in the school of journalism.
The student assistance was
a test of skills learned in the
classroom by members of the
editing, advanced reporting

classes.
While student teams have
participated fa editorial priv
dactioa of all but two of Ne

previous years, this is the

The field trip is the cul

The initial six weeks of t b e
semester are reserved for
classroom instruction with the
three classes meeting separ
ately. After this the three groups
are combined to form an inte
grated newspaper operation
as the students simulate pro
duction of a newspaper.
Dr. William E. Hall, direc
tor of the school of journal
ism, said, "These field trips
provide final examinations for
advanced news-editorial stud
ent i that cannot be duplicated

"Much of the recent success
of the school of journalism

"In our country, liberal and

The conservative tradition,
he feels, although it is a more

On the extreme right, there

NL4 Collects Books
For Libraries, Schools
By SUE HOVIK
Nebraskan Staff Writer
In Yemen the community
school teacher's wife who
acted as librarian told a
little boy that he must return
a book that was long over
due. The little boy pulled the
book out of his pocket along
with a notebook in which he
had painstakingly recopied
every word. He told the li
brarian, "Now I will always
have a book of my own to
read."
This is typical of many
examples given in requests
sent to the Nebraska Inter
national Association (MAI for
bonks for schools and li
braries, said Jack Ward, book
project co-chairman.
NL collects from Univer
sity sources. University pro
fessors, book stores, student
donations and private dona
tions. Ward said that Chief Jus
tice Robert G. Simmons got
3.000 books from the school
district for the project.
Some of the subjects cov
ered in the books are reading,
German, English literature,
biology, roology, sociology,

of the structure of our gov

Robert Welch is called upon
to "represent" the conserva

"The extremes don't repre

"We must not panic," he
believes.
"One of the great calcu
lated risks that our system
takes is in tolerating such
groups, in allowing them to
exist."
There is an insistence by the
John Birch Society on a "con
spiracy view of history," Hall
said.
These include conspiracies
of the Roman Catholics, Jews
and Communists.

Hall said. But, he pointed
out, there is a very definite
one in the United States, where
he feels there is developing
"a kind of conformity in
blandness."
In an interview Saturday, he
discussed the American col
lege campus.
"To me, college is the only
place where a unified ideal
ism can be found," said the
man who terminated his own
schooling at 15.
"But this idealism needs to
be harnessed and channeled.
"Under the present circum
stances of apathy, it can't be
properly harnessed."
He blames the laziness of
many college professors for
the maintenance of this apa
thetic attitude of students.
In his lecture tours, he has
encountered heads of political
science departments who said
that they had "never thought
about politics in terms of left,
right and center movements.''
"I've met college graduates
who cant even think. I cant
imagine why anybody would
want to lead an unexamined
life."
