Breckenridge to resume
teaching after sabbatical
University Vice-Chancellor Adam
C. Breckenridge will step down
from his administrative duties Aug.
31 to take a one-year leave of ab
sence to prepare him for resum
ing his teaching as professor of
political science in the fall of 1969.
The change of assignment was
approved by the Board of Regents
at its meeting in Omaha Friday.
Dr. Breckenridge has been ser
ving as director of international
programs at the University for
the past two years.
Doing research
He will spend his leave of ab
sence doing research and writing
that he may resume teaching in
1969.
Dr. William Colwell, cur
rent chief of the University Mis
sion at Bogota, Colombia, was
named to succeed Breckenridge.
He will assume his new position
effective August 1.
Two years ago Breckenridge,
then dean of faculties, asked for
end was given the position of di
rector of international programs on
a one-year basis.
Appointment extended
At the end of 1967 the appoint
ment was extended another year
because the University was under
taking its program in Colombia.
Breckenridge said he was intrig

After the honeymoon ...
.FU course contrasts
mistress-mother image
by John Dvorak
Junior Staff Writer
What happens to married cou
ples after the honeymoon.
This, is the subject of a course
to be taught this semester in the
Nebraska Free University (NFU)
by Mrs. Twig Daniels, director of
the University YWCA.
Course topics will include how
a wife can look like a playgirl
even though she is married and
pregnant and how she can be both
a mistress and a mother to her
husband, according to Mrs. Dan
iels. Registration begins Wednesday
for this and all other NFU courses.
A lack cf understanding
"While working with women stu
dents, I find that many lack a real
understanding of what marriage is
all about," said Mrs. Daniels.
"I am concerned about the girls
who get married right out of col
lege without thought of responsi
bility," she continued.
The course will include four ses
sions, each consisting ut a panel
discussion. Mrs. Daniels is coor
dinating the panels.
"Ilis job comes first"
The first sesion will be entitled
the national university in Colom
bia. The program is financed lar
gely through AID, Ford and Kel
log Foundation grants.
Breckenridge explained he h a s
wanted to teach at the University
since he was in graduate school
here. In the spring of 1953 he was
named chairman of the political
science department. After serving
turned to the University, assum
ing his dean of faculties post in
1955.
Return to teaching
He said he accepted the post
with the understanding he would
one day return to an active role
in teaching.
He called his years of exper
ience gained from serving at the
administrative level very worth
while and very valuable but he
expressed a sincere desire to re
sume his teaching position.
He plans to instruct in tha areas
of modern government, and Amer
ican politics, parties and issues.
His interest lies in government at
the national, state and local lev
els, and the formation of public
attitudes and public policy, he said.
Other action
In other action by the Regents,
leaves of absence were granted to
Dr. Leslie Hewes, chairman of geo
graphy department, and Dr. Le
Roy Laase, chairman of speech and
dramatic arts department. The
leave covers the first semester of
1968-69 academic year.
Dr. Mark Hammer, associate
professor of civil engineering, was
"His job comes first." Three hus
bands will discuss what they ex
pect of a wife in connection with
their jobs. The panel wil explain
why the husband's occupation is
of primary concern.
"How to be a mother and a mis
tress to your husband," is the ti
tle of the second session. Three
married women will discuss the
multiple duties of the wife, ex
plained Mrs. Daniels.
In the third panel session, three
young mothers will discuss how a
wile can look like a playgirl al
though she is pregnant.
First pregnancy
The first pregnancy can psycho
logically affect the wife as well
as the father," Mrs. Daniels said.
"It is important that a wife be
feminine while she is pregnant."
The fourth session will bear the
same title as the course, "After
the Honeymoon." Three recently
married women will talk about
problems they have faced, such as
sex, money, jobs and in-laws. They
will tell how their outlooks on mar
riage have changed.
This course, which is limited to
girls who expect to marry within
a year, will help inform girls on
what is expected of them in their
marriage, Mrs. Daniels said.
The class will attempt to show
named acting chairman of the ci
vil engineering department start
ing last Friday and running until
June 30, 1969. He replaces Dr. Ad
rian R. Legault, who will continue
as professor of civil engineering.
A committee headed by Dr. Rich
ard ' C. Guilford, director of the
Graduate School of Social Work,
was named to study the impact
of past, present and future acqui
sition of property east of the city
campus.
Chancellor Clifford M. Hardin an
nounced last week that the Uni
versity is genuinely concerned about
the people whose property is pur
chased due to the eastward expan
sionof the city campus. "
The Regents also approved bids
totaling $762,206 for construction of
the Kimball Recital Hall just east
of the Westbrook Music Building.

life to her husband and children
and how she can be the boss with
out acting like it, she said.
"We've taken a survey to find
out the things girls are most in
terested in concerning marriage,"
Mrs. Daniels said. "The various
panels will discuss these questions
Also, girls attending the class will
be able to ask questions directly
of the panel."
"Several courses offered on mar
riage and family relations in the
home economics department rough
ly parallel "After the Honeymoon,"
Mrs.Daniels said.
The psychological aspects
Whereas home economics classes
emphasize the mechanical things
in marriage like forming a bud
get, the NFU class will discuss the
more psychological aspects of mar
riage, explained Mrs. Daniels.
Mrs. Daniels taught a course on
the image of women last semester
in the NFU. "We gave out a re
commended list of books and ar
ticles and1 also used some pham
phlets," she said. We didn't have
a textbook as such."
This same procedure, which was
successful last semester, will be
followed in "After the Honeymoon."

