write journalist, was the guest
speaker. In his speech, Mc
Cleery spoke of his exper
ience in journalism. He told
stories of his life and ex
plained how these experiences
helped him later in his work.
McCleery said he felt that
journalists are concerned with
the why of things. The dif
ference between playwrites
and reporters is that day
writes look at the inner man
while the latter looks at the
outer man.
McCleery, a graduate of the
University was president of
Innocents and editor of the
DAILY NEBRASKAN. He
wrote three musical comedies
that' were presented by Kos
metKlub. After graduation McCleery
worked on the OMAHA

Vreeland Winners Nygren,
Kooser, Sheffel Get $1,000
Three University students
will be awarded $1,000 in
prize money at the annual
Vreeland Scholarship Awards
presentation Friday afternoon
in the Sheldon Art Gallery.
John Nygren will receive
the $400 award in art. The
$300 award in English will go
to T e d Kooser, and the $300
music award will go to Ken
neth Scheffel.
The prize money is made
available each year to stu
dents majoring in English,
art and music who have
shown "exceptional creative
ability." The money repre
sents a bequest of the late
Francis William Vreeland, a
native Nebraska artist. A
part of the Vreeland bequest
consisted of paintings, sculp
ture, drawings and other
works of art by Vreeland
from hit collection.
A nephew of the d o n o r,
Calvin Smalley of Holly
wood, Calif, will present the
awards at the program which
begins at 2:30 p.m. Friday in
the Sheldon Gallery.
During the program, the
winning musical composition
by Scheffel will be performed
by G wen Waldo and Prof.
Thomas Fritz. Selections from
the winning poetry by Koo
ser will be read and ceramics
and art work by Nygren
will be on display. Prof. Eud-

Dr. Lawrence Crowe, Bill
Buckley and Gary Pokorny
have been nominated as Out
standing Nebraskans. Nom
inations will be accepted in
the DAILY NEBRASKAN of
fice, 51 Studant Unton. until
5 p.m. today, and the win
ners, one faculty mcm'icr
and one student, will bs an
nounced at a luncheon Fri
day. Crowe, who is professoi of
dairy husbandry, has been on
the University faculty for 39
years, according to the letter
which nominated him for the
honor. "During this time be
has served the University in
many capacities, such as
teaching, research, chairman
of various commutes. in"iri
r.nd senior division adviser,
and adviser for several cam
pus organizations."
His "concern for student
well-being" has been ex
pressed through the accomp
lishments which he has made
as chairman of the Ag Col
lege Scholarship. Student Af
fairs, loans and curriculum,
junior division advisory
board and student summer
employment committees.
"Crowe considers teaching,
along with student activities,
his most important responsi
bility," the letter continued.
"He uses the latest techni
ques of presentation and con
stantly updates his courses,
adding new subject matter
obtained from recent re
search. In 1958 he received the
Distinguished Teaching
Award in recogniton of his
outstanding ability in the field
of teaching."
Another interest close to
the nominee is helping for
eign students. He served as
chairman of the University
delegation in 1959-61, which
was instrumental in the de
velopment of Ataturk Univer
sity in Turkey.
"Crowe has been an active
member and officer of Gam
ma Sigma Delta, honor so
ciety of agriculture and has
been adviser to Alpha Zeta,
Alpha Phi Omega, Alpha
Gamma Sigma, Ag Exec
Board and YMCA."
"Although actively inter
ested in many campus or
ganizations and groups,
Crowe's special interest for
many years has been the
Varsity Dairy Club. He has
served as adviser for more
than a quarter of a century
and has been instrumental
in the function and growth of
the organization."
"The club was awarded sec
ond place in the United Staes
ley Bailey, department
of
English, will preside.
Nygren, junior in art. is in
terested in sculpture and cera
mics and plans a career in
teaching and art. His great
grandfather, a professional ar
tist and bugler in the Civil
War, kept a diary filled
with sketches of Civil War
scenes which is a prized
possession of the family.
Scheffel won the music
award with his composition
entitled: "Three Songs from
Baudelaire." He was granted
a bachelor's degree from
the University in 1962. He is
currently teaching beginning
music theory and expects to
receive a master's degree
in August. Scheffel was
awarded a plaque by the de
partment of music in 1958
for his composition entitled
"Piece for Cello and Piano."
He has been a member of
the Madrigals, University
Singers, and orchestra and
has sung in seven operas and
with the Lincoln Symphony.
Kooser, a graduate reading
assistant in English, is a 1962
graduate of Iowa State Col
lege. He taught school one
year at Madrid, la. before
coming to the University. He
edited a literary magazine at
Iowa State and was active in
a writing group. Kooser plans
a career in college teaching
of Englisii and writing of
poetry.
an
adviser he is
because his en
outstanding
couragement and enthusiasm
instiils in the members the
desire to put forth extra ef
fort in support of the organiza
tions activities."
"In recognition of his out
standing ability as a student
adviser, Crowe has been
sought after as an adviser for
students in other depart
ments. . Perhaps his greatest
value as an adviser is the in
spiration he gives his stu
dents." "He has maintained a
hearty laugh and a sense of
humor, but at no time has he
been willing to sacrifice prin
ciple for the sake of the wide
spread popularity he has
gained."
The letter concluded "I be
lieve everyone who knows him
will label him outstanding in
every endeavor in whicli he
participates."
The letter nominating Buck
ley attributed to him the qual
ity of being able to remain
close to his friends and
acquaintances, while contrib
uting a great deal to the Uni
versity. "Such a combination
of talents is indeed rare;
whoever has both will not on
ly be an outstanding Nebras
kan, but an outstanding
man."
"Buckley has shown us that
he has all the qualifications
and attributes that such an
outstanding man should
have."
Buckley was vice president
of Phi Eta Sigma, member
of Student Council, Young
Republican Executive Com
mittee, Interfraternity Coun
cil (IFC) secretary and presi
dent, Eligible Bachelor final
ist, president of Innocents So
ciety, president of Sigma Nu
and an outstanding member
of Navy ROTC.
"As pledge trainer and la
ter president of Sigma Nu,
Buckley introduced many far
reaching mature innovations.
He led the change from 'old
style' pledge training to a
modern one consistant with
human dignity and high edu
cational goals."
"As a true leader, he spread
responsibility to all which he
worked his 'ideas reform'.
Aware of our responsibilities
to the community, he initi
ated a community service pro
gram which has twice won
the G. B. Schultz award for
public service."
"IFC will not soon forget
the excellent leadership Buck
ley supplied them. He worked
to bring IFC closer in ideas,
goals and spirit. The effec
tiveness of this work may be
judged by the number of fra
ternities which have elimi
nated 'Hell Week.'
"His accomplishments were
many, but was still a fra
ternity brother and-4i friend.
He always had time to coun
sel a pledge, say 'hello' to a
friend, and help people with
problems. Through all his suc
cesses he has never stopped
being a true and loyal friend."

