Friday, February 21, 1964 The Daily Nebraskan Page S Nebraska 0 y si v The second University banana crop was harvested last week by Hans Bur chardt, a plant propagator and breeder for the University's horticulture department. His banana tree is just a part of a large collection of plants he raises in the greenhouse at the College of Agriculture and Home Economics for teaching botany students about plants and their methods of propagation. The entire banana crop consists of one stalk of 200 bananas. The roots of the tree are already putting np the shoot that will provide a third crop about 15 months from now. The tree is a Cuban Dwarf banana tree because a commercial banana tree would be too big for the greenhouse. Burchrdt Is an expert on bananas. He U ru fQllllCil spent 15 years before World War II in Africa as a horticulturist on plantations and as a botanist for the Berlin Botanical Museum. He has degrees in horticulture from German universities, and is now starting his sixth year with the University. The botanical display is only a part of his work. In addition, he produces plant material that shows up in the fields and yards around the state. Currently he is breeding plants that range from advanced varieties of field beans to new types of chrysanthemums. Among the other exotic, at least for Nebraska, teaching material he has in the greenhouse are a fig tree, a lemon tree, a grapefruit tree, all bearing fruit, plus varieties of tropical flowers and plants. vfTr of Vsl Jr. 11 '1 II VrK-itv t- i tmff.. ym. .V x.J , NEBRASKA'S NEW CROP The second banana crop harvested in Nebraska was taken In by Hans Burchardt and Jean Schultz.

Any student who is a resi dent of Nebraska and whose major subject is administered by the College of Agriculture and Home Economics is eligi ble to receive the scholarship. To qualify, a student must be in the upper third of his class. Financial need will be considered. Dr. E. E. Eldridge, direc tor of resident instruction at the college, said the scholar ship will help to meet "a con crete need for university graduates in agriculture who are interested in merchandis ing agribusiness products, such as agricultural chemi cals." Agricultural technicians are being graduated at a rate sufficient to meet most needs, but those with an agricultural background and training who are interested in selling are extremely rare, he noted. BERKELEY'S DORMS HAVE IT!- 'Anti-Booze' Letter Rouses Parents Students at the University of California at Berkeley were greeted by the happy fortune of an approved hard liquor li cense applicable to student dormitories. Hot on the heels of this re vered reform "came the clam oring of alarmed parents via an "anti-booze" letter circu lated among parents (shocked) of University stu dents. The well-guided missive os tracized the license-granting, terming ft "outrageous and un thinkable in the bedroom area f Berkeley." The Durant Hotel, "nestled among student dormitories," fell under direct fire of these parents, shrouded under the title, U.C. Parents' Commit tee. Nobody at Berkeley seems aware of who forms this com mittee. The letter, widely circulated, also hit at a recent marijuana raid and the disappearance of Judy Williamson, a university coed, claiming such events ex emplified a revolting situation. No one seems willing to lay claim to its authorship, and the letter bad no return ad dress. The Durant Hotel is sued, "no comment" to the situation. Protest in the form of a petition carrying more than 12.000 signatures came from students at Colorado Univer sity, Colorado State College, and Colorado State University against proposed tuition in creases. In-state tuition at CU would be raised 40 from $104 a semester to $142. Out-of-state students would face an in crease of nearly $100 per se mester. Two thousand CU students took part in an ASUC-spon-sored class boycott to attend a rally protesting the proposed tuition bike at which two Colo rado legislators and student and faculty representatives spoke. Names and addresses of Colorado congressmen were listed in the COLORADO DAI LY, and students were urged to write complaining about the upcoming increase. . Governor John Love came under direct condemnation for a "financial blunder" which created the beed for tuition bolstering. Democrats gath ered for this purpose. Meanwhile, in Oregon, $32 term increases in tuition were approved by the State Board of Higher. Education.. The heightened cost will affect four Oregon colleges, bringing tui tion expenses in that state to among the highest in the nation. CLASSIFIED ADS WAXTEDi Female ta Star wttn wMow. break!.

