Surprises Dr. Schultz
By Janet Sack
Dr. C. Bertrand Schultz. director of the
University Museum, recently returned
from the International Association on
Quaternary Research (INQUA) Congress
held in Warsaw, Poland.
I certainly found INQUA to be verv
worthwhile flnH T was harvnv tn moM momr
SDecialists in various fields rf Ounternnrv
research," said Dr. Schultz, U. S. delegate
to the sixth Congress.
He said some 537 delegates from 5
countries met in Warsaw for the meeting
irom Aug. Z7-sept. 7. included in the dele
gation were some 30 renresentatives frnm
Russia and three from Red China.
A wide field was represented at the con
gress with soil scientists, geographers,
oceanographers, archaeologists, physical
anthODOlieists. ecolotrists. nalaenhntflnists
palaeontologists and meteorologists pres
ent,.
Impressed'
Dr. Schultz was Dartieularlv imnressAd
by the eeoloev of Poland. He said the
southeast part of Poland in particular is
quite similar to that of west-central Ne
braska. This is known as the T.nhlin Tin.
land region.
Dr. Schultz said he had verv little
trouble understanding talks nrespntpd at
the congress because thev were translated
into four different languages: English,
frencn, German and Russian.
Also at the congress Tr. Sr-hnltT rir o
brief illustrated report on the boundary
problem of the Pleistocene-Holocene age.
He also nresented a naner nn the "Pleictn.
cene Vertebrate Paleontology and Strati
graphy of the Central Great Plains of
North America" which will be published
in the INQUA bulletin series.
Dr. Schultz. who was accomnanied hv
his wife, said the people of Poland were
very friendly. But at this time there was
. a little bit of tension toward the U.S. be
cause of the Berlin situation.
Free Religion
Both Dr. and Mrs. Schultz were sur
prised at the religious freedom of the
Poles. He said all the religions of the
country work together. The delegates of
the Congress were told not to admire the
churches as museums because the people
took their religion seriously. Many shrines
dotted the city of Warsaw and they were
strewn with fresh flowers. The commu
nists don't seem to bother them.
Dr. Schultz noted that Warsaw has been
restored beautifully with very little evi
dence oL&he war remaining.
One of the most horrible, yet enlighten
ing, experiences Dr. and Mrs. Schutlz had
was touring the former concentration
camp at Lublin where about two million
Jews from Europe were exterminated dur
ing World War II by the Nazis.
Fingernail imprints remain in the ce
ment walls where the victims tried to
claw their way out of the death room, he
said.
Folkdance
On the brighter side of Polish life, the
Schultzes attended a folkdance festival at
,the Palace of Culture.
During the month (from Aug. 17-Sept.
17) that he spent in Europe he also visited
museums in Spain, Italy, Switzerland,
Denmark, Belgium, France and Britain.
"Seeing these museums gave me a bet
ter idea of the direction in which we could
develop," he said.
An added note of excitement to the Con
gress was the selection of the United
States as the site of the 1965 Congress with
Lincoln as the possible city.

Will Adults Let Them?

Editor's note: This is the fourth article In a series exam
wing the exodus of youth from the state of Nebraska,
pis story studies what can and is being done, accord
ing to leaders in the state, to keep young people here.
The final article, "Is the Grass Really Greener?" which
will appear Monday, is a series of interviews with young
people who have left and returned.
By Tom Kotouc
In examining what is being done to improve Nebras
ka and to interest youth in remaining in the state,
many adults would discount the part that youth can play
in strengthening our state and in mobilizing others to
take action and help her grow and become more attrac
tive. In an exclusive interview, Gov. Frank Morrison, said,
'We need greater areas of contact between business and
education, between the community and ts youth. We need
to work closer with the educator, who tan point out the
Opportunities in Nebraska to his students."
"We are losing youth to other states because youth
do not know the opportunities that exist here," he added.
Last July 1 concerned with the loss of youth from
Nebraska, Governor Morrison called together 20 state
youth to form the Nebraska Council of Youth.
Group Study
The group ' studied the problem through Interviews
with experts and youth and prepared a plan of action
to check this exodus. The greatest cause of youth leaving
the state was that youth were neither informed on the
potentials and opportunity ot the state nor able or inter
ested in taking a part in the solution of existing prob
lems. Adults had frequently and unintentionally ignored
their youth when they discussed local and state problems,
believing youth to be incapable and irresponsible.
Returning to their communities and campuses, these
young people discussed these problems at every oppor
tunity with their parents, other adults, and other youths,
trying to interest them in taking action to solve the prob
lems. ,
Project Action
In this phase of the program, called Project Action,
the young people sometimes were able to form discus
sion groups in their community or school which were
interested in studying the problem further. From these
groups in communities like Humboldt, Sidney, and others

12 and on Nov. 30, Dec. 7 and Dec. 14, the series
will pit young Nebraskans who are leaving the state
against those who are remaining or against adults who
have made this their home.
Yet this is a youth program and only serves if it
mob lizes student and adult interest and in building Ne
braska and in acquainting its youth with the state's po
tentials. Adult programs, like those outlined Wednesday
and like the following, play an equally vital role in im
proving the appeal of Nebraska to her youth.
Charles Chace, executive administrator for the Ne
braska Chamber of Commerce, in the absence of Presi
dent Ralph Misco, said that the Nebraska Chamber is
concerned with forming a better image of Nebraska for
its people. Since its organization, the Nebraska Chamber
of Commerce has emphasized five points for strenghening
the state.
First, industrial development through promotion of
the advantages of Nebraska's business climate was em
phasized, coupled with a search for industry.
Second, we emphasized the development of a tourist
trade. .-.
Presently, the Nebraska Chamber has stepped up its
efforts to promote tourism since the state is short of
funds. It has gone into forty-six communities already.
Last week Chace helped Indians set up an assembly line
in Mason, Neb:, to make souvenirs on a profitable basis,
part of the Chamber's broad program.
The third consideration is agricultural research, es
pecially in soil conservation and reclamation, to make
the state more attractive to agriculture and agricultural
industries.
Fourth, the Chamber has promoted public relations
and publicity of the state's economic strengths and his
tory. "Eighteen high schools have set up a "Know Your
Nebraska program," Chace said, to acquaint our students
with our diversified economy and products, recreation,
history, and the potential for economic development in
