Six University students and
one student from Kearney
State Teachers College have
been chosen to attend El Co
legio de Mexico with all ex
penses paid, announced Dr.
Esquenazi - Mayo, associate
professor of Spanish and di
rector of the Latin America
Studies Program.
"One of the finest, most im
portant educational institu
tions in the western hemis
phere, you can almost say
that it has more faculty
members than students," said
Dr. Esquenazi.
The stu
dents who
will attend
El Col egio
are:
Susan
R u t t e r,
sophomore in
Spanish,
who plans
a career in
the foreign
service Miss Rutter,
or secondary teaching.

Spanish, who plan a career
teaching Spanish in college
or the foreign service.
Connie Wallin, a junior in
Spanish and English, who
plans to teach on the second
ary level and eventually in
college.
Susan Mc
C 1 y m o n t,
sophomore in
Spanish,
who plans a
career in the
foreign serv
ice. Gayle Carl
son, a sopho
more in Span

more in Spanish, who plans
to enter business or govern
ment in Latin America.
Larry DeBower, a Spanish

corps.
The stu

lected by a
appointed
for this pur

A d m i n i s

selection of
the students
was based on
their compe- Miss Wallin
tence to work well in Span
ish, overall good academic
record and good prospects
for future careers in college
teaching or the foreign serv
ice. The students will have the
round-trip by jet between Lin

pins op to $1200 for the nine

r e p r e-Miss McClymont
sentatives of the University,
Nebraska and the United
States.
He also said that he is
happy that all of the students
participating are native Ne
braskans except one who is
from Texas.
The purpose of the pro
pram is not only to give stu
dents the facilities in which
to speak and study Spanish,
but also to give them a
chance to work in one of the
most demanding educational
Institutions In the western
hemisphere, said Dr. Esquen-asi.

The stu
dents will
work in his
tory, interna
tional affairs,
i c affairs,
and literature
and w i 1 1 re
receive credit
at the . Uni
versity for
these
courses, he said.
One of the conditions that
these students must fulfill be
fore they go, said Dr. Es
quenazi, is an ability in and
knowledge of American his
tory. Certain books are required
reading and they must speak
with Prof. James Olson,
chairman of the history de
partment, on American his
tory before they leave.
This is the first program of
its kind in the history of the
University and El Colegio, he
said. It is not only a chance
for these students to study
at a first rate institution, but
they will also be studying
with the best of the Latin
American students who are
preparing themselves for a
future in the deplomatic service.
The Uni
versity hopes
to have two
students
from El Col
egio here
next fall, he
;aid.
"I am very
happy
that the stu
dents of t h e Eiting
University are having the op
portunity because they will
have the whole academic
year to study and to develop
their intellectual ability and
these students deserve it, he
said.
Prof. A 1 b i n Anderson, of
the history department, will
be a visiting professor at El
Colegio this coming year
and win be able to offer
these students help if they
need it, said Dr. Esquenazi.
We hope it will be a con
tinuous scholarship, he said.
The students will leave the
week of June 24 by jet from
Lincoln for Mexico City
where they will be met by El
Colegio and the American
Embassy.
Orientation courses begin
July 1 at the American Em
bassy and the students will
begin first semester classes
at El Colegio on July 8.
Dr. Esquenazi, chairman of
the Mexican program, said
that plans had been in the
making for over a year.
He said that he had worked
very closely with Prof. Olson,
former visiting professor at
El Colegio; Prof. Lloyd Weav
er, advisor to the foreign stu
dents; Dr. Jack Goodwin, of
ficer in exchange of personnel
at the American Embassy in
Mexico; Walter Militzer,
dean of the College of Art!
and Sciences; and many
others.
Dean Militzer said "I think
this program is one of the
most significant tilings we've
done in the last five years;
It is very important part of
our Latin American program
development.

