The presence of a woman among the famous Univer sity graduates should be more interesting to women's liv ing units, explained John Lydick, masters committee chair man. For the same reason, wives of the Masters have also been invited to return to the University. Dr. Leverton has been a Fulbright professor of nutri tion to the Philippines, U.S. delegate to the international rice committee in Burma, delegate to the nutrition com mittee for south and east Asia in Burma, chief of the human nutrition research branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Library, professor of nutrition at the Uni versity, assistant dean of home economics at Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College and chairman of the Nebraska State Nutrition Committee for four years. The University honored her with an honorary degree in 1961. She received her B.S. degree from the University, her M.A. from the University of Arizona and her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, and is a member of sev eral professional organizations including Sigma Xi, Iota Sigma Phi, Sigma Epsilon and Omicron Nu. She received the Borden Homemaking Award in 1942 and 1953.

Masters was further reduced yes terday with the announcement that Herbert Brownell Jr. will be unable to attend because of sickness in the family. Allen Sutherland was slightly injured last week, and sub sequently announced that he would be prevented from coming to Nebraska. Brownell, who served as campaign manager for Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's presidential victory in 1952, was ap pointed Attorney General in 1953. Prior to that time he had been National Republican chairman. While at the University, Brownell was associated with a number of or ganizations, including Kosmet Klub and the Innocents So ciety, and was editor of the DAILY NEBRASKAN.

Wood, Nelson Chosen For Dr. Rodney Wood and Den nis Nelson, University facul ty members, have been named to honorary membership in Pi Tau Sigma, national me chanical engineering honor ary. Wood, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, has been on the staff since 1962. He is a member of Phi Lamb da Upsilon chemistry honor ary, and is an associate mem ber of Sigma XI, national Binoii Cozier credits his happi ness to two sources: a sense of accomplishment and ser vice to one's fellow men. "People with physical handicaps should face their problems and master them. They will never solve them by running from them," Co zier advised.

Juniors and senior in me (iPWllM WmM0MmlmC3f Religion, Vol. 77, No. 92 (HloDdlver Student Council President Dennis Christie yesterday urged all Council juniors planning to run for holdover member positions this spring to become familiar with the deficiencies in the present constitution and the possibil ities of improving the system of Council representation. Council also passed a ser ies of organizational changes in its by-laws and a motion by Bobby Kotecha recom mending that the Central Reserve Reading Room of Love Memorial Library be kept open until 10:50 p.m. rather than 9 p.m. as it is now. Christie told the Council that two key Issues which will determine the success or fail ure of the Council next year are representation and stu dent welfare. "Some compri mise will have to be made between the campus factions if Council is going to be a rep resentative body," he said. "Many students have no idea of what the Council is doing to help them," he said, speaking about the problem of student welfare. He cited student discount cards and the improved registration process as major areas which are un appreciated by the general student body. Wiseman, chairman of the constitutional evaluation com mittee, explained that the by laws had to be clarified to correspond with the recent re organization of the Council constitution to fit the model form required by Council of all campus organizations. Many professors partially base their examinations on books found only in the Cen tral Reserve Reading Room, said Kotecha, and because the room closes so early in the evening, many students are unable to use the books He said that he has received se veral complaints from his constituants about the early closing hour of the room and recommended that it be kept open until 10:50. Nancy Sterner, chairman of the library committee, told the Council that the room is closed early because of the expense in hiring additional help to staff the room. Ko techa answered that he had conferred with library auth orities, and they assured him that they would consider a Council recommendation. Two Masters will be unable to attend the Masters Pro gram for distinguished Uni versity graduates, according to John Lydick, masters com mittee chairman. Allen Suth erland was injured in a mi nor accident last week and Herbert Brownell, Jr. cannot participate because of family health reasons.