No Advance Consultation Held
Ag Cutbacks Cause Faculty
E. F. Frolik, dean of the
College of Agriculture, said
he had no advance consul
tation with State Agricul
ture Director Pearle Fini
gan about cancellation of
Ag College projects aimed at
finding new uses for farm
products.
According to Frolik, the
cancellation of some $249,
000 of research was made
Sept. 3 or 4, 1963, and the
termination at the end of
1964 was not known to the
University until Dec. 20,
1963 informally, and Jan. 6,
1964 formally.
He said the cutbacks
caused the University to
lose two faculty members,
one to the Rockefeller Foun
dation, another to a castor
oil company. Also affected
were seven technicians and
four other faculty positions.
Earlier, Finigan had been
quoted as saying Frolik is

Frolik, a member of the
Agriculture Research Prod

said he was out of the coun
try in September, and that
no minutes from the com
mittee meeting had been
mailed to him of the action
until last Friday.
Finlgan's statement con
cerning Frolik agreeing to
the cancellation is based on
minutes of a committee
meeting on Jan. 8, 1964
after the cancellation deci
sion had been made.
The minutes read: "The

they felt that their research

created an unprecedented in

According to Frolik, his
phrase "he didn't know
what else could be done"
referred to the University's
having to take the cutback,
not to the Ag Department
having to initiate the cut
back. Frolik added that he also
remembered saying that
"We are at the mercy of
the granting agency (State
Agriculture Departm e n t)
and that the department
was within its rights to can
cel the University projects
if it chose to do so."
Dr. Herbert Kramer, di
rector of the experiment
station, said that the cut
back had a damaging im

tinuity." "Most important, he h a s
constantly campaigned
against prejudice and misun
derstanding on the part of

and Greek."
"Whether or not Pokorny
receives the DAILY NEBRAS
KAN honor, the many people
who have benefited from his
teaching skill, his administra
tive ability, his personal en
couragement and his far
sighted thinking coupled with
timely action, regard him as
the outstanding Nebraskan."
"Although the effects of the
ideas he stands for may never
be traced directly to him, Po

he has known and the Uni
versity at large will be a posi
tive influence for years to
come."
