Nursing Course
Will Be Offered
A seven-week collegiate
course dealing with dally en
counters of the professional
nurse will be offered by the
University School of Nursing
and the College of Business
Administration.
"Managing Personnel," sec
ond in the special series of
courses entitled '"Toward
Self-Improvement in Admdnl
strative Technique," will be
conducted at the Nursing
ischool in Omaha, each Satur
day from 9 a.m. until 12 noon,
beginning Feb. 20 and con
cluding April 3.
The non-credit course is
based on the Business Ad
ministration's business organ

ticular emphasis being placed
on the supervisory aspects of
personnel motivation, work
performance, communication
and evaluation.
Course instructor will be

tion at the College of Business
Administration.
Fee for the course is $20
plus an additional charge
for required text materials.
Registration is being handled
by the office of continuing
education, College of Medi
cine. The February 20 April
3 course is designed to accept
approximately 80 registrants.
Teachers Will Meet
Tomorrow At Center
The first of four annual
meetings of the Council on
Teacher Education for 1965
will be held at the Nebraska
Center tomorrow.
The assembly of 80 educa
tors will include a reprecenta
tive selection of teachers in
the grades, high schools and
teachers colleges.
The group will meet to dis
cuss teacher certification in
Nebraska and the general
preparation of teachers in the
State's elementary and sec
ondary schools.

The ominous future facing
the insect and animal pests
of nature was outlined recent
ly by a University professor
at the annual meeting of the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science held
in Montreal, Canada.
The report was presented by
Professor S. O. Nelson, re
search leader for the U.S. De
partment of Agriculture's Ag
ncuitural Engineering Re
searcn Division. The paper
was co-authored bv John Seu.
bert of the Fish and Wildlife
Service, U.S. Department of
tne interior, Laurel, Md.
Nelson described pest con
trol studies involving sound
and ultrasonic energy, radio
frequency electric fields, in
frared, visible and ultraviolet
radiation, and ionizing radia
tion such as X rays, gamma
irons.
Radiation
Radioactive sources of ioniz
ing radiation and electron ac
celerators, while more ex
pensive than chemical control
measures at present, will
probably be used some day
to control insects in large
quantities of grain, he said.
Doses of radiation large
enough to sterilize insects do
not hurt gram for human us
and there is no danger of the
gram becoming radioactive
when treated with the types
of radiation being consid
ered, Nelson said.
Genetic effects would pre
vent use of such treatment
on seed grain, however, he
said.
Radiation sterilization tech'
niques have already elimina
ted the screwworm menace in
the southeastern United States
through the release of millions
of radiation-sterilized male
flies, he said.
Ultraviolet Light
The attraction of ultraviolet
light to many species of night
flying insects has been used
to advantage m tremendously
reducing the population of to
bacco hornworm moths in a
12-mile-diameter experiment
al area in North Carolina.
Blacklight insect traps have
captured encouragingly large
numbers of the big moths in
experiments conducted by the
U.S. Department
ture, Nelson said.

Nelson said.
Sound Energy
Experimental work on in
sect control using sound en
ergy shows promise but this
field will require much further
study, he said. Ideas being in
vestigated include: recording
the sounds insects use for sex
attraction and recognition and
then broadcasting them to at
tract the insects; studies of
man-made sounds to attract
or otherwise influence insects ;
and continuous, low-1 e v e 1
sound exposure to reduce or
prevent insect infestation in
grain and food storage and
processing areas.

Repelling Pests
Sound stimuli have been
used with varying degrees of
success to repel birds from
agricultural areas and air
ports, he said. Pyrotechnic de
vices, rifles and shotguns, .si
rens, carbide and acetylene
exploders, air horn s, and
broadcast bird alarm and dis
tress calls have been the
principal stimuli used.
Experiments indicate that
the success of stimuli depends
upon how intelligently they
arc used, and on environment
al and behavioral factors,
Nelson said.
For instance, he said, the ef
fectiveness of broadcast dis
tress calls and shell crack
ers for repelling herring ulls
from feeding and loafing sites
depends on the strength of
th- drive to remain in a feed
ing or loafing area (site ten
acity), in relation to the
strength of the native reaction
to the stimuli.
Since these factors change
with time and Dlace. it is un
likely that the success of a
given stimulus can be predict
ed in all situations, he said.
Nelson and Seubert pointed
out the need for greatly ex
panded research on the phy
si 'ogy, sensory mechanism,
and behavior of pest animals
This research, thev said.
would provide information
needed for the development of
new control ideas, techniques,
and equipment including pos
sible new applications for son
ic and electromagnetc energy.
