group has
chosen an adviser, it will begin
work on electing first-year mem
bers. During this first year, ttie
chapter will be kept fairly small,
Hansen said. Most chapters have
about 35 members.
"Tomahawk will perform a serv
ice lunction at tne university,
Hansen said. On other campuses
Tomahawk chapters usher at pro
grams, conduct spirit campaigns
or undertake other projects of a
service nature.
"One of the first jobs of the
group will be to determine what
service function the University
chapter can perform," Christen
sen said.
One of the organization's major
goals Is encouraging independents
to participate in activities, Hansen
said.
Why "Tomahawk"
The name, Tomahawk, originat
ed at Indiana University. Indiana
had an independent activities hon
orary of that name. The Indiana
group found that Illinois had a
similar organization.
These two local organizations
exchanged ideas a nd eventually
decided to form a joint group.
Perdue University joined them in
forming a national organization,
Since then, Monmouth College,
Iowa State College and Nebraska
have joined the national organiza
tion. Iowa University, Iowa State
Teachers College and Drake Uni
versity are now "interested" ta
joining, Hansen said.
Charity Polls Open
Students may vote this week for
charities for next year's AUF
drive. The polls are located in the
Union. Five charities will be chosen
by the poll.
Or Lose
Aeschbachew sees no reason to
expect friction between construc
tion and archeology unless some
large field Is discovered. In that
case, the archeologist would want
to stop there while the engineers
would want to continue.
The chances of such a large
fine1 are slight. The archeologist
can And something almost any
where, bu something of extreme
value Is seldom found.
The last large finding in pre
construction excavation was mad
in 1950 when "considerable infor
mation about the lives of tht
indarns was discovered during th
construction of the Swanson reseir
voir near Trenton," Aeschbachew
recalled.
