Dr. Champe undertook a six week excursion to Guatema la, Honduras and eastern Mexico. While there he saw many of the Mayan ruin. The Mayans were probably the most influential tribe in central America previous to the advent, of the Aztecs. On this trip he also saw the city of Tikal, the '"Athens of the Maya." It was here that much of the work was done on the Mayan calendar, which was perfected about 296 A.D. The forests there are 125 feet tan, but the pyramids tower high above them, he said. "You get a beautiful view of the rain forests from the top of one of those pyra mids," said Dr. Champe. "We liked that trip so much," said Champe, "that during Christmas time we went to Yucatan in eastern Mexico. We saw Chi-cben Itza, a city of great arche ological importance and Ux mal on this trip," he said. Dr. Champe doesnt have any souvenirs. Tm not a col lector, I'm just an archeo logical tourist.

"We considered coed counselors and big-little sis ter programs." . Those attending the conven tion were Kathy Vollmer, Miss Larson, Nancy Holm quist, Elaine Anderson and Mrs. Marilyn Koehn. "We are planning to have a state -wide A.W.S. meet at the University next fall," said the president "We should encourage that all the state's colleges have a wom en's governing board similar to ours." i The A.W.S. Board voted to change the structure of the organization which would di vide the board into two areas judicial and program. "This would give us an op portunity to have more and better programs and to be come known as something more than a governing board," said Miss Larson. "We hope to have programs concerning the academic and activity life of girls." Application's Due Applications for Young Re publican executive offices are due today at 345 Student Un ion.

Ag College Expansion Is Planned Eldridge Describes Future Construction The University of Nebraska is the envy of every other Ag College in the nation. Dr. F. E. Eldridge told Ag students yesterday. Speaking yesterday noon in the Ag Union, Eld ridge, Director of Resident In struction, outlined future hopes for expansion on Ag campus. He said that the ir rigated field laboratory at Mead, the Child Development Lab near the Nebraska Cen ter and co-operative experi ments with the USDA's pro posed program at Hastings, are all opportunities which are envied by the nation's oth er schools. All of these projects are comparatively y b g. Eld ridge said. The Child Devel opment Lab is not yet teen aged, and has already out grows its home. The Field Lab was born less than a year ago. The Hastings project is still in the prenatal stages. But these comparative in faats, said Eldridge, are healthy enough to attract en vy if not students and fac ulty from many universi ties in the U.S. And more expaasieais plaaaed, said Eldridge, pointing out at the same time that sophomore enrollment ia Nebraska's high schools is al most only 19 fewer than their classes of '62 and 13 combined. This indicates that freshman enrollment in Nebraska col leges, including the Ag Col lege, could double in two years, the Director of Resi dent Instruction said. Partly to keep up with this increased demand for educa tion the Ag College is using nearly $700,000 a year, from a special levy, for building ex pansion, Eldridge said. Top oa tbe priority list is a building complex for the new ly formed School of Home Economics. .
