niversity Aids Students
Finding Employment
Employment has been found
this summer by hundreds of
students with the help of the
Scholarships and Financial
Aids Department of the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
The financial aids depart
ment works directly with
downtown businesses in plac
ing students in summer jobs.
No Minimum Wage
"There is no minimum
wage set by the University
when finding jobs for the stu
dents. That is left up to the
individual and the business,"
said Dennis B. Tillman, em
ployment assistant.
The average wage of part
time students is $1.25.
The YMCA and YWCA are
just two of eleven non-profit
agencies which cooperate with
the University in placing stu
dents in jobs.
Work Study Program
"It is impossible to know
the exact number of students
placed in jobs this summer,"
said Tillman, "but the Work
Study Program sponsored by
the federal goverment's Eco
nomic Opportunity Act of
1964, has helped more than
400 University students find
summer jobs.
To be eligible for employ
ment through the Work Study
Program, the student must
be from a low income family
and must be able to prove a
definite financial need.
Full-time Students
The Work Study Program
includes only those who are
registered as full time stu
dents for the coming fall
term. Married people and
older single students may also
participate in the program,
but they must be able to prove
that they do not receive more
than $100 a year in support
from home.
A student attending classes
is limited to 15 hours of work
a week under the program as
compared to a 40 hour work
week for those not attending
school.
"The student in the Work
Study Program is given pri
ority in job placements, and
the work hours are better,"
said Mr. Jarold L. Peck, fi
nancial advisor. Students in
the program usually are given
employment on campus.
More girls than boys apply
for summer employment, "but
it is harder to find jobs for
girls," said Tillman.
Boys have a much broader
selection all year around. Fall
employment is primarily with
maintenance or related with
office work. During the sum
mer there are even more jobs
available to them. Many con
struction crews need extra
help.
"Finding iobs for girls is
somewhat more difficult.
Those with clerical skill are
quite easily placed. Some em
ployment can be found in the
Student Union and the li
braries on campus," Peck
added.
First 'Navy' Ship To Be Launched
The sky was blue, the sun
was shining and the water
was calm as we inspected the
SSCentennial last Saturday.
The craft, styled after the
old fur thraders barge, was
noticeable with its gold and
blue state colors. This vessel,
commemorating the Nebraska
Centennial was a bery real
craft, the first in Nebraska's
mythical naby and we would
be its crew.
Proud And Anxious
Standing on the deck and
the pilot house, we, the Ju
nior Representatives of Ne
braska, couldn't help but feel
excited, proud and anxious.
Rich Gallantine, Mark Han
self will pilot the raft down
the Missouri-Mississippi River
from Omaha to New Orleans.
The 29-day trip will be the
first recorded success for this
type of pontoon raft on the
river.
Preparations
We have been studying
Coast Guard river charts, out
board engine manuals and
other nautical equipment in
preparation for the July 16
launch date. With respect for
the natural p rewo adrcae
the natural power and treach
erous currents of the Missouri
Mississippi River we will be
assisted bya professional riv
er pilot.
Port Calls
Our navigation , is only a
means to an end. At 18 differ
ent port calls we will pro
mote and advertise the Ne
braska Centennial for 1967.
WTe have had wonderful
consideration and cooperation
under the planning of the Cen
tennial Commission. While
there are still many details to
be arranged our biggest prob-1
lem is impatience.
Raft Construction
The
The Nebraska Centennial
Raft Idea was conceived in
January of 1965, and construc
tion on the raft first started
at the Nebraska Vocational
School at Milford, Nebraska
in April, 1966..
The raft measures 22 feet
in length and is 10 feet wide
the floatation system is com
posed of steel beams and
steel barrels. The design of
the raft is patterned after the
fur-trading barges that trav
eled ten Missouri River dur
ing the days of the Nebraska
Territory. The deck house is
constructed of split logs, and
the deck chests loaded with
pelts add an authentic touch.
Radio And TV
The raft will be equipped
with ship-to-shore radio and
ship-to-shore telephone which
will allow the crew to notify

