Med Study
Facility
Gets Grant
The University has received
a $143,337 grant for the con
struction of a health research
facility at the Omaha hospital.
The grant is from the U.S.
Department of Health, Educa
tion and Welfare.
Chancellor Clifford Hardin
said the facility will be part of
the addition under construc
tion at the College of Medi
cine. The health research facility
was optional when the con
tracts on the new addition
were awarded last December,
depending on approval of the
grant.
A total of $500,000 has been
received this past year in
grants for research projects,
according to Dean Perry Toll
man. This compares with $60,000
in 1948, Tollman said.
The research area will con
sist of 15,236 square feet of
floor space devoted entirely to
the expanded research pro
gram at the College.
TU Student
Drags Cross
As Protest
A University of Texas stu
dent was threatened with ex
pulsion recently for dragging
a 6-foot wooden cross around
the TU border recently.
"I'm doing this in protest
against legislative control of
values," the art sa'dent said.
Clad in white CiOth strips
and topped by a crude mes-quite-thorn
crown, the stu
dent dragged the cross for
about 200 yards.
Reason for his protest was
a bill introduced by four Tex
as legislators that would re
quire state-paid teachers to
swear they believe in a su
preme being. The legislators
charge that atheists are teach
ing in the major state col
. leges.
"You won't be a student to
morrow if you do this," was
the warning given the bearded
art student.

paper.
- This will be achieved by
not moving, while the "lib

will be hustling and bustling
so rapidly that they will just
whizz over the side."
The group discovered that
the earth was flat when one
of its members nearly step
ped off the edge. She was
saved by an elephant who
stepped in front of her.

Sari, Overshoes
Indian Woman Is
Of Orient, United
By Marilyn Coffey
White overshoes peeping from under
neath a full-length blue sari, Mrs. Arati
Sen probably resembled most Indian
women in America, a curious blend of
the Orient and the West.
Mrs. Sen ii a graduate assistant in ed
ucation. She came to the United States in
January, 1957, with her husband who is
completing his doctorate in animal pari
sitology. Husband Chosen
A Hindu woman, her husband was chos
en for her by her parents as is the general
custom in India.
She did not see him before she was mar
ried, although she said she "heard a lot
about him." The boy or girl may reject
the marriage plans, Mrs. Sen said.
Her marriage ceremony, like that of
many Indian girls, was performed in her
home by a Hundu priest. On her right
arm, she wears a bracelet, symbol of her
marriage.
Sari Drape
Had she lived in another Indian prov
ince, she might have draped her sari over
her head or decorated her forehead with
a red substance to indicate her marital
status.
The divorce rate in India hardly exceeds
one per cent, Mrs. Sen said, and is com
mon "among the Christians, mainly."
Hindu law provides for divorces al
though they are quite rare. 1
Vedic Age
Women in India in the Vedic Age (3000
1500 B. C.) were important organs of the
society. They played an active part in the
religious, political and social life of the
community.
Women wrote In the Hindu holy book,
elaborating fundamental philosophical
principals. They also composed hymns.

Technique
"We also try to teach bet
ter techniques for how to
learn from reading," said
Mrs. Leona Shahani, instruc
tor. "Many people read almost
all kinds of reading material
at nearly the same rate of
speed. We try to eliminate
these slow reading habits so
that one can read according
to a particular purpose."
"Most of the students com
pleting the course in the past
have shown that they can
double or more than double
their reading speed and in

and Portugese, hindered the progress of
the Indian woman, Mrs. Sen said. The
men, fearing marriage not only with West
erners but with other groups, made their
women stay in the home.
Into Seclusion
The women was virtually secluded. No
longer could they participate actively in
their society.
"Their active spirits faded away," Mrs.
Sen explained.
In India today, the women are again
taking equal rights with the men in social
and political affairs.
The revival of national spirit and tra
ditional culture accounts for this, accord
ing to Mrs. Sen. The governor of West
Bengal, Mrs. Sen's home province, is cur
rently a woman.
Women Ambassadors
The role of ambassador to both the
United States and the Soviet Union has
been played by a woman.
"The women in general are very polite,
reserved, and submissive and hospitable,"
said Mrs. Sen. "They possess the greatest
aesthetic and moral senses."
"I'm very interested in religions," she
commented, adding that she goes frequent
ly to Christian services although she is a
Hindu.
"Indian music has descended from the
sacred chants of ancient India," she said.
Primitive Purity
It has retained much of its primeval
purity in spite of its complex evolution.
"Unlike Western music, which has elab
orated its secondary element, harmony,
at the expense of the essentials of melody
and rhythm, Indian music retains its
roots in pure melody and rhythm."
"The subtle and intricate interplay of
these essentials is its essence," she ex
plained. ,
