ROTC Physicals
Measure Fitness
By TOM KOTOUC
Editors Note: This is the
second in a series of re
ports dealing with physical
fitness of students. Today's
story illustrates the lack of
fitness.
Of 111 Air Force ROTC
physicals which have been
passed on for the advanced
program, 24 or 17.77 per cent
of the applying men have
failed.
Army ROTC records show
that of the 67 sophomore stu
dents who have taken the
tests for advanced ROTC,
seven have failed.
But how indicitive are these
results of the general level of
nhvsical fitness on campus?
"Only five of these 24
AFROTC applicants failed for
h( same reason over
weight," said Capt. Norman
Leas, Air Force instructor.
Others Failed
Others failed for back in
juries, allergies and eye de
fects. But 32 of the 111 who
took the physical have qual
ified for pilot training which
means they are basically as
physically fit as the U.S. as
tronauts Glenn and Sfcepard,
Leas said.
Dr. Fred V. Hcin, Ph. D.
of the American Medical As
sociation, said that the
American youth ' is not as
physically fit as he could be.
And he adds, "25 per cent of
the American population is
overweight with the problem
beginning in early life."
What Exercise?
But what type of exercise
is desirable: weightlifting to
swimming or what?
Dr. Hein recommends "ac
tive games, sports, swim
ming and rhythmic activities.
He prescribes exercises and
vigorous bobbies such as gar
dening and other work around
the home."
Activities for girls and
women should be selected
with regard for their psycho
logical as well as physiolog
ical characteristics, Dr. Hein
adds.
"Those which have a mini
mum of body contact and do
not stress heavy lifting
should be favored' he con
cluded. In determining how much
exercise an individual should
have, Dr. Carlos Wear sug
gested the equivalent of a
one-mile vigorous walk each
day.
"When Dean Charles Wea
ver was here, he walked from
33rd and Starr St. to the Uni
versity city campus every
morning, if possible," said
Wear.
Morning Roadwork
George Romney, president
of American Motors, gets up
at 5 a.m. every morning for
roadwork.
The president of the Metro
politan Life Insurance compa
ny engages in one hour of
vigorous physical exercise
every day, added Wear.
."And large corporations are
recognizing the importance of
physical exercise and encour
aging or making compulsory
physical exercise, he added
Surprising Extent
"I am surprised by the ex
tent to which University fac
ulty members go in for hand
ball, swimming and badmin
ton," Wear concluded.
Bud Wilkinson, Oklahoma
football coach and presiden
tial advisor on youth fitness,
recommends at least 15 mm
utes of vigorous physical ex
ercise each day lor au students.
The average American
male student should be able
to perform at least two pull-
ups (from fully extended po
sition), fourteen sit-ups and
four fast "squats" (every ten
seconds), according to Wil
kinson.
Herb Elliott, Australian
track star, had this to say of
Americans in a recent issue
of Sports Illustrated: "the
warm, soft, synthetic exist
ence that Americans lead
poses a real doubt about their
future.
"A people who so thorough
ly mollycoddle themselves
must steadily become weak
er, physically ana spiritually
. The fact that Americans
in recent years have not pro
duced any outstanding dis
tance runners is directly at
tributable to their soft way of
life."