Two more persons have
been nominated for the title
of "Outstanding Nebraskan."
Letters of nomination for John
Bentley, Publicity Director fo
Intercollegiate Athletics, and
for Frederick Beutel, profes
sor of Law, were received
yesterday by the Daily Ne
braskan. "I am aware," read the
letter nominating Bentf.ey,
"that the 'Outstanding Ne
braskan' faculty award goes
only to faculty members.
However, I am asking you to
suspend the rules to allow the
nomination of John Bentley to
be accepted."
Bentley's letter stated that
he is as much a part of the
University as is the coliseum,
where he has served for sev
enteen years.
He has been more than an
athletic publicist, said the let
ter, he has spread goodwill
in the name of the University
wherever he has travelled.
"John Bentley never con
sidered his work as just a
job. He has that unique qual
ity which makes men toil
overtime for something more
important than financial re
ward." The mark of an outstanding
faculty member, said the let
ter, is the harvest of his la
bor, his students who go
on to accomplishments of
their own. This has been the
case with Bentley. The upper
echelons of the state's and
midwest's sportswriters are
swelled with "Bentley's
boys."
Frederick Beutel, professor
of Law, is ' a professor who
is relatively unknown on this
campus, read his letter of
nomination. He is, however,
"chiefly responsible for the
national significance of one
of the professional colleges."
According to the letter, Pro
fessor Beutel arrived at the
University in 1945 and
reopened the College of Law
which had been closed during
World War II.
"It is because of his efforts
that the college of law now
has such an excellent aca
demic rating," it read.
As dean of the college from
1945 to 1949, Prof. Beutel com
pletely reorganized its struc
ture. He revised the curricu
lum, created the aptitude ex
am procedure, and reorgan
ized the Nebraska Law Re
view. Professor Beutel has written
seven books and thirty-fonr
law review articles. His books
are used as text and refer
ence books at all the leading
law colleges in the country.
Beutel, listed in "Who's
Who," is a member of the
coin
American Law Institute, an
organization which periodical
ly modifies and revises the
laws on which this country is
based.
"Outside of class, Profes
sor Beutel is always eager to
discuss and assist the students
in their legal education. His
tireless efforts to form the
minds of his students into an
alytical perfection has en
deared him to many".
The end of the academic
year will mark the end of
Beutel's 18-year career at the
University. He will 'retire' to
Puerto Rico, where he will
again organize a university
into "a nucleus of legal edu
cation." Forty-three students signed
the letter which terminated,
"Professor Beutel should be
honored by this University
and its students for his many
years of endeavor which have
resulted in one of the finest
law colleges in the nation,"

an art portfolio, an essay and
a short story is currently on

Campus Bookstores.

Buried Alive Under Books
University of Minnesota
Students passing by one of
the campus buildings heard
frantic cries for help coming
from one of the ground floor
windows. After a considerable
amount of excavation had
been done by two of the cam
pus custodians, an embar
rassed psychology professor
was extricated from beneath
his own bookcase.
Colorado State University
Warm spring weather
brought out a rash of frater
nity pranks at Colorado State
University last week. The Chi
Omega's heard a noise, saw
a face at the window and
proceeded to fight it off by
throwing a book through the
window? Their victim was
the Sig Ep College Days
float dummy. Earlier that
night, police officers caught
ten fraternity men attempt
ing to "tee-pee" anything in
Fort Collins that would hold
the paper.
Texas A&M
Texas A&M undergraduate
candidates for degrees were
warned by the Academic
Council that they are re
quired to attend all scheduled
classes during the period
May 20-24: The announcement
emphasized that any unauth
orized absence during that
period will be sufficient cause
to withhold the degree at the
commencement exercises.
State University of Iowa
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fra
ternity received a new pledge
after'Easter vacation when
Ron Anderson brought back
an 18 -inch baby aligator
from Florida. The alligator
was accepted pretty well
when he first arrived, but af

off and the smell stayed, re

Rhodes Scholars
Only 22 other institutions in
the nation have furnished
more Rhodes Scholars for Ox

versity of Nebraska.
Seventeen University stu

Rhodes Scholars since the in
auguration of the program in

Only one other member of

saying "the gator must

State.
Savannah State College
Three hundred and fourty
students withdrew from the
school in protest of an ad
ministration decision not to re
new the contract of one of
the professors. Five hundred
more applications for with
drawal are pending, accord
ing to the registrars office.
Only 200 of the school's 1200
students were even attending
classes.
The argument over the pro
fessor's dismissal apparently
stemmed from the fact that
he was attempting to inte
grate white students into the
all-Negro college.
Iowa State University
The president of the stu
dent body at Iowa State has
resigned his position. He
termed his reason for resign
ing as a "problem of goal
conflict." It was reported
that scholastic difficulties
played an important part in
his decision.- The resigning
president stated that it was
necessary for him to deter
mine where his values lie,
and to act in accordance
with those values..
