The dimensions of man's
personality cannot be meas-,
ured by a yard stick. J
A program of study and
research on cultivatioa of
man's personality is-' the
aim of the Nebraska Hu
man Resources Research
Foundation, in operation at
the University of Nebraska
for 10 years.
Dr. William E. Hall and
Dr. Donald 0. Clifton, both
of Teachers College,
founded NHRRF, or Lincoln
Project, and are its current
directors.
During its existence both
praise and criticism have
been leveled at the Foun
dation, often because of a
lack of understanding of
bow Project operates in
accomplishing its goals.
In a recent joint discus
sion, the two directors ex
plained the function of the
Foundation and some of its
inherent problems.
Cultivation
"Personality cultivation,"
said Dr. Hall, "is based on
these concepts that a
concentrated study must be
made to gain a clear pic
ture of the nature and po
tentiality of human person
ality, and that the most
significant way to develop
people is by the improve
ment of human relations."
"In discovering a per
son's potentiality," ex
plained Dr. Clifton, "you
first define the potentiality
you're looking for. Then
you apply the techniques of
discovery gained from ex
perimentation, and adapt
them to the individual.
"Once yon discover that
a person has a certain po
tentiality, it is possible to
set situations so a person
may develop it."
Ideas spark the Founda

praise the work of the Foun-'
dation.
Analysis
Gardner Murphy, director
of research for tLi M e n
ninger Foundation in To
peka, Kan., wrote in his
analysis of the. Foundation,
that "it has been a privilege
to observe the magnificent
spirit and the effective work
pursued . .. . this work pre
sents unique and profoundly
challenging aspects . along j
three lines: j
It strives to discover i
what is sound and construc
tive in every human rela
tion; instead of seeking to
find a weakness or describe
a pathology, it tries to build
what is strong into some-,
thing still stronger; 1.
Each constructive stop
leads to another . . . each
person who is helped begins
to understand how he may
help another person.
This person) is himself
directly benefited through
the rising group morale
which he helps establish. I
felt . . . that a way has
been found to give others
a new faith in the future,
and trust in human beings
. . . group life is being
vitalized, and the leaders
are evincing a pride in
(it."
Murphy pointed out that a
during which Dick served as
president of Sigma Delta Chi,
vice president of Delta Sigma
Rho, and president of Sigma
Alpha Eta journalism, de
bate, and speech therapy or
ganizations respectively. He
was editor of tie Daily Ne
braska! and a member of
the varsity debate team for
three years. His scholastic
standing merited election to
Phi Beta Kappa.
In law school Dick has re
cently completed a definitive
study on bearing loss under
Workmen's Compensa -tion
which will receive Law'
Review publication. The ar
ticle is of national legal sig
nificance. In addition, he his
assisted in preparation of a
book-on the presidential dis
ability problem which is now
ready for publication. The
latter 'work exemplifies his
deep interest and knowledge!

Baqai Questions
Expressed About
By Nancy Wbitford
India someiimes claims that property
is. hers simply because the Indian con
stitution says it is, according to a junior
in electrical engineering, Ahsan Baqai of
Pakistan.
Baqai criticized statements made by In
dian students last week ia the Daily Ne
braskan. The Indian students asserted
that the Indian invasion of Goa was justi
field because Goa was originally a part
of India. Tbey said that Nehru's action
would cause China and Pakistan to adopt
a more realistic approach to their deal
ings with India.
What is the nature of the Pakistan dis
pute with India? How did it arise? And
why has it remained unsolved?
In 1947 when India and Pakaistan came
into independent existence, it was lz :ve&
that all states having a mairr' - ' -of
Moslems would accede to Pakistan, and
the other states having a majority implica
tion of Hindus would accede to India,
Baqai explained.
Baqai told of two states where this was
not observed by India..

