Miss Girard
For Service
A letter nominating Miss
Madeline Girard for Out
standing Nebraskan has
been received citing 18
years of service to "the
University and the Greek
system as Panhellenlc ad
viser on a volunteer basis."
Letters will be accepted
In the Dally Nebraskan of
fice uptil noon Wednesday.
Two "Outstanding Nebras
kans," one student and one
faculty member, will be
named In Friday's issue of
the paper.
Other nominations to date
Include Polly Rhynalds,
Cathie Shattuck, Gary
Larsen, Dr. Peter Wolfe
and Dr. Floyd Hoover.
Miss Girard, the letter
continued, has chosen "to
take a personal interest in
all phases of campus life"
and has directed five soror
ities in colonization on the
campus.
In the time she has been
here, the letter states,
Panhellenlc has established
scholarship, social and ac
tivities councils and soror
ity membership has grown
from 800 tP 1,500.
"She was influential in
getting the Dean's Assis
tance Fund established for .
assistance to any student '
who comes into unexpected
financial crisis and needs
help to meet an emer
gency," the letter says.
In addition, the nomina
tion continues, Miss Girard
"established a philanthropic
award which bears her
name. The Award is pre
sented to the living unit
which does the most for
charity each year on Ivy
Day.
"Perhaps one of the
greatest Indicators of Miss
Girard's abilities is the
fact that under her guid
ance, Panhellenlc at the
University was awarded the
first Leland award" for
the most outstanding cam
pus Panhellenlc, the letter
notes.
The letter concludes that
it is only "fitting that Miss

tinued and unselfish ser
vice to the University community."

Specialists in 25 fields re
lated to agriculture pre
sented seminars to students
from the College of Agri
culture and Home Econom
ics at the sixth annual Pro
fessional Opportunities Con
ference on East Campus
Dec. 8.
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

Tennessee, when Sorensen

later worked as a Legislative
assistant to the late Presi

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.

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. The Ag Exec Board ear

while he was in college.
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.

'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.

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

an amendment to the

would be "null and void"
