Center Will Host Symposium
Recognizing Homestead Act
The .Nebraska Center f o r
Continuing Education has
been selected as the host for
the Homestead Centennial
Symposium, according to Dr.
Arthur Ward, director of con
ferences for the Nebraska
Center.
Plans for this conference
began before the Nebraska
Center opened last June.
Because the first homestead
in the nation under the Home
stead Act was near Beatrice,
Neb., the Nebraska . Center
was chosen to commemorate
the centennial. '
The historic, economic, geo
graphic factors in the estab
lishment of the act and the
effectiveness of the act are
to be presented during a three
day meeting in June.
Representatives of the Ne
braska Center, the Nebraska
Historical Society, the Gov
ernor's office, the University
and several other schools in
.the Midwest met to establish
the objectives of the confer
ence. Objectives
The planning committee de
cided that the objectives of
the Homestead Symposium
would be to review the his
torical features of land policy
in the United States; to ex
plore the geographic, econom
ic and political basis for land
nnlirv nnrl tn rrmsirW the
present, past and future land '
policy.
After the plans were being
laid for the conference, Gov.
Frank Morrison appointed a
state committee to explore
the possibilities of a state
wide recognition of the Cen
tennial. The complexity multiplied
again when Beatrice set np
a committee to plan a cele
bration of the first homestead
which would run concurrently
with the Nebraska Center's
Symposium.
At .the same time a rep
resentative of the U.S. State
Department contacted the Ne
braska Center about the pos
sibility of involving 100-200
foreign representatives in the
symposium, thereby, giving
certain ? w 1 y developing
countries an opportunity to
"explore concepts of the
Homestead movement in the
United States and the pos
sibilities of applying them to
their countries."
Foreign Workshop

tion Association representa
tive, the same organization
that sponsors the University's
Turkish outpost Ataturk, also
proposed a workshop to fol-

the symposium in which
the foreign representatives
could further develop the
Homestead principle.
In addition to these develop
ments, a book may be pub
lished as a result of the
preparation By the various
program leaders of the sym
posium. It will give a com
plete historic, economic, geo
graphic projection of the
Homestead Act from the past
into the future.
Dr. Ward pointed out that
this is one of the more in
volved conferences that will
be held at the Nebraska Cen
ter this year, but it presents
an example of the education
al possibilities of the Nebras
ka Center for Continuing Ed
ucation. Dr. Ward also said that the
number of conferences sched
uled for the Nebraska Center
is really progressing. There
have been 40 conferences so
far and 150 are scheduled for
the future.
These meetings have been
attended by people from aD
walks of life doctors, swine
breeders, history teachers,
house wives, lawyers, and
bakers; and they have ranged
in size from 12 to 600.
Some have used the audi
torium, or the "Omaha",
'"Lincoln" or other rooms
commemorating the towns
who contributed over one mil-
lion dollars for the construc
tion of the educational link be
tween the University and the
people of the Midwest.
Often conferences are
planned more than a year in

Ward, and "each is treated

3 Points
The head of conferences
laid out a three point plan
which a group must follow.
First, contact with the Uni
versity and Nebraska Center
must be made,, because the
educational programs at the
Nebraska Center are all spon
sored by some department of
jthe University.
Second, an informal group
meeting will be arranged to
discuss plans for the confer
ence. Then once the group in
volved decides which prob
lems it wants to deal with,
what program' will be effec
tive, and the approximate
cost of the convention, the Ne
braska Center staff members
will swing into action, prepar
ing brochures and registration
forms, mailing announce
ments, arranging for discus
sion leaders and preparing
the Nebraska , Center to ac
commodate the group.

'Flickering Art' Reflects
American Movie Trends
, "The Comedy and Horror
Film," the second depth
analysis of the history, de
velopment and trends of the
motion picture industry, will
be televised Thursday at 6:30
p.m. over KUON-TV.,
One of the purposes is to
reflect the tastes of. the
American people through an
analysis of those types of
movies which have remained
popular, said Milton B. Molin,
co-director and co-producer.
Kl'ON decided to undertake
a series on a popular art
form developed within our
country and century motion
pictures. This carefully re
searched historical review is
original with Kl'ON and it is
the first time it has been pro
duced anywhere said John
West, co-producer and direc
tor. The series, called "The
Flickering Art," has been in
production over a year and
the assembled photographs
and words trace the evolution
of the movies from nickelo
deon days to the present. The
problem and reason for the
production taking a year
was the receiving of the in
formal and visual material
from studios and people whose
careers are highlighted by the
series.
Some of the famous person
alities consulted in the prepa
tion were film composers Dr.
Miklos (Lust for Life, Ben
Hur, King of Kings! Rozsa
and Kenyon (The Fugitive
Kind, Wih' River, The Rust
ler) Hopkins and Stan Laurel,
