Intercampus Bus Service
May Increase Within 2 Weeks
A trial increase in intercam
pus bus service, hopefully to
begin within the next t w o
weeks, was one of the plans
discussed at a parking round
table with ASUN Parking
Committee members and ad
ministration officials Wednes
day night.
The plan provides that Red
Rider bus service be extended
four hours longer on Monday
thru Thursday nights to allow
for students attending night
classes on the city or East
campus and students using the
library at night.
G. Robert Ross, vice chan
cellor and dean of student af
fairs, said the service would
be helpful and has been ap-

"I wouldn't deny that
apathy is a problem," Red

living, a person can do as he
pleases. I do think, however,
that for this type of 1 1 v i n g

could normally be expected.
A 1 m y disagreed, saying,
"It would seem that the dorm

really concerned with issues
that don't directly concern
him as an individual."
Almy cited one problem of
affectively organizing the
dormitories as having lead

New Induction
Exam To Cover
College Students
The Nebraska director of
the Selective Service, Gen.
Guy Henninger, met with na
tional Selective Service of
ficials in San Diego, Calif..
Monday and Tuesday in a
meeting designed to get ideas
from the state directors on
student deferments.
The meeting, attended by
state Selective Service direc
tors from Mountain and West
coasx states, is tne last in a
series of three meetings with
national officials.
He said that a college quali
fication test would be set up
before June.
Meanwhile, a student could
not be drafted if he were sat
isfactorily carrying a full
course load. He could still re
ceive a 1-S deferment.
"Right now my advice
would be to buckle down,
boys, and get the best grades
you cam," he said.
Most major firms are hiring
people going through place
ment interviews with an
agreement that military
leaves will be granted if
necessary, according to Frank
Hallgren, director of place
ment at the University.

depending on further action by
the Parking Committee. The
aaministration officials also
urged the Committee to pro
ceed with plans to have the
intercampus bus running dur
ing final exams this semes
ter. "About the only way we can
tell how many people are go
ing to use this service is to
try it," Dave Snyder, commit
tee chairman, said.
University Business Mana
ger Carl Donaldson said it
costs $7.51) an hour to run the
bus service and that it must
be used on a two-hour basis.
Ross said the intercampus bus
"is close to paying it's own
way."
"Your salvation, as far as
transportation is concerned, is
in expanded bus service in
the future," Donaldson added.
Members of the roundtable
also discussed the possibility
of having the traffic light at
the intersection of 14th and
'S' removed and having a def
inite pedestrian crossing
marked to provide a tempor
ary solution to hazardous con
ditions at that corner.
The city of Lincoln would
have to approve this move.
If the light was removed and
crosswalks painted and mark
ed, cars passing through the
areas would have to stop for
pedestrians in the crosswalk
because of a city ordinance
that governs this.
"I would like to see them
get rid of the light," said
Adam Breckenridge, vice
chancellor and dean of facul
ties. If the light was removed
there would be a stationary
stop sign posted on S' at the
intersection.
The Parking Committee re
quested that the mall in front
of the coliseum be designated
for one way or parallel park
ing only, but the administra
tion turned down the request
as impractical.
Cpt. Eugene Master, cam
pus police chief, said if the
action was approved 53 Area

University Moving Dairy Herd
One of the familiar sights
on the University s East Cam
purs for many years dairy
cows grazing contentedly in
the midst of residential north
east Lincoln soon will be no
more.
The bulk of the dairy herd,
composed of about 100 head
of milking cows, is being
trucked to the University's
Field Laboratory near Mead
this week, marking the first
in a series of moves involving
major livestock herds and
flocks from the Lincoln campus.
Departure of the cows for
new quarters at Mead will
make possible a more ef
ficient operation for the Uni
versity dairy science depart
ment, and the initiation of
new research projects, ac
cording to Dr. Philip Kelly,
dairy department chairman.
But, for thousands of visi
tors, including hosts of school
children, it will remove one
of the most popular stops on
annual tours of the College of
Agriculture and Home Eco-

The milking barn at t h e
Field Laboratory, one of four
new buildings constructed to
accommodate the dairy teach
ing and research herd, does
have an observation room for
visitors, Kelly assured
Milk produced by the herd
will be brought back to t h e
University diary plant for pro
cessing into bottled milk, ice
cream and other dairy prod
ucts for use in University food
service facilities.
According to dairy depart
ment records, the first dairy
animals were brought to t h e
agricultural campus in 1896,
and have been a part of t h e
scene there in varying num
bers continously since that
time.
The herd record for 1897
showed 10 cows nine grade
Jerseys and a Shorthorn-Jer
sey cross. The annual produc
tion for the herd averaged
6,130 lbs. of milk per cow, and
the average per-cow produc
tion of butterfat was 289.9 lbs. i

