CAMPUS . . .
AWS STANDARDS Week
has been observed on the Uni
versity campus with a new
emphasis on creativity. The
week has included a speech
from a former National Mor
tar Board president and a
group of displays.
FM RADIO station for the
University campus has re
ceived further consideration
by G. Robert Ross, vice
chancellor and dean of stu
dent affairs, and Robert
Spearman, professor of jour
nalism. Dean Ross said that
certain parties connected with
Lincoln radio stations had
expressed concern over the
possible campus educational
station.
THE UNIVERSITY
BOARD of Regents accepted
a report recommending that
the 1,400 acre agronomy
farm east of Lincoln be used
for residential purposes. The
land, which has been used for
agricultural experimentation,
is scheduled to be phased out
and the work transferred to
the field laboratory at Mead.

Hyde Park Forums
To Resume Thursday
Hyde Park was canceled
this week because of prob

Scott, Nebraska Union pro
gram manager.
He said that the discussion
forum was planned to be
moved to the Pan American
room in the Union, "but since
it is primarily a food-service
area, it is booked up with
events for weeks in ad
vance." The forum will be held next j
Thursday at 3:30 p.m. in the
Union Lounge as before, ac
cording to Scott. He said that
steps were planned to "rem

tion in the hall-ways."
The hall-way congestion

By Jane Palmer
Horses, oxen and human
hands are still common
farming tools in Chile, ac
cording to Everett Fisher.
Fisher, who works in the
agriculture department of a
Chilean school sponsored by
the Seventh Day Adventist
Church, is on leave from
Chile as a University stu
dent in dairy science and
nutrition.
He explained that agricul
turally the people of Chile
are 25 to 30 years behind
the United States.
"Most people work with
horses and oxen. Many are
still broadcasting seeds
(sowing their seeds by
hand) and cutting wheat by
hand," he said.
Even though Chile is 25 to
30 years behind, this does
not mean that in 25 or 30
years they will be at the
same level the United States
is today because their rate
of progress is so much
slower, Fisher said.
"Chile's rate of progress
Is such that the range be

Bowl it's because you're afraid to play us down at Dallas.
Now do you think that's right?"
With the ole Husker spirit gathering faster with every
word, I nearly shouted that if we decided to play in the
Orange Bowl it certainly wasn't because Nebraska was
afraid of Arkansas.
It was the voice again this Jones who said, "What
else can we think if you-all decide to have fun on the
beaches instead of playing a real team?"
I asked him if he were a member of the campus news
paper staff. He said he wasn't just a student offering a
personal challenge to the University of Nebraska Cornhusk
ers. "If you-all aren't scared of playing Arkansas, we'll be
looking for you in Dallas then. Nice talking to you. Bye
now."
"Yea, nice talking," I think I -said. The voice was gone.
It was 10:14 a.m. Several people had wandered Into
the office wanting to talk. We talked. Several staff mem
bers arrived. We laughed about the Jones call from Arkan-

rather than narrower. This
will continue to be true if
they are left to progress by
themselves, but with outside
help they may progress
faster," he noted.
Fisher indicated that this
slow rate of progress in
Chile is not because "they
don't have the Interest to
progress, but that they don't
have the capital to invest."
Point Four in the Alliance
for Progress of the United
States has done much to
help Chile, he said. He ex
plained that the advisers
sent to Chile during Tru
man's administration were
an example of a good way
to help these people.
"Advisers were sent in to
teach the people technical
knowledge," he stated.
"They trained the local peo
ple to handle technical
things by themselves and
then left. This left local peo
ple capable to handle these
things by themselves."

"There is more activity and

The old idea that Latin
Americans, because of reli

families, has been proven un
true today, he said. "L a t i n
American women do not want
all the children God sends,"
he added.
Surveys have revealed that
most Latin American women
want between two and four
children. In the cities sur-

He explained that the Chil
ean college has about 500
students and is located in
Chilian, Chile, as part of a
chain of schools started by
the Seventh Dav adventists.
He said that much of the
equipment at the college is
very crude and that In 1961
he came to the United
States on a summer fur
lough. He attended summer
school and took back 18 tons
of equipment.
Typewriters, p r o j e c -tion

mixer, tractors, cultivators,
corn shellors and many
more pieces of farm equip

load he took back. Some of
the equipment was pur
chased by the church, some
donated and some obtained
through the self-help p r o

But we were suspicious.
At 11:30 a.m. a long-distance phone call was placed to
the University of Arkansas, to the Sigma Chi house for Don
Jones. A voice answered, "What was the name, mam? Don
Jones? Ah'm sorry, we don't have a Don Jones heaver."
"Thank you sir, thank you very much," I said.
So who is Don Jones?
At 1:45 p.m. the phone rang. It was a long distance
call from the University of Arkansas, from a sports editor
on the Arkansas Traveler, the campus paper.
He was checking on a call from a Nebraskan. a Bob
Kawalski, who introduced himself as the assistant sports
editor for the Daily Nebraskan. Kawalski's story was that
a poll was being conducted at the University of iNebraska
concerning the upcoming bowl games matching Arkansas
and Nebraska. '
Who is Kawalski? He doesn't work on the Nebraskan.
"I think someone's just having a little fun." the Traveler's
sports editor said. We agreed.

he said. "The increase in pop
ulation from 1920 to 1980 alone
will populate an India and
Pakistan," he said.
The problem is not just high
fertility, but "fertility com
bined with low mortality. The
balance of birth over death is
unprecedented," he said.
These rapid increases are
absorbing resources which
could otherwise be used to
further capital investment.
Economic growth is be
ing kept to '"frustratingly low
rates" Stycos added.
To illustrate the immediate
problem ef a high population
rate. Stycos explained the
crowded conditions of El Sal

of Latin America, must dou
ble its present school space in
the next few years in order to
maintain its present educa

guessing about figures in this
case. These children are al

A Pan American Confer
ence recently recommended
that all nations develop popu
lation policies as part of their
outlook on economic develop
ment. Those attending the
conference also felt that gov
ernments should make family
planning services available,
he said.
The United States is more
willing than ever before to
lend aid for programs of popu
lation control. The public is
no longer overly sensitive
about population control, he
said.
"Now the danger is in too
much haste, too much mon
ey, and too much 'hard sell'."
he said. Americans must be
prepared to meet "traditional
suspicion" and the Marxist
influence. Tntellectuads often
oppose American aid, especi
ally when it is accompanied
by cutbacks in heaJtli pro
grams, he said.