"students are exposed to all

that these professors bring
their own backgrounds and

Added Faculty
The enrollment in Teach

during the summer, Sorenson
said, so faculty members
must be added to accommo
date the class load. These
new staff members are re

ments of education.
Though there are visiting
professors during the year
who stay for one or two se
mesters, they are more pre

Guest Lecturer
This summer there will also
be 35 guest lecturers who will
participate in workshops,
seminars, institutes and clin

A Passionometer?
By Ed Bervin
"Is there a passionometer?
Can scientists measure the
amount of passion in a kiss?
Can a wife discover how much
her husband loves her?"
These were some of the
questions running through my
mind as I accidentally dis
covered the word, "passiono
meter"in Webster's New In
ternational Dictionary.
"Why not?" I thought to
myself. "Modern science has
instruments for measuring
everything else. WTiy not pas
sion? On my way to the psycho
logy department, the same
thought kept running through
my mind. "What will they
think of me? Maybe they'll
want to lock me up."
At first, I felt rather fool
ish asking about a passiono
meter, but I quickly warmed
to my task and got up enough
nerve to ask the secretary
who directed me to Asst.
Prof, of Psychology, James
Reynierse.
Dr. Reynierse laughingly re
plied that, "Man is the best
passionometer," and referred
me to Dr. Marvin J. Brodsky,
assistant professor of psycho
logy, who tolj me that the
passionometer, as such, is
non-existant.
"Scientists can measure a
person's degree of excitment,"
Dr. Brodsky said, " but there
is no known way of telling
whether his excitment is
caused by passion or whether
he is angry or afraid."
"There are 22 ways of mea
suring changes in emotiona
lity," he said, "but none of
these methods can distinguish
one passion from another."
"Some people question whe
ther we should have a pas
sionometer," Dr. Brodsky
said. "After all, how would
you like a machine to tell
your girlfriend how much you
love her?"
"Well," I thought,"it was
fun while it lasted." Then I
slowly walked back across
campus trying to measure my
disappointment as a good pas
sionometer should.

Fun, Pain Mixed
With Experiences
By ED BERVIN
Most students agree that
summer school is a memor
able experience, but few have
the same experiences to re
member.
For some, summer school
is exciting.
Late at night ... a scream
. . . terror! "There are three
crickets in the bathroom",
shouts a terrified girl as she
cringes in the far corner of
her apartment.
This was summer school
for Judy Mahar, a junior
from Bellevue.
Suns Pains
For others, summer school
is painful.
"I got the great sunburn
this afternoon. Ooooh! It
hurts so gooood!"
This was summer school
for Mark Plattner, a senior
from Omaha.
Dull Weekends
For still others, summer
school is dull.
"Everyone goes out of town
on the weekends. There's just
nothing to do except study
and sleep!"
This was summer school
for Ruth Hagedorn, a junior
from West Point.
Many undergraduates agree
with Miss Hagedorn and call
Nebraska a "suitcase school."
Others feel differently,
pointing to the pleasant week
end atmosphere of Pioneers
Park, the Normal Street dam,
their favorite swimming pool,
or the many campus or city
sponsored activities.
During summer school, the
air conditioner becomes a
god to be worshipped daily.
Walking from Andrews Hall
to the Union often seems like
crossing the Sahara Desert.
Air Conditioning
The air-conditioned Union is
packed at all hours. It's not
unusual to see a high school
principal attired in a sports
shirt and a pair of bermudas
sipping a Coke in the Crib.
Seated in the adjoining
booth, a pair of nuns can be
overheard discussing their
classes. Nearby will surely be
a pair of undergrads in cut
offs and sandals, munching on
pretzels and drinking Cokes.
Dual Reading Efforts
Students of all ages can be
seen walking, eating, sun
bathing, and even sleeping
while reading books for their
English classes.
Despite having more time
to study, homework for other
classes is usually squeezed In
at the last minute or when

