Education Center
Goes Before State
Drive Goal Set At $1,142,000
For NU Kellogg Center
The proposed continuing education center at the Univer
sity goes before the people of Nebraska this month In an
effort to raise $1,142,000 in matching funds, thus making
available a $1.8 million dollar grant by the Kellogg Founda
tion. Facts about the would-be center and the operation of its
program are explained in a 19-page booklet prepared by the
University, which will be used
In the fund drive.
Plea For Support
In a plea for support from
Nebraskans, an introductory
message signed by Chancel
lor Clifford Hardin and C. Y.
Thompson, president of the
Board of Regents, states:
"The University solicits
your Interest and support for
this project in the firm belief
that it is, by all odds, the
greatest opportunity Nebras
ka has had to extend the In
fluence of education since
the State wat founded."
Continuing Education is de
fined in the booklet as "a
systematic effort to help peo
ple make the most of their
abilities amid changing
times.
Centers Aims
"The importance of this ef
fort has increased tremen
dously in recent years. Here
are some of the reasons why:
"1) New methods, new
techniques, and even new
knowledge, are being intro
duced much faster than ever
before. . . an increasing num
ber of people are finding it
necessary to re-enforce their
knowledge and training.
"2) The older any success
ful society grows, the more
complex it becomes. . . the
greater its need for the serv
ices of people with training
and educational backgrounds.
" 3) The productive leader
ship of the nation, m au
fields, has recognized that
the U.S. is indulging in a
great waste of human ability
. . . which the American peo
ple simply cannot afford in
view of the gains being made
by international competitors.
A program of continuing edu
cation can avoid much of this
waste by giving specific, sys
tematic attention to:
(a) Stimulating the desire
of young people to continue
their formal education;
(b) Providing brief, con
centrated, and recurring in
structional and training
courses for people who have
not gone to college and for
those who do not plan to go
to college;
(c) Attending the voca
tional needs of people active
ly engaged in professional,
business, industrial govern
mental and civic life; and
(d) Utilizing the experi
ence and talents of senior
citizens who are bored with
the retirement to which
many of them have failed to
adjust.
"In comparing the Univer
sity center to those already
established at Michigan
State and the University of
Georgia, the booklet points
out that it "differs in one
major respect," in that "the
Nebraska plan includes in
structional programs for
young people: short summer
courses for those in high
school and a variety of in
struction for those out of
school."
The question, "Why Not
Use State Funds?" is an
swered by the booklet.
"There are no state f u n a s
available."
Levy Fund
An institutional building
fund tax levy, set up by the
legislature in 1947, originally
intended as a 10-year pro
gram was extended with lim
its and "cannot be stretched
to cover the center project,"
the booklet points out.
Dean A. C. Breckenridge,
assistant to the Chancellor,
stated that the booklet is now
being circulated and is
'available for the purpose of
trying to explain the center.
Gifts and pledges to the
center may be made directly
or through the University
vminHatinn. 106 Love Memo

Nebraska. Pledges may be
made payable over a tour

Man-Made Device
An authority on space trav
el, Dr. Levitt has urged the
U.S. to take the lead in
launching a man-made device
into space before Russia does
so "with its possible tremen
dous psychological repercus
sion throughout the entire
world".
He proposes a satellite that
would travel continuously
around the earth at a height
of 200 miles. Such a man
made moon, he said, would
provide many answers to
questions scientists bound to
the earth might take many
years to solve.
In addition to being consid
ered one of the country's most
respected astronomers, Dr.
Levitt invented the world's
first interplanetary timepiece
to aid in charting journeys in
to space.
The device, known as the
Hamilton Space Clock is de
signed to determine compar
ative passage of time by the
day, hour, month and year
on earth and on planets in
outer space.
"To all space explorers, the
clock would be a matter of
life or death," Dr. Levitt ex
plains. "For instance, they
would need it to time depar
tuxes from earth in order to
reach destined spots on anoth
er planet during daylight
hours, and at a suitable sea
son. Also, it would be mighty
handy in calculating the pre
cise timing of their homeward
journeys.
Calculations
This first inter-planetary
clock has been designed for
Mars since it is "the planet
most likely to be the first vis
ited by man once he has es
caped the gravitational bond
age of earth," according to
Dr. Levitt.
Astronomical calculations
relating time on other planets
could be made as well, mak
ing provision for the differ
ent times it takes each plan
et to rotate, he said.
Following Dr. Levitt's ad
dress, an informal discussion
will be held at 2 p.m. in the
Student Union.

Contests
Election
Dick Shugrue, when con

thought he would take action,
today. This will give me time
to study the procedure, h
said.
Shugrue seW;
"This is an example of tht
obvious mishandling of the
election procedure which goes
to demonstrate that a total
revamping of the election pro
cedure is in order.
"Although George Porter
was elected, the misinforma
tion on the official ballot goes
to demonstrate once again the
urgent need for a revaluation
ot our election procedures.
"The democratic process
which opens the path for qual
ified write-in candidates is
squelched by the present pro
cedure and deprives electors
of the opportunity of exercis
ing meir tree judgment in an
election.
"The failure of the council
either to know the candidates
or to place them in their nro-
per order on the official post
er designating their name and
college, is a third example of
me Dungung of the procedure
by the council.
"Perhaps this mishandling
should dictate first the re
vamping of the election pro
cedure and secondly a new
election.
"Personally I stand bv the
right of the student to vote
for any candidate he so
choses who is in good standing
in the university without be
ing deprived of his democrat
ic rights.
We students have s h I a
job ahead of us and must
work together to make the
Student Council the effective
tool it should be in governing
our lives."
