Nebraskan Staff Writer
"I was on a kind of detec
tive case," explained Thomas
Raysor, professor of English.
'you don't go out looking for
a manuscript," he said, "but,
you get clues as to where
more are, and then you go
looking for them."
The detective case that Prof
Raysor was relating concerns
his two searches through Eng
land trying to find manu
scripts of Samuel Coleridge,
the "English romantic poet.
Dr. Thomas Raysor, 68, Is
leaving the University in
Jane, a r e s a 1 1 of having
reached the mandatory retire
ment. He was born in Chapel Hill,
Texas, on March 9, 1895. He
attended grade school in Bry
an, Texas, and high school
at Allen Academy. He spent
two ytxt at the University
of Texas and one year at the
University a Chicago, before
entering Harvard College and
receiving his A.B. degree
there.
On graduating from Har
vard Dr. Raysor taught for a
half year before entering the
from the University of Mis
souri School of Journalism, ;
and the Trustees' Award of
the National Academy of Tel
evision Arts and Sciences.
In 1960 Dr. Stanton was
named a fellow of Sigma Del
ta Chi, the professional jour
nalism society, and received
the George Foster Peabody
Public Service Award of the
Henry W. Grady School of
Journalism, the University of
Georgia.
In the spring of 1961, in rec
ognition of Dr. Stanton's sus
tained effort to bring about
the "Great Debates," he was
again awarded the George
Foster Peabody Public Serv
ice award.
In a congratulatory tele
ram President Kennedy co
mended "his role in making
it possible for last year's TV
debates to take place" and
noted that his was a "sig
nificant advance in American
Politics."

the permanent statewide Educational
Television Network Bow bctac pro
med for Nebraska.
In some places, high qual
ity is still available. Nebraska
is one of those places.
On display right now is a
new proposal, Education
al Television, and this spring,
an ETV network covering the
entire state is being inspected
by the legislature.
The merits of permanent
ETV have already been re
ported. The product is good.
It will provide a valuable serv
ice to many people. It will
serve Nebraska from border
to border.
Now, an all-important ques
tion enters the picture: how
much does the new proposal
cost?
Relatively, it does not cost
much. For the needed land,
new faculties and equipment
to launch Nebraska's state
wide ETV program, the over
all cost has been pinpointed
at a maximum $3.1 million.

Open
On May 16
Four days of ceremonies
from May 16 through May 19
will open the new Sheldon
Memorial Art Galleryon the
University campus. According
to Director Norman Geske,
the dedicatory ceremonies will
begin at 11 a.m. with Dr.
Frank Stanton, president of
Columbia Broadcasting Sys
tem, as principal speaker.
Dr. Stanton recently pre
sented to the University Gal
lery a casting of a Laborador
granite figure by William
Z o r a c h, one of America's
leadine sculptors. The work of
art, entitled "Torso," was
from Dr. Stanton s home.
Chancellor C. M. II a r d i n
will be master of ceremonies
at the dedication, for which
attendance will be limited to
invited guests.
Brief remarks will be de
livered by Dr. B. N. Green
berg of York, president of the
Board of Regents, and Mrs.
A. B. Sheldon of Lexington,
widow of Mr. A. B. Sheldon,
who along with his sister,
Frances, bequeathed $3 mil
lion for the construction of the
Gallery.
Gov. Frank B. Morrison
and Architect Philip Johnson
of New York City, who de
signed the building, will be in
troduced. The dedicatory program
will be telecast live and will
be taped for later transmis

Fellowship. He spent a year
at the British museum in Lon
don assembling as many of
the manuscripts used by Cole
ridge in his Shakespearean
lectures as possible.
At the end of the year, he
returned to the states and
t a u g h t at the University of
Minnesota. He then taught
four years at Washington
State University as an asso
ciate professor and professor.
During his time at Washing
ton state, Dr. Raysor re
ceived a Guggenheim Fellow
ship, and returned to Eng
land, where he continued his
manuscript search.
This time, Raysor was more
successful in the homes of
Lord Coleridge, a descendant
of the ooets ancle, and of
Gerad Coleridge, a clergyman
and direct descendant, ne
found the original notes which
Coleridge had used In prepar
ing and delivering lectures in
London and Bristol.
Raysor's job, to edit the
manuscripts in a readable
form, was no easy task.

tion system used, the final
figure could be lower.
But even at a cost of $3.1
million, the cost per person
would be only $2.20 based on
tho official state copulation
census. That is about equal
to building about seven mues
of interstate highway.
In addition to initial costs.
the ETV survey also provides
data for the future. &ucn Key
areas as technical problems,
administrative matters, pro
gramming and legal aspects
are all covered.
Actually, the initial per per
son cost of Nebraska's ETV
system could drop still farther
below $2.20. As the result of
recently passed federal ETV
legislation, it has been esti
mated that the state would
qualify for $600,000 in federal
funds, for the purchase of new
equipment.
Once the six-station ETV
network is completed, the cost
picture brightens even more.
At that point, operating costs
would come to $430,000 or less,

Where would the money
come from?
There are two sources for
the fractional mill levies. The
two proposals before the leg
islature carry a fractional mill
levy on each dollar of taxable
state property from this year
through 1965. This would pay
the costs of construction and
new equipment. After these
initial network costs have
been paid, a smaller dollar
mill levy would then be
charged annually on the same
basis beginning in 1966.
The smaller mill levy would
handle the year-by-year costs
of network operation, staffing,
administration and evening
programs. Costs for the day
time ETV instructional pro
grams in classrooms would
continue to be paid by par
ticipating school systems.

On Labor Force Role
Nationalism in the countries
of Asia and Africa demands
social and economic progress,
and this progress is most of
ten considered in terms of in
dustrialization, according to
R. Hattari.
Industrialization in turn re
quires a new type of labor
force, which, depending upon
the size and character of its
organization and leadership,
can play a significant role in
the modernization of underde
veloped areas and in the
shaping of government poli
cies and attitudes toward the
emergence of the common
man, he said.

knowledge concerning indust