Selleck protests policy
with paper barricade
Selleck residents protested the
open door policy Sunday by ad
hering to it. A floor of girls dressed
in night gowns and a floor of
men in swim trunks during the open
, house.
According to one, resident, two
sther Selleck residents employed
another form of protest: stacking
newspapers chin-high in the door
way so that passers-by could not
see in the room.
The action by Selleck residents
followed a conference Friday be
tween the University Board of Re
gents and two dormitory leaders.
The Regents will review any fu
ture decision the subcommittee on
student affairs reaches on the con
troversial open door ruling, three
Regents said this weekend.
The Regents took no action on
the open door policy after meet
ing for more than two hours with
Inter-Dormitory Association (IDA)
President Bruce Bailey and Abel
Sandoz President Richard Page
Friday in Omaha.
A motion which would require
only those residents participating
in the open house to abide by the
door ruling will be considered by
the sub-committee Friday after
noon. Review in March
Dr. B. N. Greenberg, president
of the Regents, said they would re
vewa sub-committee decision as
early as March 18 or 19 when the
Regents reconvene in Lincoln.
However, he added, if action
must be taken sooner the Board
could reconvene at an earlier date.
Although' the Regents generally
felt there would be no partial par
ticipation during open houses, Bail
ey said the meeting gave the two
dormitory leaders a chance to un
derstand that the Board denied just
the coed-v i s i t i n g proposal last
April.
Regents may disagree
Page said he felt the motion cur
rently under consideration by the
sub-committee might not be ac
ceptable to the Regents who could
accept the original policy.
Article five of the six-clause open
house policy the sub-committee
passed in December states that all
doors except those of residents
absent from the floor during the
open house must remain open.
Those residents leaving the floor
must register their absence with
the responsible officer.
"The Regents didn't disagree
with the idea of having visitors
in the residence hall rooms, but

idea of having all doors open,"
Page said.
Page said Bailey and himself
stressed student responsibility in
their talk with Regents, since there
has only been one adverse inci
dent over the past few years dur

"Students responsible"
"We didn't feel the extra rules

NU geologist goes
south for winter
Dr. Treves explores
Antarctic volcano
by Janet Maxwell
Junior Staff Writer
A University scientist went south
for the winter to find 24-hour sun
shine and "warm" temperatures
of zero degree centigrade.
Dr. Samuel B. Treves, who has
recently returned from an Antar
tic expedition, described Antarc
tica as a continent devoted to sci
ence, where there is a completely
open and free interchange.
Treves, chairman of the Geol
ogy Department, has made sev
eral expeditions, four to Antartica
and three to Greenland. All trips
were sponsored by the National
Science Foundation.
Assisted by a geology major
from Ohio State University, Treves
spent the southern hemisphere
months, November through Janu
ary, in Antarctica. This summer
season, characterized by 24-hour
daylight, permitted a 16-hour work
ing day to take advantage of good
weather.
According to Treves, they ate
dehydrated or frozen food, lived
in tents with double walls and
wore clothing designed on the "lay
er principle," the colder it gets,
the more layers one puts on.

tions and ramifications in the open
door policy," he said, "I want to
see the proposition and any change
the subcommittee makes before I
reach a decision."
Adkins emphasized the fact that
the students, and not the Board
or Regents, decide when open
houses will be held.
Terming the students' presenta
tion as excellent J. G. Elliott, Re
gent from Scottsbluff, said he fa
vored retaining open houses if they
are regulated as they have been
previously.
He also said he agreed with, the
open door rule currently in oper

additional time to study the pro

studied, then we'll come to a decision."
lem of living in the Antarctic, ac
cording to Treves. Like melting
snow for water, one needs to spend
a lot of time doing things just to sur
vive, he explains.
Other difficulties include t h e
weather, when continuous blowing
snow prevents work for several
days, and the isolation which calls
for accurate preparation, he said.
The major concern of his r e c e n t
trips was the volcanic rocks to
the Rock Island area located on
the coast about 600 miles from the
South Pole, Treves said. This area
contains Mount Erebus, the only
active volcano in Antarctica.
The volcanic rocks of the area
occur on fundamental fractures of
the earth's crust, he said. A study
of the patterns reveals the struc
tural evolution of the adjacent
mountains , of the Transantarctic
ranges, according to the scientists.
Recent work on the volcanic
rocks shows some are very sodium
rich, some are 6,800,000 years
old and some were extruded when
the magnetic field of the earth was
reversed, he said.
In spite of these difficulties, the
opportunity to work on rocks never
touched before is exciting, Treves
said.
