Pfizer, a 109-year-old drug and chemical firm, launched the scholarspips program in 1956 to encourage more prom ising young people to choose careers in extension work, particularly in the field of an imal health. Each applicant had to pre pare an extension teaching plan on animal health. Out standing scholastic records and an extensive background in 4-H work were other re-j quirements. Hendrix and Rathjen were reared on farms and have each had seven years in 4-H Club work. Both are majoring in Agricultural Extension and are members of Alpha Gam ma Rho. Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, and Oregon were the only states other than Nebraska that had two winners. sor. He has served as chairman of the department since 1938. During 1934-35 he supervised the meat processing work of the Nebraska Emergency Re lief Administration. For many years he was in charge of swine research at the Nebraska Experiment Sta tion and has a large number of publications to his credit. He was responsible for meats research and teaching at the College and still plays an ac tive part in it. "Professor Loeffel has con tributed in many ways to the welfare of the College and the Department of Animal Hus bandry," said Dean W. Lam bert. "Under his guidance the De partment has grown and has done much for the betterment of agriculture in Nebraska. His choice by the students to receive the annual Block and Bridle Club award is a fitting tribute to his endeavors to improve teaching and re search activities of the De partment," he added. is scneauiea inursaay on campus for students in the upper 25 per cent of all high school senior classes in the state. The purpose of the confer ence is to call the attention of the students to the value of scientific developments in ag riculture, t h e accomplish ments in agriculture research and the fascination of the scientific research. Demonstrations of agricul tural sciences In action, from "Cow Psychology" to "Use of Radioactivity in Agriculture", will be presented by faculty members and researchers of the College of Agriculture. Dr. B. Schweigert, Director of Research and Public Rela tions for the American Meat Institute, will be the featured speaker during the afternoon period. Spring Kodeo Ag CI i J) Topic Rodeo Club will meet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Animal Husbandry Building on Ag, according to Prudy Morrow, publicity chairman. All members are required to attend the meeting. Plans for the Spring Rodeo will be dis cussed at this time, she said. Al contestants in the rodeo must have their "chicken money" and release slips in to Keith Redinbaugh by April 30, she said. An array of educational dis plays will highlight the civil engineers part of Engineer's Week open house. Included are displays in the fields of hydraulics, sanita t i o n, highways, structures, soils and surveying all of which are common to the civil engineering curriculum. In addition, the civil engin eering curriculum as taught at the University will be shown in a display consisting of all textbooks used, courses taught and objectives of the courses. Water Flow One of the displays in the field of hydraulics will be an experiment showing the char acteristics xof water flowing under different velocities. This experiment was performed in the late 19th century by Os borne Reynolds, a famous en gineer in the hydraulics field. Work is nearly completed on a hvdraulic "jump", which is an unexplained natural phe nomenon where water flowing in an open flume makes an abrupt rise due to retarded flow, one C. E. reported. Two displays are being con structed concerning sanitation. The first is an inverted siphon, used in controlling storm run off and allowing flow beneath streams or underground ob structions. The principles used in dis posing of sewer gas will also be shown as a part of sani tation. Bridge Design The featured highway dis play will show the location in highway bridge design and construction. Models of a num ber of bridges constructed in the past and present will be displayed. Another highway dis display will show the location of proposed routes of the In terstate Highway through the country. Structural design and con struction will show the de-i sign and properties of typical concrete and steel construc tion members. Advancements in the field of structures will be shown through the use of tilt-up con struction, which is relatively new to the engineering field. Through its use, concrete walls may be constructed on the ground and raised into place. Soil Displav A soils display has been de vised, showing the effect of controlling seepage and flow of water by the use of ad mixtures in the soil. An extensive display of sur veying as used in distance measurement will be shown, accompanied by a short film concerned with optical tools. A display illustrating the work of the Corps of Engin eer's work on the flood con trol of the Missouri River will show a working model of Gavins Point dam near Yank ton. S. D. All displays will be shown by students who will explain their operation and use in the engineering profession. Newsmen from 13 European nations will visit the campus next week as part of a 4- week tour of the United States. A tour of KUON-TV, a visit to the School of Journalism and a trip to the Nebraska tractor testing laboratory will be part of the 3-day Lincoln tour by 34 newsmen. Nebraskan Coffee The Daily Nebraskan will sponsor a coffee - the news men April 27. All foreign stu dents at the University have been invited to attend the c-ffee, which will be in Union at 5 p.m. "This is the only opportun ity the foreign journalists will have of meeting informally with students from their home countries attending American colleges," said Dick Shugrue, editor.

For Science Teaching Three hundred and fifty sci ence and research representa tives attending the annual 2-day Nebraska Academy of Sciences at the University were reportedly challenged to demonstrate their belief in the importance of the elementary and high school teacher's work. Dr. Herbert Smith of Kan sas University said that, "If you publicly demonstrate that you believe the work in sci ence in the local schools is important you will have gone far toward assuring its im provement." Dr. Smith noted 6 sugges tions for improving quality of science instruction in elemen tary and secondary schools: 1) Improvement of college training of teachers. 2) Selective admission of future teachers to keep "those who should never enter the classroom out." 3) Constructive criticism of schools. 41 Obtain better teachers on priority over buildings, facili ties and other secondary con siderations. 5) Recognition of secondary education's dual function of terminal and pre-school train ing. 6) Assistance as resource people on high school stu dents' or teachers' problems. Scientific papers ranging from negative helium ion in hydrogen to yellow - bellied sapsuckers were presented during the 2-day meet. The 10 Nebraska high school seniors who are winners and honorable mentions in the Ne braska Science Talent Search were honored at the Academy annual banquet Friday night. Dr. Robert Bowman, Univer sity geography professor, was the speaker. A Saturday highlight was the Lincoln District Junior Academy exhibit at Univer sity High School.
