his cagers against Stewart Air Force Base
of Newburgh, New York tonight. Tip-off'

The Huskers have won 566 and lost 535

"Coliseum Bear"
This will be Bush's sixth year as head
coach since coming from Toledo Univer

two of the biggest upsets of the season two

Kansas, with Wilt Chamberlain, and Kan- -sas
State, Big Eight champions.
Kansas State and Kansas were ranked
one-two in the nation at the time of the up
sets. The win over Kansas avenged an
earlier 102-46 setback.

Beatrice Hosts
Foreign Students Find
Visits 'Very Pleasing'
"Very pleasing" was the
description given by foreign
students after their recent
visit to Beatrice for the
Thanksgi ing holidays.
Twenty-one Beatrice fami
lies extended invitations to
the foreign students attend
ing the University. Twenty
one students accepted invita
tions and attended the
Thanksgiving festivities indi
vidually in Beatrice homes.
This marked the first time
a Nebraska community has
ever offered to entertain a
group of foreign students, al
though Iowa and Kansas
have programs similar to
this.
Many students already had
made plans for the holidays
and were unable to accept
the remaining invitations, ac
cording to Mrs. Olga Steele,
international student adviser.

other Beatrice residents who

he was 20. He still wore
the medals he had won in

about the significance of the

the same."

One student from Nigeria,,
Mr. Arewa, commented that
he was impressed most with
the "family life of the Ameri
cans." He called it the most
interesting time he had ex
perienced in his two-month
stay in the United States.
"There is a definite spirit
of freedom and an air of
simplicity that greatly im
pressed me," he said. He also
listed as impressive aspects
of American life the "cooper
ation of the wife in family
activities and the willing
spirit to help others."
"The best way of 'under
standing people of o t h e r
races is to know them. And
to know them, one must live
with them and share in the
discussions with them. This
way a better understanding
of others can be gained," he
said.
Invited For Christmas
He also said that he was
happy to be one of the many
recipients of the prevailing
"spirit of friendliness" and
the "willingness to help for
