ferring to the girl, Isabelle
Eubank, was uncovered dur
ing the preparation of the
manuscript for publication.
A clue to Isabelle's fate
was discovered in the book
"Mollie", in which Mrs. San
ford relates:

Roper and two children. . . I i

Nebraska,
Turkey Have
Similarities
Dr. Turgut Sarpkaya, one
of two Turkish engineering
instructors at the University,
said that his government
could not have picked a better-suited
college than the
University after which to
model Ataturk University.
Although the area, located
in Turkey, is mountainous, its
broad plateaus resemble the
plains in Nebraska, he said.
The climate is also similar,
with temperature extremes
ranging from sub zero to 110
degrees.
Dr. Sarpkaya, an associate
professor in engineering me
chanics, has been here for
three years. He received his
doctorate from Iowa State
University and was an in
structor at Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology. He
then returned to Turkey to
fulfill his one and one-half
year military obligation be
fore coming here.
Dr. Sarpkaya said that
despite different cultural
backgrounds, the result of the
parallel in physical environ
ment has produced people of
matching character.
The other Turkish engineer.
Sabri Sungu, said that the
Nebraskans from the Univer
sity are doing a wonderful
job in helping establish the
new university.
Sungu joined the Engineer
ing College staff in 1957. He
received his education in Eng
land and the United States,
then worked as an engineer
in Turkey for several years.

Cattle Research
Under Study
At Fort Robinson
i Three of the most impor
tant fields in beef cattle re
search are being investigat
ed at the Fort Robinson Ag
Station! '
Research on developing
the most effective breeding
practices, research on repro
ductive .problems to find
ways of increasing calf crops
and nutrition-management
studies on wintering, sum
mer grazing, and fattening
phases of beef production are
the three areas in which re
search is being done.
Dean W. V. Lambert of the
College of Agriculture re
ports that the research pro
gram was important to Ne
braska which derives 40 per
cent of its income from beef
cattle.
Funds for the research
program are derived from
state tax money and from the
sale of cattle used in the ex

station.
