Morrison. "But for People To People to succeed," he said, "t h e American student must have a sincere desire to b e e o m e better acquainted with our in ternational brother and his culture. And only through a sincere exchange of mend- ship and ideas wi.11 the inter national student become bet ter acquainted with our Amer ican culture." When we think that 70,000 international students study in the United States each year, People To People can well be called the greatest educational challenge of our decade, said Bill Dawson, Kansas Univer sity student and founder of university People To People. What would be the impact of a sincere and spontaneous effort by American and inter national students to get to know each other better as true friends, both in class and out? Success Clue Perhaps the picnic which was held at KU for new comers from abroad this fall might give a clue to the suc ces and rewards of People To People. Jointly sponsored by a K.U. fraternity and sorority, the picnic relaxed in genuine friendliness and informality and led to spontaneous enter tainment. Victor-Jorge Her rcra Lagunza of Spain picked up his harmonica. Other stu dents started strumming gui tars. A bongo player joined in to beat out the rhythm. Suddenly the music of bag pipes was heard and Margret Cameron of Scotland joined in the fun. by doing a High land fling. Never before had the two groups of students come closer together in un derstanding and e n j o y i n g each other , Rick Barnes, co-founder of People To People, told of an Indian student that walked front one side of Lawrence to the other some 50 blocks in sub-zero temperatures to deliver a wedding anniversary congratulation that he h a d forgotten to mail to Barnes and his wife. ' One Question - Still one questions the need for change. How completely is the international student accepted on campus and in the city today? We want to know about the American cul ture and way of life as much as we want to know about American technology, said one African student. 'The social life in Lincoln for the students with whom I associate is rather dull. Many of the international students have never danced In their life. Also, music and dancing are things that a per son can easily carry home with him. In thia way, inter national students will be an effective means of integration of world cultures," he said, "The common people of Ne braska are very nice, though IFC Interviews Set- I n t erf raternity Council (IFC) will bold interviews for chairmanships of the af fairs, judicial and public re lations committees Sunday. oed, ts 7Dr A ( VLao Peace The Daily Nebraskan with some lack of informa tion about other countries. "The problem is with Uni versity students, especially those in sororities and fra ternities, without knowledge of other nations. Because they are afraid of a different cul ture, they try not to have for eign students as friends," said one . international s t u dent. Rules Forbid "Sometimes this is not the fault of the students, but of regulations of the fraternities or sororities that prohibit them from having as a friend an international student, he added. About dinner Invitations "If a student introduces 'me' to his family, friends or neigh bors, I feel that this ac quaintance is normal. But if a person calls me and invites me for dinner and when I ask him how he got my name, he an- ... IAU PEOPLE yur name to was assigned PEOPLE by the min ster of our church" or "I just got it from the list of foreign students," I don't consider this normal and may not ac cept the invitation." A student of Peru said, I avoid going to meetings of or ganizations because interna tional students are treated like children. We have to sup port a lot of "baby talk" like, "What is your name?" or What is your major?" 'or What made you come to Ne braska?" or "How many hours are you taking?" lne response Is always "How Wonderful!" With this lack of real conversation and exchange of ideas and knowl edge, the international stu dent grows bored, he added. Current Events "I wishjwople would talk a little bit about current events, or better, about the country of the student con cerned. This gives the inter national student the feeling that this particular American has some background of the outside world besides the U.S.A.," he added. Many Nebraskans have spoken out for international friendships and sincerity. One, Joyce C. Hall, presi dent of Hallmark Cards and chairman of National People To People, said: "The People To People pro gram was originated by Pres ident Eisenhower in 1956. It has resulted in millions of grass roots' friendship. When you look into the hearts and minds of men of any race, color or belief, you see that they have more in com mon than they have in dif ference." Student Council president Steve Gage 'said in a recent Nebraska Alumnus guest ed itorial: "Although Nebraskans boast loudly about their friendliness, most of the foreign students at the University are isolated. "In daily activity on cam pus, very few of them are integrated into the organiza tions and social functions. They are forced to rely on each other for social activity. "In Isolating themselves from the international ele vcierf, the American students erect false barriers, foster misunderstanding and create negative attitudes. Tha for Outstanding Man .. . Governor Morrison Says eign students are not even al lowed to see us as we are, as Nebraskans and as Amer icans." It is not hard for the inter national student to "get ac quainted with" American stu dents," said Dr. H. Lloyd Weaver, dedicated foreign student advisor. "Mere acquaintance must be only the beginning," he said. "Genuine friendship and understanding must develop, however, if the American and international student are to really know each other." Idea Becomes Reality; Hall to Dedicate Chapel By ANDA ANDERSON Sixteen years ago an idea was born in the mind of Dr. William E. Hall, director of the School of Journalism, who was then alumni direc tor of the University of New Mexico. The idea was to build a small international chapel to X ? -7 Dr. Hall commemorate the school's war dead. Today the chapel is com pleted, and Dr. Hall will be heading for New Mexico Feb. 24 and 25, to dedicate his baby. ,. , "It took a long time to rise the $100,000 needed for con struction," he said, "but we felt the money should be giv en on a voluntary .basis. No one was high pressured," he explained. Over 10,000 individual con tributions were made. The average gift was $7.43. Half of the donors gave more than once. 1 The chapel, which is built in early Spanish mission style of architecture, has been in use since this fall, but the formal dedication will be Feb. 24 and 25. The dedication will be part of the events on cam pus of the school's 73rd birth day observance. Albuquerque was where he began his journalism career as well. At the age of 16 he began working for the Albu' querque Tribune. By the time he was 18 he was sports edi tor of the paper. It has been said that he was the young est sports editor in history.

