Jackals in the alleys, leop
ards in the sheep .pastures,
and 400 million mouths to
feed combined to make an
American food expert's trip
to India interesting and bene
ficial. Warren W. Sahs, former
manager Of the University's
Foundation Seed Division, has
returned from India with the
story of a leopard he shot
in Rajasthan ; and a report
on India's current Five Year
Plan to produce more food.
"The jackals made noises
at night that sounded like a
group of teenage girls at a
slumber party," Sahs said.
"Antelope tastes like Nebras
ka beef, and looks like a
cross between a horse, cow,
and goat," he added.
Just a few miles from the
heart of New Delhi, India's
capital city, Sahs shot ante
lope called "nilghai," for
food.
Less exotic sheep, goats,
and water buffalo are also
major sources of meat; beef,
a staple in Nebraska, is not
used for food in India.
Vegetables, Fruit
Corn, sorghum, wheat, and
rice make up most of the
Indian diet with many vege
tables and fruits, reported
Sahs.
This may seem to be a
well balanced diet, but India
has notable cases of malnu
trition, he pointed out. To
make more food available to
her people, India has inaug
urated her third Five Year
Plan.
Sahs' part in the food plan
involved developing hybrid
seed in northern India.
His team of Indian and
Rockefeller Foundation s c i
entists helped in the volume
production of four new va
rieties of seed corn which
are adapted to produce high
yields in areas averaging
less than 30 inches of rain a
year.
Heat Resistant
Indian farmers could get
these heat and disease resist
ant varieties to yield almost
50 more grain than local or
"desi" varieties. Further
more, they have the grain
type and quality which is ac
ceptable to Indian cultivators
and consumers.
Sahs traveled over eight
Indian states to lead Wie field
training of personnel working
with hybrid seed producers
to make more seed available
to their commercial farmers.
The scientific group also set
up processing, distribution
and merchandising centers.
We Like Nebraska!-

Eastern
Students Give Comments
Friendliness, Girls, Football, Frats
On
By JIM MOORE
Nebraskan Staff Writer
East is east, and the Mid-West is the Mid-West, but on
the University of Nebraska campus the two successfully
meet and create an informative exchange of ideas.
Jane Fishenden, freshman pledge of Chi Omega from
London, England, commented, "Everything out here is so
different. The openness and space is just something I
wouldn't have believed if I hadn't seen it," she continued.
"The neon signs, super highways, and the billboards
were completely new to me. England would never have
such things," Jane related. "In fact, all of Nebraska is
strange, especially that 'game' called football," she quipped,
Continuing, Jane said, "Another things that amazes
me is the freedom of the curriculum here. In Switzerland
where I attended school, we were very much restricted in
the courses we could follow," she commented.
Young Ideas
"This country is known in Europe as a nation of young
people and young ideas. The progressiveness here is truly
unique," she concluded.
A Sigma Nu junior from New Jersey, who wanted Mr.
1066 used instead of his name, commented, "I once over
heard two of my classmates discussing mutual friends.
When the subject came up that I was going to the Univer
sity of Nebraska, the other commented, 'Gad! I thought he
was smart'!"
Continuing, he pointed out, "Seriously, I have found
this state to be among the best I have lived in."
Gary Tunnison, Delta Tau Delta pledge from Lyons,
N.Y., said, "The friendliness of the people here is some
thing you'd never run into back East," he commented.
Continuing, he said, "The Easterners picture Nebras
kans as big, corn-fed ranchers. However, the general con
ception of girls is that they are 'sharp'."
Beef-Fed " ' '
"The big difference is New Yorkers are beer-fed and
Nebraskans are beef-fed," Tunnison quipped.
"The biggest change I've noticed is the difference of
the fraternity systems," Tunnison related. "Here the fra
ternity is a way of life and a true feeling of brotherhood
exists. In the East, a fraternity is just a social clique," he
concluded.
Pi Beta Phi freshman Jia Hemple from Arlington, Va.,
commented, "In Nebraska the people are much more con
cerned with local news. The East is definitely orientated
toward the national and international situations," she con
tinued. "Most people in Virginia wondered if there was even
a University in Nebraska when I told them where I was
going," she laughed. "They just don't expect anything to
exist out here except huge farms," she continued.
Whatever the attitude of the East toward Nebraska and
our "farms", all the Eastern students were happy they had
the opportunity to live here. As one of them said, "It just
seems so much more genuine out here; none of the phoni
ness of the East is possible here."

The majority of Indian
farms are less than five acres
as compared to the North
American mean of a hundred
acres. Indian agriculture va
ries in technology from the
use of tractors to plowing
with bullocks, and from mod
ern irrigation .pumps to
scooping water out. of canals
with canvas buckets, said
Sahs.
India has the soil, water,
fertilizer, and insecticides of
a tremendous agricultural
country. "However," S a h
added, "They lack the ex
perience and managerial cap
abilities for maximum effici
ent production." ' i

Introduction
To Activities
Is Changed
Plans for a new freshman
activities orientation system
were made at a recent meet
ing of the Mortar Boards and
house activities chairmen.
During the discussions it
was decided that the Mortar
Boards would compile a list
of the approximately 200 or
ganizations on campus with
a brief explanation of each.
The sheets will be distri
buted among the various liv
ing units.
The idea of composing the
sheet is to bring more em
phasis to the less emphasized
groups on campus. The or
ganizations will be classified
as to their functions.
Representatives of Mortar
Board and Innocents will
speak to the freshmen girls
in their living units upon re
quest. The activities chair
men will explain the indivi
dual organizations.
Those who wish to have
speakers must contact Nancy
Miller, Mary Weatherspoon
or Cyn Holmquist by Octo
ber 1.

Nobody's really suggesting romance will be yours if you wear
U.S. Keds. But it is true that Keds are the best-fitting, the most
comfortable, good-looking and long-wearing fabric casuals you
can buy. Because Keds are made with costlier fabrics. With an
exclusive shockproofed arch cushion and cushioned innersole.
In short, with all those "extras" that make them your best buy
in the long run. Head for your nearest Keds dealer. Get that
Keds look, that Keds fit... GET THAT GREAT KEDS FEEUXCI
