Far Eastern
Institute
Scheduled
Sakai Will Direct
Summer Project !
One of the Midwest's first
Institutes on Far Eastern Af
fairs will be initiated this
summer by the University.
Dr. Robert Sakai, who
spent the 1955-56 school year
in Japan doing research on
the 19th Century Japanese

formal course.
"It is our hope that this
Institute will be a basis for
stimulating interest in the
study of the Far East in our
hgh schools.
Interest Awoke
Until five years ago, little
interest was shown in the
midwest in the study of the
area, but because of its grow
ing importance in world af
fairs, it is necessary that our
students have knowledge of
the various aspects of the Far
Eastern societies, Dr. Sakai
said.
The Board of Regents ac
cepted a $2400 grant from
Asia Foundation, the Asia
Society, Inc., and the Japan
Society, Inc. Saturday, which
will finance from 10 to 12 fel
lowships for students attend

program planned

For the first time, an ex

from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Stu-
dnets will out receipts when
they hand their books in, and
set the price they wish to ask.
"We advise that they ask
about 50 of the price of the
book new", Tempero said,
or try to hit a point mid
way between the price they'd
receive at a commercial book
store and what they would
have to pay for the book."
Adds 20c
He added that Alpha Phi
Omega then adds 20 cents to
the studen's price, for handl
ing costs.
Selling of the books will be
gin Feb. 2 through 4 and con
tinue from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
each day, in the Union Book
Nook.
The unsold books and the
money received tor dooks
sold will be handed back
Feb. 6 in the Union.
300 Sold
Last year, Tempero said,
500 books came into the pool
and 300 were sold.
"We hope to double that this
year", ne said.
The Book Exchange is un

Student Council and run by
Alpha Phi Omega, scouting

Experiment
Loup City Top
Students to Benefit
Four members of the Uni
versity faculty are cooperat
ing this semester with Loup
City High School in a pilot
project aimed at motivating
and encouraging outstanding
students.
In cooperation with Loup
City superintendent of schools
Sam Porter, the University
professors and eight outstand
ing Loup City citizens will
conduct weekly evening sem
inars on various subjects in
the humanities. The profes
sors will help conduct four of
the seminars and will serve
in an advisory capacity in the
selection of reading lists.
Some 17 students have been
chosen on the basis of quali
fying examinations, past
grades and teachers' recom
mendations to participate in
the seminar. No formal cred
it will be offered.
Project
The project evolved as a re
sult of Loup City's selection
by the North Central Associ
ation of Secondary Schools
and Colleges as a pilot school
in their "Guidance and Moti
vation of Superior and Tal
ented Students" program.
A similar program was
tried last year at Long Mount,
Colo, with the cooperation of
the University of Colorado
faculty members.
According to Dr. Walter
Wright, assisting dean of the
University's College of Arts
and Sciences and one of the
participating professors, one
purpose of the program is to
encourage the students to
form ideas for themselves.
Scholars
The program is an illustra
tion, he said, of what a high
school can do for top schol
ars under existing conditions.
Professors participating
from the College of Arts and
Sciences include Dean Walter
Militzer, professor of chemis
try, who will conduct a sem
inar with Dr. B. L. Miller of
Loup City on "The World of
Copernicus, An g u s Armi-
tage, and Dean Wright who
will discuss "King Lear."
Dr. Robert Dewey, associ
ate professor of philosophy,
will conduct a seminar with
Attorney Ernie Moehnert of
Loup City on "Thomas Jef
Lentz
add 20c for handling costs.
The books will be sold
from Feb. 2 to 6 in Room 1
of the Ag Union from 9 a.m.
to 3 p.m. Unsold books and
money may be picked up on
or after Feb. 6, according to
Norm Rohlfing, secretary of
the Agronomy Club.
"The exchange will take all
kinds of books, not just those
dealing with agricultural sub
jects," Rohlfing said. "We
hope this exchange will ease
the problem of buying books
on the Ag campus."

The ABC's of alphabet

well. So do the E, F, G, and

That seems to be the opin

Dr. Hoover smiled as he
looked over the M and N

we have had no bottle necks

All nominations for the

the Daily Nebraskan office in
the Student Union basement

One senior or graduate stu

Persons previously nomin

las Williams, Louis Cromp
ton, Dr. William Hall who is
not eligible due to his position
on Pub Board, Lyle Hansen
and Terry Mitchem.
Don Lentz
The letter of nomination for
Donald Lentz was the joint
effort of five persons who
have worked with him.
In part, the letter read:
"When Donald Lentz came
to the University in 1937, he
brought with him a wealth
of musical experience gained
while playing flute under
some of the world's great
conductors in the New York
Symphony, t h e Barrerre
Symphony, the Sousa Band
and in theater, ballet and ra
dio. "During the first four
months of 1957, he and his
wife visited the Orient on a
Woods Fellowship for the pur
test will come today when
the backlog of people who
could ot register Monday
converge upon the building.
Bob Blair chairman of
the council committee, not
ed the lack of complaints
about the new system.
Many suggestions have
come in, he said, but only
one criticism about the plan
being unfair when it rotates
in the spring.
Calm Coated
The usual frenzy and fe
ver of registration was coat
ed by a clam and rather or
ganized group of people go
ing about the business of
pulling their cards.
There appeared to be no
red faced or tear stained
pose of setting down folk
music, still undiluted by
western influence.
"Professor Lentz has
brought recognition not only

to the University Band but to
the University as a whole.
Last spring the band was one
of seven from throughout the
nation invited to perform at
the Brussels Worlds Fair.
"A crusader for better

sor Lentz is given credit for
the building of Band Day at
the University, which now
serves as a model for such
events across the nation.

The straggly lines of peo
ple blocking the English,
business, or engineering
sections also seemed to
have dwindled.
Proud Pointer
Dr. Hoove'1' proudly point
ed out that the longest line
on the first day consisted
of 20 people.
It was cleared in ten
minutes, he added.
The average time for a
complete registration was
clocked at 20 minutes, ac
cording to Blair.
He also emphasized that
Tuesday would be the test
day for Nebraska's newest
dish alphabet soup.

"Last year Dr. Carter was
informal spokesman for a
group of 11 University pro
fessors who struck out at the
laxity in requirements for
Teachers College. His idea
and theirs was that teacher
certification be placed in the
hands of the instructors in
the students major field.
"Dr. Carter and the other
10 professors were immedi
ately silenced by what seem
ed to be a coalition of Teach
ers College and its friends in
Adminny HaU. These men
undoubtedly realized the po
sition in which they were
placing themselves, a;.d it la
a tribute to their integrity
that they chose to speak nev
ertheless." Schrag Active
The writer of the nomina
tion for Larry Schrag said,
"To be awarded such an hon
or as Outstanding Nebras
kan, a worthy candidate
should have given a great
deal of time, interest and pa
tience to activities and or
ganizations, scholarship and
the well-being of the Univers

"As a freshman, Larry was
a member of Junior IFC and
Varsity Men's Glee Club. In
his sophomore year he joined
two organizations in which he
later became their chief:
Corn Cobs and the Cornhusk
