Man, Eclipse Permanent
A new exhibit, depicting early man looking at an eclipse of the moon, was opened
to the public Sunday at the State Museum, Morrill Hall. Funds for the exhibit were con
tributed by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Behlen of Columbus. Wade Cox, under the direction
of Dr. Edward I. Fry associate professor of physical anthropology and Dr. Schultz
a vertebrate paleontologist, carefully constructed the man to appear similar to the
Asian cave dwellers of Middle Ice Age. Artist Cox first constructed the model from
clay and then cast it in special fiberglass. Museum director, Dr. C. Bertrand Schultz
said the exhibit is part of a new series of displays that will eventually go into a Hall
of Space and Time. This first series represents man's early interest in the sky and
universe.

Cornhusker
Ail-American
The 19G3 Cornhusker re
reived an Ail-American rating
for the fourth year in a row,
according to Mary Jo Mac
Kcnzie, editor.
The rating, given by the
Association of Collegiate

ment in the research sec
tion, said Miss MacKenzie.
Judges also praised the use
of color and good use of ver
tical pictures. They said the
editing was excellent.
The rating was raised 100
points over that received last
year. The Cornhusker is in
the largest yearbook class,
consisting of schools with over
10,000 enrollment. In previous
years they have been in a
class with smaller schools.
The judges described the
book as having a very tail
ored look.
The Daily Nebraskan
earned a first class honor
rating last sercster in the
Associated College Press
(ACP) comparison of college
newspapers.
The paper compiled a total
score of 3,000 points to
achieve its first class (excel
Ient status, along with 11
other college dailys. Points
are awarded on the basis of
quality in coverage, content
and physical appearance of
the newspaper. Four papers
in the 10,000 and over enroll
ment class were rated All
American, the only rank
above first class.
Among the judges' specific
comments was a favorable
note on the paper's reaction
to the charges of former
state senator Ray Simmons
of Fremont that its policies
leaned too far to the left.

Negro Spokesman
Against Violence
By Frank Partsch
Senior Staff Writer
Prathia Hall, a member of
the Student Non-violent Co
ordinating Committee
(SNCC), told a group of Uni
versity students last week that
many southern Negroes are
afraid to register and vote
because of social, economical
and political oppression by
election officials and law offi
cers. Miss Hall said that, in Sel
ma, Ga., about 30 out of
800-900 Negroes have been al
lowed to register and that
people standing in line to
register have been beaten
with electric cattle proddcrs.
In a resume of the work of
the SNCC, Miss Hall listed
Civil Rights legislation, more
voter registration and educa
tion of the voters to pass
literacy tests as the main
goals of the organization.
"Many times, out of fear,
the people slam their doors
In our faces," she said, "and
when a man finally walks out
of his 'shotgun house' (so
called because of its poor con
dition) he knows that he is
risking the loss of that house,
his job and maybe even his
life."
Many cases of racial injus
tices, according to Miss Hall,
have never made the press.
She cited many examples of
murders, beatings, and un
lawful arrests that she and
other members of the com
mittee have witnessed which
were never reported. Many of
these crimes were in retalia
tion against the Negro's at
tempts to register.
SNCC, indicated Miss Hall,
is composed of students who
give a year of more from
their educations to help pro
vide a non-violent channel
by which oppressed Negores
can gain rights which have
been withheld from them.
Although their work is pri
marily in the South, Mill
Hall admitted that there are
racial problems in the North
and East as well, and that
her visit to Lincoln is to cam
paign for civil rights legisla
tion support.
SNCC has been attacked by
segregationists who call them
radicals and communistic,
says Miss Hall.
In answer to these charges,
she said, "Communist? What
is more American than the
right to vote? I don't need
the Kremlin to tell me that
-I don't like to see a man beat
en because he wants to vote."

Journalist Speaks
On Racial Issue
Thomas R. Curran, vice
president and general Euro
pean manager of United Press
International in London, told
journalism students Tuesday,
"The British are becoming
much more tolerant of the
U.S. racial problem."
Curran, a former NU stu
dent himself, went on to say
that "London has been having
similar troubles of its own,
particularly with Jamaican
immigrants who have come to
London in search of jobs and
were unable to find them."
When questioned on British
feelings toward the Negro
drive for equality, Curran said
Londoners believe that Ne
groes are "certainly entitled
to it."
The London newsman also
commented on Africa's , trou

Farm Expert
Speaks Here
East German farm produc
tion under the drive for Com
munist collectivization has fal
len under that of West Ger
many since World War II, a
German farm expert said
here yesterday.
The speaker was Dr. Peter
M. Friedheim, manager of the
Farmers Association of West
Berlin. He was a farm man
ager in the East German area
before the war, and for a time
also under the Communists.
Some reasons that ttiie area
now in East Germany, once
more porductive than the West
German area, has fallen be
hind in farm production, he
said, arc:
The drive for collectivizing
the farms has taken away
much of the incentive from
the farmers.
Agriculture cannot be
planned, because it is an or
ganic part of the economy
with too many uncontrollable
factors.
Farm production in the
Communist countries will in
crease, he predicted, if for no
other reason than because it
is now so low it has no place
to go but up.
