ROf(J0ses Li. Col. Hamilton; Gains Col. Sullivan
By Tom Kotouc
Lt. Col. Richard Hamil
ton, professor of Air Sci
ence at the University, will
relinquish his command to,
Col. Frank E. Sulliyan -oh
May 29.
On July 15 he will assume
responsibilities as an Air
Force Member of the Joint
Plans Development Group
at Fort Bragg, N.C., to de
velop contingency plans for
tactical warfare of a limited
arena.
Serving as director of ed
ucation of the Air Science
Department since Sept. 1958
and professor of Air Science
since November of I960, Col.
Hamilton explained that the
present Air Force ROTC
program is not satisfying
the need of the Air Force.
Instead of developing a
large citizen force which
can be mobilized in time of
natibnal emergency, the AF
ROTC program should be
attracting men into the Air
Force as a profession.
Legislation presently in
Congress, pointed out Col.
Hamilton, will revamp the
AF ROTC program by the
fall of 1963, if approved.
Basic ROTC
Under it, the two years
of basic ROTC would be el
iminated. AF Cadets would
be selected instead at the
end of their sophomore year
through a nationwide com-
petitive exam based on the
needs of the Air Force for
officers in different academ
ic fields.
A scholarship of $50 a
month would be awarded to
all successful candidates for
the duration of college. The
present committment of four
years in the Air Force for
non-flying officers and five
years for flying officers
would not change.
The new program would
cut overall AF ROTC enroll
ment from today's 120,000
to 10,000 and reduce the
cost of turning out a 2rd
Lieutenant for the Air Force
from $7,500 to a more eco
nomical level. Cadets would
be required to attend two
summer camps of six weeks
duration before their junior
and senior years.
NU Benefits
The University would ben
efit as students from near
by schools without an AF
ROTC department would
transfer here to train as ca
dets and attend school their
last two years.
Col. Hamilton has a rec
ord of action with the B-17
during WW II as flight lead
er in the European theater.
Following the war he
served as an operations in
pector on the Inspector Gen
eral's team. From Febru
ary of 1950 through 1952, he
acted as Operations Officer
of Air Rescue Squadron off
Guam, returning to the U.S.
to the pentagon as a plan
ning officer in the office of
the Deputy Chief of Staff,
Plans and Programs Office.
Prior to his arrival in Lin
coln, Col. Hamilton trans
fered in 1955 to the War
Plans Division at Hdq., U.S.
Air Forces, Europe. Later
he served as Executive to
the Deputy Chief of Staff
Operations and as Chief of
the Command Post, Weis
baven, Germany.
Col. Hamilton in evaluat
ing the role of the Air
Force in the future envis
ioned the day when men will
fly in missiles on routine
basis and when missiles will
be launced from manned
space stations orbiting the
earth.
In respond to the reason
for the undermanned status
in Korea, Col. Hamilton not
ed that it is assumed that
the South Koreans would
fight to defend their country.
High U.S. manpower con
centrations in one area as
Korea would spread our
forces too thin elsewhere to
be effective.
Col. Hamilton's successor,
Col. Sullivan will come to
the University from Nellis
Air Force Base in Las Ve
Gas, Nev., where he has
held assignments as Air
Base Group Commander,
Deputy Wing Commander,
and Acting Wing Command
er. Col Sullivan has t e n
action in England during
WW II as a B-24 Squadron
Commander, Group Opera
tions Officer, and Wing Com
mander. A graduate and instructor
of the Air Command and
Staff College, Col. Sullivan
has spent two years in Tia
wan (Formosa) as Deputy
Chief, Air Force Section
and as one of the principal
advisers to the Chinese Na
tionalist Air Force and to
President Generalissimo
Chiang Kai Shek.

