The Nebraskan
State Leaders Recognize
Need for Ag Expansion
By Nancy Whitford
Taxation is not the only
economic factor to claim a
narrow base of support in Ne
braska. A growing number of lead
ers, the University among
them, have recognized a need
for further expansion and di
versification of agriculture.
The University feels Nebras
ka must make the transition
from production and process
ing of a limited number of
agricultural products without
delay "if the toal develop
ment of the state is to con
tinue at a satisfactory rate."
Report Prepared
To speed the transition, Sen.
Joe T. Vosoba of Wilber asked
for, and received, a report to
the legislature telling ways
in which the University could
help Nebraska achieve this
goal and eventually attract
more industry to the state.
"Research," the University
says and Sen. Vosoba con
firms, "is the key."
Through the years agricul
tural research has paid off.
Research contributed signifi
cantly to the development of
hybrid corn which in 1960
alone accounted directly for
$87.5 million in added corn
crop income in Nebraska.

members of all sub-rosas.
If so, then it seems that
Adminny, by not making an
issue of it, is just as apa
thetic and couldn't care less
about them than I person
ally do.
I figure when a sub-rosa
member starts trying to
feed me vodka and beer and
preach a bunch of tommy
rot and then brainwash me
into the vissicitudes of sub
rosaism, I'll sweat it. So,
far, however, I can't see
that they're doing enough
harm, or good for that mat
ter, that they shouldn't just
plain be ignored. Sorry for
the apathy, David.
A University official ex
pressed my sentiments per
fectly in an Omaha World
Herald story. The story was
carrying out with the cur
rent pooh-pooh campaign
sub-rosas, and all this offi
cial had to say about the
whole silly situation was
"It's spring." And that's
about the weight of com
ment that this uprising de
serves. This writer wants person
ally to nominate for the ti
tle of Outstanding Nebras
kan one Mr. Kent Broad
hurst. This boy, it in my
opinion, lacks very little.
The University art school
has practically shut him out
of their hallowed halls be
cause he is too talented as
an artist for them to cope
with. As the Devil in
"Damn Yankees," he was
polished actor. No doubt
he designed and helped con
struct many of the stage
sets, just as he designed the
costumes for the produc
tion. Such talent should be
recognized and lauded as J
loudly as possible. It s rare,
and even rarer to see some
one put it to as great a use
as Kent.
Speaking of "Damn Yan
kees," it was one of the fin
est productions I've seen in
a long time. I'm no doubt
offending Mr. Boroff, as
he'll probably find a great
many flaws in the technical
ities of the show. However,
as far as talent is con
cerned, it was hard to beat.
I may be a bit prejudiced,
but I thought Lola knocked
'em dead. As I said before,
you can't beat Broadhurst.
I loved it. Here's to bigger
and better of the same.
I now feel my own gigan
tic foot in my mouth and
the fist of my editor staring
me right between the eyes,
and so I'd best conclude this
"Hour of Truth." The above
is strictly opinion, and be
ing that only, does not nec
essarily reflect the views of
the management. I just
think if we really try, we
can find something of more
merit to discuss, think
about, crusade for (or
against, as the case may
be), and utilize for stimu
lation of any thought which
might remain.
Dr. Fred Hultz, age 68, for many years President of the North Dakota State
University of Agriculture and Applied Science at Forgo, North Dakota, has
resigned for reasons of health, effective July 1, 1961. Please send applica
tion direct to Dr. A. E. Mead,. Commissioner of Higher Education, State

and poultry to meterorology,
food preservation, irradiation
of plastics and ground water
resources.
Livestock r e s e a r c h in
cludes work in beef cattle
breeding, nutrition, disease
control, rantie and d a s t u r e
management, carcass quality,
packaging and preservation oi
meat and transportation and
labor practices. The livestock
industry amounts to about
two thirds of the annual agri
cultural income.
Poultry research is ex
pected to reinforce commer
cial egg production by devel
oping a satisfactory sal
vage value for old hens
thus making it profitable to
maintain commercial laying
flocks.
Vegetable processing re
search is beine stepped up
in hopes that Nebraska might
be able to account for 10 of
the canned vegetable volume
in the U.S. by 1970.
Meteorology and climatol
ogy funds have been requested
to permit employment ot a
meteorologist and climatolo-
gist to study methods of mod
ifying the weather.
Food preservation studies
are being conducted to learn
methods of retarding deterior
ation and spoilage of foods. .
New crops such as castor
beans, safflower, and cape
marieold are being studied to
establish their value, imporve

Peace Corps
(Continued from page 1)
"The Peace Corps can help
the U.S. change the image
which other people hold
that we are a nation interested
only in the dollar and that
we give aid only with strings
attached, commented Dr. Ol
son. "The program can devel
op a spirit of helping other
people help themselves. As
youth become immersed in
the cultures of other nations
they will become more famil
iar with the role of the U.S.
in the world."
Dr. Sakai emphasized, "Our
Peace Corps crusaders must
go out with the attituc of
trying to understand the '-
er individual, to try his k i,
and1 learn' his customs not
to look down upon him. We
must go out not with the idea
of revolution but with the idea
of helping others achieve their
own legitimate aspirations.
Dr. Fry went a step fur
ther, "To be effective, the
member must have before
hand a complete knowledge
of the culture of the nation
in which they will work,
knowledge which only a rig
orous background in the his
tory and especially the lang
uage and anthropology of the
nation can provide.
"For example, how would
the youth corps worker react
when he saw two men in
Arabia walking down the
street holding hands, to them
a gesture of friendship?
Or what 'would the Peace
Corps volunteer do if when
eating at a friend s home in
India, he was served pork

