Physics, English Funds
Sought by University
By KAREN GUNLICKS
Two federal grants may be
awarded the University with
in the next month. A grant
of $600,000 from the National
Science Foundation would
help finance a $1.25 million
new pftysics building. An
English grant by the U.S . Ed
ucation Office of at least
$250,000 would designate the
University as one of three
English curriculum centers.
A gift of $400,000 made to
the University last year by
the Behlen family of Colum
bus and a tax outlay of $250,
000 would be added to the
grant for the new physics
building.
Competition High
Robert Chasson, Physics
department chairman, said he
is "optimistic" that the NSF
grant will be awarded to the
University, but cautioned that
competition for it is high. Es
sentially, the application to
the science foundation was
for matching money, Dr.
Chassson said.
If constructed, the new
buliding will be next to 58-year-old
Brace Laboratory
on R St. It will be fiye
stories consisting of 35,000
square feet. There will be
an. exterior below-ground
lab where atomic experi
ments might be conducted.
The building will provide
space for new equipment, re
search in extra-terrestrial
physics, experiments in nu
clear physics, an expanded
solid state program and a
"decent" library. It will also
relieve dangerous, over
crowded conditions, com
mented Dr. Chasson. It will
be the first major improve
ment for the Physics depart
ment since 1904.
Groundbreaking
If NSF comes through with
in 30 days, cash should be
available before the end of
the current federal fiscal
WHAT YOU
SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
yum
Eight years ago, scientists be
gan1 to investigate the effects
of world-wide fallout from nu
clear tests. "The results " says
physicist Edward Teller, "were
reassuring." In this week's Sat
urday Evening Post he tells how
much radiation the body can
absorb. And why we should stop
worrying about fallout

year, June 30. If conditions
are favorable, the ground
breaking will be late next fall
and the building will be com
pleted in the early spring of
1964, concluded Dr. Chasson.
The English grant would
help support, along with lo
cal funds, research in new
methods of teaching English,
stated Dr. Paul Olson, asso
ciate professor of English.
The new curriculum, if
granted, would revise old
teaching methods and initi
ate new ones in the areas
of grammar, literature and
composition.
Grammar instruction would
be systematic and avoid dup
lication, studies in literature
would teach children to be
corre masters of the lan
guage at an early age and
composition would evolve
more on writing and thinking
logically than on self expression.
Original Grant
The original grant would be
for a minimum of five years.
Some 40 Americans schools
were expected to bid for one
of the thfee centers..
Even without the grant,
University English instruc
tors will be working on a con
tinuous program to coordin
ate the best teaching materi
als, to commission the best
scholars to prepare new
methods, to install these
methods in the classrooms
and observe the effects and
to lead the student systemat
ically from the beginning of
his schooling to the end with
out repetition or more un
unsound linguistic -superstitions,
Olson said.
Coeds Awarded
Washington Trip
Two University coeds have
attained the ultimate in 4-H
work they will be among the
4 youths "representing the
state's 34,000 4-H members at
the Nationl 4-H Club Confer
ence in Washington, D.C..
April 21-27.
Joan McGuire and Joan
Skinner won the trips, which
are awarded annually by the
Omaha World-Herald on the
basis of individual 4-H rec
ords, W. M. Antes, state 4-H
club leader at the University,
announced.
Both girls are freshmen arid
are majoring in home eco
nomics. Both also have been
active in 4-H work nine years
and were valedictorians of
their senior class.

Saturday
, All University students in
terested in writing; for the
Daily Nebraskan are invited
to attend the coffee at 10 aim
Saturday in the Daily Nebras
kan office in the Student Un

This is an opportunity for
all students to display their
writing abilities and to meet
their fellow students in a
more than enjoyable activity.
The only "qualifications
for a worker's position are a
strong back, an inquiring
mind, and the ability to pound
a typewriter at 200 words per

fuse responsibility for the
actions of such a group is
to abandon the possibility
of constructive activities,
implying that the actions
will be politically unac
ceptable. To refuse to ex
pend .the "token amount
of money" necessary for
membership in the CCUN
because of the "signifi
cant sum" required for
its projects is to overlook
the Council's own plans
to establish it as a finan-1
cially independent organ
ization when it was suf
ficiently strong.
The Student Council has
betrayed what Mr. Buck
ley announced to be the
Council's purpose at the
first public CCUN meet
ing: to assume leader
ship and foster growth
until the organization
could be self-sustaining.
The student government
has failed to grasp an op
portunity for definite' ac
tion to lift Nebraska stu
dents above our own lo
cal interests.
Plans Begin;
Ag Library
o
Site Chosen
A new $1 million Ag College
Library will be located south
of the Biochemistry and Nu
trition Building according to
Carl Donaldson, University
business marfager.
Donaldson said that while
the planning for the structure
is still in the preliminary
stages, the plans should be
far enough along for first sub
mission to the" Board of Re
gents within the next six
weeks.
The new library will be
northeast of the present Dairy
Industry Building and will
take nearly all of Ag College's
building levy for a two year
period.
The University has Deen
banking portions of the Ag
College building levy for sev
eral years against this construction.
Architects for the library
will be Clark and Enersen of
Lincoln.
Red Cross Posts
Red Cross Interviews win
be held Saturday morning
in 332 Student Union and
Sunday afternoon In 345

If computers process data in mathematical terms, how
can they be instructed to handle information and ap
plications that are not essentially arithmetic? IBM, in
cooperation with the U.S. Air Force, is finding some
answers through research in automatic language
translation systems.
Machine translation of id ioms.forexample.isteaching
us a great deal about information processing. An idio
matic phrase may have a meaning quite different from
the sum of its individual words, and a system that mere
ly matches these words won't come close to translating
it. One solution is an "expanded electronic dictionary"
that contains idioms and grammatical instructions as
well as single words. Work is now under way to clarify
meaning further by automatic syntactical analysis.
Systems research such as tnis requires its own kind
of translation the translation of an idea into a working
system. For people with this ability, who like to travel
beyond the boundaries of their specialized areas, IBM
offers unusual opportunity. If you're interested in
any of the fields in which IBM is making important
. advances -semiconductors, microwaves, magnetics,
superconductivity and your major is in engineering
or one of the sciences, you are invited to talk with the
IBM representative. He will be interviewing on your
campus this year. Your placement office can make an
appointment. All qualified applicants will receive con
sideration for employment without regard to race,
creed, color or national origin. Write, outlining your
background and interests, to: Mgr. of Technical Em
ployment, Dept. E98, IBM Corporation, 590 Madison
Avenue, New York 22, N. Y.