The eight stu dents named to membership are Gary Brobst, Dwaine Francis, Wayne Howlett, Del bert Johannsen, Richard Kla bunde, John Lorenz, Joseph Rietsch, and Eugene Soren-sen. The Daily Changes Face plans the committee is follow ing is publicizing the pro gram. Sen. Marvin Stromcr, who was prevented from conduct ing a Monday forum on the state's liquor laws because of health, will not reschedule the forum because of poor atten dance at the Monday session, according to Tom Kort, pub lic issues chairman. Glenn Korff, is presenting his final report on the asso ciates program, recommend ed that associates be kept busier with speakers and for ums on Council issues He al so indicated that Council should define its responsibil ity to the associates who run for Council positions in t h e spring. The plans of the student welfare committee to recom mend that compulsory mili tary training be abolished will wait until action is taken in Washington on a bill propos ing a different means of se lecting and training officers, said Bob Kerry, chairman on the committee. Kerry said that conferences with heads of the military departments had given the committee several reasons justifying mandatory ROTC, the most important of which was the fact that the services currently have no better way to fill their officer ranks. Kerrv continued that if the bill, which substitutes a sum mer camp for basic ROTC in the freshman and sophomore years, were defeated, tne com mittee would recommend that a petition be circulated call ing for one compulsory year of basic ROTC followed Dy an elective year of basic ROTC Council Seeks Petitioners Student Council has asked that any student who is cur rently affected by the Lincoln City Council's redefinition of family living contact the Stu dent Council office, 232 Stu dent Union, and leave their names. The Student Welfare Com mittee is planning to petition the City Council in opposition to the ruling. Student support in this matter would greatly aid the committee's effort, ac cording to Bob Kerrey. Kerrey said that he h a s talked to Citv Attorney Ralph Nelson's secretary and to an assistant chief of police who both noted that there were not a large volume of complaints on file. The officer also noted that the City Council had not consulted the police depart ment before the ruling was made. The new ruling forbids groups of three or more un related students to live in many Lincoln residential areas. State President Speaks To YRs In Union Tonjght Lowell Hummell, newly elected chairman of the Ne braska Federation of Young Republicans (YRs) will speak at the YR meeting tonight at 7 in 235 Union. "I'd like to encourage all students to attend due to the fact that our speaker will give the Republicans the first chance to find out the policies and program that YRs will undertake this year," said Bill Harding, president of the University YR chapter. This will be the first appearance Hummell has made since he was elected chairman at the YR's state convention last Sunday. Hummell is a former Mar ine Corps officer and operates a farm near Fairbury. He is a past National Commit teeman and past chairman of the national agriculture com mittee of the YR Federation. Nebraskan New Council si irn did) safe r before the advanced program is entered. Christie asked Council members to take a special in terest in the Publications Board elections and inter views next week. He ex plained that the Pub Board can make recommendations to the DAILY NEBRASKAN, and, through a careful exam Departing Teachers List Reasons For Leafing By Priscilla Mullins Junior Staff Writer Three of the University instructors who have recently resigned to take positions elsewhere have given to the DAILY NEBRASKAN their reasons for leaving the University. Dr. Robert Koehl, professor of history who is leaving for the University of Wisconsin, cited the major reason for his change as wanting to partici pate in the field of interna tional education. He said Wis consin has an active program in this field. He will also be working with the program of comparative history. Koehl said he will gain a small fi nancial advantage in the change. Keith Blackledge, Univer sity journalism instructor who is leaving for the DAYTON JOURNAL HERALD, said "It was an opportunity to do the kind of work I like to do, and I felt I couldn't pass it up." Blackledge will be assistant to the editor of the HERALD, Dr. Clyde Hyde, professor and chairman of the electrical engineering department who is leaving to accept a position in biomedical electronics with the International Business Machines (IBM) in Rochester, Minnesota, listed his reason for leaving as "a combina tion of financial and research opportunities." He said he will have opportunities in differ ent kinds of research than he is able to do at the University due to lack of time and fa cilities. Hyde said he debated his leaving very much, and wondered if his reason might be that ' the grass looks greener on the other side," Friday Deadline Set For Advisory Board Students desiring to run in the Business Administration student advisory board elec tions must register by 4 p.m. tomorrow in 210 Social Sci ence.

" - W X f 9 y V 't i S I i 1 X ill t Miss Groteluschen Science Priests Draws Sparse Crowd Dr. William Pollard, execu tive director of the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies pnd an ordained priest in the Episcopal Church, noted two widespread notions about the differences between science and religion and discussed two valid contrasts between the subjects at an aU-univer-sity convocation yesterday. "To have only science is to be completely imprisoned in the natural. Christianity has revealed to us insights into the structure of supernature," said Pollard. He defined science as being exclusively concerned with the study of nature and the natural order, while superna ture is that which is trans cendent to space and time. The atomic-age priest ad dressed a sparsely filled Coli seum at the 10:30 a.m. con vocation sponsored by the Un ion talks and topics commit tee. To those who say that any one can demonstrate the truths of science to their own satisfaction, but the truths of religion must be taken on faith. Pollard answered that only those who become deeply involved in a scientific activi ty can satisfactorily prove to themselves scientific truths. "One must commit a seg ment of his life to the enter prise and incorporate himself into the community that knows what physics, for ex ample, really is. The only peo ple who can demonstrate the truths of physics are physi cists members outside of that community have to take these truths on faith." "People must be drawn by a similar process into the church. It is a process of in corporating oneself into the human community which con tains characteristic views of reality and man's place in it." "The onlv people who can know if Christianity is true are those who are fully knowl edgeable -and committed Christians," Pollard stated. In discussing the false the ory that science is public and religion is private, Pollard said this is a twentieth cen tury phenomena. "Both science and religion have sub jective, private elements, but thev have aspects of reality that are public." The fact that Christianity is practiced and expressed privately has noth ing to do with its status of reality, he continued. A valid contrast is that science is concerned with find ing information about nature, while Christianity Is con- cerned with all aspects of re- ality not in nature. "There a whole structure of an in visible and unseen world that supernature which tran scends space and time," roi lard noted. Science is concerned with universal objects which can be made to happen at any place or time, while Christi anity is concerned with sin gular and unique events in history, he said, citing the second contrast between the two. "Science cannot be a part of history its events must be repeatable. Christian events took place within the natural order, but they are not predictable in any scien tific sense." "The whole domain of re ligious reality Is compliment, ary to the domain of reality with which science Is con cerned." "We can think of superna ture as being perpendicular tn timp and nature. Eternity bears the same relationship to every moment of time. "Why should we think our three-dimensional world is all that exists to reality?," asked Pollard. "The whole relation ship between natural and su pernatural reality reveals it self in the great turning pointi in history when innummer able causal sequences com bine to cause happenings of the most tremendous signifi cance. Then we realize the reality of Divine providence." Program Shows India The India Association win present its Spring Cultural Program Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m. in the Student Un ion ballroom.
