YWCA Bazaar Oilers Newest Fink Doll: Gink It's 20 inches deep, 25 inches in diameter at its widest point, made of glass, and big enough to hold a northern pike or two gallons of brandy; and you can buy it for only $10 at the YWCA Christmas Bazaar. The annual bazaar is being held in the party rooms of the Student Union through tomorrw this week. International items are be Ing sold from nine different countries. Items for sale range from 50-cent match boxes from Sweden and Is rael to $50 rugs. A "Gink Fink" doll from Atlanta, Georgia was one of the items from America. The Gink Fink is one of the Fink Family, according to his la bel. The family includes "Rat Fink," "Stink Fink," "Gink Fink," and 'Think Fink." Betty Gabehart, YWCA di rector at the University, said that American articles are in eluded in the bazaar only if they are special, and may be used as stocking fillers, since the purpose of the bazaar is to bring in many foreign items. A pair of chopsticks lying on a table were mistaken for fountain pens by one coed. When she found out her er ror, she said, 'I can't ima gine eating with them!" Approximately $10, 000 worth of merchandise is handled at the bazaar each year, with about $1,000 profit going to the YWCA. The mon ey raised at the annual proj ect is used by the YWCA to payy for the operation of projects such as juvenile court, fresbr,"n cr. vn, tutor ial pi'Ojcci, girls' club, and the foreign student luncheon. In the past, according to Miss Gabehart, the YWCA had several smaller projects each year, such as car washes and local bazaars, but for the last five or six years the one really big project of the year has been the Christ mas bazaar. Items for the bazaar are ordered in June of each year, and begin to come In during the late summer, Miss Gabe hart said. They are then marked, and things are made ready for the December sale. A few new items are added each year, she said, such as a doll from Portugal this Ask City 14th Street Council to vacate and close 14th Street from the north side of R to the south side of Vine. They urged the action to be taken at the earliest possible time so as to eliminate traffic on 14th from going through the University and to protect students when crossing the street. In other action at the Re gents' meeting, they named Dr. Merk Hobson as vice chancellor for research and dean of the Graduate College at the University, effective Feb. 1. Hobson will succeed Dr Roy Holly, who will leave the University Feb. 1 to go to Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia. Hobson is currently dean of the College of Engineering and Architecture, serving in tnat capacity since 1957. He has been a member of t h e University staff since 1950. Hobson received his bache lor of science degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1948, his master of science degree in 1948 and his doctor of philosophy degree in 1951, both from Northwestern Uni versity. The Regents also named Dr. George Peng associate professor of architecture and supervisor of community de velopment and Dr. John McClendon associate profes sor of botany. A committee was also ap pointed to look into the ques tion of the possible use of state funds in financing dorm itories. year. In the past some Ameri can Indian items have been sold at the bazaar. In the three days the ba zaar is held, about 100 peo ple, including student mem bers and advisory board members of YWCA spend from one to four hours work ing at the bazaar. Customers range from Uni versity students to political science professors, to local citizens. One man got so enthusias tic, he had a tray full of items he was buying for per sonal use and handy Christ mas presents.

