Junior Starr Writer
Dr. Thomas B. Thorson. a
zoology professor with a nose
for discovery, explores bio
logical features of sharks in
habiting the .waters of Nica
ragua. Sponsored by grants of the
Office of Naval Research and
National Heart Institute,
Thorson has been researching
in Lake Nicaragua and the
San Juan River which leads
to the Carribean Sea for the
past eight summers.
Seeking to understand the
features of body fluids which
change as the bull sharks
move from sea to fresh wa
ter, Thorson and his eight
member team employ a
shark tagging system.
Fishermen catch sharks
According to the professor,
the team depends almost en
tirely on native fishermen
for catching sharks which the
scientists later tag.
After tagging sharks at the
mouth of the river, the Thor
son team is able to observe
how and at what time the

Rewards are given to those
natives who catch the tagged
sharks and report the infor
mation to Thorson, the zoolo
gy professor explained. Ac
cording to Thorson, 100 of
1000 sharks tagged were re
turned, some being reported
two thirds way up the river.
Sharks protected
To protect those sharks
which are captured when
young, the team has erected
two portable swimming pools
with thatched huts- Blood
samples for research can be
taken from these specimens,
Thorson explained.
Last summer the team was
able to trace the movements
of sharks which carried elec
tronic tags by means of a
portable hydrophone in t h e
boat. By picking up the elec
tronic waves, the boatman
could follow the shark for
several hours.
Similarly, next summer
they will use seven shore
monitors which will record
on tape the time and direc
tion of movement of the

"I think the course was
very successful," Hough com
mented.
There seems to be conxid
erable demand for similar
courses this summer, accord
ing to Hough. He has re
ceived a number of telephone
calls asking if such classes
will again be offered.
Hough envisions course of
fering in not only English
but in classics and history
as well. Credit and cost
would be the same as if the
course was taken at the regu

Spending the ten-week ex
cursion in a Costa Rican
village of 300 people. Barra
del Colorado, the Thorson
team lived in thatched roof
houses and ate in the homes
of natives.
The natives, which Thor
son described as having some
schooling, welcome the sum
mer researchers. Thorson at
tributed this to the fact that
the pay the fishermen re
ceive for catching sharks is
a boost to their income.
Thorson, who has done
some research in Florida on
strictly the marine phase of
the shark, has also done work
concerning body fluids on
stnngrays in the Amazon
River.
Always anxious to continue
research in the primitive vil
lage, Thorson said research
would be underway by m id
June this summer.
The University must
see
just how valuable the cours
es are and on what basis the
courses should be based on,
he countinued. "We must see
if they are educationally ap
propriate," he emphasized.
Hough reported that a de
cision must oe reacnea on
the take-home courses within
the next efw days. "We have
to order text books and have

Wavering foreign confi
dence in the United States and
how American propagandists
deal with it is the subject of
former Nebraskan Thomas
C. Sorensen's new book, "The
World War: The Story of
American Propaganda."
Deputy Director of the
United States Information
Agency from 1961-65, Soren
sen received his B.A. from the
University of Nebraska and
is now Vice-President of the
University of California.
"There has been confusion
about the role of truth in a
government information pro
gram," says Sorensen." We
emphasize those aspects of
American life and policy
which are of greatest signifi
cance in furthering our fore
ign policy objectives. We re
port events in context. But
we do not lie, we do not cheat,
we do not suppress."
In tracing the development
of American propaganda,
Sorensen discusses incidents
from the Bay of Pigs, to
the 1963 "March on Washing
ton," to the 1956 Hungarian
revolt, to the Cuban Missile
Crisis.
Sorensen comes from one
