by former state Senator Ray
Simmons ir, a statement
charging the "liberal" views
of the Daily Nebraskan edi
torial and news policies were
not consistent with policies
which should be followed by
a tax-supported instrument

that the Nebraskan is tax
supported, and professors in
the School of Journalism de
n i e d categorically all

quire into the strength of
Simmons' charges.

SENATOR'S LUNCHEON
ienat
Meet At ILuinielheoGD
Topics of discussion at yesterday's
Statehouse Luncheon were on everything
from fluoridation to fireworks.
Five senators and twenty five stu
dents participated in the noon luncheon
which opened the second half of the
Senators' Program. According to Doug
Thorn, chairman of the event, the pur
pose of the program is to acquaint the
students with senators' ideas on every
thing from a broadened tax base to
school reapportionment.
In addition, the senators will learn
the iews of some of their younger con
stituents on the same issues.
The lawmakers who participated in
the program were: Lt. Gov. Dwight
Burney, Sen. Lloyd Stadler, of Humbolt,
Sen. Michael Russillo of Omaha, Sen.
Albert Kjar of Lexington and Cecil
Craft of North Platte.-
Several of the students who attend
ed the luncheon had comments to make
concerning the program and its future.
I y creating a feeling of cooperation
and understanding, this program will
"eventually benefit both the students at
the University and the people of the
Ecumenical
Recognizes
"The Ecumenical Council
set in motion certain forces
which will affect Catholics
and all Christians in the
world," said the Rt. Rev.
James V. Casey, Bishop of
Lincoln.
He said that a new world
is taking shape in the fields
nt tcience and politics and
that it will continue to take
shape with or without the in
fluence of Christ.
Bishop Casey said that in
the last 2,003 years there have
been only 20 Councils.
All other Councils have
been called with a definite
purpose, but this one wasn't.
Pope John XXin called the
Council to "let fresh air into
the church," said Bishop Ca
say. "It was the will of Christ
that all followers be one," be
said. Yes, there will be unity
in the Christian Church be
cause it is inevitable, but I
don't know when nor how.
Usually the Council is
calletf when there are differ
e n c e s to be solved in the
Catholic Church, Bishop Casey
explained.
The overall significance of
the Council is that it has de
parted from four centuries of
isolation to a new era char
acterized by a new sense of
understanding and growing
sense of solidarity, said Kish
op Casey.
He said that in addition to
the 2,2011 cardinals and bish
ops and 09 abbots, there were
44 Protestant observers at
Council.
Bishop Casev emphasized
the impact these Protestants
had on the Council He com
mended them highly, saying

state," observed JoAnn Strateman.
Tom Kort added that if a better un
derstanding is created between the stu
dent and his senator, and if the student
receives an appreciation of his state
government, then the program will have
been a success.
Often this type of program has after
effects, according to Jean Probasco.
The senator may strike up a close
friendship with the student which results
in the visits to the legislature and first
class tours of the statehouse.
The senators seemed to enjoy them
selves. "I always enjoy meeting and
talking to students, I kind of wish that
I was back at their age myself," said
Sen. Russillo.
Lt. Gov. Burney said that he thought
the whole idea of these luncheons was
a great thing. "I was pleased to find
two of my Hartington friends sitting at
the table with me. I don't get to see
too many people from home," he added.
Burney even invited his two "Harting
ton friends" to call him if they ever
needed a ride home on the weekends.
The senators were unanimous on
wanting to see the program continued.

that they were very well
chosen and very learned in
the church.
He said that the liturgy of
the Catholic Church was the
one part that was thoroughly
discussed and voted upon. He
said that there is a growing
decentralization of the Cath
r.lw' Church with more de
cisions in the field of litergy

The members of the small
orchestra took their places
on the stage of the McCook
College auditorium.
Members of small orches
tras in many Nebraska
communities take their
places many times as their
instructor climbs to the
platform after an all night
trip by train to meet them.
This is a weekly occur
ance for Louis TrzcinskL
University professor of
stringed instruments, who
bas organized small orches
tras in several communi
ties throughout Nebraska.
He is presently working in
Grand Island.
"I just help them get or
ganized and recruit mem
bers," said Mr. TrzcinskL
"Then local leaders take
over and 1 just serve as a
resource person." -
The purpose of the proj
ect is threefold: to help
schools and communities re
vitalize interest in orches
tral activities; to provide an
opportunity for school mu
sic teachers to further their
growth in music education;

and to afford an opportun
ity for all string players of
the community to partici
pate actively in v a r i o u s
string ensembles and or
chestras. The main objective, how
ever, is to deepen the cul
tural appreciation of the in
dividual communities
throughout Nebraska, said
TrzcinskL
"Nebraskans have the
idea that the grass is green
er on the other side of the
fence," said the instructor.
"Actually they are getting
more for their money here
than anywhere. They have
a certain sincerity and vi
tality in their work.
"Nebraskans must realize
what can be done here in
their own state," said Trz
cinskL "They must quit try
ing to be a New York or
California and just be them
selves." '
It it because of this be
lief that Trzcinski has ded
icated so much of his time
to his program.
A vital factor is the func
tional relationship of the

Museum To Show
Da Vinci Models
The University State Muse
um today opens to the public
the most extensive display of
models of the inventions of
Leonardo Da Vinci in exist
ence.
The models, including a
automatic drum and a flying
machine, all from the 15th
centurv. are copies of Da
Vinci's designs. They were
made bv R. A. Guatelli. who
has worked most of his life
on them.
Models of the machines are
part of the International Busi
ness Machines Corporation
display of Da Vinci's inven
tions. Copies of his famous
paintings are also in the ex
hibit.
"We are having the display
here so that the schools of
the area can take advantage
of it," according to Dr. C.
Bertrand Schultz, director of
the museum.
The IBM Corporation is al
lowing the display to remain
in Lincoln until April 28 be
cause of the numoer ot scnooi
groups expected to view it,
he said. The collection trav
els to institutions throughout
the nation, usually for shorter
period of time.
Guatelli will be on hand to
begin the exhibit.
Among the models is the
ornithopter, or flying ma
chine, which .was a wooden
frame and two huge wings
into which a man was
strapped.
rganizes Smoi
ment to life in the com
munity. Community adults,
teachers, and administra
tors from participating
schools meet periodically on
the campus with the Univer
sity music faculty and ad
ministration to discuss com
mon problems.
Typical issues attacked
by the group pertain to
string curriculum planning,
youth interests and needs
in music, evaluation of ex
isting programs, and selec
tion of new centers.
Besides the basic issues
common to all, each com
munity has its wn prob
lems which need to be
solved in a way best adapt
able to that community.
This is usually approached
through the local adminis
tratioi, music faculty and
community adults who are
interested in the project or
actively engaged in string
work.
The plan has been adopt
ed as a regular service of
the Music Department and
Extension Division, accord
ing to Trzcinski.

the schools but branch out

The vice-president of the Society for Indecency to
Naked Animals (SINA) was contacted by phone yester
day by representatives of the Residence Association for
Men (RAM) and set March 18 as the tentative date
for President C. Clifford Prout's appearance at the Uni
versity. RAM will sponsor Prout in an all-University con
vocation either in the Coliseum or the Union, Bill Dunk
lau said.
Prout and his followers marched on the White
House last weekend and asked Mrs. John F. Kennedy
and her daughter, Caroline, to clothe their horses when
on their riding excursions.
The vice-president of the organization said Prout is
currently hiding somewhere in California from an esti

He made an appearance at the University of Cali
