Peace Corps
To Consider
Training Site
The Peace Corps is con
sidering the University of Ne
braska's College of Agricul
ture and the Nebraska Center
for Continuing Education as
possible training centers in
the areas of rural, commun
ity and agricultural develop
ment. "Nebraska is ideal," Ross
Pritchard, assistant head of
the Peace Corps said at a
meeting Monday. He called
the College of Agriculture
"one of the nation s finest
agriculture educational cen
ters." Pritchard said he would re
port to Sargent Shriver,
Peace Corps head, on the
favorable enthusiasm of the
University faculty and stud
ents toward the Corps and
the "definitely desirable"
training atmosphere Nebras
ka would present.
Dr. K. 0. Broady. director
I of the University Extension
Division and the Nebraska
Center for Continuing Educa
tion, said that the University's
reaction was very favorable.
"We do feel we have excel
lent facilities here at the
University and that the state
has resources that would be
good for this particular train
ing area," he said. "This
area is for training people to
work with water resources of
certain African countries."
Pritchard was in Lincoln to !
meet with soil and water of-;

Dr. Howells, of Ipswich, England, is

"Every member of the family," be
says, "is bombarded by stimuli ronlinn

The doctor stated that the child re

most disturbed member, but the mem

most attention-giving symptoms,"
In treatment, a consideration of the
family history is very important. How

How far back in a person's life can
you go? Recent work by psychologists
suggests that the fetus may be influenced
by emotional changes in the mother. It
is the mother who is generally closest
to the child during the formation of bis
basic emotional attitudes in childhood.
Dr. Howells described family his
tory thusly, "The child, if disturbed, be
comes the disturbed adolescent, who in
turn becomes the disturbed adult, who
in turn becomes the disturbed parent."
"It is precisely these disturbed par
ents who are most likely to create dis
turbances in their children."
How do we break this vicious circle?
It is obvious that one part of the circle
cannot be removed, cured, and then re
placed, for its cure would soou be un
done by the rest of the circle.
Dr. Howells believes that Family
Psychiatry may be the answer. "In fam
ily psychiatry," as understood by Dr.
Howells, "the family is not regarded
merely as a background to be modified
. . . family psychiatry accepts the fam
ily itself as the unit, the presenting pa
tient of any age being only a sign of
family psychpathology."

Challenges
Traditions
Ubell Addresses
Future Journalists
One of the oldest traditions
in the journalistic style of
writing was challenged yes
terday by the science editor
of the New York Herald
Tribune.
Earl Ubell told journalism
students that the inverted
pyramid style of writing
placing the most important
facts in the lead and continu
ing by decreased importance
cannot ' hold some stories
together properly.
He explained that doe to
the accepted idea that jour
ualists must write for "peo
ple on the run," the inverted
pyramid style allows "skim
mers" to get the major facts
at a glance. This style says
to the American reading pub
lic "you don't hue to read
the whole papet or enjoy

A syndicated columnist since
Ubell said that some
news stories should have a
ttory-type style. Writers
should start out and develop
interest in the theme.
Ubell also told the future
journalists that a reader
doesn't merely want to know
the news in straight form,
but how it all fits into the
overall picture of events in
the happenings of the world.
' He said that the two baste
retirements for a science
writer are good writing abili
ty and a basic interest fa sci
ence. He added that ft fs not

the educational sense.
The New York editor point
ed out that a specialized
knowledge in one field is
helpf ul in other areas of re
porting. He explained that
specialists in one field w ill
know more and understand
everything better because of
this specialization.
