MORTAR BOARDS . . .
Reason for Being Seen
Junior and senior women students at
the University will have an excellent op
portunity next Wednesday evening to find
out the why's and how's of graduate ed
ucation. For the second year Nebraska's chap
ter of Mortar Boards will present a semi
nar to acquaint junior and senior wom
en with the opportunities available in grad
uate fields of study. And for the second
year the Mortar Boards will be serving
the campus in a definite manner and
filling a void long overlooked.
On lower levels of the education
al system great measures are taken to
acquaint students with the advantages
and methods of acquiring higher training
and education. Most of us as high school
juniors and seniors were bombarded by
college representatives and literature con
cerning the subject of why we should
go to college instead of quitting school to
make good money outside. Advisors and
principles, friends and parents all were
an influence on our coming on to college
through their mature and 'realistic dis
cussions concerning college. A big step,
they would say, but one that can be eas
ily made if you understand what a col
lege is and what college life is like.
They made us understand.
This is the purpose of the graduate
seminar which the Mortar Boards are
sponsoring in conjunction with the Gradu
ate College here at NU. Through this
seminar University coeds will be able to
clear up their doubts and questions con
cerning a graduate education. Questions
like "Is it really necessary?", "What use
is it?", "How do you go about apply
ing and to what schools?", and other
questions concerning specific details:
"How do you get accepted?", "What
tests need be taken?", etc.
The seminar win consist of a general
talk by Dr. Roy Holly, dean of the Grad
uate College, on how to become a gradu
ate student. Then a panel of deans will
answer and discuss any questions the
students might ask concerning graduate
study in general or in their particular
field of interest. Following the panel dis
cussion, the group will break down into
small forums according to colleges for
close and specific discussion about grad
uate study and possibilities in specialized
areas. The deans of the various colleges
on campus will lead these small groups
in their discussion and answer questions.
The seminar which is open to junior
and senior women is a fine step for any
service organization to make; and, in
particular, for Mortar Boards to initiate
since they are an organization that is
concerred with the promotion of good
scholarship among women.
In connection with their interest in
promoting graduate study among women
here at the University, Mortar Boards
will announce at the seminar Wednesday
the offering of a $300 fellowship for any
University women planning on attending
any one of the University's graduate
schools next year. The fellowship is of
fered to both undergraduates planning on
attending graduate school at NU or any
women graduate students planning on con
tinuing her graduate study here.
Through both of these services the
graduate seminar and the $300 fellow
ship for women show a sincere effort
on the part of our Mortar Boards to ful
fill their obligation to the University of
promoting scholarship and furthering ed
ucation. Too often both the Mortar
Boards and Innocents Society never let
the general public or student body know
about the services they perform. Thus,
most people do not understand why the
two honoraries are called "service" or
ganizations. Not wanting to overdo our comments
on Mortar Boards, but they have initiat
ed with funds left over from last year a
fine financial aid program for foreign
students (men or women) studying at the
University. Emergency foreign student
scholarship they call it. It is a $150
scholarship which the Foreign Student of
fice will grant to any foreign student en
rolled in the University (length of time
not important) who shows a need for the
money in order to continue his education.
It is the finest type of scholarship
that could be set up by any group or
individual. Foreign students often need
cash during a school year, which they
are unable to acquire from normal
sources. Many are forced to drop their
training and education in this country be
cause most scholarships have require
ments as to how long the foreign stu
dent has been going to the University
and assurance of his scholastic qualifica
tions. The awarding of the Mortar Board's
$150 is contingent only upon need.
The mystic Mortar Boards have
dropped some of their mysticism in or
der that we might see and appreciate the
truly fine service they are doing.
Supplementary
Statenient
Prof. Albert Schrekinger of the Grad
uate School of Social Work recognized
some of the adjustment problems of new
foreign students at an American Univer
sity at a meeting of the Nebraska In
ternational Association. He suggested to
these new students that they cope with
some of these problems by getting to
know American people and American cul
ture. Each foreign student needs to de
termine for himself what he can and
what he cannot accept. Professor Schrek
inger appealed to the new foreign stu
dents to look not only for evidence of
"rugged individualism," provincialism and
prejudice, but to recognize the strength
of the humanitarian tradition in American
culture and to look at evidence of con
cern for human welfare, world orienta
tion, and open mindedness in a growing
number of American people in our time.
The University expresses its concern for
the welfare of foreign students through
its foreign student advisors. Professor
Schrekinger encouraged foreign students
who need help with personal problems to
use the service of these advisors.
ll f
Coed Commandant
Changes Opinion
To the Editor:
While serving as an en
listed man in the U.S.
Army, I had a very low
opinion of BOTC officers.
I see now, however, that
more is being done than
I was aware of to give
cur future military lead
ers the correct perspec
tive on the true condition
of our Armed Forces.
I wish to applaud the
decision to elect an Hon
orary Commandant ((fe
male type) to head our
future warriors. I hope
the members of the ROTC
realize the full signifi
cance of this act It is a
token gesture giving rec
ognition to the actual
command power that
presently runs our mili
tary services.
In the battalion in which
I served in Europe, the
chainof-command went
like this: Colonel's wife
makes a decision, brings
it up at supper table,
colonel's daughter (19)
comments on it, the colo
nel then brings the sug
gestion up at the -staff
meeting, the decision is
delayed until the staff
members have a chance
to talk over the idea with
their wives, the wives dis
cuss it at a bridge meet
ing and reach a final de
cision. The husbands are
told of the decision which
is then accepted at a sec
ond staff meeting.
1 must admit 1 was en
tirely ignorant of the fact
that this procedure was
admitted so openly in our
ROTC training programs.
It was only after I had
found out that the Honor
ary Commandant was to
be a woman that my ig
norance was terminated.
Hats off to this truth
ful approach and to the
officers (or their wives)
who have wisely insti
tuted its use?
Sincerely yours,
Eldridge Foster
Dean Had Better
Investigate Team
To the Editor:
The confments made by
Don Ferguson on the sub
rosas was most certainly
a milestone in journal
ism. I agree wholeheartedly
with Don but I feel that
Dean Ross is stiQ playing
the end to the mean. Ross
has gotten a few boys,
several good ones, but the
fact still remains that he is
afraid to touch the foot
ball team. It is a widely
known fact over campus
that half of our football
team are also associated
with this mess.
Is Ross afraid to take
action as he has done
with the common student
population or are football
players immune from the
hand of justice. Ross is
no better than his word,
if he is afraid to take ac
tion, he's no better than
having no dean at all.
Favoritism is not the
best way to run a school.
I hope the Administration
wakes up to this fact.
A clean-up must be
made a clean-up. No per
son barred or no reason
valid if the parties are
guilty.
Sincerely ytur,
James Penny worth
Graduate
((Editor's Note: Every
one would agree with you
. . . concerning the foot
ball team and other or
ganizations on campus.
This is not enough. Proof
is needed before action
can be taken and names
are needed before an in
vestigation can begin. If
you have names or proof,
report them to Student Affairs.')

