Greater Past Year
Only One of
The annual report of the
Teachers College placement
division indicates the de
mand 'for University-trained
teachers took the biggest
leap ever recorded during
una past. year.
The report shows that
there has been an 11 per
cent increase in requests for
all students at the College
and a 20 per cent increase
in demand for students who
will teach in colleges.
Jump of 2,000
While there were more
than 16,000 requests made
for primary, secondary and
college teachers last year,
the number was over 18,000
during the 1958-59 school
year, Dr. Wesley Meier

To Head
New Group
Dr. John Weaver, dean of
tne university Graduate Col
lege, has been elected tem
porary chairman of the newly
formed Mid-America Associa
tion of State Universities.
He was also named chair
man of the executive com
mittee. State university representa
tives from six states met at
Kansas City, Mo., to discuss
a plan to pool research and
other upper-level training in
which duplications would be
avoided.
The group plans to initiate
a co-operative effort in which
specialized and costly re
search would be parceled out
to one school, working for
the benefit of all.
In addition to the Univer
sity, the following schools
were represented at the
meeting: The Universities of
Missouri, Kansas, Kansas
State, Oklahoma State, Colo
rado, Oklahoma State and
Iowa State.

Not for Oil
Derricks that might be
seen at the corner of 12th
and R Sts. are not up for the
purpose of drilling of oil or

"They are testing soil to
find the type of foundation
which will be necessary to
put up for a heavy stone
building such as the Sheldon
Art Gallery," Carl Donaldson
University business mana
ger, said.
This is a regular routine for
all construction, he said.
Drawings for buildings are
prpgressing rapidly and de
tails of international relations
of adjoining rooms are being
worked out, according to New
York architect Philip Johns

30 Requests Filled
made, only one can be filled
during the year.
Nebraska schools received
60 per cent of the school's
graduating students and al
though this is a slight de
crease over last year, 70 of
the state's 93 counties did get
a teacher from the University
Dr. Meierhenry said, "We
can't begin to satisfy all Ne
braska schools." In Nebraska
alone, there were 2,346 re
quests. Only 393 were filled
Larger Portions
Dr. Meierhenry pointed
out that, as in years past,
California, Colorado and Iowa
received the major portion of
the remaining 40 per cent,
"The real bind is just
around the corner," he said,
"There is going to be a criti
cal demand for college teach
ers m the early part of the
1960 s because of the 'war
baby' birth rate from 1945
to 1960."
Enrollment the Same
Dr. Meierhenry pointed
our there has been no in
crease in enrollment of stu
dents in Techers College this
year.
"In certain areas of the
United States, starting salar
ies of teachers are going up
sharply and are reflecting the
overwhelming demand," he
said.
Union Stops
Cafeteria
On Saturday
Student Union cafeteria food
service on Saturday is to be
discontinued, according to
Marty Kohlligian, Union food
director.
Kohlligian said that the
volume during the Saturday
noon meal, which was served
from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., did
not offset operational costs.
Volume reportedly drops
in the Union. During the foot
ball season and during the
fall, however, service is pro
fitable and again will be of
fered at that time.
Two hot plate luncheon
items are to be added to the
menu in the Crib as a sub
stitute for the discontinuance
of luncheon service. An eve
ning meal served on Sunday
also may be added if student
demand is strong enough.
Kohlligian said this service
would be directed to those in
the dorms and Greek houses
who do not receive meals on
Sunday nights.
He also said that luncheons
in the Crib were added "in
the hope that this facility
would be sufficient to replace
the cafeteria discontinuance."

Government
Surpluses
Louis Legg, manager of the
University's inventory see
tion, is responsible, among
other things, for the acquisi
tion and placement of sur
plus federal equipment and
supplies.
Recently obtained by
the University were five
jeeps, a heating and refriger
ation system for the physics
department for research of
weather effects on concrete,
lathes and compressors for
the maintenance section,
sprayers and related equip
ment for the College of Agri
culture, electronic equipment
for the College of Engineering
and sound absorbing material
for the department of speech.
The University is able to
obtain these items since all
schools in Nebraska are on a
priority outlet list when it
comes to the disposal of out
dated, damaged or surplus
federal supplies and equip
ment.
Legg explained that the fed
eral government turns over
the material to the state to
be stored and disposed of.
'There is no way of deter
mining just how much this
saves the Nebraska taxpay
er, t.egg said, Dut it runs
into a very substantial
amount each year."
He explained that many de
partments and colleges at the
University would have to wait
for years before receiving
enough budget money for cer
tain pieces of equipment if it
were not for the surplus ma
terial.