Ashley Montagu CoDls By Marilyn Hocgemeyer Senior Staff Writer "Race" in the modern sense is a concept of very recent origin, no older than the 19th Century, Dr. Ashley Montagu, a physical anthro pologist said Monday in an address at Love Library. The idea of race is a com paratively new phenomenon, more of a problem in t h e 20th century than ever before in history, Mantagu said. Montagu outlined the his tory of the idea of race to a standing-room only audience. He defined race in terms of social and biological con cepts. The social concept of race a notion that there exists certain physical and behavi oral traits that influence the cultural achievement in dif ferent groups "is an easy in terpretation which goes be yond the facts is in short, in error." The Greeks were the first to hold the social theory of race. They imposed the con ditions of slavery on those whose culture was not as high as their own. According to the Aristotelian concept of natur al slavery, there existed natural differences between people and not races, Mon tagu said. The application of the so cial concept enabled the su perior to subjugate the in ferior, Montagu said. Aristotle believed he superior in good ness had a rignt to rule over their inferiors. "The modern idea of race got started in the Catholic Church where so many things have started," Montagu said. In 1555 Pope Nicholas V sent out a decree which called ior the subjugation of Christian Honorary Initiates Sophomore Men Phi Eta Sigma, freshman men's scholastic honorary, has initiated twenty-t h r e e sophomores. Candidates for membership must attain at least a 7.5 av erage the first semester or the entire freshman year. The new initiates are Paul Carlson, Fred Cromer, Keith Erickson, Ken Fritzler, Rus sell Fuller. Richard Haddix, Jerry Johnson; Thomas Larson, Francis Lefler, Charles Lowe, John Newton, Ted Ormesher, Jim Patten, Frederic Pearson. Robert Pavlick; Philip Pettett, Bill Potts, Larry Rasmussen. Brian Rid riell. Melvin Schlacter, W i 1 liam Struyk, George Tanner, and Richard Theis. "This play has elements of every kind of drama," Bald win explained. "It varies from comedy, satire, and farce, to serious drama, tragedy and even melo drama." Cast in the parts of the three Prozoroff sisters are Carla Rethwisch, Pat Patter son, and Susan Granata. Everett Lawton has the role of Andrey Prozoroff, the stu dious brother. The part of Natasha will be played by Pat Becker. Kenton Hill is cast as Kulygin, the school teacher. Other cast members are Mike Karel, Bruce Borin, Mike Dobbins, Frank Vy biral, Ray Stanek, Larry Schneider, Melissa Christen sen, Will Rosenthal, Eric Otte, Toni Lade, Lana Kruce and Joe Lamar Baldwin, a sopho more at Lincoln Southeast High School, cast as a street musician. Baldwin will be on radio station KFMQ Thursday morning at 9 a.m. to talk about the play and give something of a preface for IP cace Concept infidels. Their enslavement was to assure their entrance into God's kingdom, he said. European armies and ex plorers in the new world ac corded the native people sav age treatment and enslaved them because they believed them to be biologically inter ior and irrational. In 1537 the Vatican con demned the enslavement of the American Indians, stating that they were rational be ings, capable of salvation. During the Age of Enlight enment the feeling of equality among men was strong among the humanitarians. "The image of man was now bold and clear," Montagu said. There was a challenge of new ideas and belief in un dreamed of varieties of men. Excavated Sea Serpent Returned A forty-foot sea serpent, an early Nebraska native, has made its new home on third floor of Nebraska Hall. The fossil was discovered and ex cavated near Valparaiso. Members of the L i n c o 1 n Gem and Mineral Club have spent the past week working to remove hard rock from around the serpent. The cast and rock around the skull was nearly removed yesterday, and should be finished within two or three more days. Putting the pieces together is "like working a jig-sav; puzzle, said one of the work ers. Each section must be cleaned and brushed careful ly, and small pieces glued and shellacked into place. A great part of the fossil is the vertabrae and plates. He is lying on his side. University scientists are continuing their work in an attempt to further identify the fossil through compara tive techniques and to estab lish its exact position in the geological record. It was known almost im mediately upon discovery that it belonged to the great Plesiosauria sub-order of rep tiles that lived in Cretaceious seas about 120 million years ago. If the fossil turns out to be the first of its species found, and it appears likely, Dr. C. Bertrand Schultz, director of the University State Museum, will propose that it be given the name rezaci, after the Rezak family, on whose farm the serpent was found. llr..,lUi,L,lil.,l.ll-.,Ml.... .....I!, I, l,.ll.,.lllllll,lll.l,.l..l..,.....l.l,Mil . .

Wednesday, December 9, 1964 o o m e m m The division of races was originally made on the basis of complexion or country or culture. There are neither four nor five races, Montagu said because "complexions run into each other and be come shades of the same great picture" that of man kind. The problem of race today is more than an American problem, a more serious problem than ever, Montagu said. "It's a problem of hu manity itself which too many see as merely a problem of race," he said. Montagu appeared Monday in the first of two 1964 Mont gomery Lectures. The second and last lecture will be pre sented today at 3:30 p.m. in Love Library auditorium. The English-born anthropol ogist received his education at the University of London and the University of Flor ence. He came to America in 1930 and received his doc torate from Columbia Univer sity in 1939. Montagu became a U.S. citizen in 1940, has served as a professor of anatomy, an thropology and was a Regent of the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1962. Montagu has written many books including: The Natural Superiority of Women, How to Find Happiness and Keep It, The Meaning of Love, and The Culture and Evolution of Man.
