Gibbs Publishes Airport
Sketches In Magazine
Both the charm and the neg
lect of airport architecture in
the United States was brought
to the attention of the flying
public this week by the
sketches of a University pro
fessor. The sketches appear in the
April issue of "Flying" mag
azine and were executed by
Dale Gibbs, professor of
architecture.
During the past several
years Gibbs, with the mag
azine's managing editor, has
gathered information about
the nation's air terminals
from ramshackle sheds to the
magnificent international air
ports of coastal cities.
Gibbs concludes that while

said the number of teams is
up 25 this year over last
year's number and this sur
plus has created scheduling
problems and problems ob

He said the organization is
attempting to work out a sys

tures dating to the time of
barnstorming still stand, they
are rapidly falling apart and
the flying public ought to do
something about it.
Commenting on the many
rarely used, weather beaten
lean-to sheds capped with
windsocks, Gibbs explained
"these structures reflect or
evoke the spirit of flying in
the beginning, the canvas and
bailing wire era of Lindbergh,
Post and Earhart, of barn
stormers' mail flights and
World War I."
A good number of these his
torical airports have already
reached the point of no re

crepitude, he says, but some

I ' t
Majority Favor
Viet Nam Policy
"Who is the head of the
North Vietnamese govern
ment?" may seem like a rel
atively easy question, but 47.6
per cent of 250 University stu
dents could not answer it cor
rectly. In a poll conducted by the
Daily Nebraskan, students
were asked six questions re
garding Viet Nam and its his
tory. The two primary loca
tions for the polling were the
Nebraska Union and Love
Library.
Majority In Favor
The one question which re
quired an opinion was wheth
er or not the student support
ed the present United States
policy in Viet Nam. Affirma-1
tive answers were given by 1
68.4 per cent of the students '
questioned.
In a similar poll conducted
by the Colorado Daily at the
University of Colorado in
Boulder, it was reported that
66.4 per cent of the students
supported U.S. policy.
The second question, "Who
is the head of the North Viet
namese government?" was
answered correctly by 52.4
per cent of the University stu
dents polled. At Colorado, the
percentage of correct replies
was four points higher, 56.4
per cent.
Of the students who sup
ported U.S. policy in Vie
Nam, 48.7 per cent answered
correctly with Ho Chi Minh,
while 71.4 per cent of the stu
dents who opposed our policy
answered the question correct
ly. One-third Correct
To the question, "Who is
the head of the South Vietna
mese government?", 30.8 per
cent of the Nebraska students
answered correctly with
Nguyen Cae Ky. By compari
son, Colorado students
amassed a percentage of 48.8
correct answers.
Of ten students who op
posed U.S. policy, 4.39 per
c e nt answered correctly,
while those favoring our pol
cy answered at a rate of 33.4
per cent correct.
The fourth question, "What
is the name of t he political
arm of the Viet Cong?", (the
National Liberation Front),
AUFFaculty
Drive Nets
52 Goal
Only one week remains in
which to collect the remain
ing 48 of the All University
Fund (AUF) Faculty Drive
total, according to Bev Arm
strong, AUF Treasurer.
"The fact that only 52 of
the total has been collected in
66 of the time is a little dis
couraging," Miss Armstrong
said, "but even more dis
heartening is the fact that on
ly 7.5 of the faculty has
contributed to the AUF Fac
ulty Drive."
The goal of $1200 was based
on the number of faculty
members using $1.00 per per
son as a realistic expec
tation, says Miss Armstrong.
So far, $620 has been col
lected. "In past years," explains
Miss Armstrong, "the trend
has showed the largest per
centage of donations b e I n g
received during the first half
of the drive, which suggests
that a disproportionate re
sponse will now he necessary
to meet the goal."
Funds solicited during the
drive will be sent to the World
University Service iW'US).
"In addition to posters, trnt
cards, pamphlets, and a full
sized bill board, we have
tried to coo tact personally
each member of the faculty,"
states Jo Ann Christensen,
Faculty Drive chairman.
"AUF board members have
been speaking at department
meetings since March 14," she
continued, "to explain t h e
purposes and goals of AUF,
and the work of WUS."
"The fact shave been pre
sented;' the students have
organized and are conducting
their solicitation," Miss Arm
strong said. "The dollars are
being withheld by the major
ity of faculty members."
elicited even fewer correct
responses. Only 25.2 per cent
answered correctly. Students
at Colorado answered 41.6 per
cent correctly.
Over Half Correct
Those supporting U.S. poli
cy answered 22.1 per cent cor
rectly, while 29.9 per cent of
those opposed to U.S policy
answered correctly.
Concerning the fifth ques
tion, "Who is the head of th
U.S. forces in Viet Nam?",
a paradox arises. At the Uni
versity of Colorado, those sup
porting U.S. policy answered
correctly at a higher rate,
46.9, than those not support
ing U.S. policy, (45.2 per cent
correct).
At the University, the re
sults were reversed, with
those against U.S. policy an
swering 40.1 per cent correct
ly. Those in favor answered
at a rate of 38.4 per cent cor
rectly. The correct response
was General William West
moreland. Dien Bien Phu?
The final question. "When
was the battle of Dien Bien
Phu?", brought the fewest
correct responses on both
campuses. In Nebraska, 15 2
per cent of the students an
swered correctly with 1954. In
Colorado, 22.4 per cent of the
students were right.
The correct answer was
given by 22 per cent of those
opposed to U.S. policy, and
by 9.5 per cent of those sup
porting U.S. policy.