STEVE WEIIRBEIN ... of Plattsmouth, a student at NU
who works at the dairy department, leads a reluctant
bossy up the ramp to a waiting truck as the herd begins to
move out to its new home at Mead.
The first Holstein cow was
purchased for the University
herd in 1897, beginning a foun
dation group of about 60 fe
males of that breed. The first
purebred cow born on the
campus was a Holstein, "Katy
Gerben," in 1902.
The herd for some years
has included representatives
of four .major breeds Hoi
stein, Brown Swiss, Jersy and
Guernsey. It is anticipated
that the number of cows will
be kept at approximately 100
head in the foreseeable fu
ture, Kelly said.
"Moving the herd has ere
ated problems for both the
men caring for the cattle and
for the animals themselves,
he remarked. Moving a dairy
herd in the middle of winter
always presents problems
particularly when cows are
producing a large volume of
milk, Kelly pointed out
"At the heart of making the
transition a smooth one if the
recognition of the cows' social
organization," the NU dairy
department head explained.
"The cattle will have adjust
ments to make. However, no
new animals are being added,
and the cows are all well ac
quainted with each other.
Each will know its place in
the social organization to
which they belong. In other
words, each will know wheth
er they are the 'top boss, or
the 'straw boss,' on down in
10th or 15 th place.
"Nevertheless, the methods
of milking and care will be
different at the Field Labora
tory and a short time will be
required for the cows to be-
come accustomed to their new
surroundings. This will be es
peclally true for the modern
free-stall barn where the cows
can go mto clean and comfor
table stalls where they can
have privacy for as long as
they wish, Kelly continued.
Tho TVw rfairv unit at iha
Laboratory is located at the v
former Nebraska Ordnance
Plant. Four new buildings a
milking parlor, free stall hous
ing barn, a nutrition barn for
experimental use and a house,
make up the unit. Some of the
existing buildings of the for
mer munitions assembly line
will provide feed storage and
shelter for young dairy stock.
The milking barn, of her
ringbone design, will allow
six cows to be fed and milked
at one time. The milk will be
piped directly from the milk
ing machines into a bulk tank.
Most of the equipment, includ
ing the glass weighing jars,
will be cleaned in place by an
automatically-timed washing
unit.
The free stall housing unit
eventually will hold 84 cows,
though for the presen,t its ca
pacity will be limited to 60
units, with the remainder, of
the barn kept for other uses.
The free stall housing unit is
provided with an adjoining
paddock so that cows can feed
outside or go into the barn
whenever they wish.
The 42-stall nutrition re
search barn will be provided
with a laboratory and facili
ties to individually feed ani
mals when experiments call
for this type of practice, Kel
ly said. At present, since there
are no other facilities, this
barn will be used partly for
the care of young calves.
These barns differ in some
respects from dairy buildings
in common commerical use
because their primary use is
for research projects, he said.
The free stall housing unit is
arranged so that cows can
be kept in groups of 12 if
groups of this size are desir
able for experiments.
In addition to the individual
feeding arrangements in t h e
nutrition research barn, the
feeding system eventually will
consist of containers which
will hold one feeding of a spe
cific ration. These containers
can be filled with fairly large
quantities during a single op
eration to save labor. The ra
tions are then stored until
needed for feeding durin ghe
next several days.
The new facilities will en-
able the dairy research staff
to Improve and broaden t h e
department's experimental
programs, Kelly said. New
projects will be started after
the cows have become ac
quainted with their surround
ings and the equipment has
had time to operate efficient-
Thirty-six cows, involved in
study exploring the use of
dehydrated alfalfa in dairy
rations, will remain in Lincoln
until mid-summer. "This
product is important to Ne
braska agriculture as a
source of revenue and the
cows must not be moved until
the experiment is completed
f it is to be of value," Kelly
explained.
Younger dairy stock was
taken to the Field Laboratory
during the summer of 1965
and put on pasture.

College graduates, new to Ford Motor Company;
often comment on the comparative youth of many
of our top executives. The example of these men
in key positions is evidence that being young is no
handicap at Ford to those who possess ability and
ambition. In fact, new employes can expect
challenging assignments while still participating
in our College Graduate Program. This means an
opportunity to demonstrate special skills and
initiative while still learning the practical, day-today
aspects of the business. Consider the experi
ence of Jim Weston, who has been with Ford
Motor Company for three years.
Jim came to Ford in February, 1963. His first assignment was in marketing
analysis where his principal job was evaluating present and potential
dealer locations. For a time, he also gained experience in the actual pur
chasing of dealer locations. Later, an assignment forecasting sales and
market potential with Ford Division's Truck Sales Programming Depart
ment gave him the background he needed to qualify for his present position.
His job today? Only three years out of college, Jim is now a senior financial
analyst in Ford Division's Business Management Department.
Jim Weston's experience is not unusual. At Ford Motor Company, your
twenties can be challenging and rewarding years. Like to learn more about
it? Talk to our representative when he visits your campus.
