Eater's Note Marilyn
Hoegeneyer, as a Student

spent six weeks in

It's a little like 14th Street
if you can imagine 14th
twice as wide, lined with
trees, with sidewalk cafes and
. expresso houses stretching
out to the curb.
It's a lot like 14th Street
because Leopold Strassee in
Munich, West Germany, runs
right through the heart of the
Latin Quarter right between
the buildings that compose the
University of Munich. -
On weekdays, in the rush
hour, cars flash by, honking
and "beating" the traffic
lights with the usual German
dexterity. The visible stu
dents glibly ignore the bustle
of a main strassee that just
happens to run through the
center of t h e 1 r University
and on weekends they desert
the area for holiday centers,
beaches and lakesides.
' It is on week nights that
the atmosphere changes.
About 7:30 or 8:00 p.m. the
transformation begins. As the
street lights blink on, students
begin to gather in the side
walk cafes and expresso
houses students of art, engi
neering, music or medicine
men with beards, horn
rimmed glasses and narrow
pointed shoes girls with tight
black stretch pants, big slop
J.une Graduates Migrate
Study Shows Low
Over half of the Universi
ty's June graduates who step
ped from commencement into
employment took jobs in Ne
braska at a median salary
level of $400-$449 per month,
or about $50 under that of
ineir classmates wno mi
grated.
The survey of post-gradua-tion
plans was made by the
'University's placement ser
vices and covered all areas
except medicine and nursing.
Frank Hallgren, director of
the general placement ser
vice, said responses were re
ceived from 1189 graduates,
including 264 served by t h e
teachers' placement service
headed by Dr. Wesley Meier
henry. The survey showed the June
graduates had these plans:
Immediate Employment. . .
Si per cent; over half of
these, 54 per cent, in Nebras
ka. To Graduate Study ... 21
per cent.
-To Armed Forces ... 10
per cent.
Undecided on Jobs or Seek
ing Employment ... 8 per
cent.
Plans Unknown or Unre
ported. . . 7'2 per cent.
Marriage or Other Plans
Excluding Employment. . .
2',2 per cent.
The survey showed the en
gineers ranking high as group
contenders for salary. Their
Nebraska median starting sa
lary was $500-$549 per month.
The Nebraska salary median
for engineers was a full $100
lower than that paid for en
gineers outside the state a
condition reflected in the fact
" that 70 graduates left t h e
state while 37 stayed.
Hallgren pointed out that
the salary medians the sur
vey showed for all graduates
$400-$449 for Nebraska jobs
and $450-$49 for out-of-state
Jobs may be low. The reason
for suspecting the general me
dian figures, he said, is that
comparatively few graduate-
degree recipients or dentists
; reported their expected in-
comes.
'. The survey showed those
who leave Nebraska go to a
' grca'i variety of states and
severil far-away places such
as Uganda, Korea, and Ethio
I pia.

They order the German tra
ditionalsausages, saurkraut
and beer, espresso coffee or
ice cream cones. As they
talk and sing, other students
begin erecting quick up fast
er down displays. Wires are
strung between the trees on
both sides of the sidewalk to
snpport the works of young,
struggling artists.
One has only paintings of
nudes. Another's specialty is
the peculiar size of all his
paintings two feet long and
only four or five inches wide.
Most are done in what to me
were morbid reds and deep
wine maroons.
Each display, set up often
by couples, is lit by candles
in old jars and bottles. Some
students have a sales pitch,
such as "the hand hammered
copper bracelet is selling for
16DM ($4) only tonight, only
for you."
Or there's the ingenious lad
who is selling gravel stones
he has painted in gay, bright
sometimes iridescent colors
with designs turtles, flowers,
Bavarian dancers, a fish
skeleton or a profile of a wom
an. He gets 50c to $1.25!
One couple sit, under their
batik work hung on a wire,
reciting vocabulary words.
Another girl, selling decora
tive whisky, beer and wine
bottles, is writing a theme or
perhaps a thesis.
Two boys take advantage
of unusual surroundings and
place their paintings on slabs
of concrete and piles of grav

YD's Sell Medallions,
Sign New Workers
The Young Democrats (YD)
are selling Kennedy medal
lions, Johnson edallions, and
other campaign materials in
the lobby of the Student Un
ion. With the election coming so
soon, the YD's are signing
up workers before the activ
ities mart. Bob Cherny, the
special projects worker, said
that they are gratified by the
way people are signing up for
the organization.
Cherny said that it looks
like a good year for the YD's.
"We found that Johnson was
very popular, in fact, one of
the large pictures of him was
stolen from us at the fair."
Students Must Live
In Approved Housing
All unmarried undergradu
ates students who do not live
with their parents during the
school year are required to
live in residences approved
by the Dean of Student Af
fairs. Most freshmen women
on City Campus live in the
Residence Halls for Women
and on Ag Campus in Burr
Hall and Fedde Hall.
All arrangements for stu
dent housing can be made

