SAM Alum Lee White Returns, Views Years As Kennedy Aide By John Fryar Junior Staff Writer University alumnus Lee White, chairman of the Fed eral Power Commission, vis ited both his son and the Uni versity Sunday as the Sigma Alpha Mu "Man of the Year." White, 43, was graduated In Engineering in 1948 and from the law college in 1950. His son Bruce is a freshman Sigma Alpha Mu pledge.

The conference was spon sored jointly by the East Campus Faculty Commit tee en Convocations and the Ag Exec Board. In an opening speech be fore an audience of approx imately 300, T. W. Wendell of the Industrial relations department of Swift and Co. told students what com panies look for in hiring em ployees. He stressed the importance of college ac tivities because working in them shows employers that a person can communicate with people. The Ag Exec Board also presented its first annual annual Outstanding Pro fessor Award to Howard Wiegers assistant professor of poultry science of t h e Poultry Science Depart ment. Following the general as sembly, students attended seminars in the three of 25 possible fields they had se lected ahead of time. These smaller seminars were conducted rather like classes, according to Dave Snyder, chairman of the Ag Exec Board. Each seminar lasted approximately 50 minutes of which 40 min utes might be lecture and 10 minutes set aside for questions. Each specialist was ac companied by a faculty member who introduced him and served as host. Presentations included such fields as agricultural chemicals, dairy techno logy, farm credit, farm and ranch management, feed industry, food and meat technology and U.S. Forest Service.

White was working as a lawyer for the Tennessee Val ley Authority In Knoxville, Tennessee, when Sorensen recommended that he talk to then Senator Kennedy. He later worked as a Legislative assistant to the late Presi dent. He observed that while the University is currently hav ing budgetary problems in obtaining legislature pro priations, the situation was the same while he was in col lege. He predicted that such financial problems would still be present after another quarter-century. , White noted, however, that the enrollment now is near 17,000 and was only 5 to 6,000 Science was chairman of the conference. Other com mittee members included: Dr. James G. Kendrick, as sociate Professor of Ag Economics Dr. John J.

Ag Exec Chooses Wiegers Top Prof The Ag Exec Board pre sented its first annual Out standing Professor ward to Howard Wiegars of the Poultry Science Depart ment at the sixth annual Conference Dec. 8. The outstanding profes sor, selection is based on the "student point of view," according to Dave Snyder, chairman of the Ag Exec Board. The committee considers the contribution that the professor makes outside the classroom and how well he relates to students in their total education outside his particular field, Snyder added. Each East Campus or ganization submitted names of outstanding teachers in their areas. The Ag Exec. Board reviewed the qualifi cations and made tiheir se lection, Snyder said. Wiegars was presented a plaque and will have h i s name inscribed on a larg er plaque which will hang in the C. Y. Thompson Li brary.

He said that it was "tough to generalize" on the results of the recent elections, but admitted that the Republicans had made "tremendous gains" in the House, Senate and key governorships. Discounts RFK White discounted Senator Robert Kennedy's presiden tial chances in 1968 adding that Kennedy himsolf had noted that a party tradition ally renominates an incum bent President. He said that Sen. Kennedy would be in the "top of the league in 1972" by virtue of his Senatorial position, hut stated that the Kennedy fam ily knows from personal ex perience not to depend on long-range plans. White partially attributed the defeat of his personal friend Phillip Sorensen in Ne braska's gubernatorial race to the reaction of voters against having such a young man in office. Conservatism He said that Nebraska's congressional delegation was regarded in Washington as representing the conserva tism of the state. He said that defeated Democrative Congressman Clair Callan had made an "impressive" showing in the office. White stated that it was dif ficult to compare the "living President with the martyr ized one," and pointed out that both were successful po liticians. He said that John son may have combined his legislative skills and a "na tional feeling of guilt" to enact many of Kennedy's bogged-down programs. Even though many Nebras ka graduates get "good jobs." White said that it was "dis couraging" to see so many University graduates leave the state. He said that only three of his classmates who started in 1941, still live in Nebraska. He said that although he disagreed with the Idea attri buted to Ted Sorensen that "Nebraska is a state to move away from," he thought Sor ensen was using the state ment as a "literary device." Mobile Population White said that with the national "mobile population," Nebraska is probably receiv ing its share of technical and commercial personnel from other states. White chatted with old friends at ihe Sigma Alpha Mu reception, met the sons of friends and classmates and (browsed through reminders of his own pledgeship. He said he was "jolted" by the realization that his son was this age while he himself could vividly remember col lege days. He stated that the "years had been kind" and this was not a "painful" reunion as many sometimes are. 136 UNION 'Prof Evaluation BookflP5 To Be Next year's faculty eval uation booklet will be big ger and will be more of a complete aid to the students and instructors, according to Tom Morgan, chairman of the Faculty Evaluation committee. "We are hoping to in clude 300 teachers in next year's booklet, but it is hard to tell at this time whether this will be a max imum, a minimum, or what," Morgan stated. "This year the overall re sponse, was favorable and .both faculty and students see the value in the book let." The committee has re vised the questionnaire to contain 21 multiple-choice questions. Morgan said that the evaluation will be bas ically the same, but that more information will be in cluded, such as the number of quizzes and tests given and whether they come from the instructor's I e c tures or from the textbook. "The questionnaire has been improved to bring out more information so that the student can make a bet ter decision," Morgan ex plained. The question in last year's booklet pertaining to whom the student would recom mend taking the course has Liquor Control Commission May Issue Licenses Early L i q u o r-by-the-drink li censes could be issued in Lincoln earlier than pre viously expected. Francis Robinson, State Liquor Control Commission chairman, has not denied the possibility that the com mission may begin issuing the licenses this week. Liquor-by-the-drink was approved by Lincoln voters in the Nov. 8 election. The licenses provide for the sale of liquor and beer, both on and off sale, at one location. Under state law, the com mission can legally start taking action on the li censes approved by the City Council Tuesday at 5 p.m. Robinson said persons have until 5 p.m. Monday to file protests. If no pro tests are filed the commis sion will follow the proper procedure. Robinson said that he did not previously state that no licenses would be issued un til after the first of t h e year. "What I said was we will not conduct any hearings until after the first of the APPLY Applications for second semester staff positions on the Daily Nebraskan are now being accepted by the editor and business manager in Room 51 Nebraska Union.

