Lecture Series '62
Ideas Important
Says Patterson
"A new idea is the most revolutionary thing in life,"
said Dr. Charles Patterson, philosophy department chair
man, in a series of remarks delivered Tuesday night in
iSelleck Quadrangle. .
Dr. Patterson, the first speaker in the Residence
Association for Men's (RAM) "Coeducational Lecture Ser
ies '62," stated that life was like putting together a jigsaw
puzzle. You begin with a "world view" and you receive
a new idea another "piece" which you try to work into
the border. Failing this, you have to scrap the entire
system and build around the new fact.
You may live for years without finding such an idea.
Eut when you do, you realize that "The older you get,
the longer you've been wrong."
Dr. Patterson mentioned the split between philosophy
and the "natural sciences," which in Aristotle's time were
combined. Today none of these natural sciences covers
topics central to philosophy,' sualh as the good life and the
other important problems used as themes by the world's
great authors.
- The lecture titled "Philosophy and a Cultural Educa
tion," was the first in a series sponsored by the RAM
Scholastic Council. Keith Phillips, scholastic chairman,
has scheduled the second lecture for Thursday, April 12.
The speaker will be Professor Altoin Anderson, an authority
on Russian history and politics.
Love's Dual Assignment
Rates 'Opinion-Leading'
According to The Library
Quarterly, January 1962, Love
Memorial Library is one of
the "opinion-leading or
avant-garde elements among
university libraries" in t h i s
country. Two others, Har
vard and Princeton, hold the
same position.
Love's "dual assignment"
technique prompted this rat
ing. The University of Colo
rado, then the University, pio
neered with this divisional
plan.
This system provides sub
ject division rooms filled
with books, periodicals and
reference materials relating
to one particular division of
study. Formerly, as described
by Frank Lundy, director of
libraries, in a speech at Kent
University, books were placed
in one reading room and
periodicals in another. The
content of the traditional ref
erence room or main reading
room consisted of the major
encyclopedias in several
languages, the dictionaries,
the world almanac and other
such handbooks, the indices
and the principal bibli
ographies. In the center of the room
was the reference desk, where
"the best" 'of all these ref
erence books had been
brought together within arm's
length. And there sat the ref
erence librarian, the modern
Lord Bacon, with all the
world's knowledge under con
trol! However, the world's
knowledge had grown too vast
for such an obvious and sim
ple effort at control. The stu
dents were confused, too.
A few facts out of the en
cyclopedia no longer sufficed
for M.eir Urm papers. .They
needed books, quantities of
them, and periodicals, too,
wtthin reach! And they did
not want to be routed ground
the building from one neat
and tidy room to another in
seaiivfi of Mem.
This new organization has
Symphony Concert
1 Tours Scheduled
The 60-piece Nebraska Sym
phony Orchestra began a
four-concert tour today at
Grand Island.
Under the direction of Prof.
Emanuel Wishnow, the Or
chestra has a performance
scheduled for Scottsbluff Jun
ior High today and North
Platte High and McCook High
tomorrow.
After the tour, the group
will present its annual Spring
concert in Lincoln Sunday.
The Spring concert will be
held at 4 p.m. in the Student
Union Ballroom.
also created a change in the
acquisition department. It is
no longer the sole or prin
cipal agency for book selec
tion within the library.
The essential elements of
the new technique consist of
the organization of all ma
terials by subject without
much deference to considera
tions of format or imprint
and the encouragement of un
restricted direct access to li
brary materials, according to
Lundy's speech.
The Dual-Assignments de
scribed by Lundy, consists of
two departments: acquisition
and catalog. The acquisition
department is responsible for
purchases, gifts and exchan
ges, selection in the fields of
general bibliography and in
complete sets, centralized se
rial records and bindery pre
parations. The catalog depart
ment catalogs and classifies
printed materials in all their
forms and processes ma
terials. The essential contribution of
the divisional plan, said Lun
dy in his speech, is the or
ganization of all materials
and services by subject
matter subject matter
brought together under broad
concepts of humanities, social
studies and science. Grouping
books and periodicals by
broad subjects, and putting
with them related encyclo
pedias, dictionaries, bibliog
raphies, pamphlets, and other
types of materials all serve
the convenience of the stu
dent with a logic he can easily
understand.
Librarians in each division
are selected for their knowl
edge of that particular field
as . well as their librarian
knowhow. Books are selected
by these librarians which il-
Jiminates duplication and pro
vides the greatest amount of
educated selection possible.
Within the three main di
visions of humanities, social
studies and science are sub
divisions in the form of li
braries on the Ag. and Medi
cal school campuses as well
as other buildings on city
campus.
Regents Expected
To Award Contract
The Board of Regents has
tentatively set its next meet
ing at 7:30 a.m. Friday, when
it expects to award the con
tract for the $4.5 million Twin
Towers Dormitory project.
Chancellor Hardin said the
meeting will depend upon
whether acceptable bids are
received. Bids are being
opened by the ' purchasing
department today at 2 p.m.

mit to submit question of
NSA affiliation to the student
body regardless of an affirm
ative or negative vote by the
Council was defeated.
In speaking for the amend
ment, member Dave Scholz
said that "we (the Council)
are treating NSA affiliation
in the negative by saying to
the student body that we will
not give you- a voice In af
filiation if the Council defeats
the motion." I

"If students desire to vote
on the NSA question if the
Council defeats it they can
pass around a petition to that
effect," said member Susie
Moffitt.
Speaking against the
amendment, member John
Nolon asked, "Do we want to
divorce ourselves from this
issue by handing it over to
the student body for vote
whether we pass the resolu
tion favorably or not?"
"We should decide the
question of a student body