Switchboard
In Andrews
Is Rewired
Complete rewiring of the
electrical switchboard in An
drews Hall was completed by
the University maintenance
department prior to Christ
mas. Charles Fowler, director of
the- Division of Building and
Grounds, said the work was
made necessary because of
the increased use of electric
ity by the College of Dentis
try. Fowler explained that Den
tal College is keeping up with
the times in their use of com
plex equipment and as a re
sult more efficient electrical
conduits were made neces
sary. "The entire University uses
approximately seven per cent
more electricity each succes
sive year," he added.
In addition to the rewiring
work done during the h o 1 i-!
days, maintenance men are :
repairing and painting sev
eral men's and women's resi-1
dence halls, are replacing
second-story railings and are j
repairing the child develop-j
ment laboratory at the Col-j
lege of Agriculture. i
Sprains, Pulled Muscles
Keep Therapists 15usy
The social season may
bring an extra bit of business
to the physical therapy ae
nartment at Student Health.
Formal occasions often find
the girls with the perfect
dress but no suntan to go
with it. Some of them trek to
the physical therapy lab in
search of a sunlamp. ,
However, these visitors are
often disappointed when they
learn a doctor's prescription
is needed, even for a suntan:

Students Say
Classrooms
Beat TV
A University graduate stn
dent's thesis shows that al
though high school students
may learn as much in some
subjects by taking combined
TV-correspondence courses as
in the classroom, the student
till prefer the old way.
Leon Rottmann concluded in
his thesis for a Doctor of Phil
osophy degree that although
the attitude toward the sub
ject matter and teacher in
TV-correspondence instruc
tion is the same, the attitude
toward method favors the
conventional classroom tech
niques. Several groups of students
were compared by Rottmann
in the state. One group was
taking the combination TV
correspondence courses and
two others in small and large
conventional classrooms, all
taking the same subjects.
"In some subject areas it
is possible to teach more ef
fectively by the TV-correspondence
method . . . and in
other subjects it is not as ef
fective," the thesis stated.
It was also stated that
many factor contribute to
ward the success of TV-correspondence
study instruction
and that the effectiveness of
tiie method not necessarily
related to the levels of school
ability.
Rottmann is now teaching
in Albuquerque, N.M.

cal therapists of Student
Health, George Sullivan and
Mrs. Pat Bott, encounter in
their work.
According to Sullivan, the
largest percentage of their
work deals with acute in
juries such as sprains and
pulled muscles. Most of them
are the result of injuries re-s-u
1 1 i n g from intramural
s p o rts, physical education
classes and University ath
letic programs such as foot
ball and basketball.
The therapists also do rome
rehabilitation work with in
jured athletes. This requires
stretching muscles decapaci
tated by an injury.
The therapists also have
helped to rehabilitate students
suffering from paralysis
caused by polio.
Heat is the most effective
method for eliminating swell
ing and loosening taut mus
cles, according to Sullivan.
Other equipment used in
cludes a whirlpool, diathermy
machine, ultra sound and ul
tra violet machines.
The whirlpool i s used for
sprained ankles and agitates
hot and cold water alternate
ly around the ankle. The
diathermy uses electrical
deep heat. The ultra-sound
machine uses sound waves
at the rate of one million per
second, to stimulate circula
tion and heat.
Lab Features
Other features of the lab
include an exercise or re
habilitation room equipped
with a special exercise table
and different types of exer
cise equipment. Heat lamps,
parrafin baths and hot packs
also are used.
Sullivan pointed out that
the success of rehabilitation
was due to the patients' atti
tude. If they have the right
attitude half the batle is
won, he said.
He mentioned that many of
his patients complained of
pains in their backs. In many
cases this may be attributed
to poor posture. He said stu
dents are not as active, physi
cally, in college as they were
in high school due to less par
ticipation in athletic pro
grams.
The therapists treat an av
erage of 18 patients a day.
During the fall as many ai
30 cases a day are treated.