In 1943, he was sent to the University of Nebraska for German area and lang uage study. From here h went over seas. He was with the 44th Infantry Division, the first division to land in France. He was wounded on the front lines in Sept. of 1944, and was later assigned to counter intelligence. He was stationed in Heidelberg and Frankfurt before returning to the states Dec. 1945. He went back to Albuquer que and worked as sports editor, city hall reporter and political writer, and later as summed his position as alum ni director of the University. Then in 1950, he received his masters degree from Co lumbia, and returned to New Mexico where he taught journalism and was assistant to the president of the Uni versity. He received his Ph.D. from the State Univer sity of Iowa in 1954, and went to Texas Tech at Lubbuck, where he was director of pub lic relations and chairman of the department of journalism. Dr. Hall came to the Uni versity of Nebraska in 1956. 'Alumnus9 Has Lone By WENDY ROGERS Brown-haired vivacious Harriet Coble is the one-man editor and staff of the "Nebraska Alumnus". A combination of writer, file keeper, and editor, Mrs. " Coble finds that ideas for the 32-page magazine are no problem "it's selecting the best ones that's hard," she noted. Best Ideas The "best" ideas are chosen from the standpoint of reader interest and importance both to the University and individual alumni," she pointed out. , A 1956 graduate of the University, Mrs. Coble has been editor of the "Alumnus" since October,' 1961. 'As editor," she said, "I try to put out a publication that reflects the University and its alumni, but also keep ing in mind that these articles must be interesting and presented in the type of writing and format that will appeal to the college educated reader." Quality Essential Rewriting is essential to Mrs. Coble's work "we try for quality. Readers expect the magazine to look like much time has been spent in its production. Copy from outside contributors (ranging from one to four each month) is due in her office in the Nebraska Union on the 20th of each month. The printer receives copy and pictures at 8 a.m. of the 21st. Class notes, which usually take two and a half work ing days to type, have a 22nd deadline. A layout plan of the magazine must be completed by the 20th, galley proofs of the copy return from the printer on the 24th day, and Mrs. Coble partes-up the final layout for printing f the "Alumnus." Finalists Await Praises For Their High By BOB BESOM The Nebraska Agriculture campus has been congratu lated for having the highest percentage of seniors and graduates interested in the Peace Corps of any college or university in the natjon, according to a letter received by Dean of Agriculture Elvin F. Froiik. from Jim Gibson, assistant director, Office of Public Affairs, Washington, D.C. Of the 180 seniors and grad uate students contacted through the Peace Corps in terest survey last December, 60 or one third indicated they would like to have more in formation about the .P e a c e Corps. Of this group, one indi cated he h a d already ap plied for service as a Peace Corps volunteer, and four stated they would complete a volunteer questionaire in the near future. "Frankly," states Dean Fro iik, "we did not expect so many students to express an interest in serving in the Corps. It seems to me this indicates that most of o u r students have a sincere inter est in foreign affairs and many of them v-ould like to make some typ of personal contribution in helping to im prove the foreign relations of the United States."

Paid advertising helps pay part of the costs. The "Nebraska Alumnus" is sent to every University graduate free for one year. Otherwise, the magazine is included in part of the cost of membership in the Alumni Association. . It goes to 9,000 Assn. members, and to all campus living units each month. The magazine is split into three main feature sec tions one alumni, one about or by a faculty member concerning academic life, and one on activity of general interest to alumni and present students. University Prints There are five to seven pages of class notes in each issue, the equal of approximately 50 to 75 typed pages. The "Alumnus" is printed at the University prints shop September through June. Approximately 90 per cent of the pictures' in the magazine are taken by personnel at the photo lab. A number of columnists, including Student Council President Steve Gage, write regularly for the magazine.

"Mr. Shriver's (Head of the Peace Corps in Washington) favorite expression, as far as our recruitment activities are concerned, is that you can't sell automobiles out of De troit.
