MKvVZri Roberto Esquenazi-
'"HWayo Professor
Linus
Burr Smith, Dick Weill, Sue
Hovik, David Smith, and
Maureen Frolik have been
nominated for Outstanding
Nebraskan. Two winners,
"one faculty member "a n d
one student, will be an
nounced at the Outstanding
Nebraskan Awards Banquet
this Friday.
Esquenazi has served
the University for three
years, and has been recent
ly named as the head of
the romance language de
partment, according to the
letter that nominated him.
"This man has brought the
world, as well as Latin
America, to the University.
His constant reminders that
Lincoln, Nebraska, is not
the world and that the world
will need the help of today's
college students, has given
ambition and insight to
many."
The letter said that
Esquenazi is not only a
great educator but a noted
journalist. Formerly from
Cuba, he has served on the
Board of Editors of the
Spanish edition of LIFE
MAGAZINE, as a United
Nations newspaper corres
pondent, and as a worker
for the Organization of
American States.
During World War II, the
letter states, Esquenazi
took part in the invasion of
France as a sergeant in the
U.S. Army paratroopers.
Before coming to the Uni
versity he served as a full
professor at Columbia Uni
versity. When asked why he
came to the University, Es
quenazi said that he came
here because the people in
Nebraska didn't know or
care much about Latin
America. Since he has
come to the University, the
letter says, he has made the
Spanish division of the Ro
mance Language Depart
ment one of the best in the
nation. Nebraska is the on
ly state in the country that
is able to participate in an
exchange student program
with Mexico that is support
ed by the U.S. State Depart
ment. "Because of his devotion,
Inspiration and success as a
teacher, his great purpose
to create understanding
among the Americas and his
success as a journalist and
worker for inter-American
well-being, I nominate Dr.
Roberto Esquenazi-Mayo for
Outstanding Nebraskan,"
the lettt? said.
Smith, head of the depart
ment of architecture, has
served the University
for the past thirty years as
the first and only head of
the Department of Archi
tecture, according to the let
ter nominating him.
"Since 1934, with few stu
dents and meager facili
ties, he has led the growth
of the architectural depart-
ment to one which, through
his efforts, has an enroll
ment of 250 students, and is
recognized nationally as one
of the top architectural
schools in the nation" says
the letter.
The letter states that
Smith has served actively
on t h e following commit
tees, locally and nationally
during his careers scholas
tic honors committee,
(chairman) committee on
graduate study, course of
study committee, Society
for the Promotion of Archi
tectural Education, (two
term president); Nebraska
advisory defense commit
tee, and many others.
"To further exemplify his
interest as an educator, he
will continue as an instruc
tor after his forced retire
ment as head of the depart
ment of architecture by the
University," the letter says.
"The students of the depart
ment recently honored him
by presenting to him
a plaque whicn bears the
following:
"To Linus Burr Smith
"A DISCIPLE OF EXCEL
L E N C E, AN INSPIRING
TEACHER, A CREATIVE
ARTIST, AN INCISIVE
SCHOLAR, AND AN UN
USUALLY G I F T E D UN
DERSTANDER OF HIS
FELLOWMAN WHOSE
MINDS AND DIGNITY HE
HAS SERVED SO WELL
FOR 30 YEARS AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRAS
KA." "I would like to nominate
one of the most articulate
members of the University
community Richard Weill,
an accounting major. II i s
talent for self expression
complements his in
telligence, dedication, and
practicality," the letter of
nomination says.
Weill is a member of Phi
Eta Sigma, a Gold Key,
Delta Sigma Rho, Beta
Gamma Sigma, Corn Cobs,
and vice-president of Stu
dent Council, according to
the letter."
"It is Weill's dedication
to both of the communities
with which he is associated
that has inspried his service
to the National Conference
on Christians and Jews and
his teaching at the Tifereth
Israel Synagogue. These ac
tivities represent time that
he has with his enormous
campus work load his
four years given to debate
squad, his enthusiasm for
Corn Cobs, and his leader
ship as vice-president of
Student Council.
"Underlying Dick's intelli
gence and dedication is his
talent as an administrator.
Possibly no other tribute to
his practicality Is more ele
gant than his serving as
treasurer of six organiza
tions. Not only does h i s
scholastic record prove that
he understands the proper
place of organizations, but
his healthy attitude toward
necessary paperwork is a
source of amusement to all
his associates."
"At the Regents Scholar
ship Seminar last Saturday,
Dick spoke to and inspired
a group of campus leaders
for future years. In so do
ing he took '.. . the ir
retrievable opportunity of
serving the young'."
"In nominating Sue Hovik
for Outstanding Nebraskan,
we feel that this is an honor
she more than deserves.
The basis for selection for
Outstanding Nebraskan is,
of course, an outstanding
person, and Sue's record of
achievement places her in
this category," says the let
ter of nomination.
According to the letter
Sue has worked as Y-Teen
adviser, copy editor, staff
writer, and news editor for
the DAILY NEBRASKAN,
secretary of Y.W.C.A., mid
west representative for The
ta Sigma Phi, journalism
honorary, and the Panhel
lenic Council.
"As each proceeding year
brought recognition and ap
preciation for Sue's efforts,
her senior year brought her
the honor of being a finalist
for May Queen. Sue's scho
lastic attainments also con
tinued in her senior year,
for she was selected as a
member of Kappa Tau Al
pha, journalism scholastic
honorary."
"Sue's enthusiasm to
wards whatever she's doing
has always been unending.
Her record of service is out
standing and, for these rea
sons, we feel that she de
serves the honor of being
selected Outstanding Ne
braskan." "It It my sincere plea
sure to place in nomination
for the Outstanding Nebras
kan award, David Smith. I
am assured that his past
actions and his love for Ne
braska evidence his unques
tionable credentials for the
award.", says his letter of
nomination.
"On the campus, Smith
has exhibited qualities of
excellence and dedicated
leadership. He served as
rush chairman and v i c e
president of the Inter-F r a
ternity Council. Time after
time his humor and west
ern casualness contributed
to the effective decisions.
He was a member and a
holdover member of S t u
dent Council and as such,
undertook, planned and ex
ecuted the first masters pro
gram at the University of
Nebraska. In many discus
sions with the chancellor
and the University admin
istrators, he established the
program as a valuable and
rewarding undertaking for
the University.
"Smith's achievem e n t s
are significant and varied.
He has worked conscientious
ly and with unparalleled
energy to maintain the goals
of his University and the
lore of his state. A conver
sation with him seldom
lacks a bit of Nebraska leg
end or a typically Western
joke. Whether he is strum
ming his guitar, captivating
fellow students With his in
terest in their problems or
inspiring interest and action
for his University and state,
Smith Is certainly an Out
standing Nebraskan".

