The death of President John
Kennedy was followed by a
universal sense of tragedy
and loss in Mexico, according
to Susie Rutter, a University
junior who re-
cently re
turned from
one semester
as an ex
change stu
dent at El Co
legio de Mex
ico in Mexico
City.
Miss Rut
ter, who went
to Mexico on
a scholarship
the Stats Department in co
operation with the University
and El Colegio, added that
Mexican television audiences
followed the procedings of the
President's death and funeral
much the same as their North
American neighbors.
Regular programming was
postponed and the network
news reports were translated
into Spanish. A three day
mourning period was held in
honor of the President
"Many Mexicans felt that
President Kennedy's election
would bring about the end o
the problems between Mexico
and the United States with the
Alliance for Progress," said
Miss Rutter. "Many Con
gressmen are in favor of a re
duction in foreign aid and it
is a wide feeling now in Mexi
co that there is no one to
speak in favor of funds for
the Alliance."
Miss Rutter said that El Co
legio,, which could be called
the "exclusive educational
group in Mexico," is actually
a graduate school. The stu
dents are from all over Latin
America and their educations
are financed primarily by
scholarships from their gov
ernments or from the Organ
ization of American States
(OAS).
"One thing that I'd like to
emphasize," she told the
DAILY NEBRASKAN, "is the
students' attitude toward their
studies. They seem much
more interested and serious
about them. There are no so
cial activities there."
She explained that because
most of the students are on
scholarships, they have to
earn good grade, making a
great deal of competi
tion among the students.
Student housing as known in
the United States is unknown
at El Colegio. Miss Rutter
said that she lived with a
Mexican family.
"Our host is a professor at
the Mexico City Polytechnic
Institute who does research
work in seismology on a
grant from the government.
His wife is a mathematics
teacher.
He had studied at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and
(-State Educator
ill Speak Here
Professor Charles Bracken,
assistant director of the Kan
sas State University Coopera
tive program, in teacher edu
cation, will be at the Univer
sity Monday to talk to juniors
and seniors interested in pre
paring for a master's degree
in education leading to teach
er certification.
Interested students should
contact Assistant Dean Gene
Hardy in 311 Burnett on Uni
versity extension 2443 to ar
range a meeting with Profes
sor Bracken.
The program is designed
for superior college students
who did not prepare profes
sionally for teacher certifica
tion as undergraduates and
provides professional courses,
advanced study in the candi
date's special field and care
fully supervised teaching ex
perience. A folder describing the
course says participation will
be limited to 25 liberal arts
graduates with a grade aver
age of at least B. Preference
will be given to those with a
high degree of motivation and
promise; strong graduates
from as many different col
leges and universities as pos
sible; and those whose under
graduate education is in such
critical areas as English, for
eign languages, mathematics
and science.
The curriculum provides an
intensive program In profes
sional education including one
semester of .full time teach
ing made possible by a large
number of cooperating Kan
sas high schools.
The program is in its fourth
year of operation.
Engineers' Group
Initiates Ten Men
Ten students in the College
of Engineering and Architec
ture have been initiated to Eta
Kappa Nu, national honorary
electrical engineering society.
They are: Ralph Beisner,
Tom Cobb, Richard Hueschen,
James Linn. Randell McCon
aughey, William Orton, Don
ald Schroeder, Clair Schrodt,
Charles Uerling, and Larry
Wade.
To be eligible for Eta Kap
pa Nu, students must be ma
joring in electrical engineer
ing and must rank in the up
per one-fourth of the junior
class or the upper one-third
of the senior class. Members
are elected on the basis of
scholarship, extra-curricular
activities and outside work,
personality and character, po
tentialities as a future elec
trical engineer, and ratings
of the University faculty.
had lived with an American
family there, and wanted to
do something for American
students. The housing was ar
ranged tnrough the u n i t e d
States Embassy."
Elaborating further on the
comments she has heard in
Mexico concerning the Alli
ance for Progress. Miss Rut-
ter said that many Mexicans
now feel that the United States
has failed, primarily because
Latins did not originally real
ize that the program was
meant to be cooperative rath
er than an aid project.
She said that Latin AmeH.
can trade is suffering from
uommon Market patronlzation
of African colonies and that
the general fee line runs that
the United States should open
itself more to Latin Ameri
can Imports in order to aid
economic and social development
She added, "Some people
have the attitude that if the
United States doesn't offer
foreign aid dollars, they can
find support from the communists."
Asked about her curriculum
at El Colegio, Miss Rutter
said that it included mostly
political science and history.
"One of the Interesting
classes we had." she said,
"was on contemporary Latin
America. We studied six conn
tries and had a teacher from
each country to lecture." In
structors were from all over
the world, including a pro
fessor from Harvard and one
from Oxford.
Because the school was on
the graduate level, Miss Rut
ter said that she felt some
what behind the other stu-
i dents. A great deal of outside
i reading and preparation is re
. quired and she said that often
jshe would go to the school
; in the morning and not leave
until around eight in the eve
ning. The Mexican student has a
; greater interest and is better
(informed about politics and
national events. Miss Rutter
: noted that they discuss these
; issues before the classes start
ed, in contrast to the usual
banter of Nebraska elass
i rooms.
Miss Rutter, a Spanish and
French major at the Universi
ty, said. "I applied for this;
scholarship because the op
portonitv to study a foreign
language where it is spoken
is m it r h hettrr rvivnnrr