Enzymes from fungi and
bacteria are being studied to
learn how enzymes act on
starches such as those used
by the paper, textile and ad
hesive manufacturing indus
tries. Rock materials and their
components are expected to
yield special industrial uses.
Ground water resource
studies show the availability
of ground water for all pur
poses. New systems of concrete
paving use precast, prestress
slab units with sliding joints
to relieve temperature stress
es. Small manufacturers are
being evaluated to develop a
detailed picture of their op
eration in Nebraska.
Public power planning,
marketing, rate making policy
repayment and cost allocation
studies are expected to be
completed this summer.
Rural zoning techniques,
statutory, judicial and admin
istrative, are being studied
with the possibility of sug
gested legislation at a later
date.
Physchological services to
business and industry are
being expanded to offer help
in personnel selection and in

situations such as these."
Dr. Anderson outlined the
course that the Peace Corps
might take in the future:
"In the next dozen years,
let us devote ourselves by the
thousands to this program
overseas. Then let's clean up
America remove her slums,
bury her dumps, paint our
fences, clean our windows,
and spruce up our roads.
"And then in 1976 let's in
vite the whole world to come
and see the product of 200
years of national indepen
dence and democratic gov
ernment. "Give a 25 per cent dis
count on expenses incurred
here and provide free passage
here. And when we have in
dulged in. festivities for a
year, we can start over again
abroad."

'Outstanding'
Award Goes
To Skalka
Bernard Skalka, a Univer
sity speech instructor, was
given the Outstanding Young
Teacher Award at the annual
Central States Speech Associ
ation conference in Chicago
Friday.
The award is given every
year to a young speech teach
er with less than five years
experience who has shown the
most professional academic
promise in the central states
area.
Skalka, technical director of
the University Theater, has
been at the University for two
years. He received his bache
lors and masters degrees
here-
Skalka pointed to what he
called "the deep satisfaction
I get out bf seeing my young
students reflect what I'm for
tunate enough to be able to
give them" as his reason for
choosing teaching as a career.
Skalka, formerly of De
weese, said he believed that
for teachers there is still no
substitute for a very liberal
education in the arts and sci
ences before preparing for a
narrower field.
Dr. Joseph Baldwin, associ
ate professor of speech and
dramatic art. at the Univer
sity, participated in a panel
discussion at the conference
in Chicago.

Eight Peace Corps Qualifications
Outlined; Are Strenuous, Varied
What is the Peace Corps
looking for in a volunteer?
The qualifications were list
ed in a recent news release
from Washington, D.C.
A special "needed skill" is
the first requirement. "T h e
Peace Corps was established
to respond to reauests from
host nations," according to
the bulletin.
The range of needed skills
is varied and very great.
Most nations requesting vol
unteers will be industrially un
derdeveloped. These countries
will want engineers, techni
cians, teachers, craftsmen and
administrators.
.. Agriculture
Other countries will request
aid in improving their agri
cultural system, creating a de
mand for farmers who under
stand the land and the use
of modern implements and
for agricultural specialists
with college degrees.
A need for government and
political science majors may
be created by a newly formed
nation seeking to establish an
effective government.
There is a demand for teac
ers in South Asia, Latin
America and Africa. Some
will be needed to teach Eng
lish, others to work in sec
ondary schools. Some nations
will request college-level
teachers in a wide variety of
subjects.
Experienced constru
tion workers, electrical techni
cians, and trained engineers
are in demand.
Appreciation
Second, a volunteer must
"understand that his is not
trying to remake the world
in our image." He must sin
cerely appreciate the values,
morals and traditions of the
society in which he works."
Third, the volunteer must
be "adaptable" enough to fui
fill . a difficult and perhaps
frustrating assignment.
The volunteer's individual
contribution to the total effort
may at times seem small or
may go unappreciated or un
recognized. '
WAA Installs
Board Members
The Women's Athletic As
sociation (WAA) Board menv
bers were installed at a ban
quet at the Cornhusker Hotel
recently.
Following a speech by Dr.
Dugley Ashton, Fran Johnson,
new president of WAA, was
announced as recipient of the
Mary Lee Award, a scholar
ship for the outstanding jun
ior on the board.
The Kappa Deltas, were
named the winners of the So
rority Participation Cup for
Intramurals.
KING MARKS THE REAL, THING!
Tareyton
A well-balanced personality
will be essential to the vol
unteer if he is to avoid frus
tration and disillusionment.
"The volunteer must not go
abroad seeking to solve per
sonal problems he cannot
solve at home.
Two Way Street'
Fourth, the volunteer should
realize that the Peace Corps
is a "two way street," that
the volunteer can expect to
learn as much as he teaches.
'His own horizons will be ex
panded and broadened while
he works in harmony with
his host nation counterpart.
Fifth, the volunteer should
appreciate and understand the
strengths of democracy and
how our system functions. He
must be adequately prepared
to answer the questions put
to him by the sincere doubt
er and the professional agi
tator.
Sixth, the volunteer must
have a knowledge of the host
nation's language and cus
toms. Intensive language in
struction will be included in
the Peace Corps program.
Seventh, the volunteer must

be in excellent physical con
dition. The rugged life in an
underdeveloped rural tropical
condition will make good phys
ical shape an absolute must.
Some volunteers will spend
two to three years under these
trying conditions.
The eighth requirement is
that the volunteer understand
what he is doing and "why
he is serving his country in
the cause of world peace."
"Men and women over 18
meeting these standards will
be welcomed into the Peace
Corps," Sergeant Shriver, the
program s Director said.
"At a critical point in his
tory," Shriver said. "The
president has placed an im
portant and difficult task in
the hands of our nation's
young people. The success of
the Peace Corps depends on
how well thew meet the stand
