Regen ts Respond to
Partially Agree With
The University released an
answer to the Glenny Report
which agrees with some of
the recomendations, disagrees
with others. Some are in effect
now while others are under
study.
The Glenny report, also
labeled the Nebraska Study
of Higher Education, was di
rected by Dr. Lyman Glenny
of Scaramento State College.
The Legislature authorized
the study in the 1959 session
and it was completed by the
1961 session.
The study was made public
In response to a request by
the University Board of Re
gents that each college and
division make a detailed
study of the Glenny report.
."We have found the Glenny
report useful and have taken
it seriously," stated Chancel
lor Hardin.
Emphasis: Grad Study
One of the recomendations
in the study was that of plac
ing greater emphasis on grad
uate stjidy, research and
service functions and less
on programs for lower-division
students.
University officials stated
that they were "in general
agreement" with the recom
mendation and had been
moving in that direction.
'Since World War II the
University has added 25 new
programs leading to the Mas
ter's Degree and 14 leading
to the Ph.D. dlgree," the of
ficials said. "Enrollment at
the post-baccalaureate levels
has increased more. than JOO
per cent in the past 10
years."
The officials added that

outside grants for research
increased from $131,446 in
1950 to nearly four million
dollars in 1960-61. In addition
the scope and emphasis of the
school's public service in
creased significantly with
the opening of the Nebraska
Center for Continuing Educa
tion. They also said that there
are no plans for expansion or
special emphasis at the lower
levels.
The answer to the sugges
tion that admission standards
should be reviewed was that
the "broad and liberal objec
tive requires a broad.and lib
eral admissions policy."

Edit Publication
The editorial staff for the
new combined campus publi
cation was announced Sunday,
with Susie Salter as editor.
The assistant editors are
Christian Potter, Jill Journey,
Carol Williams, Janie Miller
and Judith Pearce.
The applicants were inter
viewed Saturday by Ed
Hirsch of the University Pub
lic Relations department, Dr.
William Hall, head of the
School of Journalism, Mary
Weatherspoon of the Corn
husker and Don Ferguson,
editor of The Daily Nebras
kan. The new publication will
combine the "Husker Hand

"Student Activities Hand
book," "AWS Handbook" and
portions of the IFC and Pan
hellenic rush books.

"It should also be noted
that 75 per cent of the stu
dents who enroll at the Uni
versity come from the upper
scholastic half of their high
school classes. Only about six
per cent come from the low
est quarter," the University
said.
Standardized Tests
Dr. Glenny's recommenda
tion that the school use stand
ardized ability and achieve
ment tests was generally
greeted with skepticism.
The practice of a school
hiring its own graduates,
known as inbreeding, was
frowned on inthe report. Ac
cording to the study, this is
no problem, as three fourths
of the regular staff have their
degrees from institutions
other than the University.
The University agreed that
an expanded guidance and
counseling service would be
beneficial, but that it would
involve additional staff mem
bers. The school did not agree
that the University should
guide students into fields
where there is a man power
shortage.
Greeted Negatively
Also greeted negatively was
the recommendation that
five per cent of the school's
income be . spent on library
resources and , the idea that
the chancellor ' should dele
gate more authority to deans
and directors.
On the agreement side was
the suggestion that a Bureau
of Institutional Research to
promote administrative effi
ciency and educational plan
ning be established.
The bone of a rare flying reptile, two
dinosaurs and the head of a prehistoric
turtle were made available to the Uni
versity through the financial help of Wal
ter Behlen, president of the Behlen Manu
facturing Co. of Columbus, and his wife.
The fossils were shipped in from near
Ft. Hays, Kan. and the Cleveland quar
ries in Utah.
Dr. C. Bertrand Shultz, museum direc
tor, described the reptile fossil as a "rar
ity preserved in such a way that most of
the individual bones can be seen just as
they were found." It is now on display in
the University museum.
The flying reptile was found by one of
the most famous fossil hunters in the
world, George F. Sternburg, retired di
rector of the Natural History Museum at
Fort Hays Kansas State College.