that was about Si per cent Moslem, was

located in boys' dormitories
in schools in Kansas and
Missouri. Results of t h e
year-long carefully c 0 n
trolled experiment indicated
er or not the universities
should provide housing and
eating facilities for ALL their
students.
Also, many questions have
arisen if a university should
provide " transportation and
counseling facilites, sponsor
and regulate student activities
and organizations and regu
late student housing, conduct
and dress, Warren said. 1
Reaction
"I am disturbed that I got
as little reaction as I did
when I questioned students
about the University and ad
ministration exercising too
much control over them both
in class and out," said War
ren. "Those interviewed agreed
that students need supervi
sion from someone who
knows what is right and ap
propriate," be said; "and
most of those interviewed be
lieved that the University ad
ministration was the best
judge of what was right and,
appropriate." j
One student went as far as
saying that "any University
regulation Is proper because
it is University policy," War
ren said.
Yet this same student
could not decide whether Uni
versity policy is absolute or
not, he added.
Leaders
"Most of those students in
terviewed were student lead
ers whose names had been
suggested to me by Al Ben
nett, manager of "the Union,
and Deans Helen Snyder and
Frank Hallgren, as students
particularly perceptive to con
ditions in campus life," War
ren said.
"Perhaps the relations and
work of these leaders with
the administration account in
part for their satisfied atti
tude towards the University,"
Warren suggested.
"With few exceptions, stu
dents said tbey were getting
here what they came for,"
be added. "Yet I question
whether students beyeve all
is 'pretty rosy' because it
really is or because students
do not see the real situation."
One student suggested that
the reason students are so
satisfied is that tbey believe
that their objections to Uni
versity decisions and rules
will not be recognized, even
vhen legitimate reasons are
given for the dissatisfaction, i
Larger ran
"If the administration let
students play a larger part
in making rules and de
cisions, as it is doing with the
Student Tribunal, then stu
dents have a legitimate rea
son for being concerned with
and criticizing unfair or too
strict or loose regulations,
the student added.

Although a Security Council cease-fire
line was ordered in Kashmir, it Is aa un
easy truce today as Indian and Pakistani
troops stand facing each other along this
line, Baqai said.
Baqai also cited a UN resolution to have
a plebiscite in Kashmir which was reject
ed by Nehru. He said that a number of
proposals for the reduction of Indian and
Pakistani forces stationed in Kashmir
were accepted by Pakistan and rejected
by India. , ,..'
"India has further said that Kashmir
is Indian territory because the Indian
constitution says so, and 1 leave it to yon
to decide the validity of this native con

tivities, where the control and
responsibility of the adminis
tration has never been clearly
defined, students were ques
tioned as to what action th
administration should take if
a student organization set up
authoritarian procedures and
controls over its membership
after the University gave it
free reign over its own af
fairs. "Most of (he stodents an
swered this question by say
ing that this certainly Is a
problem that should be stud
ied," Warren said.
A few believed that the or
ganization should be allowed
to suffer from any conse
quences . which their free
reign over financial and pro
cedural matters brought
about, as bankruptcy, he
said.
Strict Control
"Yet, questioned about the
other extreme of too strict
University control over ac
tivities, not a single student
was concerned with an excess
of regulation," Warren said,
"apparently because each
was sure the University
would act in his best inter
ests." Another question which
brought a mixed and con
fused reaction was that which
questioned the amount of con
trol that the University
should have over students liv
ing in their private or rented
housing.
"Dean Adam C. Breckea
ridge and Chancellor Clifford
M. Hardin are especially in
terested ia the results of the
survey," said Warren, "espe
cially with the retirement of
Dean Colbert scheduled for
(his Jose."
On the question of student
apathy, Warren said that he
did not believe students
across the United States
could be called apathetic if
they were only given an issue
relevant to them.
Mickey Mouse'
"If students in general be
lieve activities on campus to
be 'Mickey Mouse. " be said,
"they will naturally not be
concerned and interested in
them."
"In a survey taken of col
lege students in the U.S.,
Europe, North Africa and the
ScandanavLaa countries, Am
erican students were found
to be self-centered and great
ly concerned with self ana
immediate family while stu
dents of other nations were
found to be greatly concerned
with their community and na
tion as well as their family
and themselves," Warren said.
One theory explain this
lack of concern for the com
munity and nation is caused
by the great wealth of our
society, which has freed ft of
so much poverty, disease,
burger and social inequality
that . we need not be con
cerned with these problems.
Warren added.
He indicated neither agree
ment or disagreement with
this theory.
