Ataturk University Opens
In October TSU
Ataturk, "the Turkish Uni
versity of Nebraska," will
open Oct. 10, 1958.
The new university, named
after the founding father of
the Turkish Republic, Kemal
Ataturk, was modeled after
the University. It is reputed
to be the only university in
the near east Modeled after a
land-grant college.
Gov. Nurettin Aynuksa
of the Turkish province of Er
zurum discussing the opening
of the university said, "there
are no words to express our
joy."
The governor is on a 4-day
visit conferring with Univer
sity faculty members on ag
riculture, and international af
editor, Georges Gallean, com
mented that more and more
exchanges should be ar
ranged. He advocated bring
ing to America 15-18-year-olds
from the lower class families.
It is this group of repre
sentatives of the lower econ
omic classes who need to take
back the impression that the
American way of life is su
perior, he commented.
An intense curiosity in
schools and colleges in the
United States was expressed
by most of the journalists.
They asked for copies of the
required courses in various
colleges, and the number of
years it takes to graduate.
NU Deemed Spacious
Several commented on the
spaciousness of the NU cam
pus. They said that in Ger
many and Norway, the prob
lem is not how to build a
building, but where it can be
put.
As the talk ran to newspa-i
pers and radio, members of
the Spanish and German press
commented on how their
papers stress international
news rather than local events.
The first 3 pages of a Ger
man newspaper are usu
ally devoted to foreign cov
erage, one German radio
commentator indicated.
They said most colleges in
Europe do not have student
newspapers, and the journal
ists were very curious about
the operation of the Daily
Nebraskan.
One Frenchman described
his paper's operation, saying
that no effort was made to
separate the facts from the
opinions. The philosophy be
hind this, he said, is that
most people do not pay much
attention to editorials any
way. J-Sehool Visited
The foreign editor of Mad
rid, Spain's, largest daily,
Rafael Salazar, commented
that in the two schools of
journalism in the country, less
students are graduated every
year than from the J-School
at Nebraska alone.
In Spain, young journalists
spend much time studying
newspapers In English, he
commented. This is because
English and American papers I
are generally me -oesv ne
added.

Under a three year contract

the building of the new school.
A Nebraska mission, now

Students Quizzed
M a n y of the journalists
quizzed students to find how
well they were informed on
European problems. Several
of the newsmen remarked
that an increased awareness
of the world situation was
necessary.
One group of students and
German newsmen were dis
cussing words that were com
mon in both languages. One of
the students came up with
"Beer!" and the German
editor, beamed, threw out his
chest, and gave out an em
phatic, "Ya, B i e r." Interna
tional problems then faded
out of the picture for this
group as they pondered the
merits of the German brew.

Planetarium Draws Visitors
Thousands Tour
Newly released penitentiary
inmates, grade schoolers, mis
sionaries, star gazers and his
tory seekers these are just
a few of the people who have
run up to 50,000 the number
of persons who have toured
Morrill Hall since last Sep
tember. And the busiest season for
Morrill is now getting under
way, as schools throughout
the state converge on Lin
coln for their field trips.
In the spring geology stu
dents often begin to think
of themselves as prime dis
play S"etirious tourists peer
into geology classes.
Mrs. Marion Gilbert, tech
nical assistant and associate
curator of Zoology in the mn
eim said grade school
classes often come to draw
the animals, and high school
and college classes use the
museum displays to supple
ment courses in biology, zoo
logy and anthropology.
Each group of penitentiary
inmates who have served the
duration of their sentences are
given an orientation tour of
Lincoln. A swing trough
Morrill is part of this tour.
Guide Service
At present, there is no head
of the guide service. John
Howe, who is in charge of
the planetarium, is coordin
ator of the guide service, but
he spends most of his time
with the planetarium, accord
ing to Mrs. Gilbert.
"We have no definite tour
or lectures. Rather, we try to
fit our tours and information
to the needs of the group,"
said Mrs. Gilbert.
Many persons who wander
through the halls of Morrill
are interested in not only what
is shown, but how it is shown.
Recently a man from Africa
checked on how the habitat
groups were done so he could
ue the same ideas in his Afri
can museum.
