years of school. He gradu
ated from Friend High School
in 19rl and entered the Uni
versity in the college of en
gineering. He remained in that col
lege until he was called into
the service with the first
group in April 1917. He was
a member of the first ROTC
group organized at the Uni
versity. He was commis
sioned, a first lieutenant in
the regular army and 'served
at Ft Snelling, Minnesota,
training camp until he re
signed in August 1318.
Immediately after his re
lease from the service, he re
turned to the University, en
rolled in the college of Arts
and Sciences where he was
awarded a bachelor of arts
degree in mathematics. With
his father, he farmed wheat
in western Nebraska until
1922.
Champe was a bond sales
man for two years before go
ing into the insurance busi
ness. He held various jobs
with an insurance firm, untfl
he was. made vice-president
and general manager. This
post he held until 1938, when
he decided to return to school
for graduate work.
After two years of course
work at Columbia University,
be came to tbe University as
an instructor in anthropology.
In 194S be retained to Co
lumbia to take bis exams
and then received bis Ph.D.
in anthropology.

the department until he
reached age 65.
Two summers ago. 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. AH I brought
back was a lot of memories
and L700 slide pictures."
'l havent the slightest
idea what 111 do when I
leave the University," he
said. "There is a lot of writ
ing that I've been putting off.
IH probably try to catch up
on that."
Dr. Champe plans to re
main in Lincoln. "This has
been my home since 1915,"
he admitted, ""my wife and I
will just stay here."

AWS Investigates
Plan For Seniors
Associated Women's Stu
dent Board (AWS) is inves
tigating a program which
would give a wider range of
privileges to seniors, accord
ing to Sally Larson, president
"We discussed this and oth
er problems at an Intercol
legiate AWS convention in
Norman, Okla.," said Miss
Larson. "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."

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.