Students and some older
persons out for a walk, or
tourists spending that one
tour-free evening on their
own, wander around, stopping
to look at some to buy the
students' wares.
A lonely old man with a
protruding nose, tiny red
rimined, half shut eyes and a
white beard stands holding
his hat. He wears baggy,
blue trousers and a grey jack
et torn at the e I b o w. He
sells nothing but soon walks
away to a cafe has his drink
and comes back again to un
burden someone's pockets of
their unneeded pfennigs.
Some students have a buck
et or dish near their display
with a card of explanation
"Fur die Schule" (for school)
or some more hor.estly, "Fur
die Bier."
It's a lovely walk down
Leopold Strassee on a week
night. The atmosphere is con
tagious and to me a polished
natural stone seems just the
right memoir. The transac
tion is made and the natur
al stone locket is handed over,
wrapped in a piece of crum
pled, dampish, old newspa
peras if the dark, shaggy
haired, shoeless student were
parting with a treasure.
The street would have to be
tree-lined. There would hae
to be expresso houses and
side walk cafes and music.
It woid have to be filled with
students interested in sing

studying. Could it be 14th

month, then t r a ve 1 e d

and spent three weeks in a

A rummer in France a
drear:, come true and also
an opportunity for language
difficulties, social errors and
those incidents, amusing or
serious, ordinary or interest
ing, which could only happen
to an American in France.
France where attractive
young women wearing full
skirts and high heels ride mo
torcycles at full speed through
winding city streets with lit
tle regard for anyone else's
life.
France where we did the
cha cha on a crowded dance
floor, regardless of what the
other dancers were doing
because the band was playing
a cha cha. France where
young people are doing the
Madison, a dance popular in
the U.S. in the 1930's.
A midnight climb to the top
of a mountain resulted in a
lost key the only key to the
house. After a frantic search
with matches and flashlights,
the key was found before the,
parents of the girl had to be
awakened. This experience
was one example of the
French tendency to maintain
closer ties with their parents
than young people in the U.S.
It was a special privilege
for this 17-year old girl to
be given the house key.
And sidewalk cafes a
Frenchman's favorite sport.
A waiter would never think
of asking someone to leave,
and with a cup of coffee a
customer has an afternoon's
ticket to watch the world go
by. He can philosophize,
dream or make new friends.
French supermarkets might
not be large or well-stocked,
but who wants to shop in
them when there are outdoor
Peace Corpsmen
Training Here
Peace Corps trainees sched
uled for eventual service in
Colombia have arrived at the
University to begin their
training. These men and wom
en have been selected from
applicants over the entire
country, and will remain here
for training for twelve weeks.
The students will be given
more than 250 class-hours of
instruction in Spanish in ad
dition to courses in sanita
tion, food preparation, land
conservation, home econom
ics and history of the United
States and Colombia.
Another group of students
have just left the University
to do service in Bolivia. To
date, 110 Peace Corps train
ees have been given instruc
tion at the University of Nebraska.
markets, with fresh, ripe
fruits and vegetables to tempt
the buyers. Competitors shout
out their prices, and house
wives discuss quality. One
passes the fish market quick
ly, but the next stop is the
flower market and it is im
possible to go on without buy
ing a bouquet.
Aix-en-Provence will never
forget two American girls
wearing bermudas and a
shift. We were the most
popular sight on Mirabeau
Avenue that day.
The French are truly gour
mets, and they would have
been horrified to have seen
us stirring orange juice with
our fingers while relaxing
comfortably in a hotel room
in Geneva. We weren't always
living luxuriously, but few
people can say they ate lunch
in the g a r d en of Voltaire's
home.
Anything American in
France has its price. Cokes
were always 25 cents. But hot
dogs were made with a tra
ditional French flair by drill
ing a hole in a small piece
of French bread, and then add
ing the hot dog and mustard.
With strong teeth, it was ed
ible. Every morning pastry shops
are crowded with people buy
ing French pastry. But pastry
is seldom served in homes as
a desert, :o the mystery is,
what happens to the pastry
between the shop and home?
We ate sauerkraut and wine
in Alsace, fish soup in Mar
seille, onion soup in a tiny
village and cous cous in Aix.
But with every kind of food,
we ate French bread. A
Frenchman carries a loaf of
bread with him everywhere
on a Paris subway, climbing a
mountain, or in a basket be
hind his bicycle.
French customs could be
frustrating. There were no
drinking fountains nor napkins
in restaurants and everything
closed for two hours at noon.
But in France a cleaning
lady discusses opera, a pre
fector serves champagne in
the afternoon and everyone
eats constantly on trains.
An old man on a train who
kept us entertained with his
antics for two hours said as
he left, "Tell America we
loved President Kennedy."
The French see little con
nection between the number of
seats on a train and the num
ber of tickets they sell. As
a result we found ourselves
with eight suitcases, several

sleeping bags and 12 other
people crowded into the small
space at the end of a car.
France is "Le pays du hand
shake" the country of the
handshake where I felt as
if I had really made a new
friend, after a firm hand
shake. And there were small shops
with beautiful window displays
showing promise of even bet
ter things inside. Then after
going inside, one discovers
that the store's entire stock
is in the window.
Every town, no matter what
size, has its war memorial.
In the north of France, where
memories of the war are still
clear, we visited a beautiful
American cemetary. People
from the town of Bruyeres
visit the cemetary each year
to pay tribute to the men wfto
gave their lives to save the
town at the end of October,
1944.
Only in France could every
one take a vacation in Aug
ust. On August 31, traffic was
light in Paris, but on Sep
tember 1, vacationing workers
returned. As we drove at a
crawl through the streets that
morning, my taxi driver com
mented to a lady beside him,
"It begins."
But for me Paris was not
the beginning of vacation, but
the end. It was time to say
good-bye to croissants and
friendly Italians, bikinis and
demitasse coffee and say hel
lo to tennis shoes and white
socks, bermudas and presiden
tial elections.

Research Grants
Hit Record High
The University received
more than $6.2 million, a rec
ord amount in research, train
ing and fellowship grants
from outside sources during
the 1963-64 school year.
Vice Chancellor Roy Holly,
University research adminis
trator, said this represents a
$1.2 million, or approximate
ly 20 per cent increase over
the preceding year.
Eighty per cent of the out
side funds came from the fed
eral government, he said.
Holly explained that outside
grants and contracts make it
possible for persons at the
University to carry on inde
pendent research, to pursue
advanced degrees and to re
ceive special training in var
ious fields.