The YWCA summer pro
gram, "Project Friendship,"
for the Indians living in Lin
coln will be from June 15 to
August 3. .
Approximately 250 Ameri
can Indians will participate
in the program.iThis program
will consist of recreation and'
activity led by student parti
cipants working under the su
pervision of a trained social
worker.
The project is intended to
continue the winter Indian
program which does not ex
tend into the summer months.
The project is a volunteer
summer worK program ana
any college student who will
be spending the summer in
Lincoln is eligible to join the
project.
Approximately eight to ten
hours per week will be expect
ed of each project member.
The time will be divided into
programs with the Indians,
(possibly two sessions weekly
for each student), consultation
with the staff and a seminar
with the project group.
Applications should be
turned in to the University
YWCA office, 335 Student
Union no later than June
1. Applicants will be con
tacted for an interview after
they apply.
"the duty of Council will be
to establish a representation
system which will consistently
provide high quality and well
informed leadership which
will reflect the interests and
opinions of the students."
"Perhaps the extended use
of the Student Council Associ
ates would provide such lead
ership," continued Burt. "As
sociates could be trained for
future leadership in the Coun
cil and eventually might join
the Council as a lower
house."
The new president feels
"the public issues committee
should be organized to work
with the Administration in
formulating its resolutions."
Burt suggested Council resolu
tions be submitted to city
council, State Legislature, and
the Big Eight Student Gov
ernment Association.
Also elected by acclamation
were first Vice President
Dave Scholz and second Vice
President Steve Cass.
Scholz, in presenting his
program to Council, observed
that "student interest must be
marshalled for an effective
Council as such interest is the
only bend between the Stu-
rexv
dent Council and the student
body."
In other business Council
elected the hold-over mem
bers who would serve their
senior year. The five selected
are: Don Burt, Steve Cass,
Chip Kuklin, Susie Moffit, and
Dave Scholz.
Outgoing President Steva
Gage presented Dean J. P.
Colbert with an honorary Stu
dent Council certificate of
membership. Colbert replied
that he felt "the students
should be allowed to make as
many of their own decisions
as possible."
Also honored for his assis
tance to the Council was Dr.
Baumgarten, outgoing Student
Council advisor. Baumgarten
congratulated the Council for
a fine year of service and
continued that "the Council
had been an effective force
on the campus scene."
Commenting upon his term
as Student Council President,
Gage reflected that "Council
has been the most unforget
able experience of my life,
contributing much to my fu
ture and immeasureably en
hancing my undergradu3t
years."
Franck Tribe Breakup
Will Hurt Communism
"The trend in Africa today
to break down her tribal sys
tem will not only act against
its communaiism, but against
Communism as well," said

New York University.

issa Solemnis 9 Performed
The University chorus will
perform Beethoven's ''Mass in
D, better known as "Missa
Solemnis," Sunday at 8 p.m.
in the Coliseum.
The performance, part of
the current symposium on arts
and religion, is free to the
public.
Four soloists, a large chor
us and full orchestra will per
form the mass. It will be con
ducted by Prof. Emanuel
Wishnow, chairman of the
University's department of
music.
The four soloists are Arlene
Saunders, soprano; Jane
Hobson, mezza-soprano; How
ard Fried, tenor; Leon Lish
ner, bass.
Arlene Saunders, soprano,
who has appeared in NBC-TV
Opera's performance of Pro
kofiev's "War and Peace,"
was a 1960 American Opera
Auditions winner and recipi
ent of the gold medal for the
1960 Vercelli vocal competi
tion In Italy. She appeared
this past season in New York
City Opera performances of
"Tabarro," "La Boheme" and
"Carmen."
Jane Hobson, mezzo-soprano,
a native of the Omaha
area and now associate pro
fessor of voice at Marshall
College In Huntington, W .Va.,
has appeared with the NBC
Symphony and New York
Philharmonic as a soloist.
She has been engaged five
times as soloist in the
Beethoven Symphony No. 9
with the Cleveland Orchestra.
Howard Fried, tenor, mem
ber of the New York City
Opera Co. and the San Fran
cisco Opera Co., has per
formed with the Philadelphia
Grand Opera, Philadelphia
Orchestra, Pittsburgh Opera,
National Symphony in Wash
ington, D.C., and Baltimore
Civia Opera.
Leon Lishner, bass, profes
sor of voice at tie Univer
sity who has sung in the
spring choral concerts for the
six years, appears each
Christmas h the NBCTV pro
duction of Glan-Carlo Menot
ti's opera, "Amahl and the

system in Africa today has
developed further along com
munal lines than even Marx
ism communism.
Franck explained the pres
ent frequent alliance of Af
rican nations with the Soviet
block in the UN by noting
that "the African nations
cannot afford to antagonize
the Russians when they are
the only group that has sup
ported the Africans in their
struggles in Angola and Goa."
When today's colonial con
trol of Africa is removed, Af
rican nations will vote with
the democratic-Western block,
said Franck.
Today's tribal society in
Africa provides a relatively
stable social welfare state
where the more prosperous
members of the tribe support
their less fortunate relatives,
he said.
"Political divisions in Af
rican nations form along tra
ditional tribal bases, with
members of a tribe being loy
al to the political leader
from that tribe," said Franck.
Examining the effects of
this tribal rivalry, Franck
noted that the highly
endowed, rich nations of Af
rica are reluctant to share
their wealth with the poorly
endowed nations.
"Today, traditional tribal
standards of justice are in
conflict with Western stand
ards; thus, the creation of
the apparent schizophrenia la
the African approach to prob
lems results," he said.
As for a United States of
Africa, Franck believes such
a union will result two to
three decades in the future.
"Although no one is talking
against such a union of Af
rican states," said Franck,
"most favor the gradual ap
proach to the union in light
of today's struggle with tri
bal loyalties to hold existing
nations together."