Will Join
For Party
New Pledges
Fall Honorees
By Judi Peterson
Junior Staff Writer
The Student Union will be
taken over by all the Greek
houses and their new pledge
classes next fall for a. get-together
the Monday evening
the girls get their bids.
The idea for this all-Greek
party was developed by Pan
hellenic Council as an answer
to the yearly problem of en
tertaining new pledge class
es at the end of Rush Week.
The delegates and presidents
agreed that freshmen often
get a poor impression of the
University from the house
parties and woodsies they at
tend the evening after pledg
ing. The Council decided that
one well-planned party would
give freshmen the best im
pression. Tentative plans are for a
fast-tempoed combo in the
ballroom, a slower-tempoed
combo in the Pan American
room, a hootenanny in the
Crib and films in the auditor
ium, j
In the middle of the eve
ning there will be a yell-out
when each sorority pledge
class will be introduced. Pan
hellenic Council members said
that they hope all fraternity
and sorority members will
support their pledges.
Panhellenic will send out
letters this summer to lega
cies, alumni and others con
cerned to tell them that leg
acies will be de-emphasized
during Rush Week. Legacies
to a sorority are girls whose
mothers, sisters or grand
mothers belong to that soror
ity. The Council members said
that it would be much easier
for Panhellenic to tell this to
the people involved than for
the individual sorority to do
so. This letter will also take
the pressure off rush chair
men. Chi Phi Charter
Given At Banquet
Saturday Evening
The Chi Phi fraternity re
ceived its charter Saturday
at a banquet at the Univer
sity Club. This makes the
24th fraternity at the Univer
sity. The charter was pre
sented to Chi Phi president
Gary Fricke along with a
memorial plaque from the
alums of the earlier Alpha
Theta Chi fraternity which
was disbanded at the Univer
sity in 1942.
Before Chi Phi could re
ceive its charter, it had to
meet IFC regulations which
stated it had to have a colony
for at least two semesters and
a membership of at least 30
men. Also the house avrr.ge
had to be at least a 5.0 dur
ing these two semesters i
Sam Samuelson received a
$25 scholarship for having the
highest pledge average.
After the banquet there was
a social hour at the Chi Phi
house followed by the Chi
Phi formal.
Pearse Gets $19,000
Warren Pearse, M.D., as
sociate professor and chair
man of the department of ob
stetrics and gynecology and
assistant dean at the Univer
sity of Medicine, has received
a $19,000 grant from the Divi
sion of Maternal and Child
Health, Nebraska State De
partment of Health.
The grant, which went into
effect May 1, will be used for
the prevention of mental re
tardation by providing highly
concentrated pre-natal care to
high risk mothers, according
to Pearse.
Nursing and dietetics per
sonnel will be used in carry
ing out the grant in addition
to the department of obstet
rics and gynecology.

Morrison told the DAILY

former Ag College faculty

his criticism at State Direct

Nebraska on "highly ques

"The legislature vested re

Safety Campaign
Governor Unveils Students' Billboard
The initial poster in a statewide safe
ty program was unveiled yesterday at
the corner of 29th and the Cornnhusker
Highway. This program, , which uses as
its theme, "Don't make Highways Die
ways," was done entirely by Albert
Book's Advertising 158 class.
The class actually produced the first
billboard. The space was donated by the
Stoner System. An estimated 100 posters
will be placed throughout the state.
Governor Frank Morrison was the
guest speaker at the ceremonies. He
pulled the string which unveiled the poster.

that unless Director Finigan
was guilty of misusing funds
or displaying "lack of discre

"The people who are back

Agriculture and the overall
area of research and hurting
it bad," Morrison said.
According to Morrison
funds were spent outside the

the University has facilities
for production research, but
lacks industrial capabilities.
The University did not
want this particular project in
the first place, nor did they
ask for "a penny of budget
money" in this area.
Mistakes in research are
natural and inherent in such
programs, Morrison said. He
said the University Ag College
had "fumbled the ball" too
where research was involved
because it is like "probing