"Our ability to survive in
the future will depend upon
our ability to tolerate diver
sity." So said Gov. Frank Morri
son, quoting Walter Lipp
man, in a Sunday night ad
dress to more than 100 stu
dents attending the member
ship drive kickoff banquet of
the People-to-People program.
Numerous Representatives
Students representing 80 or
ganized houses j- including
Greek letter houses, indepen
dents, residence halls and co
operative residences, and All
University Fund, Builders,
YWCA and Red Cross service
groups, heard Carlton Davis
of Jamaica explain the view
of the international student.
"The University of Nebras
ka is in a period of transi
tion now," said Davis, noting
that this period marks the
end of the picture of a small
group of foreign students
huddling together In the crib
of the Student Union as
scornful American students
stare.
"There is much bitterness
within most of the inter
national students," said Da
vis. "It cannot be wiped out
overnight.
Half a Chance ,
"But the international stu
dents want to be friends; they
will go more than 75 per cent
of the way if you will give
them half a chance."
Davis, the founder of Pro
ject Friendship, a group
which seeks to emphasize
what American and foreign
students have in common, ex
plained that the foreign stu
dent here is extremely sensi
tivenot by choice but be
cause he is often approached
by false "friends" seeking to
be rated as "outstanding."
Many American students,
noted Davis, want to become
acquainted with foreign stu
dents, but are afraid of what
others will say.
U.S. Freedom
Davis explained that most
foreign students come to
American schools for a high
er education, but primarily
because "to us, the U.S. rep
resents freedom, liberty, and
all that is democratic."
If it is possible to break
down years of grim, unfriend
ly tradition, noted Davis, "to
night marks a new era in the
life of the University, the
U.S., and the world."
Students should think of
PTP in terms of what can be
gained, said Davis, citing re
spect as a necessary base for
the program.
And, "to respect a man,
you must UNDERSTAND
him."
World Key
The key to the world, said
Chip Kuklin, chairman of
PTP, is understanding.
Statistics show that nine of
10 foreign students return to
their countries carrying bad
experiences in America, said
Kuklin.
Rick Barnes, national co
ordinator of PTP from Kan
sas City, cited statistics show
ing that 80 per cent of the
returning foreign students
will be leaders in their coun
tries. I
Because of the lack of un
derstanding, continued Kuk
lin, "we are training a group
of anti-ambassadors for
free."
"Foreign students are not
getting an education here be
yond book learning," said
Kuklin, "they don't have a
chance to get the rest of their
higher education."
What many American stu
dents fail to realize, he said,
is that they "are now laying
Sternberg, who found the reptile in a
chalk bed near Ogallala, Kan., said it is
one of the best specimens of its type he
has ever seen. The wings of the beast,
which lived 100 million years ago, spread
to a span of 17 feet when fully extended.
One of the dinosaurs is 84 feet long
while the other is 28 feet long.
Dr. Schultz explained that both the flying
reptile and dinosaur are closely related to
several living things. All birds, such as
the wild pheasant, domesticated chicken,
crocodiles and alligators are close in the
family tree to the prehistoric reptiles. '
Schultz explained that the addition cjf'
these fossils to the museum was par
ticularly valuable and appreciated be
cause of the rarity of dinosaur material,
in Nebraska.
the bricks for the civilization
that will follow. Through the
international students, we
could learn about the world
without spending a penny, or
traveling a mile."
Generation
The student generation
faces something that must be
done, said Kuklin "we
must gain understanding, or
destroy ourselves."
National coordinator
Barnes, explaining the con
cept of PTP, said that the
sharing o cultures and ex
periences of citizens of dif
ferent countries, affords the
best opportunity for under
standing that will lead to
world peace tomorrow.
PTP so far has operated
in the area of "internationaal
ism", said Barnes. It at
tempts to coordinate and
unite the many diverse ac
tivities to aid foreign s t u
dents on a national basis.
On March 3, noted Barnes,-
there will be a state PTP
conference in the Caitol at
which University students
will help other Nebraska
schools to set up the p r o
gram. At the same time,
similar conferences will be
underway in all other states,
he added.

Morrison in his address.
He pointed out that the,
greatest potentiality to bring
human understanding to the
world exists on college cam
puses today specifically in
the 70,000 international stu
dents on the campuses.
Understanding and friend
ship must be founded on a
basic interchange, not super
ficial socializing, said the
governor.
"Are we to lose our heads,
to act arrogantly, to domi
nate others? Or use that,
power of nature given to
America to lead, instruct, and
build a mutual respect for
cultures?" concluded the gov
ernor. "This program will require
application, and a consider
able amount of courage,"
noted Mayor of Lincoln
"Pat" Boyles. He said that
the success of the program
depends on the realization
of the importance of personal
dealings "This is a person
to person, hour by hour, in
dividual to individual thing.
The success of the program
depends on what can be
achieved."

Membership goal is 500. As

The key to not only the in
ternational relationships of
People-to-People, but to all
friendship on campus is in
accepting and being sensitive
to others as individuals, said
Jan Jeffery, People-to-People
brother-sister chairman.
We tend to be friends of
people that we think are the
"right" people, but we seem
to be afraid to be friends of
those students with different
backgrounds, international or
otherwise, whose friendship
could be just as rewarding,
she said.
