NU Benefits "The University has bene fitted from these students," he explained. "We now have alumni all over the world, and in responsible positions in their home countries, too." Dr. Rosenlof has been the foreign student adviser since 1945, immediately following World War II. He was not officially recognized by the Board of Regents with the ti tle until he retired as Dean of Admissions three years ago. Gifts from various, coun tries decorate the top of his , bookcase in his office and he reports, that "I have many pther beautiful things a t Some1.

'Greatest Institution He called the House the greatest institution "f o r in ternational understanding built anywhere." "My most regrettable expe rience was when the Interna tional House here was dis banded for a Faculty Club," he explained. "It resulted in the defeat of n international center on the campus." Dr. Rosenlof received his Masters' Degree from the University in 1922. Then, in 1945, as Dean of Admissions, he began to receive letters from students in other coun tries who wanted to attend the University. . Personal Letters "There were practically no international students here then," he said. "I wrote to "each one personally, telling him about the University."

Revision of1 SC Charter Suggested The Student Council judici ary committee recommended Wednesday that the Council constitution be revised and brought up to date by next year's Council. Gary Frenzel, in present ing the committees report, stated that the constitution was disorganized because of so many amendments tacked on the end and that provision for representation should be changed. due to the fact that two colleges have switched to 4 and 5 year curriculums. The Council adopted the re port with one dissenting vote. dents come from Iran, with many from Turkey, China and India. Dr. Rosenlof praised the "growing interest in the citizens of this community and state in these young people." However, he saiu he was disappointed that not more U.S. students were interested in foreign students. "Why don't some of the or ganized houses invite some of these students over for dinner on Monday night?" he asked. "They could ask them to tell about their countries, and the house members could tell about America. It would be a rich experience for both." Dr. Rosenlof also expressed the thought that some of the international students might be invited to live in an or ganized house for a semes ter. Visits Desired "One of Mrs. RosenloFs and my strongest desires is to visit the. home countries of some of these young peo ple," Dr. Rosenlof said. He added that the Rosen lofs would be living in Lin coln after his retirement and would continue their Interest in the foreign student pro gram, although not ca the campus.

The 250-member Air Force brigade was led by Robert Aden, cadet wing command er.

The Daily Conducts College ences College was solved yes terday Dy an informal, unpe titioned recount by the Uni- tion because the Board of Re gents had advised him that they were going to investi gate the College. However, a copy of the letter the regents sent to Romans failed to re veal any intent to investigate. Holman Denies Statement Misunderstanding Still Not Cleared Nate Holman Jr., a member of the University Alumni As sociation, indicated that he did not tell Sen. Jack Romans of Ord that the Board of Regents would investigate the school's College of Law. Romans had said, after withdrawing his resolution for a legislative investigation of the college, tfiat he had under stood from talks with Holman and a letter from John Sel leck, board secretary, that the Regents would investigate. The letter from Selleck failed to verify this. Holman said that he told Romans only that the senator should make any information about University hiring poli cies available to the Regents. "If the evidence is suffi ciently strong they (the Re gents) would have to investi gate," Holman said he told Romans. A group of a half-a-dozen legislators may try to talk in formally with Chancellor Clif ford Hardin concerning the hiring problem. The letter from Selleck to Romans said that the Board of Regents has the legal au thority to hire staff members. "We should like, therefore," the letter continued, "to in vite you to present to the Board any information you may have pertaining to its employment practices." George Round, director of public relations, said this let ter was the only official action of the Board, as far as he knew.

Choice Schedule Bits Fly 12 Hour Plans Prevail "But 111 never be able to get up that early every day "Why you're nuts to take a course from that guy." "Imagine that no morning classes free for coffee oa Monday, Wednesday and Friday." The above have been typical comments of campus stu dents as that time of year for arranging class schedules rolls around once more. And the perfection which everyone wishes to attain la their schedules once again seems to be missing, judging from the frantic searching of class schedule books, the de cisions to take only a dozen hours of classes and the smash ing of pictures of the Administration Building. Some specific comments below give cross-section of the feelings about the schedules most people have pulled. Tha names are psuedonyms to protect the interviewed and especially to protect the writer: Etaoin Furd, grad student in cuisine (his name always seems to pop up) : "It is disappointing that a man of my caliber must ba destined to the dark despair of the schedule that I must take. It is with a deep regret that I announce that I have five 8 o'clocks, three noon classes, two afternoon labs, a four-hour lab on Saturday morning and one evening semt nar." Everett Klautze, sophomore in knife-sharpening: "Like, man my schedule is bad. I gotta get outta the pad to hit my classes real "early next semester like, and tha profs I have, well, you know, they're kinda like way out" Wanna Betta, junior in Alaskan forestry: "Im just going to have a really keen schedule. Why it's so peachy. I'm in Alaskan forestry you know, and 14 of the 15 flours I'm taking I'll get to earn when we gi to Juneau, you know. And we only have to stay one day." Y. Not, senior in agreement: "It is just, fitting and proper that I have arrived at such a suitable schedule. Despite the fact that I have two four, hour labs and 8 o'clock lectures every day in this one hour course, insect dissection, I'm very satisfied. You know why, because I've been accepted into Cal Tech. I'm leav ing." Orang Utang, freshman in beak banding: "So why sweat class schedules. I'm flunking out of school." Wednesday, May 6, 1959 ecoun Election a recount of the IBM results is permitted and a similar re quest would be valid by any student involved in the eleo tion. E. Moses, head of the IBM Department, enumerated tha two chief causes of ballot re jections and voidments. Haste a Factor Haste on the part of. the stu dents when voting, thus failing to read or not following the directions rei rring to the spe cific number and-or sex of candidates to be elected, was cited as one reason. The other is the failure ef the students to fill in the bal lot in the correct manner. Ballots which were marked reasonably close to the pre scribed manner were counted by hand by a committee, Moses stated. Recounts Possible Students who desire re counts are welcome to do so, according to Schick and Moses. Moses said that the "devices used to count the ballots are mechanical and are not above erring. The ballots were counted with one faculty member present and the ballots will be kept by the senior Student Council advisor for a period of thirty days after the elec tion for the purpose of re counts, as is stipulated in the Council Constitution. USC-NU To Swap Teachers A teaching exchange will bring a professor of economics to Nebraska from California and will allow a University professor to spend his. sum mer there. Dr. Edward Schmidt pro fessor of economics, will teach at the University of Southern California during the summer session. In return, Dr. E. Bryant Phillips, associate professor of economics at the California school, will teach here. Dr. Phillips will teach not only principles of economics but also a course in home eco nomics. His text is currently used here in the home eco nomics course. Last year, Dr. Phillips was one of 50 winners of a national contest sponsored by the Committee for Economic De velopment New York City. Each entry wrote a 2,000-word paper on the question, "What is the most important eco nomic problem to be faced by the U. S. In the next 20 years?" Dr. Phillips Is a graduate of the University. He has taught at Southern California since 1947.