Professor
Comments
On Riesel
Prof. Richard Bourne of
the economics department
"basically agrees" with the
challenge to the public and
to labor leaders issued by
labor columnist Victor Ries
el. "Certainly a number of
work stoppages have oc
curred," said Bourne, "many
over jurisdictional questions."
The economics professor
noted that Riesel did not con
demn labor leaders, but point
ed up the "growing power of
labor which would enable ir
responsible leaders to tie up
industry or our economy."
Bourne pointed out that the
AFL-CIO has expelled sever
al unions because it consid
ered them Communist-dominated.
Other national unions
have also expelled locals for
the same reason.
Concerning labor power in
areas vital to the national as
a whole, Bourne noted that
the Secretary of Labor has
obtained agreements with
unions involved in missile
projects to curtail strikes in
settlement of problems aris
ing at missile sites.
He also pointed out that
the Federal Mediation and
Conciliation Service has been
given special instructions to
"keep close touch" with mis
sile sites, and try to get dis
putes settled without strikes.
Student Teachers
Applications for student
teaching for first semester
or summer sessions are due
April 1. Secondary educa
tion students can pick up
the required forms in 103
Teachers Colege, and ele
mentary education students
can pick up their forms in
202 Teachers.

been grabbed by the throat,

draw some conclusions, too.

he's slopped my precious liq

In all my campus travels,
I've concluded something
Ned would be lots better off
with some sleep and some
tion with the Division of Stu
dent Affairs.
The organizations involved
are Alpha Phi Omega, the
American Institute of Elec
trical Engineers, the Campus
Health Council, the Interso
rority Music Council, the Mil
itary Ball committee, Mu Phi
Epsilon, and Ag YMCA.
It was noted by Council
member Scholz that unless
these organizations act to
remedy the situation within
twenty days, the Council will
be forced into further ac
tion." The faculty advisors of each
organization will be sent no
tices concerning today's ac
tion. Council member Jim Sam
ples reported that the com
mencement committee will
"recommend to the Chancel
lor that this spring's com
mencement be held in the
Coliseum."
Commenting upon the prob
lems which will be faced in
the future, Samples speculat
ed that due to the eventual
incapacity of either the Coli
seum or Pershing to accom
modate the entire graduating
class, it may become neces
sary to start split Commencements.
Depth Writing Obtains
$5,000 Confidence Vote
A $5,000 renewal of the
depth reporting grant to the
University's Journa
lism School has been an
nounced by the Newspaper
Fund of the Wall Street Jour
nal. Paul Swan son, executive
director of the Fund, cited
the J-School's Depth Report
No. 1 on Nebraska's Unicam
eral as one of the important
developments of the program
in its first year.
The report, which was writ
ten by students, wa s pub
lished in newspaper format.
It has been in demand over
the entire country. The re
port is being reprinted to
meet the demand.
Other student stories pub
lished in many Nebraska and
Midwestern newspapers, were
also noted by the Fund exe
cutives. These stories have
ranged in subject matter
from sports to taxation. Some
of these, according to Dr.
William E. Hall, director of
J-School, have had more than
two million circulation.
"Several stories," he add
ed, "have received national
honors in contests for student
journalists. For example,
Hal Brown, a senior, is cur
rently leading the nation in
the contest sponsored by the
William Randolph Hearst
Foundation."

study planning. Besides, I'd
feel better.
Just remembering "Intense
Ivan" makes me shudder
from the minute he grabbed
me in his hot fist, I knew it
would be a struggle to
breathe he was concen
trating on some lofty thought
(girls maybe?) he forgot
it wasn't a sponge he was
squeezing maybe some peo
ple could be a little more
observing?
I'll never forget that
charming sweet little so-and-so
"Lady Linda" she was
trying so hard to impress her
date with her "ladylike"
If such a procedure is ne
cessitated, both places would
be used the Coliseum for the
morning graduation, and
Pershing, because of its air
conditioning facilities, for
the afternoon commencement,
Samples said.
Such action is cot foreseen
for several years.
In other business, a motion
by Miss Moffitt to require the
NSA study committee to pre
sent a progress report at next
weeks meeting was defeated.
Speaking against the mo
tion, John Abrahamzon, NSA
study committee co-chairman,
said, "A progress re
port next week would bring
up issues prematurely."
"As .yet, we have not dis
cussed the desirability of NSA
affiliation in committee," he
said.
Steve Tempero and Herbie'
Nore were appointed co
chairman of the new repre
sentation committee by Pres
ident Steve Gage.
Other members of the com
mittee who will study the
question of Council represen
tation include- Gene Baillie,
John Bischoff, Hal Horner,
Grant Meiner, Dave Redman,
Don Burt and Judy Polenz.
Dr. Hall added that the
J-School considers the renew
al a vote of confidence in a
program that may be a pi
oneering effort for undergrad
uate journalism.
"We have a long way to go,
since the emphasis on this
program must be on quali
ty," said Copple. "You 'do
not build a quality program
quickly. The renewal gives
us the money to continue to
develop in our excellent
situation right here in Ne
braska, a national quality re
porting program."
He said the stories the stu
dents are working on for the
second depth report are both
newsworthy and significant in
the Midwest.
"But most important," he
added, "the students are
learning the meaning of qual
ity and how important the
excellence of the background
courses they take in other
departments of the University
is to this type of reporting.
"Initially," Copple contin
ued, "the moral as well as
the monetary support from
the Newspaper Fund execu
tives greatly helped the pro
gram. "Now, the cooperation of
Nebraska's press as well as
many other newspapers over
the country has given more
solid, professional impetus to
the work," concluded Copple.