guage and the people who

! "It has given me a different

' ing and realization that we
i have not always been right"

Set For TV
The department of elemen
tary education will pioneer in
a close d-circuit television
course in science education
next semester.
Dr. 0. W. Kopp, chairman;
of the department, said plans:
call for a TV recording of a.
semester of lectures and dem-
onstrations for a beginning
college course on teaching sci-
ence to elementary grade stu- j
dents.
Dr. Ward Sims, associate
professor of elementary edu
cation, will teach the course;
in the studios of KUON-TV,'
the University's educational :
television station.
Special laboratory facilities
will be installed in the studios
for demonstrations. The first
class will view the lectures :
live on a TV receiver located i
in another building.
Dr. Kopp said the procedure
allows the University to make
a concentrated effort to pro-'
duce an outstanding program !
under ideal laboratory condi
tions. The tape can be used '

The top 100 scorers in the
Regents' exam will be offered
four-year tuition scholarships
if they choose to attend the
University next fall.
Eldon Teten, director of
scholarships 1 and financial
aids at the University, cau
tioned that the quality of a
high school cannot necessari
ly be determined by its rep
resentation on the All-State
Scholastic Team. Many fac
tors which have nothing to do
with the quality of the school
can influence its number or
lack of All-Staters, such as
size and goals of the school,
native intelligence of the stu
dents, and nature and size of
the community.
The top scorer, 17-year-old
Coy, won first place, in Ne
braska in the National Merit
Examination. He was award
ed a National Science Foun
dation scholarship at Florida
State University in the sum
mer of 1962 where he ranked
in the upper third in mathe
matics camp. Coy also attend
ed the Summer Science Train
ing program in Atmospheric
Physics for High Ability Stu
dents at the University of Ne
vada last summer. He is in
terested in mathematics and
science.
Middleton, 17, is a member
of the National Honor Society.
He plans to study mathemat
ics and zoology.

It's you. princess, when you have the
Jack Winter look. But whoa ...take
a minute to learn about the subject
of stretch. Because once you put
yourself in Jack Winter stretch
pants, you are going to get the eye
test Be darn sure you can pass.
Questions. Should you wear stretch
pants? What kind of figure does it
take? Most all fipures are flattered
by stretch, whether angular, trian
gular, or a figure eight. Even if you
have an hourglass figure where all
the sand has sunk to the bottom,
stretch pants can do q uiok subtract
ing. You won't need a grease job to
slip in. but there's no sag. bag or
bind either. Jack Winter cuts Vni