Trying out the new facilities in the recently com
pleted romance language library is a graduate assistant
in the department. Through the utilization of the lab, stu
dents can select material, record his own voice and re
play his responses.
NU Boasts One of Most
Unique Language Labs
The newly completed $17,
000 romance languages lab
ratory will make available to
French and Spanish students
one of the most unique recording-reproduction
systems
in the nation, according to
Dr. Hal Carney, assistant
prof, of romance languages.
Forty-two students can si
multaneously select material
from a library system of
twelve master units holding
six levels of Spanish and s'x
levels of French.
"Although the lab doesn't
take the place of the class
room teacher," Dr. Carney,
designer of the lab, empha
sized, "it allows the student
to drill orally, comparing his
work objectively with the
standard or master tape.".
Through the four miles of
wire and high quality mikes,
earphones, transistor ampli
fiers, and two-track Webster-
Electric recorders which are
used in the lab, oral mas
tery of the language over a
period of up to three years
of usage is facilitated.
A student could previously
only hear and repeat the
material recorded on a mas
ter tape at specified lab
times. Now it will be possi
ble for him to record both
the master tape and his re
sponse to it on his individual
recorder. As he records, the
response can be heard
through his earphones.
He then rewinds and plays
back the tape, comparing the
master with his attempt to
imitate it. The student then
may replay the master on
his recorder, recording a sec
ond response to each group
of statements over the previ
ous response which is auto
matically erased.
Repeating the process in
definitely, the student may
proceed at his own speed in
correcting weaknesses after
initially recording the mas
ter tape on his individual re
corder. Thus he does not in
terfere with another's later
use of the master.
Entering the lab at any
time from 8 a.m. -5 p.m. Monday-Friday,
the student may
contact the instructor at the
master console at any time,
conversing with him through
his mike and earphones with
out leaving his booth. Also,
the instructor may at any
i time monitor the student's
work.
tained a 7.1 average and is
now taking an honors course
and will complete her thesis
this summer.
Although Mrs. Schreiber
has been married for two
years, she has given much of
her time to the University
the nomination said. She
finds time to keep busy in
Mortar Board, go to school
and hold a part time job.
Miss Mulvaney
Miss Mary Jean Mulvaney,
an assistant professor of phy
sical education for women,
has been placed in nomina
tion for the Outstanding Ne
braskan faculty member
award.
Among Miss Mulvaney's
qualifications are the facts
that she is not only skilled
in her field, but she adds a
personal atmosphere to all of
her classes. She has been a
faculty advisor for the Asso
ciated Women Students
Board for several years, a
member of the Union Board
of Managers, the faculty ad
visor for Mortar Board and
in 1959, she was made an
honorary member of National
Mortar - Board, an honor
which few women on this
campus have ever received.
She was granted an extended
term as an advisor of Mortar
Board last year.
Miss Mulvaney's personal
qualifications are also ennu-i
merable, according to the
nomination. She has been
selected as the sponsor of the
Union Tour of Europe for this
summer.
While she leads the life of
the busiest person on campus,
she never fails to have a
cheerful smile and a delight
ful personality, said the letter.
She is a staunch supporter of
the students at the University
this is evident by the time
and energy she devotes to
them.
Dorothy Sellentin
Miss Dorothy Sellentin has
also been nominated for the
Nebraskan student award.
She has excelled in a diffi
cult double major of bacteri
ology and library science. Her
grade average has stayed be
tween the 7-7.5 mark during
her entire college career.
Her participation in activ
ities is another reason for
her nominaton, the letter
said. She has just completed
a term as president of Pi
Lambda T h e t a, Teacher's
College honorary, in addition
to being a member of Red
Cross board and Coed Coun
selor's board, a member of
the Dean's Advisory Board
in Teacher's College, an ac
tive member of Newman
Club and an officer of Delta
Delta Delta.
Bob Prokop
Robert Joseph Prokop has
also received a nomination
for the Nebraskan student
award. He has received a
master of science degree and
is now working on his Ph.D.
in chemistry.
Among his leadership ability
according to his nomination is
his serving as . one of the hosts
for a tour of Russians visit
ing the University campus.
He helped the program with
his ideas and understanding
of Russian, one of the five
langugages he speaks. This
is typical of the attitude of
this man, who has always
expressed himself openly and
frankly on Issues that are vi
tal to the University said the
letter.
. Prokop is also an excellent
teacher in the classroom, in
the laboratory and as a tu
tor. Many times he has ex-

tended his efforts to help stu
dents by spending extra time
after class with people who
needed help, particularly for
eign students encountering
language difficulty.
Prokop has taken an active
part in the Boys State pro
gram at the Ag College each
year, serving as a counselor
for three years. He has also
been an active basketball
and baseball player in ama
teur leagues throughout the
state.
He has also offered his ef
forts to the athletic depart
ment by helping to induce
high school athletes to come
to the University. He has
been a member of the
varsity basketball team.
He is a member of Phi
Lambda Upsilon, honorary,
and Kappa Sigma social fra
ternities. Dr. Young
Dr. George A. Young,
chairman of the department
of Veterinary Science and
distinguished researcher, has
also been nominated for the
faculty award.
Dr. Young's research work
in developing Specific Pathogen-Free
Swine has revolu
tionized hog production
through disease eradication.
He has been with the Uni
versity staff since 1955, and
has brought national and in
ternational recognition to him
self and to the University. He
was recently cited by the Ani
mal Health Institute for his
work on disease-free pigs and
was awarded the Institute's
fifth distinguished Service Re
search Award.
Dr. Young holds degrees
from the University and Cor

of the Year" by the Nebras-
Better Check Sex of Pepsters
By Dick Stuckey
Talk about layman inaccuracy!
Next fall, when the flurry of football
returns to the exhuberant hearts of the
bright clad official rooters, the Corncobs
and the Tassels ought check their ento
mology. According to Agronomy professors Wil
liam L. Colville and Dr. John II. Lonn
quist, the tassel is the male flower of the
Nebraska cornplant, and the cob, the fe
male flower of the surplus crop.
Our coeducational pep section has pulled
a double reverse.
The agronomists explained that the corn
plant is classified "monoecious" one hav
ing both male and female flowers under
the same roof, yet still in separate rooms.
That is, each ear holds both flowers, but
the male and female identity is not con
tained within a single flower.
They live together, but they're not
speaking.
The common teenage sport of detassling
involves the removal of tassels on certain
rows which renders them female. The un
touched rows leaves them, as far as a
hybrid interest is concerned, male.
Consequently, the sight of white-trous-sered
cobs and buxon-sweatered tassels
ought cause a cornfield to turn over in
its furrows.
Anyone interested in pursuing the mat
ter further is invited to consult the near

discussion may get biologically out of

the letter said.
Dr. Burt is always ready to
assist any student who has a
problem, constantly showing
genuine interest and person
