SUMMER NEBRASKAN
JULY 23,
Foreign Students
Keep Returning To
Nebraska Campus
"Forcicn students like it
here, they're treated like hu
man beings."
This was Professor George
Rosenlof speaking, the man
who s been advisor to foreign
students on NU's campus for
approximately 15 years.
Prof. Rosenlof, who is also
Dean of Admissions and Inter-institutional
relationships
emeritus ?nd professor of sec
ondary education, refers to
his work with foreign students
as his "labor of love.
"I feel that the American
student exchange program is
the most significant program
we have for building interna
tional understanding and
goodwill," he stated.
"We had about 250 foreign
students attending our univer
sity last year, and I expect
there'll be about the same for
this coming term", he said,
"they represent some 67 dif
ferent countries."
"They're appreciative of
our concern about their living
conditions, their study pro
gram and social life, they
keep coming back to work for
their degrees."
"Each foreign student is
treated as an individual
here," Rosenlof noted," we
try to help them with their
personal problems."
"The people of Lincoln and
Nebraska are very liberal in
their entertainment for these
visitors. They take them intQ
their homes and even on va
cations with their family," he
said.
"In this way, the students
are given a wonderful picture
of typical American life."
"There are nearly 50,000
foreign students attending
some 1,800 colleges and uni
versities in this country," he
pointed out, "and some 10,000
American students are study
ing abroad."
We're very proud of the
number of foreign students
we have here, especially
when we take into consider
ation the added traveling ex
pense to get to the middle of
th country."
"Approximately 400 foreign
students have graduated from
the University of Nebraska in
the last 15 years," he noted,
"we're rather proud of that
record."

Linguist Says Russian
Taken By Too Few
A Nebraska University in
structor teaching a language
that has been classified by
the federal government as
one of the ten "most needed
by American citizens" calls
it a "disgrace" that only six
people are taking her course
this summer.
Mrs. Konrad Suprunowicz,
a native of the Russia Cri
mia, said that she felt more
people should learn the Rus
sian language, but that she
was "very pleased" with the
type of students that do
choose Russian.
"It isn't a requirement,"
she said, "so the students
that come to me are sincere
ly interested in learning."
In a recent bulletin on the
National Defense Education
Act, the Russian language
Your University What II Has To Offer
Lyman Hall Facilities
Help Important Research
"We have adequate equip
ment to do research work on
anything but radio-isotops."
Thus Dr. Robert D. Gibson,
chairman of the department
of pharmacology summed up
all available facilities at the
recently completed million
dollar Lyman Hall.
"A great deal of interesting
and important research is be
ing done here this summer,"
he noted.
"One project recently com
pleted by Dr. Burton dealt
with the testing of different
tranquillizing agents on white
rats. The results were used to
determine the value of these
agents in easing the pain f
dental surgery," he said.
"The rats are placed one at
a time inside a box made of
non-conductive material. The
floor however is electrically
wired."
"When a current is $ e n t
through the floor, it 'tickles'
the rat's feet, at the same
time a small bulb in the rear
of the cage lights," he stated.
The rat's only means of get
ting off the floor is by climb-
was chosen as one of the 10
most important languages
for the American citizen- to
learn for "the general better
ment of his country."
Mrs. Suprunowicz esti
mates that it takes the aver
age student two semesters to
gain a reading knowledge of
her language. After that
time, he should be able to
read Tolstoy in the original
with the help of a diction
ary.

"more precisely accurate" j
than the English. For in

"you go for the first time"j
or if "you go habitually" or
if "you are riding or walk-j

ing a wooden pole in the cen
ter of the cage.
"It doesn t take them long
to associate the light and the
electricity," Gibson stated," j
the second it lights, they're
up the pole. It generally takes
them about nine tenths of a
second to get off the floor
once they get used to the cur
rent," he said, "but with each
injection of the tranquillizer,
the reaction time is length
ened." "If the dose is strong
enough, they won't more at
all."
"In another test, we give
two sets of rats the same
cavity producing diet. One set
however, receives irregular
electrical currents through
their cage floor. After a desig
nated period of time, the two
sets are compared for .he ex
tent of cavities in their
teeth," he said.
"Through this test, we hope
to determine what influence
stress and strain in daily life
might have on cavities in the
teeth of humans," Gibson
added.