Two Oxford University stu dents, Rory Donellan, 22, and Adam Poynter, 20, engaged in a duel with sabers over Eve lyn Mottson, another Oxford student, last Wednesday. ' The Oxford campus news paper, CHERWELL, said that Poynter had referred to Miss Mottson as "thick and made to her mind and body. Donellan, a law student and an expert swordsman, . then challenged Poynter to a duel. Poynter accepted although he had never handled a sword. The two met at dawn on the lawn of Magdalen College while a medical student stood by as doctor. The highest price, paid au it quite clear he was referring uregon aiaie university, is $332 per semester, and some board members claimed this speaks for "operating luxur ies .. . within the system." The University of California at Berkeley will commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespear's birth this spring through a series of lectures by Sir Tyrone Guthrie, Eric Bentley and Morris Carnov sky. University productions of "Coriolanus" and "The Tem pest" are being performed as well Several other speakers will follow, notably Frank Wadsworth, noted Shake speare scholar at the Univer sity of Pittsburgh, Norman Rabkin of the California En glish department, and actor Morris Carnovsky.

(CPS) The church, state and fraternity life have col lided head on at the Univer sity of Mlaryland. The church ran last. ' The latest in the feud came this week in the form of a denial from university Presi dent Wilson Elkins reject ing accusations that the uni versity has denied its chap lains freedom of speech and action. Bringing the charge on be half of the chaplains was the Maryland Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Un ion (ACLU), headed by Dr. Arthur Stinchcombe, sociol- ERIC SEVAREID Con't. from Page 2 cal student, Emmanuel John Hevi, in a new book, AN AFRICAN STUDENT IN CHINA. Our propaganda services could do worse than to flood African uni versity towns with this volume. By Hevi's figures there were 118 legitimate black African students in China in early 1961. By April of 1962, only 22 re mained and 10 of these were trying forget out. But these were legitimate students. On another level there are all the Africans brought to China and to Czechoslovakia for short courses in propaganda and armed subversion. Mr. He vi, now naturally ex iled from Ghana, issues this warning: "The Communist bloc will soon be flooding the African continent with thou sands of young, energetic Africans, ready to believe that their own countries will be sending up sputniks and spacemen within a few years if only they adopt the Communist system. Be cause Africa has as yet not developed an effective counter-balance to these pro Communist forces is her midst, there is very little resistance to them." Africans have to get it through their heads before it is too late that imperial ists, as Mr. Hevi puts it, "come in all colors: white, yellow, and black; yes, ev ..en black." ogy professor at Baltimore's Johns Hopkins University. ' Behind the charges and de nials was the main victim the Rev. Jesse Meyers, who said he was resigning after 13 years as Presybterian chap lain at the University of Maryland. Tracing the problem to the beginning leads to last Au gust as the new crop of fresh m .1 prepared to begin col lege life near the nation's cap ital. The parents of Presby terian students got an unex pected letter in the mails. It was from the Rev. Mey ers, warning of loosing their sons to the evils of fraternity life. Meyers noted the low moral standards and speculat ed that the depravity was a possible cause of low academ ic standing. Elkins thought Meyers had overstepped his duties. "Irresponsible" was how Elkins branded the chaplain's letter. Also angered was the Mary land Board of Regents, head ed by Charles McCormick. McCormick, a strong sup porter of fraternity life, and other board members went along with Elkins on censur ing Meyers. They also ap proved this policy governing the campus chaplains: "Duties on campus should be limited to serving the re ligious needs of the members of their denominations. "Each of the chaplains should obtain the approval of the executive dean of student life before beginning services on the campus and that the continuance of such service should be at the discretion of the appropriate university au thorities." According to Stinchcombe, who visited the Maryland campus last week, the policy gives the university "the pow er to decide what is reli gion." Elkins didn't see it that way. "The university has ev ery right to expect ethical and responsible conduct from the campus chaplains," he said.