I recently brought out their
I A Guide to Study Abroad
i by Drs. John A. Garraty
and Walter Adams.
This is a comprehen-

1 plan or hope to study in
Europe, Latin America,

I for several weeks dur-
I Ing a summer vacation
period, for a year, or in

I It shows students and
i teachers going abroad the
1 programs that are good,
and those that are mere-
1 jy tourism promotions.
I It examines, in detail,
s over 500 year-abroad and
summer school offerings,
I from secondary school to
graduate levels.
I It presents authoritative
1 guidance on credit-bear-I
ing courses, tuition, liv
I ing expenses, housing,
low-budget travel through
j European student unions,
and ways to cut costs
while getting more out of
I one's stay abroad.
I The author's have made
regular surveys of twen-
ty-six nations since 1958,
when they were selected
to undertake a Carnegie
1 study of educational fa
ll cilities abroad.
In 1961 and then again
i in early 1962 they checked
I their evaluations and ree

spot.
This guide and other
material containing in-

How many secrets the
United States guards in
its storehouses of secrets
is itself a secret, but the
current estimate is that
the government holds
around 3 billion classified
documents. That works
out to at least one secret
for every person in the
world, man, woman and
babe in arms. There is
something for everybody.
If there is a problem
here and there must be,
because just storing all
this hush-hush stuff costs
around half a million dol
lars a year) the govern
ment might try solving it
with some kind of Surplus
Secrets Disposal Act. On
the other hand, maybe
the government ought not
to try to share the bur
den. Most of us common
folks have trouble keeping
only one secret. The Sun
