Seven NU Water Research Projects Financed By New Institution Research efforts involving water, its behavior, use and many forms in nature, are being broadened and strength ened through the new Water Resources Research Institute at the University. Eugene C. Reed, acting di rector of the Institute, said that seven projects are being financed as a result of the Water Resources Act passed by Congress in 1964. The federal allotment for the 19f5 66 fiscal year is $87,500. Among the research efforts supported by the Institute is that of Dr. W. A. Scheller, as sociate professor of chemical engineering and Dr. Carl E. Georgl, professor and chair man of the department of microbiology. Drs. Scheller and Georgi are investigating the potential of using microorganisms to produce electrical energy which, in turn, can be used to change brackish to fresh wa ter. The scientists are collecting and growing cultures of bac teria found in certain Nebras ka ponds, organisms adapted to a brackish water environ Museum Trades Camel Skeletons The University museum Is in the process of exchanging two camel skeletons for a tiger, a wolf and a tarpool. Dr. C. Bertrand Schultz, director of the museum, said that the University was ex changing the Nebraska camel skeletons with a Los Angeles museum for a saber tooth tiger, an ice age wolf and a Ranchola Brea tarpool. He noted that the museum continually trades and ex changes with other museums throughout the world.

The University, according to the announcement, will re ceive $5,800 for technical grants-in-aid for electrical en gineering and chemistry, and $1,000 for undergraduate tech nical scholarship use. The announcement said that the scholarships are awarded at the direction of the Uni versity and may be used for one or more qualified students. liiiiiiniiti First Anniversary Celebration 33 Monday thru Saturday, February Just by sifting at the lucky table or counter.

These organisms are believed to produce a cer tain enzyme which in turn might be used successfully in a fuel cell to furnish electrici ty to produce fresh water. Still another Institute s u p ported effort is that of Dr. Norman J. Rosenberg, asso ciate professor of agroclima tnlogy in the department of horticulture and forestry, and Hoyt Hart, a meteorologist and instructor in the depart ment. Dr. Rosenberg and Hart are studying soil moisture losses in the Great Plains ef fected by solar (sun) energy, winds and plant life. Their research will involve the use of lysimeters, com plex soil weighing devices which will reflect very small moisture chanees in the earth. The research goals include an analysis of the physics in volved in moisture loss, and the formulation of general principles which will enable a prediction of such losses un der variant conditions every where and especially for irri gation practices in the Great nains. Tractor Lab The University's tractor testing laboratory, which has tested more tractors than any other lab in the world, set a record total of 55 tractors in 1965. This was the largest num ber ot tractors tested since the facility was established in 1920. Among the 55 tractors were four English models, several American models with Eng lish engines, and a Japanese model. The Japanese tractor was the first from Asia to be tested at the Nebraska lab oratory. versity. Dr. L. C.

Sets Mark "We expect it to be the first of many," Frank Zoz, instrue tor of agricultural engineer ing and tractor testing at the University, said. The Nebraska lab, the only one operated by a university in the United Mates, has tested a total of 931 tractors since it was first started. Included in this figure are tractors from Poland, Czech oslovakia, Sweden, Italy France, Germany, Canada and England. The Nebraska tractor test ing laboratory is the result of a Polk County state senator's disappointment with his trac tor. He felt that its perform ance did not meet the manu facturer's claims, and pro posed a bill calling for meas urement of performance by an unbiased authority. The senator's bill received only one negative vote from his fellow legislators. The bill stipulated that before a model of a tractor could be placed on the Nebraska market, a corresponding model must be tested at the University lah The tractor company also had to maintain stocks of re pairs and parts in the state for any tractors it sold in Nebraska.

After getting his B.A. degree in history, Ron joined the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Agency as a Special Agent. With the help of Prudential's professional training program, he has placed a million dollars of life and health insurance protection on men and women in the Cedar Rapids area in each of the last four years. Ron is a man who knows the thrill of setting a high goal and achieving it. If you are aiming for an income of at least $20,000 a year and you're willing to work hard to get there, Pru has a spot for you. A career in Life Underwriting can make you a professional adviser to men of importance, and give you the satisfaction that comes from providing a needed service. Ron's goal through college was not an insurance career, but he investigated it and liked what he saw. Perhaps you will, too. If this opportunity matches your ambitions, you owe it to yourself to make a date now through your placement bureau with the Prudential Repre sentative. He will be on campus Thursday, February 24.

John Aronson, director of admissions, said that this was thought to be the largest group of Nebraska high school seniors ever to attend a tra ditional Senior Information Day at the University. He noted that the Saturday program included mostly stu dents from the Omaha-Bel-leviie area. In addition high school groups also attended from Osmond, Seward, Gree ley, Holdrege, Oakland and Lincoln. Comments from the future University students as they toured the halls, visited class rooms and heard lectures were many and varied. One Omaha Central girl's only comment was a loud, "I like it." When asked what she liked about it, she wasn't sure, out she did insist that she couldn't wait to be a part of it. Another Omaha Central eirl praised the library in stating tnat tne "library is pretty good especially since it's so large." A Westside boy, John Mc Collister had praise for the INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA information he had received on the English program and thought it would be great reading books "and concen trating more on the subject than the composition." In addition to University professors and graduate stu dents, undergraduate students who volunteered their time for the project included the mem bers of the Nebraska Human Resources Research Project, and student representatives from all sororities and fra ternities on campus. .... . Aronson said he was highly gratified that so many Ne braska youngsters are taking advantage of the special pro gram in which they are given the opportunity to experience something of university-level study and college life. He said that the seniors showed heavy preference for lectures and information con cerning such subjects af psy chology, English and mathe matics. The students, he exDlainerl. heard lectures in a number of areas and had the onDortnnitv to meet the dean of the col lege in which they plan , to enroll. "There were more Omaha area students taking part in this sinele Droeram than there were students attending from an over Nebraska in 1962, Aronson said. TYIm. 3krt$ Jwdi 330 North 13th