Business Staff: Advertising Space Salesmen. In addition to these positions, the Pub lications Board has created two new posi tions, Senior Copy Editor and Senior Writer, which wiil be subject to appointment by the Board. Applications for interviews should be turned into the Daily Nebraskan Office; Student Activities Fund Office, Kuom 129 Nebraska Union; or to the School of Journa lism, Nebraska Hall. Revised, Bigger been eliminated, according to Morgan. "We will put the facts about the course before the student and let him make his own decision. This move will also erase some of the misuse of the booklet by the students and the misinter pretation of it by outsid ers," he stressed. Many of this year's 119 evaluated teachers will be re-evaluated this year, Mor gan said, because the new questionnaire will show different things about the teacher. In addition, it will help provide a more fair exaluation. Morgan said that the sec ond book will be out next fall, in time for second semester registration. This will enable the committee to evaluate teachers during this semester's and next semester's dead week. "The booklet will there fore be applicable next year to both second semester of next year and the following first semester courses," he stated. Morgan said that mem bers of his committee have contacted the deans of var ious colleges to explain what they are doing and to ask their permission to evaluate teachers within the c o 1 leges. "By this, we hoped to year," he said. The commission holds hearings on a license when protests are filed or the lo cal governing body recom mends denial of an applica tion. The City Council ap proved six of the first ten applications for liquor-by-the-drink. Class C, licenses, last Monday on the condi tion that the owners sign an agreement forfeiting their right to sell package liquor and beer. Robinson said he had no comment to make on the commission's reaction to the Council's move. Attor neys for four of the appli cants immediately drew up an amendment to the agreement stating that it would be "null and void" if the state body reversed the council's decision. Councilman John Mason and City Attorney Ralph Nelson also questioned the legality of the council's ac tion. Council member Mrs. Helen Boosalis said the council took the action be cause, "We want good op NOW! eliminate some of the prob lems that we had last year with some dean's disapprov al of teachers in their col lege being evaluated. In ad dition, we felt this would establish a working rela tionship with the d e a n s," he said. The colleges in which the teachers will be evaluated next semester are Business Administration, Arts and Sciences (including journa lism), Teachers, and Agri culture and Home Econ omics. Morgan said that Engi neering and Architecture de clined to participate be cause they presently have an evaluation system of their own among their teachers and want to de velop it before taking on another form. The committee is present ly drafting a letter which will go to 600 instructors next week explaining the booklet and the procedures which will be followed this year. Morgan said that the questionnaires will be mailed to the instructors through the campus mail. The questionnaires will be sent before dead week, leaving the choice of which class will do the evaluat ing up to the instructor himself. erators. We want to be sure they conform to all the rules. "We're aware of what a Class C license provides but we feel that each commu nity should have the right to say what controls apply, she said. "We are simply concerned with what is best for our own community." The council has sched uled public hearings for 45 more applicants Monday at 1:30 p.m. More were origin ally scheduled, but eight applications were with drawn. There have been over 80 applications for the licenses. PRE- HOLIDAYV CLOTHING SALE fjj Save 20 on our entire stock of famous label sportcoats and ensembles brand new stock of the latest styles.