Woodford, Alfred Oswald
HISTORICAL GEOLOGY. San
Francisco, W. H. Freeman,
1965. Call number QE651.W6.
This is an unusual book
dealing with the subject of
historical geology in a gen
era! way, because it is not
a quick or light review at
tempting to cover the whole
field. Instead, the author has
selected certain "episodes"
which focus on the funda
mental concepts in historical
geology and the evolution of
life. It is a fair and unbiased
book.
Of the 16 chapters, the first
eight give the background for
the remainder. The last eight
deal with sequential episodes.
As examples of the back
ground chapters, the second
is concerned with ancient life,
while the eighth chapter is an
account of radiometric ages.
In this the author finds, but
not definitively, that fossils
are still a safer guide for cor
relations than "absolute"
ages.
The sequential episodes be
gin with the Pre-Cambrian,
emphasizing the Canadian
Shield and South Africa.
Woodford names three "sys
tems", based on stratigraphic
relations and radiometric
ages in the former. He thinks
South Africa may eventually
furnish the best world stand
ards because there possibly
seven or eight "systems" are
represented. Other chapters
cover the rest of the Paleo
zoic. For the Mesozoic there
is a chapter devoted to the
reptiles. The final two chap
ters cover "The age of mam
mals" and "The Pleistocene".
This is a lavishly illustrat
ed, well-edited book, with
numerous light touches to
brighten its seriousness.

and the psychologist but also
the general college student.
Twenty-one observers from
stations in Africa, Asia and
Central America communi
cate some of the excitement
of their work in this rela
tively new research area.
All the authors attended a
nine month "Primate Proj
ect" held at Stanford's Center
for advanced studies in the
behavioral sciences. This
symposium publication is
their group effort to develop
a guide and textbook in the
subject. Because the authors
admit that "field studies of
the quantity and quality to
build reliable theories of pri
mate behavior have yet to be
made", they hope to see their
book through many revisions.
They intend to rewrite each
chapter as field reports come
In and add chapters on the
tree shrews and man.
As in most symposia, the
papers range from the un
avoidably technical, such as
J. R. Bastian's "Primate sig
nalling system and human
language," to the more gen
eral, such as Jane Goodall's
recapitulation of her field
studies of chimpanzees in
Africa.
There are informative pho
tographs, a fourteen-page
bibliography, and an appendix
by George Schaller on field
techniques.

Orientations Given
Through Counsel
Acquainting incoming fresh
men with college life is the
main purpose of the summer
orientation program, accord
ing to Gerald Bowker, coordi
nator of the program.
Between 50 and 60 per cent
of the incoming freshmen will
spend two days touring the
campus, meeting with repre
sentatives of their colleges
and talking to college stu
dents. Meet With Advisors
During this period, students
have the opportunity to meet
with their advisers for help
with schedules. Students who
decide to drop or add a course
may do so now instead of in
the fall.
Student guides explain what
the life of a college student
is like. Special sessions in
troduce the freshman to stu
dent government, ROTC, AWS
and other campus activities.
Housing Programs
Programs on housing ex
plain to students, and their
parents what dormitory facil
ities are available and some
dormitory programs and ac
tivities. Student guides also
discuss the advantages and
disadvantages of the Greek
system.
This year, for the first time,
students are taking an aptitude
test. The test will be used to
help determine how good high
school preparation has been.
It will help the University to
fit its program to the needs
of the students.
Freshmen Norms
"This test is being used to
establish freshmen norms,"
said Bowker. However, he
stressed that this test is not
the main purpose of the orien
tation program.

Most prospective freshmen
are enthusiastic about the
program. Many find the con
ferences with their advisers
the most valuable part.
Promotes Understanding
Pat Cheshier, of Fremont,
said her adviser helped her
decide which class to take.
She now understands the
hours system and what is
expected in the Honor pro
gram. Karen Kreyelk, of Niobrara,
said she would have been in
a "real mess." If it hadn't
been for the orientation ses
sion, she probably would have
wasted the first two weeks of
school.
Parent orientation is a
major part of the program.
Mrs. Willard Barta, also of
Niobrara, had high praise for
the student guides. She said
it was worth getting up at 3:30
a.m. to hear students discuss
the Greek system, freedom
on campus and other topics.
She said she especially liked
the honesty with which they
answered questions.
